Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

Chapter 491 Returning from the Bao Family Banquet

In winter, although the house was warm and the food was hot, the girls did not dare to drink cold drinks. Xiao Lan had the little maid heat the wine before serving it.

The banquet lasted until the evening, and Xiao Lan asked the little maids to clear the table. Then she asked them to bring some refreshing tea and fresh fruits.

Zhao smiled and said, "Xiao Lan, send someone to the front to tell them not to drink too much. That's enough."

Xiao Lan readily agreed and actually sent a little girl to tell her.

Zhang smiled and said, "Everyone is happy today, so it's okay to let them drink a few more cups."

Zhao smiled and said, "I know, but the one in my family kisses me when he sees wine. I'm afraid he won't listen to others..."

Everyone laughed. Zhao was speaking from experience. Every time Bao and Sheng Xuan drank, they would always be drunk.

Soon the little girl came back and said that she had delivered the message.

Xiao Lan asked in a low voice, "The dining table in the front hall hasn't been cleared yet, right? Is everyone still drinking?"

The little girl nodded.

Xiao Lan didn't show it on her face, but she was thinking in her heart that everyone would get drunk today, and there was no telling when the food and wine would be finished.

Sure enough, it was not until Zhao sent people to urge them again and again that everyone finally dispersed.

After the banquet, everyone said goodbye. Xiao Lan asked the steward to arrange carriages and lanterns to take everyone home.

In the east room, Sheng Xuan washed his hands and face, changed into casual clothes, and sat opposite Zhang on the kang.

"You've drunk a lot, right? How about some more strong tea?" Zhang asked.

"I'm not drinking anymore. I was just busy talking at the table today and didn't drink much. Besides, today's wine doesn't have much aftertaste. I picked this out on purpose because I was afraid that my in-laws would drink too much..." Sheng Xuan said.

"Okay, if you're okay, you don't have to drink more." Zhang looked at Sheng Xuanmin and saw that his face looked normal, so she felt relieved.

That night, the whole family slept very soundly. In the morning, they got up, washed up, and had breakfast with Zhang Shanfeng's family. Last night, Bao and Zhao told Sheng Xuan and Zhang that they would prepare a banquet at noon today and invite Xiao Lan's family and Zhang Shanfeng's family to have a meal together.

Xiaolan's family was having dinner, and Xiaoting and Bao Hengjiu had already rushed to their home to invite them. They said that although they had already agreed yesterday, they came again this time to invite them, saying that it was a formality.

When Zhang saw Xiaoting and Baoheng coming over, she said to them, "We agreed yesterday that we would pack up and go back. Why did you two come over? It's so cold, and you brought Xiaomiao with you. What if the child gets cold?"

When Zhang saw Xiao Miao coming along, she was both happy and worried. She was afraid that her grandson would be cold or suffer any injustice on the way.

Bao Heng smiled and said, "Mom, we came here by car, we can't let Xiao Miao get cold."

"Mom, Xiao Miao has become smart now. I don't want to bring him here, but there is no way. He knows we are coming here, and he just looks at me. If I don't take him, he will cry." Xiao Ting said with a smile.

Zhang also laughed when she heard this. She was also a mother, so how could she not understand the child's temper?

Zhang waved to Xiaolan, signaling her to go back to the house and change clothes. The family quickly packed up, went outside and got in a carriage, and went to the town.

The banquet at the Bao family was also very sumptuous. After the meal, everyone drank tea and chatted together. It was not until the afternoon that everyone got up and returned to Shengjia Village.

After returning home, Xin, Xiaolan and Xiaoting went to Zhang's room to talk, "How about, let's go see the children's nanny now." Sheng Xuan looked at the time and discussed it with Zhang and the two children.

Mrs. Zhang nodded.

"Then let's send someone to check first to see if the old lady has rested. If she has rested and we go then the old lady will be unhappy." Xiao Lan said, "It's okay for us to go. This time my mother will go with us. If my mother goes with us, the old lady will definitely be suspicious and say that my mother is deliberately torturing her."

Cui didn't dare to show Zhang her displeasure in person now, but behind Zhang's back, she still always said some unpleasant things. No matter what Zhang did, in Cui's eyes, she was always her enemy and could not please her no matter what she did.

Xin and Zhang looked up at Sheng Xuan, who smiled wryly and said, "Okay, let's do it. I was originally planning to send someone to take a look, and then our family would go there."

Xiao Lan smiled slightly, and without revealing Sheng Xuan's obvious loophole, she sent someone to the village to inquire about the news. Soon she came back to report that she had just been met by Xu, who was very polite until Sheng Xuan's family was coming over, and had already packed up their things and cleaned the house.

Both Cui and Xu are very clean people. Xiaocao and Daya in the family also pay attention to hygiene. Even though Sheng Nuo and Sheng Hong are a little lazy, they are not sloppy. Now they are under the management of Cui and Xu, and they clean the yard every day.

Therefore, the Sheng family is considered to be the cleanest and most tidy family in the entire Shengjia Village and even in the surrounding villages.

Since Cui had not rested yet, there would be no harm in going over now. The family packed up a little, took a box filled with some snacks, fruits, etc., and headed towards the village.

The car stopped in front of the old house. Xiaolan and her family got out of the car. Shengxuan was in front, then Zhang and then Xiaolan and Xiaowen. The whole family came.

Xiao Lan got out of the car and looked around. She saw that the door of the old house was closed and there was no one in front of the door. But Xiao Lan sent someone back to say that it was clear that Xu knew they were coming. According to the etiquette of ordinary people, she should have come out to greet them at this time. Besides, Xu was a very good person, and she shouldn't have neglected them like this.

The attendants who followed had already opened the door of Lao Sheng's house, and the family walked into the yard. As soon as she entered the gate of the yard, Xiao Lan heard Cui's voice. Looking at the yard again, it was indeed cleaned quite clean, but there was no one in sight.

Xiao Lan couldn't help but wink at Xiao Wen. It turned out that Cui was cursing in the room. It seemed that Xu and the others didn't come out to greet them because they were tripped up by this matter. "It's like this even before I came back. This kind of scene really makes me miss it." Xiao Lan said deliberately.

When Zhang heard Cui scolding, she could not help recalling some not-so-good memories, and her face turned pale. Although she was now living a comfortable and proud life, she had been abused by Cui for so many years. Every time she heard Cui's voice or saw Cui in person, she would feel uncomfortable and even depressed.
