After crossing, I was miserable.

Soon it was the 28th day of the New Year. Before the first ray of sunlight in the early morning fully shone on the earth, Qian Duoduo couldn't wait to get out of the warm bed.

After she quickly washed up, she tiptoed into the kitchen and began to prepare for the busy day.

Today is an important day. Qian Duoduo plans to prepare a table of sumptuous dishes early to welcome the upcoming testimony dinner.

She specially called the well-behaved Xiao Li to come and help, and the two of them cooperated tacitly in the kitchen, full of laughter.

Qian Duoduo skillfully tied on an apron and placed various fresh ingredients on the chopping board one by one.

She first set about making the mouth-watering Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

Carefully selected precious ingredients such as sea cucumbers, abalone, shark fins, etc. are carefully cleaned and then put into the pot for slow cooking, emitting bursts of tempting aroma.

Of course, this table of sumptuous dishes includes more than just Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

Next, Qian Duoduo started preparing other delicious dishes without stopping.

She cut up the tender and juicy chicken and pork, preparing to use them to cook braised chicken and twice-cooked pork; she washed and picked the lush green vegetables, preparing to stir-fry a refreshing plate of garlic vegetables; and she also had golden and crispy fried shrimp balls and fragrant and delicious eight-treasure rice.

King crabs and other seafood were specially prepared today.

Eating seafood in winter is a very luxurious thing, but she is not afraid, because she has plenty of it in her space.

Every dish embodies Qian Duoduo's love and blessings for his family.

After a whole morning of intensive preparations.

Murong Yun and Chu Yan not only enthusiastically assisted Qian Yi and Zhou She in reorganizing the courtyard, but also did not leave out even every tiny corner.

When it was lunch time, everyone decided to have their meal in the yard, enjoying this rare leisure and tranquility together.

Normally speaking, they don't need to do even trivial tasks like moving small items themselves.

In the huge villa, there are servants everywhere. With just one order, everyone will arrange everything properly.

However, today's situation is different and significant.

Because of this, Murong Yun and Chu Yan actively participated in the whole process, and every move and every effort they made was filled with deep blessings for Qian Yi and Zhou She.

At this moment, Chu Yan came over with light steps, holding a carefully prepared gift in his hand.

When I slowly approached and took a closer look, I found that it was a complete set of four treasures of the study of top quality. The pen, ink, paper and inkstone were all the best of the best, exuding an attractive luster and texture.

In addition, there are a number of extremely rare and precious palace items listed.

Seeing this, Murong Yun couldn't help but widen his eyes and couldn't help but smack his lips in amazement:

"Tsk tsk tsk! Brother Chu, isn't it a bit unrealistic for you to give such heavy and valuable gifts?" He said as he looked at the items carefully.

Relying on his many years of experience and knowledge, Murong Yun could tell at a glance that these items all came from the imperial palace, and must be considered as gifts from the emperor.

Such treasures cannot be used at will, nor can they be sold for money. They can only be carefully worshipped, with the utmost respect as if they were one's own ancestors.

Otherwise, if you are not careful, you may bring about a fatal disaster, or even bring disaster to the entire family.

"This? The gift is not valuable enough?" Chu Yan asked in surprise.

You know, Chu Yan seldom gives gifts to others on weekdays, except when he gives gifts to Qian Duoduo. Since Qian Duoduo often subtly hints him what he should choose as a gift, he seems to be particularly attentive.

As for other people, they usually just ask the housekeeper to take care of things for them.

The gifts given to Qian Yi this time were all carefully selected from the many rewards he had received in the past. They were definitely top-quality items that could be presented to him.

"That's not the case, it's just too expensive. How can a commoner like us use things from the palace?"

Chu Yan also reacted, and then said: "It's okay, these are all given to me by the emperor. Since they are given to me, I have the final say. Since I gave them to Qian Yi, he can use them however he wants, no need to worry."

Qian Yi walked forward and took the gift with both hands.

"Thank you, I like it very much. You don't have to listen to Murong. I can use the pens, ink, paper and inkstone here at any time. I will keep the other gifts for the time being and use them when I need them."

Murong Yun shrugged and didn't comment any more.

But he didn't expect that Qian Yi actually had a "dog" side. He later took these valuable things from the palace as his sister's dowry and returned to the palace again...

“Dinner is ready!!!”

Qian Duoduo's loud voice was heard, followed by the servants serving the dishes one after another.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Qian Yi walked slowly to Qian Duoduo with light steps, looked at her sincerely and seriously, and said softly.

Seeing this, Zhou She hurried forward with a grateful smile on his face, and responded respectfully: "Thank you, Miss!"

Qian Duoduo smiled slightly, shook his head gently, and replied softly:

"It's not hard. Everything I did today was for my brother and Brother Zhou. Even if I'm tired, I'm willing to do it."

After that, she winked playfully, then turned her gaze to Zhou She and continued, "But Brother Zhou, from now on, don't call me Miss anymore. Just call me Duoduo like you do to your brother."

Hearing this, Zhou She was stunned at first, then bowed slightly to show that he obeyed the order.

In fact, deep in his heart, he has always had deep respect and gratitude for his master Qian Duoduo.

If I hadn't met such a kind and generous master, I would have died long ago and would not have been alive today.

What's more, he has now successfully "kidnapped" the other person's brother, which makes him feel even more guilty and uneasy.

"Come on, let's sit down. Let's try to see if Duoduo's cooking skills have deteriorated." Murong Yun asked everyone to sit down and eat.

Qian Duoduo and Chu Yan sat together, Zhou She and Qian Yi sat together, and the single guy Murong Yun sat in the middle of the two couples.

"Should I sit between you?" Murong Yun said mischievously while looking at the seat.

"Don't worry, no matter where you sit, it can't change the fact that you are single." Qian Duoduo didn't care about him.

"Hmph, that's too much. Can we still enjoy our meal?" Murong Yun looked at the two couples in silence and just ate his meal.
