Only Qin Mingyu had a complicated expression, but he did not show any difference. He just smiled and calmly toasted Yuntang with a glass of wine, wishing her a safe and happy birthday and all the best.

Yuntang also smiled and returned half a cup of tea.

Everyone knew that Yuntang was drinking tea instead of wine, but no one dared to pester her to drink.

After all the male guests had exchanged greetings, Yong'an Hou looked at Yuntang, smiling happily:

"Tang'er, you'll have to go through the formalities with the female guests. Your second aunt and second aunt will accompany you. After that, go to your grandmother's table to eat."

Yuntang nodded and walked towards the female guest seat behind the screen, and found that everyone was waiting for her to come over, and no one had left their seat even after such a long time.

Yuntang cheered up and followed the Second Madam and Chenghe Princess to visit all the female guest tables, exchanging a few words with each one.

But Yuntang still only served tea to the wine. He said it was the Taoist rule that he was not old enough to drink, especially today he could not break the rule.

Anyway, these people don’t understand. They are all quick-witted but dare not urge others to drink.

There were also ladies who took advantage of their enthusiasm to pull Yuntang aside to talk a few more words, but Yuntang just kept smiling in response, and finally raised his head to look at the other tables that they had not yet reached.

What else do you not understand? Afterwards, it was too embarrassing to hold her back to talk more, so Yun Tang was able to get away.

As for the children's table, they didn't even wait for her to come. Instead, they had already eaten their fill and were running after her to watch the fun.

She didn't have to worry about it. Finally, she went to the side hall of the Taoist temple, where there were a few tables. The young men who had set up the table last gathered here to eat after they finished their work.

Xiao Ye, Xiao Jian, Xiao Hong and other young nephews are all here.

"Thank you for your hard work today. The ingredients for dinner have all been used up. Let's just have barbecue." After arriving here, Yuntang became more casual and said directly.

"Okay!" Everyone responded in unison. The voice spread into the garden and attracted many people to look.

In the end, Yuntang had his meal at the reserved seat here and did not go to Princess Cheng's place.

She thought that when she went to Princess Cheng's place, she would have to chat with the old ladies and princesses, and would not enjoy her meal.

There are many people here serving food to her, so she just needs to eat without entertaining anyone.

As for Yun Xuanmo, he had no chance to accompany her.

This was his first time attending such a banquet as the Duke of Dingguo, and he had already been pulled to a table with some relatively young marquises, dukes' sons, generals, and others to make friends with them.

Who doesn’t want to make friends with the emperor’s junior brother?

Just because Yun Xuanmo dared to draw his sword in the court and Yun Tang dared to eat melon seeds in the court, no one in the whole world is more favored by the emperor than them.

The female guests left the banquet first. Some went to stroll in the garden, some went to Tangfeng Courtyard to drink tea, rest, and change clothes...

Some old ladies or those who came with children also packed up and prepared to leave.

Yuntang only sent away a few elders and ignored the rest of the female guests.

She quietly passed the message to Yun Xuanmo, and they both hid back in their small courtyard next door and began counting money.

Piles of banknotes were placed on the table, and Yuntang counted the money with a smile.

Yuntang sold thirty bottles of Ningyudan, ninety pills.

After Yun Xuanmo sold twenty bottles, he said they were out of stock, a total of sixty pills.

Yun Tang counted out 600,000 taels of silver notes and handed the remaining 2.4 million taels to Yun Xuanmo.

"I'll collect the cost, and Ninth Senior Brother can spend what he earns."

Yun Xuanmo sat aside and drank tea, and said with a smile: "You can keep it, I just need enough money to use it."

In the past, he would give her money and buy her all kinds of food and toys.

Now she earns tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of taels of silver... Drawing talismans actually makes the least money, and he can't even support her.

Fortunately, the third senior brother said that starting from this month, the salary of Duke Dingguo would be given directly to him instead of Si Bochuan. After the family property is divided, he will still be able to make some money and will not need Tangtang to support him.

Yuntang stuffed a handful of silver bills into his hands.

"Sixth Brother and Eighth Brother, didn't you buy the goods from me? Just pay 10,000 taels for the purchase price. What you sell is yours, and what I sell is mine."

"Besides, do you have so much money and nowhere to spend it? Doesn't it cost money to marry a wife?" Yun Tang said and rolled his eyes at Yun Xuanmo.

Yun Xuanmo...

His face suddenly turned red. This silly Tangtang really dared to say that!

But what she said was not wrong. Yun Xuanmo coughed twice and quickly put the banknote away.

The daughter-in-law was supposed to be saved.

Yuntang didn't feel that she had said anything horrifying at all. She just said it subconsciously, and her attention was still on the remaining banknotes.

She first counted out the silver notes for ten bottles of Ningyu Dan, then counted out the cost of three hundred thousand taels, and handed the remaining one million and two hundred thousand taels of silver notes to Yun Xuanmo.

"Go to the palace later and give the money to Third Senior Brother. Tell him that it was an oversold item and I have already paid for it."

Yun Xuanmo took it and said with a smile, "Okay."

Yuntang continued to count the remaining money, which was also the cost of the sixty Ningyu Pills in the plan, and put the remaining 2.4 million taels of silver notes to the other side.

She suddenly paused and muttered in surprise, "Everyone is buying Ningyu Pills today, but no one is buying Qiangshen Pills and Xingshen Pills?"

Princess Corning’s case is so good, can’t it serve as publicity?

The 100,000 taels she sold to Princess Kang Yi were the cost price! Now she is selling at cost price and no one is buying?

"It's because no one has an urgent need for the elixir that they think one hundred thousand taels is not cheap. When the need comes, I'm afraid they will come to the door again." Yun Xuanmo said.

Yun Tang curled his lips and said unhappily: "Then increase it by another 10,000 taels."

Yun Xuanmo smiled and said, "It doesn't matter when you buy it. The elixir is in your hands, and the silver is in someone else's. There will always be a time to trade."

Yun Tang thought about it and said with a smile: "I know, I am not short of money anyway."

She shook the thick stack of banknotes, her face full of happy smiles.

The two of them enjoyed half an hour of leisure in the small courtyard, and finally went back there, Yun Xuanmo went to the palace, and Yun Tang returned to Tangfengyuan.

Butler Zheng hurried over to report the subsequent situation.

In fact, in the case of a grand banquet like this, the preparations are very hard in the early stages, and once the table is set, the task is half done.

After the banquet was over and the mess was cleaned up, everyone in the mansion breathed a sigh of relief.

By now, most of the guests had left, and the rest were still in the garden, chatting in groups of three or four. If it was any later, they would have left tactfully.

Of course, there are still some people who won't know how to leave.

People like the Crown Prince and the Prince of Qi, who had finally come out of the imperial study, of course had to have dinner before returning to take a rest.

The people chatting with them were friends of their own age. Even Qin Mingyu tactfully blended in with them, leaving the wife of the Duke of Pingguo to go back home by herself.

As for Xiao Ye and his group, they were already preparing the barbecue equipment. This was the second response plan that they had agreed on early in the morning.

If the twenty reserved meals are used at noon, a barbecue feast will be held in the evening.
