Monster, come to my bowl

After Cai Ji presented the huge gift, he returned to his seat without recognizing any relatives.

He sat at the head table.

When I was arranging seats before, I felt a little guilty when I sat down.

Now I sit here with confidence.

Next to Cai Ji was Xue Yi, and on the other side of Xue Yi was a strange beauty.

This beauty is very pretty and speaks very sweetly. She walks like a willow swaying in the wind, her eyes are full of affection, and her every smile and frown reveal her charm.

Before Cai Ji gave the gift, she was the focus of the whole audience.

The reason why this beauty also sat at the main table was because her name was Zhen Yourong—Xue Yi’s sixth senior sister and one of the direct disciples of Feng Siming, the big boss of Tongtian City.

Zhen Yourong came to Nanshan Town this time, firstly, to celebrate Madam Xue's birthday on the orders of her master, and secondly, to reach a deal with her junior sister to help her forge a weapon.

Seeing Cai Ji sitting down, she asked with great interest, "Manager Cai, what treasure did you give to Madam?"

The tone of voice is so gentle and pleasant that it makes one's ears soften.

Cai Ji knew Zhen Yourong's identity, as Xue Yi had just introduced her to him.

He was about to open his mouth to fool the other party, but Xue Yi on the side spoke first.

"Why do you have so many questions?" Xue Yi had no respect for her senior sister. She glanced at her and said with a straight face, "What gift he gave me has nothing to do with you?"

The words were very unpleasant to hear, probably he had a grudge against me.

That's not at all the attitude one should have when asking for something from others.

"I'm just asking! You're so stingy!" Zhen Yourong said angrily, "I came all the way here to help you, why don't you know how to be grateful?"

"Let's put things in perspective! I'm asking you for help, and I'm going to get something in return!" Xue Yi continued to look stern, and said in a muffled voice: "I'm warning you, this is my home, you are not allowed to cause trouble!"

"How could I, such a good person, cause trouble?" Zhen Yourong said angrily, looking at Cai Ji with grievance: "Manager Cai, don't you think so?"

"Ah?" Cai Ji shuddered and was about to say "yes, yes, yes", but when he looked up and saw Xue Yi's murderous gaze, he quickly changed his words and said, "I don't have the final say!"

Phew!

Seeing him being indecisive, Zhen Yourong couldn't help but chuckle with her hands covering her mouth.

Just as she was about to continue 'making trouble', the emcee not far away interrupted her.

"Mr. Jia Anjia from Nanshan Town sent me a painting..."

With the master of ceremonies singing, the birthday celebration session of the banquet officially began.

"I wish Madam endless blessings and longevity!"

Mr. Jia, whom Cai Ji was familiar with, came to Mrs. Xue holding a painting. After saying his congratulations, he handed the painting to the servant next to him and turned back to his seat.

According to the rules, gifts from ordinary people are directly stored in the warehouse and are not eligible to be included in the list of gifts, unless the gift is some eye-catching treasure.

Ordinary people who came to give gifts also sat in the yard outside to eat.

Only guests who have reached a certain status can be seated in the main hall of the banquet, and the gifts they bring are eligible to be included in the gift list and called out in public by the master of ceremonies.

In addition, the singing ceremony starts with the person with the lowest status, and the person with the highest status is left to perform last.

The singing ceremony is also the climax of the birthday banquet.

However, with the "nectar" that Cai Ji just presented, this process lost its former glory.

Even when Zhen Yourong, who came to celebrate the birthday on behalf of Feng Siming, appeared and presented a gift from Lord Siming, it only caused a small commotion.

As for the several young talents specially sent by the Yao family, no one seemed to pay attention to them.

After the gift presentation, Mrs. Xue made a few speeches, and then chatted with Cai Ji and others at the main table for a while. Then, she and Mr. Xue left early on the grounds of being tired, and went back to their rooms to rest.

Of course, being tired is just an excuse.

Madam is radiant now!

The reason for leaving early was that the master could no longer hold back.

……

Over the next two days, there were many more visitors to the Plum Garden.

What Cai Ji has to do every day is to receive guests.

The first people to visit were several young talents sent by the Yao family.

Since you can be called a talented person, the ability to judge the situation is a necessary skill.

Unlike those brainless villains who just bang their heads against walls.

You will never die unless you hit your head in a hole.

The young masters of the Yao family came here with a mission, mainly to try to see if they could find an opportunity to win the heart of Miss Xue Yi, so as to strengthen the relationship between the Xue and Yao families.

But they knew very well that with Xue Yi's talent and background, the chance of this happening was slim.

The highest cultivation level among us brothers is only at the eighth level.

As for the background of the master, there is no comparison.

Want to catch the eye of cousin Xue?

Ha ha!

Several young masters of the Yao clan unexpectedly saw Cai Ji sitting next to Xue Yi at the birthday banquet, and the two seemed to be quite close, so they immediately asked their men to find out more.

It's not difficult to get the news.

For just a few taels of silver, the servants in the Xue Mansion would tell all the news.

My cousin already has a lover!

The mission was declared a failure in advance!

But the responsibility is not mine, I can go back and get it done easily!

After they learned that Cai Ji was the "future brother-in-law" of the Xue family, although they were a little jealous, they were also greatly relieved.

They decided decisively to visit Cai Ji and establish a good relationship with this future cousin-in-law.

Why are you so proactive?

Because they are young talents!

Know what it means to seize the opportunity!

Although we don’t know Cai Ji’s background yet, judging from his performance at the banquet, he is definitely a character with a big background.

Otherwise, how could it be possible to produce the magical 'nectar'?

Not to mention, he sat directly at the main table before he and his cousin even got married.

That is the place where only the core members of the Xue family and top guests are qualified to sit.

If there is no great background.

Why should he?

With the idea of ​​currying favor with someone as early as possible, several young talents decisively paid a visit and presented generous gifts in an effort to become familiar with Cai Ji.

Cai Ji naturally would not refuse the leeks that were delivered to his doorstep.

Relying on the eloquence he acquired as a restaurant owner, he chatted with several young masters so harmoniously that he almost killed a chicken, kowtowed, and burned yellow paper on the spot to become brothers of different surnames.

Why is it almost?

Because it is not necessary.

Why do future cousins ​​and cousins-in-law need to become sworn brothers?

The other distinguished guests who visited the Plum Garden had similar ideas to those of the young masters of the Yao family.

Hold your thigh in advance!

I won’t go into details here.

The key point is Zhen Yourong!

This graceful Sixth Senior Sister would run to the Plum Garden whenever she had time.

When she arrived at the Plum Garden, she moved closer to Cai Ji.

Not only get together, but also tease!

"Manager Cai, where are you from? How many people are there in your family? Are your parents officials?"

"Shopkeeper Cai, how exactly is that immortal wine for maintaining beauty prepared? Please teach me. I can agree to any conditions you have."

"Shopkeeper Cai, the weather is so nice today, let's go shopping together!"

"Manager Cai, my legs are so sore, can you rub them for me?"

Zhen Yourong didn't know what was wrong with her, she clung to Cai Ji like a crazy fan.

Is she really a nymphomaniac?

Of course not!

Not only is he not a flower maniac, but he is also a demon-suppressing guard with a cultivation level as high as the fourth rank!

Zhen Yourong's talent for martial arts is even better than Xue Yi's.

Her cunning is even better than that of the eldest lady!
