Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Everyone was shocked by the sudden change.

But Emperor Ming was seen dressed in casual clothes, traveling in a small carriage, and walking straight in from the main gate. Ning Su was at his side, and behind him were a dozen factory guards.

The marquis's wife was horrified and rushed forward, and the female guests also knelt hastily to pay their respects.

Emperor Ming waved his hand, signaling everyone to stand up.

"Today is a family dinner, so don't be too formal. I was just passing by and wanted to ask for a glass of wine and to celebrate the old man's longevity."

Someone had already run to Fushou Hall to inform Old Lady Ning, and then they saw the old birthday star coming out tremblingly on a crutch.

She was also worried in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face.

"I didn't know the emperor was coming, and I failed to welcome him. I hope you will forgive me."

Emperor Ming looked around, slightly surprised.

"Why don't you go to the main hall to sit down? What are those tables surrounding?"

As soon as Emperor Ming came in, Shen Jingyi felt that her chance had come.

In any novel, these high-ranking figures tend to become the benefactors in the heroine's life. She has always felt that she is talented but not appreciated, and that she is only one opportunity away from rapid success.

When the emperor asked this question, he hurried forward.

"Your Majesty, I organized this banquet, it's called a buffet. It's a buffet, all the food is put together on a platter, it tastes fresh and unique..."

As he said this, he handed over the plate.

Ning Su moved faster than her and suddenly stood in front of her.

"How dare you pass anything before the Holy Chariot?"

Shen Jingyi was startled, but retorted subconsciously.

"How can we serve it without a plate?"

Emperor Ming hesitated.

It’s not that he didn’t want to have fun with the people, but he had been weak since childhood and seldom had meals outside the palace.

Coincidentally, the wife of the Grand Tutor beside him added something at the right time.

"All the food is piled together like this. What's the difference between this and a folding basket?"

Emperor Ming had always been obsessed with mysophobia, and after hearing what she said, he immediately lost his appetite.

"I'm here, so you're bound to feel reserved. It's better not to disturb everyone." He said and was about to leave.

The wife of the Grand Tutor quickly replied, "We are leaving too, so we won't bother the master any more."

Old Lady Ning's face turned visibly ugly. A birthday banquet is all about having many people, which symbolizes good fortune and longevity.

However, before the banquet even started, everyone had left. She had never heard of this in her life.

Emperor Ming was also puzzled. Could it be that weddings and funerals were no longer based on the old customs?

"The banquet hasn't started yet at this hour, why are you all leaving?"

The wife of the Grand Tutor was a princess before she got married. She often went in and out of the palace and was more relaxed in front of the emperor. She smiled when she heard this.

"The Marquis's mansion was very creative and prepared some cold dishes. Look, they are all female relatives..."

The second half of the unspoken sentence speaks for itself.

Ladies and young ladies who live in seclusion in their boudoirs have to rinse fruits and vegetables with warm water all year round. Who would dare to eat cold dishes in the coldest days of winter?

Unfortunately, Emperor Ming did not understand the implied meaning.

"Then just take your seats. Aren't these entertainment programs?"

"The problem is this is the meal."

The Grand Tutor's wife was quick-witted and immediately told the story with exaggeration, and chuckled at the end.

"We have been distributing porridge in the cold wind today, standing for most of the day. We really have no chance to enjoy this new idea."

What he said was true. After standing outside for two hours in the coldest days of winter, who wouldn’t want to have some hot soup and a hot meal?

Madam Zhou knew that Shen Jingyi and Shen Nanqiao did not get along well, and that she would have to rely on the wife of the factory official to act as a matchmaker for her children in the future, so she immediately agreed.

"We have been taught since childhood that we should not talk while eating or sleeping, but eating while strolling with the plate in hand is really unbearable.

The Marquis's wife's face turned pale, but she had to go through with it and save the situation.

"Don't worry, ladies. Let's have the meal inside. The hot dishes will be here soon."

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that for weddings and funerals, banquets have to be arranged in advance, and the dishes have to be prepared on the spot. In all likelihood, the couple will go to a familiar restaurant and order two tables.

These are all mistresses from wealthy families. Who would care about the two tables of food outside?

"Let's go. The birthday gifts have been delivered. It's boring to sit for too long."

Before he finished speaking, they heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

Shen Nanqiao, wearing a scarlet feather cloak with gold-embroidered flowers and a feathery pattern, walked in quickly and saluted Emperor Ming in a very proper manner.

There were still some people in the crowd who had never seen the factory manager's wife, and their eyes lit up at this moment.

The girl is not very old, but her manners are very well-mannered, as if she had been specially trained by the Shangyi Bureau.

"I didn't know the emperor was coming, and I'm sorry for not welcoming you."

Emperor Ming saw Ning Su standing silently by the side and deliberately started to tease him.

"What if I had known this earlier?"

Shen Nanqiao was caught off guard by Emperor Ming's brilliant move, but she reacted quickly and immediately responded.

"Of course, they would burn incense, spread out carpets, and welcome the guests with open shoes."

When Emperor Ming heard this, he immediately laughed.

"Your husband is a quiet man, but I didn't expect that he would marry a wife who is so talkative."

Everyone present was a shrewd person. After just one encounter, they could tell the closeness or distance between the Emperor's words and his intentions.

Shen Nanqiao glanced at Ning Su with a smile.

"My husband is loyal, but he is a man of few words." She turned to look at everyone and said, "I know that you have worked hard to distribute porridge today, all for the people of Daqin. I dare to be the host and prepare a hot pot. Please move over and warm up your bodies to drive away the cold."

This is very beautifully said.

Apart from anything else, the fact that everyone was hungry and cold was enough to make us grasp the situation.

The wives of the Grand Chamberlain and the Grand Tutor's wives were all wondering, was the emperor, who seldom left the palace, here today to celebrate the old lady's birthday?

Not necessarily.

Most likely, he was the one Ning Su invited to carry his wife's sedan chair.

In this way, even the Hongmen Banquet has to give this face.

What's more, they had been standing outside in the freezing cold for most of the day, and when they thought of the steaming pot, they couldn't help but follow it.

Songchangxuan is not a big place, but Shen Nanqiao had already had it properly decorated.

At this time, people were led into the upper room of the main courtyard. The blue bricks underfoot were spotless. There were several large round tables separated by screens, and there was a steaming pot in the middle of each table.

However, this pot was very different from the ones we usually had. The copper pot was shiny and bright, and the inside was made in the shape of Bagua.

The peppers in the red pot are hot and spicy, the mushrooms in the white pot are fragrant and delicious, and the spicy and fragrant taste is mixed with the refreshing taste of Chinese medicine.

"What is this?" The Grand Tutor's wife was puzzled.

"This is a shabu-shabu hotpot, with two flavors in one pot. In case some girls can't eat spicy food, we also prepared a clear soup pot."

The Grand Tutor's wife couldn't help but nod secretly. It was really rare for the mistress of the house to be so meticulous.

Shen Jingyi, who followed everyone in, was shocked. She had only heard that she was going to prepare a pot, so she thought it was an ordinary one.

This double-flavored pot has clearly never appeared in Daqin before, how could Shen Nanqiao know about it?

While she was stunned, everyone had already taken their seats.

The maids brought cabbage and tofu, beef and mutton slices, gluten meatballs, tripe and kidney slices, red, yellow, green and white, all kinds of things on the table, which looked extremely rich.

Then comes the prepared dry sauce, which contains sesame paste, crushed peanuts and chili powder.

There is also a sesame oil-based oil dip with minced garlic, coriander, and even red and fragrant fermented bean curd juice, the aroma of which overbearingly invades the nose.

Shen Nanqiao introduced them one by one, and the more Shen Jingyi listened, the colder her back felt.

These were clearly things that only existed in her era, and they were the magic weapons she had prepared to make a big splash after her marriage.

Shen Nanqiao glanced at her face and curved the corners of his lips calmly.

"I also learned a few medicinal pastries from ancient books. They are very nourishing and skin-beautifying. Please try them."

Immediately, a maid brought a steaming hot towel and hot tea.

Then there were baskets of steamed food pushed in on small carts.

After opening it, you will find goose stuffing rolls, chestnut cakes, puff pastry buns, and diamond-shaped dumplings, all of which are exquisite and small, making people salivate at the sight of them.

The ladies washed their hands and asked their personal maids to pick out the cakes and pastries that they liked.

As soon as you take a sip, you will feel that it is neither sweet nor greasy, and the fragrance fills your cheeks.

"It's really delicious." Madam Zhou praised and picked up a piece of goose stuffing roll, "This tastes different from the home-cooked one."

Shen Nanqiao followed suit with a smile.

"I added some yam powder and poria powder. Children can eat it too. It's good for the spleen and stomach."

Everyone has children at home, so when they heard this, they started talking and all of them talked about how to raise children.

The scene quickly became extremely lively.

Seeing that everything was arranged properly, Shen Nanqiao withdrew from the hall. In such occasions, one should just stop when entertaining.

Besides, she has a backup plan.

After leaving the hall, Shen Nanqiao deliberately slowed down his pace.

Sure enough, I heard someone following me from behind.

When I reached the corridor, I heard the man's shrill voice.

"Stop! How do you know those things?!"
