The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 258: Dinner in the Qin Family Courtyard

The Qin family made fifteen dishes, including chicken stewed with mushrooms, chicken with hot peppers, mouth-watering chicken, white wine duck, duck with young ginger, roast goose, braised meat platter, twice-cooked pork, stir-fried bacon with green peppers, cured pig's trotters stewed with soybeans, cold vegetable vines, cold shredded radish, cold cucumbers, Chinese cabbage and tofu soup, and stir-fried Chinese cabbage.

There are all kinds of meat and vegetables, stewed, stir-fried, braised and cold dishes.

The two Qin brothers set up tables, chairs and benches, and even borrowed benches from their neighbors.

In the Shen family's courtyard, Shen Jiarou, Nanny Wang, Ruan Qingling, Zhen Luosang, Zhang Zirou, Zheng Shutong, Village Chief Qin, Grandpa Sun, and Grandma Wang were sitting in the main room chatting.

Village Chief Qin asked with a little fear: "How long will the princess stay this time?"

Shen Jiarou picked up the lotus leaf tea and sipped it gently: "To be determined, it depends on the situation."

Village chief Qin nodded slightly. The princess had a lot of things to do and might not stay in Huaishu Village for a long time. She would probably stay in the town and the county for some time.

Qin Dalang's third son, Qin Zhiyong, ran over and said, "Grandpa, Dad asked me to call you guys to eat."

When Village Chief Qin heard this, he looked at Shen Jiarou.

"Girl Yiyi, have dinner."

Shen Jiarou smiled and said, "Okay, Madam, let's go."

The huge team walked towards the Qin family's courtyard. When Aunt Zheng saw the little girl, she was stunned for a long time.

"Mother, what are you doing? Come and entertain them." Is he stupid?

Aunt Zheng suddenly came back to her senses, looking a little anxious.

"Princess, I'm sorry. I lost my composure."

Shen Jiarou walked over and held her hand: "Aunt, it's okay, you can just call me Yiyi."

When called princess, they all become reserved.

Aunt Zheng glanced at her man, and Village Chief Qin nodded slightly.

"Listen to what Miss Yi Yi says." He understood that Miss Yi Yi was afraid that everyone would be restrained and nervous.

At the main table were Shen Jiarou, Nanny Wang, Doctor Wang, Village Chief Qin, Aunt Zheng, and the three Qin brothers.

The others sat separately by gender, and it took five tables to accommodate everyone.

The yard was filled with heads of people.

In the main room, Qin Dalang lit three kerosene lamps to illuminate the entire house.

Nanny Wang took the princess's bowl and filled it with a bowl of steaming mushroom chicken soup.

"Girl, come and have some soup." When you are out, it is more appropriate and convenient to call her girl.

"Thank you, mama."

When Aunt Zheng saw her thanking her nanny obediently, she sighed that the girl was so polite.

"Yiyi girl, remember to drink slowly, the soup should still be hot."

Shen Jiarou smiled and said, "I understand, aunt."

Seeing how happy she was drinking, everyone also bravely picked up some food to eat.

"Come, girl Yi Yi, try the twice-cooked pork your sister-in-law cooked."

"Hmm, delicious." The little girl smiled with her eyebrows curved, which made everyone's appetite increase.

Sun Xiaoli, who was praised at the next table, lowered her head shyly, which was rare.

"Since my sister likes it, she can eat more."

"Okay, sister-in-law, you can eat too. You've worked hard today. Eat a pig's trotter."

Sun Xiaoli was flattered: "Hey, thank you, sister Yi Yi."

This girl is a princess, but she doesn't put on airs and is still very approachable. Look how happily she eats.

Village head Qin, Aunt Zheng and Qin Dalang were all very pleased and felt the same way. They were also proud to see their daughter-in-law being praised.

There were exactly ten people at Ruan Qingling's table, including six maids and four guards.

"Qingling, try the pig's trotters, they are delicious."

Elemental Frost sneered: "Unmarried people cannot eat pig's trotters."

Zhen Luosang looked at her in astonishment: "Ah? Is there such a saying?"

How could she not know?

Ruan Qingling was also stunned: "Then we are at home, aren't we..."

Wu Yueer, who was sitting at the next table, smiled when she heard this.

"Haha, girl, it's okay. You've already eaten it, so you don't mind having one more piece." This statement is actually very common in the countryside, but it is hard to say whether it has any basis.

Zhen Luosang snickered: "If you want to get married, you can eat it too."

Zhang Zirou and Zheng Shutong looked at each other, then shrugged and continued eating.

When delicious food is in front of you, you don’t have to be so particular about it. What matters most is that you have enough to eat.

Ruan Qingling picked up the pig's trotter, took a bite, chewed it and swallowed it: "I will not marry, and I will serve you for the rest of my life."

Zhen Luosang smiled awkwardly and quickly put a piece of mouth-watering chicken into her bowl.

"Come on, have some chicken, and life will be more interesting."

Ruan Qingling picked up the mouth-watering chicken and took a big bite. Zhen Luosang felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.

Doctor Wang found the bickering among the young girls quite amusing.

Grandma Wang smiled as she watched the girls chattering away, and picked up a large chicken foot from the table for her granddaughter.

"Ya'er, come and nibble on the chicken feet." This girl likes to nibble on them.

"Thank you grandma."

Shen Jiarou was gnawing on a big chicken leg and was enjoying the meal so much that she didn't want to stop.

"Girl, can you eat?"

Shen Jiarou shook her head: "No, I can only finish this big chicken leg."

Everyone laughed.

Village Chief Qin came out with a jar of wine: "Come on, brothers, let's drink together?"

Doctor Wang was startled and looked at his master.

"It's okay, you won't get drunk if you drink one or two."

Doctor Wang bowed and said, "Yes, young lady."

After a glass of wine, the men started to talk more.

By the third glass of wine, everyone had started to treat each other like brothers.

It was the first time that Nanny Wang saw Doctor Wang being so talkative, and she couldn't help laughing.

"Miss, please see Doctor Wang."

"It's okay, let them drink happily."

After dinner, everyone went to the courtyard to enjoy the cool air.

Ruan Qingling and Zhen Luosang each held a round fan and fanned their girls.

"Girl, is the wind okay?"

Shen Jiarou pursed her lips and said, "Yes."

The Qin family has a large population, and Shen Jiarou, who was busy making a living before, had never met all of them.

Although Village Chief Qin had drunk a few glasses, he was completely sober.

"Girl Yi Yi, let me introduce you to Uncle Qin's family."

"This is my eldest son Qin Dalang, who is at the same table with us. That is my eldest daughter-in-law Sun Xiaoli, for whom you just served food.

This little girl who is about your age is my eldest granddaughter, the eldest daughter of the old family, Qin Zhijing, and her name was given by her mother. "

Shen Jiarou listened quietly to Village Chief Qin's introduction.

"Come, Zhijing, meet your aunt."

The pretty girl looked at the girl who looked about the same age as herself and called out to her sweetly.

"Hello, auntie."

"What a nice scene. Sister Qingling, please take out the copper coins." When meeting formally, a gift is still required.

Although there is no gift, just give money.

Village Chief Qin immediately stopped her: "Girl, don't spend money. We are just children. We don't need to pay."

This girl is so polite.

Shen Jiarou shook her head: "Since it is a formal meeting, I should prepare a gift. Since I don't have this gift, I can only give money. I hope my nephews and nieces don't mind it."

Under Shen Jiarou's insistence, Village Chief Qin finally agreed.

Qin Zhijing's hand suddenly felt heavy, and a hundred coins were lying on it.

"Thank you...thank you, aunt." One hundred coins can buy a lot of things.

Qin Dalang and his wife were both shocked.

Next is Qin Dalang’s seven-year-old second son Qin Zhifan.

"Thank you, aunt." Oh my god, it's the first time he gets so much money, I wonder if he won't be able to sleep at night.

The third one is Qin Zhiyong: "He is a naughty boy, jumping up and down like a monkey."
