The unlucky fake daughter was screwed by the rotten system

Chapter 226: Surprises one after another

The banquet venue was decorated extremely exquisitely, with tables and chairs neatly arranged and clearly divided into two areas: men's and women's tables.

After everyone took their seats according to the arrangements, their eyes were almost simultaneously attracted by the dazzling array of delicious food on the table.

Whether at the men's or women's table, everyone's chopsticks involuntarily reached out for the mouth-watering special dishes: crispy-skinned and tender salt-baked chicken, sweet and spicy shrimp, tender and juicy boiled beef, sweet and spicy Kung Pao chicken, crispy on the outside and glutinous on the inside with salted egg yolk baked pumpkin...

Compared to the slightly unrestrained eating habits of the men's table, everyone at the women's table behaved more elegantly and properly at first.

After all, all those present here are ladies of noble status and delicate young ladies. Even if they are extremely eager for these delicious dishes, they have to maintain their image in front of outsiders.

However, this apparent reserve did not last long.

It was soon broken by someone.

Zheng Yuhui, the big eater sitting at one of the tables, originally wanted to give way to the delicate ladies at the same table, but seeing them pretending to be nice one after another, they only carefully picked up a little bit of food and put it into their mouths, chewing slowly, as if eating one more bite would damage their ladylike demeanor.

The delicious dishes in front of her continued to emit bursts of charming fragrance. Finally, Zheng Yuhui could no longer resist the temptation of delicious food.

She first tentatively picked up a piece of salt-baked chicken, put it in her mouth and chewed it quickly, then stretched out her chopsticks to the spicy shrimp without hesitation.

As her movements became faster and faster, her mouth was stuffed full, making a "crunching" sound, and she completely ignored the eyes of the people around her.

In a short while, the food scraps in front of her had piled up into a small mountain. Her eating manners were even more rude than those of the guests at the men's table.

Li Rong, the daughter of Li Yanwei, who was sitting across from her, couldn't stand it any longer and sneered, "Miss Zheng, are you a woman? How can you eat more than a grown man?"

Zheng Yuhui rolled her eyes, looked up at her, and snapped, "Are you blind? Can't you see the two plump, soft buns in front of me? I'm a real beauty!"

After saying this, she even straightened her chest.

Li Rong: “…”

Seeing that Zheng Yuhui was about to finish half of the dishes on the table like a whirlwind, the other ladies finally couldn't sit still anymore.

They were originally trying hard to maintain their image, but now they no longer cared about being reserved and joined in the battle for food.

Seeing this, the ladies and young ladies at other female tables also let go of their reserve and joined the fight for food.

For a moment, the girls' table was bustling with activity, with screams and laughter coming one after another.

Zhao Yunjin originally thought that this toasting session would probably take a lot of time.

After all, according to common sense, many male guests, especially Qi Yize and Qin Zihao, would definitely seize the opportunity to urge him to drink a few more glasses.

However, what he did not expect was that these male guests completely ignored everything else at this moment, lowered their heads and just focused on wolfing down the delicious food in front of them.

They were so absorbed in their eating that they didn't even bother to coax Zhao Yunjin into drinking.

He was only allowed to take a small sip symbolically before being quickly let go.

After all, if there is any delay, these top-notch dishes will be snatched up by others in a flash.

This situation was exactly what Zhao Yunjin wanted.

I was racking my brains trying to find excuses to drink less, but now I don’t have to worry about it at all.

Before we knew it, the sun was setting in the west, like a huge fireball slowly falling towards the mountains.

The distinguished guests had their fill of food and drink and were contentedly finishing the wedding banquet. Just as they were about to return home, they had no idea that an unexpected surprise was waiting for them.

When they walked leisurely to the gate of the mansion, they saw the chief steward of the imperial palace already standing there respectfully, with rows of huge boxes neatly placed beside him.

The head steward's face was filled with a warm and brilliant smile. He shouted at the top of his voice to the crowd, "Dear guests, to thank you all for coming to the Sixth Prince and the Sixth Princess's grand banquet, His Highness and the Princess have specially prepared a generous gift for each family present. As a token of our gratitude."

When everyone heard this, there was an uproar and they all started whispering to each other.

"Oh my! I've attended so many wedding banquets in my life, but this is the first time I've heard that there are gifts when I go to a wedding banquet. It's really unexpected!" Duke Dingguo said in surprise.

The Minister of Personnel's wife echoed, "Yes, it's one surprise after another. I love it. I wonder what's inside this wooden box containing the souvenirs?"

……

For a while, all kinds of speculations and discussions arose one after another, and the scene was very lively.

Standing in the crowd, Jung Woo-hye looked ahead with a smile and asked loudly, "Can you open one of the boxes right here and let us see what these mysterious souvenirs are?"

When Grand Minister of Agriculture Zheng Jintian heard his daughter's rash words, he couldn't help feeling embarrassed and amused.

Ugh!

This girl is not only greedy and good at eating, but also very brave.

Who would dare to open a gift in front of the host?

I'm afraid she is the only one who dares to speak so bluntly.

"I'm sorry, my daughter was really rude just now. Please don't be offended by her, Chief Steward."

The head steward waved his hand magnanimously and replied with a smile, "Master Zheng, you are too kind. Your young lady is innocent and spontaneous, which makes her look very cute."

"Besides, the Sixth Imperial Concubine has already instructed that once these gifts are delivered to you, you can open them anytime you want."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yuhui clapped her hands excitedly and asked impatiently, "Can you give this gift to our Zheng family right now?"

The chief steward nodded and said, "Of course, you can. You only need the signature of the head of your Zheng family to receive it."

Zheng Yuhui quickly reached out and pulled the sleeve of the person next to her, "Father, go sign it quickly."

After receiving the souvenirs, Jung Woo-hye opened the big box quickly and skillfully in front of everyone without saying a word.

The moment the box was fully opened, there was a burst of exclamations from all around.

"Wow! There are so many rare items in here!" Zheng Yuhui couldn't help but scream, her eyes wide open, full of surprise.

A closer look revealed that in addition to more than a dozen packs of delicious snacks, there were also more than a dozen lipsticks of different colors.

In addition, there are two bottles of essential oils with a light fragrance, two lip balms, and two boxes of exquisitely packaged body creams.

Not only that, there are two new dolls in the box. Their cute appearance is so attractive that people can’t put them down.

There are also six small and exquisite doll pendants with fine workmanship and unique shapes.

The distinguished guests present were all surprised when they saw the huge box full of treasures. They couldn't contain their excitement and walked quickly towards the butler with smiles on their faces.

They rushed to line up to sign and receive their own gift.

For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely lively, with laughter and cheers rising one after another.
