Chapter 193 Recognition Banquet 2
"Oh, by the way, I heard from my mother that we'll have a banquet at home on the ninth day of the lunar year to formally introduce you to everyone!"
When Xue Luo mentioned her mother's plan, the three sisters felt a little uneasy for a moment.
The three of them looked at each other, feeling a little scared in such a situation.
"You don't have to be afraid. They are all friendly people with us."
Xue Shu saw that the three of them looked timid and comforted them.
Besides, Zhou held this banquet for the three of them. If you think about it a little, you can appreciate the deep meaning.
"Thank you, Brother Xue, for your reassurance. I've never been to a high-ranking family banquet before, so I was a little nervous for a moment."
Qingzhu smiled at Xue Shu.
"What do you mean by high-class or not? Second sister, you are wrong. They are all relatives and friends of the family."
"Yes, brother is right."
Xue Shu was about to speak when he heard a few people come in from outside. He said with a smile, "It's really lively here!"
Everyone looked up to see who they were. It turned out to be Xu Jingyan and Xu Jingyue, brother and sister, followed by a girl they didn't recognize.
Qingke and his men welcomed the guests in and took them to their seats.
"Who is this sister?"
Qingzhu pointed at the girl who followed in and asked.
Xu Jingyue introduced her to everyone with a smile, "She is the eldest daughter of Shopkeeper Xu of Shiwei Pavilion, Xu Baoru. She is here to congratulate you today."
Xu Baoru stood up and greeted everyone present.
Qing Ning looked at her and felt happy.
Her face is like a silver plate, her eyes are like almonds, she is slightly plump, and when she smiles, she has a pair of dimples on both sides, which is very cute.
There were many people in the house, and Qingke was worried that the girls would not be able to adapt, so she suggested taking them to her room to sit for a while.
"Brother Qingsong, why don't you take us for a walk in the village and leave this place for these children to play."
Xue Shu was actually feeling a bit bored as there were many people in the room and the children were making noises.
"Okay, let's go. Put on your clothes, it's cold outside."
"Qingbai, Qingyu, the two of you stay and take care of them."
Qingsong turned around and told his two youngest brothers to stay and play with the children.
There are quite a lot of children here today, and they always need someone to accompany them. Otherwise, they will run around and get into trouble or bump into things, which is really annoying.
"Jiang Yi seems to be much more cheerful today."
Passing by the front yard, I saw Jiang Yi helping out and dealing with people very well.
Qing Wu glanced back, then smiled and nodded, "I think he must have come out of it. He has become a bit more youthful these days."
"That's good. I'm just worried that he'll get stuck in there and get hurt."
Thinking of the disaster, everyone fell silent for a moment.
"Okay, okay, stop thinking about it. Today is a good day. Let's go to the master's place and join in the fun."
A few people put aside their sorrows and went to their elders.
At that time, the atmosphere in the corridor was a little subtle. Several people surrounded Mr. Zhang and Chen Lin, talking about something.
A few people went in and greeted each other, then stood aside without saying a word, just watching quietly.
"What's wrong with me? My sister is like a mother to me, she raised me single-handedly. How much hardship has she endured? She's never had a single day of peace, and now she's finally back. What's wrong with me taking care of her?"
This is Chen Lin's voice.
"What do you mean by never having a good day? Even though we live a hard life, I still respect and love her."
This was Mr. Zhang's rebuttal.
"Is this good? If she were good, how could she be so sick? And how did you take care of her?"
"You are so unreasonable~"
Mr. Zhang was choked by Chen Lin's words and was unable to breathe.
"Brother Chen Lin, your words are too harsh. Mr. Zhang's family has been in constant turmoil, which is not what he wants. It is not surprising that he does not love Madam Zhong."
Old Master Yu hurriedly tried to persuade him.
Chen Lin reacted and realized that he had spoken out of turn, but he had said something a little too harsh after all the talk.
The two of them turned away from each other, neither speaking.
It’s not right to persuade with a group of people, and it’s not right not to persuade at all.
"Please take your seats, guests!"
The loud singing came just in time to ease the awkwardness.
Everyone pushed the two of them up to the hall and told them to have a good meal and drink today.
There were many people, so men and women sat at separate tables. Chen Lin and Mr. Zhang were arranged to sit together.
But no matter how they looked at each other, they felt awkward.
After hearing the letter, Old Lady Chen came in and pulled Chen Lin aside.
"I'm telling you, today is a happy occasion and you mustn't make a fool of yourself. Mr. Zhang saved my life and we're husband and wife, and the bond between us is no less profound than yours."
"You are such an adult, you can't just take care of your own affairs and forget to be grateful. Take the initiative to apologize to the gentleman later. He is not only a benefactor and a gentleman, he is also your brother-in-law."
Old Mrs. Chen looked serious and looked straight at Chen Lin.
Chen Lin also knew that what he said today was too much and that was not his original intention.
He just thought that he had missed out on his elder sister for decades, and now that he had finally found her, he wanted to do his best to make up for it.
"I understand, sister-in-law! That's not what I meant. I'm really grateful to him. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid I would never see you again in this life."
"But he dislikes me taking care of my sister every day, which makes me feel uncomfortable. Is it wrong for me to take care of my own sister?"
Old Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes speechlessly, "You're right to take care of me, but don't you think about how you take care of me?"
"You wait at their door before dawn every day, serving them all day long. Even their husbands and grandchildren are not allowed to get close to them. Do you think this is appropriate?"
Chen Lin knew he was in the wrong, "Yes, sister-in-law, I know I was wrong."
"Alright, I won't say any more. You understand everything. Just don't lose your composure and don't let people down."
"Go, take your seats and greet the guests."
Chen Lin nodded solemnly and turned to take his seat.
As soon as the banquet started, everyone waited for the host to speak.
"Brother-in-law, I apologize for my mistakes. Please drink this glass of wine and forgive my inappropriate behavior these past few days."
Chen Lin admitted his mistake and corrected it, and the first cup he drank was to apologize to Mr. Zhang.
Mr. Zhang was not really angry with him, but was a little annoyed by his troubles these days.
After drinking the wine in the cup, the two of them laughed and put aside their grudges!
"The second cup, Mr. Xie saved my sister's life."
"The third cup, thank you brother-in-law for giving me a home."
After three drinks in a row, the two of them completely opened their hearts to each other.
"You don't need to thank me for these three. It's not that I gave her a home, but that we support each other and that is perfect."
"Oh, today is a happy day. If you keep thanking us like this, we won't be able to drink a single sip of our wine!"
Seeing them thanking him endlessly, Chen Mancang made a joke.
"It's my fault, it's my fault for not hosting you well. Today is a big celebration at home, so please don't be polite and enjoy it."
Suddenly everyone at the table became lively, clinking glasses and chatting with laughter.
At the women's table, Madam Zhang was really happy today and even drank a small cup of wine.
"Madam, please drink less of this wine. When you are well again, we can drink another jar."
Xu Miao Niang was arranged to follow her closely.
Seeing that she had drunk a cup and wanted to pour more, he brought her some fruit tea.
Madam Zhang smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, I'll listen to you."
"Everyone, try this vegetarian duck with lotus leaves. It's a new dish made with lime."
Tan invited everyone to eat the food, "Madam, try it."
"I want to try this new dish made with lime."
"Why is it boneless? It doesn't look like a duck at all."
"Moon Pear? Is this duck? It tastes like duck, but the texture isn't quite right."
Tan asked with a smile, "Aunt, do you think it tastes good?"
"Okay, okay~"
"This is a vegetarian duck. It's called a duck, but it's not a duck."
"How is this made? Let's go back and learn how to make this. When we have no meat, we can eat this."
Tan: "This recipe is not difficult. First, shred carrots, wood ear mushrooms, and shiitake mushrooms and stir-fry them in oil. Then add the seasonings. Wrap them in tofu skin and fry until golden brown. Then, simmer them in a pot with the seasonings for about an incense stick's worth of time."
An old woman nearby was calling out to the Buddha, "It sounds like it's not easy. Look at how much oil it takes! We wouldn't even eat the radish, fungus, and mushrooms even if we had them."
"Yes, so, since we have this delicious food today, we should eat more."
"No."
The atmosphere at the banquet was high, and everyone was happy for the Chen family.
