Chapter 2: Family Banquet!

  Qing Luan saw her as if she was facing a great enemy, and smiled: "Permit's elder brother's relatives, even if they are to be treated well, don't have to be like this! When the Magistrate came before, I didn't see Miss being so nervous. Those two people aren't stingy, especially Permit's elder sister, who speaks very harmoniously."

  Cai Feng tapped her head and said, "Little girl, what do you know? Don't look at the prefect's big attitude, he also has a request for us when he comes to paint. Now these two people have come, although they are with...

  "But we're the ones who need something from them. How can it be the same!"

  "What are we asking of them?"

  Cai Feng looked at herself in the mirror again and said, "You won't understand even if I tell you!" It's not just for Xu Xian, but also for herself. She is very satisfied with her current life, and she has made up her mind to stay with Xu Xian.

  Lying down, all hidden dangers that will harm this life must be extra careful.

  Cai Feng walked into the main hall and greeted, "Yun Yan has seen sister and brother-in-law!" She deliberately hid her former stage name and used her real name instead.

  Xu Jiaorong had been waiting impatiently, and as soon as she saw Cai Feng's radiant face, she felt satisfied. She pulled Cai Feng's hand and said: "Let me take a closer look, our family Hanwen is really lucky, I've never seen such a beautiful woman in my life!"

  Cai Feng naturally did her best to win over Xu Xian's only relative, but the difference in their identities was just too great. Cai Feng usually socialized with high-ranking officials and nobles, speaking in a refined and elegant manner that was beyond the understanding of ordinary people.

  Although they tried their best to make conversation, they couldn't find many common topics to talk about.

  At this point, she is no match for Pan Yu's ease and comfort, after all, as a man, Pan Yu has more contact with the three teachings and nine streams.

  Fortunately, Xu Jiaorong, although having the intention of replacing Xu Xian, is not a harsh person, and they get along with each other quite harmoniously. Li Gongfu speaks bluntly, but he is also one of the most upright people in the world.

  It also let Cai Feng breathe a sigh of relief.

  At noon, Xu Jiaorong said: "Where is the kitchen at home? Let's go and cook some dishes to wait for Han Wen's return!"

  Cai Feng was secretly miserable, she was originally a young lady from a wealthy family, spoiled at home. She also thought that relying on her family's power, marrying into any family would only mean being supported, and who would go so far as to force her to learn cooking skills.

  Later, she became a courtesan and was still fed and clothed by others. Even after marrying Xu Xian, it was still Xu Xian who cooked for her. What dishes could she possibly know how to make? She felt anxious in her heart: just as they were about to pass this test, another disaster struck.

  She just smiled and said: "How dare I trouble sister, husband will scold me when he comes back,"

  Sister sat for a moment, Yun Yan immediately went to prepare! But in her mind, she was quickly thinking of an idea.

  Xu Jiaorong smiled and said, "He dares to scold you, I won't let him off first. But it's also good, today we'll just taste your craftsmanship!" Now she is a guest, and it was just an offhand remark.

  Of course it's also a test, but there's no intention of making things difficult for her. She never thought that Cai Feng couldn't even cook rice.

  Cai Feng entered the back hall, Qing Luan grabbed her and asked urgently: "Miss, how can you cook?"

  Cai Feng was in a hurry and asked for help from all directions, but instead grabbed Qing Luan's hand and said: "This time, sister is relying on you!" If Xian's sister knew that not only could she not cook, but also let Xian cook for herself, then

  It's also because these days have been too comfortable, and it's time for some hardship.

  "Watch me! I haven't cooked before, but I've watched Father and Big Brother Xu cook many times!"

  Finally, after Qing Luan's third dish was burnt, Cai Feng became desperate. She could only say: "You'd better sneak out and buy some back!" Although it might be discovered, she couldn't care about that anymore.

  Qing Luan cried with a sad face: "I didn't think cooking was so hard!" Wiping away the tears on her smudged face, she promised again: "I'll be back as soon as possible!"

  Finally, when she came back, she saw Cai Feng being scolded in the hall!

  Xu Jiaorong had just thought of going to the kitchen to get a hand, only to see Cai Feng squatting by the stove in a daze. After asking her slightly, Cai Feng couldn't deny it and could only tell the truth.

  It's not like modern women can't cook, it's a matter of course. It's unacceptable that women nowadays can't even cook.

  Xu Jiaorong's good temper finally couldn't hold up, and she said: "My brother may not have any great prospects, but at least he's a scholar. You're making him cook for you in the kitchen all day, can you really stomach that?" In the past, when they were still poor, Xu Xian would be chased out of the kitchen whenever he tried to help. Now that he was married, it was absurd that he should be cooking for his wife instead.

  Cai Feng murmured: "I..." ...but ultimately had no choice but to acquiesce.

  Xu Jiaorong's anger was hard to calm down, she said: "No matter what identity you used to be, I'm not a good person to calculate. Since entering the door, I've told you that it's not impossible for you to say something wrong. Now that you've entered my Xu family's door, you're not as casual as you were at first. If you think my brother is easy to bully or has suffered any grievances with him, just go back to your boat!"

  No matter how famous Cai Feng was on the painting boat, whether it was Huakui or something else. Once married, she could only be a stain. Xu Jiaorong had some intention in her heart, but deliberately didn't mention it, which also counted as giving Cai Feng face. Now that she knew Cai Feng had deceived her own brother, taking this as the unchanging custom of the brothel, these unpleasant feelings burst out doubled.

  Cai Feng immediately knelt on the ground, crying silently. She also knew that today's events were not her fault, and if it were someone else, they might have said even harsher words.

  Xu Jiaorong saw Cai Feng like this

  After all, she softened a bit and calmed down her anger: "Don't mind if sister's words are unpleasant. It's okay to let family members know, but if others find out, it will be a blow to Han Wen's reputation. Get up!"

  Peacock's tearful eyes lifted hazily, and Xu Jiaorong, as a woman, felt that "I see you are especially"

  "Poor thing," he thought to himself, "no wonder she's infatuated with Chinese characters, and I'm stuck cooking for her every day."

  She didn't know that this wasn't just Xu Xian's hobby, but also the modern way of thinking doesn't have the concept of "a gentleman keeps a distance from the kitchen", and doesn't think it's shameful to cook for women.

  Cai Feng slowly got up, and Xu Jiaorong was about to go down to the kitchen, teaching her how to cook hand in hand. Qing Luan walked in with a food box, carefully asking, "What should we do with these dishes?" If someone had treated Cai Feng like this on an ordinary day, she would have rushed out long ago, but today she could only hide aside and worry for Cai Feng.

  Xu Jiaorong walked over and took a look, immediately turning to Cai Feng, who had no choice but to lower her head even further.

  Dark driving: Dead girl, which pot doesn't open, take out which pot!

  Just wait for another big blow.

  Xu Jiaorong just sighed and didn't say much, after all, they still had to live their lives together.

  The wine and dishes were all set out, but Xu Xian did not return for a long time.

  The dishes had been warmed up twice before Xu Xian returned.

  Several people sat down at the table, and Xu Xian peeled off a piece of rice while listening to his sister's nagging. He glanced at Cai Feng and saw her hesitant appearance, and couldn't help but laugh. This matter was all about different ideas, but it was hard to say who was right or wrong. All he could do was try to mediate: "Sister, Yun Yan was originally a talented young woman from a good family, and later on she was also forced by circumstances. I've been teaching her how to cook these past few days, why did you come over here and scold her?"

  "I'm doing this for your own good! The man should be in charge outside, the woman in charge inside, that's how a household should be run. Otherwise, what kind of state would it be in?" If not for seeing that her younger brother was already grown up...

  He must be dragged by his ears.

  Xu Xian could only repeatedly respond with a "yes", but the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden. After finally sending off his sister and brother-in-law, facing the messy table, he was about to start cleaning up. Normally this would be his and Qing Luan's job, Cai Feng just wiped her mouth and ran back to her room.

  Today, however, Cai Feng came over with a tray, and Xu Xian saw her pitiful appearance, and finally couldn't help but burst out laughing. He felt that this evil old society wasn't all bad after all.

  Cai Feng glared at him, but was completely at a loss for what to do with him.

  Xu Xian smiled and said: "My sister is just like this, don't take it to heart!"

  Cai Feng sighed, "Sister is kind-hearted, I understand!" With my temper, probably no one else in the world can tolerate me except for you! Maybe it's time to fulfill some of a wife's duties.

  "You, just call me Yun Yan from now on!"

  Xu Xian smiled and said: "Alright, this name is more elegant!"

  Qing Luan hurriedly said: "I also want to change to a more elegant name!"

  "Sir is speaking, children shouldn't interrupt!"

  The green phoenix gazed at them with a suspicious look in its eyes.

  The night was dark and murky, waiting for dinner time. In the kitchen, Qing Luan helped Xu Xian with his hands, Yun Yan

  Also have to learn some cooking skills.

  Xu Xian said: "You don't have to be so hard on yourself."

  Yun Yan said: "Sister, come again, I really can't kneel down and cry another scene!"

  Xu Xian sighed: "The book was wrong, and now it's come to this!"

  Yun Yan said seriously: "I'm really glad to have met you now, thank you for always protecting me. Please give me some more time, I will try my best to be a good wife!"

  Xu Xian smiled and said: "Some things can't be done just by working hard, and I didn't want you to work hard either. Just follow your own nature!"

  Yun Yan looked at Xu Xian's face and suddenly said in disappointment: "Actually, you don't like me either, that's why you're not paying attention!" She originally thought she could grasp the hearts of all men, but first encountered Pan Yu, and then met Xu Xian.

  Pan Yu's heart was unpredictable and changed suddenly, making it difficult for her to gauge. And Xu Xian's heart,

  She originally thought it was within her grasp, but in fact it was just as elusive. His gentleness towards her was merely a result of his personality, and had nothing to do with her herself.

  Xu Xian was taken aback at first, then smiled and said: "Why must we necessarily discuss this? Alright, let's just cook instead. Otherwise, next time my sister comes, she'll scold you again!"

  There is no such thing as unprovoked love in this world, and the more beautiful a woman is, the more she thinks everyone loves her, but doesn't understand the principle of "when beauty fades, love wanes". That kind of love is also love, but what's the difference between loving wealth and material possessions? It's just that people are always confused about the boundaries between them, and give rise to resentment, indignation, and sighs, when in fact it's completely unnecessary.

  Yun Yan was clever and suddenly thought of breaking through this principle, and she understood. He indeed loved her beauty.

  But that's all. That heart is closer to Qing Luan, but for her, it's just a responsibility. He wants him to give himself time, but it's just boring self-importance. Because he has never expected anything from her either.

  Xu Xian was thinking about another matter, and wanted to seriously compile that book "Ben Cao Gang Mu".

  Maybe I should go learn medicine too!

  I took an overnight train last night and came to the company to deal with a lot of things. My head is still spinning now.

  Dizzy! That's all for today, but I hope to recover and update twice in the future. I'll try to write more to repay everyone's support!
