Chapter 25: A Birthday Banquet

Shangguan Lian'er stir-fried the braised pork, glanced at Yan Rui who was looking at him with a silly smile, smiled sweetly, and said coquettishly: "Brother Rui, I'm so busy, don't just sit idle and not help me. Busy, go and see if the fern cake is steamed?"

Yan Rui responded, happily went to check on the fern cake, and said, "There is still some heat left." Looking back, he saw the braised pork coming out of the pot, with bright color and strong fragrance. He couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, and said with a smile: "It tastes really good!"

Shangguan Lian'er saw the hot look in Yan Rui's eyes as he looked at the braised pork, and he smiled and said, "Look at how greedy you are. If you want to eat, you can take a bite first!"

Yan Rui smiled and used his fingers to pick up the meat in the bowl.

When Shangguan Lian'er saw it, he tapped the back of Yan Rui's hand with his chopsticks, handed the chopsticks to Yan Rui, and scolded: "Use chopsticks, and others will have to eat!"

Yan Rui smiled sheepishly, put a piece of braised pork into his mouth, chewed and swallowed slowly, returned the chopsticks to Shangguan Lian'er, gave a thumbs up, and praised: "It's soft and sticky, fat but not greasy. delicious!"

Shangguan Lian'er was in a good mood when he was praised, and his face blossomed with joy.

Yan Rui thought for a moment, smiled, and sighed meaningfully: "Lian'er, your cooking skills are getting better and better. Whoever marries you will be really lucky?"

Shangguan Lian'er smiled and said nothing.

Yan Rui paused for a moment, mustered up his courage, and asked softly: "Lian'er, I wonder if I have such a good taste?"

Shangguan Lian'er glanced sideways at Yan Rui, her cheeks warmed slightly, she thought for a moment, smiled slightly, and replied softly with a blushing face: "Brother Rui, happiness is achieved through hard work, you still have to work hard!"

When Yan Rui saw Shangguan Lian'er's answer, although the meaning was not clear enough, it did not reject his intention to pursue her. As long as he worked hard, there was hope. He was elated for a moment and couldn't help being happy. He smiled honestly and nodded heavily, yes. He made a sound, but at that moment, a cold snort came from behind him.

Yan Rui glanced back, only to see Wei Ning standing at the door, with a cold face, frowning, staring at him intently, her eyes seemed to be bursting with fire.

Yan Rui was stunned and said with a smile: "Junior brother Ning, are you hungry?"

Wei Ning glanced at Shangguan Lian'er, who had her hair curled around her temples, and said, "No!" and turned to leave.

Shangguan Lian'er returned

Face came, looked at Wei Ning, smiled brightly, and said briskly: "Brother Ning, it's time to start the banquet. You can help me pass the dishes now!"

Wei Ning's expression immediately softened, he nodded, and hurriedly left the room to lay out the dishes and got busy for a while.

When the food and wine were served, the people in Weimen gathered around, happy and ready to eat.

Wei Qingyuan cut a piece of fern cake for Old Woman Han, poured a glass of sweet wine, and presented a birthday message to Old Woman Han on behalf of everyone.

Old Mrs. Han had a clear mind and sharp eyes and ears. She nodded, glanced around, and asked in a trembling voice: "Where is my little baby Lian'er?" When she saw Shangguan Lian'er changed into clean and bright clothes, she came to Yan Yan's house. Accompanied by Rui, he walked into the hall and hurriedly waved to her and shouted: "Little girl, come to grandma quickly!"

Shangguan Lian'er quickly walked over and stood beside Old Woman Han. With a smile on her face, she leaned into Old Woman Han's ear and shouted crisply: "Madam, Lian'er wishes you good health, good food and a good sleep. May you be as blessed as the East Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains!"

"Okay, okay, okay!!!"

Old Woman Han's face that looked like grapefruit skin bloomed with a smile that was as bright as a chrysanthemum. She held Shangguan Lian'er's palm with both hands, rubbed it gently, nodded her head, and asked in a gentle voice: "Girl, have you been exhausted again today?"

!"

"No!"

Shangguan Lian'er shook his head and said with a smile: "Grandma, Lian'er likes cooking. As long as I do what I like, I won't get tired."

Old Lady Han took a piece of fern cake and fed it to Shangguan Lian'er, and said with a smile: "Girl, eat a piece of grandma's fern cake and soak up the longevity of grandma!"

Shangguan Lian'er opened his mouth to take the fern cake, chewed it and swallowed it, nodded and said with a smile: "It's delicious, thank you, grandma."

Old Mrs. Han nodded and praised: "Girl, what words come out of your mouth are always so pleasing to the ear. Alas! My Lian'er is smart, capable, kind, considerate, and like a fairy. Who would marry me?"

You are such a great blessing!"

Shangguan Lian'er was so praised by Old Lady Han that her face turned pink and she felt a little embarrassed.

Old Lady Han rubbed Shangguan Lian'er's palm and looked at him lovingly. After a pause, she waved to Yan Rui and called out: "Silly boy, come closer. Grandma has something to tell you."

Yan Rui walked up to Old Lady Han with a naive smile.

forward.

Old Woman Han trembled and took out a red handkerchief from her lapel. She opened the handkerchief and took out a jade bracelet. The bracelet was green and translucent, and its color was pure. At a glance, she knew it was a high-quality item.

Old lady Han put the bracelet into Yan Rui's hand and said with a smile: "Silly boy, my grandmother bought this when she was young. She wanted to pass it on to her grandson-in-law, but it's a pity that she doesn't have a marriage relationship, so she can't keep this thing anymore.

What’s the point? I’m going to give it to you, silly boy, today. If you like someone, just give it to her. This can be regarded as making the best use of everything and fulfilling the grandma’s wishes.”

Yan Rui hesitated for a moment, then smiled, then accepted Old Lady Han's bracelet calmly, bowed and thanked her: "Thank you, Grandma!"

Grandma Han Tao glanced at Shangguan Lian'er, and told Yan Rui meaningfully: "Boy Rui, Lian'er is an honest person, and you are also an honest person. You have to be good, you know?"

Yan Rui could naturally hear the implication of what Mrs. Han was saying, so he glanced at Shangguan Lian'er affectionately, nodded heavily, and said yes.

Shangguan Lian'er's cheeks immediately turned crimson, and her expression became shy and twitchy.

After listening to Old Lady Han's instructions to Yan Rui, Wei Ning looked at Shangguan Lian'er's somewhat ambiguous expression. Her heart was shaken, her face turned pale, she glared at Yan Rui hatefully, and she clenched her fists loudly.

Yue Mei'er noticed Wei Ning's abnormal behavior from the side, squeaked, lightly pinched Wei Ning's arm, and scolded Wei Ning in a low voice in his ear: "What are you doing, so many people are watching?"

Even if you are here, you don’t feel embarrassed!”

When Wei Ning was reminded by Yue Mei'er, her expression calmed down and her expression immediately softened. She quickly picked up the wine bowl and pretended to drink to hide it.

When Mengmeng waited for the children to see so many delicious food in front of them, she was already greedy and couldn't bear it anymore. She wanted to eat but her parents wouldn't let her, so she pouted her mouth and cried out to the old lady Han: "Mrs.

, I’m so hungry, let’s eat quickly!”

Old Mrs. Han was stunned for a moment, then waved to Wei Qingyuan and the others, and said with a smile: "Haha! My old lady was only busy nagging and forgot about this matter. Let's start eating!" Then she took a piece.

I stuffed the fern cake into my mouth and started eating first.
