Chapter 302: Cooking Soup
When Old Lady Yang heard Sanmao say that she secretly drank wine, she immediately went to him and patted him on the head, "You little bastard, how could I drink secretly? Your sister gave it to me, and each time I only had two small cups. She wouldn't give me any more. And your sister didn't drink it. She said she was too young to drink. She was very well behaved. You little bastards, you guys are all looking for your sister's hidden wine."
When Sanmao saw her grandmother's state, she clasped her hands together and kept bowing, begging for mercy: "Grandma, grandma! It's all my fault. I was just being rude and said the wrong thing! You never drank secretly at all. It was all my nonsense! Please forgive me this time!"
Seeing Sanmao's funny appearance, everyone couldn't hold back their laughter any longer and burst into laughter. The laughter was like a wave sweeping the whole room. The young men holding the gift boxes in their hands tried hard to hold back their laughter. Their faces turned red and their bodies trembled slightly. After all, they didn't dare to laugh in front of the emperor and old lady Yang.
At this time, the emperor looked up at the gradually brightening sky outside the window and slowly said, "Well, it's getting late, and we should all go back. We can come and get together again when we are free in the future. Old lady, I have to tell you the truth, your house is really a little small."
Look, today there are so many people here that I can hardly turn around. And this is the case without bringing a few extra maids and servants. If I follow the rules and bring everyone here, I'm afraid there won't even be a place to stand.
"I do have several larger houses. When you are free, go take a look and move into the one you like. Then we can come and listen to books in a more comfortable and spacious place."
When Old Lady Yang heard this, she waved her hands vigorously and said, "Oh my god, no, no! We can't live in your house. My Sanmao has already gone out to look at houses. If there is one that we like, we will buy it ourselves. Although our family is not rich, we still have enough money to buy another house in the capital, so don't worry about that!"
Old Mrs. Yang is very proud. Their family is now very wealthy and is definitely ranked first in the village. She doesn't know if they can rank first in the town. Alas, after buying a new house, Sanmao has to work hard to earn money. Otherwise, Xiaocao will get married in a few years, what will she do if the dowry is not big enough?
"Well, if you need any help, just go find Xingyun. He will take care of everything." After the emperor said this, he turned around, took the queen mother's hand, and slowly walked forward. Seeing this, the others followed closely behind.
Old Lady Yang led Sanmao and Xiaocao'er to see the group of people off to the door, and watched them get on the carriage. At this moment, Qi Xingyun walked quickly to Old Lady Yang and said softly, "Grandma, I plan to escort my brother and sister-in-law home first. You see, they both drank a lot of wine, and I'm really worried about them."
Old Lady Yang nodded in agreement and said, "Well, that's great. Go quickly. They've drunk quite a bit of wine. When you get home, remember to cook some hangover soup for them to drink. Maybe that will make them feel better."
Qi Xingyun smiled and responded, "Okay, grandma, I'll take note. You and Xiaocao'er should go into the house quickly. It's getting late, so you should rest early. I'll come to visit you tomorrow."
"Okay, Brother Xingyun, you have been drinking, so you must be more careful. Ride slowly on the road." Xiao Cao'er looked at Qi Xingyun with concern and reminded him softly.
Qi Xingyun felt warm in his heart and said softly, "Don't worry, Xiaocao'er, please help grandma go in. It's windy outside and cold at night. Don't catch a cold." After that, Qi Xingyun jumped on the horse, waved the whip, and galloped in the direction where his brother and sister-in-law left.
After seeing off all the guests, Old Lady Yang took a group of young men to clean up the house. Some of them loaded the tables and chairs of the teahouse onto a horse-drawn carriage and sent them back to the teahouse, while the rest of them began to clean the house, and it was not until dinner time that everything was tidy.
Xiao Caoer said to Old Lady Yang, "Grandma, you go back and rest for a while. I'll go make some simple food for us to eat. We're all tired today, so we should go to bed early."
Just as he finished speaking, the doorman came to report that Jixiang Restaurant had sent someone to deliver something.
The man who came was the owner of the Jixiang Restaurant, followed by two people, each holding a large food box. When he saw Old Lady Yang, he bowed and said, "Old Lady, Miss Yang, my master sent me to bring you some food. He said that everyone is tired today, so there is no need to prepare dinner. Old Lady, please see if the food is to your liking. If not, I will have someone prepare it again and send it over."
"Who is your master? Do I know him?" asked Old Lady Yang.
