Chapter 177 Feast

As soon as the guard of honor announced the decree left, Ma Su and Liu Pu jumped out, congratulating Fang Xing together.

Others don't know, but these two students are very clear, it's just because Fang Xing's meritorious service is not enough to be conferred a knighthood, so Zhu Di finally told him by Sanguan.

——Young man, work hard, when I die, my son and grandson will use you again!

Fang Xing said angrily, "Hurry up and go to the kitchen to see if there are any good dishes."

Hua Niang, who knew earlier that there was an imperial decree, was instructing Chunsheng to chop vegetables, and she felt that her spatula was already hungry and thirsty.

Seeing Liu Pu and Ma Su coming in, Hua Niang pointed to the pile of raw materials on the chopping board and said, "At noon, order whatever you want, but at night our family has to compare with the imperial banquet!"

Liu Pu gave a thumbs up and praised: "I don't think Hua Niang's skill is even comparable to that of the royal chef!"

Hua Niang held her head up proudly, but she didn't see that Liu Pu had taken the opportunity to take away the two fried potatoes.

"Hua Niang, we will be waiting for your delicious food tonight!"

Liu Pu yelled, and Ma Su hurried away.

After sneaking outside, Ma Su felt that Liu Pu's behavior was a bit inappropriate, and was about to criticize him, but a strong fragrance came from him, making him salivate.

"I don't know what it is, but I ate it last time, and I was shocked! Come on, let's have one for each of us."

The fried potatoes wrapped in five-spice powder and chili noodles were so hot that the two of them couldn't help panting.

"smell good!"

Two fried potatoes have become a delicacy, if Fang Xing knew it, he would probably laugh at himself secretly.

At present, the land supply in Daming is balanced, and some places are even abandoned, so food is not the most scarce material.

"Second son-in-law, the Duke of the State invites you to come to the mansion tomorrow for a gathering."

Xue Huamin came, seeing his happy face, Fang Xing guessed that this guy was praised for his performance during his stay in Jinling.

Zhang Fu actually invited himself to a banquet just one day after arriving home, Fang Xing thought of his two younger brothers, nodded and said: "Okay, I will bring my wife to go with me tomorrow."

Now that we're done talking,

Seeing Fang Xing's calm appearance, Xue Huamin smiled and said, "Some people in the family are worried that my uncle will be a little upset, but now it seems that they are worrying too much."

It is reasonable for Xue Huamin to say that this is a bit over the top, but Fang Xing knows that he is a role like a think tank and a housekeeper that Zhang Fu relies on, so he just smiled and said: "I am a commoner, but I have made some contributions due to good luck. It's been very satisfying."

Yan Yan was talking and laughing here, and in the inner courtyard, Granny Ming also said with a smile: "Second Miss is so lucky, she is also a third-grade lady now."

Zhang Shuhui smiled lightly and said, "It's just the glory my husband earned from fighting on the battlefield. I don't go out much, I'm afraid it's useless."

There are rules and regulations for the third-grade Shu people to go out, so many women want to be granted the title because they are looking forward to these treatments.

Granny Ming smiled reassuringly: "The old lady said that there will be a family banquet tomorrow, and my uncle should agree. Then you and your brother and sister will also be able to meet."

Ever since Zhang Shuhui broke away from her family, she and Zhang Fu have never seen each other again.

Looking at the bell in the yard in confusion, Zhang Shuhui said quietly: "Brother must be even more dignified!"

Granny Ming nodded and said: "That's not it, the Duke's face was still pale when he went out, but this time he came back to see, good guy, his face is dark, fortunately the two ladies can recognize it!"

"Pfft!"

Zhang Shuhui couldn't help laughing.

Granny Ming is the most personal and considerate person of the old lady, and she is the only one who dares to make fun of Zhang Fu like this.

After a slight smile, Granny Ming said: "Although the old lady doesn't care much, she understands what should be understood. Don't worry, the second son-in-law's fortune is yet to come!"

Zhang Shuhui said flatteringly: "No matter how lucky I am, it can't compare to my mother's current old Fengjun's blessing. So, I still have to go back to my mother's house a few more times in the future to bring back some of my mother's blessing."

"That can't be done!"

Granny Ming pretended to be serious and said: "The old lady's blessings are countless."

After speaking, both of them laughed. Zhang Shuhui knew that her mother-in-law would bring this to the old lady.

When Granny Ming and Xue Huamin returned to the Duke's Mansion, she really said these words, which made the old lady laugh heartily.

After laughing, the old lady sighed: "She used to be strong-tempered and didn't like to flatter others, but now that she is someone else's wife, she has also learned to deal with it, she has grown up!"

Zhang Shuhui has grown up. Although Fangjiazhuang is not big, she still has some things to deal with every day. And as Fang Xing was rewarded as a loose official, she had to learn how to deal with those officials' wives.

In the afternoon, the little Princess Wanwan was brought by Zhu Zhanji, and Liang Zhong's first sentence made Fang Xing laugh out loud.

"You said in the morning that you prepared crystal hoofs for me. Because of this, I didn't eat any rice at noon."

Fang Xing said with a smile: "Yes, today Hua Niang has used the skill of pressing the bottom of the box, I hope you are satisfied."

Wanwan tilted her head and looked at Fang Xing, but didn't speak.

Fang Xing knelt down, pretending to be serious, and said: "The little princess is here today, so I have to get back to my roots no matter what!"

Today these people are all here to congratulate, so they all have congratulatory gifts.

Seeing Wanwan's confused look, Fang Xing rubbed the top of her head and said with a smile, "If you give a gift in the countryside, you'll have to eat it back at the banquet with profit."

Zhu Zhanji also said: "Then we will not be polite today. Brother Dehua, hurry up and bring out the good wine."

Fang Xing raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "I'll let you walk in and carry it out tonight!"

When Wanwan's nuns heard this, they were all stunned, thinking that this Mr. Fang not only dared to tease the little princess like his father, but also dared to tease the grandson like a secular old friend, really...

What a free and easy celebrity!

With a smile on the corner of Zhu Zhanji's mouth, he waved his hand and said, "Then let's see the winner tonight!"

"And I!"

As soon as Liu Pu arrived, when he heard this, he remembered Fang Xing's good wine, and immediately moved over greedily.

Fang Xing glanced at him, and shouted: "How much did you make a mistake in your homework the day before yesterday?"

Liu Pu said with a headache: "Brother Dehua, my little brother has been in the camp for the past few days, but he was too tired to go back at night, so..."

"Forgive me once."

Thinking that today is a feast, Fang Xing said with a smile.

After the group went in and sat down, Wanwan puffed her cheeks and said, "I ate some delicious food yesterday."

The little girl felt that she was being left out, so Fang Xing immediately said: "Hua Niang did a lot of new tricks today that she didn't have before, so don't hold your belly up later."

When the dishes came out, there was a lot of miscellaneous food in the water. It really was a dazzling array, which made people's index fingers twitch.

The wine is good wine, the food is good, and the atmosphere is even more lively.

After drinking and eating, almost everyone felt a little unable to straighten their waists.

Then the last soup was served.

"Hawthorn soup, digest food and dissipate qi, drink a bowl."

At this time, hawthorns were used as medicine, but most of them were fried or steamed. Fang Xing's hawthorn soup with a little rock sugar was welcomed as soon as it was served. (To be continued.)
