The family banquet was set up at the Meihua Ferry next to the garden. There was a waterside pavilion next to the water. The eaves were tall and the hall was wide. It was a cool lake water. When the wind swept over, it brought a refreshing coolness and was a good place to cool down in summer. The Zheng family's usual family banquet was not usually set up here. It was just because it was hot today, Grandma Zheng and Grandma Zheng were considerate of everyone and specially reported to the old lady to set up the family banquet at the Meihua Ferry.

Mrs. Zheng Si was also very satisfied with the family banquet in Meihua Ferry. "This place is nice. It is not intoxicating when you are blowing and drinking wine!"

Master Zheng Si coughed, "Although the wife is not taking medicine now, the imperial physician has told her that she still has to be well-off and is not suitable to drink alcohol!"

Mrs. Zheng Si smiled and said, "I dare not drink alcohol!"

Grandma Zheng, who was busy beside him, heard it, "It's a pity for Aunt Fourth not to drink. Today, the old lady specially ordered someone to dig up the pear blossom white that had been buried under the pear blossom tree in the garden for three years. Aunt Third came after hearing about it!"

"Then the master wants to drink two more cups for me!" Mrs. Zheng Si smiled and turned to Xu Shu and said, "Although the white pear blossoms are soft, they have a lot of energy. You can drink less later!"

Xu Shu nodded, "Mom, don't worry, I have never drunk alcohol!"

"That's good!" Mrs. Zheng Si was relieved and glanced at the decorations of the seats in the hall. Seeing that the male and female seats were divided, she separated from Mr. Zheng Si and took Xu Shu to the female seats. Zheng Wanfeng followed him when she saw this.

Mrs. Zheng Si sat down, and Mrs. Gan, who was beside her, greeted her, "I heard that my younger brother and sister were sick a few days ago, but my body was not healed. I can't go see you. Today I see you in a rosy complexion, which is even better than before, but is it much better?"

Mrs. Zheng Si nodded with a smile, "It's okay! Thanks to Xiaojiu's care these days, I can rest as much as possible, so naturally I'm getting better soon!"

Mrs. Zheng turned her head and saw Xu Shu. Her eyebrows looked quite similar to Mrs. Zheng Si. Mrs. Zheng San couldn't help but take a look at her twice, and she felt more and more curious: Where did she find such a person from, and she can still look so similar...

When Xu Shu and others came late, everyone in the room looked at her secretly. Except for Master Zheng and others who had seen Xu Shu before, others did not realize that Xu Shu's appearance was compared with Mrs. Zheng Si. Seeing that the two were a bit similar, they felt a little confused.

As the banquet was about to begin, the old lady finally arrived, and everyone hurriedly stood up to greet her.

"Sit down!" The old lady took her seat, Grandma Zheng and others ordered the food to be served. Grandma Zheng got up and stood behind the old lady.

The old lady waved her hand, "Today is a family dinner, you are an elder, you stand, how can these little ones eat freely while sitting? Besides, your arm is still hurt. I don't need anyone to serve you here, go back and sit!"

It is rare that the old lady was so polite to speak, so Mrs. Zheng had to sit back. During the action, her eyes swept over Xu Shu, and finally stopped on Grandma Zheng, who was proud of her, touching her arm and sighing, "After this, she finally got it!"

Everyone sat down, and the old lady said loudly, "It's hot in summer, and the family rarely gets together. I hold this family banquet today because Yi Jie'er, who was raised in the temple since childhood, finally returned to the house! Yi Jie'er was born and had to be raised in the temple because of her fate. Now she is old this year and her fate has passed, so she took it back and let everyone meet each other. Previously, because the Fourth Master was not in the house, Yi Jie'er has been back for a long time, and she has only come out to walk around today. She is wronged!"

"Jie Yi, get up and greet all the uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters and sisters!" Mrs. Zheng Si pulled Xu Shu and stood up.

Xu Shu Chong bowed everywhere, "I'll pay my respects to all uncles and aunts, and I'll say hello to my brothers, sisters and sisters!" She was gentle and generous, impeccable, and didn't look like someone who had been imprisoned in the temple for more than ten years.

Mrs. Zheng and other elders all knew the truth, and were all smart people. They also had some understanding of Xu Shu's origin. They also hindered the Queen's affection. They were all polite and close to each other, except Mrs. Zheng Er.

Mrs. Zheng Er looked at Xu Shu horizontally and felt displeased. Then she looked at Mrs. Zheng Si who was smiling aside. Mrs. Zheng Er felt even more disturbed. She immediately laughed sarcastically, "Some days I haven't seen Sister Yi. When I saw her today, she looked less than the previous few days. Is the food in our mansion not as good as the vegetarian dishes in the temple?"

Xu Shu has always been thin, and not many people have seen Xu Shu. No matter whether Xu Shu was plump or thin before, now seeing Xu Shu thin, I feel that Mrs. Zheng Er’s words are reasonable.

Sure enough, as soon as Mrs. Zheng Er said this, the eyes of others gathered on Xu Shu again. Mrs. Zheng Si smiled and explained, "I was sick a few days ago, and I depended on Xiaojiu's handling of the yard. She was a child, so she could handle so many things, but in order not to worry me, she took it all, but she was tired and lost weight!"

Mrs. Zheng's words immediately explained the words of Mrs. Zheng Er to make people guess, and also created a filial and considerate image for Xu Shu. Everyone immediately praised Xu Shu.

Mrs. Zheng San also said, "That day, my maid asked me to send some materials to my fourth brother and sister. I saw that Yi Jie'er was feeding medicine to her fourth brother and sister. As expected, my daughter was still caring. No wonder the fourth brother and sister wanted to pick up Yi Jie'er in person, because she wanted to enjoy the blessing of her daughter soon!"

Mrs. Zheng Si smiled and said, "You not only enjoy the blessing of your daughter, but also the blessing of your daughter-in-law, but you are envious of others!"

"What do you envy? The Sixth Master is also at the age of getting married!"

"The Sixth Young Master is only one year younger than the Fifth Young Master, and it's time to get married. Old Lady, don't you?" Grandma Zheng suddenly interrupted.

"The banquet was well bought today!" The old lady did not respond, but instead praised Grandma Zheng, the second grandma Zheng.

Grandma Zheng, the second grandma Zheng, both suppressed the surprise and said humbly, "This is the duty of the granddaughter-in-law!" But Grandma Zheng was surprised, but her expression was a little reluctant.

Grandma Zheng showed her face in front of the old lady today. Mrs. Zheng also felt honored and immediately forgot about the fact that she was scolded by the old lady before. She held the wine glass and toasted the old lady in joy. "Mother, this pear blossom is so white today. My wife will give you a glass!"

The old lady was not willing to give Mrs. Zheng Er face in front of so many people. She took a symbolic sip and put down the cup.

Mrs. Zheng Er seemed to have achieved great dignity and sat down happily. Even when she saw the eighth lady Zheng Wanxia next to her, she was no longer so disgusted.
