Chapter 503 Preparing for the Banquet

"Big brother."

Su Wanwan shouted, and everyone didn't say much at the door. They surrounded each other and entered the mansion.

This is my daughter-in-law's home turf, and of course, Shen Yuan was not forgotten. The eldest brother said something to Su Wanwan, then walked behind her and chatted with Shen Yuan for a few words.

As if afraid of neglecting him.

When he first saw this man, he felt that this man had a strong aura, worthy of being a young general from a military camp.

He was also a military general, but he had never been on the battlefield, while the other person was a young general who had actually been on the battlefield and fought against the Huns.

Shen Yuan was not timid at all, and readily answered whatever his brother-in-law asked.

Ye Xingyuan was very satisfied with that calm and composed demeanor.

My sister has good taste.

"When I first saw Shen Yuan, I felt like something was different about him. But when I looked more closely, he was still the same person."

Ye Mufei also glanced at Shen Yuan and asked in confusion.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, uncle."

Shen Yuan's expression remained unchanged, only the shape of his eyebrows changed.

Su Wanwan also heard the people talking behind her and couldn't help but smile.

This time when she came to the capital, she specially tidied up Shen Yuan's clothes.

Although General Huo left the capital at the age of eight and wore a mask in the military camp, the probability that someone would recognize him was very low.

But she made some changes, just in case.

After all, Shen Yuan's face should be very similar to those of the Huo family.

The Huo family members all have sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and Shen Yuan is no exception.

The eyes cannot be changed, but the eyebrows are the ones she made the biggest changes.

She trimmed her previously thick eyebrows a little. Her sharp eyebrows were too angular, so she made adjustments to make them softer.

Although it is just a change of eyebrows, it has to be said that when a man's eyebrows change, the whole person seems to change.

It's okay for uncle to ask this. Mother and sister Xue'er had met Shen Yuan before and also said something was different.

This time, the family really had a reunion dinner.

The ceremony of recognizing ancestors was scheduled for the next day.

Su Wanwan and her group were very tired, so they took a good night's rest.

The Ye family's cemetery is in the suburbs of Beijing, and the ancestral hall is not far from the cemetery.

The ceremony was also very simple. It was just to kowtow at the cemetery, then go to the ancestral hall to burn incense, and write Ye Xingwan's name into the family tree.

Girls here can be included in the family tree when they reach the age of 15, but those who die young are not counted.

Su Wanwan's name was officially changed to Ye Xingwan, but perhaps because people were used to calling her that, everyone still called her Wanwan.

As the new nobles in the capital and close ministers to the emperor, the Ye family has attracted countless attention.

Although the recognition of a daughter was kept low-key, it was still known to some interested people. They came to congratulate and wanted to meet the new daughter of the second branch of the Ye family, who was Princess Jiacheng, personally conferred by His Majesty.

Not to mention that this princess was not an ordinary peasant woman, but a remarkable woman who had made great contributions to the world by discovering new crops.

It doesn't take much to know that this princess will have a bright future.

After receiving two waves of guests, sister-in-law Qiao Mingzhu felt a little worried when she saw the endless stream of invitations.

Second Aunt hates these social events the most.

This is not an option either.

So he took the post to find his second aunt, and Su Wanwan happened to be there too.

"Second Aunt, there are too many posts asking for an audience. I was thinking about holding a banquet for my younger sister."

Qiao Mingzhu is becoming more and more like the mistress of the house.

Yun Ran also looked at the post, then looked at his daughter.

"Wanwan, what do you think?"

She knew her daughter had never seen such scenes, and to be honest, she didn't like them either.

But secretly, she also wanted to host this party.

When her daughter returns home, she should stand in front of everyone so that everyone knows that she is the golden branch and jade leaf of their Ye family.

But I’m afraid my daughter won’t like it.

Su Wanwan really didn't like this kind of banquet.

In the novel, there are always all kinds of weird female supporting characters jumping around at the banquet, and there are endless conspiracies and tricks.

Now that I have arrived in the capital, it seems that I cannot escape this.

Yun Ran saw her expression and knew that she was unwilling. He also understood her worries and reached out to hold her daughter's hand:

"Wanwan, it's okay. You are the host of this banquet. We are hosting it ourselves. No one dares to do anything. What's more, I was supposed to take you to see His Majesty today. It's just right. Let's not go. I will write a letter to His Majesty and ask him to attend the banquet."

When Su Wanwan heard this, her eyes lit up.

If Your Majesty also participated, there wouldn't be so many covetous monsters.

What's more, we can take this opportunity to let Shen Yuan meet His Majesty.

Shen Yuan does not hold an official position now, so it would be too conspicuous if his uncle brought him into the palace openly.

Speaking of this, she and Shen Yuan had originally planned to ask their uncle to take them to visit Grandpa Huo when they came back this time. However, the Huo family had not allowed anyone to see them recently, saying that Grandpa Huo was ill and needed to rest, and that visits were prohibited.

So after coming back for so long, Shen Yuan not only hadn't entered the Huo family's gate, he hadn't even seen His Majesty.

The Huo family has begun to be on guard against them, so they must be careful.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Su Wanwan agreed immediately.

Holding a banquet is not an easy matter, so the date was set for three days later, at the Duke Zhenguo Mansion.

During these three days, Qiao Mingzhu was very busy. Not only did she have to prepare a list, but she also had to prepare for all matters related to the banquet. Fortunately, her two younger brothers and sisters also helped, otherwise she would have been overwhelmed.

Yun Ran finally took a look at the guest list, added and removed, and finally counted, there were actually thirty tables!

Then comes the dishes. Due to her identity, dishes related to sweet potatoes, corn and bean curd have to be included, so that everyone can see her contribution.

Fortunately, my younger sister brought enough things, especially bean curd sheets, which she brought in two carts.

Su Wanwan couldn't help, but her mother took her to the capital for a tour and even ordered jewelry and clothes for her.

By the time the invitations were sent out, everyone knew that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was going to host a banquet.

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has always been very low-key. In fact, this is the first time it has held a banquet since he was rehabilitated and returned to Beijing.

But think about it, now that we have recognized the daughter of the Ye family, and such a promising daughter at that, it is only right to hold a banquet.

If their family also had such descendants, they would wish the whole world knew about it.

I have to sigh at the good luck of the Ye family.

Because of the crime of treason, they were exiled to the frontier, where countless people died and were injured. They thought they might never come back in this lifetime, and it was lucky that they could keep their roots.

Who would have thought that when the new emperor ascended the throne, they would actually become the new emperor's benefactors and stand out from the rest.

Now that they have found such a promising daughter, their achievement has been further enhanced. Apart from the Huo family, the only family in Beijing that can be compared is their Ye family.

The affairs of the Ye family had been discussed for three days. Those who did not receive an invitation were also trying to find out if any of their relatives or friends had received one so that they could go and have a look.

Taking this situation into consideration, Qiao Mingzhu prepared ten more tables, fearing that some families would bring too many people and the thirty tables would not be able to accommodate them.

It’s better to prepare more than to have no room.

The Huo family also received an invitation.

But this incident did not alarm the old man.

The Ye family banquet was not a banquet for the women in the rear palace. Ministers went with their wives. Huo Xiangdong decided to take his wife and eldest son with him.

He did not inform the old man about this.

However, since Mr. Huo learned the news about Huo Yuan, his mood improved and his health gradually recovered.
