Chapter 32 Family Dinner
"Don't girls love to eat?"

Song Jiuxi looked at him twice, then looked away, it seemed that she was thinking too much.

Yan Shubai lowered his eyes, and there was a spring-like smile in his eyes.

The little girl had grown up back then, but now she is not easy to coax or lie to.

But the love for thousand-layer cakes is still the same.

Song Jiuxi lowered her head to eat. She was very serious when eating. She took a bite of the layer cake and didn't swallow it. The next bite was already stuffed in her mouth.

Her cheeks were bulging, she looked very much like a squirrel that Yan Shubai had seen in the bushes of the Northland.

The north is desolate, and there is nothing to eat in the bushes.

The squirrel didn't know how it got into the barren bush, Yan Shubai couldn't bear it, and broke the dry food in his hand for it to eat.

So the squirrel squatted obediently at his feet, holding the broken dry food in its two paws, eating quickly and anxiously.

Her cheeks were also bulging, just like Song Jiuxi in front of her.

Song Jiuxi's manner of eating like this would have been scolded in the Marquis of Changping.

Not at all dignified, not refined.

Because of this, Song Wenzhi often kicked her off the dinner table when she was half-eating.Later, Song Jiuxi didn't eat with them even if he ate a few bites casually.

But in Yan Shubai's place, no one would talk about her.

Song Jiuxi felt very relaxed, she would never be able to learn from everyone's ladylike ways.She doesn't know how to write slender boudoir poems, she doesn't know how to play obscene and delicate piano sounds, and she doesn't know how to be a female celebrity.

Even the walking and sitting postures are not as particular as those in the boudoir, it's not that she can't, she forced herself to learn everything in her last life.It's just that she no longer pays attention to the secular discipline on women, and she even discards "Female Virtue" as a waste.

She picked up the silver gun and held the sharp sword. This is Song Jiuxi.

After breakfast, Song Jiuxi didn't plan to go out today.She needs to sort out the land deeds in her hands to see which ones can be used.

Moreover, she wants to learn medical skills again. Aunt Qing has long wanted to pass on her medical skills, and now she is teaching her all her own.

Except for Song Jiuxi's lack of female talent, she is good at other things.

She memorizes herbs and prescriptions very quickly, and usually memorizes them after reading them once.

Even Aunt Qing was amazed by this, and then she felt like a treasure.

In the evening of this day, Madam Qian, who was next to the Second Madam, came to invite her, saying that Duke Yan had returned with the Second Young Master Yan.Tonight, there is a reunion dinner in the main hall, Yan Shubai and Song Jiuxi are invited to come over.

Song Jiuxi has not seen Duke Yan in the past few days since he came to Duke Yan's mansion, let alone the other young masters in the mansion.

When it was dinner time, Song Jiuxi pushed Yan Shubai over, and when he arrived at the main hall, he found that everyone in every room was there.

In the former dynasty, the Yan family was a wealthy businessman in Yongzhou.It is Yan Herong, the Duke of Yan, and the eldest son of the eldest son of the Yan family who brought his whole family into the Holy Majesty's camp and provided a lot of money for the early recruitment of the Holy Majesty.

Yan Herong himself was very talented and learned. After the establishment of Dayan, he sat on the position of Minister of the Household with his own ability, and was also named Yan Guogong, and the title was hereditary.

And Yan Hezhuo, the second son of the Yan family, is a military genius, he was named a general, and now he is guarding the middle of Shu and Bei, guarding the important area of ​​Xisai.

There are now three generations in the Duke's Mansion of the State of Yan, the old lady on top is still alive, and the four brothers and sisters Yan Herong and Yan Hezhuo are in the middle.

However, the third younger sister entered the palace and became a concubine, while the fourth younger brother was an idle and rich man who worked as a teacher in an academy.

The grandchildren of the eldest family only have Yan Shubai and Yan Yueqing who are descended from the first family, and the grandchildren of the second family have Yan Beiheng, Yan Yuening, and Yan Beichen who are descended from the concubine.As for the third room, there is only one prostitute.

Such a big family filled the main hall with three tables. As soon as Song Jiuxi and Yan Shubai entered, the laughter that was originally full in the hall stopped.

After a while, the second lady said, "Shu Bai, Jiu Xi is waiting for you to come."

Yan Guogong has a serious face, and he looks like a serious person.

On his left is the old lady, and on his right is Yan Beiheng, the eldest son of Yan Hezhuo.

Yan Hezhuo was stationed in Xisai, and his eldest son stayed in the capital, and was always taught by his uncle Yan Herong himself.

It is said that Yan Guogong devoted all his efforts to this nephew. From the beginning of reading, to the later examination of merit, and now to work in the officialdom, he taught him hand in hand.

The person in the capital who inherits the Duke of Xiguo is probably not Yan Shubai, the eldest grandson, but Yan Beiheng, the second wife.

Song Jiuxi looked at the friendly atmosphere between the two, like a father and son, making Yan Shubai, the father and son, an outsider.

But Yan Shubai kept his face light, as if he didn't care.

Duke Yan said, "Let's serve dinner."

The servants put the food on the table one after another. Originally, Song Jiuxi thought that the Duke's Mansion should be like the Song family, adhering to the principle of not talking about food.But after the meal, everyone gradually became active and started talking.

Yan Guogong turned his head to talk to Yan Beiheng about the tax and labor case they had handled in Jiangnan. From the beginning to the end, he didn't care about his own son, and even ignored Song Jiuxi, his daughter-in-law.

Everyone at the table was talking, but Yan Shubai and Song Jiuxi became transparent people.

Song Jiuxi didn't know why the Yan family treated Yan Shubai like this, but seeing Yan Shubai's indifference, she also felt that there was no need to care about it.

Yan Shubai suddenly said: "Madam, I want to eat that dry steamed duck."

Song Jiuxi followed his fingers to look over, and the dry steamed duck was placed in front of Yan Beiheng.

Yan Beiheng seemed to like eating very much, and the chopsticks never stopped.

But upon hearing these words, Yan Beiheng stopped his chopsticks and looked over, and everyone looked at Yan Shubai.

Duke Yan frowned, and said coldly: "Dry steamed duck is your brother's favorite, and you don't usually eat it at all. Besides, you are not in good health, how can you eat these?"

Yan Shubai smiled and asked, "Then what can I eat, father?"

Yan Guogong frowned even harder: "How did the doctor tell you? And how did you take care of Shu Bai? Do you know what he can and cannot eat?"

Duke Yan's anger rushed to Song Jiuxi, and he put his chopsticks heavily on the table.

Song Jiuxi raised his eyes and looked at him coldly, and asked, "Yan Guogong's words are really ridiculous. Does Yan Guogong know what your son likes to eat? You said he can't eat dry steamed duck. The table is full of dishes. Is there any dish that he can eat? Do you still know that he is a sick person?"

"presumptuous!"

With a heavy drink, everyone stopped their chopsticks in fright.

Yan Guogong shouted angrily: "Yan Shubai, why do you care about the people in your room? Do you still pay attention to my father?! You are disobedient!"

Yan Shubai raised his lips and said, "I would also like to thank my father for choosing a wife for his son, which is very suitable for me."

Yan Guogong was so angry that his hands were shaking, Yan Beiheng hurriedly advised: "Uncle, don't be angry, anger will hurt your body."

In the midst of the commotion, Yan Shubai said flatly: "What a picture of a loving father and filial son, I lose my appetite."

Song Jiuxi stood up and pushed Yan Shubai out. "Husband's health is not good, since it is so unappetizing, let's go back and eat by ourselves."

Yan Shubai heard the words, the coldness in his eyes dissipated.

His little girl was quite protective of him.

Everyone watched Yan Shubai and Song Jiuxi leave, speechless for a moment.

Yan Guogong said angrily: "Niety! Niezi!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the table in front of him suddenly collapsed, and all the vegetable soup on the table was poured on the people at the table.They hurriedly stood up, shaking off the food on their bodies.

"How could the table collapse when it was so good?"

"My new dress! It's all ruined."

"It must be Yan Shubai, not Song Jiuxi, they did it!"
