Salted Fish Lady Loves to Eat Melons

Chapter 222 How can a wedding banquet be considered a banquet if it doesn’t cause trouble?

No one knows why the Xiao family has so many delicious foods that they have never eaten.

Not only because Wen Qingwan has lived a lifetime, but also because she has a merit mall.

As long as you have merit points and silver in the mall, you can exchange them for various delicacies and even food secret recipes.

The fourth son of the Xiao family, Xiao Lichuan, mainly deals in clothing and daily necessities, while the seventh son specializes in selling food.

In the prosperous dynasty, food and clothing themselves occupied a large market, not to mention that Wen Qingwan's food recipes, brocade cloth, and beauty products were so unique.

That's why Xiao Lichuan and Xiao Lishen were able to crush other wealthy businessmen in just a few months and take the lead in their respective industries.

With Xiao Jin's military merits added to the Xiao family's arsenal, it is not impossible for the brothers Xiao Lichuan and Xiao Lishen to become imperial merchants.

The young boys and girls who came to the Xiao family with their parents for the wedding banquet today would not think about these things.

At every banquet, they would compete with the people at the same table in terms of father, elder brother, looks, and all kinds of other things.

The Xiao family was a prominent family of scholars and officials during the Great Sheng Dynasty more than 200 years ago, and their mansion was large enough.

Big figures like Duke Su and Duke Xie were arranged in the hall, and some middle-aged relatives were also arranged in different halls.

The boys and girls were all arranged in Wisteria Garden, which was a large courtyard where the Xiao family had held flower-viewing banquets for generations and could accommodate two thousand people.

Although the Wisteria Garden is not as colorful as it was a hundred years ago, there are still many man-made landscapes, and the winding bridges and flowing water remain unchanged.

There were so many people coming to the wedding banquet today, so the Xiao family arranged for the boys and girls to sit on each side, separated by a curved bridge and flowing water.

Most young people are conquered by the food. Besides marveling at its deliciousness, they are also amazed at its novelty.

Occasionally, you can also take a look at the gorgeous young ladies from various families across the street. Those more reserved and introverted young ladies will not sit by the running water.

The ladies who sit closer to the men are also active and restless.

Similarly, on the men's side, the youngest son of the Shen family and Young Master Fan Wu deliberately chose tables close to the female guests.

The ladies sitting across the table from them included Fan Shiliu, the eldest daughter of the second branch of the Xie family, and several girls from the Shen family.

At the beginning, both parties were attracted by the delicious food and had no intention of causing trouble. Only after they were full and satisfied did they feel in the mood to comment on each other.

"Ms. Shen Liu is wearing such gorgeous clothes today. Are you trying to outshine the other girls?"

Fan Shiliu said in a sarcastic tone. She had been looking around since she sat down, but she couldn't see Xie Xiaofeng.

"My sister's Floating Moonlight Satin is a tribute from Linzhou that was personally awarded by the former Crown Princess. It is said that when you walk at night, it glitters like the moon shining on you."

Miss Shen Eight seems to be speaking for Miss Shen Six, but in fact she is deliberately trying to attract hatred for her. She is the legitimate daughter of the third branch of the Shen family.

Although Miss Shen Liu is the concubine daughter of Minister Shen, she and the two Crown Princesses are half-sisters and are extremely beautiful.

As expected, the second daughter of the Xie family was not happy. "Shen Liu, what do you mean by wearing clothes given by a dead person to attend the wedding banquet of the Second Young Master Xiao and the Fifth Young Master?"

"You...you...how can you slander me like that!" Miss Shen Liu stuttered in anger.

She asked her father to come to the Xiao Mansion today mainly because she wanted to meet the Fourth Young Master Xiao. She had met the Fourth Prince Xiao last time at the flower-viewing banquet in the East Palace.

After her elder sister fell into the water, she went to find her brother and saw the Fourth Young Master Xiao talking eloquently to everyone.

She was stunned by what she saw. She fell in love with him at first sight and fell in love with him. Later, after many inquiries, she learned that he was engaged, but she felt that she was still qualified to be a concubine.

After all, her father was the Minister of Personnel, the head of the Six Ministries, and an important official in the Emperor's cabinet, and her two elder sisters had married into the Eastern Palace one after another.

The second eldest daughter of the Xie family also fell in love with the fourth young master Xiao. She had met him when she went to buy brocade with her cousin Xie Wanhua.

When she saw that he was handsome and looked like Pan An, she was attracted to him immediately. However, when she told his father about it when she got home, he disagreed.

It was said that the Xiao family was very poor, and that his father lived off women's dowries, but Jiang Li got there first.

She was so angry that she complained to her father that it was because of his obstruction that she could only marry the Fourth Young Master Xiao as a concubine.

But her maid told her that Miss Shen Liu was also inquiring about Young Master Xiao Si, so she disliked Shen Liu particularly.

"What did I say wrong? Could it be that your elder sister is not dead? Miss Shen Ba also said that she was the former Crown Princess!"

"Miss Xie Qi, please be careful with your words. The person sitting opposite us is the young master of the Shen family." Fan Shiliu advised perfunctorily.

"That fat pig-like guy on the other side? Isn't there a stream of water between us? Can he fly over and hit us?"

The second lady of the Xie family is a close friend, the daughter of a minor official in Beijing said with disdain.

"Is the ugly guy over there talking about me? I'm going to go over and beat you to death." Shen Lao Mo shouted angrily.

He was already full of anger, and now he was ignited. It would be strange if he didn't get angry!

His sisters all entered the Eastern Palace as Crown Princesses one after another, which shows how incredibly beautiful they were.

They are all born of the same parents. In fact, the youngest Shen has good facial features, but he is a bit fat and always looks a bit clumsy at first glance.

Although his facial features were not bad, his face was wrapped in fat and looked a little round, and his beautiful big eyes were often squinted because of the flesh.

Although his nose is quite high, it is slightly flat because of the flesh around it. His even better-looking chin has several layers of flesh, so all you can see at a glance are layers of flesh.

So he started to gain weight at the age of ten, and people only saw his ordinariness, which had nothing to do with handsomeness.

Su Jiu and Fan Wu, who were sitting at the same table with him, looked particularly handsome. In the past, Su Jiu was his follower, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Now that Su Jiu and the Fourth Prince have become sworn brothers and sisters with the female devil they fear, even their temperaments have changed.

Especially when Su Jiu is dressed up as his sister, he looks even better than his brother and his temperament is as gentle as jade.

The women opposite him kept looking over, and each of them was looking at Su Jiu, which made Shen Lao Mo particularly angry.

The boys at their table were originally quite handsome, but they looked a little ugly compared to Su Jiu.

The youngest son of the Shen family looked so ugly compared to Su Jiu that he was already very resentful.

Now he heard the ladies across from him still making fun of his appearance. How could this be tolerated!
The youngest son of the Shen family walked with a gust of resentment, and without caring that it was someone else's wedding banquet, he ran across the small bridge.

As he walked, he yelled, "Ugly freak, I can't fly, but there's a small bridge ahead, I'll go over there and beat you to death."

"Jin'er, Wan'er, do you want to go and deal with it?" In the pavilion high up, Concubine De said worriedly.

"Don't worry, aunt. They are young people. Let them solve it themselves. How can a wedding banquet be called a banquet if there is no trouble?" Wen Qingwan said gently.
