"Dad, have a drink. How about evaluating it?" Ye Yuning pushed the delicate cup in front of Ye Shenghe, and looked at him in anticipation.
Ye Shenghe raised it and took a sip, his eyes suddenly lit up, "The taste is cool and refreshing, it is both light and elegant, and also has the rich and smooth taste of black tea, not bad not bad!" Ye Shenghe kept praising her.
He did not expect that after not seeing her for a few months, his daughter would become so sensible and learn a lot of things instead of her usual impatience and willfulness.
Ye Shenghe was very happy in his heart, and he began to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of tasting tea with Ye Yuning.
Ye Yuning only listened to most of them, she did not know much about the other teas, but because she liked Tie Guanyin the most, she was very good at it. Ye Shenghe did not mind, her daughter's growth was already shocking enough.
Lady Wen sat not too far away from them as she did her needlework. From time to time, she raised her head and looked at the two of them with eyes full of gratitude.
It was a full moon in the middle of autumn. During the night, Ye's Mansion's family gathered at Pingjing garden to enjoy the moon and drink wine together. The weather was sunny as the old lady placed the table in the yard.
The previously quiet and cold courtyard was now surrounded by a pot of blooming chrysanthemums. There were three osmanthus trees near the table. They were dotted with flowers that exuded a refreshing fragrance.
Even though there were three tables set up in the huge courtyard, they were not crowded. Ye Yuning sat beside Lady Wen and obediently helped her eat.
Lady Wen, Second Madam Ye and a few other wives brought legitimate daughter to sit at the same table as the Countess. Ye Shenghe's brothers and nephews sat at the same table, and the remaining table was filled with concubines and illegitimate daughter s.
"Mom, crab is cold, eat less." Ye Yuning helped Lady Wen peel a crab leg, and placed it on the white porcelain plate in front of her.
Lady Wen tapped her forehead: "Do I need you to teach me?" Shaking her head, Lady Wen took a sip of the small and exquisite golden wine.
Wine was the best type of Golden Flower Wine, and it was most suitable for being quoted as crab. This wine was even brought from Jin Hua by the third master's special forces, and there was a total of six or seven pots.
Lady Wen had an extremely high alcohol tolerance, but she rarely drank. Now that Ye Shenghe was back, her tensed heart had relaxed and she couldn't help but drink a few more cups.
Seeing that he could not persuade her anymore, Ye Yuning did not say anymore and laughed as he peeled and ate the crab.
In her previous life, ever since she had married into Duke of Pingjiang's residence, she had always been cautious. She had always been cautious in everything she did, afraid that others would speak up to her.
Although there were a few resentful and resentful gazes sweeping over from time to time, it did not affect Ye Yuning's good mood.
Seeing that it was such a big commotion, she drank a few more cups, and then blushed, "I can't take it, Nanny Jiang, help me go back and rest."
As the madame spoke, the others followed suit.
"Alright, it's rare for a family to reunite, so don't let me ruin your mood. You can continue." The madame waved her hand and the maidservants carried her into the room.
Ye Yuning turned her head, and saw that the Second and Third Master were all toasting to Ye Shenghe, and couldn't help but crease her eyebrows slightly, "Mother, Daddy seems to have drank too much."
Lady Wen looked up, and a hint of worry appeared in her eyes. Ye Shenghe's alcohol consumption was not high, once he drank, his entire body would turn red and he would be unconscious.
After thinking about it, Lady Wen stood up and walked towards the table.
"Second brother, third brother, our old master is a little drunk."
"Sister-in-law must be joking. This is Jinhua Wine. We can't get drunk even if we drink a few jars. We brothers rarely get together, so we should drink it to our heart's content!" Second Old Master narrowed his eyes and waved half a jar of wine in one hand.
The Third Master was beside him, smiling without saying a word. Lady Wen frowned, snatched Ye Shenghe's wine cup and drank it all in one go.
"Master is not good enough for wine, let me take his place." Before he finished speaking, Lady Wen picked up the wine jug on the table and poured a cup, then waved his hand at Second Old Master.
Second Old Master's eyes lit up. After he finished the wine in the cup, he said: "This little wine cup is not very satisfying. Eldest Sis, why don't we change cups and drink again?"
Hearing the teasing tone of the second master, Ye Shenghe was immediately displeased. "Second brother, what did you say? This is your elder sister-in-law! "
Second Old Master chuckled: "Big brother, why do you have to be so clear on the family members? Come, come, sister, sit down and drink with us! "
Even with Lady Wen's good temper, her face still turned cold. The third master and the others did not speak and just ate in silence.
"Second brother, don't use the way you ask for drinks outside. Even if I'm not your eldest brother, I can still teach you a lesson." Lady Wen said with a strong tone.
Facing his own family and being so brazen in persuading him to drink, anyone would feel uncomfortable in their eyes.
Once Second Old Master was touched by the wine, he didn't know what fear was. He would drink with whoever stood by his side.
Now that he was slightly tipsy, he slowly stood up, and did not care about what Lady Wen said, and said: "If Sis is not willing to drink with me, then I will look for someone else to drink, which one of you is willing to drink with me?"
Scanning the surroundings, the Second Elder saw that no one agreed, and pouted: "How boring! You can't even enjoy yourself if you drink. "
At this moment, Second Madam called for the maidservants behind her to stand up and walk to the Second Master.
"Old master is drunk. Let's go back!" Second Madam then helped the Second Master up without any further explanation, and had the maidservants bring him back to the Lotus Fragrance Garden.
"Eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law, our master drank some wine and it was like this. Don't take offense, sister-in-law will apologize for him here." Second Madam Gu bowed deeply with an apologetic expression.
The Second Madam's face was filled with helplessness at her master's ugly state after getting drunk. Even with Lady Wen's good temper, she was still able to treat them coldly. It could be seen how unreasonable he was.
Second Madam did not do anything wrong. There was nothing that did not conform to the rules. Normally, the second room would not be at peace, and her body had only recently recovered a little.
Lady Wen hurriedly helped her up: "What are you doing? Would I blame you? If your health is not good, you should go back soon! "
Second Madam Ye smiled warmly and called for the Second House to leave. Concubine Qiao and Ye Yujiao obviously weren't willing, but seeing that the other people from the second floor had left, they didn't feel it right to shamelessly sit down.
Without this house, the others didn't feel uncomfortable and continued to enjoy the scenery. Concubine Su was completely silent during the banquet, her gaze swept between Ye Shenghe and herself, and she suddenly pulled a few bandages on her body. Looking at the smile on Lady Wen's face, she couldn't help but feel angry, but at this moment, she couldn't interrupt at all. She could only watch as the family of three enjoyed themselves.
At the beginning of the eleventh hour, when the banquet had just ended, everyone went back to their own rooms to rest.
