Hearty meal with tales

The villa was already cleaned and placed with new beautiful flowers. One look and anyone would know it was a special day. The kitchen was in full swing.

The pavilion outside was prepared with tables and cushions for the lunch. Surrounded by flowers it was sight to behold. Soon the carriages from yan manor entered.

Beside the sons of general yan who were still holding front lines all the people were present. Dresse well with upright postures they were welcomed warmly by zhu geng and the servants.

Reaching the beautifully prepared pavilion they sighed internally. With her usual graceful steps Yusheng entered flanked by the elders and zhu mama. After a round of greetings and warm wishes they took their seat.

Yusheng was pleased with all the younger generations progress. She eased the environment by starting light chats. Beside junqi all the people were nervous in presence of Yusheng and the elders.

It was a great honour to have been invited by the lord of the valley. They felt all the green eyes while they were entering through the villa doors. The sour smell and gaze so sharp that they dare not turn their backs.

It was junqi's chattering and Yusheng's laugh that finally eased their nerves. Once in a while interjecting in between the conversation making the atmosphere more warm.

"My lord, it was not my fault ah... it was that vendor trying to scan this lady.. so I just had a little bit.. just a little bit of spat with him... but ..brother Jiaqi snitched on mother and this lady was punished.

Look my fingers are all red and swollen from copying all those scriptures. And brother brother jici also had me confined for an entire week... say isn't it too harsh for just a little spat." pitifully snitches on her brothers and mother showing her fingers.

Cross eyed at her behaviour both jiaqi and jici snorted, while her mother and elders felt helpless. It was jiaqi who feeling injustice also snitches "hah... só for your little spat.. my lord.. do not believe her lies with her pitiful face..

She as a noble lady not only runs around like a wild horse every day but also keep on adding troubles. All the vendors close there market upon seeing her in fear of having their image and things upside down. She and her little monster's group are called notorious maidens in the entire capital."

All of the people had their lips twitching as it was true but in fear of not making junqi fire up they remained silent as if accepting the fact.

Then it was Jici who piled up more "hmph.. what do you mean little spat?... not only you had that poor vendor drenched in dog blood infront of public.. you with your little monsters even brazenly broke his stall.. real or fake he still lost lot of money..

It's always something happening somewhere. All because of this we are now being called brothers of little demon..the punishment you received are far more inferior. If not for eldest brother and grandfather you would still be confined."

Yusheng was laughing till she had tears in her eyes making all of them feel warm and giddy. Specially the elders and zhu mama, there gaze was much more kind to the yans.

Feeling the atmosphere was jovial General yan also interjected "junqi.. ah.. these years you are indeed wild.. even creating a group same as you.. their parents give me headaches all the time ah.. saying your influence are making their lady's bad..

Not only you fight with vendors.. you along with your group entered the dragon temple then stole all the peaches making the guards angry, clearly knowing that first batch of peach is always for the sage and his monks.

And that time when you had taken your entire group to dine in Xiu.. and with lords valley tally you brazenly still bargained even after getting discount till the cashier almost went bald.."

Her mother and grandmother also felt it was the right time to have her nature curbed through Yusheng also expressed their helplessness. First was her grandmother " hah.. junqi.. ah.. not only you are wild.. you also behave like a man.. arm wrestling with grown men.. placing bets.. beating many scholars and sons of nobles to pulp..

Their parents are always in doors demanding justice and compensation. Not a day passes by when a person comes with grievances" sighs the old lady.

While her mother pitifully says "qi'er you are already at age of getting betrothel. But because of all this all the scholars and noble sons are scared of you.

Say how will you find good husband at this rate.. mother told you to learn embroidery but you use needles as dart.. mother called mamas for you to learn etiquette but you drove them away almost half mad..mother brought teachers for you learn four arts but on the very first day the teachers ran back refusing to teach you further...

And not to mention you with your friends even threatened a scholar beating him to pulp for wanting to marry Wei Xiaoyi.. mother had to ask forgiveness to that scholars parents for a long time ..ah"
