"Master Wang, what are you talking about? You are the young lady's distinguished guest, how can you cause trouble?" Aunt Tan laughed when she heard this.

Then he looked at Wang Yugui and said, "Master Wang, are you okay?"

"Thanks to Aunt Tan's care, I'm almost well now," Wang Yugui said with a smile

Mother Tan smiled and nodded: "That's good!"

Then he looked at Wang Yugui and said, "Master Wang, I just told the kitchen to add a few more dishes tonight."

"I am going to host a banquet for our master and his wife tonight to entertain our distinguished guests!"

"Ah? Oh, Aunt Tan, you are too polite. I can just have a simple meal tonight. I don't need to trouble you." Wang Yugui heard this and hurriedly declined.

He didn't want to have dinner with Mrs. Tan. He wanted to have dinner alone with Miss Tan.

After hearing this, Mother Tan smiled and waved her hand: "Master Wang, you don't have to be polite to me. Since you are here at our farm, just listen to me."

Then he smiled at Miss Tan and said, "Miss, the horse has been walked for a long time, right? It's time to go back!"

"Okay, I see, Aunt Tan, we are just about to go back," Miss Tan smiled.

After hearing this, Mother Tan smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay, that's good!"

Mrs. Tan, along with the two old ladies and Abao, did not leave until they saw Miss Tan and Wang Yugui both mounted their horses.

……

That night, Mrs. Tan hosted a banquet to entertain Wang Yugui. According to Miss Tan's request, the banquet was set in the pavilion in the back garden.

Because Mrs. Tan was present, Wang Yugui ate quite well during the dinner.

Mother Tan talked a lot, sometimes asking about Wang Yugui's family situation, sometimes asking about Wang Yugui's exam situation, and sometimes asking about Wang Yugui's portrait...

Wang Yugui had no choice but to answer one by one. After listening, Mrs. Tan always compared her situation with that of Miss Tan.

For example, when Wang Yugui answered about his family situation, Tan Ma would say, "Oh, Mr. Wang is the only son in the family, and our daughter is also the only daughter in the family!"

When Wang Yugui answered questions about the exam, Tan Ma would say, "Ah, our master always says that it's a pity that our daughter is a girl. If she were a boy, she would have won the first place in the imperial examination several times, let alone the scholar!"

When Wang Yugui answered the question about the portrait, Tan Ma would say, "Although our young lady can't paint portraits, her embroidery skills are unmatched!"

Not only that, Mother Tan also inquired very carefully, even asking whether the eldest and second sisters were engaged.

Wang Yugui secretly groaned, it was really difficult to chat with the old woman. This Mrs. Tan asked more detailed questions than Mr. Tan, and was quite gossipy!

But Miss Tan was listening with great interest and didn't help Wang Yugui to stop him.

Wang Yugui was so anxious that he winked at her from time to time, but Miss Tan just smiled and winked at him.

After finally finishing dinner, Aunt Tan smiled and said, "Master Wang, did you have a good dinner?"

"Very good, thank you Aunt Tan for the hospitality" Wang Yugui laughed awkwardly

Mother Tan nodded: "That's good!"

As he said that, he looked at Wang Yugui and said, "Master Wang, it's getting late. You've just recovered from your cold. Go back and rest early!"

Then he looked at Miss Tan again and said, "It's time for our lady to go back and rest. Let's all go home tonight!"

Wang Yugui frowned after hearing this. This Mrs. Tan wanted to separate him and Miss Tan right after dinner. She was too strict!

Wang Yugui did not answer Tan Ma. He looked up at the sky and said with a smile, "Tan Mei, the moonlight is quite beautiful tonight. It's not good to go to bed right after dinner."

"Why don't we sit here for a while, admire the moon, and help digest the food, what do you think?"

After saying that, without waiting for Miss Tan to answer, he smiled and said to Mother Tan: "Mother Tan, you have been busy all day and must be tired. You don't have to accompany us. You can go and rest first!"

"Ah? This..." Mother Tan frowned after hearing this, then looked up at the sky and smiled: "Master Wang, it's not even the 15th of August yet, the moon isn't even full yet, what's there to see?"

"Haha, Aunt Tan, you don't understand this. Even though the moon is not full, there are still things to appreciate." Wang Yugui laughed

He added: "Besides, even if we don't appreciate the moon, it's nice to look at the starry sky. We can also count the stars in the sky!"

"What? Count, count the stars?" Mother Tan was very surprised when she heard this: "Master Wang, there are so many stars in the sky, can you count them all?"

"If we have to count this, how long will it take?"

"Haha, Mrs. Tan, then you don't have to worry. We can count as many as we can. You can just take a rest!" Miss Tan spoke.

As he said this, he waved his hand and called two little girls over: "Help Tan Ma to have a rest!"

"Oh, Miss, this, I..." Mother Tan hesitated and didn't want to leave.

A Bao hurried forward to support Tan Ma: "Tan Ma, just rest assured."

"We are all here with the young lady and the prince!"

"Well, that's fine." Mother Tan nodded and smiled, "Then I, an old woman, will go take a rest first, so as not to disturb you young people from counting the stars!"

As he walked, he muttered: "Hey, why do young people nowadays count stars?"

Although he was muttering, he did not forget to arrange two little girls to guard the pavilion before leaving.

Two old women were arranged to guard not far from the pavilion, and they told Abao to stay close to the young lady and not leave without permission.

As soon as Aunt Tan left, the maids and servants came up and cleared away the banquet, replacing it with fruits, cakes and tea.

"Oh, this Mrs. Tan, why is she guarding me like a thief, and she has so many people guarding me layer by layer?" As soon as Mrs. Tan left, Wang Yugui laughed.

After hearing this, A Bao laughed and said, "Prince Wang, just be content!"

"If our master were at home, you wouldn't even have a chance to defend yourself!"

"Haha, that's right." Wang Yugui laughed.

Then he hurriedly asked, "Tan Mei, when will your father come back?"

"She should be back the day after tomorrow afternoon," Miss Tan smiled.

After hearing this, Wang Yugui hurriedly said, "Then I'll go back to the city early the day after tomorrow, hehe!"

"Brother Gui, what's wrong? Are you so afraid of seeing my father?" Miss Tan smiled at Wang Yugui.

Wang Yugui laughed: "Hehe, no, Sister Tan, I'm just afraid that Master Tan will test me!"

"I was already nervous when I saw him, and if I take the test again, I'm sure I'll fail!"

"Haha, you still haven't read your book well, have you?" Miss Tan laughed after hearing this.

He added: "I am not well educated, and I feel guilty!"

"Hey, Sister Tan, I'm not feeling guilty, I'm just feeling panicked," Wang Yugui laughed.

He added, "I don't know why, but when I saw County Magistrate Hai, I didn't see your father panic!"

"Haha, Mr. Wang, you are a son-in-law who is afraid of meeting his father-in-law," Ah Bao blurted out after hearing this.

Miss Tan patted her on the shoulder and said, "Hey, Abao, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Yeah, Abao is right, that's it, haha." Wang Yugui also laughed after hearing this.
