Chapter 44 Celebration Banquet
Luo Qingqing knew that she should first grab Wen Yiheng and then see if there was a better tree to hug. If not, this one would do.
The news of our victory on the battlefield had already reached the capital, and the emperor received the news after New Year's Eve.
The emperor was very happy when he saw the news of our victory at the border. He kept saying: You will never be able to beat me in this life! It was like this before, and it will be even more so in the future!
We were at the border, waiting for Jin Ran to send us a letter of surrender and a letter of peace. We left only after their troops had retreated to their original territory.
When we left, we went to Yecheng again. Wen Yichen went to see Li Wenxian.
Li Wenxian jumped up happily when he saw Wen Yichen coming. Li Wenxian was relieved now, as he had a big family and a big business, and he could have made more money.
During the war between the Rong tribe and the Dayun Dynasty, some of his family's businesses were severely damaged, and he was very busy because of this. The losses on one side always need to be made up by the other side.
Now Li Wenxian doesn't need to be so busy. When we went to his house to find him, he looked at Wen Yichen and immediately hugged him!
Seeing him like this, Wen Yichen immediately pretended to scold him: "You are such a grown-up, why are you still acting like a child!"
Li Wenxian immediately hugged him tighter, and kept muttering: "I knew that with you and Brother Ran here, I could definitely be a cannon fodder. Now it's finally all right, my family's business is back on track, and I can lie down quietly!"
Li Wenxian was still quite heavy, and after holding him for a while, Wen Yiheng couldn't bear it anymore and immediately let Li Wenxian go.
After Li Wen had some free time, he said aggrievedly: "Brother Heng, did you not train well on the battlefield? I'm not that heavy, but you can't hold me for such a short time!"
Wen Yichen really didn't want to pay attention to him, so he rolled his eyes at him and said nothing. Li Wenxian immediately knew that Wen Yiheng was a little angry, and then said with a smile: "You are heroes. Have a good rest in my house today, and I will ask Brother Ran to come later, and let's have a drink together!"
Wen Yichen naturally thought the same. The victory of this battle was not only the result of his side, but also the result of Jin Ran's mediation.
I immediately took out twenty taels of silver and handed it to Li Wenxian. Li Wenxian looked at Wen Yichen, then at me. He said awkwardly: "You are the lucky star of our Dayun Dynasty and an important figure in the victory of this war. You don't need to give me this little money, right?"
I immediately stuffed the money into Li Wenxian's hand and said, "I borrowed all this money from you, so I have to pay it back! It's impossible for you not to pay it back, right? Wouldn't that be too much of a bully for you?"
Li Wenxian refused to take it no matter what he said, and kept refusing. Wen Yichen couldn't stand it anymore, so he said, "They asked you to borrow it, and now they are returning it to you, so just keep it. Otherwise, they will feel embarrassed!"
Li Wenxian listened to Wen Yichen's words and then accepted it.
I was watching from the side with a smile on my face. This Li Mansion is indeed luxurious, with everything a home should have, no worse than those in the capital. But it was a bit cold outside.
Li Wenxian seemed to realize that it was quite cold here, so he asked us to go inside and sit down.
He himself invited Jin Ran to his home for a celebratory banquet.
After Li Wenxian left, I looked at Wen Yichen and said unnaturally: "Today should be your brothers' gathering. It's not appropriate for me to be here, right? How about I go back first?"
Wen Yichen sat beside him and added charcoal to the stove. After adding it, he said, "It's okay. You played an important role in this matter. This is a celebration banquet, and you should also participate."
I said awkwardly, "But, although you and I are familiar with each other, the others are not very familiar, right?"
Wen Yichen looked at me and said with a smile: "If we don't communicate, we're naturally unfamiliar with each other. After a few more meals, we'll all be familiar with each other. What, are you shy? Besides, you're pretty familiar with Li Wenxian, too?"
I was speechless for a moment after being refuted, and could only stammer: "Um, that Jin Ran, I am not familiar with him. How can this be possible?"
I was about to stand up and leave when Wen Yichen immediately stopped me and said, "It's nothing. It's just a celebration party, so it's okay even if you're here. Relax!"
I saw that I had no way to get away, so I just sat down. I was originally quite disgusted with being with people I didn't know well, but Wen Yichen wouldn't let me leave, so I naturally had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.
While we were waiting for Li Wenxian, Wen Yichen not only heated up the charcoal, but also asked the servants to prepare a lot of cakes for me.
I used to like eating pastries very much, but there were no pastries from Beijing for sale in Yecheng, so I could never eat them.
When the pastries were served, I was completely shocked. I had no idea why there were pastries from Beijing here.
I ate voraciously, looking at Wen Yichen from time to time. Wen Yichen also saw my doubts from my eyes.
So Wen Yichen said: "Remember the first time we went to the battlefield, we spent a night in the desert halfway?"
I ate, unable to speak, but nodding my head frantically.
Wen Yichen immediately said: "You told me that day that you really liked to eat the cakes in the capital, but they were not sold here. I made a note of it that day."
I am still very curious after listening to it. I like it, but why would this chef appear here with Li Wenxian?
Wen Yichen saw me wolfing down the food, and was afraid that I would choke, so he handed me a glass of water. Then he continued: "So I asked Li Wenxian to hire a pastry chef from Beijing at a high price. Because I know you will have a chance to eat it. Whether we win or lose this war, I will keep you safe.
That day you came to Yecheng to heal your wounds. I asked Awen to come here, not only to borrow money, but also to try out the skills of the Beijing pastry chef to see if they were genuine. "
I wanted to cry while eating, firstly, I tasted the nostalgic taste here, and secondly, I didn't expect that he still missed me. Thinking about the scumbag I loved in my last life, I must eat more good food in this life.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open.
We turned around and saw Li Wenxian standing beside him, panting with exhaustion, Jin Ran standing in the middle, and a woman standing on the other side.
The woman was also pretty and didn't look like she was from Yecheng.
Li Wenxian looked at the cake in my hand and immediately started to joke: "How is it? This cake was made by a pastry chef who followed the standards given by my brother Chen, so it must taste good!"
I had a piece of pastry in my mouth, and I thought it would be bad to talk without swallowing it, so I forced myself to swallow it. Unexpectedly, I choked and coughed madly.
Li Wenxian asked Jin Ran and the woman to sit down. Wen Yichen handed me water and patted my back. It took him a while to recover.
Wen Yichen was a little surprised to see Jin Ran with a girl.
In Wen Yichen's memory, Jin Ran has never been interested in women. Jin Ran is also very good-looking, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and many girls are attracted to him.
However, Jin Ran never looked favorably upon those girls, even though those girls were pretty good-looking and had good family backgrounds.
Jin Ran saw the doubt in Wen Yichen's eyes and immediately said, "I'll tell you about her life story later! Isn't today a celebration party? We finally get together. After this separation, I don't know how long it will take for us to meet again. We must get drunk, okay?"
Li Wenxian nodded happily. Wen Yichen was still a little hesitant, and I was still beside him. He thought, if he got drunk, what should I do?
Wen Yichen immediately looked at me again. Li Wenxian naturally knew what Wen Yichen meant.
Li Wenxian patted his chest and said, "Our little lucky star, you can all sleep here today. Don't worry, you know my security system!"
Wen Yichen finally relaxed his worrying expression and said, "If I had known earlier, I would have bought a house in Yecheng. I wouldn't be left without a place to stay now."
Jin Ran, who was standing next to him, immediately said, "Aren't Wen Xian and I the place where you stay? If it weren't for this war, you probably wouldn't have come here in your life, right?"
Wen Yichen immediately said: "I don't dare to run to the border in the imperial city. If I am accused of a crime, I will be dead!"
The three of them smiled at each other.
After a while, the servant came to say that the food was ready. We immediately went to the dining room and looked at the table full of dishes, including dishes from the capital and dishes from Yecheng.
After we sat down, I picked up some Beijing dishes and tasted them. They were quite authentic. I sighed silently in my heart: Money really makes the world go round! I wonder how much money this Beijing chef was paid to come here to cook.
Besides, Li Wenxian doesn't know how to eat Beijing cuisine at all. This is his favorite Beijing cuisine, and he specially found it for this celebration banquet.
To be able to find a chef who can cook such authentic Beijing cuisine in such a short time, this superpower must be very powerful!
Every time I took a bite, I felt so happy. I hadn't eaten the food I wanted for several months, and today I finally got to eat it.
The three of them ate Yecheng cuisine. Wen Yichen himself could eat both dishes, but he still preferred Yecheng cuisine because it allowed him to find the taste of his childhood!
As the host of this event, Li Wenxian invited Wen Yichen and Jin Ran. Naturally, he raised his glass to invite everyone to drink and said, "This time, both sides can return to a peaceful state. Naturally, we should thank you two. This glass is for you two to celebrate for finally getting rid of the pain of the war between the two countries!"
The three of us raised our glasses and drank together. Then we had a second glass, and the second glass was drunk by the three of us. As Li Wenxian said, "It is fate that we can get together today. In the future, it is very likely that we will all become a family, so naturally we should raise our glasses and drink together!"
After drinking, I listened to their conversation quietly. Jin Ran said at this time: "Miss Luo, if I get drunk later, I'll trouble you to take care of the girl next to me. Brother Wen Xian doesn't have a good wife at home, so I'm troubling you!"
I naturally nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Jin, for your dedication in this war. Don't worry, I will naturally take good care of this girl."
Li Wenxian didn't know when a girl appeared next to Jin Ran. When he went to pick up Jin Ran, Jin Ran was taking care of this girl. Jin Ran didn't want to come at first, thinking about taking care of that girl.
Li Wenxian looked at Jin Ran and asked him to take the girls with him. I was here too, and Wen Yichen took me with him.
Jin Ran hesitated for a while before bringing the girl along to the appointment.
Li Wenxian wanted to continue asking about the girl's background, but Jin Ran spoke first: "Achen, how are you doing? Did Wen Yiheng find out about our relationship?"
Wen Yichen nodded and continued, "Of course. I don't have any evidence of him colluding with Jin Feng. I didn't expect them to be in collusion with each other. How's your side? Where's the old king?"
Jin Ran sighed and said, "I took away Jin Feng's military power and gave it to me. I handed over the evidence of Jin Xin's corruption. Father still feels a little uncomfortable. But his health has improved a lot in recent days. Jin Feng may take some action again."
Li Wenxian continued to pour the wine and said: "Brother Jin, can you inherit the throne of the King of Rong? If you can, the Rong tribe can be saved now!"
Jin Ran nodded, then shook his head and said, "Logically speaking, I am the only one who can inherit the position of the King of Rong, but who can tell what will happen in the future. You know, he allowed me to wander outside for so many years, and although he valued me after he came back, I still feel that something is fishy."
