C13 What about the Delicious Food That We Agreed On?
Someone had come to deliver the meal. Tang Yue didn’t have to worry about his clothes and hair anymore. He was sure that there would be a lot of delicious food and wine in the Marquis’s Mansion. He wanted to comfort his stomach. He had suffered all the way here.
“Yue’er, come quickly. I’m waiting for you.” Yueyang Marquis was in a good mood. He knelt on the main seat and waved at Tang Yue. He looked at his son, who looked completely new. He stroked his beard and laughed. “Very energetic! My son is very graceful. He has defeated most of the famous scholars in Ye City.”
Only then did Tang Yue know what the two words he did not recognize outside the city gate were. He smiled modestly. “Father is too kind.”
He thought to himself, “Are you really not praising yourself? With such an ordinary face, you dare to boast. If you say it, you will be laughed at.
“Come, come over to Grandma’s side.” The old madam was very kind to her only grandson. The smile on her face was very deep, and it could be seen that she was really happy.
Tang Yue didn’t want to get to the bottom of what these people meant to him. Now, he was eating the Marquis’s Mansion. She was wearing Marquis’s Mansion clothes. He still couldn’t pass down his family to Marquis’s Mansion. No matter how he looked at it, Yueyang Marquis’s Mansion was at a disadvantage.
Tang Yue sat under the old madam. Opposite him were seven beautiful sisters. The oldest was fifteen years old and the youngest was only three years old. All of them sat upright and straight. They showed good etiquette and education.
It was really strange that not a single one of Yueyang Marquis’s seven daughters looked like him. All of them had inherited the good looks of their birth mother. It was unknown how many virtues they had accumulated in their previous lives.
In this era, there were not many men and women who were wary of each other. Women were not restricted when they went out to the streets. They could take the initiative to pursue any man they liked. It was not strange for a widow to marry again. Therefore, there was no need to set up a screen in the middle of a meal.
Tang Ya rolled her eyes at Tang Yue. Tang Yue smiled at her. It was normal for a teenage girl to be a little willful. It would be strange if she could calm down when facing her brother who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Tang Ya snorted softly and turned her head away from Tang Yue.
Tang Yue smiled gently at the other sisters as well. Looking at their cute blushing faces, he felt like his heart was going to melt.
Tang Yue was an only child. He had no brothers or sisters. Ever since he realized his sexual orientation, he knew that it was impossible for him to have children in this lifetime. When he was young, it didn’t matter if he had children or not. As he grew older, he liked children more and more.
In this life, he had gained seven beautiful sisters for nothing. Tang Yue decided to protect them one by one. This could be considered as repayment to the original owner and the family.
Tang Yue felt pain in his knees after just a few minutes. He was a modern person and was not used to kneeling like this. He maintained a smile on his face and moved his legs slightly.
“Let’s have the meal. Yue’er must be hungry.” Marquis’s Wife looked over lovingly and ordered people to serve the dishes.
Every time the dishes were served, Tang Yue’s expression would stiffen a little. Where was the precious seafood that they had agreed on? What about the delicacies? What about the traditional delicacies?
The small brick table in front of him was filled to the brim. A bowl of slightly yellow rice, a bowl of vegetable soup, and the rest were all meat! And all of them were roasted meat!
Oh heavens, can I get him some other food? He would rather have a plate of white sliced meat in front of him and some sauce.
Seeing that he had not done anything and was staring at the table, Yueyang Marquis thought that he had never eaten such good food before. He was shocked and felt a little sour in his heart, “Hurry up and eat it. If it’s not enough, let’s eat again.”
Tang Yue came back to his senses and thought speechlessly, “If we don’t have enough food for such a big table, he can be compared to a pig.
He picked up his rice bowl and started to eat. The rice was a little hard, but it was very fragrant when chewed. The soup was very light, so there shouldn’t be any salt added to it. Tang Yue could only taste the chicken and pork in each plate. He didn’t know what other types of food were, but the taste was not bad. It was not as horrible as he imagined.
The three people on the main seat had been paying attention to Tang Yue. They saw that he was neither in a hurry nor in a slow pace when eating. Although there were some indecent manners, he showed some elegance. He didn’t look like an ignorant country boy.
The old mistress secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Although the inheritance of a child was very important, if her grandson was too frustrated, she would not be able to bring him out.
Yueyang Marquis vaguely recalled the woman he once deeply loved. It was as if he still remembered those simple and pure eyes, as well as those peaceful and beautiful days.
Marquis’s Wife did not have such a good mood. Originally, she thought that he was a weak and incompetent wild brat who could be easily crushed by her. But now, it seemed that he was not that easy to bully!
