Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

Uncle Da had ordered people to set up a family banquet in the main hall outside. Everyone sat down at different tables. Cloud cakes were placed in front of everyone. Hongze also cut the roasted lamb leg into small pieces and put them all on Anan's plate. He lowered his head and took a sip of wine, muttering to himself, "Abo, see, Anan has found a good home."

After three rounds of drinks, everyone who was originally a little restrained gradually relaxed.

The two uncles and the sister were talking about what they had seen and heard in the palace, while the two aunts were discussing how the small single low table in front of them was actually made of the finest golden nanmu wood, and the cups and plates on the table were all from the finest official kiln, and they were all amazed.

Xiao Fu came over and sat next to Anan, hugging his neck and whispering to him, drinking and giggling. Anan looked at her lovingly and smiled the whole time, and as long as Xiao Fu raised her glass, he would drink with her generously.

Yuan Yi sat at the very end, with his fiancée Jinxuan sitting next to him. Their faces were red, and they didn't look at each other the whole time. They sat straight and proper, a little stiff, especially Jinxuan, who even pulled the hem of her skirt neatly, as if she was afraid of getting stained.

Hongze had never expected that the family dinner would be so enjoyable. There was no hypocrisy of polite greetings, no step-by-step testing, no artificial embellishment, but only frank words, mutual banter, and a few words of gossip, which was full of joy. Even if there was no word, he was still happy physically and mentally in the middle of it. He secretly reached out and held Anan's hand, gently stroking her palm.

She looked back at him, her cheeks flushed, her eyes shining, her nose slightly wrinkled, just like a coquettish cat.

He also laughed and drank a glass of wine.

"My nephew!" Zhang never cared about empty formalities. Today, she was a little drunk and even more generous. She simply walked to Hongze's table, raised a finger, looked at the table and said to him, "I'm determined to be your brother!"

Xiao Fu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Second aunt, we should first clarify the generations. Is he the eldest nephew or a brother?"

"It doesn't matter!" Zhang was a little impatient. She waved her sleeves casually, patted his shoulders twice, and said loudly, "I think your yard is really nice! I originally wanted to give Tingyu Tower to you, but now it seems that our family is superficial!"

After saying that, she was a little shaky, so she simply held Hongze's shoulders and sat down beside him, smiling and saying, "Now that you have a house and other things, your aunt will give you some good things!"

He said so, but didn't say what the gift was specifically. He just winked at Anan mysteriously.

Under such gentle lighting, her blatant statement was a bit overwhelming for Anan, who smiled and said to her, "It's great here, there's nothing missing, so don't worry, aunt!"

"Don't worry, what my aunt takes out must be the best personal collection!" she said, and then looked at Hongze and smiled.

Yuan Ruoyun saw that his wife was drunk, so he hurried forward to pull her away, and said to Yuan Ruofeng with a smile: "Brother, let's go. One of us is already drunk. If another one gets drunk, I'm afraid the roof of the carriage will be overturned by them."

Yuan Ruofeng glanced at Xiao Fu, whose eyes were clearly blurry, and stood up and said to Hong Ze with a smile, "Master Hong, we'll go back first."

He quickly stood up and bowed to stand beside the Yuan brothers.

Because they were in a hurry to go out, they didn't bring any maids with them. Only Li Ma was with Yuan Ruolan. Seeing that Xiao Fu was already drunk and there was no maid in their house, she hurried forward to pull Xiao Fu up and hugged her. Then she looked down and saw that An Nan was also a little drunk, so she frowned and asked subconsciously: "Miss, are you drunk too? Can you still walk?"
