After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

A daughter of the Xu family, unfamiliar, unknown name - the woman's expression changed drastically after hearing the comments from the eldest son of the Xu family. Just as she was about to attack, she heard the sound of footsteps behind her.

The footsteps sounded like the sound of soft cloth shoes rolling on the ground. The steps were slow, but in the blink of an eye, the person had appeared at the door. He walked slowly and leisurely, reminding, "This distinguished guest... everyone here is a distinguished guest of my houseboat. Please, for the sake of my master, be harmonious."

The man spoke slowly, with clear enunciation, a smile on his face, and a few subtle warnings.

The daughter of the Xu family was obviously unhappy. She pointed at Wen Xiaobai, who was dozing in Yuan Ge's arms, and sneered, "You are standing up now and talking about peace being the most valuable. Why didn't you come out to stop this stupid dog from howling just now?"

Stupid dog? Young Master Jin rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush forward, but was held back by Xu Chengjin, who shook his head at him. This waiter looked like a martial artist, with a fake smile on his face and neither humble nor arrogant. I don't know where the owner of this pleasure boat came from, so it's better not to cause trouble on his territory for the time being.

The waiter remained calm, bowed, and chuckled, saying, "You said it, my dear guest, it's just a dog. How can a person reason with a dog, right?"

Before the woman was about to speak, a deep voice came from next door, "Yiyi, stop making trouble and come back." From the tone, it sounded casual, very similar to the way Yuan Ge called Wen Xiaobai just now. It was indeed Qin Yongpei's voice.

After all, that woman was afraid of the Second Prince next door. She snorted coldly, glanced at the crowd, and said "a mob" before leaving with a proud look on her face. When she went out, she swept the waiter at the door with her wide sleeves, turned around and snorted again, saying "bullying others with your power"... In short, there was no one present that she liked. Wen Xiaobai used all his limbs to turn over and climbed up, and was about to shout, but when he noticed the force on his head had obviously increased, he shut his mouth in annoyance and lay down on his belly again.

The waiter didn't care at all. He just bent down with a smile and said, "Dear guests, the dishes for you have arrived." After saying that, he stepped back half a step, revealing the servant who was carrying the tray behind him.

Yuan Ge's eyes were stern, and he looked at Song Wenyuan in surprise: When did these people come here? He didn't even hear any footsteps.

Song Wenyuan also shook his head calmly. At that time, he only noticed the footsteps of one person... It seems that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers on this pleasure boat.

The four people came in silently, placed a plate in front of each person, and left silently. Only the waiter was still standing at the door, explaining each dish gently and politely, "This dish in front of you, Mr. Xu, is an appetizer, pickled carrots... My cook said, I love these coral chopsticks, which are as good as white jade plates."

Xu Chengjin was slightly stunned and subconsciously glanced at Yuan Ge.

Young Master Jin stretched his neck to look at his, then at his own, frowning with a hint of dissatisfaction, "After all, there is a dish in front of him, what is this of mine? A snack after dinner?"

The waiter nodded again, "Honey fried olives... the aftertaste is long and sweet."

"What the hell?" Young Master Jin, who had nothing on his mind and an empty head, was annoyed by these flowery things. He pointed at what was in front of Song Wenyuan and said, "What about him? Why is there a crab in front of him? Is it because he spent more money and I spent less? Your cook only serves dishes to different people!"

The waiter looked really good-tempered, and he seemed to be wearing a thick human skin mask, so that his expression lagged behind his emotions. He bent down slightly and reached for the crab stuffed with orange in front of Song Wenyuan. "Crab stuffed with orange, the crab claws are plump and the orange is used to remove the fishy smell. It is the most delicious and beautiful dish."

Yuan Ge propped up his chin and looked at Song Wenyuan. He looked at the light and shadows cast by the sunlight coming in from the window and fell on his face. With a smile in his eyes, he said jokingly, "I suspect your cook has taken a fancy to my husband. But the dish in front of him is the real meal. As for the last sentence, is it an evaluation of him as a person?"

Song Wenyuan tilted his head and touched her head, as if to comfort Wen Xiaobai, and said with a meaningful smile, "It's all yours."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the bandit Yuan Da Wang turned his head away in shame, changed the subject and deliberately made things difficult, wanting to see the true face under the mask, "What about mine? I am only fit to eat vegetarian food?"

But the waiter still had the same expression, "Three crispy dishes of the mountain family, with tender bamboo shoots, small mushrooms, and wolfberry heads blanched in salt water, seasoned with sesame oil, pepper, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar, it is naturally fresh and delicious. This dish of your distinguished guest is not simple... The cook said that the delicacies of the world are never despised, and the taste of the mountains and forests is sweet. The most precious thing in life is to be free and happy. She felt that she was compatible with her distinguished guest, and she thought that the distinguished guest must share the same aspirations as her."

The most valuable thing in life is to be free and happy.

Yuan Ge's eyes were filled with laughter, and the initial sense of being a victim disappeared. He raised the teacup and said, "Everyone says this is a cook with a temper, but I think she is a cook with personality... I'll use tea instead of wine to toast your cook, and please ask the waiter to say hello."

The waiter nodded and said hello, with a smile that was obviously more friendly. He bent down slightly and said, "Today's dishes have been served to you, my dear guest. Please enjoy your meal." After that, he closed the curtain and walked out.

During the meal, apart from the initial farce, Young Master Jin was still brooding over his "big loss dish". As for those fancy things, he threw them out of his mind with disdain. Song Wenyuan's crab stuffed with oranges originally had four pieces. After finishing his own portion, Young Master Jin quickly snatched the one in front of Xu Chengjin, which was quite satisfying... Although, Young Master Jin said that even so, it was still a big loss.

Miss Yuan agreed with this - the food was indeed delicious, and the dining environment was also very good, with pleasant music and graceful dancing. If someone like Qin Yongpei came up with his new love to eat, listen to music and express his love, he would be happy to do so. But for people like them who came here purely out of curiosity to satisfy their appetite, it was really too expensive.

Although she didn't pay any money, Miss Yuan still felt the pain.

I had originally thought of meeting the cook, whom I felt I got along well with, before leaving, but she refused to meet me and only said that we would meet again if we were destined to do so.

It's so close, isn't this fate enough? Miss Yuan didn't understand, but she didn't force it. They strolled around on the first deck, and when they saw the pleasure boat approaching the shore, they got off the boat with some boredom. They didn't see a woman in a light blue dress with silver silk standing behind the window on the second floor of the pleasure boat.

The woman was over twenty years old, without any makeup on, her complexion was as crystal clear as jade, and there was a kind of flamboyant beauty between her facial features. Her black hair was casually tied into a loose bun, with a hairpin of the same color inserted diagonally, which made her look casual yet elegant.

She leaned against the window, calm and relaxed, watching several people go down the wooden ladder to the shore with a smile in her eyes.

The waiter who had just announced the dishes was standing behind her. Seeing that she was in a good mood, he also smiled and said, "The host seems to like that Miss Wen very much."
