Rebirth of the Princess Pearl

The sunlight shone through the windows of the reception building onto everyone, creating a warm atmosphere. The house was bustling with laughter and joy.

Dong'er looked at Liu Mengli with some admiration, and said loudly: "Aunt Mengli, look at how you live your life, it's really enjoyable, it makes people envy you! Your family's medicine shop has such a prosperous business, I believe that your uncle and grandfather's medical skills must be extremely superb, that can be called a miracle doctor, it's really admirable!"

Liu Mengli smiled and waved her hands, saying, "Oh, Dong'er, you are not exaggerating as you say. However, the medical skills of father-in-law and husband are indeed quite good. They can help everyone to see the disease and so on."

Nan'er echoed from the side, her tone full of envy: "That's right, Aunt Mengli, just listening to it makes me feel so great. I hope they will always be healthy and make the medicine shop business more prosperous! Don't overwork yourself!"

Liu Mengli smiled and nodded, saying, "Haha, Nan'er's little mouth is as sweet as honey! Don't worry, they all know how to take care of themselves. But how are you guys doing?"

When Xiaoyanzi heard this, she immediately perked up and said loudly, "My precious girl, we are living quite well! You don't know, but we had a lot of fun in the palace before! For example, last time I learned to make cakes, my goodness, they looked so ugly, but they tasted pretty good. Nan'er and Dong'er both enjoyed them very much, haha!"

Nan'er also laughed and said, "Yes, Aunt Mengli, although the cakes made by my mother look ugly, they taste really good. I even teased her and said that if she sold them, people would probably not dare to buy them just by looking at the appearance, haha!"

Liu Mengli also laughed out loud and said, "Haha, Sister Xiaoyanzi, you are still the same, always in a hurry to do anything. But as long as you can make delicious food, it doesn't matter whether it looks good or not!"

Ziwei also smiled and said, "That's right. Xiaoyanzi always comes up with something new. Last time in the Imperial Garden, she heard that the Emperor was going to plant new flowers and plants, and she was so excited that she ran every day to see if they had started planting. She looked so anxious, just like a child looking forward to the New Year. It was so interesting!"

Erkang also laughed and joked: "Haha, Xiaoyanzi's temper really can't wait. If she is made to wait for too long, she will probably get sick!"

Xiaoyanzi snorted and said, "Humph! Erkang, you only know how to criticize me. Have you forgotten the last banquet? You are still troubled by all the etiquette, humph!"

When Erkang heard this, he waved his hands and said, "Oh, Xiaoyanzi, don't mention that. It really made me so upset. It's better to be at home in the guest house. Everyone can say whatever they want. It's so refreshing!"

Liu Qing smiled and said, "Haha, that's right. The guest house is a place for everyone to relax. We made a lot of noise here back then. Now when I think about it, I really miss it!"

Liu Hong also nodded and said, "Yes, although there were some bumps in the road back then, it was always lively and happy when we were together. It's not like now, when everyone is busy with their own things and there are fewer opportunities to get together."

When Xiaoyanzi heard this, she immediately said, "Oh, Liuhong, we have to get together more often in the future. Don't let our relationship fade away. I can't bear to let you go!"

Ziwei also nodded and said, "Yes, we should find opportunities to get together more often in the future. It would be nice for us to chat about family matters and reminisce about the past."

Liu Mengli smiled and said, "Well, I'll have to come more often in the future to join in the fun. It's great to be able to reminisce with everyone. It feels like I'm back to the lively atmosphere of the past."

At this time, the waiter at Huibinlou brought a pot of new tea, steaming hot.

Nan'er asked curiously, "This tea looks very special, what kind of tea is it?"

The waiter smiled and replied, "This is the new Rain-Previous Longjing tea this year. It tastes very fresh and mellow. Gentlemen and ladies, please try it."

Dong'er's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he said, "Haha, Longjing before the Rain! This is a rare good tea. I'm lucky enough to taste it today. It's really good. Let me try it and see what's so good about this tea!" Dong'er poured himself a cup of tea, picked up the cup, first sniffed the tea fragrance, then drank it all in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and praised loudly, "Well! This tea is really extraordinary, with a rich fragrance and a mellow taste. It's worthy of being Longjing before the Rain. Wonderful!"

Upon seeing this, everyone poured themselves some tea and started tasting it. For a moment, the entire guest house was filled with the aroma of tea, and everyone started chatting about the tea.

Xiaoyanzi took a sip of tea, frowned and said, "Oh, why do I feel that this tea is a bit bitter? The tea I usually drink is better, huh!"

Ziwei smiled and said, "Little Swallow, this is what Longjing tea tastes like before the rain. You have to taste it more to appreciate its beauty."

Erkang also laughed and said, "Haha, Xiaoyanzi, your taste is still too popular. You have to taste this good tea slowly. You can't just gulp it down like you drink water."

Xiaoyanzi snorted and said, "Humph! I just don't think it tastes good, but seeing that you all are drinking it so happily, I'll try it too."

As she spoke, Xiaoyanzi took another sip of tea. This time she didn't say anything, but just continued to savor it with a frown.

Liu Mengli smiled and said, "Actually, this tea is just like our lives. It may feel a little bitter at first, but as you savor it slowly, you will discover the beauty in it."

When everyone heard this, they all thought it made sense and nodded in agreement.

Just when everyone was chatting enthusiastically, there was a sudden noise outside the guest building.

Little Swallow stood up curiously, walked to the window and looked out, muttering, "Huh? Why is it so noisy outside? What happened?"

Everyone stood up and looked out the window, only to see a group of people gathered at the entrance of the reception building, seemingly arguing about something.

Liu Qing frowned and said, "What's going on? Why are they quarreling in front of our hotel? I'll go check it out!"

Having said that, Liu Qing walked quickly towards the door, and everyone followed behind him, wanting to see what was going on.
