"This plum garden is quite big. Wow, this plum tree is in full bloom. It's worthy of being the 'king of plums'! It smells so good. When I go back to the mountain, I will plant some in the yard." Yue'er Staring at the prosperous old plum tree in the plum garden, he sighed.

Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan looked at each other and smiled.

"Yue'er is indeed a person who grew up in the fairy mountain, with a pure heart. It would be great if Yue'er could stay here forever. With her here, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, laugh and talk, and life is so happy." Song Lan followed Yue'er Behind him, thinking silently.

"Why did the amber candy suddenly glow? Does this mean that Xue Yang has returned to the human world? Is he also in this jade city?..." Xiao Xingchen followed behind Song Lan, thinking silently.

"Hey, come and see, there is a plum grove here, it smells so good! It's even more beautiful than the 'King of Hundred Plums'." Yue'er waved at Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan from a distance, and shouted loudly.

"That's natural. This 'Money Green Calyx Plum' is the top grade selected by my father and carefully bred by using fairy methods." A young girl's voice floated over.

Yue'er followed the voice, her smile disappeared, and she snorted coldly, "It's you again?"

"It's me. It seems that we have similar visions, so our fate is not shallow." Xue Qing said with a smile, as if he didn't care about the competition for jade pendants in the jade shop just now.

Xue Qing looked at Ming Xiyue carefully, and said: "It seems that you don't look like the people of our Qingyu City, but you are pretty and have good eyesight. Why don't you come to my house for a banquet and have a drink?" She was very enthusiastic.

"Don't bother, we live outside the city, and we have to hurry back now." Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan just came over, and upon hearing their conversation, Xiao Xingchen quickly declined for Yue'er. He knew that Yue'er was a little angry.

"There's no trouble. Originally, this banquet is open to all the people in the city. Besides, there are a lot of delicacies and wines in my family's banquet, as well as singing and dancing performances. You will regret it if you don't come..." Xue Qing continued to persuade, He seemed a little displeased with Xiao Xingchen's rejection.

Yue'er's eyes lit up when she heard "delicacy and wine", and asked quickly, "What's delicious?"

Xue Qing smiled, and said while walking: "If you want to know, come with me."

Yue'er followed Xue Qing without hesitation.

Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan were stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook their heads, "Yue'er is indeed a real foodie!"

The Qingyumen banquet was held in an extremely large hall, the hall was resplendent and resplendent, full of voices, and the servant boys and maidservants of Qingyumen kept serving all kinds of wine, vegetables and fruits.

The three of Xiao Xingchen followed Xue Qingmai into the hall, and they were all a little surprised -- this was even more grand than the Lanling Jin family who spent money like water.

Xiao Xingchen looked up at the seat, a middle-aged man in green robe with a clear face was sitting in front of the plum blossom table. On the table was a vase with some plum branches stuck in it. The middle-aged man looked very elegant.

Xue Qing led the three of them to an empty seat in the front row. There were various fruits on the table, some of which Yueer had never seen before.

Yue'er picked up the small golden-yellow fruit on the plate in front of her, and muttered, "This orange hasn't grown up yet, so it must be very sour." No.She tossed it aside dissatisfied.Picking up another big green fruit that looked pretty, she took a bite, her little face wrinkled into a ball due to the sourness, and Song Lan quickly took a handkerchief to Yue'er to catch the green flesh that spit out.

"Haha, Sister Yue'er, this green fruit should be dipped in honey. Look, like this, cut into slices and dipped in honey to eat. And this small tangerine, just eat the peel directly, sour and sweet." Xue Xue Qing smiled and showed Yue'er a demonstration.

Only then did Yue'er suddenly realize that she took the fruit that Xue Qing had made and tasted it, "Sure enough, it's much more delicious after making it like this. And the more you eat, the better it tastes, and it seems to have a fragrance in your mouth. What are these two kinds of fruits called?"

"This little golden-yellow fruit is called kumquat. It tastes sour and sweet when eaten raw. After pickling it with sugar, it is preserved fruit, which is also delicious. This green fruit is called carambola. Most people wait for it to turn yellow before eating it. It tastes sour and sweet. I like it." Eat green ones, dip in some honey, it will be sweet, sour, astringent and fragrant, and the taste will be richer." Xue Qing patiently explained to Yue'er.

"Oh, interesting." Yue'er looked at the fruits in front of her with a smile.

The servants of the Xue family brought up the hot food and wine again, filling the whole table.

Looking at the dishes on the table, Yue'er couldn't help sighing, "As you said, it's very rich. It's the right time." After speaking, she began to eat happily.

Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan also relaxed to eat their food.

Afterwards, a few dancers came up from the hall of Xue's house and started dancing. The banquet was really lively with delicious food, silk and bamboo orchestra.

In the middle of the banquet, Xue Yang came in with a woman in green clothes, and everyone greeted them. After passing by Xue Qing's table, Xue Qing stood up slightly and said hello, "Brother, sister-in-law."

Xue Yang and his wife nodded in response, then walked to the stage and sat at the side table.

Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan were surprised when they saw Xue Yang.

Seeing Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan's surprised expressions, Yue'er immediately put down her chopsticks and asked Xue Qing, "That's your brother, he's so handsome. Your sister-in-law is also so pretty, and they're a good match."

Xue Qing curled her lips and said, "My brother is naturally handsome and nice, but my sister-in-law is not good enough for my brother."

"Oh? How is she not worthy of your brother?" Yue'er asked again.

Xue Qing hesitated to speak, and finally sighed softly: "Look at her eyes."

Yue'er stared at Xue Yang's wife's eyes carefully, only to find that her eyes were dim, "Could she not see?" Yue'er said softly.

Xue Qing let out a "hmm", affirming Yue'er's guess.

Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan also stared at her for a while, and then looked at each other with complicated expressions, as if they were at a loss.

Yue'er asked again: "Your elder brother is the son of the mighty city lord, who looks so talented, why would he marry your sister-in-law?"

Xue Qing didn't shy away from it, and replied: "I don't know, I don't know where my brother found a blind woman. He brought home and said he wanted to marry her. My father naturally disagreed. My brother knelt in front of my father's study three Tiansanye... Then she became my sister-in-law. But my sister-in-law is smart and virtuous."

Yue'er glanced at Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan, she knew they were listening, she was asking them.

"Oh, so to speak, your brother is quite assertive and affectionate towards your sister-in-law, well, it's a pretty good love story." Yue'er praised, clapped her hands, and continued to eat.

Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan looked at each other in dismay, then looked away, as if letting go of their doubts, they lowered their heads and ate slowly.

Xiao Xingchen glanced at Xue Yang and his wife out of the corner of his eye. Xue Yang was serving soup to his wife, "It seems that the two of them are really in love... that's good, although Ah Jing's eyes are really blind, but Xue Yang is still there. Yang took good care of her..."

Mrs. Xue Yang drank the soup that Xue Yang served him, and smiled sweetly and beautifully. All the women at the banquet cast envious looks at her.

Xiao Xingchen felt a little sour all of a sudden, "When the three of us were together, Xue Yang actually took care of me and Ah Jing... If it wasn't for me, Ah Jing might not have died so badly... Xue Yang, you owe us , has been paid off, and when will I be able to pay off what I owe you?"
