Nie Feng had a smooth and successful life from a young age. Back in Jiangnan, everyone considered him one of the Four Great Talents of Jiangnan.

Unexpectedly, he found himself in a very sorry state upon arriving in Dongshan Prefecture.

It's all Zhou Wanwan's fault and her brothers' fault.

Nie Feng originally intended to tell these things to Madam Nie Madam Nie, but then he thought, what difference would it make even if he did?

This Zhou Wanwan is definitely not an ordinary kid, otherwise they wouldn't have lost so badly.

How can a 6-year-old child be this capable?

As Nie Feng walked back, he said:

"That's not right! She's only 6 years old and already this amazing. When she gets older, who will be her match?"

No, I have to find a way to get rid of her, but Zhou Wanwan, especially those ropes around her.

I always felt something was strange, what exactly was that thing?

His servant shook his head and said:

"At the time, I originally intended to use a dagger to cut the ropes."

"We tried cutting for half an hour, but the rope didn't budge."

Nie Feng frowned and said:

"Then we have to take it slow; we can't rush things when dealing with her."

Anyway, she's living in my house now, we have plenty of time to torment her."

Zhou Wanwan really wanted to eat sweet potatoes, and also wanted to roast some vegetables.

She's been eating too much meat lately and wants to change things up.

As soon as the barbecue grill was set up, rows of fresh vegetables were piled on top.

Eggplants, enoki mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, green beans, and potato slices were all freshly picked from the greenhouse. They sizzled and glistened with oil when laid out on the charcoal fire.

Just then, several figures climbed over the wall.

Gu Sinian walked at the front, followed by her three older brothers, and Shen Congrong at the back.

Their eyes all fell on the barbecue grill, then swept over Zhou Wanwan.

Shen Congrong walked forward with a smile, her eyes crinkling:

"Wanwan, are you having dinner? We bought a roast chicken, but we were worried you wouldn't have enough to eat here, so we came to check on you."

I didn't expect you to have a barbecue stall here! It smells delicious!

Zhou Wanwan looked up at them, her eyes filled with a smile, "Why are you all here?"

Gu Sinian sighed, his face full of helplessness:

It's because your older brothers don't trust you.

I heard that Madam Nie arranged a secluded courtyard for you. Everyone was worried that you might be mistreated, and they insisted on coming along to see for themselves.

Zhou Qingyan, standing to the side, interrupted:

"I don't know who was talking about it at home for the entire afternoon."

It's been said that Zhou Wanwan must have suffered a great deal of injustice here.

Zhou Qinghe couldn't help but joke:

"Someone insisted that Wanwan was too soft-hearted and would definitely suffer here, perhaps even not being able to eat properly."

It made us all so restless that we couldn't even eat our meals at home, so we bought a bunch of things and rushed over."

Shen Congrong sniffed and said:

"Oh my! These things smell so good! They're making me dizzy with the aroma."

"Isn't this a vegetable? It shouldn't smell this good, right?"

There were not only vegetables, but also some seafood.

It's still quite difficult for the average person to buy seafood these days.

But the trees under Zhou Wanwan's command often run to the seaside.

The roots of those trees are very extensive, forming a large net.

Then they threw them directly into the sea to catch seafood, some so that Zhou Wanwan could eat fresher seafood.

Those trees floated directly into the sea, and then the roots were used to scoop up seafood.

However, Zhou Wanwan originally wanted to change things up today, so she only prepared a few kinds of seafood.

Zhou Wanwan looked at Shen Congrong and said, "Not only are there vegetables, but also seafood. If you want some, just pay up."

Shen Congrong glared at her and said:

"Zhou Wanwan, how could you say such a thing?"

Given the current relationship between our two families, you still want money from me? How dare you?"

Zhou Wanwan glanced at him and said:

"Of course I'm here. You didn't come here today because you were worried about me."

"I just wanted to eat something good, do you think I didn't know?"

Shen Congrong cracked his knuckles and said:

"Hey! The lobster was just so delicious last time, how about you cook some for me?"

I'll give you the money, how about that?

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "Give me ten taels of silver, and I'll cook you a feast you've never had before. I guarantee you'll be completely satisfied."

In fact, Shen Congrong loved to eat. He swallowed hard, then pulled out ten taels of silver and said, "Don't try to fool me! If you dare to fool me, I'll never forgive you."

Zhou Wanwan rolled her eyes and said, "I wouldn't stoop so low as to fool you, Xing'an, prepare a lavish meal for him."

Zhou Wanwan led him directly to the pavilion and said, "There's fruit and fruit tea here, have some first."

Shen Congrong took a bite of the melon and exclaimed, "Tsk tsk tsk... This melon is so crisp and sweet!"

"Oh! You still have lychees here? This ten taels of silver is a good deal."

Zhou Wanwan raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Just kidding, you've hit the jackpot, okay?"

Not long after, the Old Scholar Tree personally had a basket of seafood carried over.

The basket contained several large Australian lobsters with plump meat, as well as pomfret, small yellow croaker, scallops, and oysters—all top-quality items.

Zheng Xing'an arranged the seafood on the grill one by one, and then served it with garlic vermicelli.

Before long, the grill was Manman.

Once everything was grilled and served, the table was piled high with seafood and various vegetables, the aroma of which was Manman and made one's mouth water.

Shen Congrong was the first to pick up a piece of roasted Australian lobster, took a big bite, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement:

Wow, this lobster is so delicious!

The meat is so tender and bouncy, bursting with fresh flavor—it's absolutely amazing!

He also tried grilled oysters, garlic scallops, and grilled yellow croaker, praising each dish highly.

"These oysters are very tender, and they don't have any fishy smell at all."

"This small yellow croaker is grilled to a perfect crispy exterior and tender interior, it smells amazing!"

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said, "How about it? Wasn't I generous enough? Here, try this wine."

Shen Congrong took a sip of wine and said, "Wow! Zhou Wanwan, this wine is amazing! I've never tasted such delicious wine before."

This wine was brewed by Zhao Qingxi, so it's naturally very delicious.

Now this wine is also starting to be sold in the capital.

Shen Congrong took a big gulp and couldn't help but praise:

"Fine wine, the azure sea is plump and reflects the firelight, the golden goblet of fine wine enters the throat and intestines."

Why seek true joy in this world? Just lie drunk in the Qingfeng and laugh it off.

Haha! Zhou Wanwan, I want to become sworn brothers with you! From now on, you'll be my older brother and I'll be your younger brother. Please accept me!

Zhou Wanwan chuckled, and Zhou Qingchen, standing beside her, twitched his lips and said:

"Father-in-law, are you drunk?"

If you were to become my sister's younger brother, what would I call you?

Shen Congrong was indeed somewhat drunk. He stood up unsteadily and said:

"I feel really comfortable and happy today, hahaha..."

Fine wine, delicious food, the moon, and a close friend—what more could one ask for in life?

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "Shen Congrong's alcohol tolerance is really too low. Don't give him any more alcohol next time."

Then Nie Shi'an walked in from outside, accompanied by a servant. He looked around the courtyard and said:

"Heh! You're really something, little girl. I thought you had no food, so I brought you some."

And here you are, drinking and having fun. Did you come here to enjoy yourself?
