“Thank you all for coming to our wedding, the banquet is ready, please move to the courtyard!”

Finally the wedding ceremony was done successfully, Yan Shengrui supported Ling Jingxuan to turn back and made a ‘please’ gesture to the guests. The servants all came in one by one and then brought the guests to their seats. Under the leading of Zhang Qing and his brother, soon all dishes were served in the central room. The old man of Wang family, Wang Jinfu, Ling Chenglong and Ling Jinghan, the magistrate, Chu Ci and Zeng Shaoqing, and the new couple. Ten of them shared one table. And others were all arranged to sit outside. The female guests, male guests and the kids sat separately. Lady Wang and her sister served those female guests, anyhow, they were also people from Wang family. And Zhao&Han couple was responsible for the male guests. Of course, serves those kids was the two little bun’s job.

About who sat on the main seat, inevitably there’d be different opinions. With the magistrate here, who else would dare to sit there? But Hu Lizhi also scrupled of Zeng Shaoqing, and now Zeng Shaoqing was under someone’s concern now. Finally Chu Yunhan solved this tough problem. He pushed the new couple to sit on the main seat. Today was their big day. Who was bigger than them?

Yan Shengrui and Ling Jingxuan also didn’t stand on ceremony, they directly sat down.

The variety of exquisite dishes were served on the table, many of which even Zeng Shaoqing didn’t know their names. After tasting it, he finally knew why Ling Jingxuan had the confidence to come to cooperate with him and even asked for commission from his Xinyuan. Forget about other dishes, only that mandarin fish, its shape was already pretty enough, the green vegetables around added the finishing touch to it, making one have great appetite on seeing it. And the sour and sweet taste was also awesome, and there seemed to be some kind of fruit’s flavor in it. Zeng Shaoqing could say he had tried almost all the delicious food in the world, but he still couldn’t tell what it was in it.

“Shengrui, Jingxuan, I wish you a happy wedding again! May you harmonious and happy!”

“Thank you, Magistrate Hu. Sorry, my grandpa and parents never saw and official before. Now on seeing you, they are still not adapted to it. If there’s anything they don’t to properly, hope you wouldn’t mind!”

Hu Lizhi was a respectable official. Today he specially came to give him face, of course he would show him enough respect. While speaking so, he secretly threw a kick at Yan Shengrui. Outside he was the prince, but in this house, he was only his man. So he’d better drop his high-holding manner.

“Magistrate Hu, please!”

Receiving his wife’s hint, Yan Shengrui who didn’t mean to talk to him helplessly took up a wine glass.

“Jingxuan, you are being too polite. Everyone, don’t stick to those formalities. I’d like to have fun together with you! So, just take me as a common person.”

Speaking of which, Hu Lizhi raised his head and drank it all, but…

“What kind of wine is this? How does it taste so different from what we usually drink?”

It was not until this time that he found that the taste of the wine actually had a little sour feeling. Hu Lizhe quickly poured a cup for himself and carefully observed that the white wine mixed with a hint of red color. If you don’t look carefully, you can’t see it at all.

After he said that, Zeng Shaoqing and Chu Yunhan also took up the wine cup and took a small sip, spicy taste mixed with a slice of acerb feeling, quite well improved the taste of it, a bit milder than common alcohol, but a bit stronger than wine. Chu Yunhan had been here for a few months and he drank wine as much as he wanted and Ling Jingxuan never said no or what. But this kind of alcohol was the first time to try. If wine was only suitable for women, this was suitable for men.

“Hehe…this is waxberry wine. When I started to make jam, I accidentally found a waxberry tree in the mountain forest. Unfortunately, the picking season had passed, so I only picked some of them and soaked them in two jars of alcohol. I was so busy with my work recently that I almost forgot about them.”

He picked it when he went to mountains to pick wild fruit with Ling Jingpeng for the first time. At the time this home was still…Thinking of those awful things, Ling Jingxuan’s eyes flashed, then he used those jars for grape wine to soak them.

“Waxberry?”

Zeng Shaoqing picked his eyebrows, why didn’t he know there is a kind of fruit called waxberry?

“It’s a kind of sour and a little bite bitter fruit, can be used to make dried fruit, and the waxberry alcohol can help relieve summer heat and cleanse the palate, also has significant efficacy on digestion, dehumidification, promoting the secretion of saliva, relieving a cough, keeping out the old, relieving diarrhea, diuretic, and preventing cholera and other things. I specially planted waxberry woods in my backyard. If you like, when they bear fruit the next year, I will make more waxberry alcohol.”

Actually he made it with rice wine, so it tasted not as good as what was made with sorghum alcohol. Seeing that they were all so interested, Ling Jingxuan took the opportunity to advertise for himself.

“Taste is not bad, next year I help you purchase bayberries, you are responsible for making it, you can name the price then.”

With his professional vision, the waxberry wine would absolutely sell. Zeng Shaoqing was worthy of a businessman, talk shop all the time, but…

“No, I already have some other plan next year. If you are interested, I will come talk to you about our cooperation thing.”
