Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 254 Three Big Shots
Mr. Shen is very knowledgeable. I had heard of him before, but I had never met him. After meeting him once last time, I have even greater respect for him.

All three of them are passionate about learning, and once they sit together, they simply can't stop talking.

Hui Niang didn't stay long because her family was also making dumplings, and she went home soon after.

Xu Qingmeng and her group were numerous and worked quickly, finishing the wrapping in no time.

She looked at the dumplings she had already made, and realized there were enough for her family, so she stopped making more. However, she still cooked a few side dishes, all of which were quite light, and also scooped out some kimchi.

The dishes were cooked, and the dumplings were already in the pot. When Xu Qingmeng was kneading the dough and preparing the filling, she also had the servants with her. After all, it was the Little New Year, and the Gu family was not stingy. So they instructed Aunt Lin and the others to wrap the rest, and they would all eat dumplings today.

"Today is the Little New Year, so make a lot more dumplings. If you don't have enough dough, make some more. After you've cooked them, send some to the workshop and the hot pot restaurant."

"Okay, young lady."

Xu Qingmeng went to the front yard to greet the guests and prepare for dinner.

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziheng wanted to call Xiao Yuanbao back, but Gu Yunyi grabbed him and said, "Let's eat here. They're all dumplings! Look, Xiao Yuanbao is drooling over those colorful wheat-ear dumplings."

Upon seeing this, Mrs. He quickly said, "That's right, let's eat together. This is fresh out of the pot and still hot. Yours probably isn't ready yet. Look, Xiao Yuanbao is already hungry."

Just like Yun Sheng, Xiao Yuanbao was staring at the dumplings on the table.

Mr. Shen then invited him to stay and have something to eat with them.

Fang Ziheng couldn't refuse, and seeing Xiao Yuanbao's expression, he had no choice but to agree.

Just as everyone sat down, the gatekeeper came over.

"Young master, a guest has arrived..."

Gu Yunyi was clearly taken aback. Who was this at this hour? And the gatekeeper was trembling with fear.

Xu Qingmeng and the others also looked outside with great confusion.

She paused for a moment, then got up and walked out. Madam He asked, "Who came here? Why are you so scared?"

The doorman swallowed hard and glanced back at the door, but before he could speak, everyone noticed that there were three people beside Gu Yunyi.

Pei Cheng, Prefect Kang Hongxuan, and Education Commissioner Zhang Hanzhe.

Everyone was stunned. What was going on? How did they manage to bring together the three giants of the prefecture city just for the Lunar New Year?

To put it bluntly, these three people don't have much connection with the Gu family. The only one they've seen recently is Zhang Hanzhe, Lord Zhang, but that's only because of Mr. Shen.

General Pei of Peicheng and Prefect Kang Hongxuan only met a few times.

At this moment, Pei Cheng looked as if he hadn't slept for several nights. His eyes were bloodshot, and he exuded a chilling aura. He was holding a large string of meat in his hand, which was still dripping blood.

Pei Cheng was the kind of person with a strong presence, and now he was dressed in black with a knife at his waist, looking like a demon who had appeared out of nowhere, completely out of place with the two people next to him.

No wonder the gatekeeper was trembling with fear; even Xu Qingmeng was stunned. He Shi, however, wasn't nervous for the first time and even felt a sense of familiarity, which she found strange, and she stood there dumbfounded.

Gu Yunyi, on the other hand, was completely at ease, standing beside the three big shots without being ignored.

"Mother, Mengniang, the officials have arrived."

Xu Qingmeng and the others realized what was happening and quickly bowed and greeted the group.

Pei Cheng froze on the spot when he saw Madam He.

Kang Hongxuan pulled him aside and whispered, "What are you standing there for?" Among the three, he held the highest position, and if he didn't say anything, who would dare to make a move?

Pei Cheng then came to his senses and waved his hand, saying, "No need for formalities."

“Some soldiers were hunting outside the city and caught some wild game, including a lot of wild boar and venison. I’ll give some to you to try, sir.”

Zhang Hanzhe said, "I originally wanted to spend the Lunar New Year with you, but these two are so shameless that they insisted on coming along. When we arrived, we found out that you were here. Sorry to bother you, Madam Shen."

"Don't mention it. Please come inside."

Gu Yunyi had a servant take the meat from General Pei's hands and invited the group to sit inside.

Gu Yunyi knew they were having hot pot that night, so he said, "General, you're too kind. We're planning to have hot pot tonight, so we can all have some together. Please stay and have dinner with us. The dumplings are fresh out of the pot, so please sit down and try them."

The group first greeted Mr. Shen, and then sat down next to him.

Mr. Shen was very surprised. Zhang Hanzhe had clearly said that he didn't have time before the Lunar New Year, but now he had brought the other two people to the Gu family as well, which was very strange.

Of course, Mr. Shen knew both of them. Although he had never dealt with Pei Cheng, the Pei family was no ordinary family in the capital, and the current head of the Pei family was a favorite of the emperor.

Pei Cheng is a direct descendant of the Pei family, the youngest son of the current head of the family, and is now highly valued by the Emperor. Mr. Shen also knows Kang Hongxuan. But these three people... especially Pei Cheng, when he first saw Madam He, made Mr. Shen a little confused.

After the bigwigs sat down, the others hesitated to sit and froze for a moment.

However, this did not include Yun Sheng, Yun Mo, and Xiao Yuanbao. Yun Sheng even said the moment she looked at Pei Cheng, "Mom, look, that uncle looks a bit like my second brother?"

Although Yun Sheng's voice wasn't loud, since no one else was speaking at the moment, everyone heard it. Then, they all looked back and forth between Pei Cheng and Yun Mo.

Yunmo then looked up at Pei Cheng and said, "I don't look like him at all. I'm so cute, that uncle looks scary. How are we the same?"

Yun Sheng retorted, unconvinced, "How is it different, Second Brother? When you get angry, you're exactly the same as you are now!"

He Shi, Gu Yunyi, and Xu Qingmeng were all stunned. They had initially thought Yun Sheng was joking, but now they were truly dumbfounded!
Pei Cheng looked at Yun Mo, then at Madam He. The moment he saw Madam He, he felt that she resembled his mother. Now, seeing Yun Mo, who looked just like him, he quickly asked, "Madam Gu, where is your family from? Do you have any relatives?"

Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi exchanged a glance, both of them understanding, but still felt it was unlikely.

Gu Yunyi had previously suspected He's identity, that she must have some powerful connections in the capital, but he never imagined that she would be related to the Pei family.
