Xiao Shen stood tall and graceful at the doorway, looking at Pei Shu'er with a smile.
"Won't you invite me in?"
Only then did Pei Shu'er react, smiling, "Please come in quickly."
Behind Xiao Shen, there was a carriage, and Mrs. Xiao Lin lifted the curtain, revealing a face several years younger.
Her face was full of a sincere smile.
"Shu'er, it's been a long time."
Pei Shu'er also greeted her with a smile, "Aunt, please come in quickly."
"Yinxing, go bring out the pastries, brew the flower tea with roses, and serve Tieguanyin."
Xiao Shen chatted with Pei Shu'er for a while in the front hall, then brought out some gifts.
"These are gourmet recipes I found across various places; you can keep them for reference."
Pei Shu'er's eyes showed some delight. She knew many dishes, but many recipes had disappeared over the course of history.
"Thank you, but this is too precious."
Xiao Shen smiled and said, "Just keep them. I also have a favor to ask of you this time."
