As soon as these words were spoken, the scene was in an uproar. Jin Wan, standing on the side, felt as if struck by a thunderbolt!His body trembled uncontrollably, and he forced a smile that looked worse than crying. "Mother, what are you saying? You've been making this mutton soup for a lifetime. Everyone still loves it so much.

When you leave, take it back home.”Hearing this, Jin Xingwang immediately looked as though he had done something wrong. “Sir, did I say something inappropriate? Please, you must accept this wine!

The crescent moon shone brightly, reflected on the clear river, its shimmering surface disturbed by the gentle flow of the water.Atop a massive rock in the middle of the river, Hu Shi sat cross-legged, holding a sheet of rice paper and slowly reciting from it.Before him, a large red-tailed fish floated on the water's surface, occasionally releasing bubbles as if in response to Hu Shi’s chanting of the text.When Hu Shi reached the eighteenth recitation, the red-tailed fish suddenly felt an itch in its…

The next morning, the sky was overcast, with scattered raindrops falling to the ground.In front of the Ansi Courtyard, two figures, one tall and one small, stood under a shared oil-paper umbrella.“Grandpa, are we just going to wait again today?” Jin Xingwang yawned, his tone full of sleepiness.Beside him, Jin Wan handed his grandson a wine jar and chuckled. “I’ve already looked into it.

"I am Ma Mingcai, son of Ma Hongyuan, paying my respects to Mr. Gu!"The young man’s expression grew increasingly emotional as he introduced himself, nearly dropping to his knees in the process.Ma Hongyuan?Wasn’t that the old tailor’s name?Gu Ning’an quickly reached out to steady the son of his old acquaintance, smiling gently. "No need to be so emotional. Sit down, and let’s talk."“Yes, yes!” Ma Mingcai nodded repeatedly before sitting down next to Gu Ning’an. He lowered his voice and said,…

Following a narrow path toward Le'an County, one would come across a wide river, approximately eight zhang across, aptly named the "Eight-Zhang River" by the locals.The river was abundant with "carp crook," a term for carp. Perhaps due to the scarcity of fishermen in the area and the absence of natural predators for the carp, these "carp crook" often grew to remarkable sizes.Years ago, Gu Ning'an once caught a red-tailed carp over two meters long and weighing more than a hundred jin.This red-tailed carp,…

"Mr. Gu?" Wu Lan murmured softly, her expression suddenly changing. "Mother, does this mean you’re not actually dead?" "No, no, no! You died, but Mr. Gu brought you back to life!" As she spoke, Wu Lan tightly grasped the gentle woman’s arms, as though afraid her mother might vanish in the next moment. The gentle woman smiled and shook her head. “I died, and I haven’t come back to life… The only reason you can see me now is that over twenty years ago, Mr. Gu sealed…
