The troupe invited by Yue Yao this time is the most famous spring class in the capital. Yueyao doesn't like to watch dramas very much, but since she is sitting on the stage, she also watches it seriously.

After watching a play, Ping muttered: "This play is all those plays, and I don't know when a new play will be released." "Ping likes to watch plays, and because he likes to watch them, he has watched all the plays.

Yueyao rarely watches dramas, so it's not easy for her to express her opinions.

After watching the play, he led everyone to dinner. Yueyao has put a lot of effort into her meals, there are several signature dishes of Hongfu Restaurant on the table, and the other dishes are also very exquisite.

The food was silent, everyone ate deliciously, but no one spoke at the table. The whole occasion was only the sound of maids walking.

After finishing the meal, everyone sat in the room again, and the wife of the prince of Lu Guo, Deng Shi, asked with a smile: "Mrs. An, the chef of this Hongfu Restaurant is not easy to invite, how did you get it?" The chef of Hongfu Restaurant is not so easy to invite, first of all, you must have enough face, and secondly, the cost is very high, and most people will not spend so much money to invite such a chef for a banquet.

Yue Yao smiled and said, "This is a dish made by the chef of my mansion, not by the chef of Hongfu Restaurant." ”

Not to mention Deng's now, everyone else was very surprised, Ping's likes to eat the roast duck of Hongfu Restaurant very much, so she knows the taste very well: "You didn't invite the chef of Hongfu Restaurant to make those dishes." "Those dishes are all exclusive recipes.

Yue Yao smiled: "I sold the recipes for these dishes to Hongfu Restaurant, and I promised them that they wouldn't leak it, but I didn't say that I couldn't use it." "Yueyao, this is to put an end to the possibility of others asking him for the recipes for these dishes.

Not to mention Ping's, even other people are also suspicious: "Are you all developing these dishes?" As far as Yueyao is like this, how can it be in the kitchen.

Yue Yao smiled and shook her head: "No, I don't go to the kitchen much." As for how it was obtained, Yuezhu left a suspense for everyone to guess.

Yue Bing's complexion changed, Jia is she didn't guess wrong, the recipes of these dishes were very likely to be taken out by Yue Huan, as for where Yue Huan came from, Yue Bing didn't think deeply.

Mu Qinglian's eyes rolled, and she said with a smile: "I heard that even the fourth girl is going to get married next month, I don't know if it's true?"

Zhou Yue took the words: "Yes! The date was set for June 20, and my fourth aunt and grandmother also took a fancy to each other's good character before agreeing. ”

The third young lady of Uncle Cheng is Zhou Yue's sister, and she asked very embarrassedly, "How do you say this?"

Zhou Yue said with a smile: "Not long after the death of Mrs. Zeng, someone made him a matchmaker, but he was stunned and said that he must keep his wife for three years, and this guard is five years, not to mention the use of maids in these five years, and he has not even been to other Fengyue places, and the third brother-in-law also likes his good character, so he has made such a big matchmaker." ”

Zhou Yue's words were obviously slapping Mu Qinglian's face, the original wife of the family had passed away, the husband had been guarding for five years, and he didn't use a maid or anything around him, Ning Lixuan was good, after the original partner passed away, he was clamoring to straighten Mu Qinglian right, this comparison was immediate.

It wasn't just Mu Qinglian who came to dismantle the stage, Guan Qiong, the second young lady of Changlebo, deliberately asked about Yueyao's affairs in Jiangnan: "I heard that the paintings that Mrs. An painted for the woman surnamed Xiang were all priced at four thousand taels of silver. Guan Qiong said this, deliberately reminding everyone of the rumors that Yue Yao was visiting the Qinglou in Jiangnan and befriending the Qinglou.

Wanhe's face turned red with anger, even if Mu Qinglian was looking for scum, what he was talking about was housework, at most, it would make Yueyao's face dull, but Guan Qiong's words were tantamount to making a feud with Yueyao.

Yue Yao looked at Guan Qiong, and the smile on her face did not decrease: "Although I don't know who deliberately spread the news that I went to the Qinglou and befriended the woman in the Qinglou, but I think as long as someone with a brain hears this rumor, he will know that it is nonsense." After speaking, Yue Yao looked at Mrs. Changle Bo and said with a smile: "The news of Changle Bo's Mansion is really well-informed, I don't know how much silver the painting I burned was worth, but you actually know that it is worth more than four thousand taels of silver." ”

Mrs. Changlebo's face stiffened, and her eyes looked at Guan Qiong with unkindness.

Mu Qinglian pretended to ask: "Burned?" Why did you burn such a good painting?"

Yue Yao said lightly: "If you want to use me as a stepping stone to become famous in the world, it depends on whether she can afford it." "Xiangru and the old bustard didn't say whether Xiang Wei or Mingzhu ended up in the end, but Yueyao knew very well that there would definitely be no good end.

Yue Yao's words made everyone stiffen, and Yue Yao gave people the feeling of being as kind as a spring breeze, but these words were full of evil spirit.

Zhuang Ruolan explained with a smile: "Yueyao also heard that this woman danced well in Suzhou that day, and wanted to invite this woman to perform in the mansion, the woman put forward a condition, saying that she would not charge money but wanted to ask Yueyao to make a painting for her, Yueyao said at the time that if she felt it, she would paint a painting, and then Yueyao saw that she danced beautifully and made a painting, and then the woman wanted to be famous, and deliberately said to people that Yueyao had a very good relationship with her, and was willing to help her redeem herself and take care of her for the rest of her life. The latter sentence was added by Zhuang Ruolan.

Wanhe was the first to laugh: "We have a lot of friendship, and you also help her redeem her body and take care of her for the rest of her life?" It's also a shame that she can say it, it's really wishful thinking. "Yueyao is not a man, can she still value her beauty, this Qinglou woman is really confused.

Mrs. Changlebo stood up and said, "Mrs. An, it's not too early, we should go back too." "Mrs. Changlebo is really worried that the two hundred and five daughter-in-law will say something amazing.

Mrs. Changlebo made a start, and the other ladies also said goodbye and went back, and Mu Qinglian also stood up and said to Yueyao: "It is said that Mrs. An is very blessed, and when I saw it today, Mrs. An was really blessed." As for what this blessing means, only Mu Qinglian knows.

Yue Yao said lightly: "Mrs. Ning has won the award. ”

After sending everyone away, Yueyao was also a little tired, but although everyone was gone, the things in the mansion had to be cleaned up.

Yue Yao thought for a moment and said, "Isn't the master's side okay?" What time has it been? Why haven't the guests left yet?

Gu You went on a trip and came back: "Madam, is the master still drinking with the Marquis of Luyang and the Marquis of Yongding?"

Entertainment between men, Yue Yao is not easy to say anything, Yue Yao believes in this principle of male protagonist and female protagonist, An Zhichen never interjects in matters outside the home, including entertainment, Yue Yao instructed the kitchen to boil the sobering soup, and let him drink it when An Zhichen came back.

The mansion was all cleaned up, several men were still chatting there and didn't speak, Yueyao had the habit of taking a nap, she didn't sleep today, and she was a little sleepy.

Yue Yao is not a person who can't get along with herself, she went back to the bedroom, took off the phoenix hairpin on her head, thought for a while and called Xiang Wei, and asked, "Do you think Mu Qinglian is very strange?" But if you want to say what's strange, Yueyao can't say it.

What does Xiang Wei know about Yueyao? "This woman looks dignified, but what she exudes in her bones is a sassy smell, so you will feel disobedient when you look at it." ”

Yueyao didn't understand what Xiang Wei meant.

Xiang Wei explained with a smile: "Mu Qinglian must have learned those methods to please men, but she covered it up very well, and ordinary people can't see it." "After learning those methods to please men, no matter how good you can cover up, it is impossible to be completely without signs, and people with particularly keen observation like Yueyao can see it, but Yueyao doesn't think about it in any way.

Yue Yao opened her mouth and whispered, "Impossible, right?" Generally, only concubines will learn those methods to please men, Mu Qinglian, it shouldn't be!

Xiang Wei said with a smile: "If you don't believe it, forget it." "In the past, Mu Qinglian was very similar to Yueyao, the same talent, the same beauty and moving, of course, the same high and arrogant, the only difference is that Yue Yao's high and arrogant self-esteem does not know how to restrain, but Mu Qinglian is well hidden, but no matter what, Mu Qinglian is still a very proud woman in her bones, but now? The arrogance is gone, but there is a resentment.

Xiang Wei has always heard people outside say that Mu Qinglian is exquisite, but today's performance of Mu Qinglian is rumored to be completely incompatible, why is there such a big gap? Because Mu Qinglian was jealous, she was jealous of Yueyao, and jealousy made her lose her normal heart.

Yue Yao shook her head and said, "Forget it, it has nothing to do with me what Mu Qinglian has become. Yue Yao changed her clothes and went to bed, squinting her eyes.

Xiang Wei also quietly retreated.

After Yueyao waited for Xiang Wei to go out, she opened her eyes openly, in fact, it was not that she didn't believe Xiang Wei's words, but she didn't want to believe that Mu Qinglian was such an arrogant person, no one knew better than her, but in order to please Ning Lixuan, she actually forced herself to learn the methods of those Qinglou women, thinking about how much courage it takes.

Yue Yao thought that she was not as good as Mu Qinglian, she only wanted to die to relieve herself when she encountered difficulties at that time, but Mu Qinglian was forced to that point but never thought of death, struggling to survive in a desperate situation, and finally climbed to the position of the wife of the prince of Ningguo, even if Yue Yao hated what Mu Qinglian did, she had to admire Mu Qinglian's ability.

Yue Yao fell asleep in a daze, and when she opened her eyes, she saw An Zhichen lying on her side, and Yue Yao called softly: "Heyue, Heyue?"

An Zhichen drank a lot of wine today, he would be drunk to death, Yueyao didn't call again, got dressed and walked out.

Yueyao asked Gu You, "Brother Sheng, what about them?"

Gu You lowered his head and whispered, "The eldest young master is also drunk, and he will be sleeping!"

Yueyao had a headache and said, "The child is still young, why let them drink!" Men's education is completely different from that of women, in An Zhichen's mind, the three sons are now eight years old, they have grown up, and they can drink and ride horses, but in Yueyao's heart, the three sons are still children, and she thinks that those dangerous and bad things are not allowed for the three children to do.

Fortunately, although Yueyao disagreed, she did not interfere with how An Zhichen taught her three sons, and of course, Yueyao did not allow An Zhichen to interfere with how to teach Kexin.
