Chapter 40: There is a backer
Xi Yao turned around and motioned to the red candle, the red candle understood, and hurriedly lifted the cloth covering the tray, "Back to the old lady, Mrs. Shangshu, after the banquet, the young master said that he was not full, so the young lady went to cook and made some desserts, and I thought that I would send a copy to the old lady when it was ready, but I didn't want the grandparents and grandchildren to think of going together, and before the young lady was ready, the old lady sent a message to ask the young lady to come over." ”
Gao laughed, "There is such a coincidence, what did Ying'er make delicious?" Bring it up and let us see ......"
Xi Yao took the tray with her own hands, "Grandmother shouldn't use more sweets, so I only added a little sugar as a seasoning, and made some hibiscus cake and glutinous rice balls, my brother said that it was soft and smooth, and the taste was not bad, please try it for grandmother and aunt." ”
As he spoke, he offered the tray with both hands.
Soft and silky is not Bai Moyang's comment, but Xi Yao's own opinion, although I dare not guarantee that this dessert is suitable for Bai Moyang's taste, but Xi Yao is very confident that the old lady will like it.
Sure enough, as soon as the tray was brought up, the old lady couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, and took the lead in holding a piece of glutinous rice balls and putting them in her mouth.
Because she usually has to control the amount of sugar, the old lady rarely eats sweet, and on the surface she seems to pretend that she doesn't care, but in fact, she really wants to eat it.
It's just that every time she eats something with a lot of sugar, the old lady will make an old problem, and she has to take a month and a half of bitter medicine to make it, so even if she wants to eat it again, she still has to endure it patiently.
Now, as soon as the dessert made by Xi Yao was eaten, the old lady felt that the tip of her tongue and between her teeth were shrouded in a sweetness, this sweetness was not strong, it was faint like a breeze floating in her mouth, and it was very comfortable to chew.
One by one, one by one, the chubby little squares were put into the old lady's mouth one after another, until Gao couldn't help but stretch out his hand to stop it, "Mother, although it's not very sweet, but when you just used a little food, you will hold up if you use too much!" ”
Looking at the empty small plate of glutinous rice cakes and the half-empty plate of hibiscus cake in front of her, the old lady smiled embarrassedly, "I have eaten so much unconsciously, it's just that, take the rest of these and share them with the girls, Ying'er's craftsmanship is excellent, and I can't stop eating as an old man." ”
Xi Yao smiled on her face, and said secretly in her heart: Sure enough, what is written in the information is correct, Mrs. Gao only smiles very happily when facing things she likes such as food, and usually treats others as if she were strangers.
"If the old lady likes it, the granddaughter will be happy......"
"Well, I like it, I like it, in the future, you come to Fushouyuan to accompany me every day, and make something delicious when you have time." I'm tired of all the things I make in the kitchen......"
Gao was taking out a silk handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and when he heard the old lady's words, he was stunned at first.
Xi Yao obviously didn't expect the old lady to explain like this, her eyes rolled twice, and there was no reaction.
Although the words are simple, the meaning inside is obvious.
The old lady asked Xi Yao to come to Fushouyuan every day to accompany her, but it was just on the surface, but she was actually protecting her.
After such a fuss at today's banquet, the hatred of the Wang family and daughter for Xi Yao must be a thousand times and a hundred times, in this case, Xi Yao's situation in the General's Mansion can be described as precarious, but if there is the protection of the old lady, it will be different.
If the old lady ignores Xi Yao, I'm afraid that soon after, the Wang family and daughter will attack her, but the old lady now promises in public to let Xi Yao come to Fushouyuan every day in the future, so that the Wang family and Gao Gao Lan will have to scruple about one or two if they want to start again, after all, Xi Yao can't disappear out of thin air as a big living person!
Although on weekdays, the younger generations of the house also have to greet the old lady every day, but those are just out of politeness, and if they get sick or something, they can be avoided. Wang's mother and daughter will still take advantage of loopholes to find opportunities.
If Xi Yao came to Fushou Garden every day to serve the old lady, it would be different, in addition to asking for peace, she would have to talk to the old lady, so if she suffered any grievances in the courtyard, the old lady must know that it would be difficult for the Wang family and daughter to start.
With tears in her eyes, Xi Yao looked at the old lady gratefully.
On the side, Gao laughed, "Silly girl, the old lady asked you to come over to accompany you, but you have a reply......
Kneeling down and kowtowing again, Xi Yao said loudly, "The granddaughter will live up to the expectations of the old lady and come over every day to honor you." ”
Smiling and bowing her head, the old lady suddenly changed the topic, "At today's banquet, I really saw it, child, you have suffered." ”
The topic has finally turned on the right track, Xi Yao is sure, guessing that the words that the old lady is going to say next may be the real purpose of looking for her today.
"Old lady, as a member of the General's Mansion, it is within her duty to protect the reputation of the General's Mansion from being violated."
"Yes, you know it's a matter of duty, but others may not know, perhaps, they know it too, but they never take reputation seriously."
When Xi Yao was pushed to the cusp, when Gao Wu was forced to say that the punishment for Xi Yao was to be kicked out of the general's mansion, the expressions of the mother and daughter villains were all seen in the eyes of the old lady. Although she has always looked down on the Wang family, the old lady has endured it because of her son's face, but she didn't think that under the pampering of her son, the mother and daughter almost caused a catastrophe, "They wanted to drive you out of the mansion, but they never thought that if you were really detained and driven out of the black pot, what would people outside think of the general's mansion in the future?" ”
Ruthless and short-sighted, they are destined to not become a big climate!
"Old lady, don't be angry, the left and right things have passed, Ying'er doesn't think much about it."
With a deep sigh of relief, Gao shook his head helplessly, "Presumably their mother and daughter are still cursing Ying'er in a group, but they wouldn't have thought that if it weren't for your mercy, they would have been discredited!" ”
Gao was referring to the girl.
The girl with the tray who knocked over the princess in public and moved the jewelry on the princess's head.
After the escape was discovered, if it wasn't for Xi Yao's public order to block their mouths, I'm afraid that in the end, this wall grass would tell the truth!
Living in the inner house for a long time, both the Gao family and the old lady could see this, but they were surprised by Xi Yao's foresight.
Gao thinks that he can see people very accurately, but he also learned from the old lady since he was a child, so when the girl with the tray pointed out in public that she was instructed by Xi Yao, Gao and the old lady did not believe it.
It's just that Xi Yao was able to stay calm, which couldn't help but impress Gao's mother and daughter.
Perhaps it was because of Xi Yao's calm expression at the banquet that the old lady finally made a decision: to protect Xi Yao.
In short, from then on, Xi Yao had a backer in the General's Mansion.
