As the concubine of the Hou Mansion and the granddaughter of the Zhao family in Jiangnan, Xia Xue'er never received her food from the big kitchen, and she already had her own small kitchen at a young age. In the past, it was the chef of Dengxian Building, the "first floor in the world" hired by the lady, and it was given by the emperor after the Xia family was knighted.

The old lady intended to embarrass Xia Xue'er before, but she was afraid that she would lose face after letting people know about it, so she used the excuse of giving the servants in the house a turn to rest before cutting her use, and sent the cook given by the emperor back to her hometown to visit relatives. After the cook returned to his hometown for a month, he saw Xia Xue'er's yellow and thin face, and he was almost scared to death, and the emperor specially asked about it in front of Xia Qi after hearing about it, and since then, the old lady has never dared to think of cutting Xia Xue'er's use.

The emperor's favor for the Zhao family can be seen from this. couldn't touch the Zhao family in Jiangnan, so he applied this favor to Xia Xue'er, who was the grandson of the Zhao family.

There are really people who are destined to be different from others since they were born!

Thinking of this, Shen couldn't help but sigh.

"Auntie, what's wrong, does the food taste bad?"

"No, no, no!"

Shen hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand, how could he dare to say that someone else's cook was not with his identity? What's more, this dish is indeed full of color, flavor and flavor, just looking at it is enough to make people salivate and move their index fingers! It's just that this person is more popular than death, and when she didn't see Xia Xue'er's food again, she also felt that what she ate on weekdays was already a delicacy in the world.

Xia Xue'er looked at Shen's eyes staring at the dishes on the table, and the contempt in her eyes deepened a little. Some people are conscientious, down-to-earth, sincere, do not envy the clouds on the horizon, and only cherish their own small world; Some people have low eyes, are greedy for vanity, look at other people's fame and fortune, and only daydream about Cinderella.

The former type of person, even if he has been unremarkable all his life, is respectable. And Shen happens to be the latter kind of person, never satisfied, insatiable! Therefore, it is not surprising that Xia Xue'er looks down on her.

During the banquet, Xia Xue'er never spoke again. Eating without saying a word and sleeping without saying a word is a quality of everyone's beauty and a reflection of personal cultivation. And Shen squinted his eyes from time to time to peek at Xia Xue'er, because of something in his heart, this meal was very oppressive, and all the delicacies became indescribable, just begging for a quick end.

Xia Xue'er finally stopped her chopsticks, took the teacup in the maid's hand and rinsed her mouth, and Shen hurriedly did the same. originally thought that she finally had a chance to speak, but Xia Xueer moved to the table and sat down, holding a chess book, and meditating on a game of chess on the table. Shen didn't know if this was the habit of the third lady after dinner or if she was deliberately drying herself, and she wanted to resign, but she had to stay.

Today, somehow angered the old lady, and the old lady punished her to go to the Buddhist hall to recite sutras for the old lady. There is no shortage of people in this house, as soon as she enters the Buddhist hall, she doesn't know when she will come out, and if no one thinks of her, it is possible to stay in it for months. Although the lord is very kind to her, he doesn't spoil her, and he can't expect him to intercede with his mother for a dispensable concubine!

Now it is the eighth day of the first lunar month, and there are only eight days left before the wedding of the prince of the Sixteenth Jian'an Hou Mansion, and tonight is her only chance!

After thinking about it, he finally opened his mouth, "Third Miss, the concubine doesn't know whether to talk about something." ”

Xia Xue'er held the chess game in one hand and pinched the white child in the other, and after hearing this, her eyes did not take her eyes off the chess game, and her tone was not shocked, "Say." ”

"This Jian'an Hou Mansion and our Anguo Hou Mansion belong to the Xia family, they are in the same vein, and they have only been separated for more than 20 years.

Xia Xue'er still didn't look up, but there was a sneer in her heart, but she was so stupid that she still didn't know why she was punished into the Buddha Hall! But he didn't point it out, but asked along the way: "Auntie means that our Anguo Marquis Mansion will treat him badly in the congratulatory gift?" ”

"The house has a deep heritage, and there will naturally be no shortage of congratulatory gifts, but my cousin is getting married, should I also go to say goodbye as a cousin?"

As the saying goes, don't talk to fools about short and long, and that's true. I thought that the Shen family could mix well in this wealthy compound, at least she had brains, but now it seems that she thinks highly of her!

Xia Xue'er raised her head and looked at the Shen family with an expectant expression, and asked, "Have you heard of two hereditary titles with the same surname and branch before?" ”

Shen didn't know why she asked, but she also shook her head.

Xia Xue'er originally thought that after her own point, Shen should have figured it out, but seeing that she was still at a loss, she knew that she still couldn't turn around in her heart, didn't her meaning be obvious enough? simply threw the chess game aside, and said bluntly: "Even the emperor thinks that the Jian'an Hou Mansion and the Anguo Hou Mansion are two families with the same surname and different branches, so why does the aunt keep saying "the same vein and the same origin"? As early as when the Xia family was divided into two, the title zài "cousin" no longer existed! ”

"Are you still going to the wedding feast?"

One sentence almost didn't make Xia Xue'er vomit blood angrily! Looking at those pitiful eyes, how could I have the urge to smoke her?! The words have been said so bluntly, and I still miss the wedding banquet! If I hadn't known her little thoughts, I'd have wanted to go up and cut open that head and see what's inside!

Is it tofu?

Xia Xue'er: This is the first time that she has found that talking to someone with an anxious IQ is really the most painful thing in life. simply ignored her, only reached out and yawned.

Seeing this, the Shen family knew that Xia Xue'er was giving an eviction order, but she was still a little unwilling, so she didn't want to leave. I am such a daughter as Xia Qiaoyun, the girl pushed Xia Xue'er into the Qinglian Pond in a daze earlier, causing her to almost lose her life, even if Mrs. Yu and Miss In-law had a grudge, and finally picked it up from the family temple, I thought that the old lady would love her, but I didn't expect it to be so tepid, seeing that she had reached the age of discussing relatives but no one cared about her, how could she not be in a hurry!

Originally, I pinned my hopes on my wife, hoping to get a good family business, just like the eldest lady married back then, but that road has been blocked by herself, if you don't find an opportunity to go around the circle of the powerful, how can you find a good family business? How can she, a mother, get ahead in the house?!

"If you go, can you ask Miss Three to bring Miss Two with you? Let her go out and see the world too. ”
