When eating, it is a rule that food is not spoken, and everyone eats quietly and quietly.

The food in the big kitchen is much heavier than the food in Liu's small kitchen, and in terms of personal preference, Qianning prefers the small kitchen.

It seems that the masters of the Hou Mansion prefer heavy tastes...... Qian Ning secretly slandered herself.

After finishing the main meal, the maids quickly removed the food on the table, and Cui Shi led Qian Ning and the others to move to the side hall.

Fruits and pastries were already on the table.

After everyone sat down, another maid served tea.

Qian Ning lowered her head and took a sip of tea, only to feel the fragrance in her nose, and the sweetness in her mouth, washed away the greasy taste just now. I couldn't help but take two more sips.

only bowed her head to drink tea, and heard Lian Chengmei say again: "It seems that Sister Lu loves the tea in her mother's house very much, and she patronizes and drinks tea, and she doesn't even have the strength to raise her head." After speaking, he covered his mouth and smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were full of flattery, but in Qianning's eyes, there was a touch of malice.

Why is Lian Chengmei so targeted at herself? Obviously, she has the upper hand now, and there is no possibility that she will turn over at all......

However, although her status is not as good as Lian Chengmei, it does not mean that she can be bullied. So Qianning put down the teacup gently, smiled, and said: "I'm not like Sister Lian, I often went in and out of the Hou Mansion before I got married, and my aunt has already tasted the tea here, and it's not strange to see it. After speaking, he also specially blessed Cui's body to apologize.

Cui Shi hurriedly stepped forward to help Qian Ning, pulled her to sit down, and said, "You kid, eat something good at your own house, why are you so polite." Eat what you like, you like to eat, it's too late for your aunt to be happy, how can I blame you. After finishing, he also pointed to Lian Chengmei and Zhao Luoyan: "The two of them are tired of eating my things, so let's not take him two." ”

Lian Chengmei pulled her little face, took Cui's hand, and said coquettishly: "That's not good, who said that I am tired of eating this thing, I eat the most dishes on the table just now, if my mother doesn't let me eat it, I won't follow it." ”

Cui Shi looked kind, gently pinched Lian Chengmei's nose, and said with a smile: "You, you have been gluttonous since you were a child, and no one will dare to shorten you if you are short, otherwise Yan'er will not let me go first...... After speaking, he glanced at Zhao Luoyan meaningfully.

Zhao Luoyan made a gesture: "Mother's words are going to torment me......"

The three of them were talking and laughing, and Qianning was left aside. sighed silently in her heart, she originally wanted to catch Lian Chengmei and accuse her of bullying newcomers, but she didn't think about it, but she was exposed by Cui's words, it seems that she still underestimated Lian Chengmei's weight in this family......

However, the human heart is made of meat, so I don't believe that I can't find a place for myself if I work harder.

Qian Ning cheered herself up, with a smile on her face again, quietly listening to the chat of Cui's and others, and responding a few words from time to time.

Cui Shi secretly praised that it was originally through Lian Chengmei's provocation to dry Qianning, and by the way, let her understand the deep affection between Yan'er and Lian Chengmei, and retreat from the competition for favor, but I didn't expect her to be so calm, there is no different color at all, it seems that this girl is calm-minded. It's a pity that it's in the long room......

Cui's eyes sank, and he said: "Qianning, I heard that something happened on the way to welcome her yesterday, and in the end, she was relieved of the siege with the help of the second young master of Anwangfu, but is there something wrong?" ”

Something happened on the way to greet your relatives?

Even Chengmei and Zhao Luoyan obviously didn't know about it, and they all looked at Qianning.

Why did you suddenly mention this matter, did you want to scold yourself? Qian Ning was a little drumming in her heart, and said thoughtfully: "It's true, there is a splash skin blocking the road, scolding and scolding so much that he won't let him go, fortunately, the second young master of Anwangfu took action and scolded the splash, so he successfully arrived at home." ”

Cui Shi said: "Since we have the help of the second young master of King An's mansion, we should also come to the door to express our gratitude." The matter started because of Qianning, Qianning was going to go, Yan'er was Qianning's husband, and she should accompany her. This matter should not be delayed, I have prepared a generous gift, and you two will follow me to King An's Mansion together. ”

Qian Ning and Zhao Luoyan answered.

Lian Chengmei's eyes darkened, and she said coquettishly: "Mother, King An's Mansion is so high-powered, and it is well known that the husband has two rooms on his shoulders, if the husband and Sister Lu go, will the King of An Mansion think that we are not sincere enough?" ”

As soon as Lian Chengmei's words fell, Zhao Luoyan answered: "That's it, mother, my son has come forward, but Mrs. Shizi doesn't have a piece, and the etiquette is not appropriate......"

Qian Ning listened to it funny, why did she even go to the palace to thank you like this, didn't she want to walk with her for a while? How much does Zhao Luoyan dislike himself......

Cui Shi thought about it and felt that it would not hurt to have one more Cheng Mei, and it could show the Hou Mansion's respect for the palace, so he agreed.

A few people talked for a while, Cui's face looked tired, and Qian Ning and the others got up to say goodbye.

went out, Qianning and Lian Chengmei and others went in the opposite direction, and they couldn't walk together.

Qianning wanted to politely bid farewell to Lian Chengmei and Zhao Luoyan, but who knew that Lian Chengmei directly took Zhao Luoyan's arm and dragged her coquettishly to Yongmei Zhai for supper.

The two tugged and talked and walked towards Yongmei Zhai with a smile. Ignoring Qianning, who stayed where she was.

Qian Ning was a little dumbfounded. That's too much to ignore yourself, isn't it......

Lu Shui's face was uneven: "I also said that everyone is beautiful, and there is no etiquette, which is really infuriating." Grandma, the son of the world is so cold, what can I do in the future......"

Qian Ning smiled helplessly: "What can I do, cold salad." Let's take one step at a time. ”

On the second day, Qianning arrived at Zhenghai Courtyard early and waited, and after a while, Zhao Luoyan and Lian Chengmei also came, still like glue, you and I didn't pay attention to Qianning who was standing aside.

With the psychological construction of these two days, Qian Ning was not annoyed, and stood aside to admire the hall furnishings of Zhenghai Courtyard.

Zhenghai Courtyard was originally where the old marquis and Tian lived, and later Zhao Qian, the old marquis and Tian did not want to live in Zhenghai Courtyard, so Zhao Qian and his wife moved in. This is the center of the central axis of the entire Hou Mansion, symbolizing the lofty status of the Marquis of Yonglie. The furnishings of the hall are naturally magnificent.

Yesterday, when I recognized my relatives, I took care of the people, and I didn't look carefully at the furnishings in the house. Now it seems that the Nanmu furniture of that water alone is worth a lot of money, and there are all kinds of ornaments placed on the Duobao Pavilion, all of which are some years old, and the workmanship is very fine, and the connotation of the Hou Mansion is revealed everywhere.

Qian Ning secretly praised in her heart, the Hou Mansion is worthy of the Hou Mansion, a century-old family, and there are really a lot of good things accumulated over the years. is not like the Lu family, although it is a scholarly family, but the foundation is still shallow, and the family background is a lot worse.

Qian Ning looked at the utensils and secretly assessed their prices, and suddenly a small finch flew to the window, reflecting the autumn sun, and the carved window ridge was like a painting, full of vitality and hope.

Qianning's heart also seemed to be filled with sunshine, warmed up, Hou Fu was like a new world to herself, although Zhao Luoyan was very cold to herself at the moment, but the old Hou Ye, the Liu family looked kind, as long as they were sincere, even if they couldn't pull Zhao Luoyan's heart back from Lian Chengmei, at least they could find a foothold for themselves......

Thinking in her heart, Qian Ning couldn't help but show a slight smile on the corner of her mouth. The already bright face immediately added a bit of agility. Zhao Luoyan's eyes swept and he happened to see this scene. I chuckled somehow in my heart, and this smile seemed a little familiar...... It's like a childhood memory...... The timid girl, with a faint smile, shouted softly: "Brother Yan......"

Zhao Luoyan's heart softened, and he couldn't help but focus a little when he looked at Qian Ning's eyes.

Qian Ning felt his gaze and smiled politely, her eyebrows and eyes curved, showing a touch of affinity.

Zhao Luoyan felt that his heart was cold, how could he think that Qianning was like her? She is so fragile and relies on herself wholeheartedly, she can't wait to hide when she sees strangers, but Lu Qianning is a down-to-earth and generous lady, and the difference between the two is too far......

It seems that he has hidden her in his heart for so long and so deep that he has almost forgotten her personality...... Zhao Luoyan secretly mocked himself, and his gaze at Qian Ning was also retracted.

Qian Ning's smiling face was exchanged for Zhao Luoyan's coldness, and she was angry in her heart.

What kind of person...... He was the one who saw it first, but it was as if he was peeking at him......

Qian Ning snorted coldly, lowered her head again, looked at her nose and her nose, and waited for Cui's to come out.
