When Ning'er walked back to Liufu and walked into the banquet hall, she found that everyone had not yet arrived, and the housekeepers and maids were still cleaning the banquet room, Ning'er was relieved and not so anxious just now. Just now, Ning'er has been very worried, afraid that she will be late for the banquet held by her family to entertain her benefactor, so she walked faster just now, and felt a little bit of a fork, but now she stopped and slowed down for a while, and she felt much better. Ning'er saw that no one had come to the banquet hall, so she thought about going to the kitchen to help, and coming back to the banquet room later.

Ning Er walked out of the banquet room and walked to the kitchen, and before she entered the kitchen, Ning Er heard the sound of rustling in the kitchen. Ning'er went into the kitchen to take a look, but she didn't see anyone, maybe because everyone in the kitchen went to wash and prepare vegetables, so she didn't see anyone; But the sound of rustling did not stop, Ning'er saw that there was no one in the kitchen, and made a sound again, Ning'er thought that the rats ran into the kitchen to steal food, so she turned around and ran to the yard, went to find a big broom, and prepared to go into the kitchen to find the mouse and drive it out.

The big broom was held in Ning'er's hand, covering Ning'er's face entirely, Ning'er couldn't see the road from the front, so she nodded to the right, leaked a small head, and looked at the road in front. Ning'er didn't know where the rat was, so she slowly looked for it along the place where the sound of rustling was made. Ning Er listened carefully to the sound, it came from the stove and firewood pile in the kitchen, and Ning Er quietly walked to the stove where the fire was burning in the kitchen.

Although the appearance of the mouse is very small, Ning Er is still very scared, and when she walked to the stove where the kitchen was burning, Ning Er didn't dare to look at it again, so she closed her eyes again, and took a big broom and slapped it behind the stove that made a sound.

"Ah", a woman's voice appeared, and when Ning'er heard the voice of a woman instead of a mouse, she was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly opened her eyes and saw the back of a girl, who was squatting there with her back to herself.

Ning'er saw that the big broom she was holding hit someone, so she quickly dropped the big broom in her hand and ran to the girl's side, wanting to see if she was hit by herself, and then apologize to her.

"Girl, are you alright?" Ning Er squatted down and stretched out her right hand, wanting to brush away the girl's hair and see if there was anything wrong with the back of the girl's head, but before Ning Er's right hand touched her hair, the girl who was squatting on the ground turned her face, and Ning Er's hand almost fell on the girl's cheek.

The girl looked at Ning'er, then at Ning'er's hand stretched out towards her face, and turned her face sideways; Ning Er felt a sudden embarrassment between the two of them, and saw that her hand was about to fall on the girl's cheek, so she quickly withdrew her hand and looked away.

After Ning'er withdrew her hand, she secretly glanced at the girl a few more times, and found that the girl was secretly eating the pastries from the kitchen in her hands, and Ning'er's eyes staring at the pastries in the girl's hands were discovered by the girl. The girl handed half of the pastry in her hand to Ning'er, "Are you also hungry, come to the kitchen to find something to eat, give it to you, eat it quickly, otherwise they will find us when they come back in a while!" ”

Listening to the girl talk like this, she obviously didn't know that Ning Er was the eldest lady of the family, and Ning Er didn't show her identity for fear of embarrassment, but also pretended to be the one who came to the kitchen to steal food. "yes, I'm a little hungry, but the people in their kitchen seem to be coming back soon, so let's take some back to our room to eat." Ning'er was afraid that it would be embarrassing to see them squatting here to eat when the kitchen people came back in a while, so she thought about taking some pastries and taking her to her room to eat.

"You're right, na, these pieces are for you, these are mine." The girl gave Ning'er all the pastries in her hand, took a few more pastries from the plate on the stove, and prepared to leave the kitchen.

"Let's go!" Ning'er took the pastry, stood up, and prepared to leave the kitchen with the girl. Suddenly, Ning felt like she had been dragged by someone, her center of gravity was unstable, her body tilted, she didn't stand firmly, and staggered to the ground.

"No, it's too blatant for you to steal food like this, right? How can you go out so openly? We should bend over and run out quietly, and when we get out of the kitchen, we can quickly run back to our rooms, you know, you can get caught stealing food like you! That girl felt very experienced, and she kept telling Ning'er how to steal food so as not to be discovered.

"Alright, let's go, or the kitchen man will be back in a moment, and we'll be discovered." Ning Er wanted to laugh a little when she listened to that girl's experience of stealing food, and felt that this girl was very cute, and she must be a very interesting person.

"Let's go, let me take you out safely!" The girl half-squatted and walked to the front of Ning'er, took Ning'er's hand, "Run", after running, the girl pulled Ning'er straight up and ran, the two of them ran out of the kitchen hand in hand, Ning'er followed the girl in front of her and ran until they arrived at the guest room in Liufu, and the two of them stopped.

"Now, I'm staying here, do you want to go in and sit down?" The girl let go of Ning Er's hand, put the pastry she was holding in her left hand into her mouth, and began to eat, while inviting Ning Er into the house to sit down.

"No, I'll go first, I'll leave these pastries for you to eat." Ning Er refused the request to enter the house and sit down, put the pastry in her hand into the girl's hand, and prepared to leave, because it was already noon, and it was time to prepare a banquet to feast on the benefactor who saved her father.

"Okay, then we'll see you again." The girl took the pastry, stuffed another piece into her mouth, entered the room, closed the door, and Ning'er left, walking towards the banquet room.

On the way to the banquet hall, Ning Er remembered that the girl who had stolen food just now had not seen her in the mansion, nor had she asked her name, but she didn't think much about it, so she thought about hurrying to the living room, so as not to delay the banquet of the benefactor who saved her father.

When Ning'er walked to the banquet hall, she found that her father, second lady, and Lu'er had already arrived, so she immediately walked over, "Dad, second lady, I'm sorry, I'm late." ”

"It's okay, Ning'er, it's not too late, I just asked the maid to invite the woman. By the way, how are you doing, are you feeling better, and are you still uncomfortable there? Master Liu asked about Ning'er's physical condition, afraid that Ning'er's health was not yet well, and he had always been worried about Ning'er.

"Dad, I'm fine, don't worry." Ning'er said to her father, saying that she was fine, so that her father could rest assured.

"That's good, that's good", Master Liu looked at Ning Er and smiled, then turned his head to look at the front of the banquet hall, "Ning Er, look, that is the woman who saved her father." Fang Yuanwai pointed out with his hand, and quickly walked out to greet the benefactor's arrival.

Ning Er looked in the direction of her father's finger and found that the benefactor who saved her father was the girl she had just met in the kitchen who was stealing food, Ning Er smiled secretly, and hurriedly followed her father out to meet the woman.

Master Liu led the girl to the banquet room and began to introduce everyone to each other. "Ning'er, Lu'er, this is the Thousand Snow Woman who saved me", "Thousand Snow Woman, this is my eldest daughter Ning'er, second daughter Lu'er." Master Liu was introducing them to each other.

When Qianxue looked in the direction of Master Liu's finger, she found that the eldest daughter Ning'er that Master Liu said was the girl she had just met in the kitchen, Qianxue smiled embarrassedly at Ning'er, and when Master Liu turned around and sat at the dining table, Qianxue secretly walked to Ning'er's side, put her right index finger on her mouth, and made a "shhh

Ning'er saw Qianxue's movements, understood what she meant, and made an "OK" gesture with her right hand, telling Qianxue that she wouldn't say it and would keep this little secret.

In this way, Master Liu, Second Lady, Ning Er, Qian Xue, and Lu'er all sat down at the table in turn, ready to start the feast. As soon as Qianxue saw the food, her eyes began to glow, and she didn't care if she was a girl, she didn't pay attention to eating at all, she just ate it, and kept stuffing it into her mouth, eating while listening to them, and kept saying "delicious, delicious". Master Liu and the second lady were amused by Qianxue's eating appearance, and kept saying that Qianxue should eat more, you're welcome.

Qianxue sat next to Ning'er, Qianxue tasted it and thought it was delicious, so she immediately gave it to Ning'er, thinking that she would try it too. Others don't know about Qianxue's sneaking in and meeting Ning'er, but also because the two girls are familiar at first sight, the two little girls are also talking at the dinner table, Qianxue tells Ning'er what the world outside is like, and there are many interesting things happening; Ning'er told Qianxue which of the meals on the table was delicious and how it was made.

During the conversation, the two little girls felt that each other was a friend worthy of deep friendship, and Ning'er also revealed to Qianxue how much she envied her, and wanted to go out to see the outside world like Qianxue; Qianxue said that she was also very envious of Ning'er, she had a happy family, if Ning'er wanted to go out to have a look, she could take her with her, because she was going to leave soon, and she would not stay in Liufu for a long time.

When Ning Er heard Qianxue say this, she hesitated a little, she wanted to go out with Qianxue to have a look, but she was afraid that her father and the second lady would not agree, at the dinner table, Ning Er did not reply to Qianxue, just lowered her head and kept eating the meal.
