In the middle of the evening a day later, the sun was setting and the colorful glow was hanging in the west.

Ruoxue and Ruohong had dinner in the small flower hall, and only the two close maids of Lianxin Dantang were waiting in the house.

"Today's chicken fillet is delicious, much more tender than the one made before."

"Sister eats these chicken wings, which are similar to Coke chicken wings." Ruohong took a piece of chicken wings wrapped in a layer of brown pulp and put them in a small dish in front of Ruoxue.

"That's what you came up with again, right?" Ruoxue smiled.

Lian Xin smiled and served a bowl of chicken soup for Ruoxue next to her and put it in her hand, "Isn't it!" The third lady has been in the kitchen for more than an hour. ”

Ruoxue glanced at Ruohong with a smile, picked up the chicken wings and took a small bite, chewing slowly, "Well, it's delicious, it's just too sweet." She said.

"It's a little sweet, no cola can only be fried with sugar, it's sweeter to eat, but it's still delicious!" Ruohong said with a grin, and put another piece in Ruoxue's saucer, "Eat more." ”

In ancient times, if you want to eat Coke chicken wings, it is a tyrannical thing, a chicken has only two wings on its body, and if you want to eat a meal of Coke chicken wings, you need at least seven or eight chickens.

Although the Mei family is wealthy, it is too expensive to kill seven or eight chickens just for the sake of eating chicken wings in one meal.

Ruohong stared at the stove in the kitchen, watching the two cooks make chicken pieces three or four times before finally letting them make a plate with chicken wings.

Therefore, tonight, the tables of the masters in the house have a few more dishes made of chicken, but they are all without chicken wings.

Ruoxue smiled and said, "Okay, I'll eat two pieces, you eat more,......"

Ruohong smiled embarrassedly, "Look how many chicken bones I have here!" I can't eat any more. ”

"Then drink some chicken soup."

"Don't!"

Ruohong smiled and waved her hand, she didn't want to eat anything related to chicken today.

Peony came in and walked to Ruoxue's side, "Miss, the old lady asked Mother Wu to invite you over." ”

Mother Wu also came in with the peony, and said with a smile: "Miss, the old lady invites you to come over and talk." ”

"Didn't you see the eldest lady eating? Just stand there and wait. Dan Tang scooped half a bowl of purple rice porridge for Ruohong, and their young lady hadn't finished eating yet, how could they go.

Mother Wu glanced at Dan Tang coldly, and said with a smile: "What the girl said is that I trespassed." ”

Ruoxue turned sideways and looked at Mother Wu, "Mother Wu, please sit down." Lianxin, make a cup for Mother Wu. ”

"Don't dare to bother Miss Lianxin, I'll just sit here for a while, no need to make tea." Mother Wu waved her hand and sat down in the chair next to the little one, "The eldest lady doesn't need to inform the slave, you can eat." ”

Lian Xin turned around and went out, and came in with a cup of tea after a while, "You always taste it, this is this year's new tea that I only got yesterday." ”

Mother Wu thanked Lianxin with a smile, and slowly tasted the teacup.

Ruoxue drank two spoonfuls of chicken soup and asked casually, "Grandma is looking for me, I don't know what is the matter?" ”

Mother Wu just took a sip of tea, covered the lid and held the teacup, and said to Ruoxue: "I don't know, it's just that the second master came back from outside, sat in the old lady's room for a while, and said something, and the old lady called me to invite you over after listening to it." ”

Ruohong took a look at Ruoxue, this is what the second master heard outside, and went to tell the old lady, it seems that they know about Ruoxue gambling with others.

"The second uncle is still with Grandma, right?"

"I was there when I came out, and I don't know if I'm still there."

"It's not good, grandma and second uncle have been waiting for a long time." Ruoxue put down the soup bowl, let Lianxin Peony wait to rinse her mouth and clean her hands, and got up to follow Wu's mother to Songhe Courtyard.

Ruohong also washed up quickly, and pulled Ruoxue's sleeve to follow.

Mei Jishan was going home after teaching the students in the afternoon, and he didn't want Uncle Yang to find the school, so he hurriedly pulled him into a room.

"Do you know about your niece and nephew who took out your entire Mei family to bet with others?" Uncle Yang said without waiting to sit down.

Mei Jishan didn't know what he was talking about, so he frowned and asked Uncle Yang to sit down and talk, Uncle Yang casually picked up a chair and sat down, talking about the rumors that were only circulating in a few businessmen's homes.

Listening to what he said, he had a nose and eyes, Mei Jishan also believed half of it, and Uncle Yang saw that he didn't believe it very much, so he took him to Honghu Pavilion to find Ding Maolin for verification.

Mei Jishan went to see Mrs. Cao when he got home, and at that time, Mrs. Cao's house had just set up a meal, and he hadn't moved yet, so he didn't rush to say, thinking that he would wait for dinner and then talk to Mrs. Cao slowly.

When Mrs. Cao saw her son enter her house while eating, she knew that something had happened, so she asked him.

Mei Jishan saw Mrs. Cao asking, thought about it for a while, and slowly told Mrs. Cao about Ruoxue's bet with others and the Mei family's family business.

He was worried that telling her about this matter might make the old man angry, so he said it plainly and uneventfully.

Mrs. Cao guessed that something was wrong when she heard him talk about Ruoxue, and when she heard it, she slapped the table and asked Ruoxue to call, and asked her to bring the family law, she wanted to teach the unfilial descendant a good lesson.

The lights in the Songhe courtyard are brilliant, the maids are standing under the corridor, the breeze is gentle, and the lights are swaying and reflected in the ground a mottled piece.

Ruoxue and Ruohong were led into the hall by the maid when they arrived at the Songhe Courtyard, and there was a picture of the pine crane extending the year on the north wall of the house, and a table of eight immortals was placed on both sides of the table, and on both sides of the table were two Taishi chairs of Shoushan red pine.

There are six red pine high-backed chairs on each side of the east and west, and there are a few to separate them, leaving an aisle behind the chairs, and then there are a few potted plants and other things against the wall behind them.

Mrs. Cao sat on the chair of the first master, on the table on her left, a rattan more than three feet long was placed obliquely, and there were two maids with gold and silver beads standing beside her on her right.

Mei Jishan sat on the first high-backed chair in the east, and below sat Yang, Mei Zhiyuan, Mei Zhifang, Ruoxian and Ruofei sisters.

Ruoxue and Ruohong entered the house to salute Mrs. Cao, "Grandma." ”

"Don't dare to be, I don't have a granddaughter like you!" Old Madam Cao's tone was very alienated and cold.

Ruoxue Yingying stood up and blessed Mei Jishan and Yang again, before she looked at Old Madam Cao and said, "I don't know if Grandma has anything to tell me when she asks me?" ”

Yang snorted coldly and said, "You still have the face to ask?" You're going to give away our Mei family, we're all going to sleep on the streets, and you still have the face to stand here and talk?! ”

Ruoxue looked at the Yang family, "What does the second aunt mean by this?" Ruoxue doesn't understand. ”

Yang was choked to death by her sentence of "I don't understand", and when he opened his mouth to scold her for being a dead girl, he heard Mrs. Cao slap the table and shouted, "Kneel." ”

Ruoxue hesitated for a moment and slowly knelt down.

Ruohong stood there stunned for a moment, not knowing if she was going to kneel, and after a little hesitation, she also knelt down with her.

can't always let Ruoxue resist the oppression of the family alone.
