Chapter 51: The Spring Banquet (Fifth Update)
Yingyue hurried back to the mansion non-stop, and the result was ...... It's still late! After she was sprayed by Mr. Lin, she stood and listened to the class for an afternoon, and was fined 20 big characters!
I stayed up all night until half a night to finish copying! o(β₯οΉβ₯)o
What a tragedy!
It's all to blame for this eleventh elder brother!! This damn reborn man, if you want to take the heir, you can take it! I actually came to find trouble with my mother!! Disgusting!
Ying Yue was slandering endlessly, and Yongying in the palace kept sneezing.
Shunrong took out a piece of mint candy from her purse, and said softly with concern: "Look at your tired look, I'm afraid you didn't sleep last night, right?" Grab a mint for a pick-me-up. β
The degree of carefulness that has to be obedient is indeed incomparable to Baorong, as for Lingxiu and Lin Xiang'er are still ignorant little girls, needless to say. She was the only one who noticed that Yingyue was a little sleep-deprived so quickly.
Ying Yue hurriedly thanked her, and quickly stuffed the mint candy into her mouth, which was immediately cool and moisturized, and her mouth was full of words, only to feel that her mind was much clearer, "Where did I buy this mint candy, it tastes good!" β
Shunrong said softly: "My aunt made it." β
Ying Yue was stunned, Shunrong's biological mother, Aunt Zhou?
Baorong said lightly: "Aunt Zhou's family is already doing the work in the kitchen, so Aunt Zhou's cooking skills are also very good." β
Baorong's words were just a statement of facts, but in front of so many people, announcing the identity of Shunrong's biological mother Zhou as the son of the Fushang family was tantamount to a slap in the face to Shunrong.
Ying Yue secretly thought that Baorong's attitude towards Shunrong seemed to be more critical recently...... Sure enough, it was because Eniang hired a retired grandmother in Concubine Shu's palace to teach Shunrong etiquette, which made the Guerjia clan dissatisfied. Baorong was dissatisfied with Shunrong because of this......
Even though Shunrong is a person who can swallow his anger, his face is a little blue at the moment.
Baorong ignored her completely, and said to Yingyue with a smile: "Yueniang, where did you run at noon yesterday?" It's late, but it makes Mr. angry! β
Ying Yue sneered: "It's me who forgot the time." "Mr. Lin was really angry yesterday, in Mr. Lin's eyes, she was a smart and good student, but this good student ran out to play and missed the hour, so she was very angry.
Baorong smiled: "Whoever asks you to go out to play won't call me!" If only I had the hour to remind you, you wouldn't be too late! β
Ying Yue was just thinking about teaching Mama Xi, after all, her mother was not happy to give the fourth aunt, and she was afraid that Baorong would have a problem in her heart, so she didn't open her mouth to invite. However, Baorong's appearance doesn't seem to blame her.
Ying Yue hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I'm not worried, because my mother is ...... with the fourth aunt."
When Baorong heard this, he also showed a helpless look, "I don't understand it all the time, why does Eniang always be angry with Aunt Jiu!" Immediately, Baorong smiled again, "They are just angry for a few days, and it will be fine in two days." Yueniang, the elders, why should our juniors get involved? β
This is true, but there is something in Baorong's words. The younger generation should not be involved in the affairs of the elders, but Shunrong deliberately curryed favor with her mother, and also got an experienced retired old lady in the palace from her mother to teach the rules and etiquette......
Sure enough, does Baorong feel that Shunrong has nothing to do?
In the afternoon, the Cheng'en Mansion held a spring banquet, and the fourth aunt Guerjia sent the grandmother around her to inform Mr. Lin, and the afternoon class was exempted.
Gege's studies are so relaxed, guests at home, or what banquet there is, or who needs to be visited, just the elders say hello to the husband.
I don't know if Shunrong Baorong doesn't have to read in the afternoon, Yingyue and Lingxiu are also invited, so they have half a day to spare.
Thinking that she was very angry that she was late yesterday and made Mr. Lin very angry, Yingyue had the heart to make up for it, so she smiled and said, "Sir, Zuo is just my own spring banquet, why don't I take Xiang'er with me." β
Lin Xiang'er's small, white and baby fat face showed a look of longing, how could a little girl at this age not like to play? Since Mr. Lin taught in the Zhongyong Mansion, Lin Xianger has never gone out to meet outsiders.
Ying Yue thought that it was just a family banquet in Cheng'en Mansion, and Mr. might agree, so she dared to mention it.
Mr. Lin thought for a while, and his expression eased a lot, "I understand Gege's kindness." β
Lin Xiang'er's pink smiling face was smooth, and her clear eyes were dim.
Ying Yue sighed, why did Mr. Lin discipline his daughter so strictly? Ying Yue said: "Cheng'en Mansion is not an outsider, I take Xiang'er with me, and I will be responsible for taking care of her, can Mr. still trust me?" β
Mr. Lin hurriedly said: "It's not that I can't believe Gege, it's just Xiang'er...... A place like the Cheng'en Mansion is not a place where Xiang'er should go. β
Ying Yue frowned, she probably understood what Mr. Lin meant. Mr. Lin is afraid that Xiang'er will indulge in it because he sees too much wealth and wealth...... Yes, Mr. Lin is just a lifter, and Xiang'er is just a lifter's daughter, with such an identity, she communicates with rich and prominent people all day long, but she is afraid that she will be scorned.
Besides, Xiang'er is not a beauty, don't look at the age of only six or seven years old now, she will definitely look outstanding when she grows up in the future. A girl with a low status but outstanding appearance, if she often interacts with Xuanhe's family...... It's still early to think about this, but it never hurts to prepare early.
Ying Yue thought of these two, so she was not reluctant, but smiled and promised Xiang'er that she would bring her some delicate and delicious pastries back, and then left.
Seeing that the Geges were gone, Mr. Lin looked at his little daughter with a sad expression, and his expression was a little pitiful, "What do I mean, Xiang'er understands?" β
Lin Xiang'er said timidly: "What Daddy means, Xiang'er doesn't understand very much." But Xiang'er knows that her father is for Xiang'er's good, and Xiang'er will listen to her father's words. β
Mr. Lin smiled and nodded, his daughter has always been the most well-behaved and obedient. Mr. Lin sighed secretly, "Xiang'er must understand that you are different from those few Gege, don't say that those two princesses are out of character, even if they are Shun Rong Gege, we are far from comparable." β
Lin Xiang'er nodded her little head slightly, "Xiang'er has always understood. Although the two princesses are very kind, she also understands that her identity is at most slightly better than the girls around Gege.
Mr. Lin sighed and said: "In life, the most important thing is to keep your duty in order to be safe for a long time." "ββXiang'er, this girl is a beauty, if she grows up, she wants to be prosperous, and she will be a concubine for those Xuanhe sons, how can she be safe and long-term? How can he and his wife only have this one daughter, how can they not worry about her future?
Although Xiang'er is small now, she has to guard against it.
