This boring family banquet came to an end in the midst of everyone's greetings.

Xue Hainiang is not a person who is greedy for cups, from beginning to end she just drank three or five cups, and as soon as the banquet was dispersed, she was helped back to Furong Garden by Mingxi.

As for the Li family and the Lin family, they were called to Tanyuan by the old lady.

Xue Hainiang originally intended to follow, but was rejected by Li with a smile, saying that she was afraid that the old lady would think too much.

Xue Hainiang knows her mother's nature, and because she has not been favored by her father and taken care of by the old lady over the years, she has acted cautiously, for fear that something will go wrong.

But she couldn't do too much at the moment, so she could only sigh softly and go back to her yard with Mingxi.

Although she drank three or five glasses, Xue Hainiang still didn't like the faint smell of wine on her body, and as soon as she returned to Furong Garden, she instructed Mingxi to prepare hot water.

Leaning on the chaise longue, flipping through some poetry collections, and chanting a sentence softly from time to time, it is also happy to be idle.

After Mingxi filled the bath bucket, Xue Hainiang was already drowsy, dragged her tired body, walked to the screen, and Mingxi waited to take off her clothes, step into the bath bucket, and bury her body in the water.

"Mingxi, I have a smell of wine, you go and get some petals, so that you can get rid of this wine. Xue Hainiang frowned slightly, a little disgusted with the smell of wine on her body.

Mingxi responded with a smile and walked outside.

About a cup of tea, Mingxi appeared in front of Xue Hainiang with a bamboo basket, she sprinkled the dried rose petals into the water, until the petals gradually covered the water surface, Mingxi put the bamboo basket aside, and carefully pinched Xue Hainiang's shoulder.

Xu felt bored, and Mingxi's broken thoughts came up, "Miss, don't you know, I heard that it was the Lin family and the old lady who almost quarreled over there in Tanyuan......

Xue Hainiang was originally closing her eyes to recuperate, but when she heard the words, she opened her eyes, "Lin and the old lady?"

In my memory, the Lin family has always tried her best to please the biggest master in the backyard, the old lady, and now, what kind of style did she smoke that made her lose her sense of proportion and quarrel with the old lady.

"Are you sure it's the Lin family and not your mother?" asked Xue Hainiang uncertainly.

In the past, the old lady seemed to have been targeting her mother, and the mother was also a person with a heart, unwilling to bow to the old lady, since she married into the house, many things in the backyard were disagreed with the old lady, at first she would more or less quarrel a few words, in recent years, she has been smoothed out and learned to retreat.

Mingxi hesitated for a moment, and she hesitated: "This ...... The slave also listened to the girl outside, but it sounded like it was the Lin family. ”

Xue Hainiang couldn't cry or laugh, this petal bath is now unsoakable, thinking of this, she instructed Mingxi: "Hurry up and prepare clothes for me, I want to go to Tanyuan." ”

If it was really her mother who had a dispute with the old lady, she really had to go there in person, so as not to suffer a big loss to the other party.

Mingxi answered the call and was about to take a step, but was stopped by Xue Hainiang, "I remember, your skills in making cloud cakes are no worse than mine, right?" she smiled a little slyly.

Mingxi was slightly positive, and then bowed his head and said: "A few years ago, when Mother Liu, who left the kitchen, taught Miss, Mingxi was indeed a bystander, and later he also beat Miss, and later did it for Miss a few times, thinking that the craftsmanship of the slave should be the same as that of Miss." ”

Xue Hainiang grinned, the pear vortex was lightly sunk, she had always been indifferent and elegant in front of people, but at this moment, she looked a little more delicate and lovely, and for a while, Mingxi was actually stupid.

The people in Beijing only praised the second miss of Xue Mansion for being gorgeous and playful and cute, talented and knowledgeable, but now she sees that Xue Qiaoling's gorgeous crown is superb, delicate and cute, and she is not as bright and smiling as her own young lady.

"That being the case, I bothered Mingxi to make a plate of cloud cake for me, and I took a good soak in this rose bath here. ”

Mingxi can be regarded as coming back to his senses, and he stomped his feet in annoyance, but he didn't dare to disobey and ran to the kitchen.

Xue Hainiang smiled, leaned on the tub, closed her eyes lightly, and thought about how to compete with them later.

About a quarter of an hour later, Mingxi came to the inner room with a cloud cake, and at this time, Xue Hainiang was already neatly dressed, sitting in front of the dresser and combing her hair in a bun.

When she saw Mingxi, she smiled and said, "Hurry up and pack the cloud cake, and follow me to Tanyuan to see the old lady." ”

Xue Hainiang came to Tanyuan with Mingxi, and when she saw the little girl, she said that she had made some cloud cakes with her own hands and asked the old lady to taste them.

Seeing that it was Miss Yan, the little girl didn't dare to be embarrassed, so she respectfully entered the hall to report, and after a while, Xue Hainiang was passed in.

As soon as she stepped into the front hall, Xue Hainiang felt the strange atmosphere in the hall.

Xue Jingzheng put his arm around Xu Lianshuang, the old lady sat on the concubine's chair, Li stood far away in front of the gold-inlaid beams, and Lin knelt on the ground.

The Lin family was a little anxious: "Old lady, it's not that the concubine is too talkative, the Xu family has just started, although the master made her a concubine, how can she live in the Splendid Pavilion that is a little more luxurious than the lady's Qiushui Residence, this is not in accordance with the rules!"

As soon as Xue Hainiang stepped into the hall, she listened to Lin's voice like the first cry of a warbler, Rao is old, but Lin's voice is still yearning, and it is no wonder that he was able to charm Xue Jingzheng back then.

The old lady was already impatient, and when she saw Xue Hainiang coming, she hurriedly greeted her: "Hainiang come, let the old man taste your craftsmanship." ”

After speaking, he looked at the Lin family and said perfunctorily: "Okay, okay, you are also the one who gave birth to Qiaoling, why should such a trivial matter be so serious, and you still have an argument with the Li family, and you are not afraid to make your subordinates look at the joke." ”

Xue Hainiang narrowed her eyes, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, it turned out that it was actually a subordinate who spread the rumor and spread the dispute between the Lin family and the Li family into a dispute between the Lin family and the old lady......

Xue Hainiang smiled brightly, "Hainiang obeys." ”

Xue Hainiang glanced at the Lin family, and said with a smile: "Aunt Lin, do you want to try the cloud cake made by Hai Niang herself?"

The Lin family suppressed the disgust in his heart, but Yurong was like a flower blooming, "Since it was made by the young lady herself, it is the blessing of the concubine." ”

Xue Hainiang replied again: "Auntie, don't kneel, these trivial things, it's not too late to talk about these trivial things after tasting Hainiang's cloud cake." ”

Lin sneered in his heart, but said on his face: "Hai Niang just came, how do you know what happened?"

Xue Hainiang covered her lips and chuckled, "Although Hainiang didn't witness it with her own eyes, she walked along the way, listening to her subordinates chewing their tongues there, and she knew some ...... more or less."

The old lady's face suddenly became ugly when she heard this, how could she, who had always looked at face, endure such a scandalous thing to be watched by her subordinates?

She looked at Lin angrily and scolded: "Look at it, even Hai Niang is more measured than you!"

Even if the Lin family is dissatisfied, she can only swallow her anger, and in front of the old lady, she really doesn't dare to make a mistake.

She tugged at the corners of her mouth and said flatteringly: "Old lady, you are dissipated, is it a concubine?" ”

The matter was resolved after Lin's regression, and after taking a step back, Lin also understood how angry the old lady was with his words, so he thought about remedy, so he took the initiative to mention Xue Hainiang's cloud cake and change the topic.

Xue Hainiang naturally wouldn't let her save her image as she wished, and when everyone was tasting the cloud cake, she suddenly spoke: "Hainiang heard that Aunt Lin and her mother quarreled over Aunt Xu's residence?"
