Chapter 100 Returning a Favor

Chang Xixi forced a smile, "Then Miss Zhang from your family is really thoughtful of me. She even thought of all this." The fallen leaves piled in the corner and the rotten lotus leaves in the lotus pond, how could they look like they were welcoming distinguished guests?

It was obvious that the servant was lying, but she didn't like to expose the identities of these people, so she whispered to Xiaohong to give her a reward.

Xiaohong must be unhappy. This man is obviously a mean person. If she gives him money, he will become more arrogant. It would be better to help Miss Zhang teach him a lesson.

Chang Xixi glared at her and said, "Give him the money."

He gave the money out with a wronged look on his face, snorted at the man, and told him unhappily, "Get off! The road behind here, the young lady and I both know."

"Thank you very much, Miss Chang. Thank you so much."

After the people walked away, Xiaohong caught up with Chang Xixi who was already walking in front and complained in a low voice: "Miss, why are you still giving him money? It's obvious...it's obvious."

"I know what you mean. But this is someone else's home, not your own, so it's important to be more restrained. You know he's asking for a reward, so just give him the money. Why are you still arguing with him?"

"But, but he is too bullying. He thinks that you don't understand and that you are the one being taken advantage of. I can't stand his rudeness."

"If a random cat or dog scratches you, would you still make a fuss about it? What etiquette do those animals have? What manners do they use? Are they human beings? Why should you teach them some principles of life when they have no relationship with you? Let me ask you, is he your relative, or is he eating your rice in your house? And he is so sincere and open-hearted? Sometimes, things that can be solved with money should be solved with money. What I lack the least now is money, and what I lack the most is connections! Miss Zhang is now actively trying to get closer to me, should I turn against her for a servant?"

"cannot."

"You know you can't! How can you act impulsively?" Chang Xixi said with a look of frustration. It was really... and he was still angry with her. Did those few cents count as money? To her now, they were no longer money!

It is enough to let that villain leave quietly.

"No, I can't. But, but she is too bullying, I can't help but be angry." Xiaohong pouted. The young lady was not like this before. In the past, she would have slapped her twice.

The young lady has become a different person since she returned from Wanfu Village. She is no longer herself.

Chang Xixi saw Xiaohong's face, which was full of resentment. This little girl's thoughts were still very ancient. There was nothing she could do about it, because her thoughts were very advanced.

"Miss, I just don't understand why you have to be so polite to him."

"Was I being polite? I just thought he was a janitor and sent him away. Did you see me being polite to him? Did I even say a word to him? I gave him a tip out of respect for Miss Zhang."

As they were talking, they came to today's home ground, which was a very open area with just the right autumn weather.

So, in fact, we came here to appreciate chrysanthemums. There are all kinds of chrysanthemums, some are called "rich and prosperous", some are called "I am so pitiful", etc. There are also various colors, such as pink, yellow, green, and purple.

Some have hanging petals, while others have straight petals.

As the two entered the garden, they heard Miss Zhang's voice. She was asking Zhou Zhiwei, "Zhiwei, you and Xixi live in the same mansion, why didn't she come in with you? Didn't you say your carriage broke down and that you came together?"

In just over a year, Zhou Zhiwei had honed his skills. "Xixi asked me to come first, probably because she had told the servants to run some errands. She's been very busy lately, and I've only been around the house a few days. Mother also spared her the trouble of paying respects. She's a big shot in Ruzhou City now, and many people want to see her."

"This is a good thing! In the future, we must play with her more and learn some literary talent." How could Miss Zhang not know what Zhou Zhiwei meant? Chang Xixi is now a leader and doesn't think much of you, so she has neglected you.

"I came here just to think of a gift for Miss Zhang. Last time, I gave you something really nice. If I don't give you something good this time, I'll be laughed at and everyone will laugh at me."

Chang Xixi said this and asked Xiaohong to deliver the gift.

This was not a good thing. Miss Zhang knew it at a glance. She only heard Chang Xixi say, "This is the dress my mother made for me before I left. I have never been willing to wear it. I think Miss Zhang and I have a deep affection for each other, and my mother is just like your mother. This dress I am wearing was also made by my mother, so why not give it to you as a gift to show my affection for you."

Miss Zhang saw the needlework, the material and workmanship, both of which were of high quality, and the embroidery of small country flowers, which was quite elegant, so she gladly accepted the dress.

Her personal maid saw that the stitching and technique were exactly the same as the one on Chang Xixi, and she did not think she was lying. She just thought that the man was really kind to her young lady, and she looked at Chang Xixi with a different eye.

The awkward situation was successfully broken when Chang Xixi arrived. Zhou Zhiwei also felt bored and found a place to sit down.

"Xixi, I heard early this morning that you prepared some fun programs for everyone. Now that you're here, please stop keeping us in suspense. You're making us itch."

Chang Xixi also found a place to sit down, looking at the chrysanthemums in the teacup, and then looking at the thing that was almost made of chrysanthemums.

She smiled knowingly. She thought these young ladies didn't understand these things, but she didn't expect them to be so hardworking.

"I'll talk about this in the afternoon. I guarantee you'll forget everything else. This morning, it's up to you, my host, to arrange some fun for me. I promised you I wouldn't drink."

"Okay. How about we pay fines? There's a bottle over there, and we'll use the arrows of the men outside to throw them into it. We'll see who throws the most. Two coppers each time."

"It's pretty good, fun and interesting, and it doesn't cost a lot of money."

The other young ladies all joined in the fun and found this thing very interesting. They went in groups of three or four and took copper coins from the maids beside them.

The loser has to put the money in a plate on the side, and the money will be used to prepare a banquet at noon.

Chang Xixi stood behind the red line and tried to throw an arrow, but the bottle mouth was too small. She didn't get in, walked away disappointed, and watched a lady behind her throw it in directly.

Miss Zhang smiled and joked, "Our Xixi doesn't even know how to play this little game. Where do you put your penny? Let us have some free food too."

Zhou Zhiwei also laughed, but she was very angry in her heart. Today, she was in the spotlight.
