At noon on a sunny spring day, in the study of Jinxiu Residence.
Xiao Yunchen was buried in his work at his desk, while Li Sisi was lazily leaning on the wooden couch by the window, reading until she fell asleep.
"Young Master, the old lady asks you and the second lady to have dinner in the front yard." Ru Liu's voice suddenly came from outside the house.
Li Sisi's confused thoughts suddenly cleared up, and she looked up at the man who was handling official business seriously.
Inquiring eyes:?
"knew."
Xiao Yunchen responded, while cleaning the wolf-hair brush stained with black ink, and said: "It should be Princess Su who is staying at the mansion for dinner. If you don't want to deal with it, then don't go."
Li Sisi thought about it and thought that since the old lady came to call her, she must have called not only her, but also Nian Nian would go as well.
Li Sisi stood up and threw the book aside. "Go, why shouldn't I go?"
She wanted to see what the old woman and Princess Su were trying to do!
Li Sisi glanced at the man who had come to her side and snorted in her heart.
It’s a good opportunity to see Xiao Yunchen’s attitude.
When I walked out of Jinxiu Residence and headed to the front yard, I happened to meet Li Nian who was holding Jinhe.
Li Sisi trotted forward happily, coaxing Jinhe to let her hold her, and walked into the front yard dining room with Li Nian, chatting and laughing.
In the small hall outside the dining room, Madam Xiao was talking to Su Muyan with a beautiful smile on her face.
The two best friends looked at each other and curled their lips.
The scene before me is so familiar.
The last time the old woman acted like this was when she was hosting Wen Luoxin for dinner at her house.
Xiao Yunchen was the first to step forward and called out, "Mother."
Mrs. Xiao responded with a smile.
The two best friends also came forward, saluted, and called for help.
Mrs. Xiao frowned, not hiding her displeasure at all.
When his eyes fell on Jinhe in Li Sisi's arms, his already frowned brows became even tighter, and the displeasure on his face deepened.
Perhaps because her son was right in front of her, Mrs. Xiao didn't say much.
Madam Xiao said in a cold tone: "Take a seat!"
Everyone took their seats in turn, and the maids serving in the dining hall began to serve the dishes.
The food at the Xiao Mansion is relatively light.
Jinhe was able to eat now, so Li Nian took the child from Li Sisi's arms and fed her on her own.
Madam Xiao looked back and forth between Su Muyan and her son, then said with a smile: "Muyan, don't be polite. Your mother and I are close friends, so just treat us like family."
Su Muyan smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Madam Xiao turned her gaze to her son again and said with a smile, "Chen'er, take a piece of the cinnamon-flavored glutinous lotus root slices in front of you and give it to Mu Yan. She has a similar taste to you and doesn't like spicy food."
Xiao Yunchen was about to pick up the dish when he paused and withdrew his hand.
Then he told the maid, "Serve the guests some food."
Madam Xiao glared at the maid unhappily and was about to speak.
But Xiao Yunchen had already carefully picked out the fish bones and put the fish meat into Li Sisi's bowl: "My wife likes sweet and sour fish."
"Chen'er!" Madam Xiao felt embarrassed that her dignity was being ignored, and her tone became a little higher.
Xiao Yunchen seemed unaware and took another piece of fish: "Mother, please have some too."
Su Muyan watched the interaction between several people, thinking of the instructions given by her father and brother before she came.
He spoke at the right moment, "I just returned to the capital a few days ago, so I don't know many people. I'd like to invite you two ladies to the poetry gathering on the eighth day of next month. Would you be so kind as to honor me?"
Li Sisi refused outright: "No."
"Of course I have to go." Mrs. Xiao said at the same time.
Madam Xiao glared at Li Sisi angrily: "Shen, do you really have to go against me?"
Li Sisi rolled her eyes: "I was invited, so it's my decision whether to go or not."
Seeing this, Su Muyan hurriedly tried to persuade him, "If it's inconvenient for the Second Madam..."
Madam Xiao interrupted, "How could that be? She is just like that. She is used to being unrestrained and has no mannerisms like a lady from a noble family."
She turned to Xiao Yunchen and said, "Chen'er, go with Mu Yan."
A dark light flashed in Xiao Yunchen's eyes, and he glanced sideways at Li Sisi beside him.
But he saw his wife staring at him with an unhappy expression, her eyes seemed to say, "Do you dare to agree to one and give it a try?"
He hurriedly whispered, "Madam, I will go with you then."
Li Sisi was so angry that her cheeks puffed up, and she wished she could raise her hand and slap the man next to her away!
Who just said that the Wen family and the Su family should not be provoked and should be kept away from?
Now when someone asks you, you just agree?
What happened? After marrying Wen Luoxin, here comes Su Muyan?
Li Sisi sneered, "Xiao Yunchen, your peach blossoms are blooming beautifully!"
A flash of doubt crossed Xiao Yunchen's mind, and then he remembered the peach tree in the courtyard of the Shen Mansion.
He said softly, "If my lady likes it, I'll have someone plant a few more trees in the yard."
Hearing this, Li Sisi gritted her teeth in anger: "Okay! How about I make you a few green hats?"
Xiao Yunchen was puzzled. Why did it bring up this again?
"Is blue good?" he asked seriously. "Blue looks more comfortable."
My wife has always loved blue, and her house in the northwest is full of blue home decorations.
Li Sisi glanced at Su Muyan, who was wearing a brocade blue dress across the table.
Great, blue is pleasing to the eye, right?
Li Nian listened to the conversation between the few people and was glad that there was no such thing as "green hat" in this world, otherwise she didn't know what these people would think of Sisi.
Su Muyan smiled and said, "If that's the case, then on the eighth day of next month, this princess will be waiting for you at the poetry gathering."
Xiao Yunchen nodded slightly in response.
Li Sisi was so angry after the meal.
Mrs. Xiao felt proud when she saw Li Sisi's angry look.
She pretended to say, "Mu Yan, I'm a vulgar daughter-in-law. I'm just going to the poetry gathering to join in the fun. Please bear with me."
Su Muyan smiled gently: "Don't worry, old lady, Muyan will definitely take care of it. Besides, I heard that there are other entertainments at the poetry gathering, not just reciting poems and composing couplets."
Madam Xiao looked at her and smiled, "Then I'll trouble you, Mu Yan, to take care of it on the day of the poetry gathering."
Li Sisi looked at the two people who were singing in unison, and then looked at Jinhe, who was full and looking around with her big black eyes.
Li Sisi dropped her chopsticks and said, "I'm full."
She stood up: "Niannian, let's go!"
Mrs. Xiao was embarrassed when she saw her unruly appearance: "Ms. Shen, what's your attitude? Didn't your mother teach you table manners?"
Li Sisi glanced at her sideways: "Education depends on the person. Are you worthy of it?"
After saying that, she didn't even look at the family and pulled Li Nian out.
Madam Xiao's indignant voice came from behind: "Look at you, look at your wife! She really doesn't take me, her elder, seriously at all!"
Xiao Yunchen persuaded in a low voice.
Li Sisi pulled Li Nianyi and walked out without looking back.
She knew that she would never have a happy life after returning to the Xiao Mansion!
