Chapter 156 Are the master and the servant all thieves?
"Lihua, your craftsmanship is so rare!" Mrs. Min couldn't let go of the fan. She held it in her hand and didn't let go even when others begged to see it.
Yang Lihua was neither modest nor overconfident. She smiled gently and replied, "I haven't embroidered for several years, so my skills are not very good. I hope you don't mind. When I have some free time, I will practice more and embroider a better one for you."
"That's great!" Mrs. Min originally wanted to promote Yang Lihua, but she only wanted to introduce her to the guests and make them familiar with her.
No one expected Yang Lihua to be so competitive and impress everyone with her real abilities.
Even when new guests arrived, Mrs. Min rushed to greet them, and Yang Lihua also chatted lively with the remaining ladies.
Of course, most people were curious about Yang Lihua's identity and asked more questions.
Yang Lihua did not hide anything and responded neither arrogantly nor humbly.
When everyone heard that she was just a farmer's wife, they thought they had heard it wrong. They were half-believing and half-doubting and dared not neglect her.
Yang Lihua chose a seat near the door, and Zhuzhu sat next to her mother. She listened obediently to the adults' conversation while attacking the snacks on the table.
Yang Lihua usually spoils her daughter, but she also teaches her daughter strict rules.
Zhuzhu ate the snacks without being in a hurry or dropping any crumbs. She just nibbled them with small bites, puffing up her little face and squinting her big eyes happily from time to time because of the delicious snacks.
Everyone present was a woman, and had children. Seeing the fat girl like this, they were so envious that they wanted to reach out and poke her chubby little face...
Seven or eight more ladies arrived one after another, and the room became even more lively.
The ladies of each family also brought their children, so Mrs. Min asked someone to call her daughter out to entertain the guests.
Miss Min was also taught strictly. She greeted the little girls from each family and then took them to her own yard to play.
Zhuzhu was of course among them, and because she was too young, Miss Min personally held her hand.
Yang Lihua was worried, so she asked Chunhong to go over and take care of her.
With more women, there are naturally more topics to talk about.
You talked about the children and the elderly at home, and she talked about rouge, powder, clothes and jewelry, it was very lively.
Yang Lihua sat in an inconspicuous position. Most of the time she just listened with a smile, and sometimes she would take a moment to relax when she had some free time.
A few days ago, a family was robbed in the county town. It is said that the thief even drew a turtle on the man's face, which almost made the family angry and scared to death.
But it was a rare joke in the mouths of outsiders. At least the women in the room covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and laughed so hard that they were shaking.
At this moment, an inconspicuous little maid came in from outside, walked along the wall to the incense burner, changed an incense cake, and then lit it.
Yang Lihua had nothing to do, so she just took a few more glances.
After a while, a maid came to Madam Min to report that the banquet was almost ready.
Madam Min ordered a maid, "Go and invite the young ladies over, the banquet is about to begin."
Soon, Zhuzhu came back with a group of little girls.
Yang Lihua looked at her daughter's blushing face and felt relieved as she guessed that she was not bullied.
She held her daughter in her arms and asked softly, "What did Zhuzhu play just now? Was it interesting?"
Zhuzhu laughed and shook her head, showing off to her mother, "My sister brought some snacks for Zhuzhu, and there are also fruits! They are very sweet! Mom, when Zhuzhu grows up and earns money, I will buy some for you too!"
Yang Lihua guessed that her daughter was young and the other girls were playing, so she was afraid of hurting her, so she gave her food and drink to coax her into not making trouble.
As Zhuzhu was talking, she remembered that she didn't know the name of the dim sum, so she hurried to find out where Miss Min was sitting and wanted to ask her.
But she suddenly frowned, blinked her big eyes, and her little face was full of confusion.
"Mom, why is your hair so gray?"
Yang Lihua was stunned when she heard this, and then quickly covered her daughter's mouth.
She looked around and saw that everyone was talking and laughing, and no one was paying attention to her.
She leaned over to her daughter's ear and whispered, "Zhuzhu, tell me carefully, what are the differences between us?"
Zhuzhu thought of the agreement with her grandfather and felt very conflicted.
But her mother loves her the most, so she can’t tell anyone and can’t hide it from her mother!
So, she whispered, "Mom, there's a gray cloud above your heads! This means you're going to have bad luck, um, no, something bad is going to happen!"
She wanted to explain herself clearly, but her vocabulary was limited, so she couldn't help but express herself incoherently.
But Yang Lihua understood and quickly asked, "What about the children coming in from outside? Is it the same?"
Zhuzhu tilted her head, looked around, and then responded in surprise, "Mom, it was all white just now, but now it's all gray!"
Yang Lihua's breath reached her throat. Her expression remained unchanged, but her mind was racing.
If what my daughter said was true, it was the people in the house who had problems first, and the children who came in later were implicated.
So what is it that can infect and affect everyone?
Tea?
dessert?
Of course, those who were in the house had eaten and drunk, but the children who came in later didn't eat anything!
what else……
She suddenly looked towards the hollow incense burner in the corner, where curling green smoke was wafting out continuously...
It smells good, there must be something wrong with the smell!
Yang Lihua breathed a sigh of relief, but she had to think of a way to get the incense burner out.
I definitely can't tell Mrs. Min directly, otherwise everyone else will pay attention, and if it gets out of hand, it won't help the Min family, but will ruin their reputation!
