"Huang Ying, come here and settle the bill for the guests." Xue Huan ignored her and called a maid in.
Huang Ying was the maid just now.
Madam Ye Er was furious. "What's wrong with you? I haven't even finished eating yet, why are you asking for the bill?"
Xue Huan feigned surprise: "Didn't you say you didn't want to eat anymore?"
As he spoke, he poured the duck intestines, beef tripe, and beef tripe on the table into the hot pot, slowly rinsed them with the serving chopsticks, picked up a piece of beef tripe and put it into his mouth. "Hmm, it smells so good! Some people are just unlucky and have to be isolated from these delicacies. Madam Ye, don't you agree?"
Madam Ye Er's face darkened.
Ye Shulan, who was already married, slammed her chopsticks on the table and said, "What kind of attitude is that?"
As a result, she accidentally knocked over the condiment dish, and the seasoning inside spilled on her newly made skirt. Ye Shulan screamed and stood up immediately, but she stepped on the skirt and lost her balance. She fell on her back and brought the chair over with her.
Xue Huan: “…”
One of them couldn't help but burst out laughing.
This stirred up a hornet's nest and attracted crazy accusations from the mother and daughter.
"Boss Zhao, what a man! He actually treats his customers like this!"
"For someone like you, don't even think about entering the Ye family!"
Xue Huan: ...excuse me?
Why didn't she understand this?
When was she going to enter her Ye family? These two people are so confusing.
She was too lazy to waste words with the mother and daughter, and directly made a "please" gesture to them: "Our small shop can't accommodate two big Buddhas, please come in."
"Mom, let's go!" Ye Shulan glared at Xue Huan fiercely, pulled Madam Ye Er out angrily, and when she passed in front of Xue Huan, she deliberately bumped into her.
Xue Huan would not give her the chance to bump into her, so she dodged first. Ye Shulan, who did not bump into anyone, staggered and almost fell.
"Be careful, don't fall."
The mother and daughter of the Ye family left the hot pot restaurant angrily and got on the carriage.
"Mom, this Zhao Xiaoxian must not enter our house, otherwise my second brother will be bullied to death by her!"
"Do you think I want to marry a daughter-in-law who's always in the spotlight? Our family is already stretched to the limit."
"Mom, is our family's situation already so serious?"
"What else could we do? All the money from the Ye family's shops was taken away by the eldest branch, and our second branch was treated like beggars and only got a few things.
"If I hadn't used my dowry to support our family over the years, our family would have been broke. And your father is a good-for-nothing. He only knows how to pretend to be cultured all day long. He has very little money in his pocket, but he still imitates others to support actors..."
"My second brother is one of the four young masters of Fengchi. He's a learned scholar at a young age. He's also very handsome and has a bright future ahead of him. Even if he wants to marry, he'll marry a girl from the Zhu, Fang, or Lin families. Zhao Xiaoxian has no parents and hasn't married at her age. Who knows what's wrong with her? If my second brother marries her, it would be like sticking a flower in cow dung."
Mrs. Ye wanted her son to marry the daughters of those families, but they ignored her. What could she do? She could only pick the tallest among the short ones.
"The fact that Zhao Xiaoxian has no parents is actually a good thing. When she enters our family, won't she be at the mercy of a mother-in-law like me? Will she dare to speak out? Even if she does, will anyone back her up? Once I take over all her shops and properties, I'll have Ziyao write her a letter of divorce!"
"Eh? You're really thoughtful, mother. Humph, she dared to treat me, her elder sister-in-law, like this today. As soon as she walks in, I'll let Ziyao give her a good beating!"
The mother and daughter, who were talking excitedly, had no idea that their conversation was overheard by the person involved.
On the second-floor balcony, Xue Huan withdrew her consciousness and chuckled. This mother and daughter really had a good plan!
After returning to the mansion, Chen Tian brought over a stack of invitations. Xue Huan took a look and found that they were all sent by prominent families in the county.
Either the girl from this family invited her to appreciate the flowers, or the lady from that family invited her to play cards.
What's going on? Why has she suddenly become so popular?
Originally, someone would occasionally send her invitations, but Xue Huan didn't like attending those ladies' gatherings, so she turned them down most of the time.
This is the first time I have received so many posts.
There was actually a Ye family, not the Ye family of Madam Ye Er who was driven away by her today, but the main Ye family where Ye Diao was.
It was a post made by the Madam herself.
Forget about other families, but we have to go to the Ye family.
"Reply to the Ye family and tell them that I will be there when the time comes."
Chen Tian agreed.
The Ye family invited her to appreciate chrysanthemums. On the day of the flower-viewing banquet, Xue Huan put on a newly made skirt, put on a hand-woven bamboo silk handbag, and took a carriage to the Ye Mansion.
When I arrived, I went to visit the old lady as usual.
The old lady can no longer be called old. She looks no more than forty, with a radiant face and full of energy. Sitting with the eldest lady, how can they look like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? It would be more appropriate to say that they are sisters.
The old lady was very grateful to Xue Huan for bringing these changes to her, but she couldn't say the reason out loud, so she could only make some compensation in other ways.
She held Xue Huan's hand affectionately, asked her to sit next to her, and took a closer look at her makeup today. "It's too plain. Young girls like you should dress more brightly. Haitang, go get the sandalwood carved and jade-inlaid box in my trunk."
When Haitang brought the box and the old lady opened it, it was suddenly glittering with jewels. The jewels inside all had great origins and were of great value in themselves.
She picked out a red jadeite pearl-shaped phoenix-shaped gold hairpin and slowly inserted it into Xue Huan's hair. She nodded with satisfaction and asked the maid to bring a mirror for Xue Huan to look at.
"Look, how beautiful. Only someone like Xiaoxian can match this hairpin." The old lady praised.
Ye Fu was a little jealous. "Grandma, do you only love Sister Xiaoxian? Don't you think I'm missing something?"
There are crazy hints in the words.
How could the old lady not love her? She laughed heartily upon hearing this and said, "You are indispensable."
He also took a hairpin and put it on her.
Ye Fu touched the new hairpin and smiled sweetly.
Chrysanthemums are in full bloom in Yeyuan Garden, including Xuanmo, Xiunu, Nijinxiang, Yulingguan, Zhushahongshuang, Zilongwoxue, Yaotaiyufeng... all kinds of rare varieties are dazzling.
This time, the Ye family invited many young men and women of the right age to the chrysanthemum viewing banquet, all of whom were unmarried.
Young men and women dressed up carefully stroll among the flowers, and an occasional casual eye contact can trigger a string of pink bubbles.
Qin took Xue Huan's arm and walked towards the garden. Ye Fu couldn't wait to meet up with her friends.
"Xiaoxian, these days, people come to visit Grandma from time to time, asking her indirectly about you."
"Ask about me?"
"Yes, many families are interested in marrying you."
Xue Huan: “…”
She suddenly realized something, "Could this be the flower viewing banquet today?"
