Chapter 9 009 It turns out that Aunt Xue’s family is not good enough.
In view of the Wang family's relatively distinguished status in Jinling, the birthday banquet for the old lady of the Wang family was held with great ceremony.
Not only did the aristocratic families in Jinling City come to participate, but many relatives and friends from several nearby cities also came.
There is no need to elaborate on the Lin family. Ever since Lin Ruhai, Jia Min and little Daiyu arrived at the Wang family two days ago, everyone has been getting along very happily.
And because Xianyu provided a method that might successfully save the younger brother of the Lin family, the three members of the Lin family were very happy and treated her even closer.
Especially little Daiyu, she basically treats Xianyu as her own sister.
They had only known each other for two or three days, but they felt like they were old friends from past lives... So, it is really hard to explain the fate between people. Some people may live under the same roof for their entire lives but are just the most familiar strangers, but with some people, you can fall in love at first sight and never forget them for the rest of your life.
Xianyu sighed inwardly, but she spoke from her heart, which made the people around her who could hear her think about it - as for who was moved and who was broken, System 003 said that seeing through but not saying it out loud is the basic practice that every human should do...
Apart from the Lin family, Xianyu basically met all the other visiting relatives and friends for the first time. Even if she had seen them before, she had long forgotten them, so this time she just treated it as a reacquaintance.
Because the Wang family was of high status, these relatives and friends treated Xianyu very kindly. System 003 had been idle for a long time because Xianyu was too lazy, and wanted to take this opportunity to output some explosive gossip to her, but it was often unsuccessful.
It was because Xianyu clearly stated that she was too lazy to eat gossip about these unfamiliar people. After all, they basically didn't have any contact with each other in normal times. Even if the gossip was explosive, it had nothing to do with her and she couldn't get interested at all.
In this regard, System 003 said that it was also helpless, but it did not dare to disobey Xianyu's wishes, so it could only continue to be treated as a food system by her. While feeling aggrieved, it still enthusiastically (?) contributed many recipes.
Xianyu likes delicious food, but she is not overly obsessed with it. Not only does she like to eat it herself, she also likes to share it.
At first, she only shared it with Feng Jieer, the old lady of the Wang family, and the maids and servants in her own room - after all, she was only responsible for the recipes, and the specific dishes still had to be made by the maids and servants.
Jia Min and Xiao Daiyu came these days and stayed at her house, so Xianyu had to expand the number of people she shared with.
Jia Min's personality is gentle and kind, and she is the elder, so after Xianyu was polite at first, she didn't take it too seriously. But little Daiyu is becoming more and more adorable.
The child is only four years old. Not only is she fair and pretty, but she is also smart, lively, and considerate. She is an extremely lovely little girl.
Xianyu has liked smart and cute children since she was a child. It can be said that she likes angel babies as much as she hates naughty children.
And little Daiyu is that kind of angel baby.
From the first time they met, Xianyu liked little Daiyu very much. After getting along with her, instead of feeling impatient, she liked the child even more.
The main reason is that this child is too smart and sensible. No wonder even though she encountered drastic changes in the original novel and had to live in the Jia Mansion, and was forced to develop a sensitive, thoughtful, cautious character, she was still liked by many people.
It’s really not easy.
Fortunately, the current little Daiyu has not experienced the tragedy of her younger brother's premature death and her mother's early death. She is more lively and cheerful than described in the original novel. In addition, she is smart and clever. If she wants to make people happy, no one can escape.
But after two days, little Daiyu had already surpassed Fengjieer, and Fengjieer accepted it very well.
Feng Jieer herself is a smart type, so of course she likes smart children more.
It’s just that the Wang family is going to hold a birthday banquet in the next two days, and she is the main worker there, so she doesn’t have much time to be lazy, chat and play.
For this reason, Sister Feng made a few real and fake complaints, saying that since Sister Lin was so good and everyone in the Wang family loved her so much, she couldn't just leave casually. She had to pull Jia Min aside and asked them to stay for a few more days. This made little Daiyu laugh so hard that she couldn't stop, and Jia Min couldn't help laughing either.
Unfortunately, although the wish was good, after the birthday banquet for the old lady of the Wang family was over, the entire Wang family would set off for the capital, and even if they wanted to keep the Lin family for a few days, it would not be possible. Fortunately, they could still pass by Gusu on their way back to the capital, so everyone simply agreed to go together and stay at the Lin family in Gusu for a day.
As guests, the Lin family gave Xianyu and her host family a very pleasant experience, which unconsciously raised Xianyu's expectations a lot.
She actually thought that all the guests of the Wang family were of this high quality, completely forgetting that there are always a few top-notch people lurking in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to suddenly jump out and disgust you.
The first group of people who came to disgust her were those from the Xue family.
Aunt Xue and her family came on the day of old lady Wang’s birthday.
But only the women came.
Uncle Xue didn't come.
The question is, I'm sick again.
He was sick “again”… That meant that this was not the first time he was sick, so much so that everyone thought it was normal for him to be sick.
It feels pretty miserable.
It seems that Uncle Xue was also a person who died young. I don’t know what disease he had.
Due to the influence of the original novel, Xianyu had always called them Aunt Xue and Uncle Xue, but when they officially met this time, she realized that she should actually call Aunt Xue "Aunt"...
Because Aunt Xue is the daughter of the old lady of the Wang family, and the biological sister of her stepfather Wang Ziteng, and her real aunt.
This is really something I never expected.
In fact, the Xue family is their real relative. That's right, although they are real relatives, they are not real people. When they met for the first time, Xianyu felt a little uneasy.
The third aunt who married into the Xue family was still a young wife in her early thirties who looked very young.
Although this age is not considered old in the real world, it is actually quite old in this era.
Many wives who were quick to act could become grandmothers at this age. For example, Xianyu's second aunt, Lady Wang, who married into Rongguo Mansion, had a son, Jia Zhu, who was already fifteen or sixteen years old and was said to have married. That meant she was about to become a grandmother.
Even this third aunt had given birth to two children, Xue Pan and Xue Baochai. The eldest son Xue Pan was nine years old and the daughter Xue Baochai was seven years old, but she still looked like a little girl who was ignorant of the world.
Moreover, she not only looks young, but also is unreliable in what she says and does. In short, she makes people feel that her mind is empty, she doesn't care about anything, she thinks everything is good, and nothing matters... She doesn't discipline her own children at all, and is not keen on contacting other relatives and friends.
I really don't know how the old lady of the Wang family, who is such a powerful person, could raise this little girl to be like this...
Everything else is fine, but it is very uncomfortable that Aunt Xue actually keeps Xue Pan with her all the time.
Xue Pan is nine years old now, neither a grown-up nor a child. He looks tall, fat and strong, not like a child. According to the ancient rule that boys and girls over seven years old should not sit at the same table, he should not be brought to the table with the women in the inner house.
However, because of Aunt Xue's doting, he actually followed Aunt Xue to the table with the women.
There were many girls on the female side who were about the same age as Xianyu, Fengjie and even Xiao Daiyu. He would greet each one he saw, staring at them with his eyes wide open, drooling, and praising them for their beauty in a lustful manner, which scared several timid girls to tears.
The old lady of the Wang family was unhappy at the time, and it was only after Sister Feng stepped in and negotiated that the guy was taken away.
Unfortunately, it was still a little too late, because at this time, Xianyu had already been disgusted by him.
To be fair, Xue Pan is not ugly and his facial features are regular, but he is a little fat, so he looks a little silly.
Furthermore, at this time he had already shown his greedy and lustful nature in the future, harassing young girls everywhere, which was really speechless.
Xianyu looked at him following behind Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai and Sister Feng, and came forward to greet her with a drooling face, shouting "Hello, Sister Xian" in a mess, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
Just as he was thinking about whether there was any way to get rid of this person, Xue Baochai, who had been quietly pretending to be a wallflower, suddenly spoke up.
"Today is my grandmother's birthday. Brother, please stop making a fuss. It's embarrassing and will make our relatives and friends laugh at us."
When Baochai said this, not only Xianyu and Fengjie were quite surprised, but even Aunt Xue was stunned, and Xue Pan was completely dumbfounded.
He was stunned for a long time before he reacted, and said with an unhappy face: "Sister, what are you talking about? Sister Xian is so beautiful, who wouldn't want to talk to her? I was happy to see Sister Xian, so I talked to her a few more words... How did it become a quarrel? Sister, are you saying this because you are jealous that Sister Xian is prettier than you?"
