Fortunately, the drunk Xiao Jinglin was only slightly more talkative than usual and didn't look out of place. Otherwise, Xiao Jingxi might have been worried about how to take her back.
However, Xiao Jinglin, who talked a little more, still gave Xiao Jingxi a headache.
For example, when Xiao Jingxi was about to take her away, she stared into Xiao Jingxi's eyes stubbornly and said, "Second brother, you won't let me down, will you?"
Xiao Jingxi gestured for Hongying to help Xiao Jinglin downstairs, then asked irrelevantly, "Let's go. I'll pack a box of kidney bean rolls for you as a snack."
Xiao Jinglin waved Hongying's hand away and stood up steadily. As he walked out without changing his steps, he said to Xiao Jingxi expressionlessly, "I want two boxes of kidney bean rolls, a box of pineapple cakes, and ten jars of peach blossom wine."
Xiao Jingxi smiled and told Tong He, "Tell them to pack two boxes of kidney bean rolls and one box of pineapple cakes."
Xiao Jinglin turned around dissatisfiedly and added: "There is also peach blossom wine!"
Xiao Jingxi ignored her.
Xiao Jinglin bargained seriously as he walked: "Nine altars?"
…
Xiao Jingxi watched Xiao Jinglin get on the carriage. Xiao Jinglin still insisted through the curtain, "Two jars!"
Xiao Jingxi smiled helplessly, but said: "Not letting you down does not include indulging you in drinking."
Xiao Jinglin fell silent in the car.
Ren Yaoqi was still unaware of what had happened in Yunyang City, and the Ren family was not at peace either.
First, Ren Yaohua and Aunt Fang and her daughter started fighting again.
The cause of the incident was the maid Chun'er who was sold out by Ren Yaohua because she spilled wine on Ren Yaoqi at the last Qianjin Banquet.
Chun'er was sent back to Baihe Town by Ren Yaohua, and was beaten and sold by Madam Zhou. It was reasonable to say that Ren Yaohua had gone too far. After all, Chun'er was her sister's maid, not hers, so it was not her turn to decide her fate. Furthermore, there was an elder, the eldest wife, who had the final say in Yunyang City at the time.
However, because Ren Yaoqi had made the head of the Ren family proud at the Qianjin Banquet, and Ren Yaohua's performance was also quite remarkable, Old Master Ren and Old Madam Ren wanted to arrange an engagement for Ren Yaohua at this time, so they turned a blind eye to the matter. As for the eldest wife, because Ren Yaoyin had plotted against Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua, she did not bring up the matter with Old Madam Ren after she returned.
Now that Ren Yaoying is missing a senior maid, she naturally has to promote the second-class maid and add a third-class maid.
According to the previous rules, Aunt Fang had a lot of face, and the maids and servants for her and her daughter were all chosen by them according to their own wishes. No one would deliberately offend them.
This time, however, Ren Yaohua had Madam Zhou decide on Ren Yaoying's maid early in the morning and had it delivered directly to her. Concubine Fang and her daughter were also members of the Third House, and their staffing arrangements were understandably decided by the First Housewife. However, Ren Yaoying couldn't accept this. If Concubine Fang hadn't taken the maid on her behalf, she would have had the maid kicked out of the courtyard.
Despite Concubine Fang's repression, Ren Yaoying was still furious and couldn't sleep well all night. The next day, after the new maid had served Ren Yaoying, Ping'er, Ren Yaoying's newly promoted senior maid, reported her to the inner courtyard manager, saying that the new third-rank maid had stolen a golden hairpin from Miss Nine. Another maid had also seen her secretly tamper with Miss Nine's dressing box.
