Chapter 36 Awkward

Xiyun Pavilion

Shen Chuwei woke up from her nap and was very hungry, "Chunxi, I'm hungry."

Chunxi came over with a smile, "My lady, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

Shen Chuwei thought that the sweet potatoes planted in the backyard should be ripe, "I want to eat roasted sweet potatoes."

"No problem, I'll go dig it right away." Chunxi went to dig sweet potatoes happily.

Baking sweet potatoes is the easiest. Shen Chuwei took out tin paper from the space in advance, and waited for Chunxi to wash the sweet potatoes, then told her the key points of baking the sweet potatoes.

Chunxi is very smart and can learn it once taught.

First dig a hole and put sand in it, wrap the sweet potato with tin paper and put it in the hole and cover it with sand, then light a fire and start roasting.

When Xu Liangyuan and Tao Chenghui arrived, they saw smoke coming out of Xiyun Pavilion and thought there was a fire.

The two met halfway, both came to visit Xiyun Pavilion, and came together.

"Is this a fire?" Tao Chenghui took one look and ordered Ding Xiang, "Go and call someone. There's a fire."

Xu Liangyuan grabbed Tao Chenghui's hand, looking like she was enjoying the show. "Sister Tao, why are you in such a hurry? I think the fireworks won't be that big. Let's go in and take a look first."

"……But,"

"But what?"

Xu Liangyuan pulled Tao Chenghui in, and they saw a fire in the yard, not a fire.

Tao Chenghui breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately it wasn't a fire."

She took a step forward and bowed, "Sister Shen."

Xu Liangyuan held up her golden buyao. She was hoping that the woman would have a catastrophe. What a pity.

When Shen Chuwei saw them coming, she had no choice but to stand up and bow to Xu Liangyuan.

Xu Liangyuan glanced at the fire and asked with a slightly disdainful tone: "Sister Shen, what are you doing?"

"Roasted sweet potatoes." Shen Chuwei sat back on the stool while talking, and continued to eat melon seeds, saying, "Find a seat for yourselves."

Tao Chenghui had been here once. Seeing the small stool, he didn't mind it. He sat down with his skirt lifted up, and grabbed a handful of melon seeds to join in the eating.

Xu Liangyuan looked at the small stool with disdain in her eyes. Isn't it uncomfortable to sit on such a low stool?

She glanced around and saw nothing but a small stool, so she had no choice but to sit down.

When Chunxi saw the guests coming, she stood up and made tea. After a while, she came back with three cups of hot tea and placed them in front of the three of them.

Tao Chenghui was cracking melon seeds, which became more and more fragrant. She couldn't help but ask, "Sister Shen, these melon seeds taste good. Why don't the melon seeds in my palace have this fragrance?"

Shen Chuwei replied calmly: "Just different tastes."

"The taste is indeed different. The melon seeds here are really delicious."

Xu Liangyuan watched the two of them chatting while eating sunflower seeds, and looked at the sunflower seeds on the table. Aren't they just ordinary sunflower seeds? Are they that delicious?

Seeing how happily they were eating, she wanted to grab some to taste it. Just as she reached out her hand, she saw Shen Chuwei's hand reaching out to her. She hurriedly picked up the teacup, brought it to her lips and took a sip to hide her embarrassment.

Shen Chuwei felt a little thirsty after eating melon seeds for a while, so she picked up the teacup, took a few sips of tea, and continued eating melon seeds.

Xu Liangyuan drank tea and looked at the melon seeds on the table. She wanted to put down the teacup and grab some melon seeds.

As a result, when she reached out her hand, her fingertips touched the melon seeds. Tao Chenghui's hand then reached out and grabbed a handful of melon seeds. She quickly withdrew her hand in embarrassment.

Tao Chenghui noticed Xu Liangyuan's action and guessed that she wanted to eat some melon seeds. She raised her lips and asked with a smile: "Sister Xu, these melon seeds taste good, don't you want to try them?"

Xu Liangyuan held up her temples, looking arrogant: "There are all kinds of melon seeds in my palace, I'm tired of them, and these melon seeds smell just so-so to me."

"Of course, my sister eats and uses the best things, which we can't compare with." Tao Chenghui cracked a melon seed and continued, "My father traveled all over the country, but he never brought me such delicious melon seeds."

Tao Chenghui's father was a famous wealthy businessman. What he ate and drank was no worse than Xu Liangyuan's. On the contrary, it was several times better. After all, her mother's family provided her with a lot of financial support, so she had no shortage of money.

So although Tao Chenghui's status was not as high as Xu Liangyuan's, money made things happen, and she lived a very comfortable life in the palace.

Xu Liangyuan was the daughter of a general. She looked down on merchants, was extremely vulgar, and had nothing to offer except money.

However, Tao Chenghui said that the melon seeds were delicious, so she also wanted to taste them to see if they were really as delicious as Tao Chenghui said.
