Chapter 107 The Scented Tea Prepared by My Grandmother

This time, she wanted to use what she had learned from her previous life to do it herself. Only when she took her fate into her own hands would she feel at ease.

After her family received the invitation from the flower post, grandma and grandpa began to discuss what kind of gift to prepare, and after some careful consideration, they decided to send wild chrysanthemums to dry at home.

Take a large basket, whether it is soaked in water to drink, or made into a fragrant flower pillow core, it is excellent.

Chang Xiuzhu hid in the dark and listened to the whole conversation.

She first found an excuse to get rid of her grandparents, and before coming to Cao's house for a banquet, she secretly searched for a plant in the village. She did not ask others to help her, and finally found the most important plant for her.

As soon as she crossed the threshold, she heard the guests chatting like this, which strengthened her determination that everything must be restored to its original position today.

When the village head's wife came to the women's table, she had been paying attention to the door, seeing that she was late, even though she came forward to greet her, she was quite critical of her.

"Xiuzhu, you're a little rude today!"

The wife of the village head reprimanded in a soft voice, Chang Xiuzhu was not wronged by the training, whose children didn't come in and out with the elders?

But she came in alone, which is not good.

Chang Xiuzhu didn't care, she accepted the mistake indifferently, and the village chief's wife couldn't scold her harshly when she was a guest at someone else's house, so the matter was exposed.

"Grandma, what about the gift from our family?"

The village head's wife pouted towards the corner: "No, it's over there."

"Compared with others, ours is too good."

When she said something worried, Chang Xiuzhu chuckled and continued.

"Grandma, although the chrysanthemums sent by our family are not amazing in appearance, they taste good. After dinner, everyone will drink tea to relieve the greasy. Isn't there a chance for our chrysanthemums to show their faces?"

"What do you mean?" Chang Xiuzhu stopped talking and didn't continue to talk. The wife of the village head was lost in thought, and Chang Xiuzhu left with an excuse.

She walked towards the place where the gifts were placed and turned around the corner.

This room is finally about to open, who sits in what position, who sits with, people like Cao's family have their own servants to greet them.

The First Madam and the Second Madam were in charge, and they would not invite those who had disagreements with each other to the same table. Wen Furong's mother and daughter were invited to the same table with the old lady, which surprised them.

"This"

There were the village head's wife and Chang Xiuzhu at the table, two noble ladies from the town, and then their mother and daughter. The old lady sat at the main seat, and Cao Jingxiu went to the men's table obediently to eat.

As soon as Wen Furong's butt touched the edge of the embroidered stool, she wanted to stand up.

The eldest lady and the old nanny stood beside the old lady, and the eldest lady pushed Wen Furong back to its original position with a little force in both hands.

There is a formal banquet table for eight people. The host and guests sat in a circle, and there is one vacant seat left, no need to ask, it is reserved for the eldest lady. The second lady is already sitting at another table to accompany relatives.

The eldest lady looked at Chang Xi with a pleasant smile: "Miss Xi, fill your mother's wine glass, and I will toast with your mother later."

These words meant to keep people, Wen Furong did not stand up again.

Chang Xi smiled brightly, stood up and filled the wine glasses for the eldest lady and her mother, and got the eldest lady's satisfied smile again.

Chang Xiuzhu was sitting at the same table, feeling sour when she saw this.

Why is Chang Xi doing such an insignificant thing that someone praises it so much?Isn't it just a glass of wine?Who wouldn't!

Chang Xiuzhu didn't want Chang Xi to monopolize the limelight, so when no one benefited, she stood up suddenly and held the jug to pour wine for the rest of the people.

At the end, she smiled flatteringly at everyone.

The guests from the town, of course, also know Chang Xiuzhu, the daughter of Chang Ji Dumpling Shop, who usually looks up and down, everyone is a little surprised by her behavior.

I only heard someone say: "It's not easy for Miss Chang to have a glass of wine. I've never seen you help out at the dumpling shop. I didn't expect Miss Chang to do things by herself. It's surprising."

The other lady smiled softly.

"That's right, I thought that Miss Chang would be pampered at home, and her ten fingers would not touch the spring water, but seeing her today is really eye-catching."

Chang Xiuzhu didn't like to hear these things, she always felt that they were laughing at her.

Then raised his voice to answer: "I should be able to know everything, but I am busy with my studies, I have to read and practice handwriting, and work as a female worker, so I don't have time to help in the store."

"That's it, we misunderstood." Everyone laughed and drank a cup.

After recovering from illness, Mrs. Cao looked at everyone chatting brightly.

The dishes at the banquet were served like water, and she called everyone to move their chopsticks. She motioned for her daughter-in-law to sit down, and the eldest lady took her seat.

Wen Furong accompanied her for a drink. When Chang Xi was eating, she found that there were indeed a lot of delicious cold dishes, with complicated patterns, colorful collocations, heavy and light tastes, and appetizing.

She thought that it must be Cao Jingxiu who was bothering. She didn't expect him to really pay attention to these small things. She thought Cao Jingxiu was a scholar who only read sage books.

There was a change in him today, and Chang Xi ate happily.

Mrs. Cao was served by her own nanny, Chang Xiuzhu kept showing her attention at the banquet, and the old lady did not refuse, which made Chang Xiuzhu's performance more and more conspicuous.

Chang Xi quietly ate her own dishes beside her, and motioned to her mother for help if she could not pick up the dishes with her short arms.

Unknowingly, Chang Xiuzhu didn't eat a few mouthfuls, she kept on guarding Mrs. Cao, asking for warmth, but forgot that her serious grandma, who was a serious person who should be cared for, was still sitting at the table and was not treated equally.

The wife of the village head had a very good feast.

The last time she was told by her granddaughter to slobber everywhere, she poured bitter water in front of the handkerchief.

There are many children and grandchildren in the handkerchief handover. She means that if the children and grandchildren are disobedient, they will be honest if they are beaten once, and they will be beaten twice if they are dishonest. This is how her family mediates clearly.

The village head's wife felt a little sour. Her family's situation was different. She didn't keep her granddaughter by her side, so she rarely saw each other. If she really wanted to beat her up, she might never want to come back to town.

Judging by her attitude towards others today, isn't she talking too?
Isn't she afraid of talking by herself and spraying her saliva in the food?

The village head's wife looked at Chang Xiuzhu with complicated emotions, and it took a lot of effort to resist not questioning her in public.

The women are not good at drinking, and their appetites are small, so they finally waited until the banquet was withdrawn. The servants were about to start offering tea when the village head's wife spoke.

"Xiuzhu, go get the wild chrysanthemums sent by our family and give you a taste!"

When she heard this sentence, Chang Xiuzhu lowered her eyelids, flashed the coldness of success, and answered briskly: "The wild chrysanthemum prepared by my grandma is very fragrant, everyone must try it."

The noble ladies from the town, who rarely have the opportunity to eat these mountain products, nodded with anticipation. Mrs. Cao did not refute the face of the village chief's wife.

Chang Xiuzhu went to prepare scented tea, and Cao's servants also brought up the juice that Cao Jingxiu had arranged in advance.

A cold drink and a hot drink were served in front of everyone, the lady meant to let everyone choose for themselves.
