Chapter 15

"Sister, you are good at what you do."

As soon as she returned to Wutong Garden and sat down, Mu Wan Ning spoke with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

"As my cousin wishes." Ruan Mianmian took a sip of the fragrant jasmine green tea and felt a lot more relaxed. However, she hadn't eaten anything all day. It would be great if she could have some snacks before meals.

Thinking of the dim sum made by King Ying today, I thought about making dim sum and needed to put it on the agenda as soon as possible.

The presence of this old god fell into Mu Wan Ning's eyes, and she was even more convinced that Ruan Mianmian was a scheming woman. Such a person was a stumbling block on her road. Even if she married the King of England, she would still find a way to make the King of England dislike him. She, get rid of her as soon as possible.

"My cousin still has to work harder. If there is no substantial progress, has King Mian not broken off the engagement yet? When word spreads, this reputation will..."

"Our reputation is only half-matched. I heard that King Mian has been looking for my cousin recently. Everyone in Sioux City has said that you are thinking about your cousin's man. Doesn't your cousin know?"

"You?!" Mu Wan Ning was dumbfounded. She really didn't expect that she used to pretend to be a noble girl from a well-known family, and she was the most observant of rules and etiquette. How could she be so straightforward.

"Cousin, why are you here today? You might as well tell me." Ruan Mianmian was too lazy to do Tai Chi with her. She still had a lot of things to do.

Mu Wan Ning thought of the purpose of coming today and suppressed her displeasure, "On the eighth day of next month, Princess Qianqiu will hold a spring banquet at the palace, so she will invite the famous families in Jiangzhou to come. The post must have been sent to the old lady. I I came here to tell you that both King Rimian and King Ying will be there, so this is the best opportunity. You have to seize it. If there is anything you need help from my cousin, just send someone to tell me."

Spring feast? !She remembered that this spring banquet was extremely lively.

The noble ladies of Jiangzhou's aristocratic families all thought that Princess Qianqiu held this spring banquet to prepare for the emperor and the princes to choose their concubines. In fact, this spring banquet had another purpose!
Today's emperor was born in a rough place, and after he ascended the throne, he only had two relatives left by his side: his mother and his younger brother.

Xiao Ling was a submissive person with no talents. The emperor only wanted him to be safe and healthy for the rest of his life, so he made him the hereditary King of Qianqiu. Naturally, his princess was the Princess of Qianqiu who held the spring banquet this time.

The purpose of this spring banquet is to find the emperor's sister who lives among the people, the future eldest princess Xiao Chan.

"Then I have to plan carefully. Don't worry, cousin, I will find you if necessary."

After sending Mu Wan Ning away, Ruan Mianmian asked Qiu Shui to give the 300 taels of silver earned today to the Qin family.

I sat down at the table and drew for a long time.

When Xuewei brought the food, she put away her pen.

"Who sent my cousin out?"

"It's Sister Nuanchun."

Xuewei put away the pen and paper on the table and went to serve Ruan Mianmian with the dishes.

"She's used to being a good person." Ruan Mianmian's words were plain, and she couldn't tell her likes and dislikes.

Xuewei Bucai's hand paused, and after a while she said naturally, "Sister Nuanchun has always been the most popular with you, so she naturally worries more when Aunt Zhong is not here.

But today when I was serving tea to my cousin, Zi Teng specially changed the small tea balls for my cousin's favorite tea. That's how good a person is. "

Ruan Mianmian nodded while eating, not sure if he was satisfied with the food or if he approved of Xuewei's words.

Xuewei is also very meticulous. She holds back her words and concentrates on serving Ruan Mianmian without saying another word.

After finishing the meal, Ruan Mianmian handed the paper on the table to Xuewei, "Let Nuan Chun try to make it this afternoon."

Xuewei saw the word "egg tart" written on the upper left corner of the paper. On the page, there were not only the ingredients and amounts, but also the techniques and a large cage.

There were no ovens in ancient times, so Ruan Mianmian made a homemade one. If he could make it better, but if he couldn't, just use a steamer to try a few more times. If it failed, it wouldn't matter.

"By the way, tell her that if she can't do it, she doesn't have to go back to Wutong Garden. She can just go back to Aunt Zhong and ask her to be kicked out."

Xuewei's hand holding the paper trembled. This high-ranking family's subordinates were very particular about their eyesight. A young lady like this would end up with a reputation of being mean and unkind, which would be extremely detrimental to her marriage.

She wanted to persuade her, but Ruan Mianmian said, "If you want to try it, just come with her."

When Xuewei heard this, she quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Slave...Slave..."

"What are you doing? I didn't say anything. By the way, has Sixth Brother come back recently?" "Back to Miss Third, Young Master Sixth has been living in the academy and has not returned home. However, it will be time to take a leave of absence, so you can I’ve been back here for a month.”

"I remember that my sixth brother is the greediest. If I can make these egg tarts, I will give him some when he comes back."

"Yes, I'll save you, servant girl."

Ruan Mianmian looked at Xuewei's back and smiled coldly.

The 'lover' who came to blackmail him had said that the sixth young master could vouch for him, which meant that Mu Wan Ning and the sixth young master Ruan Leshan had been in the same boat for a long time.

Not only did Xuewei know the whereabouts of the Sixth Young Master, she also secretly stirred up dissension.

The person the Mu family was looking for was really bad, and he couldn't hide it so quickly.

Ruan Mianmian ate and drank enough, sent everyone out, and practiced Tai Chi in the house for a while. Just as she was about to take a nap, she heard the bird outside shouting urgently, "The third lady is not good, the master will hug the little lady." gone."

That arrives so fast?

Ruan Mianmian didn't care about changing her clothes. She didn't go to Qinghe Residence when she left the house, but went straight to the outer courtyard.

In the flower hall of the outer courtyard, Zhao Xuheng looked at the troubled baby in his arms. He was so irritated that he threw it to the boy behind him.

The boy didn't expect that he would have to take on the job of holding the baby. He didn't react and almost dropped the baby to the ground.

Ruan Qian was furious, "Even though I'm anxious, I should bring a mother-in-law here to pick her up. Why are we just a group of servants? I'd better ask the nuns in the house to come with us."

"No need. Grandma is seriously ill and misses her great-granddaughter anxiously. My son-in-law is also anxious, so I won't keep her."

Ruan Qian nodded. Although his son-in-law had no personal ethics, he was quite filial, which was quite similar to him.

Zhao Xuheng stood up to say goodbye, but when he turned around, he was blocked by a pretty figure at the door.

"Why don't you go see your eldest sister when your eldest brother-in-law is here?"

"My grandmother was seriously ill and wanted to see her great-granddaughter, but something urgent happened and she couldn't attend."

"Emergency? Why is she dying?"

"You!"/"Discourteous!"

Zhao Xuheng and Ruan Qian were both shocked. What Ruan Mianmian said was too much.

"Since you are just sick and not dying, why are you so anxious that you can't even drink a sip of water and don't even look at your wife?"

Ruan Mianmian walked into the flower hall and forced Zhao Xuheng back.

"Be presumptuous, this is how my father-in-law taught his daughter how to insult her elders." Zhao Xuheng was furious and reached out to touch Ruan Mianmian, almost poking her in the face.

Ruan Mianmian didn't pay attention to him at all. Hearing the heartbreaking cry of the baby, she felt heartbroken.

"Que'er, this little guy isn't very good at holding a child. Please teach him."

Que'er walked towards the boy knowingly.

The boy knew the purpose of coming here, so he kept trying to grab it, but after all, he was holding a child in his arms and was not as flexible as a bird.

Que'er didn't understand what her young lady meant, so she pinched the boy's numb tendons.

But before her hand touched the boy's arm, the boy actually let go.

The baby fell directly to the ground!
