Salted Fish Lady Loves to Eat Melons

Chapter 139 Sister-in-law is partial
Wen Qingwan looked at the people who got off the carriage behind her and cleared her throat, "Brothers, sisters, are you interested in going to the East Palace with sister-in-law to attend the flower viewing banquet?"

Her voice was clear and pleasant, and there was a smile in the corners of her eyes and brows, which made the brothers and sisters of the Xiao family look forward to the flower-viewing banquet.

The kids, who were a few years old, had no idea that the banquet was dangerous, and their eyes were all shining with excitement, as if they were expecting their sister-in-law to take them there.

The flowers and plants in the yard also seemed to become brighter and more lively because of her clear and pleasant voice.

The setting sun shines on the swaying leaves, and the evening breeze gently blows the petals to the ground in a light dance.

Xiao Lichuan's mood also jumped. He thought about promoting the new Yunjin at the flower-viewing banquet. That would be a wonderful moment to show the new Yunjin.

"Sister-in-law, can we really go with you?" Xiao Jinting asked timidly.

"Of course you can. All young men and women over the age of twelve can go. Those who don't want to go will not be forced. Those who want to go can go to the butler to register and then prepare clothes for the banquet."

Wen Qingwan's voice echoed in the garden, and her eyes were gentle but full of joy.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Lichuan immediately stood up, his eyes flashing with curiosity and expectation, "Sister-in-law, I want to go."

He will be eighteen next month, but has never attended a flower-viewing party. However, he just wants to promote his newly researched brocade.

"Sister-in-law, I want to go too." Xiao Litao said without hesitation. He was not going for himself, but to protect his sister-in-law.

In his early years, he often participated in the flower-viewing banquets held at the Yin Mansion, and his grandfather occasionally took him to poetry gatherings, but later he himself did not want to go.

"Sister-in-law, I want to go too." Sisters Xiao Yi, Xiao Jinting and Xiao Jinyu happily went to the housekeeper to register.

However, Xiao Jinying shrank back and hid behind her aunt. She didn't want to go at all. She almost died after attending the palace banquet last time.

But she also didn't want to tell her brothers and sisters how terrible the banquet was. She was still hoping in her heart that each of them would be beaten with a stick.

Unfortunately, her aunt wanted her daughter to stand out so much that she took her daughter's hand and walked towards the housekeeper, "And Miss Ying'er, she has signed up too."

"Aunt, I've been feeling unwell these days and don't want to go." Xiao Jinying didn't dare to shake off her aunt's hand in front of everyone.

"For those who are over twelve years old and don't want to go, no one will be forced. Let them have fun at the flower-viewing banquet." Wen Qingwan said with a smile.

It's normal for a little girl to have a little temper. Xiao Jinying felt very embarrassed after being beaten with a stick last time, so she didn't want to go.

Wen Qingwan didn't think there was anything wrong with being concerned about reputation. People's personalities could change in a thousand ways, and as long as their major principles were intact, that was enough.

"Sister-in-law, Sixteenth Sister doesn't want to go, so I'll go." Because Xiao Liqiu was short, his brothers and sisters blocked his view of Wen Qingwan, so he jumped up and shouted.

"Qiu'er is under twelve years old, so he can't go." Aunt Liu said gloatingly.

"Sister-in-law, why can't we go?" Xiao Lichun asked with a pout.

"There are a lot of people at the party, and you're still young and it's easy for you to bump into others. Wait until you're older and your sister-in-law will take you there."

"Sister-in-law is biased. Why does anyone over the age of twelve be allowed to go? Sister Seventeen is not much taller than me. Besides, I have never seen what a flower-viewing banquet looks like. I really want to go and take a look." Xiao Liqiu said aggrievedly.

"Because twelve years old is called the age of 12, it can be said that they are ready to get married, so my sister-in-law thought of taking them to the flower viewing banquet to see if there are any suitable candidates."

"Oh, I'm only seven years old this year. Doesn't that mean it will take many years before I can see what a flower-viewing banquet looks like?" Xiao Ershijiu looked up at her sister-in-law eagerly.

"Sister-in-law, then we can also think about it in advance to see if we can meet a childhood sweetheart to grow up with us." "Oh no, my concubine Xia is thinking about love?" Xiao Lixia's aunt shouted in surprise, regardless of her image.

"Ah! You guys want to get married at such a young age? I really can't help you!

My sister-in-law originally wanted to hold a flower-viewing banquet in the mansion in August, inviting many people to attend, so that you can see the flower-viewing banquet. "

Wen Qingwan's tone was deliberately full of regret, and she shook her head with regret, as if she was planning to give up on holding the flower-viewing banquet.

"Aunt, how could you misunderstand your son like this?" Xiao Lixia's face turned red with anger. He just wanted to go to see the flower viewing banquet.

"Sister-in-law, I don't want to get married at all. I just want to see what the flower viewing banquet looks like, hehe..."

"Sister-in-law, please hold a flower-viewing banquet. I don't want to grow up so quickly." Xiao Sanshisan said with a smile.

"Mr. Thirty-three, you often secretly told your aunt that you wanted to grow up quickly and earn a lot of money for your aunt to spend. Have you forgotten?" his aunt asked with a strange expression.

"..."

Sanshisan looked at his aunt with innocent big eyes and said, "You know that was told to you in secret. How can you tell anyone a secret?"

Wen Qingwan saw several pairs of mothers and sons accusing each other with their eyes. In a crowded place, it is more appropriate for two people who have a close relationship to communicate with each other through eye contact.

This scene made her unable to watch it directly, but it also made her feel very warm. From childhood to adulthood, she had only had many eye contact battles with Xiao Jin.

Since she was a child in the Wen family, no one was willing to listen to her words patiently, let alone make eye contact!

People have a mouth, mainly to fill their stomachs, and secondly to express what they think.

When you are talking to someone and the other person seems nonchalant and obviously doesn’t want to listen, would you still want to continue talking?

Every time she spoke, Minister Wen and his sons would pretend to be dead, but Madam Wen would just say a few perfunctory words to her.

She is not a fool. Her family has treated her like this many times, and she knows that they are telling her implicitly, "I look down on you."

When she treated Wen Mingzhu the same way they did, they would be accused of being unloving to her sister and being an ungrateful ingrate.

The knowledge she had learned said that double standards are human nature. People are harsh on others and lenient on themselves.

But as long as you don't harm the interests of others, it doesn't matter what standards you have for yourself and others.

But the double standards of the Wen family almost told her clearly that we can look down on you, but you cannot ignore Wen Mingzhu.

When Wen Qingwan thinks of the past, she feels no wavering in her heart. Now, not only do she have people who make eye contact with her, but there are also people who listen to her seriously.

"Those who want to go to the flower viewing banquet can register with the housekeeper, and then go back to the courtyard to rest. I will go back to rest first."

After Wen Qingwan finished speaking, she took Jinlan and Jinque to her own yard. Even after they walked a long way away, she could still hear them expressing their concern.

"Madam, take care. You have worked hard today. Go to bed early." The aunts said enthusiastically.

"Sister-in-law, take care. You've worked hard today. Go to bed early."

"Sister-in-law, please go to bed early. We will eat spicy crayfish tomorrow." The brothers and sisters-in-law said in unison.
