When Xu Qian heard this, her hands and feet froze in shock, and she couldn't say a word in retort. When she raised her eyes, she saw Xu Nuo's face was indifferent.
There was a bang in my head.
Blank.
You can't fall down, otherwise it will become a joke.
If she was laughed at, she would rather die.
But she couldn't control her body and leaned downward.
Just when she thought she was about to fall to the ground, a pair of strong hands held her up.
Xu Qian opened her eyes and saw a familiar face.
"mother."
Lu nodded, supported Xu Qian, and said, "I had a hard time sleeping last night, and today I'm talking nonsense, and I'm wandering all the way. Even at this age, I'm still like a child."
Lu's tone was reproachful but also a little doting, while Xu Qian tugged on Lu's sleeves in a cute and coquettish way.
Xu Qian was brought back to her seat by Mrs. Lu. After the two sat down, Mrs. Lu smiled and talked to the people next to her, obviously wanting to let the matter rest.
The other ladies were all human beings. Seeing this, they stopped talking about it and talked about other things, as if what happened just now didn't happen.
Only Madam Hu had a black and blue face, and her hands were trembling.
Today, not only did the task arranged by County Master Jiaren not be completed, Xu Qian almost ruined her reputation!
Xu Qian turned out to be such a cruel little lady, she didn't notice it earlier.
Xu Qian will suffer a lot for her behavior.
Ever since Xu Qian was helped back by Mrs. Lu, she promised one cup of tea after another without stopping, as if she was angry.
Hu Ling held her hand and whispered: "Xu Liu Niang, what's wrong with you? Things are exactly as you expected. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
Hu Ling deeply felt that her IQ had been severely suppressed.
Well before lunch. Xu Nuo dropped the handkerchief from Mrs. Wu's sleeve and told her what would happen after lunch.
What happened just now was exactly the same as what Xu Nuo had said before. Even Mrs. Lu had guessed it when she came to help Xu Qian in order not to cause unnecessary trouble at the banquet.
It was precisely because of this that Hu Ling didn't understand why Xu Nuo was unhappy.
When Xu Nuo heard this, the hand holding the tea cup stopped in the air, and his hand suddenly loosened before he was about to crush the tea cup.
The tea cup tilted and fell...
Hu Ling has quick hands and quick eyes. He quickly caught the tea cup. She complained: "Liu Niang, what's wrong with you? Shouldn't you be happy?" If she could analyze the matter so clearly. She was already happy and happy.
After they discovered something was wrong with Madam Hu earlier, they took the opportunity without saying a word and kidnapped a maid who came with Madam Hu.
Xu Nuo tortured the maid using psychological principles, and then revealed that Madam Hu wanted to use the handkerchief to ruin her reputation.
Coincidentally, Xu Nuo was worried about the female workers before. I went specifically to watch the embroiderers embroidery, and also asked Xiao Yuan, who was born with dexterity, for advice.
Xiao Yuan sneered at that time. He took the embroidery booth and started working directly, impatiently asking Xu Nuo to learn a little bit, and while laughing at Xu Nuo's clumsiness, he embroidered an extremely delicate pattern.
Xu Nuo had previously learned from Hu Ling that Xiao Yuan learned things very quickly, but he didn't expect that he could be so good. Or rather perverted.
Just watching the embroiderer embroider once, you can embroider something better than the embroiderer.
And he's a man!
What is it if it's not a pervert?
After many attempts, she still never learned how to embroider. However, Xiao Yuan got a lot of handkerchiefs, and each one was of high quality. Even Chuntang, who is good at female work, would praise her repeatedly when she saw it.
Xiao Yuan embroidered the handkerchiefs and naturally didn't use them, so he threw them all to Xu Nuo. Xu Nuo kept them for his own use. He also gave one to Chun Tang and Qi Qi. The two of them were even happier than receiving the gold hairpin that Xu Nuo rewarded.
It was this handkerchief that she carried with her that helped her today.
"I'm not happy." Xu Nuo said gloomily, picking the dishes on the plate with the chopsticks in his hand.
She has always been rational, but now she is like this, her emotions are completely displayed on her face, no longer the promise she made before she traveled through time to deal with everything rationally.
On the other side of the screen, Zhu Shang sat to the left of Mr. Hu, and next to him was Xiao Yuan.
Everyone was surprised that Zhu Shang would be invited to attend the Hu family's banquet, and they were also surprised that the Hu family would invite Xiao Yuan.
It should be known that Sanniang of the Hu family and Xiao Yuan's baby brother only broke up last year. Everyone in the capital speculated that the two families had fallen out.
Now that Xiao Yuan appeared at the Hu family's banquet, those rumors were shattered.
Xiao Yuan quickly swept away the food on his dining table. He ate half of the duck clean, and the duck bones were arranged in the original order without any mistakes.
After he wiped his mouth, he sat upright and talked to Mr. Hu. They were an old man and a young man, and they had a very happy conversation.
As he spoke, he listened to the movements on the other side of the screen and raised his eyebrows from time to time.
"Old Master, I have received a lot of birthday gifts this year. Let me pick two." He knew that Xu Qian had come to the capital, and he also knew that she was instigated to compete in the tea ceremony. He originally thought that she would be peaceful for two days and did not want to run out again. Jump, I don’t know what’s going on now. If it weren’t for the fact that she was also the wife of the Xu family, he might have wiped her neck long ago.
Mr. Hu stroked his beard and said, "You kid, you don't miss my birthday gift every year. It's still the old rule. Sanniang chooses first."
Mr. Hu dotes on Hu Ling, his granddaughter who has a similar personality to her, and his annual birthday gift requires some weapons. These are the things Hu Ling is most interested in, so he lets Hu Ling choose and use them every year.
As for Xiao Yuan, he likes to collect antiques.
"Old Master, I don't want anything else but the gift from Zhu Beijiang." Xiao Yuan raised the corner of his mouth when he heard that Xu Nuo had nothing to do, and looked at Zhu Shang meaningfully.
Zhu Shang squinted his eyes and smiled without saying a word. He opened and closed the folding fan in his hand and placed it on the table.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Hu quickly said no and lowered his voice to Xiao Yuan: "Silang, how can you call Mr. Beijiang by his first name? After all, he is your uncle."
"Old Master, you also know that although my uncle who doesn't want to admit his disciple is the best at making money, he is also the most stingy. I finally saw him bring something out. I don't see what happens. Maybe he took it. This is a fake thing to deceive you. You can bring it out someday and I will help you identify it."
Because Xiao Yuan likes to collect antiquities, he spent some time researching them, and it was not difficult for him to identify the antiquities.
He smiled jokingly, and although he was a junior, he did not have any timidity or anxiety when talking to Mr. Hu.
"You kid!" Mr. Hu was amused by Xiao Yuan, and he was also surprised that Xiao Yuan guessed that what Zhu Shang gave was an antique.
Zhu Shang picked up the fan, holding the handle with one hand and the front with the other, and said to Xiao Yuan: "If you can guess the birthday gift I gave you, this fan will be given to you." His fan has a lot of background, Xiao Yuan I have been coveting it for a long time, and now using the folding fan as a bargaining chip, Xiao Yuan will definitely agree.
