Mrs. Xie tasted a few dishes herself, but all of them were extremely salty.
If a dish is said to be a little salty, it can be said to be a mistake by the cook, but most of them add too much salt, which is obviously intentional.
She was very angry and didn't know how to explain it.
Yuanshi had never experienced such a scene before, and all she knew was a sly smile.
Xie Ping lowered her head, trying to reduce her presence as much as possible.
"On behalf of the Xie family, I apologize to you all." Yun Chu stood up, with a sincere apology on his face, "Such a big mistake happened at the birthday banquet because of my improper stewardship. I will punish myself with three drinks here."
She just picked up the wine glass.
Qin Mingheng said: "Who in the whole capital doesn't know that Mrs. Xie is still ill, and this birthday banquet is not organized by Mrs. Xie. It is not your turn to punish yourself."
"I am the mistress of the Xie Mansion. Even if I am not in charge of it myself, it is because of my improper discipline and I should be punished." Yun Chu picked up the wine glass and raised his head to drink it all.
Qin Mingheng frowned and was about to get up.
He saw the wine glass in Yun Chu's hand being taken away by Xie Jingyu beside him, and he drank three glasses directly.
Qin Mingheng's eyes instantly darkened, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his lips: "Master Xie and Mrs. Xie are really a loving couple, which is very enviable."
For some reason, Yun Chu actually heard a slight hint of ridicule in these words.
She ignored the discomfort and said, "The Xie Mansion will arrange for people to go to the restaurant to prepare tables as quickly as possible. Please wait a moment. Now let's serve the longevity noodles. May everyone be blessed."
Mrs. Yun Lin nodded: "I will arrange for someone to help."
The Yun family was one of the best in the capital, and with Mrs. Yun's help, everyone knew that the banquet would be arranged quickly, and the atmosphere relaxed a lot.
The servant brought the longevity peaches, which were shaped like red peaches made of flour, with the Chinese character "longevity" written in big letters. The largest longevity peach was placed in front of the birthday star, the old lady Xie, and a large plate was placed on each of the other tables.
The old lady has experienced one after another, and her expression has become much depressed. This will force her to cheer up.
However, when Taozi opened her arms, she was so frightened that she stepped back repeatedly and fell off the chair, and Shou Nian was knocked over.
The people below looked up and suddenly became a mess.
"Oh my god, why are there all bugs in Shoudao!"
"Oh my God, it's normal for real peaches to have bugs. How come peaches made from flour have so many disgusting things?"
"This is an ominous sign!"
Yun Chu's eyes narrowed.
The little guy had a dream after falling asleep last night and talked in his sleep about bugs and the like. Could it be that the little guy did all these moths at today's birthday party?
No matter how courageous He Xu was, he would only dare to pass off the good stuff as good stuff, greedy for some money, dead fish, add salt, bugs... It must have been Chu Hongyu's doing.
Did that little guy know that she was unhappy at Xie's house, so he vented his anger on her?
Seeing the old lady paralyzed on the ground in fear, the Xie Mansion was in a panic, and her bad breath actually came out a lot.
"Everyone, don't panic." Xie Jingyu stood up and tried to stay calm, "Green worms lead to green pine trees, and green pine trees live a hundred years, which is a good sign. It's the Xie family's fault for scaring you all. The table hasn't been served yet, why don't you all drink tea first? , this tea is a tribute from the Western Regions to the palace, you will know after you taste it."
Except for the Yun family and Marquis Xuanwu, everyone who came to the banquet was all minor officials of fifth, sixth or seventh rank, and basically had never seen what the tributes were. After hearing what Xie Jingyu said, everyone had no choice but to say goodbye and wait at their seats. Drink tea.
This time, Xie Jingyu asked Xie Shian to look at the tea in person. There was no omission from beginning to end, so he dared to serve it in front of everyone.
The tributes in the palace were naturally of the highest quality. Everyone who had been frightened just now showed their faces and started chatting happily.
The old lady went down to freshen up, surrounded by the Xie family members.
"boom!"
A cup fell to the ground.
Xie Ping was so frightened that her knees weakened: "Old lady, it's all my fault. I didn't prepare the birthday banquet well. I made the Xie family look bad. Beat me to death!"
The old lady raised her foot to give Xie Ping a kick.
Yuanshi stopped her: "Things have already happened, and now there is no use blaming Sister Ping. Besides, Sister Ping is a big girl who has not yet left the government. She should not be allowed to handle such a big thing. Sister Ping Too young, Chu'er is sick, old lady, you are old, if you look into it, it is actually my fault. If I had the talent of housekeeping, how could I have made the Xie family become a joke in the capital..."
"Mother, now is not the time to blame yourself." Yun Chu said quietly, "Mother Zhou, bring a few people to take care of He Xu."
"Yes, tie He Xu up first." The old lady said bitterly, "He even dares to tamper with the master's birthday banquet. I think he is tired of living. When the birthday banquet is over and the guests have dispersed, I will chop him up. skin!"
Xie Ping trembled all over.
After the birthday banquet is over, the old lady will definitely punish her. She doesn't know what will be waiting for her.
Zhou’s mother immediately took people to get He Xu.
He Xu has been in great glory recently. First, Chen Defu gave him a few shops to take care of himself, and he had many more followers. Then he took care of most of the old lady's birthday party, and he didn't know how to make money from it. During the birthday party, he spent some money to buy some wine and pig head meat, and he and a few of his men ate, drank, and gambled at the back door.
He was playing enthusiastically when he was suddenly held down by someone from Zhou's mother.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?" He Xu struggled violently. After drinking, he became so strong that the two women couldn't hold him down.
Zhou's mother asked someone to hit He Xu with a stick, then gagged him, and the four women dragged him away together.
As soon as they reached the eaves of the corridor, they met Mr. He who came to look for He Xu.
He opened his lips in surprise: "Mother Zhou, what's going on? What did Manager He do?"
"If it's not something that Mother He should worry about, just don't ask a few questions." Mother Zhou said coldly, "Today is the old lady's birthday, and there are many distinguished guests in the house. It's better for Mother He not to wander around... Madam, I'm sorry. He, Mama, is grounded for one day, it is Madam's mercy, Mama, please don't ruin Madam's kindness."
After saying that, He Xu left with the struggling He Xu.
He was so anxious that she quickly asked a few people to inquire, and soon found out what happened in the front yard. Her heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
He Xu was taken away because of his own fault.
But why was her sister Ping's reputation ruined?
She suddenly understood that Madam claimed to be ill and left all the birthday banquet matters to a thirteen-year-old young lady. Wasn't this deliberately ruining Sister Ping's reputation?
An Geer was punished by his wife to kneel in the ancestral hall.
But my brother was raped by his wife.
Now Sister Ping's marriage has also been ruined by Madam.
Madam, what a profound plan!
When this banquet is over, Sister Ping's life will be over.
She couldn't just watch this happen.
Thinking of this, Mrs. He hurriedly ran to the front yard. She wanted to discuss the remedy with Xie Jingyu.
