The banquet was set in the main courtyard. Daohua lagged behind for a while. When she came over, everyone had already sat down. Just when she was looking around where to sit, Zhou Jingwan, who was next to the chairman, stood up and waved to her: "Yi Yi,

This way!"

Daohua walked over with a smile, sat down next to Zhou Jingwan and Dong Yuanyao, and then nodded to Su Shiyu next to Zhou Jingwan and other ladies in other positions as a greeting.

Su Shiyu smiled and asked: "Why did you come here?"

Daohua looked towards the entrance of the courtyard and happened to see Chen Jiarou helping Old Mrs. Chen over. She turned her head and said with a smile: "I tripped over someone on the road for a while."

Dong Yuanyao, Zhou Jingwan, and Su Shiyu followed Daohua's line of sight and looked over there.

Zhou Jingwan whispered: "I just don't understand. With Mrs. Chen's conduct, how did the Chen family gain a foothold in the capital?"

Dong Yuanyao smiled and said: "I heard my grandmother say this. The Chen family's social circle in the capital is not as wide as we imagined. In the capital, the Chen family is hosted by Mrs. Chen. After all, Mrs. Chen is the emperor's

Nanny, everyone is willing to give her two cents, so the Chen family is still in peace."

Daohua said lightly: "Old Mrs. Chen is not that good either. She likes to lecture others when she opens her mouth."

Zhou Jingwan curled her lips: "I'm afraid I've been praised too much, and some don't know who I am." The nanny, to put it bluntly, is just a slave.

Su Shiyu chuckled: "In the capital, there are many powerful people, so the Chen family may still know how to restrain themselves, but in this open place, with the emperor as their back, they may become arrogant."

Daohua smiled and looked at Su Shiyu: "Sister Su, this is a good explanation."

Dong Yuanyao: "Okay, don't talk about these unhappy things. The dishes are all here. Let's eat quickly." Knowing that Daohua's right hand was not convenient, he personally served her a bowl of dumpling soup.

When Zhou Jingwan saw Daohua eating with her left hand, she immediately asked: "What's wrong with you?"

Su Shiyu also looked over.

Daohua whispered: "My right hand was scratched."

Zhou Jingwan and Su Shiyu's expressions moved slightly. It wasn't just a scratch, right? Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to hold chopsticks. It seems that the last accident caused Sister Yan (Daohua) to suffer a lot outside.

.

Also, Aunt Li has always been kind, but today as the host she stabbed the Chen family in front of so many people, I'm afraid it was because she was angry and angry.

After lunch, Daohua and others went to the pavilion to rest.

Su Shiyu: "By the way, it was hard to ask at the dinner table just now. When did you come back yesterday? We didn't even know?"

Dong Yuanyao: "It was already dark when we came back. I thought you had already rested, so I didn't bother you."

Zhou Jingwan interjected: "Then why didn't you come to us this morning and had to wait until noon to show up?"

Dong Yuanyao glanced at Daohua, who smiled and said: "Isn't this to make our appearance more shocking and eye-catching?"

"Huh?"

Zhou Jingwan looked confused, but Su Shiyu understood it after a little thought. She looked at Daohua and Dong Yuanyao with a smile: "You two~, you are so cunning."

It's not easy to explain things like rumors by yourself, but if someone else mentions it, then it's a good idea to hit back hard in public.

Yiyi chose the right time today. He not only exposed Mrs. Xu's ugly face of spreading rumors, but also made Mrs. Xu speechless in public, intimidating other people who love to gossip.

Daohua smiled bitterly and said: "We don't want this either. Who allows so many good people in this world?"

Dong Yuanyao frowned: "By the way, what happened to Mrs. Xu? Isn't Xu Tongzhi a subordinate of Uncle Yan?"

Daohua sighed: "Because of the migration of refugees to Sha County, my father strictly controlled a series of matters such as settlement in Sha County and land sales. This violated the interests of some local families, and Mrs. Xu's natal family was one of them. No,

Mrs. Xu jumped out and started looking for trouble."

Zhou Jingwan snorted coldly: "It's really stupid to openly confront your boss without being reasonable."

Su Shiyu smiled and said: "If Mr. Xu knows about this, then his vision and outlook are probably not very good. If he doesn't know, Mrs. Xu will probably not have a good life after returning today."

Zhou Jingwan suddenly laughed out loud: "Then Mrs. Xu is also a strong person, and Daohua made her unable to resist with just a few words, just like a clown."

Daohua suddenly looked sideways: "How could I force Mrs. Xu? It was obviously me who convinced her with reason."

At this time, Su Shiyu and Dong Yuanyao also laughed.

Zhou Jingwan laughed out loud: "Yes, yes, you are the most reasonable."

At this time, Yan Yihuan came over with Li Zixuan, Li Zixin, Yang Xiujun and other girls.

"Cousin Zi Xuan, cousin Zi Xin!" Dao Hua immediately greeted her with a smile.

Afterwards, the girls sat in the pavilion drinking tea and chatting.

In the middle of the afternoon, Daohua stood up, took the ladies to the old lady's yard, and pushed out the Eight Immortals birthday cake she had made early in the morning.

"This is the dessert I made, ladies and girls, please try it."

The cake was cut into small pieces and sent to the ladies and girls of each house. The cake was made into three layers, and some were also divided into the front yard.

Yan Siyu looked at the cake with longevity peaches carved in her hand, took a look at the rice flowers that were smiling among the ladies, and said to the old lady Yan with a smile: "Yi Yi, this girl's hands are really clever."

Mrs. Yan nodded with a smile: "Although that girl has a bit of a lively temper, she is a popular cooking girl who can do everything. Otherwise, your sister-in-law and I wouldn't be able to indulge her like that."

Seeing her mother's unabashed doting, Yan Siyu looked at her daughter aside. Although her mother also loved Xiuyun, she still had to stay back in front of Yiyi, her granddaughter.

......

When sharing the cake, Daohua saw that Mrs. Li was not there and knew that she was busy in the main courtyard, so she brought a piece of cake to her. It was not until Mrs. Li ate the cake and went to work again that she returned to Songheyuan.

Unexpectedly, I met my cousin Yang Hongrui on the way.

"Cousin Yiyi."

Seeing Yang Hongrui, Daohua was a little surprised. She felt blessed and asked with a smile: "Cousin Hongrui, why are you in the backyard at this time?"

Yang Hongrui looked a little uncomfortable: "I came to see my mother for something."

Daohua said "Oh": "Do you need me to call aunt for you? There are many female relatives at my grandmother's house, so it may not be convenient for you to go there."

Yang Hongrui shook his head repeatedly: "No need, it's actually not a big deal. There's no rush."

Daohua: "...If that's the case, then I'll go to my grandmother's place first." After saying that, she turned around and left.

Yang Hongrui quickly stopped the person: "Wait a moment."

Daohua turned around: "Cousin Hongrui, is there anything else?"

Yang Hongrui hesitated for a moment: "Um... are you okay?" Although his uncle and aunt said that cousin Yiyi went to Zhuangzi, he knew it was not the case because he happened to be standing next to cousin Wenxiu that day and heard

The servant’s reply.

Daohua raised her eyebrows: "I'm fine. What can happen to me?"

Yang Hongrui looked at Daohua and saw that she was in good spirits, so he smiled and said, "It's good that you're fine." After saying that, seeing that Daohua's hands were empty, he handed over the stove in her hand.

Daohua took a few steps back: "Cousin Hongrui, what are you doing?"

Yang Hongrui said hurriedly: "Don't get me wrong, cousin, I think you don't bring a hand stove even in the winter, so I want to give this to you."

Daohua twitched her lips: "Thank you cousin, but I don't need it. I'd better keep it for myself. If my cousin doesn't need it, give it to cousin Xiujun. The hand stove...I

There are many rooms and they are enough. It’s time for grandma to find me. I have to go. I’m sorry.”

After saying that, without waiting for Yang Hongrui's reaction, he left quickly.

Looking at Daohua's hurried away figure, Yang Hongrui felt a little disappointed and silently turned around and walked towards the front yard.

On the other side, Wang Man'er thought of Yang Hongrui's behavior just now, looked at Daohua's expression, and murmured: "Isn't the young master waiting for you there specifically?"

Daohua frowned: "Don't talk nonsense." After a moment of silence, he added, "Don't tell anyone what happened just now. Just pretend it never happened. Also, remember to remind me to avoid places where Cousin Hongrui is in the future.

Some."

She doesn't want to attract some messy bad guys.

Wang Maner smiled and nodded.
