Chapter 114 Kitchen

Mrs. Liu raised her eyes and glanced at the car door. The woman beside her immediately lifted the curtain of the carriage so that she could see outside more clearly.

At this moment, a little maid from Shouningtang stood beside the shaft of the carriage, and a broken kite was at her feet.

"What happened?"

"I know where a kite flew from."

The little maid answered respectfully, leaned over and picked up the kite that landed at her feet. She found that the kite was very exquisitely made and was about to hand it to Mrs. Liu when she suddenly heard a female voice as crisp as a wind chime:

"It turned out to be here."

The little maid turned back in surprise, and the old lady Liu also looked in the sound and saw a young girl running out of the grass forest not far away.

The girl tied a single snail bun, and only had a few yellow forsythia flowers on her hair. Her bright eyes and white teeth were bright and clear when she looked at people, her clear eyes looked particularly pure:

"Sorry for disturbing me, this is my kite. The line suddenly broke. I didn't expect it to float here along the wind."

The girl's tone was sincere and smiling. The little maid couldn't help but feel a little fond of her. She was about to return the kite in her hand, but she found that the kite's tassel tail was tightly grabbed.

She looked back in shock and found that the person who grabbed the kite was not someone else, but Mrs. Liu who had already sat at the entrance of the carriage at some point.

Mrs. Liu's eyes were wide open at this time, and asked in a trembling voice in excitement and disbelief:

"Which house girl are you? What is your name?"

Seeing this, the little maid was even more surprised. Her old lady worshipped Buddha and was very distant. This was the first time she saw her with such emotions as she was today.

The old nanny who had been serving Mrs. Liu was secretly shocked.

Unlike the newly entered the mansion, she is considered an old man who serves in the Grand Secretary's Mansion. She knows the past events in the mansion very clearly.

No wonder the old lady was so out of control. The girl in front of her was so similar to the late second girl Liu Yanxue.

If it weren't for the girl's extra mole under the corner of her eyes, she would have mistakenly thought that the second girl had come back.

At the beginning, the second girl cut off her life so resolutely and hurt the old lady's heart.

The old lady regrets and hates the second girl for being unable to understand.

In the past two years, as the old lady grew older, the old lady remembered more clearly the past about the second girl.

Sometimes it is difficult to fall asleep in the middle of the night, so the old lady would call them to join the lamp together to cut the second girl's favorite look.

But after she was cut out with great enthusiasm, no one could see her off. Although the old lady didn't say anything, she knew that the old lady must be very uncomfortable.

Now there is a person who looks so similar to the second girl, standing in front of the old lady alive. How could the old lady still be calm?

Thinking of this, the old lady also asked with the old lady: "Why can you ask which lady is it?"

The girl opposite looked sad when she heard this, "My name is Feng Qi, and now she is a homeless person."

Feng Qi was really sad when he said this.

It was just because she suddenly realized that the world was so big that there was no place that belonged to her. She was like a redundant person and could not find the place where she should exist.

Worried that someone would recognize her and cause trouble for Sister Shen, she even hid in Sister Shen's house with Chuntao for half a month and did not dare to go out.

If Sister Chen had not given her such exquisite and clever kites today, she would have never come out.

Homeless people...

The old lady chewed this sentence repeatedly in her heart, feeling inexplicably desolate and sad.

The old woman lowered her eyes and rippled in her heart. It was God's will that there was such a coincidence in this world!

Mrs. Liu sighed, loosened the tassel tail of the kite in her hand, signaled the little maid to return the kite to Feng Qi, and whispered:

"I'm idle and have nothing to do. I wonder if I can just watch the girl float kites from here?"

Feng Qi nodded, took the kite in his hand and tied the broken thread again, stretched the thread, and then ran against the wind.

Feng Qifei also ran forward like a slightest, and the kite flew steadily into the sky.

Mrs. Liu watched Feng Qi run with the wind, like a fresh and beautiful forsythia flower, so vivid and beautiful, and tears gradually floated out of her eyes.

If Xue'er was still alive, her child would probably be as old as the girl in front of her.

Although midsummer is approaching, flowers are blooming in a row, and the flower viewing banquets in the capital are rushing to be held again.

The names of flower viewing banquets are varied. Whether it is plum blossoms, peony, lotus, gladiolus, or even snapdragons, they can be used to hold flower viewing banquets and invite noble ladies from all over the capital to the mansion.

Moreover, the flower viewing banquet hosted by famous families in the capital is not only as simple as literal flower viewing.

It is just because you can not only enjoy the flowers, but also appreciate people at the flower-watching banquet. Those young men and girls from all walks of life are the real scenery.

Many young talents and noble girls in the capital have used this to get to know each other, and it has become a custom for those prospective mother-in-law to choose their daughter-in-law through flower-welcoming banquets.

The flowers and banquet invitations received by each family today came from the Grand Secretary’s Office of the Palace.

Liu Yong, a great minister of the palace, was appointed as the first rank of official position and served the emperor every day. He was the prime minister who was below one person and above ten thousand people.

His mansion began to distribute flower-welfare feasts, which immediately caused storms in the capital.

The wives of each family are all lit up. Liu Yong has four sons. Except for the eldest son who has been married, the other three have not yet married or engaged. This is all jealous!

Moreover, the Grand Secretary’s Office has rarely had a banquet for many years. This flower-watching banquet was organized by Mrs. Liu, the old lady who is an important old lady in the mansion. Everyone secretly speculated that this flower-watching banquet was not simple and they all attached great importance to it.

When we were about to visit the Grand Secretary's House for a flower banquet, the garment shops, jewelry pavilions and powder shops in the capital were almost full. Many wives and ladies of the officials had not yet gone, but they had already begun to compete secretly.

The beauty salon in Qingfeng Building naturally made a big profit. Chen Furong was so happy that she couldn't stop talking about it all day long. She told everyone that this flower-watching banquet at the Grand Secretary's House was a century-old event, and it would be a loss if she didn't attend it. It's right.

Chen Furong went to visit the Grand Secretary's Office with her father several times. She had long been familiar with Lord Liu and Mrs. Liu, and was the only daughter of Zhou Xuezheng, the minister of Dali Temple. Naturally, she had received an invitation from the Grand Secretary's Office.

The Grand Secretary’s Office sent a wide invitation this time, and almost half of the powerful people from the capital visited the palace to enjoy the flowers, as if they wanted to announce something to everyone.

Chen Furong's old acquaintances Zhang Xiuxian, Wang Qingxia, Yu Chonglou, Wang Wen'an and others were also on the list of invitations for this flower viewing banquet.

Today, Chen Furong got on the carriage early and came to the Grand Secretary's Mansion. There were not many guests coming to the banquet at this moment.

Chen Furong was led by an old lady and went directly to Mrs. Liu's Shouning Hall.
