The past life is cold and the present life is warm

Chapter 140 Gossip
The aunt said dumbfoundedly: "Okay, okay. Am I trying to eat these melon seeds for you? It will save trouble for our family by talking to you. After all, I just wanted to have a good time. This word came from me. I went out. I couldn’t resist taking the money, didn’t I?”

Tourmaline shook her head and said, "You can still tell me the truth after taking the money, and you can tell me to protect my lady. You are a good person. I'm leaving first, and I have to go back and tell my lady. You go ahead first."

The aunt stuffed the melon seeds into her pocket and waved to Tourmaline: "All right, you can go."

Tourmaline jumped up and down and ran to Danqing, said something to Danqing, and hurried to the mansion.

Danqing didn't go back to the house right away, but continued to sit there making small clothes.After a while, she saw the little girl come out again, as if she went to other people's house to inquire about things again.

When Bixi returned to Qingyao Residence, she happened to see Su Wanqiu coming back with a black object.Tourmaline moved forward curiously and found that it was a scorched tortoise shell.

Tourmaline was a little puzzled and asked, "Miss, why are you burning tortoise shells?"

Su Wanqiu smiled and said, "This is the tortoise shell that I consecrated with Master. I will use this for divination from now on. I will be a little witch from today on."

Suzhu came out to welcome him and said with a smile: "If Master Wuquan heard what you said, he would probably roll his eyes angrily again."

Su Wanqiu chuckled, then looked at Bixi and said, "I've come back so soon, it seems like I've gained something."

Bixi said happily: "I don't know if that girl is short-sighted or a novice. Inquiring about the affairs of our mansion, she actually went to Li's mansion next door to inquire about it. I went to ask after she left. She seemed to come here specially to inquire. It’s about your affairs, miss. But she’s talking about sending the post of autumn chrysanthemum banquet to various houses. By the way, she’s asking about the character and disposition of young ladies and young masters of various houses. But she asked about your affairs in more detail, miss. Ask them about Li’s house Things are very simple."

Su Wanqiu nodded after hearing this, she was puzzled, why did the servant girl of He Mansion ask about this little girl.She doesn't seem to have anything to do with their He family, does she?
Then she heard Bixi say: "But this girl is also very strange. She walked around the street and entered the back door of the alley on the Lin's side."

Su Wanqiu was taken aback when she heard the words, she suddenly remembered the Qiuju Banquet she attended in her previous life.

At that time, she took Suzhu and Danmei to the Qiuju Banquet with her grandmother.At that time, she was not familiar with these ladies and wives in these Beijing circles.When entering the manor of He Fu, he met Lin Yuele, the third lady of the Lin family.

At that time, when Ms. Lin saw her, she took the initiative to chat with her.After knowing her name, she happily said that she and herself are neighbors.It is the Lin Mansion next door to them.Her third child is Lin Yuele.

She said that she was a concubine, so she had never participated in such a large banquet, so she just happened to be with her.That's when she thought she had made a friend.

This Ms. Lin is also smart, and she quickly met several young ladies including the master's family.Then Miss Lin suggested that everyone sit around the stove and drink tea.So that the maids and women don't have to wait on them.It was during this period that Ms. Lin talked to all the ladies about her love of reading storybooks.He must be very good at telling stories, and he suggested that he tell everyone a short story.

At that time, I said one without thinking too much.Ms. He, who is the host, said that she thought it was interesting that she spoke well.I also suggested that I can tell you a longer story later when everyone shows their talents.

At that time, I was apprehensive because I only knew that there was such a thing as a talent show.Now Ms. He is happy that she proposed this idea.So in the hairpin part of the banquet, among the young ladies' piano, chess, calligraphy and paintings, she was unique like a storyteller in a teahouse, telling a story to everyone in the audience on the stage.

It made all the wives and ladies in the audience, as well as the young masters and young masters sitting in the front hall who she didn't know at that time, burst out laughing.All the other ladies received beautiful flowers.And what I received turned out to be money tipped by others.At that time, I was very stupid. I really thought that I was good at speaking, so people rewarded me.These ladies and ladies really love to listen.But now I know that they just want to humiliate themselves.How can there be a daughter of an official family who will entertain others by storytelling on stage.

She didn't understand the shock in her grandmother's eyes then.Now that she thinks about it, she feels a chill in her heart.

Now it seems that the Qiuju Banquet at that time was the same as the Qiuju Banquet now.It turned out that the so-called Third Miss of the Lin family who didn't attend the banquet for a long time and the eldest lady of the He family had been fighting with each other before the banquet.

It's just that she didn't understand that she didn't know the two of them.Why do you do this to her?

Thinking of this, Su Wanqiu couldn't help but sneered and said: "It seems that the eldest lady of the He family is going to join forces with the third lady of the Lin family to make me look bad."

Tourmaline looked puzzled and said: "Miss, how do you know that they are trying to make you look bad? You should have never dealt with them before."

Su Wanqiu shook her head and said: "I have never been in contact with them. I don't know why they make me look bad. But this time, if someone tries to make things difficult for me, I will try my best to return it to them."

Su Zhu on the side seemed to know something and frowned worriedly.Su Wanqiu was so angry at this time that she didn't notice this.

She thought for a moment and said: "This time I will take Mrs. Ran. After all, my grandmother and I have never participated in this kind of banquet. I don't know some of the etiquette rules. If you take Mrs. Ran, she can give me some pointers." two."

Having said that, she suddenly got up and walked out.Both Tourmaline and Suzhu didn't respond.The two hurried to catch up.

When the three of them came over, Qu Shiran was preparing to get some food for herself to have lunch with Weiwei for a whole day.Seeing Su Wanqiu coming over, she was a little surprised and said, "Why did you come here so early today? Aren't you going to take a lunch break today?"

Su Wanqiu looked at the simple food on the table and patted her head: "I was short of breath and didn't pay attention to the time. But is the lady ready to have lunch? This is too simple. Today I will cook and eat with you."

Qu Shiran hurriedly waved her hand and said, "How can I let you do it yourself. Let me do it."

Unexpectedly, Weiwei on the side said very shamelessly: "Sister...delicious...delicious."

Su Wanqiu said with a smile: "Let me do it. Even Weiwei thinks my cooking is delicious." Qu Shiran blushed with embarrassment.Although I have worked hard for so many years, I am still so bad at cooking.

Su Wanqiu greeted Tourmaline and Su Zhu to let them go to the kitchen to help.
