Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 225

Finally finished the work on the banquet, Mrs. Chen ordered the chief steward of the mansion to send the ladies of each family to the gate of the mansion in person.A little maid brought sweet soup, and Rui Zhu was about to bring it to Mrs. Chen, when Qiu'er hurried over and brought it over while Mrs. Chen wasn't paying attention.Mrs. Chen didn't eat much at the banquet just now, and she has to order so many things, she should be hungry by now.

Mrs. Chen drank a few sips, then said: "How is everyone in the mansion?"

Qiu'er said: "It's all good. The dining room is also good."

Mrs. Chen heard that she brought up the dining room alone, and asked, "What's wrong with the dining room?"

Qiu'er smiled and said: "Master Xia has strict rules. He said that except for the eight people mentioned by Madam, even if I obey Madam's words, I won't let in."

As soon as Mrs. Chen heard it, she knew that she had hit a wall with Xia Junyan and came to sue.Although this little girl is clever and clever, she is just jealous, so it's not a big deal after all.

He called Ruizhu again and asked, "Is there anything unusual in the front yard?"

Ruizhu replied politely: "Everything is fine, those boys are smart."

Mrs. Chen took some food and thought that Xia Junyan was going back, so she hurriedly changed into her regular clothes, and told Ruizhu to take her to the Summer Palace.

Xia Junyan was inquiring about the little maid named Qingguo with the lady in charge. The lady in charge had already regretted locking up Lady Zhao before, and she would not be reconciled to offending people in the mansion for an outsider.Although Qingguo is just a little maid, the lady in charge still feels that Xia Junyan has made a fuss out of a molehill.What about poisoning is obviously just a reason thought up for the whole green fruit.

The two were at a stalemate when Ruizhu came.

"Madam is looking for you." Rui Zhu said, "If shopkeeper Xia is not busy, follow me to see Madam."

Xia Junyan talked with the lady in charge for so long and the other party still didn't let go, which made her a little suspicious. Could it be that she really cares about it?After all, Qingguo's biggest mistake from beginning to end was entering the dining room from the outside and splashing her all over.

Is it really an accident?

Xia Junyan had nine twists and turns in her heart, and she walked to the Baoxia Hall without knowing it.Mrs. Chen immediately asked her to sit down, and said kindly: "It's been really hard for shopkeeper Xia today."

Xia Junyan even said she didn't dare.

Mrs. Chen said again: "Have Shopkeeper Xia read those books last time?"

Xia Junyan immediately replied sternly: "After reading it, the custom chronicles are quite interesting, but the poems are somewhat incomprehensible."

Mrs. Chen nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "If you don't understand, you can circle around and ask me. I still have a whole room of books. If shopkeeper Xia likes it, you can borrow it to read."

Xia Junyan thanked her quickly: "How dare you bother Madam so much, Madam is busy..."

Mrs. Chen waved her hand, signaling Xia Junyan not to refuse: "I see that shopkeeper Xia is also a good book reader, and the book must be read with others, otherwise it would be a pity to let moths eat it."
