The noodles on the mat were presented one by one, "lotus leaf chicken", "honey sugar lotus root", "tender fried lotus seeds", "double-flavored lotus tofu", "lotus shredded shrimp roll", "Buddha Guanyin lotus", "lotus crispy"... It turns out that they are all related to lotus, and even the wine is sweet and drinks the flower wine. Zheng Wanli has indeed put a lot of effort into appreciating lotus today.

Because Zheng Wanli was in the name of inviting close friends from the old boudoir at the beginning, most of the people who came here today were young people, without elders, and Zheng Wanli was not arrogant. Most people were very relaxed and the atmosphere was particularly lively. After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere became even more lively. Some people even began to leave their seats to talk to people they knew, or to talk to people they wanted to know or cling to. The scene was extremely lively for a while.

Grandma Zheng Wu saw that Xu Shu didn't move the table on the table, and couldn't help asking, "Is it because the table today's face is not in line with Sister Jiu's appetite? Or is Sister Jiu's health unwell? I think Sister Jiu didn't even move the chopsticks!"

Xu Shu smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern for your fifth sister-in-law. I'm fine. But before going out in the morning, my mother was afraid that I would be hungry, so she asked me to eat an extra bowl of porridge, so she was not very hungry!" In fact, Mrs. Zheng Si was afraid that Xu Shu would eat something bad in Prince Qing's Mansion, so she asked her to eat more at home.

"Aunt Fourth Aunt Loves Ninth Sister!" Grandma Zheng Wu was slightly envious, but a trace of injury appeared in her heart. Who is not the pearl in her parents' hands at home? But once she gets married, she will no longer be rich. From then on, she will no longer be beautiful clothes and shining cleaning up. Instead, she will be filial to her parents-in-law, considerate to her husband, be lenient to her concubines, and give birth to children. From then on, she will have endless worries. She will no longer be the sweet girl who is loved by her parents, but she will have to endure the contempt and difficulties of her mother-in-law.

Xu Shu sensitively captured the fleeting injury of Grandma Zheng Wu. Could it be that Grandma Zheng Wu suffered any grievances in the Zheng family? But with the old lady's attention to Zheng Wanli, who dared to be angry with the eldest son of the third wife of the Zheng family? People from other houses dared not be angry with Grandma Zheng Wu, that is the third wife's own person? But wasn't Mrs. Zheng San very satisfied with Grandma Zheng Wu's wife? She didn't marry in but was looking forward to her marrying in every day? Now she wouldn't treat her harshly after she got married. As for Master Zheng Wu, although Xu Shu didn't see much, she often heard Master Zheng Qi mention that she was a reliable person and would not do anything bad to her newlywed wife. But how could Grandma Zheng Wu have such a depressed expression just now?

"Aunt Four loves Ninth Sister the most, and she can't even compare to the Tenth Sister!" Grandma Zheng agreed when she heard Grandma Zheng Wu's words, "The fifth brother and sister came in late, and they knew very little. When the weather was the hottest last year, Aunt Four took Ninth Sister to the other courtyard to escape the summer heat! This year, Sister Ninth Sister would also go with Aunt Four, right?"

Xu Shu nodded, "If nothing special is happening, my mother and I should have gone to the other courtyard for a while!" But this year, Young Master Zheng Liu and Young Master Zheng Qi are here, and Xu Shu is actually not sure whether Mrs. Zheng Si will go again this year.

At this time, Grandma Zheng said sarcastically, "This year, the Sixth Young Master and the Seventh Young Master are in the mansion, and the niece of my parents' family has also come. Aunt Fourth is afraid that she can't go to the villa!"

It was late when Grandma Zheng Wu entered the door, and I didn't know that Grandma Zheng had planned to marry her sister Cai Zhenzhen to Master Zheng Liu. So when Grandma Zheng was so sarcastic, she was a little surprised and looked at Grandma Zheng Second Grandma Zheng and hoped that Grandma Zheng would help solve the problem. However, Grandma Zheng was about to see the good show that was about to start, but she didn't notice the look of Grandma Zheng asking for help.

Xu Shu smiled and said, "What's the matter? Let the Sixth Brother and the Seventh Brother go together. The villa is cool and suitable for Sixth Brother and the Seventh Brother to study! As for the Qian family's cousin and cousin, they will go together naturally!"

Knowing that Mrs. Zheng Si’s niece was interested in her parents’ niece as her daughter-in-law, Grandma Zheng was upset when she heard Xu Shu’s words, and she hummed and didn’t say anything anymore.

"Miss Nine, please come over!" Zheng Wanli suddenly sent a maid to find Xu Shu.

Xu Shu bowed to the three young grandmothers of the Zheng family, "I lost my companion!"

"I've seen the concubine!"

Zheng Wanli took care of Xu Shu sitting down on the brocade stool next to her, with a friendly posture, but Xu Shu felt something was wrong.

"The fifth sister-in-law said that the ninth sister came with them, why didn't she go to my house to sit?" Zheng Wanli still had a smile on her face, but the smile was a little unusual. Compared to the enthusiastic smile when she asked Xu Shu to smell good, Xu Shu actually saw the indifference in such a smile besides falsehood.

Xu Shu smiled faintly and said, "The scenery of the royal palace is beautiful. I was so crazy about it that I got lost with my sister-in-law. When I came to my senses, I had no trace of my sister-in-law. I had to ask people all the way to come to the Huxin Pavilion first!" Although Xu Shu was pulled away by Deng Yarong, she separated from the young grandmothers of the Zheng family.

"I thought Sister Ninth deliberately didn't want to see me!" Zheng Wanli looked at Xu Shu, as if she wanted to see something from Xu Shu's face.

Xu Shu was stunned, "Why did the concubine say that?" Although she was indeed not happy to get too close to Zheng Wanli.

Zheng Wanli smiled softly and said, "I heard that Sister Ninth asked Miss Fu to enjoy the crabapple flowers a few days ago?"

Xu Shu nodded, "Yes!" She invited Fu Xinyao without hiding it. Everyone in the Zheng family saw it, and it was not surprising that Zheng Wanli knew it.

Zheng Wanli smiled even deeper, "I heard that Mr. Fu was here the next day?"

Xu Shu smiled, "Because I had some argument with Miss Fu the day before, Mr. Fu came to apologize to me the next day!"

Zheng Wanli was stunned, then shook her head, "There is no need to hide the ninth sister in front of me. The second young master Fu came to the Zheng family many times but they met the ninth sister. The Fu family and the Zheng family are also a perfect match!"

Zheng Wanli almost made it clear. Xu Shu didn't expect Zheng Wanli to say this. When Zheng Wanli fell in love with the Fu family, she was afraid that she would get close to the Fu family. Now what does Zheng Wanli suddenly say this mean?

"The concubine misunderstood. I invited Miss Fu only because Miss Fu said she liked the crabapple flowers in my yard before, so she invited her to enjoy them when the flowers bloomed!"

Zheng Wanli looked as if she had seen through Xu Shu's thoughts and completely ignored Xu Shu's explanation, "If Sister Ninth is interested in Mr. Fu, why don't I ask the Queen to help you two?"
