Seeing the strange shape of Suxue, Xiu Ying decided to keep an eye out for Cui Xianzi. She didn't know what that package was either.
After tidying up her dress, she waited for the red mark on her face to fade a bit before bringing the screen back with her.
Shen Guan and the others no longer chased after the butterflies, and they had gained a lot.
Seeing Xiu Ying leisurely walk over, Shen Guan happily showed her the net, showing off her achievements. The butterfly only had a bright color, and was indeed pretty. Xiu Ying patted her cousin, who was only half a head shorter than her, like a bounty. The screen was watching from the side and felt that this scene was very strange.
"Big Sister, let me tell you in secret that we are on equal footing because Min family doesn't want to be near us. It doesn't show her status. "
Shen Guan suddenly whispered mysteriously into Yinxiu's ear.
Xiu Ying froze for a second, then caressed her little face. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"It's not nonsense." The little girl had a serious expression, "It was elder sister Chen who told me this. She also didn't want to get too close to elder sister Chen. Look around her, all the people around her are concubines." And … I also heard about it. "
You even heard of it?
The corner of Xiu Ying's eyes twitched. This little cousin of hers is Bao Dating, right? Why does she know all the gossip?
Shen Yu Guan didn't know that she was being criticized by her cousin, "The Min family's house is about to move to the capital, at the capital, I think she can only stay with the Shu girls. Sister Liao said that there are a lot of noble ladies in the capital who do not like to play with the ladies who move to their own homes. They have a very high opinion of the world. "
After which, he looked as though he had vented his anger.
Xiu Ying didn't know whether to laugh or cry. However, she knew that the capital was a cold place. Even though it wasn't exactly like that, it was more or less enough.
"You can just say those words to me, but don't go around telling others that they hate you." Xiu Ying thought about it and still said a few words.
Shen Yu Jiao raised her chin and said, "Heh, other people want to hear about it, but I'm not stupid. Of course I only said it to you, big sister."
Xiu Ying smiled and nodded. However, she knew that this cousin of hers couldn't change her personality. Because the two of them had left the pavilion, she would still talk to her from time to time.
At the Kang Ning Courtyard, they were also talking about the matter of Min's parents moving to Beijing.
Originally, the Min family had left the Pavilion Elder and had a large house in the capital. However, the Pavilion Elder had retired for some reason, and even the mansion in the capital had been sold back to the Yongping Mansion. Two generations ago, the master of Min's parents' house was now a capital official. If he moved to the capital, it might be a sign that the Min family would rise again.
All the women present had different thoughts when they heard this, but they were all congratulating Lady Min. Some of them had even agreed on their next job, so it was their turn to invite Lady Min instead. An excuse not to see each other much later on in the past.
After all, they were all officials. If they had anything to do in the future, they could help each other and get on good terms with each other.
Eldest Madam Min agreed with a smile.
When noon was about to begin, Xiu Ying and the other juniors were also called back. Old Lady Shen used the time to change her clothes to secretly call Madam Feng over.
The little girl changed her appearance. She looked at the mirror and felt that it was appropriate. She then said to Madam Feng, "Boss' daughter-in-law, don't you think we should get closer to the Min family as well?"
"My daughter-in-law feels that there is no need to do this. That would be too special and it would not be good. When Senior Min sets off, let Master send a special Cheng Yi. That way they'll remember us. "
Old Lady Shen's eyes lit up when she heard this. She pulled Madam Feng's hand and gently patted it. "That's the truth. In this mansion, you're the only one with a clever mind …"
Madam Feng only smiled at her praises. Then, without batting an eyelid, she withdrew her hand and helped her to straighten her clothes. Old woman Shen knew that the Feng family's heart wasn't really close to hers, but she didn't blame them too much. After all, back then it was the eldest's fault, and the eldest was currently borrowing her power.
Thinking about the Feng family and all that, Old Lady Shen wanted to sigh. She didn't know if this was a bad fate or what it was.
Xiu Ying sat at the table for a while before Madam Feng helped Old Lady Shen over. She had seen a lot of people, so it wasn't a good time to talk about Aunt Cui. Thus, she continued to sit there.
The juniors sat at a table. On the left side of Xiu Ying was Shen Guan, and on the right was the Chen Family's second daughter. Shen Yu Guan was dishonest even if he wanted to eat, and would occasionally stick his head out and whisper with Chen Er. Xiu Ying was speechless when she heard this.
It was finally time for the meal, the elders moved the chopsticks, and Shen Yu Guan finally stopped eating.
Xiu Ying had only taken two bites before she heard a scream and then the sound of a spoon falling onto the ground. In an instant, the entire hall went silent.
Shen Lian somehow bumped into Miss Min and poured soup on her.
Miss Min stood up with a pale face, her new dress was full of hot water, looking a little awkward. Shen Lian was at a loss for what to do, but after the elders looked over, their eyes immediately turned red.
Xiu Ying's heart didn't look good. Sure enough, Mrs. Min's face was a bit gloomy. With Shen Lian's appearance, no one would know that she was the one who was wronged.
"Sister Min, it's not that hot, right?" Xiu Ying walked in front of Miss Min and wiped her body with the handkerchief. Then, she raised her head and looked at the girls who were still standing there foolishly. "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and come over to help."
Madam Feng looked at her daughter approvingly. The people who came were guests, and they were the ones who were careless here. Of course, there was no way for them to appease others. The concubine's eyes reddened at first, as if she had been wronged. She didn't know how to apologize, but if she was really raised by an aunt, she would only know how to be petty.
"Hurry to the side room and see if it's hot, Tsui Tsui. Take good care of it."
Mrs. Min's face finally looked better. Miss Min's face was a bit red. She glanced at Shen Lian before she left.
Although it was already spring, it was fortunate that the soup didn't seep into Lady Min's dress before it was time to change into a thin shirt. The little girl Min carefully examined it and then breathed a sigh of relief. She told Xiu Ying, who was waiting outside the screen, that everything was fine. Xiu Ying's heart relaxed.
The Min family might have made some moves now, and their family might even move to the capital. It would be a loss if they got a small pimples over such a small matter.
Although Xiu Ying had always been in the back of the mansion, she had once been a fourth rank madame. Moreover, the Feng Family had always loved to teach her government affairs, which made her more sensitive towards political affairs. However, up until now, she still didn't know why her mother was so clear about the matters of the capital. As long as it was a noble's home, she could tell that her mother had never been there. She had also thought about it before. Maybe her mother never mentioned her maternal grandfather's family, so what did it have to do with the capital?
It was just that in the end, she didn't even have the chance to ask Madam Feng about these matters.
Xiu Ying's thoughts went a bit astray, but she still shouted and came back to her senses. She looked at Min Xin with an embarrassed smile and said, "Big sister Min's changed, this body is even better than before. Moreover, big sister Min is so tall, she's obviously only one year older than me, her figure is also so slim and beautiful."
In order to repair their relationship, Xiu Ying had to pretend to be an eight year old child as she praised Miss Min. Miss Min was praised by her to the point that her face turned slightly red. At any rate, she only revealed a smile. Only then did Xiu Ying's heart finally settle down to her stomach.
