Chapter 162 Before the Autumn Banquet
Ling Xuanyi suddenly mentioned the autumn banquet, which made Mo Ying and Atractylodes all over the head. This is talking about the serious business, why did you suddenly turn to the banquet? Besides, when did you attend the autumn banquet in previous years?
Huihui looked disdainful and said that those who attended the autumn banquet were all vulgar things, but they were just places where women who had read books for three or two days went to show off, which was extremely boring.
Why are you thinking about the autumn banquet now?
Seeing that the two of them still didn't react, Ling Xuanyi waved his hand and signaled them to go down to do things, and was too lazy to explain anything to Mo Ying and Atractylodes.
"Mo Ying, why did our master suddenly mention the autumn banquet this year? Aren't you always dislike the women who show off at the autumn banquet?"
Atractylodes and Mo Ying walked out, but Atractylodes still couldn't figure it out, so he asked Mo Ying beside him in a low voice.
"Bang!"
Mo Ying reached out and patted her forehead, and suddenly remembered something. Today was busy and she forgot about the one in the imperial capital. She could ask the master to click on the autumn banquet, but wasn’t it because the one who would go to this year’s autumn banquet?
I forgot about this matter, no wonder my master suddenly mentioned the autumn banquet this year.
Seeing that Mo Ying was like this, Atractylodes quickly asked.
After Mo Ying mentioned the matter to Atractylodes, Atractylodes instantly reacted.
Ling Xuanyi was disguised by Wu Zhixiong. Fortunately, after he reacted, Ling Xuanyi returned to his calmness and arranged the things to be remediated, so he handled the matter in Bazhou with peace of mind.
Under Ling Xuanyi's tough tricks, Bazhou was completely smoothed in just five days, because the various negative situations caused by Wu Zhixiong's party were investigated were sorted out by Ling Xuanyi and others.
At this time, there were only less than ten days left before the autumn banquet of the imperial capital.
"Miss!"
In the imperial capital, Madam Liang, who has been recuperating for so many days, can now leave the house to help Xi Ningyu.
This is when Madam Liang came in from outside and saw that Xi Ningyu was still writing something next to the desk, so she called out.
Xi Ningyu raised his head and saw that it was Madam Liang.
So he put down the brush in his hand and smiled and asked Madam Liang to sit down and talk.
"Miss, after writing for a long time, I still have to get up and move. I heard from Madam Xiao that you have been writing for the whole morning.
But be careful of your eyes!”
Seeing that Madam Liang cared about her so much, Xi Ningyu also smiled warmly and nodded gently to show her knowing.
"The mama is not resting in the house now, but if you have something to come to me?"
Since Xi Ningyu took in Madam Liang, she admired her loyalty for the original owner and daughter for the rest of her life, and never had any boundaries. Even if she was bullied in the mansion and was harassed by others, she had never changed her loyalty.
So although Xi Ningyu was not the original owner and had no close relationship with Madam Liang, he respected Madam Liang as an elder for this.
Madam Liang naturally understood Xi Ningyu's feelings, so she was both grateful and frightened in her heart.
After all, I am a servant, and the one in front of me is the only descendant left by the lady master whom I have served since childhood, and this is also my master.
But Xi Ningyu always treats herself with an attitude towards her elders. Madam Liang feels frightened and uneasy. She has mentioned this to Xi Ningyu several times, but Xi Ningyu has always smiled and told her how to treat herself or how to treat her.
Madam Liang was really shocked and terrified!
"It's nothing big. I heard that you are going to attend this year's autumn banquet, Miss. I heard Chan'er say that the reason was because Miss offended the nobles in the imperial capital. I don't know what Miss..."
Seeing that Madam Liang wanted to speak but stopped, her words contained a lot of sorrow.
Xi Ningyu pondered for a moment and understood Madam Liang’s concerns.
"Mum, don't worry about me, and I'm not bullied if I don't say that my temperament is not bullied.
Even in my social circle, there are those who can suppress those two county and township lords, so the nanny doesn’t need to worry about these things.”
Over the past year, Madam Liang has learned a lot about Xi Ningyu from the two girls Chan'er Yu'er, and naturally also knows the sisters she came to the emperor to know.
As for the Mu family and the Jiang family, since Xi Ningyu was not exposed, Chan'er and Yu'er were also sensible. They did not say too much to Mrs. Liang, but just mentioned it lightly.
However, because Xi Ningyu had never said it personally, Madam Liang was uneasy and was still worried. She came here today to ask.
If you really don’t have a big backer, you might as well not go to this autumn banquet. At worst, it’s fine if you’re laughing at for a few days. It’s always better that you’ll be bullied for nothing.
But at this moment, seeing Xi Ningyu's confidence look, Madam Liang felt a little bit clear and could feel relieved.
"That's good, the lady is better cautious. The family is no longer peaceful, so don't cause any trouble outside that you don't need to cause.
I hope the lady doesn’t bother me.”
Xi Ningyu just smiled faintly when he heard this. How could he not know that Madam Liang was worried about him and spoke too much about persuading him? How could he blame this old lady?
"I know, Madam just don't worry, I know. I will definitely not mess with people who shouldn't be provoked, and I will be worried about me."
When Madam Liang saw Xi Ningyu like this, she no longer talked too much. She said some other gossip in the room with Xi Ningyu, then stood up and bowed and retreated.
As soon as Madam Liang left, Madam Xiao entered the house.
"Miss, Sister Liang is worried that the lady will be wronged outside, so she is here to recite the tight spell for you again?"
As soon as he entered the room, Madam Xiao smiled and joked at Xi Ningyu.
After so long together, Madam Xiao has already gained the full trust of Xi Ningyu and several girls, so Madam Xiao later left behind the unnecessary caution and alienation before.
Gradually, I actually started to have some jokes with Xi Ningyu and others. At first, I started to have some idle talks with Yu'er, and then added Chan'er.
Even Qingying and Qingqiong and Madam Xiao slowly figured out their temperaments, they could be funny from time to time.
Therefore, now I can occasionally tell a few jokes with Xi Ningyu.
Xi Ningyu heard Madam Xiao tease her, so he laughed a few times, joking about Madam Xiao, don’t Madam Xiao often chant curses to her?
The master and servant said a few laughter in the room before Madam Xiao went to the main business.
"Miss, you have already prepared all the preparations and delivered them to the yard. But it is still a bit incomplete. The grocery store there said that there is not enough goods in the store, and the new goods came for two days, so they immediately filled them up and delivered them.
Seeing that the shopkeeper was still honest and had worked with their store several times, I agreed to him and asked him to do it."
Madam Xiao handled the things Xi Ningyu had told me before, and today I reported back and forth. Since Madam Liang's health has improved, the affairs in the yard have been basically hosted by Madam Liang, and Madam Xiao has also been entrusted by Xi Ningyu to foreign affairs.
So over the past few days, all external purchases or expenditures in the abandoned courtyard were managed by Madam Xiao.
Over the past year, Madam Xiao has also seen it clearly. Although the little master in front of her is only 15 years old, she has prepared the instructions for these matters and when she reported back and forth afterwards.
This lady's comments on the matter are all right and right, without any deviation.
Therefore, Madam Xiao became more careful when doing business outside, and she thought about everything for a few minutes and calculated what she had done.
"Um.
Since Madam Xiao is honest and can rest assured, let the cabinet installer do it. If it can be done properly this time, she will prepare stocks in his store in the future, which will save you trouble for both of you!”
When Madam Xiao heard that Xi Ningyu did not blame herself for making a private idea and agreed to her way of dealing with it, it was equivalent to agreeing with her autonomy in some matters.
This is a good thing. In the future, unless you are outside, you can do something important before you can repay the lady. The lady's attitude at this time undoubtedly means that she has the right to make decisions when she deals with some things outside in the future.
Madam Xiao was also a smart person. After seeing Xi Ningyu secretly signaling to recognize her, she said some other things and then stepped back and did not make any continuous efforts to make a comeback.
Seeing that Madam Xiao was so polite, Xi Ningyu finally let go of the last bit of discomfort in his heart. He could boldly and confidently appoint Madam Xiao in the future.
There are only three days left before the autumn banquet, and Xi Ningyu has never taken a step forward in the door of Xi'an these days.
Monk Shao Qier Qingyan couldn't sit still. Seeing that Xi Ningyu hadn't found her for several days, she would never go to the abandoned yard again.
So Shao Qier made an appointment with Shang Qingyan and ran to Xi Mansion to find Xi Ningyu early in the morning.
Since I have been here many times, the servants in the mansion also know their identities. So today I saw the two of them coming together again. Without even asking, I let the monk Shao Qier enter the mansion.
But the servant guarding the gate said inward and told Huang that it was.
"Okay, Xi Ningyu, Miss Xi!
My sister monk is almost in a hurry. Are you sitting firmly on Diaoyutai and still in the mood to write a post here?”
As soon as Shao Qier entered Xi Ningyu's room, he saw Xi Ningyu writing something with a pen in front of the desk, so he said to Xi Ningyu half-coquettishly.
Shang Qingyan, who was standing beside him, kept giggling. It was rare to see Shao Qier forgetting her manners and speak so angrily.
When Xi Ningyu heard Shao Qier's voice, he also laughed.
"Look at you, that's a little anxious. I'm afraid that it's just that I haven't been to play with you these days, and it's true that I've been bored.
If I don’t go, it’s hard for you to find an excuse to go out. This is my sin, right?”
After Xi Ningyu said that, he saw Shao Qier rushing up to tear him up, and kept saying that he was bad-mouthed.
The two of them had a mess as if no one was around!
"Okay, okay, stop making trouble!"
After a while, Shao Qier was defeated and pushed Xi Ningyu, who was panting and rushing up to drink itchy, begging for mercy.
Xi Ningyu and Shao Qier took care of their slightly messy dresses, and the three of them sat down and spoke.
"By the way, those sisters in your family have stopped making trouble recently?"
As soon as she sat down, Shang Qingyan looked at Xi Ningyu and asked.
She had a deep memory of the other ladies of the Xi family, and she hadn't heard Xi Ningyu talk about the Xi family sisters recently.
So I was curious about inquiring.
"What a fuss? They all show off their faces at the autumn banquet, or even get a ranking, and work in their own yards. How can they have time to provoke me now!
