Hold the thick thighs tightly [My father is a traitor]

Chapter 349 It’s all for face

Xiao Yining is really inexperienced. She doesn't know that even if there is only one flower at the flower viewing banquet, people can appreciate it to their heart's content and sip tea for a long time.

She raised her eyes and glanced at the flowers around her. Although they had different postures, they were really ordinary in her eyes. Instead, the graceful and charming young ladies in the garden stood in groups of three or five, like delicate flowers, competing for beauty.

It seems that the flowers to be appreciated are not those flowers.

Lu Jiayi behind her explained to Liu Zhenying, "Sister Xie is competing with the other party in poetry!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman who wrote the poem came over. She was wearing a thin veil, so her true face could not be seen, but her eyes were full of smiles, and it was obvious that she was genuinely happy to see them.

Her eyes inadvertently passed behind Xiao Yining, paused for a moment, and finally landed on Xiao Wa and Liu Zhenying. She greeted them with a smile, "Ms. Liu, Ms. Lin, I hear Ah Man talking about you every day, and today I finally get to see you."

Then, she turned to look at Lu Jiayi and gently said, "Ah Man, your classmates are playing in the pavilion over there. Take the two little classmates over there."

As she spoke, she called a maid over, "Qingdai, Miss Lin is the youngest, you go and wait by her side."

As soon as these words came out, Qingyao behind Xiao Yining spoke up, "Second Miss, Master Jiu has ordered me to take care of you personally, so there is no need to send anyone else."

"Of course I know that. But, Sister Qingyao, I am the one who organized this flower-viewing banquet, and I cannot let anyone talk about it." Xie Wan Ning replied with a smile, and Xiao Yining's maid was added.

The little kid couldn't help but turn his head to look at his own lineup. Four maids, three groups of people, uh...

After Xie Wan Ning gave her instructions, she bowed slightly and went somewhere else to fulfill her duties as a good host.

The three little ones also reunited with their classmates whom they hadn't seen for many days.

When the gossip squad gets together, eating melons is inevitable.

Ever since Xiao Yining had the help of the beggar Baozi, who is good at reporting things, he is finally not too far behind in learning the gossips in Yanjing, but there are still many things he doesn't know.

"I heard from my father that the battle with the Hu people in the north city was very fierce. I don't know how Jiaojiao is doing." Yan Ke said with a worried look on his face.

Liu Zhenying pursed her lips and spoke slowly, "Now the North City is sealed off, people can only go in but not out. If Jiaojiao wants to come back, she will probably have to wait until the war is over."

"The Hu people have been recuperating for so many years. I heard that they have assembled an army of 50 this time and are determined to capture the North City..." Shi Wanwan also frowned, looking worried.

The rest of the words were not finished, but everyone present knew what they meant.

Ten children raised their eyes at the same time towards the garden. They were not interested in the scene of young girls laughing and playing. There was also a little friend in the war-torn North City, which concerned everyone.

Xiao Yining's face was filled with the most sorrow, as the men in her family were all in North City.

With a sad face, she turned around and looked at the lively garden, then cast her gaze to the other side of the lake, where a group of handsomely dressed men were writing and drawing around a few tables. Her fellow villager was finally led into the garden to appreciate poetry and paintings with them.

At this moment, Jin Xingman's words suddenly sounded behind her.

"Just now I accidentally heard a few sisters say that the prince of Qiyuan Hou came here uninvited today. His injuries haven't healed yet, and my cousin will probably be worried if she knows about it."

"How is your cousin's face? She has to observe mourning now, so the wedding date has been postponed. By then, her face should be almost healed."

The person who said this was Cui Zhiyao, and they were sitting together today.

"But my aunt wants my cousin to get married during the mourning period, and she is very anxious now. So she wants me to ask Sister Cui if there is any miraculous medicine for scars that can make my cousin's face heal faster." Jin Xingman looked at Cui Zhiyao hopefully, but the latter shook his head regretfully.

Cui Zhiyao turned slightly to look at the Second Miss Xie Wan Ning who was walking among the crowd, and said in a low voice, "Even the Jade Snow Cream can't quickly restore a person's appearance, let alone anything else."

Venus Man sighed with regret.

Xiao Yining listened to the two people's conversation silently and shifted his gaze to Xie Wan Ning's face.

At this moment, Xie Wan Ning glanced over as if she had sensed something, and her eyes were full of deep meaning.

The little boy shifted his gaze away unnoticeably and looked at the other side of the lake. The man on the other side had written a few words and asked a maid to bring them over in a small boat.

Xiao Yining: ..., this social gathering makes things even more obvious, and the workers will always be the ones who suffer.

"Sister Yining, stop looking and have some tea cakes. The food made by my sister Xie's small kitchen is delicious." Lu Jiayi looked at the tea cakes brought to the pavilion, quickly picked up a piece and stuffed it into her mouth, not forgetting to greet her.

Xiao Yining turned around and saw the exquisite translucent tea fruit on the table. He couldn't help but blurt out "It's so beautiful!"

The tea fruit is made like pudding, it is springy and tender, and you can even pick it up with your hands.

Lu Jiayi said proudly, "My sister Xie specially asked my uncle to borrow a cook for the flower viewing banquet. She is from Jiangnan."

The leading maid put the tea and fruit on the table, then turned to Xiao Yining and said, "Ms. Lin, my second young lady is worried that you might not be used to drinking scented tea, so she prepared some milk for you with honey in it."

"Thank you, Second Miss!" Xiao Yining immediately smiled broadly after hearing this.

"Thank you, sister, for being so thoughtful." Shangguan Ruyi looked at the maid's back as she left and said with emotion, "A'man, you have to learn from her."

"I'm still learning. As soon as I have a holiday, my father sends me to the Xie family and lets me learn the rules from my sisters." Lu Jiayi replied with a smile.

When Liu Zhenying heard this, she sneered without commenting, and asked the maid beside her to put the milk in front of Xiao Yining. She glanced at her with raised eyebrows and said one word domineeringly, "Drink."

Xiao Yining: ...

Yu Ke, who was sitting on the other side of the little kid, couldn't help but giggle. She picked up a piece of flower-shaped tea fruit and handed it to the little kid, reminding her, "Sister Yining, don't eat too much!"

As expected, both of them thought of Xiao Yining’s dark history.

Little Yining took the tea fruit with a deep hatred and wished he could slap himself a few times for being greedy.

At this moment, the back of the child's hand suddenly hurt, and the fruit in his hand fell to the ground.

At the same time, 13's cold voice rang above her head, "Did I let you eat?"

Little Yining looked up in disbelief, and met 13's indifferent eyes. She instantly burst into tears, and looked so pitiful with tears in her eyes.

Unfortunately, 13 was a cold-hearted woman. She ignored the kid who was acting pitiful and didn’t say anything else.

This sudden change made the little girls in the pavilion stunned. Their maids had been trained to be very obedient and rarely committed crimes.

Seeing this, Qiu Yi could only step forward and explain, "This sister was specially invited by the Madam to take care of Miss's meals. Miss has been forbidden to eat snacks."

Everyone suddenly realized what was going on and didn't care anymore.

"Sister Yining really needs to eat well, otherwise she will be like me, starving for three hours at A'man's house." Shangguan Ruyi, as a person who has experienced this, gave a serious warning.

Seeing that she was bringing up the past again, Lu Jiayi immediately stood up and retorted, "It was you who didn't eat breakfast at home."

Shangguan Ruyi spread his hands and stated the facts seriously, "But I was hungry at Ah Man's house."

Before he finished speaking, the two of them started to make noises, chasing each other in the pavilion, which immediately made the other children laugh.

At this moment, little Yining was still staring at the delicious tea fruit with grievance, and his little index finger was unconsciously stuffed into his mouth.
