It is very common for the noble daughters of wealthy families to hold tea parties. They invite close friends of three or five boudoirs to recite poems and paint paintings, exchange feelings, and make contacts. The original owner has never received the invitation.
Ruan Sanniang had held four tea parties, and because they were only the prostitutes of the uncle's mansion, most of the little sisters invited were noble daughters of the same level, but the original owner was not invited four times.
Now Ruan Xi has become Wen Tingzhou's fiancée, and there are many noble girls who want to know her.
Ruan Sanniang's invitation was just the beginning, and Ruan Xi had a hunch that when she recovered, there would be many opportunities to go out to attend the tea party.
After Ruan Ning and Ruan Yuwen's brothers and sisters left, Ruan Xi stroked the mutton jade hairpin in his hand. If it was such a precious gift, if it was an ordinary woman, she would have felt joy and spring in her heart, but Ruan Xi's heart was calm, and there was no trace of ripple.
"Wen Tingzhou..."
Ruan Xi chuckled, whispered a name, a look of interest appeared in his eyes, really looking forward to meeting tomorrow.
…
The meal in the evening is as Ruan Xi expected, all dishes are rich in fragrance but greasy.
Suyu and Suzhu couldn't hide their anger.
"The madam really has no good intentions!"
Because of congenital heart disease, Ruan Xi's concentration and will are stronger than most.
"There's nothing to be angry about. Ma'am is using a conspiracy. It's better than adding medicine to the meal."
Ruan Xi smiled meaningfully.
Suyu and Suzhu turned pale with fright: "...what, you still...can administer medicine?" Miss's temper is too good.
"Miss, Madam, maybe someone really put medicine in the food?"
Suzhu looked at the food in front of her as if she was watching the plague, her eyes were full of fear.
The same is true for Suyu, who looks like he is facing a formidable enemy.
"Miss, why don't we find a doctor to take a look?"
Ruan Xi looked at their terrified looks, obviously frightened, and smiled helplessly: "Don't forget that there is an old lady in the house."
Of course, you can't pin your hopes on the old lady, Ruan Xi has other means.
This is what she just discovered, and it can be said to be a very useful cheat.
In the original owner's memory, she was not protected by her biological mother. When she was six or seven years old, the servants in the mansion saw that the wife did not want to see the fourth lady, so they began to deduct her share and food. Even if Xu's mother was angry, she had no choice but to do it. The entire uncle's mansion is under the control of the madam.
Unexpectedly, in just a few days, those slaves were sold out, and the wife was reprimanded by the old lady for not being strict with the housekeeper and bullying the master.
The original owner knew that her grandmother, who was eating vegetarian food and praying to Buddha, was not indifferent.
Suzhu and Suyu trusted the old lady after hearing what Chen's mother said about it.
In Ruan Xi's mind, the old lady's benevolent look appeared. This old lady favored Ruan Sanniang because Ruan Sanniang was the smartest of the four ladies in the uncle's house.
The original owner was very transparent, seeing clearly the truth of the old lady's doting, and did not cater to the old lady, revealing his intentions.
What the original owner did was right.
Didn't look at the original owner, but was killed by Mrs. Zhang just because of a good marriage.
If she didn't wear it, even if the original owner died, the old lady would only punish Mrs. Zhang, and would not really severely punish her.
With his son-in-law and Ruan Sanniang around, Mrs. Zhang will still be her uncle and wife.
Ruan Xi regretted the original owner's untimely death again, and hated Zhang's viciousness.
"Miss is right, there is also the old lady." Su Zhu's eyes lit up, and she instantly became optimistic.
Su Yu also felt relieved.
Ruan Xi smiled, but didn't laugh at their innocence. The original owner's two maids are loyal, but they don't understand many methods in the back house, and Mother Xu is not very good.
If it weren't for the fact that the original owner had hidden his clumsiness and avoided many secrets, how could Chengxin Garden be so peaceful.
There was something wrong with the food tonight, Ruan Xi only took one look and settled on the vegetarian dish.
Ruan Xi drank a few sips of chicken soup calmly, picked up the chopsticks, and slowly ate according to the dining etiquette taught by the master in the memory of the original owner.
The food is greasy, and the vegetable dishes are also fried with meat oil. Who would have thought that the only vegetarian dish had a little sterilization drug.
Ruan Xi only picked up a few chopsticks and ate meat and vegetables with white rice, and put down the chopsticks when he was 70% full.
"Suyu, dispose of the vegetarian dishes and don't let anyone find out. You can share the leftover meat dishes or give them to other women in the yard. Don't waste them."
Suyu quickly responded happily, and cleaned up the table with Suzhu.
Ruan Xi sat on the low couch, holding a cup of tea, lost in thought.
She thought it was her cheat to know the plot through time travel, but now she knows it is not, her cheat is very practical, there is no "addition" for lunch, so she doesn't know, there is something wrong with dinner tonight, and her cheat is exposed come out.
Naturally, I knew that a little sterilization drug was added to the vegetarian dish.
A bold guess emerged in Ruan Xi's mind, whether Goldfinger would remind her whenever there was something harmful to her body.
This guess needs to be verified.
But now she can rest assured that her meals are not afraid of being tampered with.
Ruan Xi is not afraid of tricky food and drink, but is afraid of the harmful methods that are hard to guard against in ancient back houses.
In the middle of the day, the rough envoy brought hot water, and Ruan Xi took a hot bath happily, and fell asleep early.
Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Sincerity in the main courtyard, was tossing and tossing. Dalang took the opportunity to climb up with Mr. Wen in the academy. It was a happy event, but when Zhang thought that he was in the favor of a concubine, he felt a sting in his heart. With a deep breath, he pissed himself off.
Especially from what Ning'er said, that Mr. Wen entrusted Da Lang to give Si Niang a top-quality suet jade hairpin, and he will come to visit him tomorrow...
Mrs. Zhang was furious, and once again hated the terrible marriage that her uncle had arranged for Ning'er. The marriage of her Ning'er, the daughter of the dignified uncle's mansion, was stepped down by a concubine, but this embarrassing situation It was she who made it all happen, Mrs. Zhang thought of Aunt Lin's mocking eyes in the afternoon, and ordered someone to secretly put a little sterilization medicine in Si Niang's meal.
This time, she did it very covertly, hiding it from the old lady's people.
Also sleepless are the other two aunts with daughters in the mansion.
On the contrary, Ruan Sanniang went to bed early like Ruan Xi, and she wanted to see the little sisters in the best condition.
Ruan Sanniang remembered that she had a little sister who was a cousin with the future queen mother, and they had been friends since they were in her boudoir.
Who would have thought that a small prince's concubine would later become a high-ranking empress dowager.
Her soul lingered after her death, and when she was wandering in the palace, she heard that the queen mother often invited her little sister who had a bad life after marriage into the palace.
The rest of the little sister's life went smoothly.
Ruan Sanniang secretly rejoiced that she was reborn and returned to the origin of time travel, and she hadn't turned against the little sister of the original body owner.
It would be great if I could get to know the future queen mother who has not yet entered the prince's mansion through my little sister.
Ruan Sanniang is having a sweet dream.
It's not that she didn't think about using the reborn prophet, the knowledge before time travel, and her own healing ability to catch up with the prince and become his woman.
But when Ruan Sanniang thought that once she repented of her marriage, her fourth sister would marry Qi Yuean and be spoiled by Qi Yuean for the rest of her life like in her previous life, but she would have to fight with other women, so she felt reconciled.
Qi Yue'an originally belonged to him, so Ruan Sanniang gave up being the prince's woman and decided to befriend the future queen mother.
Fortunately, Ruan Xi didn't know that Ruan Sanniang decided to hug the heroine's thigh, otherwise she would be dumbfounded.
