Chapter 27 Make Madam Happy


Mrs. Liu Wu was only eleven or twelve years old, but she already had some sense of shame. She couldn't help but blush when being laughed at by so many people.

"What do you know? That's a marching formation chart!"

As a result, no one paid any attention to her.

"Why did Mrs. Hou send a message to her family? Inviting someone who is illiterate in writing will not ruin the elegance of the banquet."

This was said very rudely, and several people buried their heads in laughter.

Liu Wuniang was told that she was illiterate, but she didn't seem too angry.

She stood in front of the four of them with her hands on her hips, looking charming and cute.

"If all the books teach is to talk behind people's backs like you do, then I'd rather not know a single word!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Several people were a little embarrassed: "Since when have we been chewing people's tongues?"

Liu Wuniang glanced at them contemptuously.

"If I hadn't gone out today without reading the almanac and walked this way to go to the toilet, I wouldn't have heard your dirty words. Bah! What a bad luck!"

The last sentence was entirely Liu Wuniang's reply with their own words, which obviously stung a few people.

Xia Mang, who was hiding behind the flower stand watching the show, almost laughed out loud. When he looked at Liu Wuniang again, he felt that she was pleasing to the eye.

He is a good quarrelmaker, and he can give her a run for his money.

When Liu Wuniang pointed her nose at her and scolded her for being unlucky, one young lady couldn't bear it anymore.

"Your father is just the commander of a small city defense department. Where do you have the courage to scold us?"

Indeed, as she said, the ladies gathered together were all second-rank officials in their families, not to mention the lords of the aristocratic families.

Liu Wuniang's father was Liu Hui, the commander of the City Defense Department, and his official rank was no more than third rank.

When it comes to family background, Liu Wuniang is indeed inferior to the four ladies present.

Even though those people used their status to oppress others, Liu Wuniang didn't panic at all.

"You are rude first, but you have to move out your own father and embarrass your parents as well. Isn't it really shameful?"

"You!"

Yun Sanniang saw that the little sisters couldn't quarrel with the sharp-tongued Liu Wuniang, and if they continued to argue with her like this, they would lose their value.

She stretched out her hand to stop her friend who was about to argue with Liu Wuniang, and walked to Liu Wuniang herself.

"Ms. Liu's words are serious. Today I am a guest at the Marquis Mansion. It is better not to start a dispute, so as not to lose etiquette."

Yun Sanniang spoke with a smile, seemingly not remembering the tit-for-tat incident just now.

She smiled brightly at Liu Wuniang: "Since Miss Liu likes Huang Lan, I naturally want to part with her."

Liu Wuniang has a straightforward temper and talks about things when she has something to say.

She had been having a heated argument with a few people just now, but now she saw Yun Sanniang's gentle smile, and naturally she couldn't say anything harsh.

When Liu Wuniang saw Yun Sanniang's generous gift of flowers, she turned around and forgot about the unhappiness she had just felt. Instead, she was so happy that her teeth grew white.

"Thank you, Miss Yun! But I don't want your things in vain. I will give you a gift in return."

Yun Sanniang was stunned for a moment, then smiled gracefully.

The meeting between the two parties was not pleasant, so without further words, everyone dispersed.

Qiao Yuandong stood behind the rose stand for a long time before walking back.

Xia Mang knew that she might not be in a good mood, so he just stayed with her silently.

‘Although you died young, in my opinion, the Yun family is indeed inferior to your family. ’

Xia Mang followed Qiao Yuandong back to the flower hall while complaining to the system in his heart.

I don't know whether it was because of watching the farce just now or because Xia Mang was choked. The system didn't respond at all to Xia Mang's words.

When the two returned to the flower hall, the banquet was coming to an end, and Qiao Yuandong said goodbye and left.

Mrs. Fu personally sent her to the door, prepared a generous gift, and packed another car to be sent to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion.

This was an apology from the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, and Qiao Yuandong accepted it without much refusal.

There was a carriage outside the Hou Mansion at this time, and Qiao Yuandong could only wait for the carriage to leave first.

She saw Liu Wuniang and her mother, Mrs. Liu, at a glance. At that time, Liu Wuniang was still holding the pot of yellow orchids happily.

When Mrs. Fu saw Qiao Yuandong looking at her, she smiled and said, "Miss Yun and Miss Liu are very good friends. Miss Liu said she liked the yellow orchid, and Miss Yun gave the flower to her at that time."

This flower belongs to Yun Sanniang, so she naturally has the right to decide who to give it to.

But Xia Mang, who had just watched a few people quarreling, expressed doubts about Fu's "good relationship".

Qiao Yuandong did not comment on this, but said meaningfully: "Flowers have their own owners, and Miss Liu is worthy of that potted flower."

Mrs. Fu's brows jumped after hearing this. She glanced at Qiao Yuandong vaguely, feeling that what she said was a bit inappropriate.

If Miss Liu is worthy, is Miss Yun not worthy?

Mrs. Fu just thought that Qiao Yuandong was drunk and said the wrong thing for a moment, and pretended not to hear.

On the Liu family's carriage, Mrs. Liu looked at her daughter and held out the pot of yellow orchids to her as if she were offering a treasure.

"My mother likes flowers the most. Can I give these flowers to my mother to display in the house?"

Mrs. Liu carefully took the pot of yellow orchid and caressed the orchid leaves lovingly, feeling both happy and worried at the same time.

She gave her daughter an appraising look.

"Danniang, is this flower really given to you by Miss Yun? Or are you robbing someone else again?"

Liu Nandan pouted her little mouth and looked at her mother unhappily.

"Mom, I have always been the most reasonable person, how could I steal other people's things!"

Mrs. Liu still felt uneasy.

"But since when did you become so close to Miss Yun?"

So good that she was willing to give away the precious yellow orchid?

When Liu Nandan was asked this question by Mrs. Liu, her black grape-like eyes rolled. As soon as she saw her reaction, Mrs. Liu knew that something was wrong.

Mrs. Liu was racking her brains to recall what her daughter had done at today's banquet, while mentally interrogating her daughter.

"Tell me honestly, what trouble did you get into today?"

Liu Nandan didn't feel at all that he was in trouble today, so he told his mother exactly what happened.

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu nodded her daughter's forehead angrily and funnyly.

"I'm so spoiled by you that I dare to say anything!"

Liu Nandan covered her head and acted coquettishly at her mother, asking her, "Isn't this going to hurt dad?"

Mrs. Liu smiled: "That's not the case. Miss Yun gave you Huanglan just to silence you, and they won't tell anyone about it."

They are all daughters who have not left the court, so they are very shameful.

If this matter comes out, it will not only offend people, but also easily damage the marriage.

Mrs. Liu thought about it and felt that the problem was not big. She looked at her daughter nestled in her arms and felt quite emotional.

Sure enough, you still can't judge people by their appearance, and she was still thinking of asking which family to ask for from her sons.

Now it seems that family background is secondary, and noble character is the best choice!

On the carriage back home, Qiao Yuandong felt the same sigh as Mrs. Liu.

Xia Mang saw her looking gloomy and thought she was sad because of the words of those young ladies.

Xia Mang felt that maybe she should do something, but she had no clue.

So Xia Mang asked the system for help.

‘Hey! Lao Xiang, how did you make your wife happy in the first place? ’

After Xia Mang revealed his identity, the system began to break down.

After listening to her question, he thought about it systematically and said, 'I used to give her sword dancing. ’

Xia Mang looked at his chicken-foot-like hands: ‘. Be practical! ’

The system was silent for a while and then said: 'She loves reading, and I will also read to her. ’

Xia Mang couldn't help but want to complain, what kind of dull hobbies are these?

There were several books on the carriage that Qiao Yuandong often read. Xia Mang hesitated and picked one up.

"Madam, shall I read to you?"

Qiao Yuandong couldn't help but glance at Xia Mang, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and finally nodded without saying anything.

Xia Mang then cleared his throat, turned to the first page and read the words on the book.

It was just that the traditional Chinese characters throughout the article made her dizzy.

"This, this, this, what? In A, it says um. When it happens, in B, it says, this, what?"

Just the first sentence made Xia Mang unable to read any more.

Because at this moment, Qiao Yuandong was laughing so much that her shoulders were shaking. She was just practicing herself, so she tried her best not to laugh out loud.

Xia Mang put down the book in embarrassment. She couldn't help but scratch her head and sighed in her heart again.

It's okay, so don't pretend to be a cultured person.

Look how embarrassing it is to make people laugh?

Qiao Yuandong laughed until the end and buried his head, even covering his mouth with a handkerchief.

After a while, Qiao Yuandong calmed down and took the book from Xia Mang's hand.

"Sit over here and I'll read to you."

Xia Mang actually didn't really want to listen to such literate things. She was not Qiao Yuandong and had no interest in listening to people read.

But it is rare for a leader to be so elegant. As a successful social animal, he must always provide full emotional value,

So Xia Mang tried his best to look studious and sat down next to Qiao Yuandong.

Qiao Yuandong opened the "Zhou Ji" that Xia Mang had just read, pointed at the words on it, and read each sentence to Xia Mang.

Her voice was cold and reserved, and her reading was gentle.

It seemed as if what she was holding was not a book but an old friend she had known for many years.

Even though Xia Mang didn't know what it meant, he still felt that listening to Qiao Yuandong's voice was very relaxing.

So Xia Mang relaxed and fell asleep.

Qiao Yuandong was concentrating on his study when he suddenly felt his shoulders sink and a furry head rested on his head.

Her voice paused.

Looking at Xia Mang leaning against him, Qiao Yuandong frowned.

She moved her shoulders slightly, and Xia Mang felt the instability in his sleep, and even twisted his body dissatisfied, stretched out his hands, and hugged Qiao Yuandong's arm.

"What a courageous person."

Qiao Yuandong laughed and cursed, but did not wake up Xia Mang.

Thinking about it, this girl was very tired after spending most of the day with him out there.

Let her fall asleep.

Xia Mang slept until she reached the door of Zhenguo Palace. When Qiao Yuandong pushed her awake, she was still dreaming about eating pig knuckles.

Xia Mang sat up in confusion, touched his sore head, and met Qiao Yuandong's faint eyes.

Seeing Qiao Yuandong's weak shoulders, Xia Mang's mouth moved faster than his brain.

"Madam is too thin, she should eat more."

Qiao Yuandong, whose shoulders were so painful from the pressure: "."
