Old Mrs. Xie personally tasted a few dishes and surprisingly all of them were salty.
If a dish is a little salty, it can be said to be a cook's mistake, but the vast majority of them don't want to be salted, so it's obvious that it's done on purpose.
Her old man was so furious that he had absolutely no idea how to explain the past.
Yuan had never experienced such a scene before and only knew how to smile sarcastically.
Xie Ping hung her head low, minimizing her presence.
"I apologize to all of you on behalf of the Xie family." Yun Chu stood up with a face full of sincere apologies, "It's my fault for not being a good housekeeper for such a big mistake in the birthday banquet, I'll first punish myself here with three cups."
She had just raised her glass.
Qin Mingheng then spoke up, "Who in the entire capital doesn't know that Mrs. Xie is still sick, and that this birthday banquet was not organized by Mrs. Xie, so it's not your turn to punish yourself."
"I'm the head mother of the Xie Residence, even if I didn't personally organize it, it's still because I'm not disciplining properly, I should be punished." Yun Chu picks up the wine cup and tilts her head back about to drink it all.
Qin Mingheng's brows furrowed as he was about to get up.
He saw that the wine cup in Yun Chou's hand was taken away by Xie Jingyu who was at his side, and he directly drank three cups.
Qin Mingheng's eyes instantly became dark, a smile if any hanging at the corners of his lips, "Lord Xie and Lady Xie are truly husband and wife, it's so enviable."
For some reason, Yun Chou actually heard a slight hint of mockery in those words.
She ignored the trace of discomfort and opened her mouth, "The Xie Mansion will arrange for someone to go to the restaurant to set up the mat at the fastest speed, please wait a moment, now first serve the longevity peaches and longevity noodles, so that we can all dip into the blessings."
Mrs. Yun Lin nodded, "I will arrange for someone to assist together."
The Yun family was second to none in the capital, and with Mrs. Yun's help, the crowd knew that the banquet would soon be ready, and the atmosphere immediately eased up quite a bit.
Underlings will be birthday peaches up, is made of flour in the shape of red peaches, written with a large word of longevity, the largest one placed in front of the birthday girl Xie old lady, the rest of the tables are placed on a large plate.
The old lady experienced a succession of moths, the spirit of atrophy a lot, this will be strong to raise the spirit of cutting birthday peaches.
However, as soon as the peaches opened, her old man was so frightened that he backed up and actually fell off his chair, and the birthday noodles were directly knocked over.
The people at the bottom looked upwards and were in a state of chaos.
"Oh my god, why are the birthday peaches full of worms!"
"My goodness, it's normal for real peaches to have worms, how can a peach made of flour have so much nasty stuff in it."
"This is an ominous sign!"
Yunchu's eyes narrowed.
Last night after the little guy fell asleep and dreamed, said dream words, said what bugs and so on, is today's birthday banquet on these moths, is the little guy to do?
He Xu is even more bold, but he only dares to take the second best and greed some silver, and the dead fish, the salt, and the worms ... are definitely the work of Chu Hongyu.
Did that little guy know that she was having a rough time in the Xie family, so he was taking it out on her?
Seeing the old lady paralyzed with fear on the floor and the Xie residence in a panic, her bad breath went out quite a bit.
"Everyone, don't panic." Xie Jingyu stood out, try to keep calm, "green worm through the green pine, green pine hundred life, is an auspicious omen, scared you all is Xie family is not. This will seat surface has not yet come up, you might as well drink tea first, this tea is the tribute from the western region to the palace, you will know if you taste it."
In addition to the Yun family and Xuanwu Marquis, the rest of the people are five, six, seven small officials, basically never seen what the tribute, listening to Xie Jingyu so, one only had to press the mind of the farewell, waiting in the seat to drink tea.
This time the tea is Xie Jingyu let Xie Shi'an personally stared to do, from beginning to end there is no negligence, which dares to serve to the front of the crowd.
Palace tribute that is naturally excellent, the party was scared of the crowd, one by one, show their faces, talk to each other up.
The old lady was flanked by the Xie family ladies to go down and re-freshen up.
"Bang!"
A glass smashed to the ground.
Xie Ping was so scared that her knees went weak, "Old lady, it's all my fault, it's me who didn't prepare for the birthday banquet, it's me who made the Xie family a disgrace, you can beat me to death!"
The old lady raised her foot and tried to give Xie Ping a kick.
Was Yuan's to stop: "Things have happened, now blame Ping sister child also useless, and say Ping sister child a not out of the cabinet of the big girl, let her do such a big thing should not have been, Ping sister child is too small, the first child is sick, the old lady you are older, to pursue the matter, in fact, it is my fault, if I have the talent of the housekeeper, why let the Xie family become the jokes in the capital ..."
"Mother, now is not the time to blame yourself." Yun Chu speaks in a faint voice, "Mother Zhou, bring a few people and put He Xu under guard."
"Yes, tie up He Xu first." The old lady said in a hateful voice, "Even the master's birthday banquet dares to tamper with it, I think he's tired of living, when the birthday banquet is over and the guests have dispersed, let's see if I don't cut his skin!"
Xie Ping shivered.
When the birthday banquet was over, the old lady would surely chastise her as well, and she had no idea what would await her.
Mother Zhou immediately brought someone to get He Xu.
He Xu recently can be said to be the scenery without two, first Chen Defu gave a few stores for him to personally take care of, he has many more followers under his hands, followed by the old lady's birthday banquet most of the things are also in his hands, from which he does not know how much oil and water, the front of the time in the life of the banquet, he shelled out the silver to buy some wine and pig's head meat, and a few of his men in the back door of the side of the food and drink, but also gambling money.
He was playing around when he was suddenly held down by one of Mama Chow's men.
"What are you doing, what are you doing?" He Xu struggled violently, he drank wine, his strength was so strong that the two grannies were somewhat unable to hold him down.
Mother Zhou let someone directly hit a stick on He Xu, then gagged, four grannies together dragged the person away.
Just as he traveled to the eaves of the porch, he ran into He, who had come to look for He Xu.
He opened her lips in surprise: "Mother Zhou, what's going on, what did Steward He commit?"
"Not He mom should worry about things to ask less." Zhou mother coldly said, "Today the old lady birthday, the house many guests, He mother of the body of the crime or not to walk around ... Mrs. He mother exempted a day of confinement, is Mrs. leniency, He mother do not spoil a piece of the lady's goodwill."
After saying that, he took the struggling He Xu and left.
He's heart was burning with anxiety, she hurriedly pulled a few people to inquire, and soon inquired about what happened in the front yard, and her heart instantly sank to the bottom.
He Xu had it coming to him when he was taken.
But on what grounds was her Ping Sister's reputation ruined?
She suddenly realized that the lady claimed to be sick and threw the birthday banquet to a thirteen year old young lady to handle, which is not intentionally to ruin Ping's reputation?
An Ge'er was punished by the madam for kneeling in the ancestral hall.
Yeeko was put on the family law by the madam.
And now Ping's marriage has been ruined by the Lady.
Your Ladyship is so deeply calculating!
When this banquet is over, Ping'er's life will be over.
She couldn't stand by and watch that happen.
Thinking of this, He hurriedly ran towards the front yard, she wanted to find Xie Jingyu to discuss a remedy.
