Chapter 19 19 I'll go right away

Second Sister-in-law Lin knew the reason and just glanced at Lin Tingting with a strange expression. But Lin Tingting didn't realize anything yet. Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, she became more and more enthusiastic and pointed at Jiang Ruanxi to question.

"Second sister-in-law, you said the dishes you asked people to prepare today, look at this fish, it doesn't taste fresh. Are you deliberately trying to spoil the fun?"

Lin Tingting said while using chopsticks to pick up the fish in front of her.

Before Jiang Ruan Xi could speak, a familiar voice came to mind from the male family table next door.

Jiang Ruanxi looked over and found that the person speaking was Li Xun, who had just spoken for Lin Ningkun.

"Ning Kun, this fish is Bletilla striata. I heard it grows specifically in the sea waters in the south. It tastes extremely delicious. Even the dignitaries in Kyoto who want to eat it have to make reservations with Jixianglou a month in advance, and they may not be available."

"I heard that this kind of fish is extremely difficult to survive. People have to watch it all the way. If it dies, it must be kept fresh with ice cubes immediately. Last time I followed my father to Jixianglou for dinner, and the fish obviously died on the way. The quality It’s obviously not as good as this.”

"I didn't expect that Mr. Li, you really know everything."

"You don't usually go out, so you don't know this..."

"..."

All kinds of compliments were thrown at Li Xun like they were free of charge.

But to Li Tingting's ears, these words were undoubtedly sharp knives, piercing into Lin Tingting's heart.

It was as if her actions were showing off her ignorance.

She was so embarrassed that her face turned red and she even felt helpless.

"I didn't expect Mrs. Hou to be so attentive to this banquet. Let alone Bletilla, this is the first time I've heard of it. I've learned a lot by following you."

Sister-in-law Lin saw that the atmosphere was not right and opened her mouth to calm the atmosphere.

Lin Tingting's expression softened a little, and Jiang Ruanxi smiled, "Sister-in-law, I'm just kidding. I just do a lot of housework, so I know a little bit about it. If you have done things a few times, you will know it too."

"The food is already cold, so we'd better stop talking and eat quickly, otherwise we will disappoint Mrs. Marquis's wishes."

Another sister-in-law from the clan at the same table saw the awkward atmosphere and quickly changed the subject.

Jiang Ruanxi didn't care, he was in a good mood and ate a lot of food.

Lin Tingting originally wanted to make Jiang Ruanxi look bad, but she made it look like she was ignorant. She was so angry that she couldn't stand it any longer after eating a few mouthfuls of food. Her cultivation and reserve were all forgotten, and she left the table angrily.

The female members of the Lin family had nothing to say when they saw this. After the banquet was over, Lin Ningkun was responsible for sending the male members away, while Jiang Ruanxi was busy seeing off the female members of the Lin family.

After finally instructing Hongye to send Sister Lin away safely, before she could take a breath, the eldest maid next to Zhou, Man Yue, came over and called her, "Madam, I ask you to come over."

Jiang Ruanxi's eyes flashed, "I'll go right away."

"Mom, I think she clearly did it on purpose. She deliberately wanted to embarrass me, so she didn't tell me those things in advance. She clearly wanted me to make a fool of myself at the family banquet."

Jiang Ruanxi walked through the corridor and arrived at Zhou's door when he heard Lin Tingting's voice complaining inside.

"Forget it within the clan, but there are many people outside today, including the young masters from the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Shangshu Mansion... It's really too embarrassing. If these people in Kyoto find out, how will I survive in the future? No way. , you have to teach her a lesson and set rules for her so that she doesn’t know the importance at all.”

Man Yue saw Jiang Ruan Xi stop and was about to remind her when she heard Lin Tingting's words.

She looked embarrassed and coughed lightly as a reminder. The sound inside disappeared and she said, "Madam, go in." When Jiang Ruanxi entered, Mrs. Zhou's expression was not very good, "Jiang Ruanxi, what on earth are you doing?" What's going on? Why didn't you remind Tingting when we were eating that you made such a big joke?"

"Mom is right, I was indeed careless and did not remind the third sister of these words." Jiang Ruanxi whispered.

Then he changed his words and looked at Lin Tingting.

"But I didn't expect that the fourth sister usually doesn't care much about these things. How could she suddenly ask about this matter during the banquet today? And I didn't say anything at that time. Who knew that Fourth Young Master Li's words would come out? .

I didn't arrange it carefully enough. I should have put the banquet for the female family members in the backyard, so that even if the third sister said something, the male family members probably wouldn't be able to hear it. "

Speaking of this matter, Zhou also felt a little regretful.

At the beginning, Jiang Ruanxi did say that the women's banquet would be held in the backyard. Mrs. Zhou did not want to listen to Jiang Ruanxi and force Jiang Ruanxi to hold the women's banquet next to the men's.

After learning that Lin Ningkun had invited others to the family banquet, he felt that there was nothing wrong with his arrangement.

But I didn’t expect it to be self-defeating.

In fact, Lin Tingting had already grown her hair, and now she is waiting to be married.

In fact, it's not that no one came to propose marriage, but she was arrogant and looked down on ordinary people.

Originally, he wanted to attract the attention of Young Master Li by criticizing him, but unexpectedly, he showed off his ignorance instead.

Unexpectedly, stealing the chicken will end up losing the rice, Jiang Ruanxi sneered in his heart.

"You are talking nonsense. How can I be afraid that the male family members outside will hear it? Stop talking nonsense here and ruin my reputation." Lin Tingting seemed to have been exposed. She stood up hurriedly and pointed at Jiang Ruanxi's nose and cursed. .

"What are you doing, the third sister, in such a hurry? You are not afraid that the male relatives outside will hear it, so what are you worried about? The people who know today are all members of our family, and I don't think they will say anything nonsense."

Jiang Ruanxi continued with a half-smile, "If the third sister can't trust my sister-in-law and aunt, and I'm afraid they'll talk nonsense outside, I'll come to remind them later and ask them to keep their mouths shut, so as not to ruin the reputation of the third sister. "

The more Jiang Ruan Xi talked, the more angry Lin Tingting became.

Her chest rose and fell in anger.

Jiang Ruan Xi did this on purpose.

If she comes to the door, it means that there is no three hundred taels of silver in this place.

Maybe there was nothing wrong in the first place, but by coming to talk to her, wouldn't she be admitting her ignorance?

Wouldn’t it be true that everyone would know it by then?

"Second sister-in-law, if you are not happy yourself, do you want me to be unhappy too, so that you can be happy?" Lin Tingting said fiercely.

Jiang Ruanxi looked aggrieved, "Third sister, why do you have such vicious thoughts? You are my sister, and I naturally hope that you will have a good life. Isn't it all for your sake that I do this? Are you like this? It won’t work either, that won’t work either, so what do you want me to do?”

"you……"

"Okay." Mrs. Zhou frowned and looked at Lin Tingting, "Your sister-in-law did it unintentionally, so let's forget about it."

"Mother..." Lin Tingting stamped her feet angrily, "How can you help her speak?"
