Chapter 216 1
It’s better to stop while you’re ahead, getting the money is important.
Shen Hongtai ordered: "Go get the banknotes for Miss Yun."
Siyu immediately nodded and retreated.
Yunli then returned to Jiang's side and sat down with satisfaction. Jiang smiled so hard that her teeth were showing and hugged Yunli in her arms, "My dear, your little appearance is really adorable!"
During this period, the maid had already placed the cake in front of each master, waiting for Jiang and Shen Hongtai to eat their cakes before everyone else could have a taste.
Yunli quickly picked up the plate of cake on the table, scooped out a small piece and handed it to Jiang's mouth, "Grandma, try it! It's delicious!"
Jiang smiled and put it in his mouth. After chewing it for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up!
The texture is dense and melts in your mouth, and this dessert is not difficult to chew at all!
It has just the right sweetness, and a hint of saltiness when you chew it carefully, so it doesn’t feel greasy at all!
"This tastes great! It's a big portion for 1,000 taels, Yunji is selling it at a bargain!"
Jiang finished the bite and commented with a smile.
Which of the top-quality pastries in the capital city doesn’t cost dozens of taels of silver for a small portion?
She just took a look and found that this large portion of dessert could be divided into 36 pieces, each of which was quite large. The most important thing was that this dessert was indeed as Qingyun said, the most delicious she had ever tasted!
"Everyone, come and have a try!" After Jiang had finished inviting them, she took a bite from Yunli's hand, then patted Yunli to signal him to eat by himself.
Yuanxiang was also a very perceptive girl. She quickly came over to apologize, took the small plate from Yunli's hand and fed it to Jiang.
Yunli glanced around and saw that everyone, including Shen Qingheng and Xu who were against her, had started eating. Then she lowered her eyes and started eating her own food calmly.
If you want to gain a foothold in the Shen Mansion, being aggrieved, gentle, and obedient are not acceptable.
Some people in the Shen family are just cheapskates. They need to be beaten with a stick and then given a sweet treat.
So, these people couldn't afford to offend her, so they started to keep quiet.
She had no intention of winning over these useless people from the second house, but after observing the second son of the first house and the fourth son of the third house, she thought she could try to make contact with them.
Use it if you can, and don't force it if you can't.
Anyway, this cheap father and cheap uncle and third uncle don’t seem to be too stupid.
Thinking of this, Yunli couldn't help but start looking at Jiang again.
The sons raised by this grandmother were not necessarily stupid, so why did the grandson become like this?
Thinking of this, she turned to look at Xu again.
Come to think of it, are it really only the Xu family's children who are particularly mentally retarded?
The three sons of the second wife are ranked the eldest, fifth and seventh in the mansion, which is really strange.
It seems that the previous generation of the Shen family also had some muddy waters in their affairs.
I just don't know if it has anything to do with the hunt for me?
While thinking about something, Yunli inadvertently turned his head and glanced at the scenery outside the window, but he couldn't help frowning.
Why does the figure walking towards us from a distance look so much like Xiao Feiyu? !
Didn’t he go after Sister Yu?
People were coming down the stairs very quickly. While Yunli was thinking, Xiao Feiyu had already reached the third floor.
Xiao Feiyu smiled and bowed to everyone, saying, "I came here uninvited, please forgive me, Grandpa Shen!"
"Fei Yu, you've arrived just in time! We are tasting the new dim sum at Yun Ji Restaurant. You should try one too!"
When Shen Hongtai saw Xiao Feiyu, he was very happy and quickly waved his hand to ask Nianyu to present a piece of cake to Xiao Feiyu.
Xiao Feiyu sat down first, thanked Shen Hongtai, took a bite of the cake, and praised, "It really tastes good! Grandpa Shen has a good taste!"
"How could I buy it? My granddaughter bought it to honor her grandmother, hahaha!"
Shen Hongtai smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into slits. He waved his hand, giving all the credit to the younger generation.
"Oh? Is this the sister Shen who was recently brought home?"
When Xiao Feiyu heard this, he naturally changed the topic to Yunli, looking at her with a curious look, "Is this Miss Shen?"
"Yes! Feiyu, just call her sister Qingyun just like you called Qingzhu! Qingyun, come and meet your brother from the Xiao family!"
Shen Hongtai waved at Yunli, motioning her to come over.
Jiang originally felt that something was not right, but when she looked at Xiao Feiyu's face, she felt that if Lord Xiao took a fancy to Qingyun and asked to marry her, it would not be a bad idea.
As the saying goes, if one family has a daughter, hundreds of families will seek her out.
Before, there was only one girl in the family, Qingzhu. His Majesty was interested in Qingzhu, but Qingzhu only loved the boy from the Liu family, and even went to Wenshan Academy to follow him. This young Marquis Xiao also fell in love with Qingzhu and followed her to Wenshan Academy.
The relationships here are simply complicated and confusing.
The Shen family does not want to marry into the family of His Majesty.
Your Majesty does not have the ability to protect herself. To put it bluntly, you are just a puppet supported by the aristocratic families. In this case, who would be willing to be the queen?
Qingzhu and the boy from the Liu family have been childhood sweethearts, so their marriage is a foregone conclusion. However, Qingyun, who was brought in from outside, is one level lower than someone who was raised at home. Aristocratic families may not necessarily want a daughter-in-law from the countryside, and it is not easy to find a suitable match from a poor family or a newly rich family.
It’s the Xiao family!
The Xiao family is known for its loyal and brave people, Feiyu is a scholar, and has the title of Marquis. There are no parents-in-law in the Xiao family, and once Qingyun marries, she will not only have an imperial decree, but also be able to be the head of the family, which is really the best.
Qingyun is much more beautiful than Qingzhu! If Xiao Feiyu falls in love with Qingyun, it would be a good marriage.
Thinking of this, Jiang couldn't help but warm up a little. She pushed Yunli and said, "The Xiao family and our Shen family are old friends. Your brother from the Xiao family is not an outsider either. Just go and pay your respects!"
Jiang had said so, Yunli had no choice but to walk over and say, "Brother Xiao is well."
Xiao Feiyu took the opportunity to look at her openly and said curiously, "I just felt that Miss Shen looked familiar. It turns out that I have really seen her before!"
"Have you seen me?"
Yunli frowned and asked in confusion.
She didn't believe a word Xiao Feiyu said. She didn't know how this guy was going to cheat her.
"Since we have met before, it is fate! But where did Feiyu meet your sister Qingyun?"
Shen Hongtai laughed twice and joked.
"It was the day before yesterday. I was on my way back to Kyoto day and night when I met an assassin who wanted to kill me. But he failed and ran west. He looked very similar to Sister Qingyun."
When Xiao Feiyu said this, everyone present changed their expressions.
All eyes of surprise and suspicion turned to Yunli.
"The day before yesterday? Qingyun has been in Beijing these days and hasn't been out!"
Shen Xiuyang was the first to react and retorted.
What a joke! How could Shen Xiuyang's daughter be called an assassin?
"Don't be impatient, Uncle Shen. I haven't finished speaking yet."
Xiao Feiyu smiled and stopped playing dumb. "Although the assassin looks a lot like Sister Qingyun, the resemblance is only about 70%. On the other hand, he looks 100% like Aunt Shen."
