After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields Chapter 671

Chapter 671: A one-sided relationship

Mrs. Xiao found Qin Yao's behavior interesting and watched her for a while before coming over to help her.

He took the initiative to hold Old Mrs. Qiu's hand and asked her to help take care of his sister, who had just arrived in the capital.

Qin Yao was able to escape and went to the kitchen to bring out the freshly baked cakes for everyone to taste.

As for Ding Xiang, he and Siniang went somewhere to steal some food. Qin Yao had not seen the two of them since the guests arrived.

Mrs. Xiao looked like she was used to it, and comforted her in turn: "You can't throw away such a big girl. Let them be as little girls as they want. Let's go about our business. When I leave, I will ask the maid to shout and then go back by myself."

Qin Yao was instantly in awe of Mrs. Xiao and gave her a thumbs up. This feeling of relaxation was unlike any other.

Cakes are quite new in the capital. The guests who came were all amazed after eating it.

Old ladies like Mrs. Qiu, who are old and have bad teeth, are full of praise.

Aunt Yu was surprised and said: "I didn't expect that this golden piece of dim sum not only smells fragrant, but also tastes softer and sweeter. When paired with Madam Qin's milk tea soup, it doesn't feel greasy at all. It's really amazing."

Qin Yao smiled and said: "Everyone thinks it's delicious. Eat more. There are some in the kitchen. I'll prepare a portion for everyone. After the dinner is over, I'll take it back for the children to try too."

Everyone was overjoyed, that was great.

Eating cakes and drinking milk tea, the host family and the host family chatted for a while, and the whole afternoon passed like this.

In the afternoon, when the temperature came up, Liu Ji took off his heavy cotton clothes and put on a brand new white snakeskin vest. Together with Mr. Qiu, who had returned from work, he warmly greeted the neighbors who came to the banquet at the door.

When a guest comes, Mr. Qiu first greets him and then introduces him to Liu Ji.

Liu Ji once again greeted the guests with polite words, secretly remembering who these people were, where they worked, whether they were traders or farmers, all in his mind.

He turned around and compiled it into a document and gave it to his wife. She was very happy and promised a big reward!

“Mrs. Wang brings her grandson to the ceremony, ten taels of silver!”

Liu Fei, who came over to help his brother and sister-in-law in the afternoon, suddenly sang and shouted loudly.

As soon as these words came out, the noise in the courtyard suddenly stopped for two seconds, and then the discussion slowly resumed.

The female relatives around Qin Yao also looked at her.

The invitation specifically stated that it was only to thank the neighbors for their care. No gifts were accepted for this banquet, and it was not counted as a favor.

So no one gave any gifts.

Only a few thoughtful people, such as close neighbors like the Qiu family, came to congratulate me with a few dried fruits and meat sticks.

The Wang family's gift of ten taels of silver embarrassed those who didn't give it.

Qin Yao hurriedly explained to everyone, thanked everyone for their kindness, relieved the awkward atmosphere, and went to the front yard to greet them.

Aunt Yu followed her. Her family was a neighbor of the Wang family and the two families were familiar with each other. She helped Qin Yao talk to avoid embarrassment if she didn't recognize the person.

Qin Yao smiled gratefully at Aunt Yu who was following her, and together they came to the Wang family's ancestors and grandsons who were brought over by Liu Fei.

“Dalang Erlang Sanlang!”

Liu Ji shouted in the courtyard, and his three sons who were playing with neighbor children on the martial arts field immediately ran over.

Liu Ji pointed to the ancestors and grandsons of the Wang family, "Go, the young master of Wang Yushi's family, take care of him."

Dalang nodded to show that he knew. The three brothers ran over, took the young master of the Wang family away, and took him out to play.

The child was not very happy. Wang Chengyang, who seemed to be as old as Erlang, frowned and said solemnly, "Grandma, I will accompany you." Mrs. Wang smiled lovingly and waved her hand, "Grandma, you don't need to accompany me, just go and play with them. ”

Wang Chengyang looked at the three Dalang brothers warily and saw them smiling, so he reluctantly followed them out.

“Mrs. Wang, please sit inside.” Qin Yao smiled politely.

Mrs. Wang is called Lao Madam, but she is actually not that old. She seems to be more energetic than Mrs. Qiu. She is about forty-five and not old enough to need help.

However, her legs and feet were not very good, and she was leaning on crutches. With the support of Aunt Yu and the accompanying maid, they came to the flower hall together.

Everyone who was still chatting stood up to greet him. After all, the Wang family and the Qi family had the highest official positions in Kuanzhengfang.

Mrs. Wang smiled and motioned for everyone to sit down, "I have been an old neighbor for more than ten years. Why are you so polite to me? Sit down quickly."

But everyone still waited for her to sit down before sitting down again.

Qin Yao brought tea and snacks, "Please have some tea."

She doesn't say any polite words, she just has a sincere smile, which makes people feel that she sincerely welcomes guests.

Mrs. Wang nodded and motioned for her to sit down too.

When Aunt Yu saw the snacks, she couldn't help but praise, "Old madam, try Mrs. Qin's snacks. I guarantee you have never tasted such fragrant and soft cakes!"

As soon as the snacks were served, Mrs. Wang smelled a strong sweet aroma. Now that everyone was so supportive, she took a spoonful of it with the spoon Qin Yao handed her and put it into her mouth with some anticipation.

Before she could do anything, others asked hurriedly: "How is it? Is it soft and sweet, and melts in your mouth?"

Mrs. Wang's eyes slowly lit up, and she nodded slowly, as if she had just reacted to the delicious food, and nodded repeatedly.

"It's really good. What is this snack made of? I haven't tasted the same in all these years in the capital. Madam Qin is so skillful~"

Qin Yao didn't dare to assume this skill, and explained: "It's not really me who made it, it was all thanks to my former cook. I just said a few words casually, but she actually made this chicken cake."

“Chicken cake?” Mrs. Wang asked with a smile, “Is it made of eggs?”

As she spoke, she took another spoonful and put it into her mouth. The aroma was so delicious that she became confused. She squinted her eyes slightly and swallowed the cake completely before saying regretfully:

"My Jin'er doesn't have that kind of food anymore, and he just happened to be on inspection in Qingzhou. Otherwise, why don't we book a dollar and two today to come and try this delicious snack from Madam Qin's house."

Qin Yao felt that the word Jin was a bit familiar, and then thought about Mrs. Wang's husband's surname Wang. Together, it means Wang Jin?

It can't be such a coincidence. Qin Yao was secretly surprised.

To confirm, I followed Mrs. Wang's words and asked, "The person mentioned by the old lady is not the Censor Wang Jin, right?"

As soon as these words came out, all the neighbors in the hall looked at Qin Yao in surprise.

Aunt Yu asked curiously: "Ms. Qin, do you know Mr. Wang?"

Mrs. Qiu also said: "It's Mr. Wang. Your family comes from Zijin Mansion, how do you know Mr. Wang?"

Mrs. Wang's reaction was not bad. After all, they lived in the same house, and what Qin Yao found out about her was normal.

But looking at her expression, she seemed to know her.

“I have seen you before, and we had a chance encounter when your Excellency was inspecting the Zijin Mansion.” Qin Yao waved her hand, as if we were not familiar with each other.

Mrs. Wang did think it was not that simple, but seeing that Qin Yao didn't want to say more, she didn't continue to ask, and just said: "Then our two families are really destined."

I secretly planned to wait until my son came back and ask more questions.
