Wealth and glory seek stability

Baili Yanchen's eldest son, Baili Rongxuan, stood behind his elders with eager eyes, watching the woman he once loved suddenly become his aunt.

e(┬┬﹏┬┬)3

Is there anyone in the world who could be more miserable than him?

It was not easy to say it in front of his elders, so Baili Rongxuan could only suppress the thousands of emotions in his heart.

Baili Yanhua spoke at the right time, "General Shen sent a visiting card, saying that he will come to the palace to visit his mother early tomorrow morning and take his sister back to the general's palace."

Xia waved her hand and said, "That's perfect. Let's hold a family banquet today to celebrate Hua Ge'er's triumphant return. I have never had a daughter in my life, but now I have a lovely daughter. The whole family should celebrate. Today is a happy day. Everyone in the family will be rewarded with one month's salary."

Upon hearing this, the maids and servants in the room knelt down and said, "Thank you, Madam, for the reward."

Jian Xi's mind was busy calculating.

She is truly worthy of being the richest woman in the palace.

This person's wealth is really huge. It's not just the Yulan Courtyard, it's the entire palace! All in all, it must be several hundred taels of silver.

In just one sentence, nearly one thousand taels of silver were gone.

Wow, when will she be able to reach this level?!

The palace kitchen is busy all day long. The family banquet not only needs to have rich dishes, but also needs to take into account the tastes of each master.

The news that Jian Xi was adopted as Xia's daughter had been circulating for a long time.

Many people were jealous of Jian Xi's luck.

"You said this person is really infuriating. We may have to find a servant to marry in the palace in the future. He suddenly becomes the master."

"That's right. He worked with me before. I have to greet him when I meet him in the future."

"I heard that the Second Madam gave Jian Xi a shop as a gift during the wedding ceremony today. It's a shop on the back street of the palace. I may not be able to afford such a shop even if I work for a lifetime."

"How could she be so lucky? Her brother was also a slave, but he followed the Third Master in the army for a few years, made meritorious service, and became a second-rank general. Our Second Master is already in his thirties, and he is only a fourth-rank official."

"Who knows, she might become a phoenix in the future. It's a pity that I didn't try to curry favor with her before, otherwise the semen leaking from her fingers would be enough for me to eat for the rest of my life."

Jian Xi knew that in the eyes of some people, even if she had turned over a new leaf, there would definitely be rumors. However, she didn't care. She just wanted to live a good life. As long as the limelight passed, no one would care.

She didn't expect her cheap brother to be so helpful!

In the past, I only heard Shen Nanxing say that the general in the army said he had talent, and I thought he was just trying to comfort her, but it turned out to be true.

A series of events showed that she was benefiting from Shen Nanxing's help.

According to the original plan, she would be able to leave home next year.

Lei Zi's shop has an annual income of tens of thousands of taels, and has opened two branches in the past two years. As soon as she leaves home, he can officially expand his business territory.

Now it's one year earlier, which is not bad. Her most important task in the palace these years is to take care of her body. She eats whatever is nutritious. Besides, she has money, so two glasses of milk every day are a must.

He was already 1.6 meters tall at the age of 14, which was much better than his previous life when he was only 1.6 meters tall after he became an adult.

In her previous life, she did not receive enough nutrition during her growth period, so her short stature has always been a concern for her.

What is even more incredible is that the longer she stayed in the Xuanyuan Dynasty, the more her memories of her past life gradually faded.

She knew in her memory that she was not from this era, but as time went by, some memories of her past life began to blur.

She didn't know why this happened, so she asked the doctor, who said she was healthier than the average person and had nothing wrong with her.

She couldn't figure it out so she stopped thinking about it. She also had no intention of writing down things about her past life on paper. She just let things take their course. It would be no joke if someone found out.

Maybe you will be mistaken for a monster and burned to death.

The golden autumn season is a good time to appreciate chrysanthemums.

There were many precious chrysanthemums in Xia's yard. Because there were so many people, they set up four or five banquet tables in the yard.

In addition to the direct masters of the palace, the old mother who had served Xia, the wet nurse of Baili Yanchen and others, and respectable maids such as Qiangwei, Chuntao, Jixiang, etc. were also fortunate enough to sit at the small seats below.

In large families that pay attention to etiquette, the elderly mothers who have served the elderly are more respectable than the young masters.

Men and women sat separately, and a stage had already been set up in the Magnolia Courtyard.

Xia wanted everyone to eat crabs and appreciate chrysanthemums together, so she put on a small play.

An incense table was placed at the door, and the family banquet began as firecrackers rang out.

Crabs are essential.

With the exquisite crab dishes at hand, Jian Xi skillfully picked up the scissors to cut the crab, eat the crab meat and pick out the crab roe.

She remembered that there were not so many requirements when eating crabs in the past. She would always chew them with her mouth until her mouth was full of oil. She also always felt that some people used complicated utensils to show off, which ruined the delicious taste of the crabs.

Now I am very familiar with cooking the eight crab pieces. It is true that existence is reasonable. When you eat too much good food, you will naturally become picky about the utensils.

Twelve-year-old Baili Huanyan sat beside Jian Xi, looking at her extra aunt with curiosity, "Aunt, you are so beautiful."

Jian Xi turned her head and smiled sweetly, "Huan Yan is also very pretty. She will be prettier than me when she grows up."

Baili Huanyan blinked her big eyes, her long eyelashes like a small fan, "Really? Then how can I grow up?"

Jian Xi was struck by the cute creature.

"Of course it's true. As long as you eat well every day, you will grow up quickly."

"But I heard from Xiang'er that women can't eat too much or they'll get fat."

"No, you're still young. It's okay to eat more. You'll get thinner as you grow taller."

The Xuanyuan Dynasty emphasized gracefulness as the beauty of women, and the first requirement was that they had to be thin.

I really don't know which bastard invented this perverted aesthetic.

There are very few tall women on the street. Since childhood, women have been told by people around them that they must eat less, so that they can lose weight and look more delicate.

Jian Xi doesn't care, she must grow tall, and being happy is the most important thing.

Baili Huanyan may have heard it, and she usually could only eat a few mouthfuls of rice, but today she ate more than half a bowl.

The men had already started drinking and it was quite lively.
