The wind is gentle and the fun is endless

After coming out of Jingyuan, he walked slowly towards Xinyuan with a sore waist and weak knees, feeling drowsy. Turning the last bend of the path, he saw Xu Qu, Youcheng and Xiaoyu standing at the gate of Xinyuan waiting for him from afar.

As soon as they saw Huanhuan, Xu Qu and the other two hurried over. Xiaoyu quickly stepped forward and took Huanhuan's arm to support him. Xu Qu asked with concern, "Is Madam okay?"

She smiled slowly at Xu Qu and said, "Don't worry, my husband. It's only been an hour. You just need to rest for a while. Didn't my husband have to go out to do something an hour ago? Go quickly and don't miss anything."

Xu Qu asked Xiaoyu to take good care of Huanhuan, and then he went out with Youcheng.

After Xu Qu and Youcheng left, Xiaoyu helped him slowly go back to the house to rest. After slowly sitting down, he found that Xiaoyu was secretly wiping tears, so he pretended to be surprised and said, "Hey, Xiaoyu, what's wrong with you? Did anyone embarrass you?"

Xiaoyu sobbed after hearing what Xiaohuan said, and said intermittently: "Miss, I feel sorry for you."

He slowly took Xiaoyu's hand and motioned her to sit down next to him, and said, "I was the one who was punished. I didn't cry, why are you crying?"

Xiaoyu slowly stopped sobbing and said to Huanhuan: "Miss, in all these years, whether in your maternal grandparents' home or your mother's home, when have you ever been treated like this! This wealthy family is full of troubles."

He smiled slowly and said, "It's too late to say that now. We have already entered this wealthy family."

After hearing this, Xiaoyu pouted and said nothing.

Huanhuan said with a serious expression, "Well, to be honest, when I first got married and learned that Madam Xie was my stepmother, I was very worried for a while. But later, when we got along, I found that this stepmother-in-law was very generous and sensible, and easy to get along with. I was very lucky. Who knew that now there would be a strict aunt, it really caught me off guard..."

As he said this slowly, he fell into deep thought. Xiaoyu continued, "That's right, Miss, you were helping your son-in-law to swat a mosquito, not really hitting him. Your son-in-law didn't say anything, and even your mother-in-law didn't say anything, but she, an aunt, got excited!"

Slowly coming back to his senses, he smiled mischievously and said, "Xiaoyu, let's go home, back to the Feng family!"

After hearing this, Xiaoyu frowned, pouted her lips, and her cheeks puffed up, unable to speak.

Seeing her like this, Huan Huan stopped teasing her and said, "Good Xiaoyu, when have I ever backed down? We can only make the best of it now."

Xiaoyu was disappointed after hearing this and asked, "Miss, how can we 'make peace'?"

"Of course, you have to respect your elders and treat her well. Of course, you have to be humble and submissive, and you may also be a little clever. Anyway, Xiaoyu, you have to be smart and cooperate with me."

Xiaoyu listened and nodded seriously.

Although Huanhuan spoke lightly, she was actually very unsure. She had no idea how to deal with her aunt. After thinking it over, she felt that she still needed to find someone to help.

The first person Huanhuan thought of was Xiangyue, so after a short rest, she set off for Xiangyue's yard.

When Huanhuan entered Xiangyue's yard, Xiangyue was arranging flowers in front of the window. Seeing Huanhuan coming through the open window, she put the branches and tools in her hands on the table and went out to greet Huanhuan.

"Sister-in-law!" Xiangyue called Huanhuan, and at the same time, with a bit of sympathy, she carefully stepped forward and stretched out her hand to hold Huanhuan, and did not let go until she helped Huanhuan to a seat inside the house.

Xiangyue had already heard about Huanhuan being punished by standing in the corner. Although she knew that her aunt was always domineering and strict, it was still a bit unexpected for Xiangyue that she would punish her niece-in-law so quickly when she met her for the first time.

After Xiangyue and Huanhuan both sat down, Xiangyue looked at Huanhuan with concern. Seeing Xiangyue's eyes, Huanhuan guessed that Xiangyue must have heard about the rule that she was punished to stand, and she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed and at a loss.

So he found a random topic to chat with Xiangyue: "Sister is arranging flowers?"

Xiangyue replied, "Yes, sister-in-law."

Then he asked slowly, "Sister seems to like flower arrangement very much? I remember seeing her arranging flowers in the house before."

Xiangyue said casually: "It's just a little hobby when I have nothing to do."

He smiled slowly and said, "Sister, this hobby of yours is very elegant. I know nothing about flower arrangement. I will ask you for advice someday."

Xiangyue quickly said, "Why do you want to ask for advice, sister-in-law? One day when sister-in-law is free, Xiangyue would like to discuss some tips on flower arrangement with sister-in-law."

She smiled slowly and said, "Sister Xiangyin is good at sewing, and sister Xiangyue is good at flower arrangement. Everyone has a hobby, and I am a little envious. Alas, speaking of which, I haven't seen sister Xiangyin much these days."

Xiangyue blinked and said, "She now personally makes nourishing soup every day and sends it to Brother Xie Shen. She is very busy!"

"I see." He nodded slowly, paused for a moment, and then said with a smile, "Sister, I'm sure you've heard about how my aunt punished me today." Seeing Xiangyue nodded, he continued with a hint of hesitation, "Sister... do you know... what my aunt likes?"

Xiangyue understood a little about Huanhuan's purpose after hearing this. She bit her lip lightly and tilted her head to think carefully. As she thought, she said in deep thought: "This... my aunt has a wide range of hobbies. I remember that she is quite knowledgeable about pearls and jade, loves the tea ceremony, and also loves beautiful clothes. On weekdays, when she is not attending any grand occasions, she also pays attention to dressing up and puts on exquisite makeup."

Huanhuan listened to Xiangyue's words and said, "No wonder I saw my aunt dressed very formally and put on makeup at her own home. I thought she was like that because she was a guest at Xu's house, but it turns out that's not the case."

Xiangyue said, "Yes, that's because my aunt is like that. Not only herself, but also the people around her can't stand to see them dressed inappropriately. For example, the clothes worn by the servants in their Duke's Mansion are all purchased from Yongshengfang. In Yongshengfang, no other shop chooses better quality clothes for servants than theirs. I also heard that the servants in their mansion will be punished if they are not dressed properly, and they are not even allowed to put a patch on their clothes."

"So strict!" Huanhuan sighed, then Huanhuan stayed for a while and chatted with Xiangyue about some family matters, and soon said goodbye and went back to Xinyuan.

After returning to the letter garden, Huanhuan, who felt that he had gained something, repeatedly pondered over the information provided by Xiangyue. When he thought of his aunt's love of dressing up and putting on makeup, his eyes lit up and he said to Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu! Where did we put the rouge we brought back from Heyang last time?"

Xiaoyu was surprised to hear this and said, "Miss, why did you suddenly think of this? Don't worry, I put the rouge in my room, it's well hidden, it won't be discovered."

Huanhuan hurriedly said: "Quick, go find it and show it to me."
