Who cares about belated family affection? Family members beg for forgiveness

In a power center like the capital.

Various banquets are indispensable.

The young ladies and gentlemen from various mansions need various banquets to expand their social circles and make more meaningful friends.

It is also the best opportunity to climb up.

Every time there is a banquet, as long as there is an opportunity to attend, the elders in the mansion will bring the younger ones along.

This was Lan Kexin's first time attending such a banquet.

He glanced at everyone present, except Mrs. Lan and Lan Weiwei beside him.

She didn't know anyone.

If you don’t know her, then don’t know her. Today she is mainly a foodie.

As for the rest, it has nothing to do with her. Aren’t there Lan Weiwei and Madam Lan standing in front of her?

Her eyes fell on the plum cake on the table.

He reached out to pinch one, but before his hand touched the plum cake, Lan Weiwei raised her hand and patted it.

Lan Kexin turned her head in confusion and looked at Lan Weiwei.

"What are you doing? Are you crazy?"

Lan Weiwei warned in a low voice: "You are the daughter of the Marquis's family. Pay attention to your image. Don't act like the Marquis's family doesn't even give you food to eat. You take everything you see."

This is because you think she is embarrassing!

Lan Kexin smiled: "There are indeed a lot of things in the Marquis' Mansion, but have you let me eat them? Seeing all these delicious things, I'm naturally greedy, isn't that okay?"

Lan Kexin reached out to take the plum cake again.

Lan Weiwei simply stood in front of her.

With a look of disdain on his face, he said, "Take a good look. Who comes here to eat?"

Lan Kexin nodded: "I know, you all come here to set up stalls, so people can pick and choose. Besides, these things are not for people to eat, are they just for people to look at? It's shameful to waste food."

"What is a street vendor?"

"Taste it carefully."

Since Lan Weiwei was blocking her way and not letting her eat the plum cake behind her.

She just won't eat this dish.

There are so many people present, it’s not like there aren’t any.

Lan Kexin glanced and turned her foot forward.

He quickly moved to another table and picked up a piece of plum cake.

He even gestured proudly in front of Lan Weiwei.

It depends on whether she has the courage to come here and continue to stop it?

Lan Weiwei was speechless. How embarrassing!

Lan Kexin stuffed the plum cake into her mouth and savored it carefully.

The royal chef’s cooking skills are really good.

After eating a piece, Lan Kexin continued to reach out for more.

This went on again and again, and the entire plate of plum cakes went into her stomach.

Seeing this, the girls standing around her all covered their mouths and laughed.

"Who is this? How dare they eat so recklessly? They don't care about their image at all."

"Alas, I know who she is. She's the village girl from Marquis Lan's mansion."

"Oh, so it's her. No wonder. She's never seen anything good, let alone eaten. She's really not worthy of being on the table."

"Don't say that. She'll get used to it in the future."

"Oh, Miss Lin, you love to stand up for the weak, but you don't even consider whether others will buy into your argument."

"I'm not trying to be unfair, I'm just telling the truth."

"Are you trying to be different here? She's just a village girl. Can't you see that her own sisters stay away from her?"

Lan Kexin has a very good impression of Miss Lin Xi.

I saw several girls surrounding Miss Lin.

She just shrank her neck and backed away.

There is a table behind her.

If she took another step back, Miss Lin would definitely knock over all the drinks on the table.

The drinks were not free and spilled all over the floor.

Then it will be Miss Lin's fault.

Lan Kexin didn't have time to think about it, so she walked up to Miss Lin, grabbed her hand, and pulled her to her side.

Seeing this, several girls looked as if they understood.

"We were just wondering why you were speaking up for this village girl. So you two are old acquaintances."

Miss Lin was not convinced: "Don't call her a village girl. She is the eldest daughter of the Lan family."

"So what? She grew up in the countryside, isn't she just a country girl?"

Lan Kexin glanced at Miss Lin and said, "It's okay. Don't argue with them. A country girl is a country girl. She won't lose a piece of meat. The more they talk, the more they envy me."

This made the ladies laugh.

"What did you say? We envy you, a country girl. It's really funny."

The person who spoke was Miss Yangmei, the daughter of a doctor in the Ministry of Rites.

Lan Kexin didn't know her.

Miss Lin whispered an introduction into her ear.

"This is Miss Yang from the family of the Minister of Rites. She is very vindictive, so be careful."

"Aren't you just envious of a country girl? Otherwise, when no one else is talking, you're like a little sparrow, chirping non-stop. Where's your upbringing? Don't tell others that you grew up in the capital, or you'll ruin the reputation of a noble lady in the capital."

"you……"

I didn't expect a village girl to have such a powerful mouth.

Miss Yang was so offended that she didn't know how to respond.

No one dared to say more, as saying more would be considered uncultured.

This left seeds of resentment in Yangmei's heart.

Lan Weiwei then stepped forward and bowed half-heartedly to Miss Yang.

With a smile on her face, she said, "Miss Yang, please don't mind. My sister is just straightforward. She says whatever she wants to say. She doesn't have any other intentions."

Yang Mei glared at Lan Weiwei unhappily:

"Isn't that what you call having no other meaning? Think carefully about what she just said."

Lan Weiwei still had a smile on her face: "Miss Yang, what I said is just literal meaning, don't think too much about it, just consider it as giving me face and let it go."

Lan Kexin looked at Lan Weiwei in surprise.

Is it really a gender change?

Do you want to be good sisters with her in the future?

Why is she a little bit unconvinced?

Watching Lan Weiwei speaking, she reached out and took Yangmei's hand, leading her away from the crowd.

Everyone saw this scene and couldn't help but murmur:

"Are the two sisters okay?"

"You don't know yet, do you? The Queen Mother personally summoned them into the palace yesterday and acted as a go-between to reconcile them."

"Ah, I didn't expect the Lan family to have such glory. The empress dowager actually came out to mediate the conflict between the sisters."

"What's so strange about this? Haven't you seen several princes eagerly coming to ask for marriage?"

"The good days ahead are still to come. Keep your eyes open and stand in line."

Lan Kexin ignored the chattering of the crowd.

Instead, he looked at Miss Lin Xilin.

"Miss Lin, are you okay?"

Miss Lin grinned: "I'm fine, what they said can't hurt me."

"It seems that you are also different." Lan Kexin smiled slightly.

After just a few words, the two of them became closer.

Lin Xi has always been by Lan Kexin's side.

Take the initiative to be Lan Kexin's tour guide.

Help her introduce the various delicacies on the table and the relationships between the various characters.

There are also the personalities of the young ladies and young masters of each mansion.

The two finally walked to a relatively remote pavilion and sat down.

The stool isn't warm yet.

Eunuch Yu, who was beside the Queen Mother, came to the door and said, "Miss Lan, the Queen Mother wants to see you."
