Chapter 65 Because of Xia Jin, Everything Is Different
"Xia Jin, you are so brave!" Qu Linglong screamed, the ladylike image she had just maintained completely gone.
"Miss Qu praised me. Actually, I am very timid. I am afraid of caterpillars as well as grasshoppers. How can I be as bold as Miss Qu? At the old lady's birthday party, I acted like a shrew, looking for people to scold me with my hands on my hips.
Fight." Xia Jin looked modest.
"You!" Qu Linglong was so angry that her lips trembled and her eyes turned red.
"This is grandma's banquet. I, the general, will not allow anyone to cause trouble. Miss Qu, please sit back in your seat!" Lin Ziyi said coldly.
Seeing that Lin Ziyi had said this, Qu Linglong stamped her feet and had to return to her seat reluctantly.
Lin Ziyi picked up the wine glass, covered up the smile on his lips, and said to himself, this girl has a very strong mouth, she can fight well!
He had long disliked Qu Linglong, but because of the old lady's liking and Prime Minister Qu's reputation, he followed her freely in and out of the general's mansion.
Turning to look at Xia Jin, Lin Ziyi's eyes softened.
Xia Jin and Qu Linglong were so angry that their cheeks turned red, while she tasted the snacks on the plate as if nothing happened.
The corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, and his eyes were full of doting that he didn't even notice.
And this look happened to be caught by Mrs. Sun!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. When she saw many ladies and ladies starting to give gifts, she then looked at Xia Jin who was sitting there eating snacks and gritted her teeth and said:
"Miss Xia, everyone has given gifts, what have you prepared for the old lady?"
For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Xia Jin again.
Xia Jin was eating snacks. Seeing everyone looking at her, Xia Jin swallowed the snacks and said, "My gift has been given to the old lady!"
Qu Linglong looked sarcastic.
"Why didn't I see this?"
Seeing Qu Linglong's aggressive behavior, the old lady frowned.
"Jin'er gave me a gift as soon as she walked in!"
The old lady picked up a transparent glass bottle, which was full of orange peel mints wrapped in colored paper.
When Xia Jin came in, the old lady coughed, so she grabbed a handful of mints and put the bottle on the old lady's desk.
The old lady liked it very much, so she carefully put it in the box at the back.
But now that Qu Linglong was so aggressive, the old lady had no choice but to take it out, and her body ached at the same time.
"A glass bottle containing some candies, what kind of gift is it?" Qu Linglong said calmly.
"It's true that we can't get on the stage, so we have to send our children away." Some ladies also joined in.
"The candies sold by street vendors cost less than one tael in a small jar. What can these candies be worth? Could it be that they have deceived the old lady like a child?"
Seeing that people around him were talking and even slandering Xia Jin, the old lady said unconvinced:
"Let me try it, ladies, how delicious this candy is!"
These words contained an element of anger.
In her eyes, those silks and satins that can be bought for a little money, and some expensive pills that are of no practical use are not as good as the orange peel mints given by Xia Jin!
This candy is not only delicious, but it also relieves her cough symptoms, which is more effective than the medicines she takes.
Old lady, I cherish you very much!
Even when Mrs. Sun looked at it eagerly, she was not willing to give her one.
But now that the words have been spoken, there is no point in regretting them.
The old lady could only ask Sun to open the bottle cap and give one to each of them.
Seeing that the candy in the bottle was getting less and less, the old lady swallowed hard and screamed in her heart: give less, give less, leave more for me!
Seeing that all the candies in the jar had been distributed, the old lady slumped down on the chair in pain and her heart was bleeding!
Lin Ziyi also got a candy. The candy was wrapped with a layer of oil paper. On the outer layer of the oil paper were painted yellow faces, some sticking out their tongues, some blinking, which made him happy just looking at it.
Opening the package, there was a crystal clear candy inside, slightly orange-yellow, looking like amber and freshly burned glass.
When you put it in your mouth, the first thing you taste is the bitterness of orange peel, then a touch of coolness, and then the sweetness fills your mouth. After swallowing, your whole nose and throat feel like they have been ventilated, and there is a rush of gas.
Catch a cold.
"This candy is so delicious!" a lady exclaimed!
"This is the first time I've eaten this in my life. What kind of candy is this?"
"I feel that my throat feels so comfortable and my nose is ventilated!"
Everyone was talking to each other, and finally their eyes fell on Xia Jin.
From disdain before to desire now.
"Ms. Xia, do you have any candies there?"
When the old lady saw this, she snorted and said, "Now, you have nothing to say! How could the gift from Jin'er be so bad!"
Seeing the old lady turning her head away angrily, it really hurts her!
Old and young, old and young, the older and younger the old lady became, the old lady lost her temper like a little girl who had been robbed of candy.
However, Xia Jin could feel that the old lady was kind to her, and she would not let the old lady suffer.
Xia Jin stood up, walked to the old lady, and conjured another jar of candies like a magic trick.
"I wish the old lady good luck and good luck, always smile, and may your life be sweeter than this honey~"
The old lady took the candy bottle from Xia Jin with both hands, smiled crookedly, and couldn't close the corners of her mouth no matter how hard she closed them.
"Okay, okay!" She said three good words in a row.
Everyone who had tasted the candy looked at the candy jar in the old lady's hand, which was hidden in the box next to the seat as if she were protecting her food.
"Old lady, can you give me another one?" an old minister said shamelessly.
His throat has been coughing up phlegm all year round, and he can't swallow it or cough it out. But he just ate a candy and it miraculously cleared up!
That’s why I shamelessly asked for it!
The old lady looked at him warily, covering the box as if she were protecting a calf.
"This is Jin'er's birthday gift to me. Didn't you look down on it just now? Why have you changed your attitude now?"
The old minister was embarrassed when he said this, but remembering that his wife had just joined the team that belittled Xia Jin, he couldn't say anything again.
The old lady is a straight-tempered person, whatever she says, her preferences are all reflected on her face.
She felt so comfortable now that she couldn't stop smiling. If you looked carefully, you could still see the smug look on her eyebrows.
Lin Ziyi looked at the old lady's appearance and felt relieved.
Ever since his father passed away, the old lady with white hair gave birth to a black-haired girl, and the old lady has been depressed and frightened.
He was away on an expedition, so the old lady burned incense and worshiped Buddha all day long, praying for peace, and was in fear all day long.
But now, everything seems to be different!
He seemed to be able to see that the dark clouds covering the general's mansion seemed to have been opened through a gap, and a ray of light was shining down through the gap.
And all this is because of Xia Jin's arrival.
Turning to look at Xia Jin, I saw that she was still eating snacks heartlessly.
Her candy has conquered her, and she doesn't care about these ministers who are quarrelsome and deceitful in the court.
At this moment, the sound of announcement came.
"The Imperial Master has arrived~"
"The Eighth Prince has arrived~" This chapter has been completed!
