Porridge, cakes, barbecue, cheese, pancakes, and all kinds of exquisite dishes were spread out on a large table.
Seeing these strange foods, Song Liyun's eyes widened: It's been a long time since they've been delivered, and there are so many things when they arrive. I won't be able to eat them all even if I'm hungry for three days!
She was about to find someone to ask, when she saw Aunt Li Pingping Tingting approaching. She was as graceful as before, but she was dressed plainly, without makeup, looking a little haggard, and she didn't have two picking girls with her.
When she saw Song Liyun, she showed an apologetic smile: "How did Miss Song sleep well last night? It was because of the slave's family. In the past, the wife was in charge of the middle class. The slave only served the adults and neglected Anhuayuan, which made the girl suffer.
He was frightened and reprimanded by my master, and even sold the slave as a fine... Girl, can you forgive me?"
Song Liyun looked at the food on the table, and then at Aunt Li who was clearly blocking her, and raised her eyebrows: To act like this just for a pardon, and to beg for it while hungry, the women in the house are really capable of it!
She smiled faintly: "There is no need to apologize, Aunt Li. The chaos of the war the night before was inevitably negligent. Besides, Aunt Li has made great contributions. She should ask for a reward from the garrison! Do you think it is Aunt Li?"
Aunt Li looked embarrassed. What Song Liyun said seemed reasonable, but how dare she ask for it.
Zhao Tinglei was so angry that he almost kicked her over. Moreover, he was so busy these past two days that he had no time to look for him.
Song Liyun saw her face turned pale and knew that she had not passed Zhao Tinglei's test yet.
She didn't care about the quarrel between the couple, eating was the most important thing, so she walked past Aunt Li and came to the table. Just as she was about to sit down, she was stopped by Aunt Li: "Miss Song, we have to wait a little longer!"
"Still waiting? Aunt Li, what do you want to do?"
Song Liyun's eyebrows suddenly stood up. He didn't deliver it at first, but now he can only see if it is being used to make fun of himself because he doesn't want to care about it!
Aunt Li shook her head hurriedly: "No, it's adults. They are coming over immediately. These dinner plates cannot be touched.
Miss Song, these maids will laugh at you if they see you."
Song Liyun then remembered that the little girl had said that Zhao Tinglei was coming over for dinner. She frowned and muttered: "It's really troublesome. People are starving to death in Hecheng!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of salutes and greetings from the maids came from outside the door: "Your Excellency!" "Third Young Master!" "Young Master Song" and "Young Master Lin"
There were a lot of footsteps again, obviously there were a lot of people coming.
At this time, Aunt Li had deftly opened the curtain by the door. Only Song Liyun, who didn't know anything, stood at the table, looking stupidly at the group of people swarming in.
The first time he saw Song Liyun, Zhao Tinglei's face darkened, and Zhao Tingduo was stunned.
Lin Qingyuan raised his eyebrows and laughed out loud: "Oh, what did I see today! The pastries in the defense mansion are so delicious that we, Miss Song, all started to steal them!"
Song Dekui shook his head and sighed: "Xiaoyun, even if you want to eat, just wait for a while, you are so greedy!"
Song Liyun's eyes lit up when he saw the sudden appearance of Zhao Tingduo, but he covered his mouth and started coughing. He couldn't speak and could only stare.
Zhao Tingduo couldn't help but laugh, and walked quickly to Song Liyun with a smile on his face. While helping her back, he brought the milk tea on the table: "Eat slowly and take a sip of tea!"
Song Liyun was already choked at this time. He took the milk tea without saying anything and took a sip before swallowing the shortbread in his mouth: "Oh, you almost choked me to death!"
She was very hungry just now, so when she saw Aunt Li walking to the door, she quickly picked up a piece of cake from the plate and stuffed it into her mouth.
Unexpectedly, not only Zhao Tinglei and Lin Qingyuan, but also Zhao Tingduo came in. I felt anxious and choked up.
Zhao Tinglei did not look at Song Liyun, but just pulled Zhao Tingduo to sit down at the dining table and said, "Third brother is returning home at night. I should have a good meal. It's just that I have been busy with official duties recently, so I can only have a simple meal with you."
Zhao Tingduo glanced at Song Liyun. At this time, in full view of everyone, he could only hold back all his concern.
"Brother has official duties, so you're welcome, just have something to eat..."
Zhao Tinglei raised his hand to stop him and said: "Hey! Eat quickly, there are people waiting outside." After that, he motioned to Lin Qingyuan and Song Dekui to sit down next to him.
Aunt Li thrust a copper pot into the hands of Song Liyun, who had just taken a breath: "Miss Song, pour some tea for the gentlemen!"
Song Liyun looked at her as if she were a monster, which made Aunt Li feel a little scared in her heart: "Miss Song, please pour the tea! I didn't see that several young masters are looking at you. Don't embarrass the third young master!"
"Look at me?" Song Liyun suddenly understood and chuckled: "Aunt Li, you still do this to me, it's really funny!"
She turned to look at Lin Qingyuan who was closest to her: "Mr. Lin, do you want me to pour you tea?"
Lin Qingyuan waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no!"
He sat next to Zhao Tingduo and asked Song Liyun to stand beside him and pour him tea and wine... Forget it, he still wanted to live a few more days.
Song Liyun stuffed the copper pot into Lin Qingyuan's arms: "Give me a place, I want to eat too!"
Lin Qingyuan jumped up as if his butt was on fire: "Sit down!"
Song Liyun sat down at Lin Qingyuan's seat without hesitation.
Next to them, Zhao Tinglei and Zhao Tingduo had stopped talking and both looked over.
Zhao Tingduo's face was a little dark, and he pulled Song Liyun and said, "You haven't eaten yet?"
Song Liyun took a piece of vegetable, took a bite and then said slowly: "Do you know why you saw me eating when you came in just now? That's because I was hungry.
I have been hungry since I went to bed last night. I have eaten two plates of snacks in the morning and I am almost starving to death.
Now I have to stand and pour tea for you guys!"
She looked at Zhao Tinglei: "Master Guards, you starve people to death and have to wait on them. You eat and I watch, you sit and I stand. Is this the rule of hospitality in your Guards Mansion?"
Lin Qingyuan stood aside holding the teapot, looking at Aunt Li in shock.
He was used to seeing his aunt scheming with his wife, but he had never seen her scheming with his sister-in-law, and it was in a place like this.
Tsk tsk tsk! The general’s women are indeed different, at least they are not afraid of death.
Song Dekui wrinkled his face, pursed his lips tightly and hesitated to speak, but finally said: "Xiaoyun, you have been hungry like this until now? Do you still want to set rules?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Tinglei slapped his chopsticks: "Li Yuniang, didn't you bring morning tea to this courtyard?"
He didn't dare to let Song Dekui continue to talk about setting rules for eating. That was the job of the concubine!
The scene where Zhao Tingduo served Song Liyun tea just now made him know that the relationship between the two was an extraordinary unmarried couple.
It was almost noon now. He and his third brother were discussing matters in the study just now. He had said in advance that he would have dinner here at noon so that he had to prepare early.
If the third brother knew that the woman in the inner house was trying to tease Song Liyun in this way, and told Mrs. Wu Ya, I don't know what trouble would happen.
Aunt Li was already shocked by Song Liyun's words.
Song Liyun's attitude of looking down on his concubines made her unhappy, so she wanted to regain her face.
There was no arrangement for the maid to accidentally run into the Qi family and be kidnapped. It will definitely not happen this time.
She thought that with these male guests present, Song Liyun must show the poise and dignity of a mistress, and she must hold back her dignity even if she is hungry.
Unexpectedly, without even a single hidden word, my secret was exposed.
