When it was time to light the lanterns, the hall of Lei Mansion was very lively. All the men and women of Lei Mansion, old and young, gathered together. The atmosphere was no less than a New Year's Eve dinner. The old master who had been missing for nearly a month was back, and the whole house was rejoicing. It was not just because of Lei
Because Lie is the old master, and because he is always kind to his servants, he has the highest reputation in Lei Mansion, and the servants all like this interesting old man from the bottom of their hearts.
Of course, apart from Lei Huaixiu, who is already married, there is another person who is not here, that is Lei Ao's first wife and Lei Shaoyang's biological mother. Why can't we see her on such an occasion today? Moreover, no one has any idea.
Care, it seems that there is no such person in Lei Mansion anymore. Why is this? Ding Xilan is puzzled, has she passed away? Impossible, Grandpa Fu has not mentioned it to her. If she is really still in Lei Mansion, why is Tangtang
How could a principal wife be so forgotten by everyone?
Ding Xilan was really curious, but she didn't have time to think about it. Because at this time, compliments were overwhelmingly coming to her.
The first is Grandma Lei, "Miss Xilan, you saved my old man's life. I really don't know how to thank you. You don't know, as soon as the old man left, no one quarreled with me, and I was almost bored to death."
.Thank you, thank you for bringing this old man back for me. I’ll give you a toast.”
Ding Xilan stood up in a hurry and drank the glass of wine. "Grandma Lei is too polite. It's just a small effort, but you are hurting me by doing this. What's more, that's what Xilan should do."
"What's so easy?" Lei Lie curled his lips, "Girl, you're talking lightly. If you don't pay attention, your life will be gone."
When Grandma Lei heard what Lei Lie said, she felt even more grateful to her. Looking at her dress, she couldn't help but feel pity for her. She had heard Lei Lie tell the story about this child. She was a very good girl, and she also felt sorry for her.
Li likes it. "Oh, look at this child, still wearing those clothes. Yueniang, please invite the boss of Qingyunfang to come over tomorrow and make some beautiful clothes for Miss Xilan. Otherwise, others will still say that we are callous.
It’s unjust to treat your benefactor like this.”
Ding Xilan wanted to refuse, but Grandma Lei seemed to know what she was thinking, "You, don't refuse, ah! Otherwise, you just look down on my old lady. I am much more conscientious than our old man, if you refuse
If you don't accept my kindness, why don't you just let that old man laugh at me?"
Although it was a joke, there was a kind of majesty in the words.
Seeing this, Ding Xilan had no choice but to accept it. "Thank you, Grandma Lei."
Grandma Lei put down her wine glass happily and said, "What a lovely girl. Ah, let's eat food, eat food."
Ding Xilan also sat down, but unexpectedly she caught a glimpse of the disdainful look on her opponent, Lei Shaoyang, and she immediately showed no weakness to him.
Looking at the table full of delicacies, delicacies from both mountains and seas, Ding Xilan rarely moved her chopsticks. Because these were either fish, chicken wings, duck livers, etc. In short, it was almost a table of meat and fish. She did not forget the vow she made that day. Fortunately,
There were still a few vegetarian dishes on the table, presumably because she was afraid that the old lady would change her taste. She had no choice but to move her chopsticks back and forth among the dishes.
At this time, Lei Ao also raised his glass and said, "Miss Xilan, I don't think I need to say more if I'm grateful. This glass of wine will be regarded as my thank you. From now on, Lei Mansion will be your home."
Ding Xilan was moved and speechless, "Uncle Lei, I am very touched that you all treat me so sincerely. This glass of wine is not just a glass of wine, but also contains my gratitude and blessings."
After saying that, she drank it all in one gulp. She had had a drink with her father before, but she didn't drink much. Moreover, the wine they drank was relatively cheap rice wine, which was nothing like the fine wine they drank in Lei Mansion.
?Having only had two drinks, her cheeks were already lightly flushed.
After a while, Yu Yueniang also raised her glass and said: "Miss Xilan, my mother and husband have also said what they need to say. I won't say anything else. Today, I will have tea instead of wine to express my gratitude. You
There’s no need to drink alcohol, it’s not considered disrespectful to drink tea.”
"Thank you, Second Madam." Ding Xilan thanked her involuntarily and nodded slightly to show her gratitude. This Second Madam was really considerate. Knowing that she could no longer drink, she offered her tea instead of wine so that she could have a drink.
There are steps to go down. She took the tea from Xiaocao and drank it down at the same time as Yu Yueniang.
Yu Yueniang paid such a tribute, and others naturally knew that Ding Xilan could no longer drink, so they all offered tea instead of wine to Ding Xilan. Counting them down, Liu Rushuang, Lei Yunxiu, Lei Xiangxiu, and even the eight-year-old Lei Lingxiu
Here's a toast.
Lei Shaoyang was the only one who was still sullenly eating his own food. He was really angry. This wild girl had stolen the limelight. Everyone was surrounding her now, thinking of how embarrassed he was in front of her.
Those two slaps made him feel angry and uncomfortable. When he realized that something was wrong in the atmosphere, he looked up and realized that everyone's eyes had turned to him. He couldn't help but be shocked.
"What...what happened?" He felt a little confused.
Lei Ao suppressed the anger in his heart, "Shaoyang, Miss Xilan saved my grandfather's life, and she can be regarded as a great benefactor to our Lei family. You should also give her a toast. Look, even you are smart.
My sister knows that, you are such a big person, do you still need me to mention you?"
"This..." Lei Shaoyang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, it was all caused by this girl.
When Liu Rushuang heard Lei Ao praise her daughter, she became even more happy and hugged Lingxiu as a reward.
This damn wild girl always makes him embarrassed. Lei Shaoyang is even more angry. How should he make this girl look embarrassed?
Ah, by the way, she seemed to have only eaten vegetarian dishes just now. She didn't even use her chopsticks when the table was full of chicken, duck, and fish. Could it be that she didn't eat those things?
Haha, yes. He couldn't help but laugh, "Dad is right. Miss Xilan is our great benefactor, I should also toast her. But, dad, you also know that I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."
. And Miss Xilan, it seems that she can no longer drink. If you ask me to offer her tea instead of wine, how will I see anyone after word spreads?"
When Lei Ao heard this, he made some sense and nodded. It was true. He was also an expert in drinking, so he naturally understood the concerns involved.
"However, I see Miss Xilan is so thin," Lei Shaoyang stared at Ding Xilan, smiling but not smiling, and walked to her side. Ding Xilan felt a sense of depression for no reason: he must have bad intentions.
As expected, Lei Shaoyang picked up a piece of chicken feet and put it in her bowl, "You should eat more of this, it's very nourishing. I believe if you eat it every day, you will definitely be fat in a few days."
.”
Yes, just as he expected, Ding Xilan's face immediately turned pale.
"Why don't you eat it? Isn't this delicious? Then I'll give you another piece."
Lei Shaoyang was very satisfied with his masterpiece. He saw Ding Xilan's face getting paler and paler, but he turned a blind eye and continued to serve her meat dishes.
