Under the pomegranate tree, two figures appeared.
"Wanwan, don't be reluctant to give it up. Give Shen Li more of those beautiful jewelry. She just came to Beijing from Lingnan and doesn't have many friends. Now is a good opportunity to make friends with her!" Jiang Wenxing advised.
Jiang Wan looked unhappy, kicked the orchid grass beside the gravel path, and muttered:
"I know, I know! Dad has reminded me many times that I don't have many beautiful jewelry, so I still want to give them to her..."
"Moreover, she gave a paste-like sauce in return... She is really a country girl. When she comes to the city, she gives people local specialties... You still want me to eat that thing? It's disgusting, I won't eat!"
Jiang Wenxing was helpless, "You, the Shen family said that Shen Li made the sauce herself. If you don't eat it, how can you go and praise it in front of her?"
"I forced the maid to eat a spoonful. They said it was sweet, so just say how sweet it is and how delicious it is... Why would anyone give such an unworthy gift in return? She is still the daughter of a royal family..." Jiang Wan's tone was full of disgust and jealousy.
She was really jealous of this kind of country girl who was not even as good as her hair, but now she was the noble girl sought after by everyone in the capital.
"Don't have this attitude in front of Shen Li! She is very useful to you!" Jiang Wenxing frowned.
"I'm not a fool. In front of her, I will treat her like my own sister and praise her..." Jiang Wan said immediately.
This is the Jiang family's backyard, and there are no outsiders.
The brother and sister talked unscrupulously.
Jiang Rong frowned when she heard this, and suddenly she heard a slight rustling sound coming from the side.
I saw a little girl in Tsing Yi standing behind a rockery landscape stone nearby.
At this time, the little girl was in tears. She silently raised the sleeve on the back of her hand to wipe her tears. She endured the grievance and turned around to leave.
Turning around, he met Jiang Rongxi's eyes.
Shen Li was a little panicked for a moment, as if he had been caught eavesdropping on someone else's conversation and was at a loss. He hurriedly explained:
"I...I'm lost...I didn't mean to..."
She was in a hurry to go to the toilet, but Jiang's garden was too big, so she went to the backyard after twisting and turning.
Jiang Rong looked at her and remembered some things from her previous life.
After the Xie family army was destroyed, Shen Li always came to Xie's house to stay with her and bring her homemade snacks.
Shen Li was worried about her and was not good at words, so he stayed with her silently day after day.
At that time, Jiang Rong always thought that Shen Wenyuan was inconvenient to have close contact with her, so he asked his sister to come.
"You heard it all." Jiang Rong looked at her.
Shen Li looked even more embarrassed, "I didn't eavesdrop on purpose..."
"Since you heard it, how could you turn around and leave?" Jiang Rong took her hand, walked inside, and shouted:
"You guys stop!"
Jiang Wenxing and Jiang Wan, who had almost walked out of the garden, turned back at the same time.
Seeing Shen Li, both of them felt guilty.
"Why are my sister and the Shen family sisters here?" Jiang Wenxing was a well-rounded person. He pretended that nothing happened and said:
"The front hall has specially prepared a lot of Beijing snacks for Sister Shen. I wonder if they are suitable to Sister Shen's taste?"
Jiang Rong exposed it coldly, "We heard what you just said."
Jiang Wan's expression changed instantly.
"Give back the lychee sauce!" Jiang Rong said coldly.
Jiang Wan was a little flustered, but she wanted to cause trouble unreasonably: "That was a gift from the Shen family, why are you robbing someone else's things?"
"Because you don't know good and evil, you don't deserve to eat. If you don't pay, I will ask my uncle to come and let him listen to what you just said." Jiang Rong's voice was cold.
Jiang Wan was most afraid of her father, so she quickly ordered her maid, "Go and get it quickly!"
"Chen Li, I didn't mean that... I just don't eat sweets... I can't get used to them..." Jiang Wan tried to make up for it.
Shen Li gritted her teeth with tears in her eyes, turned her head and ignored her.
After a while, the maid hurriedly brought back the lychee sauce.
Jade stepped forward and took the sauce.
Jiang Rong took Shen Li and turned around to leave.
Looking at the two people leaving, Jiang Wan jumped angrily:
"Jiang Rong will definitely say bad things about me behind my back. What should I do? Brother!"
Jiang Wenxing remained speechless.
Does this still require Jiang Rong to say bad things about you? What you said just now is bad enough.
"Shen Li is the easiest one to deceive. If something like this happens, then use force on the rest of the Shen family. By the way, the most important thing is the Prince of the North! You know what happened in Beijing recently, right? Even the crown prince does not dare to go against the Northern Prince. This most powerful man in Great Xia is truly well-deserved!" Jiang Wenxing was filled with excitement.
He didn't understand the game behind these things and could only see a superficial result.
That is, the Northern Prince's concubine beat the prince's cousin, and the prince did not dare to save her.
Beiwangfu is the strongest!
Be nice!
"I expected the crown prince to come to our Jiang family today, and I prepared it several days in advance... It's just that Jiang Rong always messes with me. Brother, please help me delay..." Jiang Wan's eyes were full of smug ambition.
She can definitely replace Jiang Rong!
"Okay, I'll go find her." Jiang Wenxing was happy to help her.
He has never regarded Jiang Rong as one of his own. Of course, it was his own sister who won the position of concubine, so that he could take advantage of it.
……
Shen Li went to her boudoir with Jiang Rong.
"The makeup is stained. Let's touch it up." Jiang Rong brought her to the dressing mirror.
Shen Li said awkwardly, "No... no need..."
"If you go out like this, others will know that you are crying." Jiang Rong said.
Shen Li looked at the pink marks washed away by tears in the mirror and stopped talking.
Jade stepped forward, picked up some water to wipe Shen Li's face, and then took out the rouge and gouache from the dressing box to modify it.
Jiang Rong glanced at the lychee jam he had just brought back and said:
"The sauce you made is delicious."
"Thank you, Crown Princess, there is no need to comfort me. I understand that the things I send cannot be put on the table..." Shen Li said, her red eyes filled with tears again.
"I have no comfort, to be honest. It is rare to see lychees in the capital, and there is no lychee sauce. When we looked at the sauce, we all thought it was very fresh and the taste was really good." Jiang Rong said calmly:
"Jade also used it to develop a new snack called Thousand Layers of Lychee Cake. It is in the white jade glutinous rice cake and served with lychee sauce. It is a novel snack. It was sent to Songhetang yesterday, and the concubine was full of praise..."
Shen Li's eyes widened, "Really...really?"
"That's natural. Our concubine also asked where to get the lychee jam. She wants to buy a few more bottles and let the chef in the mansion make some snacks for us." Jade smiled and took over: "Miss Shen is really ingenious. , preserves the taste of lychee, and makes it particularly delicious.”
Shen Li's face was slightly red after being praised, "There are lychees everywhere in Lingnan. I just thought it would be a pity if I couldn't eat them all and spoil them... so I made them into sauce. If the concubine likes it, I'll make it when I get home. Go give me two bottles!"
