Cai Xiaoman's participation in the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Fair was quite rewarding. After getting to know Mrs. Wu and her party, he gradually opened up his social circle in the capital. Most of these people are upstarts, so they don't have the many rules of those aristocratic families, and they won't look down on people like her from a commoner background.
After all, these people are just newcomers, and they are not far from Cai Xiaoman. The sect is very strict here, even if there is someone like Mrs. Ma, it is not impossible to enter the noble family, but in the end it is still looked down upon by others, and it is easy to be neglected.
Madam diplomacy is necessary, but there is no need to lick your face and get close. Even if there is a relationship, if the other party looks down on it, it is just self-defeating. It's better to find people in the same circle, and get along with them without feeling tiring and awkward.
Gu Huaijin also doesn't need her to socialize with those people too deliberately. He climbed up to this day to make his family live comfortably, and there is no need to wrong him for the sake of smooth officialdom.
Getting along with them is of course beneficial, but it has to be smooth, in order to make more friends.
? Although the current gap is quite large, Mrs. Ma and Princess Chaoyang are making faces, and she is still young, so everyone treats her as a junior.
"You did this yourself? I never thought you would have such a skill." Goya marveled. Tasting the exquisite little dots brought by Cai Xiaoman with a look of amazement, the mouth is soft, sweet but not greasy, and I like it very much. Especially the appearance is very flattering, making people want to taste it just by looking at it.
She already liked sweets, so she ate several pieces in a row. It was the same thing, but there were so many flavors, she couldn't wait to eat all the dim sum brought by Cai Xiaoman in one go.
At the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Party, Goya and Cai Xiaoman hit it off. The two are about the same age, and because Goya hates Du Jiayue, he also has an inexplicable affection for Du Jiayue's wife, who can't ask for it. There is always a feeling of refreshment when looking at Cai Xiaoman, as if seeing Du Jiayue being slapped in the face.
When the two separated, they agreed to have a private reunion. Ge's family has a higher family status, so gift-giving has become a science. After much deliberation, the dim sum made by myself is the most suitable.
Mrs. Zhao was really angry and funny when she saw Goya like this: "Look at you, if you don't know it, you think our house is short of food for you."
Although Goya has a carefree temper, he is not that ignorant, and he is a little embarrassed to be said so: "Isn't this too delicious? I have never eaten such a snack before."
"If you like it, if I do it in the future, I will bring it to you." Cai Xiaoman said. As a chef, the happiest thing is that everyone likes the food she cooks, not to mention that it can enhance the relationship between the two families.
Goya's eyes lit up immediately: "Really?! That's really great!"
"There's no one begging for food like this. Thanks to your kindness, you deserve it so quickly. What do you think of Mrs. Cai?" Mrs. Zhao slapped her angrily.
It is courtesy and kindness for Cai Xiaoman to come to the door to give snacks, but if she is often asked to do it because she likes it, it is deliberately burying others. After all, she is the official wife, not the exclusive cook of their family. What I said just now was just a polite remark, if they really answered it, it would be embarrassing.
"I'm just talking, I don't really dare to work." Goya stuck out his tongue, but didn't eat any more. There are a lot of people in the family, no matter how greedy she is, she can't give them all.
Mrs. Zhao asked curiously: "I've never seen this dim sum before, could it be your family's secret recipe?"
"That's not true. This kind of dim sum recipe was introduced from overseas. There are many overseas people in Yangcheng, and I learned from them."
Mrs. Zhao nodded: "I see, no wonder it's different from the dim sum we usually see."
"Wouldn't it be very difficult if we wanted to eat?" Goya muttered, still regretful in his heart. This kind of dessert is soft and easy to digest. If you ask someone to make it sugar-free or low-sugar, you can let your grandmother taste it.
But this is a recipe learned from overseas, so it is difficult to find a dedicated cook. Unlike Yangcheng, the capital city does not have so many outsiders.
Cai Xiaoman took the opportunity to advertise his store: "If you want to eat, you can also buy it in my store. I have a dim sum shop under my name, which sells such small snacks."
The business of the store in Beijing is very good, but there are still many people who don't know about the new store. Although it is said that being an official is not allowed to engage in business, but if there is no shop or property in the family, especially women, this is guaranteed by the husband's family, so there is nothing wrong with Daoming.
Hearing the name of the shop, Goya and Mrs. Zhao immediately laughed.
"It turns out that this manniu snack shop belongs to your family. I have heard the name of this shop a long time ago, but I just thought it was interesting but I never went to see it. I didn't expect it to be under the name. If I had known that there were such delicious snacks, I bought it earlierp; "Did there be any news from Yangcheng? My brother and brother-in-law failed the exam?" Seeing Gu Huaijin coming home, Cai Xiaoman hurriedly greeted him and asked anxiously.
? Since the two of them failed the rankings three years ago, they did not enter the examination room again. Instead, they devoted themselves to studying and did not enter the examination room again until this year. Gu Huaijin said that Cai Xiaohu's knowledge is not surprising now, and he will be able to pass the exam this year. Although Cao Yunteng is not good, he still has a great chance.
In the past few years, Cai Xiaoman has never been home, and every time he plans to go back, he is delayed by such and other things. This made her miss her family very much. Although she usually has letters, it is better to have her family by her side. If Cai Xiaohu can pass the exam this time, he will be able to go to the Imperial College, and his parents will follow him to the capital, so that the family can be reunited.
Therefore, this made Cai Xiaoman look forward to it even more.
Gu Huaijin sighed deeply, with a serious face, which made Cai Xiaoman's heart skip a beat, and his expression gradually collapsed.
"We have to find a house quickly, otherwise our parents, brother-in-law and Xiaohu will have nowhere to stay." (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
