The girls of the Xue family watched their friends leave, and when they saw a carriage parked at the side door, they immediately attracted interest, and the maids hurriedly urged them to leave and avoid them.

They hid behind the flower window, and covered their faces with silk flower fans, revealing a pair of curious eyes.

The servant handed over the invitation, and the porter sent someone to the Liuxian Pavilion.

As soon as they looked in that direction, the girls instantly understood.

"Count the time, it's time for her to entertain. ”

"Hehe, I heard that she hired a cook herself, but according to her monthly silver, even if she invites someone, I'm afraid there are no materials to make it. ”

"But no, I heard Hongling say that she invited the cook lady to be at a loss for a bunch of flowers, what kind of food can some flowers make? Later, she added her own silver and then bought the materials, the materials are not much, the mandarin fish can barely get into the eye, but at this size, it is a little difficult to make a big dish. She gestured to the size and covered her mouth and snickered, gloating.

This "she" refers to the sixth girl, who has never heard of this person more than ten years ago. But one day, their grandfather and their father brought back a country girl, saying that she had been weak since she was a child, grew up in the countryside, and now she was just taken home after the fateful disaster, so that they should respect their sister as sisters, and be polite to their sisters. On the first day of returning, their rankings were changed, and the girls of sixteen and below were born because of this six-year-old girl, and they forcibly postponed their rankings for more than ten years to teach them how to be convinced.

After hearing that, although she didn't show her face at the poetry and painting meeting, she was allowed to entertain her friends in the Liuxian Pavilion, and she was also allowed to invite the cook, they didn't care about it on their faces, but they were envious of it in their hearts.

The five girls who had not yet left the pavilion looked at them coldly: "After all, it is from our family, let others laugh at them, and feel proud? My girl from the Xue family has reached such a narrow point? Then what is the difference between you and the village woman." ”

She turned to leave, and the rest of the girls felt their faces hot.

The youngest twelve girls are in the rebellious period, and the eyes of her grandparents suddenly shifted to Xue Liu, she felt that she had become a little cabbage that her father didn't love her mother and didn't love her grandparents, and she was at a loss, hating Xue Liu's soft and weak appearance, the fifth sister's words not only didn't listen, on the contrary, she wanted to see Xue Liu's embarrassed appearance when she entertained the guests, and couldn't listen to the advice of her sisters: "Hmph, I have to go and see it!"

……

Rusenkan.

The indoor flowers are a cluster of green, the branches are thin and the leaves are numerous, and the green leaves are dotted with small pearls, they cannot be placed in a slender bottle like a night together, but the wind blows, and the room is full of fragrance.

The maid attracts guests.

When she stepped into the room, she untied her hat and handed it to the maid, under her smooth forehead, a little plum blossom makeup, which was extremely delicate, and others would be attracted by the little plum blossom when they saw her, and would not pay attention to her earlobes that were slightly longer than ordinary people.

As soon as Miss Xue Liu saw someone, she greeted her, held the hands of the person who came, and called affectionately: "Cheng Xin." ”

"Childish. ”

"It's good all the way, will the daylight be too violent?" Xue Nianzhi brought Liu Chengxin to the couch and asked.

Liu Cheng shook his head with a smile. "I heard that when you were taken back to the Xue family, I didn't believe it yet, is there anything I am not used to?"

"It's like a dream. Xue Nianzhi chuckled.

Lu Ping sent tea and pastries, Liu Chengxin picked up the cup, his nose fluttered, his eyebrows stretched, and he exclaimed: "It's so elegant, is it to put the tea leaves in the unopened lotus flowers to soak in the fragrance?"

Look at the lotus crisp in the dark porcelain plate, small and exquisite, to be bold, you can eat it in one bite, she can't put it down, she took a bite and tasted it, it was fragrant and crispy, the layers of puff pastry were crisped in the mouth, and finally there was the taste of lotus mushroom.

Fortunately, it is not big, and it is not afraid of spilling when it is held with a handkerchief, otherwise the puff pastry will be broken, and it will be indecent.

"Yes, I specially invited the cook to make it. ”

After eating snacks, they began to talk about poetry and painting.

Liu Chengxin brought a few picture scrolls, and after they cleaned their hands, they took them to the desk to appreciate them.

Xue Nianzhi is from Nanxun, Liu Chengxin has lived in the capital for a long time, their encounter began in childhood, because of the same hobby, sympathy for each other, after several years of exchanging letters, paper heart-to-heart, until Xue Nianzhi was taken to the capital, became Xue Liu's girl, taking advantage of the poetry and painting meeting and the small banquet, to Liu Cheng's heart to invite her, invite her to come, the two girls met for the first time when they grew up, intimate beyond the barrier of time and space, at first sight.

"Hey, Twelve Girls, our girls are entertaining guests. ”

"What, I can't come to visit my sister as a sister?

There was a commotion outside the Liuxian Pavilion, Xue Twelve stepped in with great strides, turned her head left and right and quickly locked on to the person she was looking for, Lu Ping hurriedly followed behind her, like a quail with a shrunken neck, and like a defeated rooster, not daring to raise her head.

"Twelfth sister, do you have something?" Xue Nianzhi asked.

Xue Twelve's eyes fell on Liu Chengxin's eyebrows and earlobes, and then quickly swept over her clothes, and he already recognized the identity of the person, and secretly said where did Xue Liu get his luck to know Liu Chengxin of the Liu family in Hedong.

"It was Sister Chengxin. I'm going to take a look at the guests of the Sixth Sister. Xue Twelve looked innocent, "What you are saying, I also want to listen." ”

"If only you weren't bored. Xue Nianzhi raised his eyebrows, didn't drive her away, let her stay, and continued to appreciate it with Liu Chengxin, and was interested in poetry together, leaving Xue Twelve aside.

When it was time for dinner, it wasn't dark yet.

When Xue Twelve saw the sky, the whole person became excited, and encouraged Liu Chengxin to stay and eat together, and her sixth sister specially invited the cook to cook.

Xue Nianzhi seemed to be smiling, and whispered to Lu Ping: "Lu Ping, can you go and take a look?" ”

"Girl, it's ready, ready to be served. ”

"Arrange it. After she finished explaining, she said to Liu Chengxin that dinner was ready, eat first and then look at the painting, glanced at Xue Twelve, Xue Twelve looked back at her obediently and innocently, Xue Nianzhi said again: "Twelfth sister also plans to stay for dinner?"

"It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, thank you Sixth Sister for your hospitality!" Xue Twelve smiled and showed his tiger teeth, as if he was demonstrating.

The appetizer is Jiang rice lotus root.

Jiangmi is stuffed with lotus root holes, the slices are placed neatly, and the rose brine is poured on it, which is sweet and non-sticky to the teeth, and it is very palatable after being chilled.

While they were eating, the second course was served.

This is a dish that is elegant and pleasant.

As soon as it was served, it attracted the attention of those present.

In the jade-white bowl, a white lotus pod floats on the clear soup, and the lotus pod is embedded with a few green lotus seeds, and the lotus leaves are dotted next to it, just like transplanting and planting the lotus pod in the pond and leaving it in the bowl.

"Is this a bowl lotus?" Xue Twelve was stunned, and for a moment wondered if it had gone to the wrong place, it should not appear at the dinner table, but on the side of the desk of the literati and ink writers.

Luping: "This is lotus tofu. ”
