This was said very satisfactorily, not only rejecting Qu Yingying, but also explaining his good intentions.

Aunt Fangrui smiled slightly, and unceremoniously accepted Cheng's arrangement: "Since you still live in Qiuli Garden, that's fine." A few girls in the garden are also familiar. ”

The autumn pear garden is luxurious and bright, and there are six girls in the guest room to serve, and she lives in this yard every year, and people use it, and I really don't want to change it. Besides, this time she didn't plan to leave in the short term, so she naturally had to pick the most comfortable place. Qu Yingying wanted to go to Xiaoxiang Courtyard, but she just wanted to refute that the courtyard was remote and deserted, and there were dead people, she was extremely disapproving. It's just that he has always known that his daughter has an idea, so he doesn't dare to stop it easily, and Cheng's arrangement is excellent.

Qu Yingying listened to Cheng's words, Xiumei frowned, obviously wanting to speak. However, she is an extremely measured person, and she is not in a hurry, and she will be the same after a while.

Immediately, she also laughed: "Since my aunt has arranged it, then Yingying will listen to my aunt." ”

Fu Rongyue was silent, secretly lowered her eyelids, and pretended not to see the aggrieved expression that Qu Yingying threw at her when she said this.

There was a moment of silence in the room, Qu Yingying said this, and soon found another topic to talk to Cheng, a few aunts were bored, she could also be thoughtful, everyone said a few words, never favoring one over the other.

This exquisite thought really impressed Fu Rongyue, and at the same time, she was even more wary of her.

Soon, Fu Xingjian followed the girl into the main courtyard, as soon as he entered the door, he saw that everyone was waiting according to the seating order, several of his concubines were well-dressed, pretty and charming, and Cheng's rules were also excellent, Fu Xingjian suddenly felt that there was light on his face, showed a gentle smile, raised his hand to stop everyone from getting up to say hello, pulled out a chair and sat in the vacant position, and then said: "Didn't you let you wait for me? Fang Rui and Yingying are guests from afar, I'm afraid they are hungry." ”

"What did my brother say, you are the head of the family, if you don't come, who will dare to open the meal?" Aunt Fang Rui retorted with a smile.

This is very good, Fu Xingjian showed a happy smile on his face, greeted Aunt Fang Rui and Qu Yingying whether they were safe on the road, etc., and then ordered the girl to eat.

Tonight is a reception banquet, Cheng made the kitchen prepare very richly, and when the dishes are ready, there is a full one.

Originally, according to the usual practice, these aunts in the Hou Mansion could only serve vegetables behind the master, but today to welcome guests, everyone is allowed to sit together. The warbler and the swallow are also beautiful and delicious.

Fu Xingjian was obviously very happy, and personally prepared dishes for Aunt Fangrui and Qu Yingying: "Come, eat this crystal boned duck, soft and chewy, you will definitely like it." ”

"Thank you, brother!"

"Thank you, uncle, what my uncle chose must be extremely delicious. Qu Yingying smiled playfully and said, "You're welcome." ”

"Flim!" Aunt Fangrui glared at her.

Qu Yingying was very aggrieved: "What I said is true!"

"Okay, okay, I know you have a sweet mouth. Can't stop your mouth with so much food?" Aunt Fang Rui was successfully amused by her and gave her a steamed yam with chopsticks powder.

The two of them talked like this, as if they were at home, which quickly eliminated the strangeness of Fu Xingjian and the others, and everyone at the table was happy to talk and laugh.

Fu Rongyue doesn't like to join in the fun at this time, she just eats her own food, neither interjecting nor answering, the rhythm is neither fast nor slow, when Fu Xingjian puts down the bowl, she also quickly puts down the chopsticks.

Fu Xingjian asked Cheng how he arranged Aunt Fang Rui and the others, and after Cheng said, he was also more satisfied, and specially asked Steward Long to send some more supplies. The affairs of the court were worried, he stayed for a short time, and after instructing Aunt Fangrui and Qu Yingying to find Cheng for everything, he left the people in this room and went to the study first.

Fu Xingjian left, the rules that should have been there, and Fu Rongyue also got up to say goodbye.

As soon as Qu Yingying heard that she was leaving, she hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "I'll send you." ”

"Miss Qu is a guest, how dare you send Miss Qu off? "Stretching out your hand and not hitting the smiling person doesn't mean that Fu Rongyue won't refuse.

Qu Yingying was stunned, a little uncomfortable with Fu Rongyue's coldness.

In the past, she came back to Fu's house, because she was beautiful and sweet-mouthed and could speak, neither Fu Rongqin nor Fu Ronghui was coaxed by her to giggle, and no one would refuse her overtures again and again. She wondered in her heart, but she still didn't want to give up, Xiu fist clenched in her sleeve, raised a smile and stepped forward to pull Fu Rongyue: "Sister Rongyue, we are relatives, why is Miss Qu long Miss Qu short, so if you don't want to call me cousin, it's okay to call me Yingying!"

When Fu Rongyue saw her leaning over, she subconsciously resisted, she pretended to turn around and talk to Mei Lin, and naturally took a step back, separating Qu Yingying's hand: "I went back to Xiaoxiang Courtyard in a while, remember to remind me to wrap the new white porcelain-like box and give it to Aunt Fangrui and Miss Qu as a meeting gift." ”

After that, she blessed Cheng and Aunt Fangrui, nodded to Qu Yingying and a few aunts, and slowly walked to Xiaoxiang Courtyard.

Qu Yingying chased her all the way to the gate of the main courtyard, and when she saw that she had no intention of turning back, she returned to the main courtyard in frustration.

As soon as he sat down, he heard Aunt Fang Rui's slightly dissatisfied voice: "What's the matter with Rong Yue, her temperament is too cold." ”

"The second lady has always had such a temper, aunt and Yingying don't take it to heart. Aunt Du smiled softly: "She is still very good, she is very attentive to Mrs., and she is also considerate to us." ”

Cheng couldn't see that others said that Fu Rongyue was not good, nodded and said with a smile: "When she first came to the capital, it is normal to be a little afraid of life, and when her aunt and Yingying get along with her for a long time, she will not be so polite." ”

"Yes, it's so polite, I'm shy to call my aunt and cousin. Aunt Fang Rui said seemingly unintentionally.

Although Fu Rongyue doesn't have much contact with these aunts of the Fu family on weekdays, there are a lot of gifts that should be given during the New Year's holidays. Whoever has a difficult problem on weekdays, she is also happy to help, although several aunts are not as considerate as Cheng's side, but they have no prejudice against her, at this moment, seeing Aunt Fangrui's misunderstanding, they are all reluctant to come, and can't help but want to excuse her.

Aunt Luo is the best at talking, and she can also adjust the atmosphere, pursed her lips and giggled and said: "She just doesn't say it, she still thinks that her aunt and Miss Cousin are relatives in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't have come to unseal it." Aunt Zhao, did you say?"

"Yes, not to mention anything else, when the second lady came over just now, she was wearing a banquet dress, which shows that she still attaches great importance to meeting her aunt and Miss Cousin this time. Aunt Zhao nodded again and again.

Aunt Fang Rui listened to these words, and thought about it carefully, Fu Rongyue was indeed wearing a formal banquet dress when she was eating just now, which shows that what Aunt Zhao said is true.

She felt a little more comfortable in her heart, and finally turned over the yellow calendar, and Cheng deliberately changed the topic, so she talked with a few aunts.

Qu Yingying has been quiet since Fu Rongyue left, and when several aunts spoke, her eyes kept falling on the youngest Aunt Du.

Aunt Du entered the house in the spring last year, she was also in the house at that time, and she went to congratulate Aunt Fangrui, so she naturally remembered this beauty. Aunt Du is not much older than her, and it is much easier to get close, Qu Yingying thought about it, and then sat down next to Aunt Du, holding her chin and talking to her without a word.

Qu Yingying spoke very skillfully, and Aunt Du was not guarded, as soon as you said a word to me, the topic slowly turned to Fu Rongyue.

"Is Rong Yue like this on weekdays?" Qu Yingying blinked her eyes, innocent.

Aunt Du shook her head and said with a smile: "No, the second lady is a gentle person, and she has a little smile when she sees everyone." I was happy today, but I was just ......"

"yes, it's all my mother's fault. Qu Yingying naturally answered: "I'll go back to the yard and educate her again." At the moment, I am worried about whether Rong Yue will hate my mother and me because of this, and she will not call me cousin. ”

"This watch lady can relax as much as she wants. Aunt Du chuckled and said with great certainty: "Second Miss is not such a person, she was angry just now, probably because of her aunt's contempt for Mrs. Su, since my aunt apologized, Second Miss will not pursue it again, let alone hold Miss Biao." As for the salutation...... This Miss Cousin doesn't have to worry too much, don't say it's Miss Cousin, even the Hou Ye is here, the second Miss never shouts 'Dad', in this Hou Mansion, the second Miss only calls Mrs. Cheng 'Aunt Cheng', the eldest young master is the 'big brother', the fourth miss is the younger sister, and the others are all according to their names. ”

"She doesn't even call her uncle!" Qu Yingying was taken aback.

Aunt Du looked at Cheng carefully, Aunt Fang Rui was talking to Cheng, Cheng didn't notice this, so she nodded: "There is some estrangement between the second lady and the Hou Ye. ”

As for what the estrangement is, Qu Yingying is a smart person and doesn't need to break it.

Qu Yingying pondered for a while, and sure enough, she figured out the trick. She recalled carefully, when Fu Xingjian entered the table just now, Fu Rongyue was indeed the Hou Ye who shouted, and the strangeness between the father and daughter was also clear at a glance.

She curled the corners of her eyes slightly, if that's the case, then God help me!

She didn't ask any further, and soon found another topic, turning Aunt Du's attention away.

When Aunt Fang Rui was talking to Cheng, the corner of her eye kept paying attention to her movements, and when she saw this, she yawned a few times, causing Cheng to ask with concern: "But are you sleepy?"

"Yes, I have been curled up in the carriage, bumpy all the way, and I am tired after eating. Aunt Fang Rui said lightly.

Cheng Shi felt a little distressed: "Since you are sleepy, let's rest early." Lingxue, you take your aunt and Miss Cousin to the autumn pear orchard. ”

"No, I know the way, let the little girl lead the way. Aunt Fangrui knew that Lingxue was the girl in charge of the main courtyard, and Cheng asked the big girl to lead the way for her, giving her enough face, she naturally accepted it when she saw it, stood up and rejected Cheng's, and then let a little girl carry a lantern and lead her daughter to say goodbye to Cheng.

As soon as Fang left the main courtyard, she lowered her voice and asked Qu Yingying, "How is it, did you say anything?"
