Chapter 41: The Banquet (2)

It's no wonder that they don't understand that although the Zhou family is better than before, it can't be compared with the real rich and noble. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info the families they usually visit are also similar to the Zhou family, of course, I don't know that the big families are divided into front yards and backyards, and I don't know that there are two doors.

"Oh yo, although it is sunny this day, it is still a little cold, a few girls hurry up and get in the car, presumably Mrs. will be in a hurry. The smile on Qi's mother's face remained unchanged, and she greeted warmly and thoughtfully.

Lan Xin smiled and followed her footsteps, and when she came to the green cloth car, Qi's mother arranged Lan Xin, Yuxue and Evian in one car, while Ziyi and the others sat in the second car. Ziyi glanced at Lan Xin suspiciously, when he came to Rongfu in the past, only Lan Xin took the car alone, but they walked to the second gate with the car. Lan Xin smiled and nodded slightly, and Ziyi took Lumei to the car behind.

Yuxue and Evian made a green cloth cart for the first time, they were both excited and curious, and they didn't know where to put their hands, so they had to follow Lan Xin's example and sit there steadily. Lan Xin's face was calm, but in his mind, he was thinking about what was the starting point of Mrs. Rong's arrangement.

The mothers-in-law who drove the car were all well-trained and the car was very stable. After about a quarter of an hour, the car stopped, and Wu's mother's voice was heard, "I wonder which distinguished guest is in the car?"

"It's the eldest girl, the second girl and the third girl of the Zhou family. The mother-in-law outside the car replied respectfully.

While speaking, Lan Xin opened the curtain and took the lead in getting out of the green cloth car. Mother Wu hurriedly stepped forward and gave her a hand, and said with a smile: "The girl is here, and Madame sent someone to ask just now! ”

The last sentence made Lan Xin's face blush slightly, Du Juan is a person from the courtyard of the eldest young master Rong Jing, she came over and asked, what ····· It goes without saying. Lan Xin's face turned even redder when she was stared at by Mother Wu, but she quickly calmed down and said with a smile: "Hard mom!"

Seeing that although Lan Xin was shy, she was able to calm down quickly, Wu's mother felt a little more respectful in her heart. Although he can't look at a small family like Zhou's family, he admires the big girl in front of him from the bottom of his heart. pinched the purse handed over by Ziyi, and thanked him with a smile: "I can do things for the girl, because the girl looks down on the old slave." She knew that Lan Xin gave such a heavy purse and thanked her for bringing words yesterday.

Ziyi looked at the real smile on Wu's mother's face, and sighed: No matter who receives such a big purse, they will smile like that, so sincerely, right? That's a full tael of silver! Just think about it, I feel sorry for the girl. I have more and more opinions about the second and third girls.

"I've seen the second girl, the third girl. Mother Wu had a decent smile on her face, and Yuxue and Evian greeted her. I don't know if it's because I'm familiar with Mother Wu, or because I know Mother Wu's status in the house, I don't dare to slack off, and both of them replied with half a courtesy.

Mother Wu led a few people towards the small flower hall. Although it is a plum blossom banquet today, it is only a small banquet, and Mrs. Rong just invited a few familiar ladies and girls to have a lively time, so it is set up in the small flower hall.

Lan Xin said with a smile: "Presumably there will be distinguished guests arriving in a while, mother doesn't need to send us, just let the little maid guide the way." ”

"If it's out of the way, the old slave will send the girl to the door. Since Mother Wu said this, Lan Xin couldn't refuse, so she had to follow Mother Wu to the Little Flower Hall.

The snow on the road has long been swept away, and the road surface is clean and tidy. Although it was already winter, there was no winter desolation along the way. The trees by the roadside are tied with silk flowers, red, pink, purple, and green······ Colorful, so good-looking!

Lan Xin looked at the "flowers" that were blooming one after another, and wondered if she would tie a few trees in her yard after she went back to increase the festive atmosphere?

Yuxue looked at the flowers on the tree and felt blood in pain, she was really a loser. These flowers are good-looking, but it's a pity that these silks are wasted like this, these are all good silks! But I have to say, the Rong family is really rich! Thinking of this, he glanced at Lan Xin again, and his mood was a little complicated.

Evian looked at these flowers and really thought it looked good, this time it was really the right time to come to Rongfu. I don't know, will it be delicious for Rong Fu to entertain her later?

When the group came to the small flower hall, there was already a little maid who went in to report, several people took off their cloaks, the little maid held the curtain, and Lan Xin walked in. Lan Xin walked and swept around the hall. There were a total of five people sitting in the hall plus the Lu family, and only the two people next to the Lu family were a little eye-catching.

Mrs. Rong is wearing a dark red gold-threaded peony jacket today, combing a high bun, and wearing a red gold hairpin inlaid with beeswax stones on her head. With a graceful and decent smile on his face, he looked at Lan Xin's salute and said angrily: "This kid is polite, get up quickly!"

glanced at the two ladies in the seats next to him, smiled and beckoned to Lan Xin, "Come and meet your eldest aunt and your second aunt." ”

Lan Xin obediently greeted the two ladies. Mrs. Rong said with a smile: "Yo, this is the daughter-in-law of the fifth brother who has not passed the door, what a symbolic person." "The fifth brother in Dr. Rong's mouth is naturally Rong Jing, he is the fifth brother in the clan, but in the Rong Mansion in Xuzhou, everyone is used to calling him the eldest young master.

"yes, at first glance, he looks like a smart and clever one. Second Mrs. Lu said, looking at the smiling Lu and said, "My sister is really a blessed person." ”

"Hehe" Lu pressed the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a reserved smile: "Why do you want to talk about me, is your blessing still far away?" After speaking, he glanced at Mrs. Rong intentionally or unintentionally.

"Hehe, whatever my sister says, it's what it is. Second Lady Lu said with a smile. Glancing at the maid behind her, the maid came over with a red lacquer tray. On the red silk cloth of the tray is a pair of red gold auspicious wishful bracelets.

Lan Xin visually inspected it, and a bracelet was about two taels or more, less than three taels.

Mrs. Rongda's maid tray has red gold hollow bracelets, each of which is not known to be two taels, but it is filled with exquisite workmanship. Mrs. Rong said with a smile: "This is a little bit of the eldest aunt's heart. Second Lady Lu also looked at Lan Xin with a smile.

Lan Xin raised her eyes and glanced at Mrs. Rong, and when she saw her smiling and nodding, she curtsied and said, "Aunt Xie, Second Aunt Xie." Ziyi smiled and stepped forward to take the thing and stepped aside.

Seeing Lan Xin's master and servant accept the gift without being surprised, Mrs. Rong and Mrs. Lu glanced at each other in unison: Didn't you say that this Zhou family was just a nouveau riche from the countryside? Seeing such a valuable gift, he was still so calm and calm.

What's more, this kind of bearing is the same as that of the girls in the capital! Even the maids around him are also a moderate advance and retreat.

Worried that the others present would see the clues, the two invariably picked up their teacups to hide the difference in their eyes.
