Chapter 315: Visitors
"Didn't you send Ah Tong over two days ago? www.biquge.info"Uncle He's wife said happily, "July 2nd and July 6th are good days, and after that, we will have to celebrate the Bon Festival, so I can only wait until August, and I think it's a little late." ”
"Then it's July 2nd. Jiang Xian thought, she had a treat early, she had done her best, and she was done early, maybe she could go to Yunlong Mountain with Li Qian to escape the summer.
Uncle He's wife was busy and said: "Then I'll come to help the county lord at that time! Don't dare to say anything else, help watch the mother-in-law on the stove, who is handy." ”
Jiang Xian Khan.
She is rectifying her housekeeping, who is in charge of who's business, and who is responsible for whom's affairs, Uncle He's wife A guest ran to the kitchen to point fingers, what is going on?
Jiang Xian thought about it and felt that the picture was too "beautiful".
She smiled and said, "How can you let my uncle and wife go to the stove to help, what are these servants in the house doing? You don't have to worry about anything else!"
Mrs. He wants to ask her to come over to help if there is anything in the Li family, and she is a guest regardless of anything, and Mrs. He is really a little unaccustomed to it.
Jiang Xian said: "There are a lot of people over there, and I am idle in the house every day, and I am afraid that I will not be able to use up the network in the past few years." Let them move their hands and feet. ”
Uncle and Mrs. He agreed in disbelief.
Li Changqing learned from Li Qian that Jiang Xian was going to hold a banquet at home on July 2 to entertain those noble ladies in Taiyuan, and he was still a little nervous, and asked Li Qian: "What will we do then?"
Li Qian said with a smile: "We can do whatever we need to do about the women in the house, don't worry about them." ”
"Is that okay?" Li Changqing tugged at the placket.
Li Qian knew that the relationship between people was Li Changqing's shortcoming, and comforted his father with a smile: "It can be done! I saw that those meritorious families in the capital did the same." ”
Li Changqing thought about it, it really made sense, so he didn't ask any more, but just gave Jiang Xian five hundred taels of silver, saying that the silver for the banquet was from him.
Jiang Xian accepted the silver, asked Li Qian to thank Li Changqing, and asked Li Qian to tell Li Changqing, these are small money, so that Li Changqing doesn't need to remember to give it to her, she won't be polite to Li Changqing when she needs silver.
Li Qian euphemistically conveyed Jiang Xian's meaning, and Li Changqing also felt that he was a little stingy, and no longer gave Jiang Xian silver, but he would give her a big red envelope every year, which of course was a later story.
Jiang Xian handed over the banquet to the lover, and asked Li Tai to see if the people in the Shi family class were still in Taiyuan, and if they were still there, they would invite them to come to their homes to sing for a day.
The lover found out Jiang Xian's gift book when he got married, copied the list of female relatives who came to Jiang Xian's wedding that day, and inquired about the details of each family, and then went to discuss with Jiang Xian: "There are only two foreign women of the third grade and above, four people of the fourth grade, and ten people of the fifth grade and above. ”
Jiang Xianzheng was fine, feeding the two oriole birds that Li Qian gave her, and said with a smile: "More than five grades! There must be someone who can't come, since it's a treat, it can't be deserted." ”
It's so lively, she can't stand it either!
The mistress knew her preferences, smiled and agreed, and after finalizing the list of guests with her, he began to check on the reciting of the house rules by the servants of the house.
The matter of writing the invitation was handed over to Baijie and another maid who could read and break the text.
Mrs. He couldn't help but feel a little anxious when she looked at it, so she came over with Uncle and Mrs. He and asked her: "Now that it is about to reach the end of the month, is the wine, food, and refreshments at the banquet about to be prepared? ”
"It's just to invite a dozen or so people to come to the house for a meal, what is there to prepare. Jiang Xian asked someone to brew the jasmine tea that Mrs. Qi sent over a few days ago and invited Mrs. He and Mrs. He to taste it, "In the past two years, it has been fashionable to drink flower tea in Beijing, and Fujian likes to drink rock tea, and I don't know if it suits the taste of you and your uncle's wife, but you can also taste something new." ”
Mrs. He and Mrs. He are both natives of Shanxi, like to drink green tea, and have lived in Fujian for several years, but they have not been able to change this preference, and their acceptance of flower tea is very high.
Uncle He's wife felt that Jiang Xian was casual and gentle, and slowly became less restrained in front of Jiang Xian, and said with a smile: "I like this smell anyway, it's fragrant, and I feel comfortable when I smell it." After speaking, he took a few sips.
Jiang Xian pursed his lips and smiled.
I think Uncle He's wife is a very interesting person.
Mrs. He's heart is not as wide as that of Uncle He, otherwise she wouldn't have lived like this.
She was still thinking about the treat: "Don't you really need to prepare in advance?"
"No, I don't. Jiang Xian smiled, "I'm going to follow the rules of the capital." Anyway, I'm from the capital, and they won't think I'm rude. Besides, if you follow the rules of Taiyuan, every household is the same, what is the point. ”
Uncle He's wife stroked her palms when she heard this, and said, "That's what the county lord said. I think the county lord has a good idea. ”
As she spoke, her eyes fell on Mrs. He, "I see that there are few people in Taiyuan City who have been to the capital except for Mrs. Li of Governor's family, which just opened their eyes." ”
The capital is the capital of the country, and what is popular there is the best.
Jiang Xian felt that this Uncle He's wife was a wonderful person.
She asked Mrs. He, "What does your mother's family do?"
Uncle He's wife smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's a business." ”
"No wonder you're well-informed. "Three religions and nine streams, Jiang Xian does not despise them.
Uncle He's face turned red when she heard this.
The three of them tasted the newly baked dim sum from the West Cross Courtyard.
"Say it's Soviet-style. Jiang Xian said, "It's also the first time I've eaten it." If you think it's good, you can bring it to the table when you have a treat. ”
Mrs. He nodded repeatedly.
A maid came in and said, "Madam, county lord, uncle's wife, the wife of the donor Bo family sent a grandmother to hand over the sticker, and I want to visit you tomorrow." ”
The wife of the benefactor Bo family is one of the four four-rank foreign women.
This face Jiang Xian must give.
As a result, Mrs. Shi not only came by herself, but also brought the third lady of the Shi family over.
When Mrs. Shi saw her, she apologized to her: "The little girl's family is ignorant, she offended the county lord, and she never dared to tell me, I only inadvertently knew about it two days ago, and asked the county lord Haihan." I specially brought her over today to compensate the county lord. ”
It doesn't matter if I found out two days ago or not.
Because Jiang Xian didn't plan to have a deep friendship with this Mrs. Shi.
In this kind of entertainment and communication on the scene, Jiang Xian did not deal with many internal and external women, but he had a lot of dealings with the so-called Shilin leaders and Hongru sages in the temple.
Tell me, I'll listen, it's not about life and death, don't worry too much about it, let yourself be annoyed.
Jiang Xian accepted Mrs. Shi's statement and said a few polite words to Mrs. Shi.
Mrs. Shi sighed: "The county lord is really kind, I was worried that the county lord would blame me for teaching my daughter no way, it seems that I still think too much." ”
Jiang Xian smiled slightly.
Miss Shi Jiasan seemed to be relieved, and said abruptly: "It's all because I didn't pay attention to things, and when I saw that Miss Gao said that I didn't care, I followed her to you......"
Dear, today's update.
