The Lu family's banquet was set up in the garden. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The temperature is right right now, and the sun is not particularly poisonous. The long pavilion was rebuilt into a greenhouse, and bamboo curtains were hung around it, which was both simple and elegant. The bamboo curtains are of different heights and curls in a staggered manner, which does not make people feel oppressive and can enjoy the view of the garden. The breeze is light, and the fragrance of flowers is refreshing.

When Lan Xin walked over with the old lady in her arms, Mrs. Lu got the letter from the little girl, and she had already brought someone to the door. Mrs. Lu wore a royal blue orchid embroidered long-sleeved dress with a sky blue tie today. There are three pieces of jadeite hanging from the waist. He wore a high bun on his head and wore a red gold head inlaid with sapphires. The whole person looks graceful and luxurious, dignified and elegant.

Seeing Mrs. Lu coming over, she took a few steps forward and bowed her knees, and said with a smile: "Mother, the banquet is ready, please invite Mother and all the old ladies to the table." When he got up, his eyes fell on Lan Xin's body, and he asked with a smile: "This must be the girl of the Yu family, right?"

Old Madam Lu nodded with a smile and said, "Exactly, this is the Lan Xin girl of the Yu family." Lan Xin hurriedly bowed his knees and said with a smile: "Lan Xin has seen Madame." The tone is soft, not arrogant, nor flattering.

"You're welcome. Mrs. Lu pulled Lan Xin up with a smile, held her hand, and said with a smile, "The banquet is about to start, Miss Yu hurry up and enter the table." ”

Old Madam Lu's eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "Yes, young people must have a circle of young people, hurry up." ”

"Yes, old lady. Thank you, ma'am. Lan Xin took the opportunity to withdraw his hand, curtsied, and thanked him with a smile. Then she followed the little girl to her seat.

Mrs. Mu sat there, holding a teacup in her hand, squinting her eyes as Lan Xin walked over with a slight smile on her face, her face ruddy, obviously not wronged. The heart I was carrying finally let go, and I poured a few sips of tea vigorously before I felt more comfortable. She didn't dare to disobey the above explanation, but she didn't want to offend Lu Sheng's "smiling tiger". She was really worried that something would go wrong with this girl in the Lu family, and now she is finally safe.

After Lan Xin sat down, she greeted the people around her, and she already had a rough idea in her heart, the seats on her side were basically some merchants, and the official eunuchs were sitting at the other end. Her seat is not forward or backward, and it is also appropriate. And Mrs. Mu's seat was above her, with two seats in between.

Lan Xin picked up the tea and raised it in the direction of Mrs. Mu, which was regarded as a greeting. Mrs. Mu glared at her with disgust, and also picked up the teacup on the table, which was considered a response.

Yuxue stood outside the greenhouse, looking at a woman dressed as a housekeeper in the Lu Mansion, and walked over with light steps. The little girls in the back hung their heads one by one, their steps were brisk, but the tray in their hands was steady and steady, without making the slightest sound. Yuxue stared curiously at the blue and white porcelain bowl on the tray, and even sniffed hard, not guessing what was inside.

Mrs. Lu sat at the top and nodded to the housekeeper's mother. The housekeeper's mother waved her hand to the little girl behind her, and the little girls rushed in. He placed the bowl in front of everyone and removed the lid from it.

Mrs. Lu said with a smile: "This is a dessert that I made up when I had nothing to do, chrysanthemum jelly." Now is also the season of chrysanthemum appreciation, which can be regarded as the right time. Let's try it. ”

When Yuxue heard Mrs. Lu's words, her eyes widened, and she stretched her neck to look inside the greenhouse. Coincidentally, looking over from her position, she happened to see Lan Xin's seat. I saw three pale yellow chrysanthemums floating on the crystal clear "soup" in the porcelain-white bowl. Not to mention eating, just looking at this appearance is mouth-watering.

"Wow, that's beautiful!"

"Mrs. Lu is so brilliant! ”

"Yes, yes, I can't bear to start such a beautiful treat. ”

There was no accident, when the bowl lid was opened, the chrysanthemum jelly was well received by everyone. Mrs. Lu was praised by everyone, smiled, waved her hand and said, "No matter how beautiful things are, they are just a meal, let's try it." ”

Lan Xin pinched the silver spoon handed over by Ziyi, gently scooped a spoonful, and put it in his mouth to sip. Refreshing, sweet floral with a faint aroma of wine, Lan Xin guessed that there should be wine in it, as for what kind of wine, she couldn't taste it.

Yuxue saw that Lan Xin only ate two small bites, so she put down the silver spoon, and her heart jumped to her feet, how could such a good thing be put down after tasting two bites? This is too wasteful.

Yuxue's gaze was so revealing that Lan couldn't ignore it, so he picked up the neatly folded handkerchief on the corner of the table and pressed the corner of his mouth. He glanced at her lightly, hoping that she would know how to restrain herself.

Ziyi whispered: "It's really shameless and skinless! I don't know how Mrs. Lu arranged it, she actually let her come in to serve, and she was still standing opposite the girl, isn't this a ・・・・・・ for the girl?" She hung her head and stepped back to the side in a modest manner.

Yuxue watched the exquisite dishes come up, but those ladies and girls only tasted a few bites and then withdrew. I thought to myself: When the banquet is dispersed later, I don't know if I can give them a taste. It would be nice if I could take one or two with you.

Seeing Lan Xin smiling and talking to the people around her, Mrs. Lu said a few words to her from time to time, and even Mrs. Lu kept beckoning her to eat. I felt sad for a while. The purple cloth stood behind her, smiling, and methodically serving Lan Xin's meal. The tacit understanding between the master and servant made her eyes hot. She knew that Ziyi was a good one, and she wanted to keep her by her side in the first place.

Remembering that her plan at that time was disrupted, Yuxue felt a burst of resentment in her heart, but she couldn't tell who she wanted to resent specifically.

After the feast, the people of the Lu Mansion came over to put refreshments, and the red sleeves came in to take the place of the purple clothes. Yuxue looked at Lan Xin, who was holding the tea bowl and smiling, and then looked at Mrs. Lu who was sitting on it, her eyes turned, and her mind became lively.

Someone got up to say goodbye to Mrs. Lu, and Lan Xin got up and walked out with everyone. When Mrs. Mu came over today, she specially gave Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu a glass mirror each, so Mrs. Lu wanted to leave Mrs. Mu to sit for a while.

Lan Xin walked to the carriage, and just as he was about to get into the carriage, he heard someone shouting, "Big sister!"
