The south side of the Fortune Building is different from the north side, the north side is a real private room, while the south side is separated by a screen. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoToday is a family gathering, and Mrs. Rong Lu ordered that part of the screen be withdrawn, and only a screen was used in the middle, so that everyone would be very spacious when they sat together.
Mrs. Rong, Rong Zhen and Rong Zhu entertained the female dependents of the Zhou family, while Rong Jing greeted the second master, the third master and several young masters of the Zhou family on the other side of the screen.
Today's banquet is very rich, with big dishes such as Buddha jumping over the wall and eight treasure ducks, as well as rare desserts such as auspicious fruit and lotus leaf soup. What's even more rare is that everyone has their favorite dishes in front of them, obviously Mrs. Rong Lu has put a lot of effort into this set of dishes, and inquired very clearly about the preferences of everyone in the Zhou family.
"Haha!" Mrs. Zhou never closed her mouth from the moment she sat on the table, and her heart was really happy and comfortable, so the laughter was extraordinarily loud. Mrs. Rong smiled and entertained the old lady and the Liu family. Rong Zhen smiled and laughed with Lan Xin and the others, even Rong Zhu was exceptionally well-behaved tonight.
In short, after a meal, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves happily.
After the banquet, Mrs. Rong's Lu celebrity brought tea and fruit snacks, and everyone sat together to drink tea and chat. Lu is a sociable person, as long as she is willing, she will definitely coax people to close her mouth. Her voice was unhurried and unhurried, her voice was crisp and soft, and the things she talked about were all anecdotes, and everyone in the room was smiling, and from time to time there was a pleasant laugh.
Lan Xin and Rong Zhen sat in front of the window, eating tea fruits and enjoying the scenery of the street.
It was already hour, the sky was getting darker, and the lanterns on the street were slowly increasing. Looking upstairs, it looks like a little star is twinkling, and it's so beautiful!
It was getting darker and darker, and the lanterns were getting brighter and brighter. The streets are also getting more and more lively, with people admiring the lanterns, people buying lanterns, and those tempting snacks······ Looking at the bustling street, Lan Xin couldn't sit still, she preferred to participate in it than watching it from a distance. She swept around the private room, and had to suppress the impulse. No matter what, it's hard for her to take the lead. When I looked at the lights again, I was a little excited.
"Madam, Miss Fang heard that Miss Zhou is upstairs. She sent the maid next to her to ask, can she invite Miss Zhou to enjoy the lanterns together?" Peony came in and whispered back.
Lan Xin couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he felt that Fang Ning's appearance was too opportune.
Mrs. Zhou is a person who doesn't care about anything, as long as she has her own food and drink, and the rest of the things, even if the sky falls, she doesn't care about it. Wang and Li subconsciously looked at Liu, but Liu was drinking tea with his head down.
Lu covered his mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "I am so happy to see the old lady today, I forgot the hour when I spoke." I don't think these little ones should be confined here, just let them go out for a walk! After speaking, he quietly gave Rong Zhen a look, and the meaning was obvious. Let her act at the opportunity and have a good relationship with the girl of the Fang family.
Rong Zhen nodded knowingly, and said happily: "Great, thank you, sister! Sister Lan Xin, let's go!" As she spoke, she had already pulled Lan Xin up from the chair.
Lan Xin got up and looked at Liu. Liu pressed the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said slowly: "Since this is the case, you can go and play." ”
The disgust in Lu's eyes flashed, and he smiled and told them to pay attention to something, telling Peony that they must serve several girls, and grabbed Rong Zhu, who was going to follow.
Lan Xin smiled and said, "Thank you, mother, thank you, aunt, we will pay attention." Sister Zhu, when my sister comes back, I'll bring you a beautiful lamp, okay? What kind of lanterns do you like?" Seeing Rong Zhu sitting there with her mouth pouted, Lan Xin was a little unhappy.
Rong Zhu felt Lu's gaze and knew that he couldn't be willful. Raising his head and saying to Lan Xin seriously, "Don't forget that sister, I like fish-shaped lanterns." ”
Seeing Rong Zhu speak, Lan Xin's heart was half relieved, and he promised with a smile: "Put it down, my sister won't forget it, and I will definitely pick a beautiful lantern to come back." Lan Xin knew that the Lu clan asked Rong Zhen to go out to Fang Ning, but she couldn't favor one over the other, "What about Yuxue and Evian, don't you go down for a walk?"
Yuxue was a little moved, even if she didn't look at the lights, it would be good to get to know Miss Fang. However, her body has not been cool for the past few days, and her lower abdomen has a faint pain, so she refused: "I won't go down, if it's convenient for the big sister, bring me a lotus lantern back." ”
"Okay. Then you can rest upstairs. Lan Xin naturally wouldn't refuse, "What about you, Evian?"
"Don't go!" Evian decisively refused, his eyes looked at the figure opposite through the screen, and sighed faintly, "The street is crowded, what is there to see?
"Oh well. Lan Xin didn't force it, and lowered his eyelids to block the complicated look under his eyes.
"Hehe, there are people coming and going on the street today, and it is inevitable that there will be some small people. Lu said in a gentle voice, and shouted to the other side, "Brother Jing." ”
"Yes, mother. Rong Jing hurriedly stood up, obviously keeping an eye on the situation here, "The child will definitely take care of his younger sisters." I just wonder if a few brothers would like to go out for a walk together?"
Zhou Wentao and Zhou Wenlin naturally had no opinion, and nodded in agreement.
"I'll go too!" Evian shouted as she stood up in a panic.
Lu's brows furrowed slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at Lan Xin, who was wearing a cloak.
Lan Xin's face was indifferent, and he said half-seriously and half-jokingly: "Then you have to hurry, it's late, we won't wait for you." ”
Evian rushed over in three steps and two steps, and didn't need to stretch out his hand. He grabbed his cloak, draped it on his body haphazardly, tied it three times and two times, turned the screen and ran out. This series of actions was done in one go, and it was even faster than Lan Xin and the others going out.
"Hahaha, these three girls were really scared by her sister. Mrs. Zhou slapped her face and laughed.
The third lady Li knew that the big house was in full swing today, and she should be a person with her tail between her legs, and used the teacup she held up to block the disdain at the corner of her mouth. The second lady, Wang, looked at the screen, then at Lan Xin, lowered her eyelids to block the light in her eyes, and pretended to drink tea. Liu's expression is much simpler, he looks like his own child, everything is good.
It wasn't until Lan Xin and Rong Zhen also stepped out of the screen that Lu lowered his raised eyebrows and shook his head with complicated eyes.
When Lan Xin and Rong Zhen turned out of the screen, the door of the private room on the north side opened, and Lu Sheng walked out with slightly drunken eyes, looking at the slim Lan Xin, his eyes were stunned, and his eyes were incredulous.
