Chapter 292: The Banquet (2)
Just as it takes a lot of time for the Su family to prepare those good things, and it takes time for others to find a good thing that they think can make the Zhou family look at it, an atmosphere of treasure hunting has quietly risen in the capital, and many jewelry and antique shops are doing extremely hot business.
Finally, on the day of the banquet, the weather was clear and cloudless.
Since three days ago, the Zhou family has been busy up and down to prepare for this banquet. Because of Zhou Mao's tacit support, the Yan family and the Su family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law let go of their hands and feet to prepare, making sure that the Zhou family appears to be noble and has extraordinary taste.
The entire back garden from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, even a stone is carefully arranged, and even more, the Su family actually sent someone to go down to the pond to wipe the lotus leaves without a trace of dirt, and also asked people to break the buds of some lotus flowers on the day before the banquet, and every word looked crystal clear, white and flawless.
In this regard, Zhou Huaiyu was extremely speechless, she could only hide in the small courtyard, out of sight and out of mind.
Early in the morning, just after a little light, the Su family sent someone to tell her to get up and dress up, so as to receive today's guests.
When Zhou Huaiyu heard this, he directly asked Yue'er to beat this maid out, and after a while, Su Shi came over in person, and he had already freshened up, which made Zhou Huaiyu roll his eyes, and secretly said Su Shi Mo was not excited all night and didn't sleep!
"Yu'er, why are you so ignorant, the guests who came today are all giving you a dowry, why don't you get up to freshen up? When you were tidying up the backyard before, I won't talk about you when you stand by and watch, because you are busy preparing your wedding dress, but today, if you are still like this, I have to let your grandfather invite you!"
Since Zhou Huaiyu cheated the Su family on the dowry, the Su family understood that Zhou Huaiyu's "kindness" to her before was fake. After Su Shi understood, she regained her previous attitude towards Zhou Huaiyu, even worse than before, a while ago, she just didn't have time to pay attention to her, and after today, she must clean up this dead girl, otherwise she thought that out of this Wu'an Hou Mansion, her mother-in-law would not be able to hold her hostage?
"Mother, I advise you to save your worries, Yu'er is uncomfortable today and is too lazy to move, so it's best not to let anyone come over to disturb me, otherwise everyone will not look good at that time!" Zhou Huaiyu is disgusting with the Zhou family's behavior, which is tantamount to putting her on the shelf, showing her role and value, and then telling others that if you want to get these benefits, then you have to exchange it for money!
She can endure it for so long, just because Zhao Jing told her that the Zhou family is now appreciated by the palace, no matter what method is used, the ending is the same, it is better to use such a method at this time, anyway, those things in the end are also hers! It is equivalent to saying that this banquet, she has gained benefits, and the Zhou family has gained fame.
However, if the Su family really provokes her, then she simply doesn't want these benefits, and the Zhou family doesn't want this name! Even if the palace appreciates the Zhou family, the thoughts of the heavenly family will become at any time, she can not care about it, and she can do anything, but the Zhou family does not dare to bet!
As soon as Su Shi heard Zhou Huaiyu's words, he was so angry that he stepped forward, and then Yue'er immediately stood in front of Zhou Huaiyu, Su Shi paused and pointed at Zhou Huaiyu: "Then you will hide in your small courtyard today, if you come out, see how I treat you!"
Zhou Huaiyu snorted coldly, and Su left angrily.
After such a long time, Zhao Jing finally succeeded last night and made her half the night, so at this time she was weak and didn't want to open her eyes.
After Zhou Huaiyu finally got up to sleep, Yue'er and Xiao Tao waited for her to get acquainted with her, and reported to her the situation that came in.
"The people have already reached seventy-seven, eighty-eight, and there are still male guests, but the male guests are all in the front yard, and they are received by the Hou Ye. ”
"The backyard is already full, and I originally thought that the yard in our house was quite big, but when I looked at it today, it was still too small, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was crowded with people!"
"If it weren't for the slave and maid to stop it, I'm afraid people would have poured into our small courtyard, just now the slave and maid came back from fetching water, and there were a few ladies and young ladies who had to come in to salute the girl, where did the girl need them to salute, so after I kicked them out, I let Xiao Tao lock the door. ”
Yue'er said, Xiao Tao nodded cooperatively, indicating that although what Yue'er said was exaggerated, it was not false, and then she said: "Girl, guess who is the person who is responsible for receiving Mrs. and Miss outside?"
Zhou Huaiyu was stunned for a moment, remembering that the Su family had come earlier to let her be in charge of the reception, and she didn't go, so who did the Su family choose? Zhou Huaiyu only thought about it for a while, and then had the answer: "Is it Su Keke?"
Xiao Tao's eyes immediately widened, and she said in surprise: "Girl, you are really a god, you can guess this!"
Zhou Huaiyu raised his chin and snorted arrogantly, "Girl, my nickname is Zhou Banxian, I can pinch it!"
The two girls laughed, and Yue'er said: "Then Su Keke set up a young lady's score in the Zhou family, and transferred the group commanded by the five girls, and even the young ladies in the second and third rooms came to help." ”
"Are Zhou Yunru and Bai Susu here?" These two things are fine, with such an opportunity to show their faces today, I'm afraid they are already in a hurry.
"The third girl is here, but the white girl is not here. ”
Zhou Huaiyu nodded, it is estimated that the Su family was impatient to see Bai Susu, after all, Bai Susu made the Su family so embarrassed at the beginning, counting the days, Bai Susu has already reached the end of the day, but she was still outside Beijing when Bai Susu was in the past, so I didn't know the situation at that time. The original agreement was to wait for Bai Susu and Lu, Su San will marry Bai Susu into the door, and now the date is approaching, I don't know, what will be the day waiting for Bai Susu, but as she wishes?
"Hmm. ”
The three of them sat in the small courtyard, which was indeed very pleasant, but at noon, they could not continue to hide in the courtyard, they also had to eat. Moreover, this is the Zhou family, as the eldest lady of the Zhou family, how can she hide from people?
Zhou Huaiyu changed into slightly bright clothes, applied light makeup, took the two maids, and walked out of the small courtyard.
Outside, Su Keke wore a reserved smile and walked between the ladies and ladies with ease. Because she knew that she would not be able to get the acceptance of the ladies for the time being, she did not come to them, mainly for the various women who came to curry favor with the Zhou family today.
