Chapter 576 Brands
The West Hall has been paying attention to the movement of the East Hall, and after seeing that the people in the East Hall have walked out, Qi Qiong said: "Cousin, they went to play in the Merlin, let's not go outside to join in the fun, it's very cold outside, let's play the leaf card here." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Zhen Ling'er Zhen Shu'er often listened to her grandmother's mother's ear at home, this Jia family's eldest cousin is a demon king of the world, and the eighth aunt can't control it at all, she doesn't learn well at a young age, and she doesn't learn what she should learn or shouldn't learn The messy things outside have been learned ten out of ten, and you must avoid it when you meet.
Therefore, after Jia Hao's voice came out from the East Hall, it was quiet here, and it was not until the footsteps went away that the Zhen sisters breathed a sigh of relief and smiled silently at each other.
Qi Qiong was also very annoyed with Jia Hao, and she was in a better mood after being quiet over there, so she asked the maid to set the table.
Qi Sile's least favorite thing when she had a party in Jiangnan was that those ladies had to compose poems and drink tea whenever they got together, she didn't know how to compose poems and the words were average, so she didn't like those parties the most. Unexpectedly, the county lord was in line with her mind today, and finally didn't let people take out the embroidery frame or books, but she was annoyed by the first few times she accompanied Qi Qiong to embroider and read books.
"The four of us just got together at the same table, Cousin Ling and Cousin Shu can play, right?"
Zhen Ling'er and Zhen Shu'er nodded slightly, and Sister Ling'er said in a low voice: "My sister and I have made cards with my grandmother at home, but we are often disliked by my grandmother. β
Qi Sile laughed and said: "It doesn't matter, we sisters don't play big with each other, just pass the time, don't worry." β
Qi Qiong's eyes flashed, and she glanced at Qi Sile, "Does my cousin often play leaf cards?
Qi Sile raised his chin slightly, "I don't play often just to pass the time with my grandmother, I can win a needle and thread, hehe." β
Qi Qiong pursed her lips and smiled, "We are still in the boudoir, but we are not interested in playing with money, or the mother concubine will talk about me if she finds out." β
Qi Sile's face changed, "If you don't play with money, what kind of fun are you playing, let's not play big, the bottom of ten copper plates, five taels of silver can play all day." β
Qi Qiong raised her eyebrows, this Qi Sile's tone is very big, as far as she knows, the monthly silver that Zhen Fu gave to the two cousins is only ten taels a month, and she is only twenty taels of silver, and it is not a big deal to win or lose five taels of silver in a game, and the hands of the seven aunts are quite loose.
"My cousins and I haven't played with our own money before, but it's the first time I'm playing with my cousin today, so let's play with the bottom of two copper plates. β
The Zhen sisters nodded, "Just the bottom of the two copper plates." β
Three to one, Qi Sile had to pout and accept it helplessly.
The four of them sat down in turn, Qi Qiong and Qi Sile sat opposite, at first Qi Qiong thought how powerful Qi Sile was, but after two laps, Qi Qiong secretly pouted, how confident this person was to set the bottom of ten copper plates.
The Zhen sisters were also highly concentrated at the beginning, but later they became more and more relaxed.
Qi Sile slapped his face longer and longer, his eyes kept turning on Qi Qiong's faces, and he secretly hated himself. These three people just deliberately watched her make a mess, saying that they would not be able to play, but the result was that these three people took turns to win, and she lost two hundred copper plates out, if you play according to your own chips, this will all output one or two silver.
Qi Qiong endured it, and after the cards were thrown out of his arm again, he slowly put the cards down, "It's not early, why don't we go to the garden to meet the mother and concubine, it's too long to burn charcoal here." β
The Zhen sisters had been sitting on pins and needles for a long time, and as soon as they heard Qi Qiong's words, they deducted the cards in their hands, "Exactly, let's go out and breathe." β
Qi Sile looked at the copper coins in front of her, and didn't want to go out, but the three of them didn't want to fight, and she couldn't force her to stay alone, not to mention that she felt that her luck today was extremely bad, and she couldn't go out and take a turn to transfer. Thinking like this, he agreed, "Okay, let's go out for a turn, let's put the money here and don't move, and we will come back to continue, as for this plate, forget it, let the maid get the deck again." β
Qi Qiong raised her eyebrows, glanced at the table and got up, and made up her mind not to play cards with Qi Sile in the afternoon, this person's cards are too bad.
Soon after the four girls walked out, they met Qi Jue and his party who came back, Brother Xuan'er saw Qi Qiong's eyes at the front, and the smile on his face was a little gentler, and the two pairs of people greeted each other.
Qi Jue asked, "Sister, where are you going?"
"We're thinking about going to meet the concubines. β
"My father has returned home, and my mother and concubine are about to come, and I am about to invite my grandmother over. β
Qi Qiong turned around when she heard this, "Then I'll go with my second brother." β
So a group of young girls went to the Plum Courtyard together, the imperial concubine had already prepared, and when she saw so many handsome and beautiful women, her eyes narrowed happily, "I was about to go out, and you guys came over." It's rare to have a lot of free time today, you brothers and sisters can play together and have fun, and there is not much time to get together like this on weekdays, so how can it be wasted on my old woman. β
Zhen Xuan stepped forward to help the Empress Dowager and walked out, "Empress Dowager, you are too polite, the boys can listen to the teachings in front of you, it is something that you can't ask for, how can it be called a waste, as long as you don't think the boys are making trouble, we will come over to accompany you every day." β
Zhen Xuan stayed in the palace for a while, and Meiyuan also followed the Qi family brothers and was very familiar with the imperial concubine, so he took the initiative to help him.
The imperial concubine naturally knew about the family affair secretly set by Brother Xuan and Sister Qiong, and she was very satisfied with the children, patted the hand holding her elbow, and said with a smile: "Brother Xuan is becoming more and more able to speak, is your grandmother here?"
Brother Xuan nodded, "I'm here early, talk to my aunt." The boy will accompany you to the water pavilion first, maybe grandmother and they have already arrived. β
"Good, good. β
Before I arrived at the water pavilion, I saw a group of women walking towards me, "The Empress Dowager, my grandmother welcomes you." β
The two passers-by collided together, and it was another cold noise, and then they entered the Qingyi Water Pavilion together.
As soon as noon arrived, the delicacies of the mountains and seas flowed on the desk, and it took more than an hour to complete this rich and extremely rich lunch.
Qi Sile rubbed her bulging belly, the expression in her eyes changed, she had eaten several times in the Rongwang Mansion before, but she only felt that the food in the Wangfu was a little more exquisite than her home, and she thought that the Rongwang Mansion was nothing more than that.
But today, it seems that she underestimated Rongwangfu, or that Rongwangfu underestimated her. Otherwise, why didn't you see such pomp when you received her before?
Qi Sile was trapped in his own mood, but he forgot that today's feast was a banquet for everyone in the Zhen family, and it was the first meal in the New Year for Princess Rong's family to feast on her mother's family.
