The old mansions of the Xia and Chen pavilions are now in full swing, and Jingyuan Houfu has always had the intention of making friends. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Putting this layer aside, just relying on the handkerchief relationship between the Liu family and Mrs. Shen for many years, it is categorical that they can't lose the face of their good sisters in the details.

This pair of hairpins is priceless, and the Liu family has been preparing for a long time, just waiting to give it to the Chen sisters as a meeting gift. Unexpectedly, it will be delayed again and again, and it will be useful today.

Lu Shi naturally had the same thoughts, holding the hands of Chen Zhihua and Chen Yinghua sisters, and praised them again and again, from appearance to temperament, and praised Murong Ling again and again for his good fortune, with such a pair of sisters by his side.

Lu Shi took down the two gold and honey bracelets on his wrist, handed one to Chen Yinghua, and the other wiped Chen Zhihua's wrist with his own hand, the smile on his face was loving and close: "The two girls are dignified and magnificent, and they follow her mother, which makes people look happy." A little meeting gift is my intention as an elder, and it is a little thinner. ”

The elders give it, and it is impossible to say goodbye.

The color of the long hairpin and this honey bracelet is one in a hundred, and the two sisters know that it is a treasure when they look at each other. Chen Zhihua and her sister looked at each other and understood each other's intentions.

The two generously accepted the gifts, and saluted and thanked the two ladies. That is, he did not feel panic because of the noble gift, and he did not show a trace of joy because of the things outside his body. It seems to be a verdant bamboo outside the window, and the bones are flexible and strong.

The two sisters sat down, chatted a few words with each other, and politely added tea for the two ladies, and then calmly said goodbye and walked out of the door indifferently.

The grace that permeated from the poetry and etiquette was like a blooming flower, light and silent, and it was already integrated with the temperament of the two sisters. The generous and not humble and arrogant bearing fell into the eyes of the two ladies, adding some appreciation, and also amazed the vision of the old mansion of Xia Ge.

Although the two governments like each other, they are always reserved as their daughters. A few people got back to business, and Murong Ling said tactfully: "The marriage is a major event, and the parents' orders are the words of the matchmaker." As a matter of my daughter's life, the two ladies allowed me to consult with her father, and asked them to come back in a few days. ”

It's a self-respecting identity, and the two ladies are both from the past, so there's no reason why they don't understand. Liu leisurely played with a jade ring on his ring finger, and said with a soft smile: "What Madame said is exact, which of us mothers does not want our children to rely on for life, and we must be cautious about marriage matters, so naturally we should listen to what Chen Ge Lao means." ”

The guests and hosts had a very happy conversation, and after revealing this topic, they casually talked about the customs and customs of Beijing and some old things that have accumulated over the years. The two ladies spoke wittily, and Murong Ling interjected a few words from time to time, and a few people who were not familiar with each other became closer the more they talked.

It was almost noon, and the golden sunlight screened the windows, and the warm pavilion looked particularly warm.

Liu personally came over to invite him, said a blessing to everyone with a smile, and said softly: "There is a banquet in the flower hall, and I don't know if it suits the taste of the two ladies. ”

The girl led the way, and several people walked through the hall, along the hand-copying verandah all the way to the flower hall, and smelled a warm fragrance before entering the door. It turned out that the Liu family ordered someone to sew the sachet, put the chrysanthemums and orange peels in it, and smoked it with a smoked cage, and the fragrance hit the face, which was elegant and refreshing.

The Chen family adheres to the ancestral family education, and a porridge and a meal are not easy to come by, and the vegetarian diet is very simple.

Today, in order to entertain guests, Liu arranged for someone to buy anchovy stew soup in advance. In addition to this big dish, plus a roast duck with eight-treasure puff pastry, the rest is just mushrooms and beans, and there are not many expensive things, but the dishes are new and ingenious, and the combination is appropriate, which is pleasing to the eye.

After the meal, each person has a small pineapple cup, digging fresh pineapples into a flower basket, leaving two green leaves, and then loading pineapples and melons cut into balls, garnished with a red fruit, pouring a spoonful of home-brewed strawberry jam on top, and a few glutinous rice balls.

Lu loves to eat pineapples, but on weekdays he is limited to slicing and soaking in salt water, this fresh method is the first time I have seen it. She tasted it, and felt that the aroma of pineapple blended with the jam, and several fruits were combined, and the mouth was so fragrant that she was immediately full of praise.

Pointing to the fruit plate, Lu Shi and Murong Ling smiled and said: "The plate of red bean pancake that was entertained today, as well as this pineapple cup, are not uncommon things to look at, and Mrs. Bisheng's mansion can make different flavors." I had to ask my wife for advice on how to make it delicious and ingenious. ”

Knowing that the dishes and fruits were all purchased by the Liu family, the Lu family's words clearly praised the Liu family's Hui quality and blue heart, and Murong Ling listened to it in his ears, naturally and honorably.

She looked at Liu Shi and smiled approvingly, and said to Lu Shi: "Don't hide it from the two of you, because our husband and wife eat less meat, this child is only afraid that we will eat too lightly, and he always changes his tricks to adjust and make some fresh things, but he coaxes us to eat more." ”

Liu was amazed, and sighed softly: "Such a virtuous daughter-in-law, this is really a blessing for the lady."

Liu smiled lightly, saluted the two ladies, and replied softly: "It's not worth anything, I ordered a recipe to be written in the kitchen and presented to the grandmother beside the lady." The things there are added or subtracted according to their tastes, and Madame may order them to change them as they see fit, and there is no certainty. ”

really copied the recipe to the grandmother who followed the two ladies with the car, and the Liu family was gentle and atmospheric from beginning to end, and how similar they were to the Chen sisters in their gestures.

After an exquisite lunch, the guests and hosts will be happy. Everyone changed their clothes and moved to the warm pavilion to serve tea, and Brother Sheng also came to meet the guests with his mother Liu.

Seeing the boy's cute appearance, the two ladies praised them for a while, and each took two pairs of champions and gold as a meeting gift.

It was not easy to come to the diving mansion, although the business was almost done, the two ladies did not say goodbye. Murong Ling observed the words and looks, and also knew some rumors in the market, so he personally accompanied the two ladies to visit the garden.

Due to geographical limitations, the gardens of the old Shilang's Mansion are very small, and one of the ponds is even more exquisite, connected to three workshop-style water pavilions, like ancient rattan tree houses.

Now that summer is going to autumn solstice, a leaf of frost dyes yellow flowers, and the thick vines are missing some purple and red, only a lush green, crawling with a few ancient trees that serve as beams and pillars and pavilion roofs.

The two ladies looked inside, even the tables, chairs, and cups in the small water pavilion were all made of boxwood, which was in the same vein as the ancient vines and old trees, not like artificial carving, but seemed to be a natural scenery, and they couldn't help but stop and watch.

Murong Qia explained good-naturedly: "In the past, His Majesty personally designed and ordered craftsmen to build this place, which was originally a good place to cool off in summer. We moved in, couldn't bear to change it for half a minute, and still kept it as it was. ”
