Chapter 182: Prevarication (1st Update)
"Miss, Mrs. Xue has led Miss Xue to the gate, and Mrs. Liu also sent someone to report the news, saying that it will be there in half an hour at most. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Mama Qin stood behind Gao Linhua, combing her hair while saying, now, the genius is bright, and the two ladies are almost there.
Gao Linhua was choosing a pearl flower in her hand, and when she heard what Mama Qin said, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, looking at the hour, Mrs. Xue was still half a quarter of an hour early, and Mrs. Liu stepped on the hour.
"Aunt Gu has gone to greet the two ladies?"
Mama Qin's face was a little worried, "Miss, I went to go, but I looked at Aunt Gu's expression, it wasn't a safe place." ā
"I know!"
Gao Linhua looked back at Mama Qin, "Aunt Gu's life has been mostly smooth, but now that she has married into our family, she has suffered setbacks everywhere, and she naturally can't be separated, and the grasshoppers after the autumn will always have to stumble." ā
Gu Yunniang was originally the daughter of the head of Guiling Mountain, and later the head of Guiling Mountain, and in her life, I am afraid that she has never bowed her head to a few people.
But after coming to their house, her father did not like her, and did not go to her room so far, and although he did not embarrass her, he was not enthusiastic, and she was respectful to herself according to the rules.
For a woman who has always been in a strong position, such a life is bound to be difficult and unwilling.
Therefore, Gu Yunniang must be restless, and this time, she also specially asked Gu Yunniang to greet the two ladies.
"Miss, I see that Lily is by Aunt Gu's side, and it is a bit overkill, why don't you bring Lily back and change to another girl?"
Lily is a girl carefully trained by Wu Siqi, better than Chunlan Hanlan or something, more than a little better, putting such a girl by Aunt Gu's side, Mama Qin always feels uneasy.
"Mama is worried about Lily? If she really fell to Aunt Gu, then she ......" Gao Linhua didn't finish speaking, and the corners of her mouth hooked.
Even if Lily is loyal to herself, she can't get rid of the fact that she was sent by Wu Siqi.
If she dared to betray herself and fall to Aunt Gu, even if she didn't do it, Wu Siqi would not be able to tolerate Lily.
If Lily can't see this clearly, what's the use of such a person coming?
"Mama, hurry up, although I asked Aunt Gu to go out to greet me, I still have to go early, I can't let the two ladies wait for a long time."
When Gao Linhua passed, Gu Yunniang was standing humbly in front of the two ladies, she didn't know what to say, her eyes were red, and when she saw Gao Linhua coming in, she quickly wiped a handful of tears.
Gao Linhua glanced at Gu Yunniang thoughtfully, but she was also veiled, and she couldn't see her expression clearly, only those red eyes, which seemed to make people see something.
"Linhua has seen Mrs. Xue, Mrs. Liu," Gao Linhua didn't care about Gu Yunniang, and after meeting the two ladies, she said to Miss Xue who was standing next to Mrs. Xue, "I've seen Sister Xue." ā
Mrs. Xue hurriedly stood up, walked up to Gao Linhua, and took her hands, "I'll call you Sister Hua!" What a likable person, up so early? Ready for breakfast? Don't starve yourself because we're here. ā
Gao Linhua nodded, "I invited the two ladies so early today, how dare Linhua get up late?" I just went to the kitchen again to take a look, so I was late. ā
Although she was just inviting some ladies and young ladies to a small banquet, she could eat or something, Gao Linhua still did her best as she could, especially when Mrs. Yixuan was coming over, how dare she relax.
When she was talking to Mrs. Xue, Mrs. Liu looked at Gao Linhua carefully, at a young age, she saw the two older ladies, but she was generous, although the veil on her face covered her face, but the confidence between her words was also moving.
Mrs. Liu's gaze swept over Gu Yunniang, who was standing awkwardly on the side, and chuckled, this woman, the play is good.
"You don't know, because I suddenly knew that Mrs. Yixuan was coming over, and the recipe I originally set made the kitchen all changed, and they were tired these days."
Nowadays, for example, a chicken soup with simmered bamboo shoots has to be boiled for several hours with the boss's pheasant, and then the chicken soup is used to simmer the bamboo shoots, and a dish is ready, and it takes a whole day.
Because of Mrs. Yixuan, although Gao Linhua did not change the dishes, she also added a lot in the end, which really made the kitchen people busy.
"You, how can you think so thoughtfully, but the Beijing cuisine added? Mrs. Yixuan should not have been back to Beijing for a few years, and she will be happy if you let the kitchen cook Beijing food. ā
Mrs. Xue looked at Gao Linhua with satisfaction, whether it was to ask her and Mrs. Liu to come over to accompany her, or to let the kitchen change the dishes, Gao Linhua did a good job and was very thoughtful.
"As long as I don't displease Mrs. Yixuan, I will be happy."
What Gao Linhua didn't say was that although she had only met Mrs. Yixuan once, she could already see a lot of things from Mrs. Yixuan's residence.
Such an exquisite temple was specially built for her, so how could Mrs. Yixuan's food be made by the people of Fengxiang Mansion? It must also be a cook specially brought from Beijing.
The reason why Gao Linhua added Beijing cuisine was not to make Mrs. Yixuan smile, but because she was afraid that Mrs. Yixuan would not have a place to put her chopsticks at that time.
"If Mrs. Yixuan arrives in a while, please ask the two ladies to go up and talk to Mrs. Yixuan, don't let irrelevant people displease Mrs. Yixuan. I will entertain other guests, and Aunt Gu will take care of the kitchen and the table. ā
"As long as we accompany Mrs. Yixuan? Is there anything else you can help with? Mrs. Liu, who had not spoken since Gao Linhua entered the house, suddenly said.
In her opinion, Gao Linhua is still a girl, and Aunt Gu is clearly uninteresting, and she is really worried that these two people will hold the whole small banquet.
Although it is a small banquet, most of the ladies and ladies of Fengxiang Mansion will come over, and there are a lot of them.
"That's right, miss, where did the slave take care of the kitchen? So many dishes! Aunt Gu also said aggrievedly on the side, and there was a kind of unwilling beating in the depths of her eyes.
Why did she go to a smoky place like the kitchen, but Gao Linhua could entertain guests in bright clothes outside?
"Actually, it's okay for Mrs. Xue to accompany Mrs. Yixuan alone, why don't I go to the kitchen to help watch it, Aunt Gu is young and hasn't gone through these things yet." Seeing this, Mrs. Liu took the initiative to ask for help.
Gao Linhua thanked Mrs. Liu, but did not agree, but looked at Aunt Gu, "Since Aunt Can't take care of the kitchen, stay with me to entertain guests, as for the kitchen, I'll just let Mama Qin keep an eye on it." ā
When Aunt Gu heard this, she was overjoyed, but she didn't notice that there was a hint of banter in the eyes of Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Liu.
