Chapter 109: Sour
Seeing that Rong Chenghan finished the apprenticeship ceremony, Prince Yongjing chatted with Liu Er and others for a few more words, and then excused himself and left. Rong Chenghan was stayed, and at noon, the second master Liu wanted to set up a small banquet to entertain Rong Chenghan.
After sending off Prince Yongjing, Second Master Liu took Rong Chenghan to the study, and Master Liu and Third Master Liu also accompanied him. Mrs. Liu wanted to go back to the backyard, and Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu Ruoxi accompanied Mrs. Liu.
When they arrived at Mrs. Liu's courtyard, Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu/Grandma, Liu Ruoyuan, Liu Ruojuan, Liu Ruoshan, as well as the eldest sister, second sister and Daguan'er all came out. When everyone entered the house, they first served Mrs. Liu to take off her makeup, put on homely clothes, and the little girls put on refreshments, and everyone accompanied Mrs. Liu to talk.
"It's rare for the old prince to come, why didn't he stay to eat. The daughters-in-law still thought that they must have to keep food. Mrs. Liu said to Mrs. Liu.
"The old prince is now the Dinghai Divine Needle of the imperial court," Mrs. Liu said with a smile, King Yongjing's age is only slightly younger than Mrs. Liu, but the title is there, and when she sees Mrs. Liu, she is not willing to take it at all, and she is polite to Mrs. Liu, and praises the late Mrs. Liu, which makes Mrs. Liu very happy. "It's unthinkable to be able to take the time to come to our house."
King Yongjing did not stay, but Rong Chenghan stayed.
"You'll prepare the menu in a moment, show it to me. There are a few dishes in my small kitchen that I am quite good at, although I dare not say that they are comparable to the banquet given by the emperor, and there is not much difference. When the time comes, tell them to do it well. Although it is said that he worshiped the second master as a teacher and entertained the little prince, it should not be slow. Mrs. Liu specially instructed Mrs. Liu to be very kind.
Mrs. Liu got up and agreed.
"The daughter-in-law can't make up her mind, and the old lady has to make the decision." Mrs. Liu said with a smile.
"Well, you do. Show it to me, and naturally you will have to consider it for you. Mrs. Liu was also quite satisfied with Mrs. Liu's attitude.
Rong Chenghan worshipped the second master Liu as his teacher, and said that he would come to Liu's house to study and ask for advice in the future. In the long run, I am not afraid that the old prince will not come again. Although the Liu family is a clear stream, it can have a close relationship with the Yongjing Palace, and for the prestige of the Liu family, several children who are now officials in the court, as well as grandchildren. That's a big benefit, of course.
"Old lady, how can you hold a small banquet, not a big banquet?" Mrs. Liu San hurriedly asked. Now that she is in charge of the kitchen, Mrs. Liu snatched her words, looking like the consul general's housework, which made Mrs. Liu a little displeased.
"It's a small banquet, only placed in the courtyard of the second master." Mrs. Liu said, "It's the little prince's request, and he doesn't want to disturb us too much." …… It's a long time coming. ”
Put it this way. That is, it can't be changed.
"If you want anything to use, just send someone to tell me, and if you don't have it, let someone buy it at once." Mrs. Liu San said to Mrs. Liu with a smile.
Here they were discussing the matter of setting up a feast for a while. Liu Ruoxi had already been pulled to the side by Liu Ruoshan on the short kang and asked about seeing King Yongjing and Rong Chenghan just now. Liu Ruoxi also said it all, and her tone was light. Although she was very dissatisfied with Rong Chenghan's apprenticeship, it was not easy to show such emotions in front of Liu Ruoshan.
The two of them were talking over here. Liu Ruoyuan also took Liu Ruojuan to follow, and after listening to what Liu Ruojuan said, Liu Ruoyuan snorted from her nose. Seems rather disdainful.
"It is said that the old prince is such a hero, the pillar of the court, I think, it is nothing more than that."
"What do you mean by that?" Liu Ruoshan raised her eyebrows. Whatever Liu Ruoyuan approves, Liu Ruoshan will oppose. And if Liu Ruoyuan is against it, then Liu Ruoshan will definitely agree. Listening to Liu Ruoyuan's tone, Liu Ruoshan had already automatically stood on the side of King Yongjing.
Liu Ruoyuan also looked at Liu Ruoyuan, wanting to hear what she had to say.
"It's a shame that he's still a prince, and I don't know such a courtesy." Liu Ruoyuan glanced at Liu Ruoyuan obliquely, "If you want to see the people in the family, you naturally have to pay attention to the elders and the young." didn't call us, but called the third sister to go. Besides, after all, he is a male guest, and if he wants to meet the younger generations of the family, he should also teach the eldest brother and the younger brother to go. ”
Speaking of this, it seems that Liu Yuhai and others are all studying in Zongxue, while Liu Yujiang is running errands outside and is not at home.
"Even if you're not at home, just send someone to call it."
"Hee-hee." Liu Ruoshan smiled, pointed at Liu Ruoyuan's nose, and shy Liu Ruoyuan, "It turns out that the eldest sister is jealous and jealous." Dressed in vain, I want to go to the front to meet the old prince and the little prince, but unfortunately, people don't want to see you at all. No, people don't even know that you are a person! Now I'm here to sour the third sister, why didn't I say that when I was dressed up at that time! ”
Liu Ruoshan said a few words about Liu Ruoyuan's true illness. Liu Ruoyuan was annoyed, and her face turned red.
"You mean I, you're not the same?"
"How can I be the same as the big sister," Liu Ruoshan had the upper hand, not annoyed at all, and deliberately hugged Liu Ruoxian's arm and made an intimate appearance to show Liu Ruoyuan, "The third sister saw it, and it was the same as when I saw it." I am not like you, but I hope that none of the sisters can match you, and you will be happy. Whoever gets a little good, you feel uncomfortable. But who is that! ”
Liu Ruoshan said, and gave Liu Ruoyuan a blank look.
They became emotional, and their voices were a little loud, and Mrs. Liu heard them on the couch.
"You little sisters, don't make a noise." Old Mrs. Liu rushed to this side and said, "The old prince came today to take the little prince to apprentice, and he worshipped the father of the third girl." The old prince wants to see the three girls, that is the father of the three girls, this is the place where the old prince knows the etiquette. ”
Mrs. Liu's extraneous meaning is that the second master Liu only has Liu Ruoxi's daughter, and the old prince wants to see her, of course, he can only see her. If Liu Ruoxi still has a brother, it will be different. Of course, some people may think that even so, King Yongjing can also ask Liu Er's nephew, Liu Ruoxi's cousin, to come out to meet. But King Yongjing did not do this.
It can be seen that King Yongjing is very reasonable and not so confined to pedantic and secular people.
In many things, King Yongjing is indeed such a person, and it is commendable, King Yongjing does not underestimate women. It's just that in some other things, King Yongjing has some insistences that ordinary people don't have, and even can't understand.
For example, in Rong Chenghan, of course, these are now, as outsiders, they can't see it. Only by knowing the people in the palace can you know what King Yongjing thinks.
Mrs. Liu spoke, Liu Ruoyuan muttered a few words, and did not continue to dwell on this issue.
“…… I couldn't see anything, only a bearded face, like a wild man. I think it's too ugly, so cover it with a beard. Liu Ruoyuan actually laughed at Rong Chenghan, it seems that if this is the case, it can hit Liu Ruohan.
Some people say that Rong Chenghan is not good, and Liu Ruoxi should be happy, but this person is Liu Ruoyuan, and the purpose is to hit her, Liu Ruoxi frowned, and her mood was quite complicated.
Looking at it from afar, the hearts of the frightened people were beating wildly. The third sister is so close, it's not that she is scared to death. When Liu Ruoyuan saw Liu Ruoyuan frowning, she mistakenly thought that what she said really hurt Liu Ruoxi, and said even more.
"When did the big sister meet...... Little Prince? Liu Ruoxi suddenly asked.
Liu Ruoyuan was suddenly dumbfounded.
Liu Ruoshan covered her mouth and smiled beside her, with a narrow face.
Liu Ruoshan turned her head to look at Liu Ruoshan.
"Our good eldest sister is the most polite and well-behaved person. People didn't ask her to go out to meet, she couldn't bear it, she secretly ran to the front, and she was not afraid of letting people see it, laughing at our Liu family has no rules. The big sister is disgraced, although she loses herself, she always wants to spare us. Liu Ruoshan told Liu Ruoyuan, and stabbed Liu Ruoyuan with words.
Liu Ruoshan glanced at Liu Ruoyuan and knew that Liu Ruoshan's words were not false. She was in the front of the school and didn't see Liu Ruoyuan. I think that although Liu Ruoyuan is bold, she doesn't dare to get too close, but she is afraid that when everyone is sending King Yongjing out, she peeks at Rong Chenghan and King Yongjing from a distance.
"I don't know how the old lady will feel when she knows that the big sister is doing this, and then she hears what the big sister says." Liu Ruoxi smiled.
Liu Ruoshan was reminded, hurriedly got down from the short kang and came to Mrs. Liu's side, so she complained to Mrs. Liu.
Old Lady Liu looked at Liu Ruoyuan's gaze, and she was not so kind.
"The eldest lady is still sick, so she doesn't need to stay here with me. It is to entertain the little prince, there are two wives, three wives, and then a big/grandma, it is enough. …… Take the big girl back, and teach the rules. ”
Liu Ruoyuan looked angry, but it was not easy to attack, so she could only glare at Liu Ruoxi and Liu Ruoshan hatefully, and was taken out by Mrs. Liu. Liu Ruojuan quietly followed behind the two and left.
"It's getting more and more like a ghost." Liu Ruoshan felt that Liu Ruojuan was ghostly, patted her chest and said.
At noon, in the courtyard of Mrs. Liu's second wife, a banquet was set up, and Liu Ruoxi was taken by Mrs. Liu and sat on the banquet. Liu Ruoxi was unwilling, but she thought that letting Rong Chenghan be alone with Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu was afraid that he would please his father and mother even more, and with her watching, at least she could have the bottom in her heart, so she did not refuse.
Liu Yuwen was also sent by the second master Liu to pick him up from the sect and sit with him.
There are not many dishes at a banquet, but each dish is carefully selected. Second Master Liu inquired about Rong Chenghan's good drinking, and specially asked Second Mrs. Liu to dig out a jar of pear blossoms buried under the pear blossom tree in the courtyard. (To be continued......)
