Chapter 384: White Porridge
On the day when Lin Yu was seriously entertained, God was very cooperative, and the weather was warm and sunny, but it was not unusual that there was no sunny time these days. And Mrs. Yin's mansion in the capital is also at the level of a mansion, although it can't be compared with the kind of manor like Lanyuan, the area is not small, and it is also a huge piece from the outside, but there are not many people who have been here. After all, Yin Susu had been the wife of the Marquis of Zhenyuan in the Lu family for the past seven years, and after the house here was repaired, she rarely came to live, and even fewer people came to visit.
All the guests came in person and were full of praise for the decoration design and the view of the garden.
"Sure enough, she is an outstanding talented female beauty, and even the house is much more elegant than other houses, not comparable to the daughter of the merchant outbreak." The person who spoke was Mrs. Lu, the aunt of the second prince who was in competition with the third prince.
But today is Lin Yu's happy day, although Lin Yuming has some grudges with the Lu family and the Zhang family in Shuzhong, but for Lin Yu, this is not a very pleasant memory, and it hurts his face to mention it. There was a smart person who diverted the topic, and Mrs. Lu was not a stupid person, so after thinking about it for a while, she understood, glanced at her mouth and did not speak again.
Chinese greetings are all about asking each other if they have eaten, which shows that the culture and tradition of eating have a long history.
"I heard that the good restaurant opened by the lord of Jian Hui's family, have you ever eaten it?" The county lord Jian Hui is Lin Yu's new title, and this title can also slightly see how Lin Yu's impression is in Yuwenji.
"Naturally, I have eaten, and the Lin family restaurant is so famous. Who hasn't eaten it? Another dignitary smiled, "I just don't know if there are any surprising new dishes this time." ”
"Probably yes, her family's business is not famous for its exquisite decoration and distinctive restaurants and very distinctive and innovative dishes." The other guy touched his beard. Xiao Sheng laughed evilly, "It's a pity, I don't even sing a little song to help the fun, but I can ask someone to send the wine and food to the building." ”
This is a well-known playboy, and he is notoriously promiscuous, but he is of high birth, although he is a bit unorthodox to say so. Others still didn't say anything, so they skipped his topic and talked about the dishes of the Lin Family Restaurant. Basically, everybody has been there several times. There are also a few things that I like very much, so there is no obstacle to communicating with each other.
Qingqing and the few little princes who came to help from the Qi Wangfu were all relieved to see this warm and friendly situation.
After all, on this first day, all the people invited were the powerful of the powerful. With Lin Yu's background. Even in the current situation, it is necessary to do it to the best of its ability, so that it can be more easily accepted by these upper classes.
Although they all congratulated him in person today, this was only for the sake of Lin Yu's current reputation, not for the sake of really accepting Lin Yu as a person. These people will evaluate from many details whether Lin Yu has such qualifications to join them and become one of them. From the point of view. Lin Yu did a good job, although the house used for the banquet was Mrs. Yin's. But whether it is the layout of the house itself, or the performance of the servants of the maids, it is remarkable, although it is not very luxurious, but there is no vulgar outburst.
But when the first dish came up, there was an uproar, because the girl in a beautiful dress served only a pot of white porridge, and a bowl was placed in front of everyone. But after waiting for three minutes, there was still nothing but a pot of white porridge, and there was no second course before it came up, and there was an uproar.
You don't really invite yourself to eat white porridge, do you? Even if it is a poor family's treat, they have to cut two catties of meat, kill a chicken, and fry a few dishes of vegetables. This girl of the Lin family donated more than 100,000 taels of silver in one fell swoop, and the family property is hundreds of thousands of taels, so she won't be like this? Invited a group of powerful people to drink porridge from home? It's still white porridge that doesn't put anything.
One person muttered quietly, and everyone else couldn't help muttering, fortunately, this group of guys was still proud of their identity, and they didn't drink, and no one made a big noise, but there were people who grabbed people to inquire, and a few people close to Lin Yu asked them to go to Lin Yu and ask what the situation was.
Some of them were curious and tasted it first, "I'll taste if there is any way in this porridge, maybe I can't say what other ingredients are put in it." ”
As a result, I took a sip and found that it was really ordinary white porridge, and it was ordinary rice, which was completely incomparable with the rouge rice, japonica rice, pearl rice and so on that these powerful people eat on weekdays. After verifying that it was just ordinary white porridge, there was an uproar.
"Are you crazy? Why is there only white porridge on the feast?"
At this time in the backyard, Qingqing grabbed Lin Yu with an anxious face. "Didn't you say everything was laid out? Now what's going on? ”
Qingqing is really crazy, among the guests invited on the first day, there are nine princesses, eleven princes, fourteen county lords, and a group of county lords, princes and other powerful ministers and their wives. Lin Yu made this play, and these people may not make a big fuss on the surface, but they may offend them behind their backs, and it will be difficult to get along well.
Lose your marbles? Lin Yu didn't think so, she had other plans today, and she was not very enthusiastic about integrating into these upper-class aristocratic circles, let alone caring about their opinions.
"No, I remember you asked the kitchen to prepare a mat." Qingqing was crazy for a while, looking at Lin Yu's calm appearance, she calmed down again, and then wondered again, "Then why don't you ask someone to bring out the dishes?" ”
Lin Yu smiled and said his plan in Qingqing's ear, Qingqing's expression slowed down, but he still brought out some disapproval, "You are too risky, your good reputation is already in hand, why bother to regenerate these moths?" Or did your uncle tell you? ”
"Not really, I'll tell you the reason for it." Lin Yu gave Qingqing a reassuring smile, "I'm going to come forward, in case I show up late, it's not good if I really make a fuss." ”
"There's really no way to take you!" Qingqing stomped her feet, although she didn't agree, but now that the wood was in the boat, she could only let Lin Yu come according to her pre-plan. "How can I have a sister like you, how much worry I have to worry about."
Lin Yu smiled and said, "I'm your sweet trouble." ”
"Don't give me sweet words, go to the front and explain it clearly." Qingqing pushed Lin Yu, "I'll ask someone to tell Bai Gongzi, you're so foolish, maybe I'm scared." ”
As Lin Yu's fiancé and a fiancé with excellent appearance, Bai Feiruo also helped organize the banquet this time, which can be regarded as learning, and if he really becomes a county horse in the future, it is impossible not to contact and socialize with people.
It's just that Lin Yu is messing around this time, it seems that he didn't even tell him, he is not from a noble background, and he has not had much contact with those people, so it will not be good if he loses his ugliness. (To be continued......)
