Chapter 72: Preparation

The atmosphere cooled down, and Le Yi sighed secretly, isn't this cousin a very shrewd person, why can't she see the situation so clearly, it is clear that Ruoling and the others don't want to have a deep relationship with her. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info but, think about it again, this is also in line with her temperament, not that life to earn that breath.

"Sisters, come with me to the courtyard and sit down, and I'll let the maids serve some snacks. It's something I've spent the morning trying to get out of the kitchen, and my sisters can taste it. She led them to the rest place in the courtyard.

A small round table, a few comfortable chairs, and a large parasol on top, surrounded by several large trees.

At this time, it was still morning, the weather was not very hot, and the sun was dappled through the trees, with the sound of birds, for a while, it was very comfortable.

sat down comfortably, the maids shook their fans lightly, and several people didn't even have beads of sweat.

When the pastry was served, after a few bites, everyone cheered.

"It's delicious!" Frost stuffed her mouth full.

"Well, Jingyue mentioned your pastries, we don't believe they can be better than Jin Kee, it's our fault." If Ling is talking, his subordinates will never be slow.

In contrast, Zheng Yun is much slower. She is fourteen years old this year, and her mother has begun to teach her everything, and if she can make some food snacks, it is also very good, so she is seriously tasting the taste.

After eating each one, she asked a few related questions, and Le Yi saw that she understood it very well, and it was estimated that she did not do much at home, so she answered carefully.

There is not much left.

Several people were very satisfied.

After the maid brought water to rinse everyone's mouths and clean their hands, the sun was not big, Le Yi took them to visit the Hou Mansion and take a walk to eat.

It's the end of July, the lotus flowers in the pond are blooming very well, there are pink, white, red, large lotus leaves set off the lotus, as well as large and small lotus canopies, especially the breeze blowing, the pond is full of blue waves, everyone who sees it is intoxicated.

"Most of our gardens are full of flowers, and there is a plum forest, which is a bit interesting in winter, but it is a pity that there is no pond full of lotuses." Ruoling's little face was stretched out at this time, and the lotus leaves were very fragrant.

"You are still not satisfied, the Merlin of the Protectorate Mansion is also a must in the capital, how good the Merlin banquet is in winter." Jingyue said pitifully: "Although there are such ponds in our house, the lotus flowers are not as good as those here in Le Yi." ”

"Our house is bigger than that, but I don't like to wander around, I get lost." Frost wrinkled her nose.

Zheng Yun smiled and didn't answer, the Zheng Mansion is not a public or a secretary, and the house can't be so big, so it can't be taken out and said anything.

"If a few sisters like it, you might as well come and sit more, there are two girls in the house, my cousin and I, and it's usually a little deserted." Jingshu took the opportunity to invite.

"That's for sure, we are good friends with Le Yi, so we will naturally move around more." Ruoling said to Le Yi.

Her words are obvious, because of Le Yi's relationship, not because of other people's relationships.

Jing Shu's face turned pale and she was very embarrassed, but no one answered, let alone helped her say anything, so she had to hide her smile. The silent teeth of my cousin are itching in my heart.

The group continued to walk, and in the distance there were the sound of several men laughing and the sound of horses' hooves.

"Huh?" Le Yi wondered, which brother came back? She asked San'er to go and have a look.

The few of them stopped and began to walk back.

"How many horses do you have?" Xiaoshuang was the most curious, she actually wanted to see it, but there were men here, and it was difficult for them to go over.

"Four horses, one horse for each of the four brothers. Two white, two black. It can be raised strongly, and the coat color is also very bright. I wanted to take you to see it, but I'm afraid it's inconvenient now. ”

"Then next time, you must bring me to take a look next time."

"Okay."

As the day grew, a few people returned to Linhu Ju with a smile, and after a short rest, they got up to say goodbye.

Le Yi asked them to take the wrapped snacks back, and Le Xiaoshuang said that she would have to come often in the future, not only to eat, but also to take away, which made the girls laugh again.

A few people made an appointment to come with their families on the old lady's birthday, and then went back to their homes.

In this way, Le Yi was really busy for her grandmother's birthday for a few days, mainly following the eldest aunt to remember the guest list, and then the responsibility of receiving the little girls in the inner courtyard was on her and Jing Shu.

Jing Shu knew a lot of young ladies, but after all, she was not a serious Miss Houfu, so Feng spent most of her energy on Le Yi, and instructed Jing Shu to help Le Yi greet guests that day.

For this reason, Jingshu cried for a whole night, and Xing'er was anxious to get angry, for fear that something would be wrong with Miss's body, and she would be sick and couldn't go out, wouldn't it be a pity! That's what she thought, and when she said that, Jing Shu stopped, and the next day her eyes were swollen like walnuts, and she didn't go out for a day.

Le Yi studied very hard, after all, it was her grandmother's birthday, and it was also the first time she showed her face in Beijing, although it was not important, but her grandmother and mother attached great importance to it, and she made several sets of clothes, hoping that she could appear in front of everyone in the best appearance.

The Marquis of Wuping Mansion has been very low-key over the years, and the second is that it has not encountered major events such as weddings and funerals, so it is really the first time that such a large banquet has been held. Therefore, not only did Le Yisheng fear that something would be wrong, but even the Feng and Liu families were very nervous, and went through the matter several times back and forth, but fortunately, Mama Fan and Mama Liu helped them get some ideas, and trained the servants again, so on the day of their birthday, everything was properly prepared.

The old lady wore a red brocade with four joys and ruyi moire today, her hair was neatly combed behind her head, and she only wore a three-headed jasper hairpin.

Feng and Liu were also dressed up generously and festively, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law brought Le Yi and Jing Shu to have lunch together, took a nap after lunch, and after waking up, they were busy with their own work.

Unexpectedly, the first wave of guests were the Zhenguo Mansion and the Yongle Hou Mansion, almost before and after, and the gift lists of the two families were very heavy, and Mrs. Qin also gave Le Yi a gift alone, saying that it was brought by Wei Chiying. She is already much better, but she can't go out, so let Le Yi go to the house to see her after she is well.

Le Yi smiled and nodded, but it was strange that Old Madam Qin and Meng Yang were not relaxed when they talked about this, but they were a little indescribably heavy. Later, she took Meng Fei to play in the yard, only to learn that the fall was not unintentional, but man-made! The place they passed by was smeared with a layer of oil, which caused Wei Chiying to fall.
