Chapter 246: The Feast
After Zhao Liu followed Xiao Nan into the door, his eyes turned around, and he didn't find the person he was looking for, so he couldn't help but lean into Xiao Nan's ear and whispered: "Lady Xiao, where is my nephew?" ”
"Shopkeeper Zhao is a nobleman, you can come to the cold house, Xiao Nan is really flattered, as for the nephew, Xiao Nan has never seen it, I don't know who it is. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Xiao Nan raised her eyes to look at Zhao Liu, and said lightly, she naturally knew that the person Zhao Liu asked was Zhao Zhen, but about Zhao Zhen's identity, she also knew that in the eyes of the vast majority of guests at the scene, Zhao Zhen was still Xiao Zhen, Xiao Nan's younger brother, Xiao Nan didn't want to announce Xiao Zhen to the world just because of the appearance of the woman in front of her.
Zhao Liu greeted Xiao Nan's eyes that were suddenly cold a few degrees, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the breath in his body also condensed, but I didn't know what to think, she immediately laughed again, and no longer dwelled on this topic, Zhao Liu is a great god, ordinary people can't entertain her, for this reason, after she arrived, Xiao Nan couldn't do anything, so she could only stay by her side quietly.
Until Zhao Zhen and Han Qi returned from the back mountain, Zhao Zhen had obviously met with Zhao Liu before this, when he saw Zhao Liu, his expression was slightly stunned, and he subconsciously walked towards her, Xiao Nan saw Zhao Zhen, did not wait for him to speak, and introduced him with a smile: "Little brother, this is Zhao Liu's girl, the shopkeeper of Yunhu Qingzhai in Song County, Zhao Shopkeeper, this is my brother Xiao Zhen." ”
"Xiao Zhen has seen Shopkeeper Zhao." Although Zhao Zhensheng was only thirteen years old, he was born with a seven-trick spiritual heart, as soon as Xiao Nan spoke, Zhao Zhen understood what she meant, and immediately followed Xiao Nan's words and saluted Zhao Liu.
"Xiao Niangzi's feng shui is really good, you don't talk about your ability, your eldest brother is also beautiful, only learned, many years ago he took the head of the county with a small three-yuan attitude, and now he has won the province's Xie Yuan, maybe in the future you can also take off the crown of this big three-yuan, ordinary people, such an excellent child has one, it is a great luck, but all the children in your family are so good, look at your little brother, such a beautiful demeanor, it is really Zhao Liuping's life to see, it is really jealous!" Zhao Liu didn't know what psychology she had, and she didn't reveal Zhao Zhen's identity in person, her eyes fell on Zhao Zhen, and she was full of praise for Xiao Nan's words.
The guests at the scene didn't know much about Zhao Liu, and they didn't think much of her praise, this Xiao family sister and brother are really outstanding, people who know her details but don't know Zhao Zhen's identity can't help but be secretly shocked, as for Xiao Nan, Zhao Liu's cooperation made her a little surprised, and her personal feelings about Zhao Liu can't be said to be good or bad.
This woman's demeanor and bearing are almost impossible to find anyone who can stand side by side with her in the people she has seen in her life, this woman is a noble, as the lord of the clan but likes to stay in the folk market, that's all, the problem is that since she saw herself for the first time, she seems to have paid special attention to herself, Xiao Nan doesn't know what her idea is.
In the past, she was just an ordinary village girl, she had no intersection with her, and there was no conflict of interest, no matter what her plans were, it had nothing to do with her, but now it is different, Zhao Zhen's return to the royal family is unpredictable, if her goal is Zhao Zhen from the beginning...... This woman has to be guarded against.
But no matter what people's motives are, before the other party doesn't show their motives, Xiao Nan can't do anything, people come to congratulate her, she can only treat people as a pampered guest, and the time slips by bit in the cold noise of the guests, about half of the noon, the banquet is ready, and Jing Xuan comes over to inform Xiao Nan that the banquet can be held.
The guests present today, in addition to the guests of the Lin and Song families, also include five tea merchants from Xinyang, Li Changqing and Luo Ba from Qianmen, several dart masters from the Hongwei Dart Bureau, the major gentry of Qingfu Town, plus all the villagers of Sangyu Village, ten people per table, a total of sixty-one tables, eighteen dishes per table, ten meats, four vegetables, plus two soups. (The Xiao family temporarily decided to add two more dishes.) )
These sixty-one tables, whether it is the dishes, or the tableware, are not inferior to the big restaurants in the county, there are a few dishes, the vast majority of people present have never seen it, but look at its color, shape and fragrance, let the smell of the appetite open, this scale of the banquet, not to mention the villagers of Sangyu Village, even the gentry in the town have not experienced much, an ordinary small mountain village to put out such a banquet, it is really called a feast!
In this era, large-scale banquets, men and women have to be separated, even if it is the people, it doesn't matter if the family is usually a family, but in a situation like today, it is impossible to let men and women sit together, although Xiao Nan is not a person of this era, but he will not rashly break such rules, with Zhao Liu's identity, if she puts on the name of the county lord, the female guests present are qualified to accompany the seat can be said to be no, but now she comes to congratulate her as an ordinary shopkeeper.
People don't say their identity, Xiao Nan is happy to pretend to be confused, her table, in addition to Xiao Nan herself, there are Song Nuo, Mrs. Yue, Song Nuo's mother Wu, Xiao Nan's grandmother Wang, Xiao Nan's mother Lin, aunt Zhang, plus Han Qi and Han Yu.
"Shopkeeper Zhao, this is our own wine, you try it and see if it suits your taste." After the dishes were arranged and everyone was on the table, Xiao Nan swept the expressions of everyone on the table, stood up with a smile, and poured half a glass of dark red wine for everyone present, although Zhao Liu came to Xiao's house as the shopkeeper of an ordinary shop, but her aura around her was too strong, and the guests at this table, except for Xiao Nan and Song Nuo, everyone else was a little restrained.
"Huh? This wine is a little different from other places, and it tastes good. Zhao Liu herself obviously knew this, after Xiao Nan put the poured wine in front of her, she picked up the wine glass very face-savingly, raised it towards everyone, and then took a sip, as soon as the wine entered her mouth, her eyes suddenly lit up slightly, and she blurted out a praise.
Whether it is a man or a woman, after drinking a little wine, the conversation is easy to open, as soon as the conversation is opened, everyone's restrained mood will be eased a lot, Wu has lived in Song County for decades, and Zhao Liu's origin is faintly clear, but she looked at Xiao Nan and interacted with Zhao Liu with a calm expression, Zhao Liu did not show any displeasure, and the heart that had been carried slowly put down, as for Xiao Nan's grandmother Wang and aunt Zhang and others, at first they only felt that this Zhao shopkeeper was intimidating, unattainable, and could be touched. found that this woman was not as difficult to contact as she imagined, and slowly let go.
After drinking and eating, Xiao Nan took out her snow needle and made a cup of tea for Zhao Liu, Li Changqing and others, when Zhao Liu held the teacup in her hand, her eyes lit up again, and she stared at Xiao Nan in surprise and said: "Xiao Niangzi, is this a top snow needle?" That's right, you cooked this thing, ordinary people, and you have a chance to taste a little bit here. "The number of this thing is too small, every year, it was divided between Zhenzong and Jiang Ge Lao in the palace, and even the queen could only pay one or two cups from the emperor by chance, although Zhao Liu's status was noble, he only paid once or twice when he returned to Beijing, but he didn't have his own hands.
