Chapter 30: The sense of déjà vu of the Red Mansion

When Shao Xunmei heard the old lady's words, she was so annoyed that she wanted to laugh: Do you want her to write a letter to apologize to the so-called Dingwang Fujun? So as not to have any gaps? Why, why should a good person apologize to someone who can't beat her in her heart? She just thinks it's a strange idea, okay?

Moreover, the old lady said this as if their relationship between husband and wife was good, but in fact, the two of them were strangers, okay? She just went on the pole and wrote a letter to apologize, so the king may not necessarily take it to heart, okay? Maybe I can't remember that there is her in the house.

And the old lady finally left Mama Chen and Zi Su in the Guogong Mansion to reflect on the tone and kindness, looking at how generous, if the two of them were not wrong, could they be stayed?

Therefore, the rules of this century-old family's Guogong Mansion are full of dignity and a faint hypocrisy, and she intuitively doesn't like it.

After the old lady finished speaking, Liu Shi said at the right time: "When the princess arrived, it was almost the end of the hour, and it was time for lunch, mother, shall we have dinner?" ”

The old lady rinsed her mouth with fragrant tea and spit it into the gold spittoon held by the girl, and Fang said slowly: "The princess will not come easily, so let everyone get together for a meal." ”

Liu's body didn't move, sat in the chair and said with a smile: "I know, the princess Pan has already made arrangements, and the people are almost there, so I will send your mother's orders." ”

The old lady smiled happily when she heard this, and the folds on her face turned into a chrysanthemum: "Pan is really a capable person, and he is more than enough to be your assistant." And although Liu was still laughing when he heard this, his smile was very faint and did not reach the bottom of his eyes.

Now she still holds most of the housekeeping power in the palace, and the princess is just giving her a hand. Now does the old lady's words imply that she is going to delegate power? is his own daughter-in-law, when he delegates power, he is also very hesitant, after all, the housekeeper is powerful, who doesn't want to hold it in his own hands?

The group got up, and then the two girls helped the old lady Wang, and after the old lady Wang got down from the main seat, Liu and another richly dressed woman hurriedly helped her walk in front of her and walked towards the hall on the side.

Shao Xunmei, on the other hand, was a little behind, through the crystal curtain to another huge space, which was exquisitely decorated, and the ornaments were all large, and there were three round tables of rosewood in this room, and the people were busy preparing the food after the master sat down.

Soon the entire seat was filled with people one after another, and the old lady sat down on the red sandalwood table in the center, and then she beckoned Shao Xunmei: "The princess is sitting here." It's kind of to accompany my old wife. ”

Because the old lady is the highest generation in the Guogong Mansion, she eats at the same table by herself according to the dining rules, and Shao Xunmei is also qualified to eat with the old lady because of the high title of the princess.

So Shao Xunmei sat down next to the old lady.

On the rosewood table on the right is her mother-in-law Liu's generation, and on this seat are the two middle-aged women that Shao Xunmei saw just now, they are Liu's younger sisters Jin and Ma, respectively, Ning Guogong's second brother-in-law, and the wife of the fourth brother-in-law, and the third and fifth of the concubines, who are respectively released as officials, and their family members are all serving, so Ningguogong's mansion is missing two rooms.

Naturally, Ning Guogong and his younger brothers all have aunts, but those aunts are not qualified to appear here at all, to make sense, the concubine is just a thing, where is it on the table? This naturally includes her biological mother, Aunt Xie, and Ning Guogong's third aunt.

And the rosewood table on the left is the most sitting, and they are all young girls with flowers, these are the sisters of the same generation as Shao Xunmei in the Ningguo Mansion, the big ones are married after waiting for the day, and the small ones are only seven or eight years old, because this banquet is a family banquet, so those concubines also have seats, and the little girls are all dressed in strange and beautiful clothes, whispering something, and the little faces are full of excited expressions.

And the seats on both sides of the main seat are empty, which are the positions of the princess Pan and the rest of the young women. Shao Xunmei's father Ning Guogong has three sons and three daughters, Ning Guogong and Liu have a good relationship, two of them have two sons and two daughters who are concubines, and she and the remaining son are concubines.

Liu's two sons have already become relatives, and the value and status of marrying daughters are very expensive, the princess is born in the Hou Mansion, and the son's wife is the daughter of the second-class master, only the concubine is left because he is not yet fifteen years old and is not yet the age to marry, but Liu's dedicated mother-in-law has already begun to look for a woman in the capital for him.

There is also the youngest daughter of the Liu family, who is not yet thirteen years old this year, and the Liu family is very precious to this daughter, and has no plans to propose marriage to her. Among them, the little girl in red clothes and smiling brightly and openly on the seat was her, Shao Weitong.

The rest are the second and fourth rooms, and the two little girls are not brought to office in the third and fifth rooms, and they are also forced by the old lady to stay, the third room keeps the youngest concubine, and the fifth room keeps a daughter.

Shao Xunmei felt that her impression was a little blurry, she had been married for five years, and she was not the original owner, where did she remember it so clearly, she could barely get to know her, just snicker.

The people quickly got on the copper basin, the girl in the back held a brocade handkerchief, and in the back was holding mouthwash and a spittoon, and the sound of the room was quiet in an instant, Shao Xunmei saw that everyone elegantly put their white and full hands in the water full of petals to wash, after the girl took the water away, the people behind held the handkerchief and wiped their hands, and then rinsed their mouths and spit water, step by step, quite exquisite.

And Shao Xunmei looked at these redundant rules, quite like Lin Daiyu had just entered Jiafu to eat her first meal, no, it felt the same, I was afraid that if I didn't do well, I would arouse suspicion, so Shao Xunmei also secretly looked at other people's practices.

Before she ate, Shao Xunmei felt shackled on her back, and these so many rules simply made her have no appetite at all, and it is estimated that no matter how good the meal is, it will not arouse her appetite at all.

Soon, the mother-in-law walked in in with a food box in an orderly manner, and then opened it and put a plate of dishes with attractive color, delicate and delicious, and full of color and flavor.

And during the meal, he didn't say anything, which was diametrically opposed to the meal he had at the Zhuguo General's Mansion at noon yesterday, which made Shao Xunmei feel dead from the bottom of her heart.

And the old lady came to serve her with food, and it was the princess Pan who served her with vegetables, Pan's was dressed in a purple brocade long-sleeved placket with phoenix and peony flowers, but she saw that she served the old lady very carefully, with round eyes and a round face, she looked very pleasing, about twenty years old, but her eyes were shining, naturally she was a shrewd person, otherwise how to be Mrs. Shizi, the future Duchess of Ningguo?

At the table on the right, serving Liu is Pan's younger sibling, the daughter-in-law of Liu's second son, while Jin and Ma are their daughters-in-law.

Shao Xunmei was stunned when she saw this, where did she still have a little appetite? This is clearly a reproduction of those dining scenes in the Dream of Red Mansions in front of her! She thought it was all described in the book, but where did she think that one day it would be truly restored to her eyes?
