Chapter 85: Sarcasm

As Liang Wenyu, the hostess of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, took the lead in taking a seat, everyone also followed, sitting on the ground, looking at the banquet in the past, a little less restrained, a little more casual, quite a different freshness. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was a martial artist, who won the world on horseback, and when he sat on the throne, he was already in pain, and he couldn't follow the ancient rites of kneeling like the royal family of the previous dynasty.

So, under the leadership of the emperor, this kind of high chair quickly became popular, more than 100 years have passed, and now it is still proud of kneeling, and there are only a few families in the south of the Yangtze River, as for the northwest, based on martial arts, informal, naturally it is also used to sitting on a comfortable high chair.

That is, Liang Wenyu, who was famous in the capital back then, and made friends with the young lady of the Jiangnan family, every time she saw each other, she mostly knelt on the cushion, and now, in the summer, she would still choose to be in Ziyuntai, first, the scenery is beautiful, and second, there is also a reason to miss the ancients in it.

Liang Wenyu put his right arm on the desk, looked sideways at the three delicate and bright girls, and saw that they were all kneeling straight, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

waved his hand and said very lovingly, "Good boy, it's just a light meal in our own house, you don't have to be so formal, look at you kneeling upright, I'm tired and panicked for you." ”

"Hurry up and change your position, you think, you can sit as comfortably as you want."

As soon as she heard this, Mu Yunyan smiled and thanked her aunt, and first changed to a comfortable position, Hu Qinghui looked at her casual appearance, and couldn't help but be a little envious, but she was used to being courteous, and it was the first time she returned to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion as a guest, and she still couldn't let go, embarrassed to be as careless as Mu Yunyan.

It was Lan Jiayin, looking at Mu Yunyan is lips and smiling, learning from the other party's leisurely posture, putting her legs on one side, sitting diagonally on the cushion, but her arms were learned from Liang Wenyu, and she borrowed strength on the desk.

It seems that her movements are a little stiff, but in fact, Lan Jiayin is just doing it for everyone to see, think about it, how close she was to Liang Wenyu in her previous life?

The two of them have been enjoying the cool and relaxing in the Ziyun Pavilion, this cushion, a few short, is used to it for a long time, but because of Lan Jiayin herself, she has always been a high chair in Pingjing, she was naughty and playful before, what ancient etiquette, rules, I didn't care.

If this is like Liang Wenyu, it will be done smoothly, isn't it suspicious in vain?

"Heh, it's really much more comfortable to sit like this." Lan Jiayin smiled and said to Mrs. Lan, "Mother, do you want to try it too?" ”

Mrs. Lan shook her head with a smile, "The cushion under the knees is soft, but it is not uncomfortable, and I will feel uncomfortable later, and it will not be too late for me to learn from you." ”

She was often with Princess Jinyang when she was young, and Gu Li also learned from the palace grandmother, and it was difficult for her to sit on her knees, in the end, she felt that her age was here, and she couldn't be as casual as children, so she was still decent and refused to relax.

Liang Wenyu is older than Mrs. Lan, but she doesn't like to talk about rules as much, this one is in her own home, and she entertains close guests, so how comfortable is how to come.

However, it is precisely because of this that Mrs. Lan and the others feel more at home.

After everyone sat down, the maids began to serve in an orderly manner, more than 20 people, stunned, silent, light under their feet, light in their hands, and almost never heard the bump of the dishes.

Liang Wenyu picked up the translucent white jade wine cup and said with a smile: "This is my own home-brewed fruit wine, the taste is light and sweet, and there is no wine strength, just give our mother a few cheers." ”

"Come, I'll drink this cup first, and my sister and nieces are not polite, you have to use whatever you want."

Mrs. Lan and the others also raised their glasses, drank the fruit wine, and the luncheon officially began.

Liang Wenyu and Ye Fangjun, as the hosts, frequently let each other, Liang Wenyu also asked the maids who were waiting around him to choose the fruit plates and cold dishes on the case, and choose those good ones, which are rare in Beijing, and introduced them in detail.

Lan Jiayin is very familiar with the craftsmanship of Xuanping Hou's chef, she hasn't eaten it for a long time, and she misses it very much, and she put her favorite dishes into the entrance again, and she realized, "It turns out that I still like heavy tastes." ”

Mrs. Lan is a particular person, the food at home is mainly health-preservation, and the nutrition is very high, but the taste is light, and several cooks have followed their own wife's hobbies, even the spicy dishes are rarely cooked.

And what about the Xuanping Marquis Mansion?

To put it bluntly, it is a hodgepodge of famous dishes from all over the world.

There are some famous dishes in the capital, the famous dishes in the west are indispensable, and the famous dishes in the south must also have a few supporting scenes.

There are chefs in the three places, everyone performs their own duties, and they do their part well, there are no particularly distinctive characteristics, but they are delicious and delicious.

For example, the famous folk snacks in the West, meat sandwich buns, are also on the table, but the bread here is much smaller than the outside, and the minced meat is sandwiched inside, and the taste is richer.

Then there is the famous duck soup in the south, the soup color is still so clear and translucent, there is no oil star on the soup noodles, sprinkled with chopped coriander, minced green onions, it is very refreshing to look at.

There is also the most common stir-fried haggis in Pingjing, hey, the pepper is red, the pepper is fragrant and numb, and it is very fragrant to eat with a chopstick.

The dishes are in line with the taste, Lan Jiayin is very happy to eat, frequently raise the chopsticks, and taste all kinds of dishes on the table without any taboos, but it is not polite at all, and occasionally, I also recommend it to Hu Qinghui with great interest.

Mu Yunyan explained a little more next to her, and the three of them had become the most lively place, compared with the plates that were quickly replaced at the other two tables, Lan Jiayin's table was obviously used a lot.

She didn't look pretentious, Liang Wenyu couldn't close her mouth with a smile, and secretly thought: "No wonder my son likes her, and he has rescued her several times in a row, but the main thing is that this little girl's nature is innocent and cute, not delicate and pretentious at all, it is really and reckless, which is very intimate." ”

In fact, when the Bai family made a fuss in Bisong Courtyard just now, Liang Wenyu took Lan Jiayin and them out not long ago, and they had already come back to their senses.

I couldn't help but secretly say, 'It's dangerous.' ’

She also knew in her heart that if Lan Jiayin hadn't stopped her seemingly recklessly at that time, she was afraid that she would have fallen for the Bai family's slut today.

I was carried away by anger and stepped into the trap of others, so that the Bai family's slut was still secondary, mainly because he ruined his son's big thing, so he had to try it, and he couldn't regret it.

Liang Wenyu, who is a mother-in-law, knows best in his heart how many hardships and dangers he has to go through, so that his son can seize this best opportunity at a critical moment, pinch the evidence of the other party's crime, and give Mu Yishan an unexpected thunderous blow.

This time, Mu Yishan really tried his best, since Mu Lingxuan left Xijing, he began to wait for the opportunity, how many people are connected underground, Liang Wenyu can't guess a few, but as Mu Lingxuan said, "Let's just catch the leader this time and hit it at one time, as for the other people who beat the side drum and follow others to pick up the leaks, it's not too late to clean up slowly." ’

Speaking from the heart, Mu Yishan was ruthless to his only son twice and three times, bent on taking Mu Lingxuan's life, Liang Wenyu hated him, and had the intention of eating his flesh and drinking his blood.

It's easy to have both human and material evidence, and the evidence is conclusive, even if a man who wants to come from home can't bear it, it's impossible not to deal with this eldest son who is getting bigger and bigger.

Such a good momentum was almost destroyed by her, how could Liang Wenyu not be afraid?

How can she not be grateful to the person who prevented her from making mistakes?

Yes, this will make her look at Lan Jiayin, no matter how she looks at it, she feels pleased, close her eyes, even Mrs. Lan, she also thinks that this is a very good person to get along with.

At least, in the past few hours, Liang Wenyu has not seen untimely arrogance and reserve in the body of this daughter of the Hou Mansion.

Liang Wenyu was happy, and couldn't help asking, "Sister Liu can visit Buddha on weekdays?" ”

Mrs. Lan put down the silver chopsticks in her hand and said with a smile: "My mother is a good Buddha, and my sister grew up with her old man's family, how can she not be contaminated with Buddha incense?" ”

"It's just that after getting married, I am entangled in mundane things, busy all day long, socializing constantly, and even on the fifteenth day of the first month of every month, I can't go to the temple to offer incense, which is really a sin."

"This time, my lord went to Pingjing to take up his post, and I also followed him out to open my eyes."

"Originally, there were more than 20 masters in charge of the three rooms, but now we are only one room, and there are not ten masters, and there are few people and few things, and an impetuous heart can calm down."

"When my sister was still in the capital that day, I heard that the Anfu Temple on the Lotus Mountain in Pingjing was a Buddhist holy place with the same name as the Shande Temple in the capital, and I thought that after seeing a few ladies of the family, I must go to the Buddha in person and sincerely worship the Buddha to feel at ease."

After listening to this speech, Liang Wenyu felt that talking to fellow travelers was worry-free.

He nodded with a smile and said: "Shande Temple is a royal temple, the scale is large, and there are few temples comparable to the entire Great Zhou Territory, that is, Anfu Temple, a centuries-old temple, with a profound heritage, which can be compared with it." ”

"I also know, Sister Liu, you are new to the city, and you have to be busy for a while, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up with the fifteenth, so it's better to be on the first day of September, right?"

"It's a good day, let's sisters go to Anfu Temple to worship the Buddha together?"

Mrs. Lan nodded again and again, glanced at Lan Jiayin lovingly, and said softly: "My sister Yin is the tenth birthday of the tenth day of October, my sister thinks, and prays for her to light an ever-bright lamp in Anfu Temple, after all, our mother will also stay here for several years, with the blessing of the Bodhisattva here, I can rest assured as a mother." ”

"Oh, this child's birthday is really good, it's more than a dozen birthdays?" Liang Wenyu asked in surprise.

Lan Jiayin said with a smile, "If you go back to your aunt, Qinqing will have her thirteenth birthday this year. ”

"Thirteen years old...... Liang Wenyu added or subtracted in his heart, and thought secretly, "This child is just three years younger than Xuan'er, just like me and Hou Ye, don't suffer the sins I have suffered." ”

She felt that her life was not good, and she was very worried about Lan Jiayin, for fear that this person would follow in her footsteps, and she would have a bad life!

said casually, "I look at her stature, it's not low, looking at it, it doesn't seem to be much worse than Sister Yan'er, right?" ”

When Mu Yunyan heard this, the smile on her face suddenly froze, she is three years older than Lan Jiayin, and she will get married at the end of the year, okay!

Obviously, people are half a head taller than Miss Lan, okay?!

Lan Jiayin looked at it coldly, this Mu Yunyan's joy and anger were all on his face, not the gloomy temperament of the face and the back, but he had a good friend.

After all, if Mu Lingxuan said it, it could really come true, she and the Xuanping Marquis Mansion would be inseparable, and it would be a rainy day to pull a few friends for herself early.

Thinking like this, she simply stood up, stretched out her hand and pulled Mu Yunyan up, and immediately put her back to back, compared to her head.

Mrs. Lan looked at it carefully, covered her lips and smiled: "I didn't see it just now, but it is much taller than Sister Yan at such a stop, after all, the two of them are three years apart." ”

Lan Jiayin deliberately pouted when she heard this, and muttered, "Aunt Ye must have eaten well for Sister Yan on weekdays, so she is so much taller than me." ”

Mrs. Lan shook her head and smiled, pointed to the chicken sauce shrimp burger shark fin on the table and said, "Mo Hua, quickly bring this bowl of shark fin to your young lady, let her eat more, Ming'er is a tall man." ”

Ye Fangjun also made fun of it and sent the rock sugar bird's nest in front of her to Lan Jiayin.

Seeing that everyone at the banquet was happy, Xue Rulan was really panicked, and the time she had arrived at the Hou Mansion was much shorter than that of the Bai family.

Moreover, what she herself has learned is the teaching of everyone's housewives, which is different from the Bai family's yin loss calculation, Xue Rulan still likes to use yang schemes.

Therefore, the manpower she bought in the Hou Mansion was much worse than that of the Bai family.

This time the defeat of Mu Yishan was exposed, Mu Lingxuan's mother and son were highly vigilant, and they hid it to death, and Xue Rulan didn't know anything about it.

She still knew from the maid who stopped her in Bisong Courtyard just now that her husband was going to plant a big heel fight this time!

Because of the wrong place to speak and the limited time, the maid didn't say a lot, but Xue Rulan at least knew that if there was no help from the Lan family, Mu Lingxuan would not be able to grasp her husband's handle so easily.

How grateful Liang Wenyu is to the Lan family, how much Xue Rulan hates the Lan family.

Seeing that Lan Jiayin, a half-grown girl, was about to be praised to the sky, she, Grandma Mu, who had been ignored for a long time, felt that she couldn't bear it anymore, no matter how good her kung fu was.

couldn't help but interject, "Mingzhu, you go back to our yard now, let Mother Zhou open a small warehouse, wrap two taels of blood swallows and shark fin each that my mother just sent, and bring it back to the Lan family's sister to eat slowly." ”

Blood swallows are rare, shark fins are precious, and all of them are hard to come by, let alone in the west where resources are not abundant?

It's not a small deal!

It's just that Xue Rulan's move seems to be kind, but it implies that she ridicules Lan Jiayin's greedy mouth, which is really hurtful. (To be continued.) )
