Chapter 48: The Farce at the Dinner Party
Looking at Xu Yunhua's appearance of being a scoundrel, Xu Peihua swallowed the sentence 'no' in his mouth, and only looked at her hatefully.
Xu Yunhua pursed her lips, replied with a big white eye, turned her head and instructed Qing'er, "Go and clean up." ”
Qing'er got the order, ran as fast as a rabbit, and rushed into the room that Xu Peihua had chosen in the blink of an eye.
Xu Peihua was not far behind, and hurriedly gave Zaohua a look, signaling her to follow as well, it seems that the change of house is a change, but don't let people take their own things on the way, those are all treasures at the bottom of the box.
"Okay, let them pack up their house, I want to ask, does anyone want to go in with me for tea now?"
After Gao Jun finished speaking, he entered the courtyard with his hands behind his back and went to the main hall, Xu Yunhua glanced at Xu Peihua from the corner of his eye, turned around and followed.
And Xu Peihua listened to her mother's persuasion, for fear that if the two of them were together for a long time, she would be excluded, so even if she didn't feel very complacent, she still followed behind.
In the main hall, there is a pot of dragon well, and the three of them share the drink, but even if the three of them sit around the table, they don't even say a word to each other.
Actually, Gao Jun wanted to talk to Xu Yunhua, but when he looked at Xu Peihua who was beside him, he felt a little awkward, so he simply shut up.
So, the silence lasted for about two quarters of an hour.
Two quarters of an hour later, Zaohua came out of the house in the west, saluted the three of them, and then said to Xu Peihua alone, "Girl, the house is almost cleaned up, do you want to go and see?" ”
Xu Peihua glanced at the two people beside him, and seemed to realize that it was extremely embarrassing to sit here, so he took the opportunity to respond, "Okay, I'll take a look." ”
Xu Peihua took the jujube flower back to his house, and Gao Jun saw that there were no outsiders around, so he immediately stretched out a thumb brother and shook it three times at Xu Yunhua.
"Hey, I just understood today, it turns out that you are not something to mess with, admire, admire!"
"I'm a broken jar, anyway, I already have a bad reputation in front of people, why should I pretend to be benevolent anymore, I should enjoy it, I don't give it to others at all, especially those who don't want me to be good!"
As he spoke, Xu Yunhua pouted towards the west, indicating that the person referred to in the words was Xu Peihua.
"However, the one you picked up just now was clever enough, but is she really that powerful, beating people with her own hands?"
It turned out that Gao Jun's gossip was here.
Xu Yunhua nodded solemnly after hearing this, and after a while, she shook her head again, in fact, she also woke up in the middle of the night to listen to Qing'er's relay, she didn't see it with her own eyes, in the face of Gao Jun, she didn't need to add more oil and vinegar, so she recounted what she had heard.
"Since Qing'er girl saw it, there must be no mistake, tsk, I didn't expect Xu Peihua to be so ruthless, and the personal maid can also do it, and it is not a big mistake."
Gao Jun couldn't help but glance at the west again, and shook his head again and again.
"Since that's the case, I still want to ask you, did you attend the dinner that day, do you know who my cousin was talking to, and why did she get so angry when she came back?"
Gao Jun had a 'ask me, I know everything' expression, and nodded while holding back a smile.
"That afternoon happened like that, I didn't dare not go to the dinner, but I thought the meal would be boring, but I didn't expect it to start as soon as the banquet started."
Gao Jun started with great interest, but Xu Yunhua raised his hand to interrupt.
"Don't say it yet, let me guess, the person who is arguing with my cousin is not Gao Yue, the fifth girl in your family's third room, isn't it?"
After hearing this, Gao Jun's eyes widened, and he was a little surprised, "How did you know, you didn't go to the dinner that day, who did you ask about?" ”
Xu Yunhua shook her head proudly, where did she need to rely on inquiry, but after seeing the resentful expression on Gao Yue's face in Moyuntang yesterday, which was specifically aimed at Xu Peihua, she understood.
I haven't had a deep friendship in the past few days, and I suddenly made a bad relationship, and it can only be because of that incident.
"I'm guessing, okay, you go on, I won't interrupt you."
Gao Jun picked up the interest just now and continued to tell the story vividly.
"That day's peach blossom banquet, before the evening, most of the guests had already left, and those who stayed to go to the dinner were just a few ladies and wives who were particularly close to my grandmother, and the men and women did not sit at the same table, so the women opened three tables alone, and later, my grandmother was afraid that we young girls would guard the elders, and we were embarrassed to move the chopsticks, so I personally ordered us to move this table to the side hall next door."
This beginning was long enough, but Xu Yunhua was still patient and continued to listen.
"When we arrived at the side hall, there was no restraint from the elders, we were all very happy, there was talk and laughter during the banquet, but as soon as the dishes were served, Aunt Tao of the third room came in a hurry, as if because of something about the third aunt, she came to ask the third sister for an idea, but she didn't say a word yet, I don't know who whispered below, saying that Xu Peihua's hair was similar to the one on Aunt Tao's head, but as soon as the topic was opened, everyone talked about it, and it was estimated that Xu Peihua felt that his face couldn't hang up for a while, so he shouted a few words in his throat, such as 'my aunt is not a serious master, such an occasion should not show her face', Gao Yue sat on her side, and when she heard this, she immediately stopped doing it. ”
It turned out that it was because of this, Xu Yunhua nodded with a clear expression.
Gao Yue, the fifth girl in the third room, is a concubine, and Aunt Tao is her mother-in-law, and it is natural for her to be unhappy when she hears that her mother-in-law has been insulted.
It's just that if you think about it carefully, in fact, Xu Peihua's words are not wrong, the aunts in big families are rarely able to appear in public, even if the wife of the third room has been lingering on the sickbed, Aunt Tao should not have this privilege, and there is no place for her at the banquet of the Peach Blossom Banquet, which can explain this problem.
But at that dinner, why did Aunt Tao deliberately go to find the third girl, Gao Ying, this became a doubt in Xu Yunhua's heart.
"The temperament of the third girl is quite similar to that of the eldest girl, quiet and quiet, and from head to toe there is a 'gentle and virtuous' style."
Gao Jun nodded and agreed, "I think so too, maybe it's because the third aunt has been sick, so she is worried all day long, and she doesn't talk much, but"
Speaking of this, Gao Jun paused, "But I don't know why, one day a year ago, my eldest brother told me not to let me get too close to her, but I don't understand what's going on." ”
PS: "Serving the King with Rice" has recently been revised, and the first eleven chapters have been repaired, with some changes, which does not hinder the development of the plot.
