Chapter 200: Discussion at the Dinner Table
"I heard Guan Yang say that the girl loves cigarettes, but it happened that recently Yin Shangjing, the Lingnan Provincial Governor, reported on his work, and sent some Lingnan Dao specialty tobacco to my mother's house, and asked Guan Yang to send it to the house so that the girl could taste it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć After the two parties sat down, Cui Guanxian smiled.
"Young grandma is polite, although I love to smoke, but I am not a person who can taste cigarettes, I am afraid that if good things come to my hands, they will also be ruined. I heard Brother Cui say that the ancestor of your house is also a person who loves cigarettes, how can Yubai win people's love. ā
"Miss Mu doesn't know that the whole family is worried about the smoking of my mother's ancestor. The old ancestor has bad lungs, and several doctors have said to smoke less, don't smoke, but they always can't help it. If Miss Mu is doing well, she will mention that the ancestor will accept this cigarette, which can be regarded as breaking her thoughts. Cui Guanxian had a pleasing face, and smiled before speaking, which made people look very comfortable, but this time she gave gifts, which made Mu Yubai a little unsure of the other party's routine.
This is somewhat similar to her mother-in-law.
"As for the ban on smoking, you can learn from my girl, she has hidden my pipe now, and I almost turned the house over and didn't find it." After speaking, Mu Yubai wanted to slap himself in the mouth, obviously wanting to weaken Mu Yu's existence, why did he say three or two sentences, and pushed Mu Yu to the front again.
"Miss Mu has a good heart, so she won't make trouble, the ancestor of my family, but she has three fires a day." Cui Guanxian did not follow her topic as Mu Yubai expected, but continued to revolve around the old ancestor of their family.
"I can kind of understand Mrs. Cui's feelings." Mu Yubai was quite emotional when he heard this: "It is said that a cigarette after a meal is a living immortal, and you can't smoke this cigarette after three meals a day, isn't it just that the immortal descends to earth, and all kinds of uncomfortable." ā
"Miss Mu is really interesting." Cui Guanxian seemed to be amused by Mu Yubai's words, covered her mouth and continued to laugh: "I don't blame Guanyang for the monkey, when I return to Beijing, I will go to my father and say that I want to recognize a godsister." ā
"Junior Brother Cui is knowledgeable, enthusiastic and cheerful, I also joked with him on the way to Beijing before, if I had such an interesting brother, how good it would be." Mu Yubai did not hesitate to say good things about himself, and praised Cui Guanyang vigorously: "This is also Cui Shangshu's teaching son, otherwise how could there be such an outstanding pair of children." ā
"Girl, don't boast anymore, otherwise the bride of my family should be blushing again." Pei's hearty voice came from outside the main hall, and Mu Yubai, who had not yet sat on the chair, had to stand up again and salute Pei's: "I've seen the Duchess of the Kingdom." ā
"I was too busy yesterday to greet Yubai, I was sluggish, Yubai should not be blamed."
"Madame, I'm here today to ask for a farewell." Mu Yubai was tired, her daughter-in-law came up to give tobacco, and her mother-in-law apologized as soon as she came up.
As a modern person, although Mu Yubai has been in Dasheng for all these years, he has been nesting in the small land of Yangshui City, and he has not met any Zhongming Ding Food House, and his awareness of etiquette is quite weak.
The three of them chatted politely for a few words, and Mu Yubai saw Mu Yu dangling outside the door, so he excused himself to leave the Guogong Mansion under the pretext that it was not early.
"Leave lunch before leaving." Pei Shi smiled and grabbed Mu Yubai: "I heard that you were coming, so I asked the kitchen to make a few dishes you like to eat, and if you leave, those good dishes will be wasted." ā
"Thank you Madame for your hospitality, then Yubai is welcome." Mu Yubai nodded, and walked out of the side hall with Qi Feng, Pei and Cui Guanxian.
"I just said why didn't I see you just now, it's only been a few days since I left the house, and I forgot the rules?" Out of the side hall, Pei Shi saw Mu Yu at a glance, and said a sentence that was neither salty nor light.
"Madame forgive me, I am to blame for this, Mu Yu embroidered a veil for me before, I don't think the pattern is good-looking, she told me that there is a good sister in the house, the best at drawing patterns, and if you have the opportunity to go back to the house, you will find her to ask for patterns." Without waiting for Mu Yu to speak, Mu Yubai spoke first to relieve her: "This matter is Yubai's abruptness." ā
"That's the case, if you want a good-looking pattern, tell me that some time ago the house made summer clothes, and the embroidery girls sent a lot of handkerchief patterns, and I will send you some when I turn around, you pick a good-looking one and let Mu Yu bring it, this little girl was trained by the master to grind and add fragrance but is a good hand, and the needlework girl is not good."
"It's a bit troublesome for Mrs. this time, it's a whim of mine, if it weren't for Mrs. who gave me this dress, I would still be wearing it in white." As he spoke, Mu Yubai smiled embarrassedly.
With Mu Yubai taking the initiative to ask for guilt, Pei naturally wouldn't say anything more. The group walked towards the restaurant with a smile and a smile, Mu Yubai glanced at his eyes along the way, and sure enough, he saw the familiar figure.
By the time the three of them arrived at the dining room, Duan Guogong and Duan Ang were already sitting there waiting.
Everyone saw the salute one by one, and Mu Yubai sat down in the seat where he should be.
"With the blessing of my daughter-in-law, our family can finally have a reunion dinner." Pei's mood seemed to be particularly good today, and he couldn't help nodding his head when he looked at Cui Guanxian, who was busy with vegetables.
"In this way, my mother owes me the most gratitude." Duan Ang slapped his fan that almost never left his hand and said, "If I wasn't willing to marry, naturally there would be no daughter-in-law for you." ā
"You're embarrassed to say it." Pei Shi was amused by Duan Ang's words, and pretended to glare at him: "It's you who set an example, so that Hongyi, this kid, is also reluctant to marry, but it's sad for my brother to death." ā
"Madam, think about it from another angle, the best, it's worth the wait." Mu Yubai changed it on the basis of the original words, and the field was round.
"It's still Yubai who is the best at talking." Pei's words were very popular, and the topic of marriage was not mentioned.
Pei Shi said it well, she did let the kitchen prepare several dishes that Mu Yubai loved to eat. Mu Yubai is not spicy or happy, and the dishes she loves to eat must be salty and spicy.
But Duan Ang doesn't like to eat, Mu Yubai seems to have seized the opportunity to take revenge, and rushed to Qi Feng to eat a few more dishes she loves. If she could, she would have liked to put the food in the human bowl.
And Qi Feng, who has always had a strong sense of presence, remained silent from beginning to end, eating his own food without saying a word.
"Since the beginning of summer, the drought in the south has become more and more severe, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the rice in Beijing will soar." I don't know who picked up the words that the rice has been getting worse and worse recently, Duan Guogong, who didn't talk much, suddenly said this.
When he boarded, the canteen, which was still amiable just now, immediately came out cold.
"The imperial court, do you want disaster relief?" Pei asked cautiously, but Duan Guogong turned his gaze to Mu Yubai, as if waiting for her to say something.
Tsk~ Mu Yubai pouted in his heart, knowing that there is no free lunch in the world.
"Yubai heard that the drought in the south continues, but the wind and rain in the north are smooth, and this year will probably be a bumper harvest year." Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, Mu Yubai wiped his mouth with the handkerchief handed by Mu Yu: "The grasslands of Northern Xinjiang are also thriving, and Rong Di has been raised to be strong and strong. ā
"What does Yubai mean?" Duan Ang also became interested.
"The day of this year's autumn harvest will be the time when Rong Di will come to attack."
