Chapter Forty-Nine: The Family Feast
"No need, I've prepared it, you can take it directly tomorrow, and say that you bought it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" she decisively refused.
"It's fine." Shen Yueran thought about it again and said, "I wonder if the moon white gauze skirt that my sister-in-law lent Yue'er to wear last time is still there?" Yue'er didn't have a skirt, lest her simple clothes surprise the second elder. ”
Wu Zhaorong was even more surprised.
Last time she was asked to wear a skirt, she chattered crookedly for a long time, why did she take the initiative to ask for it today?
But what the hell can you do with a dress?
"That gauze skirt is a little cold to wear now, if you want to wear it, I'll find you another one, and I'll send it to you tomorrow." She said.
"Don't bother my sister-in-law, I'll take it myself tomorrow." Shen Yueran grinned.
She asked some trivial things again, and when she saw that it was getting late, she got up and said goodbye, "If it's okay, Yue'er will go back first." ”
The respectful and polite attitude made Wu Zhaorong stunned.
"What's wrong with her? Evil again? She pointed to Shen Yueran's departing back.
Shen Rihui smiled, "She usually bumps into you, and you get angry." Now she is following you, and you are evil in your family. Your sister-in-law is not easy to be, and her sister-in-law is not easy to be. ”
Wu Zhaorong pouted, "Hmph, if I find out what bad intentions she has in secret, see how I clean her up." ”
Shen Rihui grinned and came up and rubbed on Wu Zhaorong, "Don't think about how to clean up Yue'er, think about how to clean up your father-in-law first, I've been on the road for a month, and I'm about to suffocate me." ”
"Phew!" Wu Zhaorong, who heard the meaning of the words, blushed, pushed Shen Rihui away, and said angrily, "It's dirty and smelly, stay away from me." ”
Shen Rihui was bored, and his interest was greatly reduced. He drooped his head and walked towards the bed, "It used to be so dirty, so smelly, didn't you still make love?" When you get to the capital, it's different, huh. ”
The next day, under Wu Zhaorong's Zhang Luo, the three of them rushed to the welcome building together.
The banquet time was set at noon, and although the three of them arrived at the welcome building a moment in advance, Wu Dingru and his wife had already arrived.
Shen Rihui called his father-in-law and mother-in-law in turn, Shen Yueran called his uncle and aunt in turn, and gave the gift prepared by Wu Zhaorong in advance to the second elder, said some auspicious words, and several people sat down happily.
Wu Dingru and Shen Rihui stood against the window and talked softly. Liu Qiuchang pulled Shen Yueran and Wu Zhaorong to sit on the side seat together, gossiping.
"Yue'er is still used to living in the capital in the past two days, but have you gone out for a walk?" Liu Qiuchang, like Wu Zhaorong, is a plump woman, but between her eyebrows and eyes, she is kinder than Wu Zhaorong, and her speech is softer.
In fact, before Shen Yueran came, she had already thought about the opening remarks that the Wu couple would say. For an old girl like her, once the elders ask, it is nothing more than "how old is Yue'er", "can there be a marriage match", "why not get married". She didn't want to answer, but she knew that this was a topic she couldn't escape. Therefore, she is also fully mentally prepared.
It's just that what she didn't expect was that Liu Qiuchang didn't ask.
She couldn't help but be grateful, and she had a good impression of Liu Qiuchang.
She whispered, "Habitual stay." The capital is cleaner, wetter and more pleasant than Wenchi, and I have not yet gone out to see it. ”
Liu Qiuchang smiled, "Then you really should go out for a walk." There are a lot of beautiful scenery in the capital, there are a lot of interesting places, the market of Xiangguo Temple, the gardening of Wangyuan, are famous far and near, and there are also the music of Golan and Tile, which is worth listening. Now my body is not good, I can't stand for a long time, if I am two years younger, I must accompany Yue'er to visit the capital. ”
Wu Zhaorong felt a little surprised.
She glanced at Shen Yueran, flattened her mouth and said, "Zhaorong came back for two days, and my mother didn't say anything about accompanying Zhaorong to visit the capital. ”
Liu Qiuchang nodded her nose fondly, "You grew up in the capital since you were a child, you haven't seen any beautiful scenes, what are you fighting with Yue'er at this time?" ”
Wu Zhaorong's voice was even louder, and he pointed at Shen Yueran, "She also grew up in the capital since she was a child, what is there to see." ”
"That's different, that's different!" Liu Qiuchang held Shen Yueran's hand and said continuously.
Shen Yueran just wanted to ask Liu Qiuchang's body, but Xiao Er came to ask, saying that the meal was ready and whether the banquet was on time.
Without waiting for Wu Dingru to answer, a clear voice came from outside the door.
"Everyone is here, and the table starts on time."
Shen Yueran followed the prestige.
The man who came was a young man, not very old, estimated to be less than twenty. The figure is somewhat similar to Wu Dingru, thin and straight, but more sturdy. obviously has a childish face, but he is wearing a dark brocade robe, with his hands behind his back, and his expression is a little old.
Wu Zhaoyan.
Shen Yueran said in her heart.
Wu Zhaorong said many times last night that her young and promising younger brother is now serving as a corrector in Bianjing Mansion (note: the official position of calibrating weights and measures), and she has to go to official business to come today. I thought he would be late, but I didn't expect that it was him who was the most punctual.
Wu Dingru briefly introduced, and sat side by side with Liu Qiuchang on the left and right chiefs of the banquet. Wu Zhaorong naturally snuggled up to Liu Qiuchang and sat down under her. Shen Yueran followed Wu Zhaorong and sat down with her in turn.
Wu Zhaoyan was about to sit on Wu Dingru's hand, Wu Dingru frowned, "Rihui, you come." ”
Shen Rihui didn't dare to move, and looked at Wu Zhaorong.
Wu Zhaorong sneered, "Daddy, it's the same wherever you sit." ”
As if he hadn't heard, Wu Dingru raised his voice, "Rihui, you come." ”
Wu Zhaorong didn't dare to say more, and Shen Rihui didn't dare to move anymore, and bent over to sit on Wu Dingru's hand.
Wu Zhaoyan shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and instead of sitting next to Shen Rihui in turn, he raised his feet and walked to the right hand side.
Shen Yueran hurriedly got up and got out of the way, letting him sit at the bottom of Wu Zhaorong's hand, and he sat at the end.
After sitting down, the second child arranged the vegetables in turn.
Liu Qiuchang said, "Let's have a family banquet today, you don't need to be restrained, especially Rihui and Yue'er, don't be polite." This welcome building is known as the first floor in the world, the prestige is its soup dumplings, even the young ancestors of the dynasty have eaten the juice and taste, the skin is thin and the meat is tender. Your brother and sister left the capital early, and this building had not yet been built. It is a coincidence that this building is flourishing. It's a pity not to taste it. ”
A few people thanked them and said some kind words, and the banquet officially began.
Shen Yueran lowered her head and looked at the dishes in front of her.
Eight shaped like chrysanthemums, crystal clear soup dumplings are placed in the center, surrounded by eight dishes of stir-fried, boiled, cold salad and other seasonal side dishes, as well as a bowl of sweet porridge and salty porridge, a bowl of vegetarian soup and meat soup, a pot of tea and sake, chopsticks and spoons are placed aside in an orderly manner.
The dishes are rich, the colors are bright, the meat and vegetables are matched, and the aroma is impressive, which is worthy of being the first floor.
Shen Yueran secretly admired.
