The old lady accepted the salute with a smile, waved her hand slightly, and a tall maid standing next to the old lady stepped forward to help Xia Xiaodong up, and touched Xia Xiaodong's wrist by the way, and said with a smile: "Oh, ancestor, Miss Xia's complexion and figure really compare the girls of our family." ”

As she spoke, the tall maid took Xia Xiaodong's wrist and stretched it out to the old lady: "Look at it, how delicate this meat skin is." As he spoke, he deliberately raised his eyebrows at the old lady.

The old lady laughed: "You monkey, are you afraid that I will give you a light greeting gift?" He took off a phoenix tail scale red gold bracelet on his wrist, and put his hand on Xia Xiaodong's wrist.

Xia Xiaodong hurriedly thanked him, and glanced at the maid, but saw that the maid blinked his left eye lightly at him, which was quite smart.

can say and deed like this on this occasion, I think he is the most favored and suitable person around the old lady. In fact, when people are old, there are old children, and many people like to be lively and playful.

After seeing the old lady, Lu Yunzhi introduced the girls present, except for one who is a little aunt, the others are Lu Yunzhi's cousins, and they can't remember a lot for a while, anyway, as the days go by, they will naturally know what they should know, and they don't need to know each other.

As soon as I gossiped for a while, there was a maid outside the door to report that dinner was ready.

Dinner is served in the flower hall on the south side. A huge rosewood round table, estimated to sit twenty people is no problem, and now there are ten seats, but it does not feel sparse.

There was no vegetable in the middle of the table, and even if there were, it was estimated that the gibbons would not be able to hold it, there was a pot of lying orchids with very luxuriant leaves, which were obviously well cared for, and each leaf was green and dusty. Surround Nawran. It is a myriad of deep-mouthed plates of the same size, containing dishes for dinner.

Look closely, no wonder there are so many small plates, the original dishes have been divided according to the head, in front of each person are four meat, four vegetables and four cold dishes, plus a cup of stewed soup from the original cup, and a cup of steamed japonica rice with light blue color.

It's hygienic and convenient.

Xia Xiaodong cautiously waited for everyone to raise the chopsticks before carefully starting to eat—not carelessly. So many people eat together. There was almost no sound, neither the sound of a spoon touching a dish, nor the sound of chewing and swallowing. Watching these people around you eat is comparable to pantomime!

Fortunately, after being careful for a while, Xia Xiaodong slowly discovered that it was not so difficult not to make a sound - as long as it was slow enough.

Serve the soup with vegetables, as long as you move slowly. Generally, there are no collisions, and each bite of food is chewed slowly for thirty or forty times. Of course, there was no sound.

Although I am a little tired, it is very healthy.

……

……

After dinner, everyone said goodbye one after another, and the old lady also explained to Lu Yunzhi very kindly: "The girl of the Xia family has just arrived at our house. I'm tired when I think about it, and you're about to take it to a good student for placement. Ming'er will be stubborn with her sisters and sisters. ”

Probably because of the poor lighting at night, it is usually eaten after dinner. It's time to go to bed. The days are so long, and there are so many things that can't be done. How many words can't be said, it has to be at night?

Lu Yunzhi smiled and brought Xia Xiaodong back to his yard.5./books/19/19463/

Be my royal husband, please line up.

"The yard for you has been cleaned up, come to me first to sit and recognize the door, have a cup of tea and then go over." Lu Yunzhi took Xia Xiaodong's hand and commanded the maids very casually to dig out a jar of snow water on the plum blossom petals buried last year, so that they could boil water to make tea.

With such elegant water, Xia Xiaodong didn't eat any difference.

Before I could finish a cup of tea, there was a silver bell-like laughter at the door.

There are guests coming.

They were the two girls I had seen at the old lady before. Knowing that Xia Xiaodong probably didn't remember who was who, Lu Yunzhi reintroduced it very understandingly.

The tall man has a slender figure, wearing a pleated skirt full of gold, and his waist is more and more unbearable, and he is Lu Yunfang, the eleventh lady in the big house. The slightly shorter one was born round and jade, with a pale complexion, a small mouth like a cherry, small and red, and it was Lu Yunjie, the thirteenth mother of the fifth room.

Lu Yunzhi greeted with a smile and asked the maid to add two more cups of tea, but her attitude was tepid, gentle and less enthusiastic.

Xia Xiaodong looked at Lu Yunzhi, then at the two girls who visited, and then lowered his head to drink his own tea.

For newcomers, it's better to pretend to be quails.

The question is...... These two seem to be here for Xia Xiaodong.

Thirteen Niang picked up the white porcelain teacup that the maid had brought up, opened the lid and hastily dialed it twice, then smiled at Eleven Niang and said, "Sister Fang, you see that our teacup is the same." ”

Lu Yunfang looked down at the teacup in his hand and said with a smile: "It's really the same, the cups that Sister Zhi treats here are all white porcelain from Yizhou, good things." ”

Lu Yunjie frowned, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Lu Yunfang's sluggishness, so she had to make her words clear, and sneered: "It's just a white porcelain, Sister Fang thinks it's a good thing." You see that what the Xia family's sister has in her hand is a green jade bucket. Sister Zhi's own use is the hand-painted Molan thin fetal porcelain by the master craftsman, and those are good things. ”

Xia Xiaodong was stunned when she said this, and when she looked at the green square bucket in her hand, she realized what kind of green jade bucket this was, and she thought it was a precious object. As for the cup in Lu Yunzhi's hand, it was originally a set, but it was given by Lei Xiong, who was known as a master craftsman, when he was in Suzhou, and Xia Xiaodong also had a set.

It's just a cup of tea, you can find out the stubble, this thirteen mother's skills are good.

Xia Xiaodong put down the green jade bucket, but did not speak.

This is Lu Yunzhi's house, and it is naturally up to Lu Yunzhi to deal with it.

What's more, the two who came here are not so bored that they came to find a teacup.

Lu Yunzhi was faint, and only smiled: "The only thing I entertain here is this white porcelain cup." If my sister is not used to it, I will go to the old lady to find it when I go back, or ask my sister-in-law to go to the library to see, what is better, and then invite my sister to come over and taste it. ”

These words are said lightly, without the slightest fireworks, but there is a faint meaning of rejecting people and thousands of miles away.

Lu Yunfang became a little cramped, and hurriedly said, "Sister Jie just said it casually." How to alarm the old lady. Jun's sister-in-law is in charge of the house, and it is not easy to be tired when she sees that Tian'er is busy to death. It's so expensive there, even Yizhou white porcelain is disgusted. ”

Lu Yunjie didn't blink, pulled Lu Yunfang by the hand, and sneered: "You have a straight stomach and rectum, give a stick and recognize it as a needle, don't you understand Sister Zhi's words?" We are guests, so we can only use the things that are entertained. People are their own people. ”

In the end, the word 'own person' was said in a strange tone, and the tone was prolonged, but his eyes looked at Xia Xiaodong and was about to pass.
