Chapter 195: A Pleasant Conversation
"Madame White is here."
I don't know who saw Liu and Mrs. Hui Yin, who came with her, and said.
The wives, who were still greeting each other, knew each other and had never befriended each other before, and they all greeted them one after another when they saw Liu and Mrs. Hui Yin appearing.
The specially well-dressed Liu family generally greeted these ladies one after another, and politely invited them to the mountain behind the nunnery to enjoy the flowers and feast.
The ladies are also wonderful people who have an all-night banquet, and the host's invitation to the banquet must have a reason, but people don't say that they won't take the initiative to inquire about rudeness, after all, they will say it sooner or later. It's better to have a beautiful view, acquaintances, and a feast than to face those vixens every day at home, and who wouldn't enjoy it.
So these three or five piles of encounters that they can see are gathered together, elegant and Hui Yin Shitai study and study Buddhism, literary and artistic people get together to enjoy flowers and compose poems, boring gossip and the latest words, and the clever ones are even more aware of what they like to find their own place.
Liu turned around for a short time and finally finished saying hello, and when she was free, the county lord of Ankang automatically sent her to the door.
"White Lady." The county lord of Ankang has always been lively and generous, and he can get along with everyone very happily, "I have received a small gift from you for me, which is really delicate and delicious." Just like this peach blossom water feast, the falling flowers and flowing water, although there is no dance music, it is intoxicating. β
"If the county lord likes it, it's fine." Liu was looked back and forth by the three people opposite, but he was used to this kind of gaze and talked to them frankly.
Pu Yuan bowed slightly. "I loved that gift too. It's just that the banquet prepared by the lady seems to be different from what I usually see, I just took a cursory look at the dishes, although there are some changes, I can see that this dish contains the special delicacies of various places, and it is placed under this flower tree for the maidservants to freely take food for the ladies of each family? β
"Miss Puyuan deserves to be the first female gentleman of Dasheng." Pu Yuan has not yet married, although he is not young, he is still worthy of this girl. "The hometowns of all the ladies are all over the place, and the tastes are not the same, if the same dish is only afraid that some people will like it, but some people will not be able to enjoy it, so I have to think of this method."
"If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world. It's good to be able to satisfy a few people, but Madame still thinks about all the guests, and she is really kind, no wonder Mrs. Hui Yin will also look at Madame differently. Mrs. Ji felt that Liu had a special affection for her, just like a mirror, which could reflect some shadows on her body, and instantly felt that Liu was a good person.
Liu's humble reply. "It's just some little tricks, it's already my honor to let the ladies appreciate it, if you don't take care of it, the general will blame me."
Mrs. Ji smiled at Liu knowingly, and did not expose her lies, who doesn't know that General Bai is such a lady, and it is strange if she doesn't listen to her, where will she blame her.
"Hearing is false, seeing is believing, and there were rumors about Mrs. in Beijing before, so we didn't visit Mrs. when she just returned to Beijing." Pu Yuan examined herself, she has always regarded herself as high-minded, and hates gossip the most. But the world likes to add a lot of gossip out of thin air according to their own imagination, making innocent people miserable, so she also doesn't like to associate with others.
And Liu's name for her just now just shows that she understands herself, unlike others who think that she is not married at such a young age, but vainly tries to start a sect like a man, which is really contrary to common sense and shameless. In comparison, when he listened to the rumors, he still guessed the intentions of the general's wife when he was invited, and this kind of thinking was even more unbearable.
"Ah Yuan......" The county lord of Ankang knew that this old friend had begun to self-examine again, "I am also wrong to say this, I have also said a lot of rumors about General Bai before, although I am not the one who spread the rumors, but I am also a communicator, I should also self-examine." β
"Don't do that, two of you." When Liu heard this, he treated them a little sincerely. "Actually...... I'm just an ordinary person, far from being as good as Mr. Pu Yuan said. β
"To be able to make such a delicate little thing and arrange such a delicious meal, if I were to do it, I would never be able to do it." Mrs. Ji sighed.
Seeing this, the Liu family knew that he couldn't hold back the politeness of these ladies, how to say that they were all from families, and the foolery on the faΓ§ade was okay, but they could be exposed when they really talked. "That's not my idea. These gifts and banquets were all the ideas of the little girl, so I really can't afford to be praised by a few ladies. β
"Ling's sister?" Lord Ankang was surprised. "Could it be that I am lonely and unheard, and I heard that Ling Yan is only ...... now?"
"It's not the little girl, it's the eldest daughter." Liu invited a few of them to sit down under the tree, and ordered their respective maids to go and get refreshments, with the overlord of Ankang County, the other ladies will not lean over for the time being, and she can just rest.
Mrs. Ji sat directly beside Liu, she was very curious about Liu now, although her husband was a Wenchen, he had only mentioned the name of General Bai several times, and it was obvious that he was extremely appreciative in his words. "Why haven't I heard that Madame has a daughter in her family?"
"My daughter has been in poor health since she was a child, so she has been recuperating outside, and the doctor said that she needs to be clean, so I let her make a name for her here. In fact, today is also to pick up the little girl back, so a banquet was set up here to introduce her to the ladies. Liu Shi told the true and false statements made up.
Mrs. Ji nodded. "I see." Then he asked with interest. "What about Miss Bai?"
"The girl's house always has to be cleaned up, and it's probably almost there." Liu also smiled expectantly, this is not fake, she has not seen Bai Jiaojiao for three years, and she doesn't know if she is tall, short, fat and thin, standing in front of her can still recognize it at a glance.
The county lord of Ankang has an extra heart, this Bai family has never mentioned this daughter, and now he actually bothered so much for her, is there anything special about this daughter? I couldn't help asking. "I'm really looking forward to it, as Madame said, these are all prepared for us by Miss Bai?"
Liu nodded, "The little girl and I mentioned that the county lord likes sweets, but most of the sweets are placed with too much powdered sugar, which is harmful to the body, so most of today's dim sum is made of pollen, vegetables and fruits." I didn't understand what she said, but I also knew the taste of the county lord. β
"No wonder I've been feeling a little sick all over my body lately, and I've got acne." The county lord of Ankang sat down on the other side of the Liu family. "Pu Yuan, sit down." (To be continued.) )
