Chapter 024: Going to the Banquet
The time for a meal, even the second master almost disliked all the young men who could be in the capital.
Whether he is tall, short, fat or thin, intelligent or generous, there is no one on the left or right who can satisfy him. Ruosheng was dizzy when she heard it, and by the time he finally stopped talking, her mind was full of only this, no, that......
She looked at her father blankly with an ivory rice pan and muttered, "Then what do you want?" ”
Second Master Lian picked up the red stewed mutton in front of him and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it and said vaguely: "...... It's not to say kiss to me, just ask me what you like, and ask me what to do. After a few words, he swallowed the mutton that was already soft and rotten, laughed in surprise, and said, "This mutton is good!" ”
Pick the high-quality lamb leg meat, wash it and boil it in boiling water to skim off the foam and then take it out and clean it, and then cut the cooked mutton into dice-sized pieces, put it in a casserole and simmer it with the chicken soup, and then add the cut fresh bamboo shoots and mushrooms to the soup and simmer for an hour, the soup is thick and crispy, and the taste is wonderful.
Even the second master was happy to eat, so he left behind what he had said half-loudly before, and just beckoned Ruosheng to eat mutton.
If he didn't have time to say anything, he had been stuffed with a bowl of meat like a duck, and he almost didn't hold it up, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
On the other hand, Second Master Lian had a hearty meal, and told her with a smile on her face that when she went to Duan's house to attend her uncle's spring banquet two days later, she should not forget to say hello to her grandmother and grandfather.
Ruosheng pulled the rice grains in the bowl and responded absentmindedly, but when he returned to Muxi Garden, his face was quite difficult to look at.
Her aunt's banquet, she almost never fell in her previous life. When she was young, it was like visiting relatives, and her aunt had someone come to pick her up when she came back, and she was happy to go. Although her mother was not favored in the Duan family when she was not out of the cabinet, this family affair contributed to the friendship between the Lian and Duan families, and she is the witness of this friendship. The Duan family is dispensable to her mother, and when her mother goes, she has become an extremely important one in the Duan family.
Every time she goes back, her grandmother will smile and hug her shoulder, so that people can hurry up to eat and play, and her aunts and cousins are also the feeders of the feeders, and the heads and noodles are sent to the heads, and they are honest and affectionate.
Even if she knew that her aunt didn't like the Duan family very much, she always went to the Duan family.
Later, when she grew up, her stepmother Zhu entered the door, and she felt more and more close to the Duan family.
After all, she still has half of the Duan family's blood flowing in her body.
But this is how her grandfather's family, who is so enthusiastic every time she goes, after the accident at Lian's family, falls into the well, looks at her coldly, and treats her like a stranger.
-- The warmth of the people and the cold of the world, that's it.
Even the family is covered in copper stench, and the ancestors are not glorious, but where can they compare to the supremacy of the interests of the Duan family engraved in their bones?
She has experienced those cold eyes, and now when she receives a post from her uncle, she can't help but feel happy.
But since she promised her father to go, then let's go, and take a second look at the place where her mother lived before her death.
So after two days, Ruosheng packed up and led the green banana out of the house.
Lian Erye sent her all the way to the carriage, looking left and right, he thought she was dressed too plainly, but he wanted to apply a big red rouge to her cheeks, saying that she looked good...... Ruosheng was so frightened that he didn't even dare to raise his head, so he hurriedly responded to the "complexion is good enough", while supporting the coachman to move quickly.
The horses snorted and ran away with their feet raised.
She leaned against the edge of the small pane and peered in the direction she had come.
Her father stood there with a long body, wearing a lake blue straight dress, raising his hand to wave goodbye to her, Zhu held the cloak to accompany him, and waved his hand cautiously in the same way as her father.
Ruosheng laughed at first, and then couldn't help but redden, and hurriedly withdrew his gaze and didn't dare to look again.
Lian's family is located in Heikangbo, south of Kyoto, and Duan's family is in Aoyagi Hutong on the other side, and if the carriage goes fast, it won't take much time, and she can't get off the bus with a red eye.
Ruosheng simply closed his eyes and leaned on the satin soft pillow embroidered with silver and red moire to raise his spirit.
About three quarters of an hour, the carriage arrived in front of Yongding Boduan's house.
She paused to hear the crisp "click" of horses' hooves in her ears, and opened her eyes.
Lu Jiao came to help her up and said softly, "There are people waiting at the door." ”
Ruosheng frowned, his chin was silent, and after a little tidying up, he got out of the carriage and went to Duan's door. Sure enough, there was a group of people standing at the door, and I don't know if it was waiting for her or today's visitors. She had only taken a step forward when she heard a person standing in front of the crowd laughing and shouting "Ah Jiu".
Ruosheng looked at the sound, but felt that this person was very unfamiliar, and he couldn't guess who it was for a while.
She has a total of three aunts, one of whom is from a concubine, not from her grandmother, so it must be the other two aunts who come to greet her.
But who exactly?
Just looking at the clothes, it seems that there is no subtle difference in age.
She hesitated for a moment, stepped forward to salute, omitted the line and called with a smile: "Ah Jiu has seen my uncle." ”
"......" The face of the person who came suddenly became strange, his face stiffened, and the corners of his mouth were twinning, "I am your second cousin......"
Wakasheng: "......"
After a long time, she held back a sentence, "I haven't seen you for many days, and my second cousin is more and more like my aunt......"
She just forgot that one of her uncle's cousins likes to be rich and old, consciously mature and stable, and can hold the scene, and always makes herself old-fashioned.
This is the first time that Green Banana has followed her out, and this person can't recognize it all, so he can't whisper to her. Red Sakura was good at this, but if she didn't think about it unconsciously, she should step up and choose two people to come up to meet Red Sakura's lack of talent.
Honest and heartfelt green bananas are enough, and the people who will mention it in the future aim to have a discerning vision and a sharp mouth.
She thought to herself, and the second girl of the Duan family on the other side couldn't help it when she saw that she was no longer speechless, and said, "Ah Jiu, you can't remember people's problems clearly, you should ask a doctor to treat them well." "Being called an aunt by her cousin, born an older generation, Miss Duan Er felt that her face was going to be swollen, and her tone couldn't help but be harsh.
However, before she could finish speaking, the big girl standing beside her quietly touched her back.
The second girl was silent, and changed her smiling face to beckon Ruosheng in.
Since it was to enjoy the scenery of early spring, this banquet was held in the garden of the Duan family.
There were people gathered in the stone pavilion, tables and chairs were set up outside, and tea utensils and snacks were also prepared in the morning.
Ruosheng was led to see his aunt first.
When she arrived, she looked fixedly, and the clothes on her aunt's body were not as good as the second cousin's body looking at Lao Cheng! What's more, the two are indeed quite similar.
She whispered, smiled and met several elders in turn, and then asked where her grandmother was. The eldest aunt Fang smiled and said that she was not in a hurry, the old lady didn't like to be lively, this would be resting, the old uncle was out of the house the day before yesterday, and this would not be in the house.
If Shengyuan was not interested in seeing them, he was happy to hear the words, so he was led by his uncle and mother to sit with a few cousins.
The older ones greeted Ruosheng and went to talk to themselves, whispering softly, talking about some tea and embroidery. Only the pair of girls sitting next to Ruosheng smiled when they saw her. The two of them wore almost the same color, their hairstyles were similar, even the shoes on their feet and the bracelets on their wrists looked similar.
Ruosheng can't tell who is who, but he knows who these two are.
The eldest aunt gave birth to two daughters and two sons, and the remaining two daughters were concubines.
The eldest cousin of the concubine had been out of the cabinet the year before last, and the second cousin she had just seen, and the only ones left were the third cousin Su Yun and the fourth cousin Su Xue.
As soon as Duan Suxue landed, her aunt went, and she was brought to her mother-in-law to raise her, because the girl who only walked with her was one year old, and the two of them were very good since childhood.
If the one next to her doesn't remember, these two like to dress up the same, but she remembers.
She stepped forward with the corners of her lips bent, and her third cousin Su Yun greeted her and said with a smile: "The clothes Ah Jiu is wearing today are really beautiful!" ”
The fourth cousin immediately answered: "But what's the matter, look at it is a fragrant crepe?" Didn't the third sister just do it the day before yesterday? ”
"Oh? I don't remember exactly. The third cousin smiled and said in surprise.
"It's the third sister, you don't think it's comfortable to wear, and you gave Lilac the body!"
Ruosheng listened with interest and said, "That's it, this fragrant crepe is worth wearing for the maid below." ”
