Chapter 42: The Ice Tasting Meeting

As soon as Xu Qijin came back, Xu Qirong immediately took the letter and ran to tell her the good news.

Xu Qijin sighed: "This is great, if you want to see your grandmother in the future, wouldn't it be much easier!" However, Yangzhou is so good, and it is the place where the Shen family made their fortune, why did they suddenly think of moving to Jinzhou? ”

Xu Qirong was full of joy, and then he realized that he couldn't share this joy with his sister, who didn't know anything, so he had to say: "Since you plan to move to Jinzhou, your grandmother and uncle must have their own considerations." Either way, it's something to be happy about. ”

Xu Qijin nodded: "The third uncle is fine, it's the best news." ”

Xu Qirong nodded violently, she now felt that she was full of lightness, as if she had to run outside to release this excitement. But she couldn't run, so she had to read the good news to Xu Qijin over and over again.

Xu Qijin was annoyed by the thought and said with a smile: "Are you idle?" Today, the county lord pretended to have heat stroke three times, and the princess was distressed, and finally promised the county lord not to study or learn the piano for three days. The county lord asked people to bring a letter to the county lord, and the two discussed that they would hold an ice tasting party in the eldest princess's mansion tomorrow, saying that they would let the carriage pick up the two of us at that time. ”

"Ice Tasting Meeting?" Xu Qirong was surprised.

Xu Qijin explained: "It means that the ice cubes are broken and made into iced tea with different flavors, or mixed with some melons and fruits, and everyone tastes them together." ”

As soon as Xu Qijin explained this, Xu Qirong immediately became excited: "The county lord and the county lord really have ideas!" However, will the Xu family just go with the two of us? Will my uncle and grandmother blame my sister? ”

Although it is up to the county lord and the county lord to decide who to invite to the ice tasting meeting, but now that Xu Qijin is close to them and does not say a few words for the girls of the Xu family, it is conceivable what Mrs. Guo will think.

Xu Qijin shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the county lord and the county lord said that they will invite the two of us to this ice tasting meeting." Others didn't even know that there was such an ice tasting meeting. ”

Xu Qirong's eyes widened: "Four people's Bing Tasting Meeting?" "What's that called the Bingbing Club, it's just a few little girls getting together to eat and drink!

Xu Qijin coughed twice, raised his willow eyebrows, raised his chin slightly, and learned the way the county lord spoke, he rolled his eyes first, and snorted: "Isn't it just to be cool, invite a large group of little ladies, you and I will be annoyed to death, wouldn't it be to find guilt for yourself!" ”

Xu Qirong saw that Xu Qijin learned from the county lord of Shuang Pian vividly, and couldn't help but feel funny: "Isn't it just a small gathering, what is it called Pinbing Club, it looks so atmospheric." ”

Xu Qijin also found it interesting and replied: "Naturally, one is the county lord and the other is the county lord!" ”

Mrs. Guo learned that Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong were going to the Eldest Princess's Mansion to participate in the ice tasting meeting on the second day, so she called Xu Qijin over that night and hinted at it, and heard Xu Qijin say that the county lord and the county lord only invited two people, and did not invite other people's little ladies, Mrs. Guo didn't want to think about it and said: "Your eldest sister's surname is Xu, and she is not someone else's little lady." Besides, doesn't the county lord have a good impression of your eldest uncle, if you don't bring your eldest sister, it shouldn't matter if you bring your third sister, right? ”

Xu Qijin said seriously: "It's nothing for me to bring over, old ancestor, you also know that the county lord's temper is not very good, what if you make a mistake and have to drive the eldest sister and third sister back?" ”

That's a shame and a big loss!

Mrs. Guo thought about it carefully, hesitated for a while, and had no choice but to give up.

As soon as she came out of Lin'an Hall, Xu Qijin turned her back to the maids behind her and sneered, these people were too blatantly stretched out in her wind and courtyard. What I said to Sister Rong in the evening will be spread to Lin'an Hall.

Lin'an Tang was even more cheeky than Shui Yuexuan, at least, Shui Yuexuan knew that the county lord and the county lord didn't mean to invite others, so he pretended not to know about it.

The county lord of Shuanglian attached great importance to this ice tasting meeting, and took the carriage to Ruyi Lane early the next morning, the carriage stopped outside the gate, and Shuanglian did not get out of the car, so that the accompanying guards went to call the porter to pass the word, and he sat in the carriage and waited.

Xu Qirong had just finished freshening up and hadn't started to eat breakfast, when he saw the little girl come to report in a heavy voice: "Girl, a word came from the porter, saying that the county lord's carriage was waiting at the door, and the county lord said that if the girl and the second lady didn't have breakfast, they would go to the carriage to use it, or use it again at the eldest princess's mansion." After packing up, she hurried out and took her carriage to the eldest princess's mansion together. ”

Xu Qirong saw that Shen Shen had memorized such a big paragraph, turned around and ordered Yu Qiu to reward Shen Shen with a few pine silk candies, and he looked helpless to change into the clothes he wore to go out.

Who went to the eldest princess's mansion early in the morning to eat ice? Besides, in order to eat ice, they don't even need breakfast, so what do others think of the two sisters!

When the two sisters packed up and went out, the county lord was already waiting impatiently in the carriage, and when he lifted the curtain and saw Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong coming, he couldn't help but complain: "You two, take a bigger step, slow down, you have to go back again!" ”

Xu Qijin has already cultivated the ability to speak less in front of the county lord, Xu Qirong didn't know why, so he subconsciously asked: "What are you going to do when you go back?" Have you forgotten something, county lord? ”

Lord Frost stretched out a finger and shook it: "Go back and bring some fennel sea salt sesame oil." ”

Xu Qirong didn't react.

Xu Qijin whispered in Xu Qirong's ear and explained: "The county lord said that she was stuffy in the carriage. ”

Xu Qirong choked, looked up at the county lord who pretended to be angry, rolled his eyes, and said: "Okay, county lord, wait a while, I'll go to the kitchen to get fennel sea salt sesame oil, and I'll be back soon." As he spoke, he turned around and gestured to go back.

The county lord of frost mercy was in a hurry, and hurriedly called people back, and when the two sisters got into the carriage, the county lord of frost mercy bent his index finger and knocked on Xu Qirong's head with a disgusted face: "Are you kidding?" What do you have your head made of? How does it feel solid! You can't even tell if someone else is joking! ”

Xu Qirong felt that she was quite aggrieved, and she also said a joke, didn't you see it, Lord County?

Shuang sighed for a while, and finally expressed his dissatisfaction with Xu Qirong's way of thinking, and then began to flip the dark grid in the carriage one by one: "Jade Liangguo, Jiangzhou peach, mung bean cake, pickled radish strips, well, as well as Zhang Ji's soup dumplings and mushroom porridge." Do you want to eat here, or wait until you get to the eldest princess's mansion? ”

Xu Qirong was stunned, and pointed to the bun and porridge: "It's still hot, why did you put it in the dark compartment?" ”

Shuang Lian looked at Xu Qirong innocently: "I don't need breakfast, I don't put it in the dark compartment, I look hungry and panic." Thinking that you haven't eaten yet, I'm embarrassed to eat first. ”

Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong looked at each other.

Frost said proudly: "I'm righteous enough!" ”

So, the righteous enough Shuanglian and the sisters of the Xu family had breakfast in the carriage. Originally, there were a lot of things prepared by Shuanglian, and the three of them were eight minutes full, and there was still half a bowl of porridge, two buns and a piece of mung bean cake left. However, Xu Qirong was locked up in the East Factory for a period of time in her previous life, and in the first three days she entered, everyone forgot about her storage, so she was hungry for three days. Since then, Xu Qirong has not seen any food left. Therefore, in the stunned eyes of Shuanglian and Xu Qijin, Xu Qirong calmly ate the remaining half bowl of porridge, two buns and a piece of mung bean cake.

Xu Qijin thought of Qiu Nong, who followed Xu Qirong out today, and thought of those rumors in the house, feeling a little worried, thinking in his heart, how to tell Sister SΓΉ tactfully without hurting self-esteem Everyone doesn't think the fat man is good-looking?

Frost Lian nodded secretly in her heart, worthy of being two sisters, each with their own strengths!

For the three of them to come so early, the people of the Eldest Princess's Mansion did not show the slightest surprise, what to do. Even the county lord of Jiaren watched the maid watering the flowers slowly, and began to eat breakfast slowly after reading it.

When the Lord of Shuanglian County saw that the eldest princess's mansion made melon and fruit stuff for breakfast, he couldn't help but regret it a little: "I knew that we wouldn't have breakfast in the carriage." ”

Jiaren listened to it in his ears, and his hands paused, as if he was a little choked. When he finally finished eating and asked his subordinates to remove all the things, he asked Shuang Lian with a surprised face: "You have breakfast in the carriage?" The sisters didn't even eat breakfast, and you called people out! ”

Lord Shuang Lian couldn't help but defend: "I stared at them at the gate of the Xu family for a while!" ”

Jiaren turned his head to look at Xu Qirong, and Xu Qirong said honestly: "I waited for half a cup of tea." ”

"Whatever you want to do next time, it's all done in your Yuwang Mansion!" The county lord of Jiaren honestly reprimanded, "You can do everything early, I won't talk about you, you are good, you have intensified!" Next time, will you run to the door of someone's house in the middle of the night and wait? ”

Everyone was amused by the last sentence of the county lord of Jiaren, and Shuang Lian was about to defend herself, but seeing that everyone was covering their mouths and happy, she couldn't help it, and said with a smile: "As long as my mother agrees, it doesn't matter what I do!" Don't be busy crusading against me, are you ready for the ice? ”

Jiaren was also happy: "Let the subordinates prepare early, otherwise I don't know how you are making trouble as an anxious child!" Then he turned his head to Xu Qirong and said, "Whatever Shuang Lian will give you to eat later, you don't even want to take it." Some people have poor craftsmanship and prefer to do it, you are young and your stomach can't stand the toss. ”

Xu Qirong nodded straightly.

As everyone was talking, a maid wearing a cyan bibi came in and replied: "County Lord, Zhou Gongzi has already received the silver from you, Zhou Gongzi is very grateful, saying that he doesn't know when the county lord will be convenient, and he will personally come to thank you." ”

When Jiaren heard this, he smiled with a smile on his face: "No need, you tell Zhou Wei to prepare for the exam well, and when you win the crown, I will go to him to say hello." ”

The maid agreed and withdrew.

When Xu Qirong heard Zhou Wei's words, the whole person froze, and his chest seemed to roll like a river and a sea. She still remembered that in front of the courtyard of Fenghua Courtyard that year, the twelve-year-old woman in red with immature face but her hair was coiled, and she smiled at her with a delicate face.

"He, although he is a monk, has discussed with me that he wants to return to the vulgar! The name after returning to the vulgar still uses the name before shaving, which is called Zhou Wei. The descendants of the Zhou family in Jingzhou are the weft of the talents of heaven and earth. ”

Zhou Wei!
