Chapter 48: The Banquet
The next day, the sky was slightly bright, and the busy servants in the back room of Jinlin Courtyard and the front yard were in a hurry.
Those who boiled water, those who took care of food, those who prepared cars, and a few third-class maids and mothers-in-law walked on the turnaround corridor.
"A few of you, put these on the carriage first, and be careful, you will lose half a cent, and you will not be able to pay if you sell them." Mama Fang was wearing a bright green half-cut flow pattern, her face was still half tired, and her lips were white.
After a while, he paced to the inner courtyard and stopped Bai Zhi and Ruyi: "Earlier today, I called the second girl and the third girl to get up, and I must turn it upside down." β
Bai Zhi responded, "Mama, this time I went to the Gu Mansion to bring a few maids to serve?" She grinned.
"I know you're a stuffy one." Mama Fang glanced at her, "I'll be by the second girl's side for a while." β
Bai Zhi nodded like pounding garlic, "My province, my province, Mama rest assured." β
It was another half of the tea, and the people in each room and courtyard learned that Suo Suo had moved.
Jinxin Courtyard is going to send the people of the Hu family today, the Yang family has already dressed himself in jewelry, and went to Shen Hui's house in person, seeing that Shen Hui was still asleep, his fingers painted with bright red cardamom moved slightly, and lifted half of the Jinrong Fulu quilt, "Don't hurry up and get up, a few of you come over to serve her to change clothes!" β
The scratches on Shen Hui's face gradually improved, revealing a reluctant expression on his face, and he leaned up: "It's not that you don't have arms or legs, why do you let people send them." β
He complained but got up.
Originally, she was disgusted with marriage, but because Shen Lan was divorced by the Qi family, her heart was also balanced.
As soon as it was tossed, it was time for the hour, and people were going to Fuhua Courtyard one after another.
A few little brothers are going to Gu Mansion today, so they are exempted from today's study, and they took leave with the gentleman of Qingnan Academy earlier.
The old lady sat upright on the Luohan bed, her hands placed casually, her face relaxed and casual, but her eyes were a little cautious.
She swept over the few little brothers and three sisters who were going to Gu Mansion one by one, and finally landed on Shen Rong's light-colored blue forged brocade dress with a white horse-faced skirt, her brows suddenly wrinkled, and she opened her mouth unhappily: "Sister Rong went back to change her clothes, Gu Mansion is doing a happy event, you are plain, what are you doing, what are you frowning!" Shen Mansion can't even take out the clothes that support the faΓ§ade? β
Shen Rong naturally knew that the old lady liked bright colors, she lowered her eyelids and did not speak.
The Zhao family was stunned, and last night the Yang family had already handed over to her the accounts of the food and clothing in the house, and even let her hold the key to the warehouse.
She hurriedly said: "Mother, Sister Rong is still young and doesn't understand this, it must be because the maid doesn't understand the rules and takes the wrong one." She suddenly made a straight face and glanced back: "Which girl who doesn't know the importance of the clothes for the third girl today, the third girl is young and doesn't understand this, don't you know?" β
For the first time, the auspicious person who followed the three girls through Fuhua Courtyard was dumbfounded.
For today it was the third girl who asked her to get her clothes.
The old lady frowned, "Okay, you can handle the affairs of Jinlin Courtyard by yourself, and don't lead Sister Rong back to change clothes, don't delay time." β
After that, a group of people came out again.
returned to Jinlin Courtyard, Ruyi took a peach-pink satin round-neck gown for Shen Rong, and Zhao was dealing with auspicious things in the front yard.
"Madame knows that the slave maid doesn't have it, it's the third girl who wants to wear it...... Madame is discerning. Jixiang knelt on the ground and said in a panic.
"The third girl is young, don't want to do anything to her, if you are honest, it's fine, now...... Jinlin Yuan can keep an honest maid, you can find a place to go yourself, this can't accommodate you! Even if Zhao was angry, he didn't have that terrifying aura, and he said it calmly.
Jixiang's scalp was numb for a while, if she left Jinlin Courtyard, her mother-in-law might not know how to scold her, she knew that the second lady was soft-hearted, and hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Zhao turned his face, he wanted to be cold and hard, but he could see that there were blood marks on Jixiang's forehead, and he couldn't bear it, so he coughed lightly: "Enough, I don't want to have an extra life, you just stay in the back cover room and do some chores, and you are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard again!" β
When Jixiang heard this, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh, but she was still grateful to Dade.
After such a small episode, they moved into the carriage.
Shen Pingcheng and the little brothers set off half an hour earlier than them in a carriage.
Shen Rong told the Zhao family earlier that he lacked a little guy who was working outside, and it happened that Ruyi had a cousin who could be trusted, so the Zhao family agreed.
This time, Qian Xiao was also mixed in the team.
Gu Mansion is in the Nine Turns Lane opposite to Shili Lane, it is an old house left over a hundred years, it is old up and down, although the pattern is not as varied as today's new house, but it is better than the simplicity.
Shen Rong got out of the carriage after Shen Lan, standing in the second gate of the Gu Mansion, looking at the maids of the blue and white gowns who came and went in an orderly manner, and the four-character plaque hanging high above the cantilever of the second gate, "Virtue and Virtue"
Only then did Shen Rong feel what a real famous family was.
It is not the gold powder paving the walls and the dazzling array of jade, but the rigorous family style and the smell of books in the house.
A beautiful and tall maid walked towards them, and her voice was soft: "The slave maid's name is Shuiyu, and she is specially serving Mrs. Shen and the girls. β
Zhao smiled lightly and ordered someone to take the gift to the little guy in front of the house.
Then I followed the pomelo.
Shen Ying saw that everything was fresh, she followed Shen Rong closely, for fear of losing it, and whispered: "Third sister, I'm a little scared, what should I do if I'm on a business trip for a while." β
"What can happen if you don't speak?" Shen Rong replied to her and quickly followed.
After bypassing the pavilion of the water pavilion, we arrived at the Qufu Hall in the mouth of the water pomelo, and the low and tactful laughter had already come out through the light curtain curtain.
"Although the rouge in the capital is good, it is not as good as the cloud grease cream in our city, and I love this cloud grease cream the most."
"That's it, just like I like Qin Xiuji's clothes and satin."
