Chapter 529: Buffet
At least on the surface, Ruoyun is still Wang Wanting's cousin, she hopes to be friendly with Ruoyun, at least let King Zhao and the people in King Zhao's Mansion know that she is good friends with Ruoyun, and let King Zhao know that she is still useful and can contribute to King Zhao.
And if she can really make friends with Ruoyun through this, then it will not be enough to win over Ruoyun to win over the Dingguo Mansion behind her. After all, Ruoyun's younger brother is the prince of Dingguo, and Ruoyun himself is also the lord of Anyang, so the weight of these identities is also heavy enough.
And she also thinks that in the future, Ruoyun will definitely marry a prominent family, so that she can also win over her in-laws through Guò Ruoyun.
With these powerful helpers, she must be able to have a place in King Zhao's heart, and she can also fight in the ring with Princess Zhao, and she can still live in the backyard of King Zhao's mansion!
Therefore, she gave Ruoyun a post in advance than Princess Zhao, and even greeted Ruoyun in such a familiar and intimate manner in front of everyone, all in order to release a signal to the outside world, that is, her relationship with the county lord of Anyang is good!
She felt that Ruoyun was a young girl's family, and she had just come to the capital and had no friends, and with the temptation of words and some actions, she would definitely be able to pull her to her side.
But I didn't expect that the purpose of this invitation was not achieved, and at this time, it was debunked by Ruoyun in public, and they had not been in touch for six years, and her face was a little unbearable!
"Cousin, why don't you sit down with me, we sisters haven't seen each other for many years, just to catch up!" Wang Wanting plans to change her strategy and get acquainted with Ruoyun first, because Ruoyun obviously doesn't eat this set of self-cooked!
"Eldest sister, it turns out that you are here, we are going to go to the buffet area to get something to eat, everyone is waiting for you to go together!" At this time, Bai Ruoyu suddenly walked over and interrupted the conversation between Ruoyun and Wang Wanting.
Ruoyun glanced at Bai Ruoyu, she didn't believe that Bai Ruoyu would be so kind and asked herself to eat, but she could just use Bai Ruoyu to get rid of Wang Wanting, she didn't want to sit with Wang Wanting, so she exchanged a few words with Wang Wanting, and followed Bai Ruoyu.
In fact, Bai Ruoyu really didn't want to call Ruoyun, but Xia Fangtong opened her mouth and urged her to go over and call someone, so she could only do it.
Xia Fangtong had received her sister's instruction today to try to win over Ruoyun as much as possible, and there was another instruction that the side concubine could not be allowed to go with Ruoyun, so when she saw Wang Wanting pestering Ruoyun, she called Bai Ruoyu to call someone.
Although Princess Zhao knew that if someone in the palace co-opted Bai Ruoyun, it would be beneficial to her husband, but this person could not be Wang Wanting, because the two of them had become rivals since the moment they married into the Zhao Palace, so she should also come forward to win over, and not let the opponent grow into power!
And Bai Ruoyu wanted to refuse, but she thought that she could take Ruoyun to the buffet area to see her make a fool of herself, and she was happy to do so, so she came over.
When Bai Ruoyu took Ruoyun over, Xia Fangtong, Xia Fangfei and the others had already waited any longer.
Obviously, Xia Fangfei and those nobles have a lot of opinions about waiting for Ruoyun, and the eyes that look at Ruoyun are quite unkind, but it is inconvenient to say anything because of Ruoyun's identity and Xia Fangtong's maintenance.
Only Xia Fangtong was waiting for Ruoyun with a smile on her face.
Ruoyun even heard Feng Yixiu, the granddaughter of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War, muttering to Xia Fangtong: "Fangtong is also your good temper, what are you waiting for her!" ”
Ruoyun not only walked over with a smile, but nodded to everyone, not even bothering to say a long sentence! I didn't let everyone wait for anyone, but this Xia Fangtong did superficial work, which was too hypocritical, and she was tired to watch!
Seeing that Ruoyun didn't even say sorry, everyone snorted coldly, and then took their girls to the pick-up area.
Although the operation area of the chefs was far away, the food was brought to a close place by the subordinates of the Zhaowang Mansion.
A colorful shed was set up on the grass not far from the small building by the water, and the meals were placed there on a long table, and I think the same is true for the male guests.
This makes it easier for people to pick up their meals, and the smell of the food does not affect the aroma of the waterside building.
Although everyone took Ruoyun to the food picking area, they all didn't move, and looked at Ruoyun with their spare eyes, just to see what she would do, to see if she would see such a meal that she had never seen before.
At this time, a group of girls came over, all with smiles on their faces, brisk steps, and chatting as they walked.
When one of the tall and beautiful girls led by them saw Xia Fangtong's side, the smile on her face was restrained, but then she walked over with someone and said to Xia Fangtong: "Fangtong, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's always been good!" ”
When the noble girls behind Xia Fangtong saw this girl, they all blessed themselves and said, "I've seen the county lord of Yanzi!" ”
And the girls behind this girl also bowed to Xia Fangtong and said, "I've seen the county lord of Fangtong!" ”
The people on both sides bowed down, so it was obvious that Ruoyun who was standing on the side was extremely abrupt.
After Xia Fangtong and Liu Yanzi both shouted, there was a girl in red clothes behind Liu Yanzi, who pointed at Ruoyun dissatisfiedly and scolded: "Whose girl is this, why is this so ignorant of the rules, but she didn't meet the county lord of Yanzi!" ”
As soon as she said this, several people on Xia Fangtong's side couldn't help laughing, Bai Ruoyun is the county lord, and this Liu Yanzi is the county lord, and it is Liu Yanzi who wants to meet Bai Ruoyun, but no one came out to correct Ruoyun's name, just stood aside and watched the excitement.
Anyway, they don't have a good relationship with Bai Ruoyun and Liu Yanzi, and it's not bad to watch the two of them fight!
Even Xia Fangtong seemed to be anxious, but it gave people the appearance that they couldn't explain it for a while, and they were anxious with their mouths open. Ruoyun knew she did it on purpose!
However, Ruoyun still shook his head with a smile, and ignored the woman in red, but walked into the shed of the district dining area with Donghong and Dongqing.
What can she say to show her identity, let this Liu Yanzi come to see her, this kind of behavior is not only contemptuous to people like her, but also offends Liu Yanzi, especially in front of Liu Yanzi's opponent Xia Fangtong, who will be the most ruthless to Liu Yanzi.
And now she doesn't bother to argue with the woman in red here, and she has surrendered her identity a little! So she ignored her and walked away.
When Ruoyun walked into the food picking area, everyone looked at her, just wait for Ruoyu to look at this dazzling array of food, I don't know where to start, it's good to have some foreign appearances, so that they will have some conversation after they go out, after all, people who have just started to contact this buffet generally don't know how to get it.
When this buffet first became popular in the capital, some people would even move a stool, sit down directly to the long table and eat, saying that it was delicious, and saying that the things were too much and too long, and that they could only eat one at a time, and if they wanted to eat something else, they had to get up and walk over, which was a pity.
There are even people who don't know how to use those plates and cutlery, or some people who want to eat and just take the big tray of food away, but they are stopped, and there are a lot of jokes during the period.
But just when everyone was waiting to see Ruoyun's joke, they saw Ruoyun walking in gracefully, and he didn't do it at all.
The two girls who followed her took some cutlery from the tableware, one took a large tray with a lot of small plates on the tray, and the other took one or two shelves with vegetables.
Ruoyun didn't do anything, she walked in front, and when she saw which dish she wanted to eat, she stretched out her finger and pointed, and Donghong behind her would take a clean small plate from Holly's tray, put some on the shelf in her hand, and then put it back in the tray.
Along the way, the little butterflies on the tray were filled with Ruoyun's favorite food, and Donghong and Holly cooperated very tacitly, one person held it, one person served the vegetables, and there was no slightest mud and water in the middle, basically where Ruoyun pointed and where they hit.
And Ruoyun only needs to walk elegantly all the way, and then easily complete the process of picking up the meal, and everyone also pays attention to a small detail in the middle, that is, the two shelves in Donghong's hand are not mixed, one shelf for sweet food, and one shelf for various dishes, so that the food will not be crossed.
This small detail makes a bystander not only a little sideways, they usually use a shelf, sometimes the sweet will inevitably be stained with some vegetable soup, which affects some taste, but I didn't expect to be able to do it.
In fact, sometimes it's just a small detail, but people often ignore it if they don't pay attention to it.
After finishing the meal, Ruoyun walked out of it and saw the girls who were still watching her outside, so she said, "Everyone hurry up, the dishes will be cold for a while, which will inevitably affect the taste!" ”
Everyone has a feeling of waking up from a dream, some people look at Ruoyun with eyes that are no longer so hostile, after all, some of the ladies still have vision, they see Ruoyun's demeanor calmly, generous and decent, and even the two girls behind them also have a dignified temperament, so they know that this new Anyang county lord should not be the rumors and rumors from the outside world.
Someone nodded at Ruoyun in a friendly manner, and then walked into the food picking area with the girl, and some of the girls were also clever, and immediately learned the appearance of Donghong and Holly just now.
They usually serve the plate to the two of them, and if they want to hold something, they will inevitably put the plate square, and then take the things and serve them up, so that not only is it a little troublesome, but sometimes it is inevitable that some soup will be spilled out and it is not sightly, just like Donghong and Holly, it is convenient and elegant.
