Chapter 196: Guest
Seeing that Old Madam Cui looked like she was in a state of despair, Bai Cha couldn't help but tug on Fu Hui's sleeve worriedly, and cast an inquiring look at the most faceless big girl in front of the old lady to see how to solve this situation now?
Seeing that Fleur, who was distracted, was dragged back to her senses by her, she took away the blank look on her face and hid her thoughts in the deepest part of her heart.
Changing into the gentle smiling face of the day, he raised the jade jade rabbit in his hand and wiped his forehead with a medicine pestle, and asked his master softly: "Old lady, look, how is the forehead wiping of this jade jade rabbit?" ”
"The maid feels that the water head of this jade is excellent, and the color is very compatible with your royal blue embroidered gold pine crane pattern gown, which is dignified and not dazzling when matched, and it is very comfortable to look at."
"You can also come and see if the eyes of the servant are still to your liking?"
Old Madam Cui, who was in deep thought, was alarmed by Furui's soft voice, raised her eyes and saw that she was crashing into the girl's eyes full of concern.
This child has been serving by Mrs. Cui's side since she was a child, and she has a clear understanding of her preferences and temperament, and has always served her comfortably.
And what satisfies Mrs. Cui the most is that Fu Hui can still keep her nature in this deep mansion compound, and she does not have the same idea of climbing high branches like the maid next to her.
In the winter of last year, Mrs. Cui asked Mrs. Cui for Furui, saying that she wanted to be an aunt to Gongzi Cui, Furui was capable, and she could help Grandma Cui take care of the yard in the future.
The old lady originally felt that the eldest grandson's personality was a little soft, although Grandma Cui was jealous. But the heart is not ruthless enough, thinking that Fu Hui has passed, at least he will not be angry, and if he wants to live a peaceful life, it is not difficult, so he nodded.
When she looked for an opportunity to mention this matter in front of Furao, who knew that this girl clearly said that she was unwilling, saying that she was unwilling to be a concubine, and would rather be a small girl to be a flat-headed couple.
Fleur's idea is actually the most correct. Look at these maids who make concubines. How many can have a good end?
Her unusual choice really made the old lady look down on her, and since then, she has become more and more trustworthy to Fleur.
Old Madam Cui saw that her confidant maid was quite calm. But the eyes were full of worry. But it was her heart that was panicked. Revealed a full ten.
She looked around again, and several maids in the house, including Pan's mother, were silent. The expressions on their faces were very stiff, and it was obvious that they were frightened by the scene just now.
If it was left in the past, the old lady Cui, who was already in a bad mood, would not be bothered to say anything, but today is different, and the older old lady will not go to the big living room for a while, and all of them will come to her room for a party.
If these people are still wearing smiling faces that are more ugly than crying, then what bad words will be said by Qi Ming'er.
"Alas, don't worry about it, let's get past the things in front of you first" As soon as she thought of this, Mrs. Cui put away her sentimentality, folded up a thousand spirits, hid the sadness on her face, and nodded slowly, "It's good, your eyes are getting better and better now, and Pan's mother is indispensable." ”
"Today is a good day for your ninth lady, and the old body naturally wants to dress up spiritually, so as to earn face for her, right?"
"Here, bring it."
Mrs. Cui looked at the mirror in front of her, watching Hibiscus and Baicha carefully insert jewelry for her, lest these hairpin rings inlaid with gems and jadeites accidentally hurt her scalp.
I couldn't help but feel a little touched in my heart, and said: "Today's guests come and go, and you all have to be busy, and you have to work hard." ”
"Mother Pan, you went to open the cabinet and rewarded the people of our Songcui Courtyard, so that they could have spirits, right?"
"Hey, the old slave will do it." When Pan's mother saw Mrs. Cui's overture, she suddenly felt relaxed in her heart, bent her knees with a smile and accepted the order, and asked thoughtfully: "Old lady, do you think it can be done according to the example of Miss Seven's engagement reward?" ”
Since Zhang Jianchen heard Qi Xuanhui's words, he had already written a reply to his family, saying that he was willing to ask for Miss Seventh of the Cui family, but because others were in Jiangnan, he couldn't come back for a while.
Therefore, the two families exchanged Geng posts first, and combined the eight characters, which was considered to be the case, until the dust settled on the Jiangnan side, and Yang Junyao was allowed to return to the capital by Qi Xuanhui in the first batch.
The two families officially held an engagement ceremony, and the wedding date was set in May, because Cui Wanjuan was a concubine, so the reward could not be higher than that of a concubine.
And today is Cui Wanqing's ceremony, which is a little worse than getting engaged, so it is the most suitable to reward Cui Wanjuan's engagement.
As soon as Mrs. Cui heard Pan's mother's words, she immediately understood the key, nodded and smiled: "You are the most knowledgeable person, so good, just do what you say." ”
As soon as they saw the smile on the master's face, the people in the room breathed a sigh of relief, plus there was still a reward to be given, and they swept away the silence just now, and they all smiled happily.
As soon as Mrs. Cui was dressed up here, someone outside sang loudly, "Mrs. Cao Laohou is here, Mrs. Ming'an Hou is here, Mrs. Cao Second is here, and Miss Cao is here."
This is already a guest coming to the door, this point is really a bit early, Mrs. Cui hasn't even set breakfast here, but who let Mrs. Cao Laohou be Cui Wanqing's grandmother?
It is also reasonable for people to come early, Mrs. Cui went to greet her in person, and instructed: "The in-laws came so early, breakfast must not be good, go and let the small kitchen steam a few more cages of shrimp dumplings, wrap some small wontons and send them, today can be a long day, anyway, first eat your stomach and then talk." ”
Mrs. Cao Laohou came in, and when she heard Mrs. Cui say about small wontons, she was not polite at the moment, and said directly, "Make some of that assorted potstickers, light and not greasy and fragrant, our cook, obviously the same recipe as your family, but not as delicious as your home, I always feel that something is missing, do you say strange?" ”
Old Madam Cui stretched out her hand and took her hand, and said with a smile: "I know that your assorted potstickers are missing." ”
As soon as she said this, even Mrs. Ming Anhou asked curiously: "Auntie, is there any seasoning missing from our family?" ”
"Hey, isn't it just our family's assorted potstickers, which have more flavor of her granddaughter?" Old Madam Cui said seriously.
Most people didn't react to this cold joke in time, but Cao Tang was clever, so he blurted out at the time: "Haha, grandmother, Grandma Cui is laughing at your rare granddaughter!" ”
Only then did everyone understand, and they couldn't help laughing, and everyone laughed happily and sat down in the main hall one by one. (To be continued.) )
