Volume 1 Chapter 24 Fengsheng Yuan Banquet Collection
The old lady took a sip of calamus wine, and then smiled and said: "People live for a lifetime, like me is really blessed, today the Dragon Boat Festival family banquet, drinking the sick wine brewed by the sons and daughters of the family, eating the food cooked by the three girls themselves, wearing the health belt of the five girls' filial piety on the waist, listening to the funny words of the two girls, why envy some people who are famous all over the world?" β
I understood this for a long time before.
First, the old lady was covering up for Qin Fangzi, and she was joking with her ridiculous words, and she really boasted about her old man's wealth and well-being, but who was the last sentence aimed at? Who is famous all over the world? It's not going to be against my grandfather.
Qin Xun smiled as usual and said nothing.
Mrs. Wang didn't have a bad face at this time, and took over the conversation lightly and skillfully: "In the inner house, whether it is a lady or a woman, it should not be proud of being famous all over the world. β
"Today's words made my son feel ashamed." Followed by Qin Mu: "Those who enter filial piety are grandchildren, and the sons and daughters-in-law not only do not enter filial piety, but follow their parents to dip their eyes, and most of them go into the son's stomach when they look at this delicious fish." β
This is a joke.
Mrs. Li felt a heat on her face.
Because her husband didn't actually eat a few fish, but she couldn't stop eating.
Whoever makes the Yayu delicious and hard to come by, even if the Qin family is rich, there is no Yayu on the table from time to time, not to mention that the bowl of red oil is a condiment that has never been seen before, it is really rare.
The old lady saw that her second son was still on the road, and she became more and more pleased: "There is no daughter-in-law, where are the grandchildren, and if you don't teach them well, how can the grandchildren know about filial piety, and rest assured, I didn't take the opportunity to beat you, but Erlang did eat a lot of this plate of fish, and for a while, you can get some tea for me to drink." β
Qin Mu smiled and should be.
This time, Qin Jing felt uncomfortable.
The second brother was taught by his father since he was a child, and his talent was also high...... Don't talk about tea before the age of fifteen, I haven't even eaten tea a few times, and after becoming an heir, I only want to be famous, and I don't have time to be distracted.
The tea soup he ordered, he felt that it was difficult to swallow when he drank it, it wanted to be tasteless and shapeless.
Although Zhou Xiaoniang is very good at this, she can't let her concubine fight with her second brother at this time!
Qin Jing felt uncomfortable in his heart, and couldn't help but diverge his thinking, comparing himself with his second brother in all aspects.
It's not as good as Wencai, it's better than Fengya, it's better than the official position, although it's slightly higher at present, it doesn't seem to be as promising as the second brother, and it's more popular than ...... It seems that he can only bow to the wind, compared to appearance, forget this, he is more than ten years older than his second brother, how can a half-old man now compare with others in his prime. Compared with the wife, his wife is only a little superior to the mother and niece, compared to the son, the eldest son is sick and weak, and the child is a concubine, which is like the second brother has two sons-in-law and are both healthy and healthy, compared to the daughter, the younger brother is a room Fang Xu is smaller, but how to look at how to be more sensible than Fangzi.
It seems that only the concubine is better.
Sanniang and Siniang look better than Wuniang.
Especially the third daughter, her cooking skills are so good, don't talk about Wu Niang, looking at the ladies who are full of Lin'an, they are afraid of conceding.
So Qin Jing made an unprecedented day today, paying special attention to the Fang period, and even asked her: "How is your little lady in the Grange recently?" β
Naturally, he avoided Mrs. Wang and others asking in private.
Fang Qi was surprised, but his mood was excited, but he was ...... She also doesn't know the current situation of the little lady.
"I don't know the current situation of the little lady."
"Why, you haven't visited her in the Grange all these years?" Qin Jing frowned.
"When I heard that Xiao Niang went to the Grange, I wrote a letter to Xiao Niang, offering to visit, but Xiao Niang replied to her and warned her not to disturb Xiao Niang's purity, and then wrote a few more letters, but Xiao Niang did not open it and let the servants and maids send it back in their original envelopes." Fang Qi told the truth, her little mother treated her like this, and even the reply letter was very harsh, bluntly saying that if Fang Qi went to visit the Grange, it would force her to leave and force her to die.
Five years ago, she moved to Qiuliang Pavilion, if she hadn't heard Mrs. Wang talk about it, she didn't know that Xiaoniang invited herself to the grange.
Qin Jing's eyebrows were relaxed: "Your little lady is indeed a strange temperament, and it has been difficult for you all these years, but as long as you serve Mrs. Weng Weng well, your lifelong affairs will be handled by your elders." β
Fang's excited mood calmed down a little bit.
Father obviously only wants to use her as a tool, using her to win the favor of her grandfather and grandmother, how can she treat the fourth sister like her, the fourth sister doesn't have to do anything, and she is also the pearl of her father's palm, under the love of her father and Zhou Xiaoniang, she can spend her life carefree.
Unlike her, I'm afraid she won't survive if she is a little stupid.
He also said that after the Dragon Boat Festival dinner, Qin Xun accompanied his wife back to Guanchun Garden, and talked about the fact that he planned to rent the garden as the host in the two days, and his plan was of course to take advantage of the fact that the golden slash in the old wife's stomach had not been fully digested, and he could spend less lips and tongues when he was still thinking about the filial piety of the granddaughter of Fang Qi, how did he know that the old lady heard that Fang Qi invited the three brothers and sisters of the Xu family, and her eyebrows were raised.
"You old thing, don't you want to marry the third girl to Mingxi! I can tell you, you don't have to think about it! Mingxi is Lan Ting's son-in-law, his father and mother are all high-ranking families, how can his wife be a villain? Even Erniang, the eldest lady said a few times that I asked her to dispel this delusion, you don't have to think about messing around with the mandarin duck spectrum. β
"Huh, I still can't see through this bit of the world?" Qin Xun is not impatient or impatient: "I heard you say last time, Mingxi Niang took advantage of the second girl's relationship with Ge Erlang, and took advantage of the opportunity to beat the third girl, bluntly saying that the matter of marriage has been in accordance with the words of the matchmaker since ancient times, in the Xu family, it is never important to the wishes of the children, the third girl also understands that she can't climb Mingxi, and emphasized to me that she has no intention of marrying into the high gate, but Mingxi regards the three girls as brothers and sisters, and Mingxi Niang does not stop their brother and sister friends, and this time the three girls are the host, and it is not only the Xu family who is invited, but also the Li family's sons. Ordinary girlfriends are nothing more than playful, taking advantage of the customs of the people of the capital to enjoy a day of fun. β
The old lady's brows regained their balance: "That's it, as long as you don't have this delusion, no matter how cunning the third girl is, it won't work, but you spoil her so much, you don't really want to marry her to a poor man, right?" β
"That's naturally impossible." Qin Xun touched his beard and smiled incomprehensibly.
"The third girl is a concubine, not a concubine of a high family, unless the son is sick and disabled, he will choose a wife among the concubines. Or, it's the head of the real power portal, and the yuan is gone, and it is more beneficial to continue. The old lady thought about it herself, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "Xianggong Mo doesn't want to send the three girls into the palace?" β
It seems that the old lady thinks that it is a good thing to let Fang Qi enter the palace.
Being a concubine to the official family is different from being a concubine for the prince, such as the fifth prince, who wants to accept Fang Qi as a concubine and loves her, and it is Luo Guifei who pleases Fang Qi, so that it is difficult for the Qin family to control this concubine and obey her words, but entering the palace is very different, because such a beautiful and young woman enters the palace, she must become a common jealous person of the concubine, and it is the target of everyone.
"Zhou Shengren and Luo Guifei, and even Concubine De, Concubine Xian, and Concubine Shu's own families are all former ministers of the official family, except for Zhou Shengren, the four concubines all have adult princes for the official family, even if we send the three girls into the palace, I am afraid it will be difficult to cross the four concubines, but they have become hostile to the four concubines' own family, which will do more harm than good." Qin Xun still analyzed with his old wife in a good temper: "I still have to think about the marriage of the three girls, which can not only satisfy her, but also benefit us." β
The old lady sneered: "The three girls are good because their appearance follows the Su family, which is somewhat useful, but not all men are greedy for women, for example, Da Lang is a righteous gentleman, and the husband can get a long snack, don't choose from thousands of choices, choose a grandson-in-law who is similar to Da Lang, after all, the identity of the three girls and the little girl, but you can't hide it, and if you want others to find fault with this, it will be a good move in vain." β
"It's just that my old eyes are dizzy, don't I have a lady to check for me?" Qin Xun accompanied the smiling face, and finally persuaded the old wife to agree to let Fang Qi take the host.
On the edge of the West Lake, there are a lot of amusement gardens, but the promised to rent out, naturally are all businessmen to build, there is a Fengsheng Garden is one of the leaders, this is near Longjing Spring, looking at the vast smoke and waves, near the blue curtain thousands of winding, no sound of the market, there is the interest of the forest spring, Fengsheng Yuan has never lacked the official rental, the noble banquet, with only a few dozen taels of savings during the Fang period, it is impossible to rent a day, but this time she has the support of her grandfather, she does not have to worry about the consumption of money and silver.
The only way to escape the heat is to live up to its name.
Fang Qi is the host and invites many foreign guests, of course, he will not neglect his own siblings.
But Qin Fangzi held her daughter's shelf and refused to attend.
Zhou Xiaoniang was afraid that Fang Fei would be implicated, so she naturally found an excuse to refuse.
Wu Niang Fanglian said that Liu Xiaoniang was suffering from heat stroke, and she had to serve the sick, and it was inconvenient to go out to play.
Among the sisters, only Mrs. Li's daughter-in-law, Liu Niang Fangxu, happily traveled with Fang.
As a dignified mansion, of course, the lady can't be without her brother at the banquet, Qin Ze is weak, Mrs. Wang is never allowed to go out, Qin Yuan naturally volunteered, so Fang Qi invited a few Li Yuanfan brothers and sisters, as well as her grandfather's protΓ©gΓ© among the party members, and she can be compared to a few little ladies with handkerchiefs, such a party, in fact, it was not without it, but it was not Fang Qi as the host, either Qin Fangzi took the lead, or Xu Mingjiao invited the gathering, she was mostly an escort.
And today is not only Xu Mingxi and Xu Mingjiao, but even Xu Mingxi's brother Xu Mingjiang and his new wife Cen Niang are also happy to be invited.
Naturally, Xu Mingjiao successfully brought in his friend Ge Lanhui.
