Volume 1 Chapter 44 A Little Misunderstanding?
Ge Mu secretly bowed her head.
Knowing the panic, it means that Qin Siniang is really looking forward to marrying into the Ge family, at this time, she is afraid that her mother and sister will argue with the Ge family in public, and the trouble will not end.
"The lady of the Ge family has always been okay?" Mrs. Wang didn't smile and talked to Ge's mother.
"It's always good, and Madame is still healthy?" Ge Mu smiled.
"TOEFL, like-minded."
"I haven't seen Mrs. Ge for a long time, in fact, I wanted to invite Mrs. Ge to come to the mansion for a long time, let's talk about a game, but I don't know if the little lady is willing to appreciate her face." Qin Fangzi deliberately bypassed and sat down next to Ge Xiaomei, imitating a smiling face that was highly similar to Mrs. Wang.
Even Peng's family was paying attention to Qin Siniang, seeing that she gave her sister-in-law a look, she was so nervous that beads of sweat condensed on her forehead, and she couldn't help but smile slightly: I haven't passed the door yet, and it is true that the marriage with the second uncle has not been skimmed yet, so I know that I am worried about the future sister-in-law, just looking at this is good,
"I'm not good at chess, I know that I can't beat Erniang, I'm still young, and my relatives don't worry about me going to other homes as a guest, and I hope Erniang will understand." Of course, Ge Xiaomei would not agree to the invitation, so she politely declined.
Ge Mu and Peng's two pairs of eyes were relieved to see Qin Siniang.
"Sister Ge is really modest." Of course, Qin Fangzi didn't really want to invite Ge Xiaomei to her house, in order to just lead to the next words: "It's not like your second brother, I got a few ancient books by chance, and after studying in Yue Gongtang, I won a few classmates in Yugongtang, and I felt that the chess skills were invincible in the world, I heard that I played three games with my second cousin last time, lost two games, and won one game miserably......"
Halfway through his words, he pursed his lips and smiled.
Ge Mu also wanted to smile: This Qin Erniang is really interesting, if the marriage is not completed, she will belittle Erlang's chess skills, what does it matter if Erlang plays chess well or not? Could it be that if she said this, it would really damage Erlang's talent?
Mother Ge didn't know Qin Fangzi's careful eyes, but Qin Siniang knew: The second sister belittled Ge Erlang with Second Brother Xu, did she want to marry Second Brother Xu? Think you're going to be able to overwhelm me? Marriage can also be used to fight for anger, the second sister is really the second sister.
She wasn't nervous at all.
It's not that Fangfei's little lady has changed her temperament to win, it's because she also knows that she will never be able to compete with the second sister, she is just worried that the second sister will retaliate against her and get into trouble with the Ge family, but she can't help the Ge family, she still remembers the last time Mrs. Luo looked at each other, she didn't say a few words right, she was looked down on by Mrs. Luo, and she wanted to open her mouth rashly today, but she said the wrong thing again...... It's that Daddy and Xiaoniang don't blame her, and she herself is ashamed to death.
If the second sister just wants to vent her anger, let the second sister come out, and it doesn't matter if the second sister marries Xu Erlang or not, even if the second sister marries into the palace, she will not be blushing.
Qin Fangfei could hear the meaning of her second sister's words, and Mrs. Wang naturally would not be unaware, so she "chuckled" in her heart, and couldn't wait to go back to the Xiangdi, and when she pulled her daughter to avoid idlers, she hurriedly asked: "Zi'er, why do you use your second cousin to step on the Ge family, aren't you ......?"
"Didn't A-Niang let me marry a famous child? Is there a famous family that is better than the second cousin? And A-Niang Mo can't see it, Qin Fangqi is also beating the idea of the second cousin, she is delusional, but I still want her to see that she can't marry someone, but I can marry, I want her to regret it every day, she ruined my marriage, I want to make her jealous and hateful to me for the rest of her life! ”
Mrs. Wang closed her eyes, feeling a little dizzy, but she didn't stop her daughter's thoughts, because she really felt in her heart that her daughter was completely worthy of Xu Mingxi, but the old lady didn't agree with her idea.
It's not that this can't be done, but it needs to be considered in the long run.
grabbed her daughter's hand: "Zi'er, listen, this matter must first seek the support of your wife, even if half of it is achieved, the other half is your aunt has to nod, your aunt is the most polite, looking cold, but soft-hearted, she also knows that your marriage has changed, I am afraid that as soon as we show our intentions, she will investigate why the Ge family regrets the marriage." If you let her know about Coral, she will definitely not allow you, you remember, if this matter can't be hidden, you must insist that Qin Fangqi framed you, but if your aunt didn't pursue it, you pretend not to know.
Wait a while, you will go to your aunt to force a smile, especially to Ah Jiao, be careful to flatter, let your aunt see that you are wronged, but swallow your anger, you don't care about other things first, wait for me to figure out a way. ”
Fang Qi didn't know that Qin Fangzi suddenly ate "swan meat" first, she was busy making those two dishes - a feast like E's Mansion today is actually scored several rounds, if Fang Qi is solely responsible for all the banquet tables with these two dishes, even if she is tired, she will not be able to complete the "mission", but since General E ordered these two dishes specially for Yan Chi, it means that it will be counted in the round of drinking, and General E also plans to drink with Yan Chi, so only these two dishes are needed.
After the preparation of the fang period, she can also quickly bathe and change her clothes with the help of the E family, get rid of the smell of oil smoke on her body, and appear at the banquet refreshed. It's not that if outsiders know about it, they will criticize Fang Qi for corrupting the atmosphere, it's just that she, as a lady of the Xiangdi, behaved as a cook at another family's banquet, and spreading it would damage the prestige of the Xiangdi.
Of course, Mrs. Li also understands the truth, so she still tells her daughter to wait for the Fang period.
When the fang period is cleaned up, there will be a while before leaving the feast.
"Our house actually has no landscape, only a small garden is still elegant, but today there are too many guests, the small garden can not be accommodated, fortunately in the front yard and backyard is quite spacious, today invited the six bureaus and four divisions of the banquet arrangement, they brought their own flower arrangement, but also responsible for providing incense, in the end it is not as orderly as other banquets, it seems that there is chaos everywhere, I will lead Ah Qi you to the small flower garden to visit, you can rest first, and then we will go to the inner hall when the banquet is about to start." Although it was about the embarrassment of the family, Eni did not feel inferior at all.
Fang Qi said with a smile: "Madam and Ah Ni have only been in Lin'an Mansion for a few days, although the mansion is a royal gift, but it has not been repaired and arranged when it was given, and it is rare to have such a weather now." ”
"I might as well tell Ah Qi, my aunt didn't think that there would be a day of feast guests, there are so many people in our family, even the cook was not invited, Ah Niang cooked, my brother and I helped, the meals of the master and servant are available, my aunt is not good at cooking, but she is good at making big pots of rice and big pot meat, this is all the skills that my father practiced when he was in the battlefield, our servants, in fact, are soldiers and their families who had to retire because of injuries and illnesses, this time Daddy was named the Duke of Xiangyang, and the court sent dozens of official slaves, My dad said that there are enough people to feast guests, thinking that the guests at the banquet are a big pot of rice, a big pot of meat, and a big pot of soup at most! ”
Aromatic period: ......
Everyone thinks like General E, I'm afraid that Aunt Wen will have to lose her job.
"How do I know that when Daddy inquired, he knew that there would be a banquet, and I was afraid that there would be hundreds of people in the kitchen alone! There are a lot of tricks to pay attention to, in short, you have to invite a banquet to arrange, good guy, the asking price is three hundred taels of silver! ”
"So cheap?" Fang Qi was also shocked.
"That's a bargain?!" Eni was even more shocked.
"How many people are there in the so-called four divisions and six bureaus?"
"There should be hundreds."
"There are more than 100 people, there are 160 people in the kitchen alone, and they are responsible for side dishes and cooking; The tea and wine division is in charge of welcoming and sending off guests, and there are fewer people, there are eighty-six people; The account manager set up sheds, moved screens, laid carpets, and set up tables and chairs, with a maximum of 206 people; Depending on the situation, there should be about 100 people at a thanksgiving banquet like your home today.
This is the four divisions, and there are six bureaus, the fruit bureau is responsible for the fruit plate, and the candied fruit bureau is responsible for desserts, and there are forty-five people in each of these two bureaus; The Oil Candle Bureau is responsible for lighting and heating, and it is summer, and the heating is replaced by cooling, 60 people; The incense pharmacy cleaned up the incense burner and provided sobering medicine, at least twenty people; The Vegetable and Vegetable Bureau specializes in meat and vegetarian dishes, with 88 people; There is also a row bureau, which is in charge of flower arrangement, hanging paintings, cleaning tables and benches and other cleaning decorations, one hundred and eight people. ”
Erni was completely stunned: "Good guy, there are about a thousand people here?!" Listening to Ah Qi say this, three hundred taels of silver seems to be a real price, after all, even the ingredients are prepared for the banquet, and there are so many ice basins, screens, tables and chairs, and other utensils, tsk, this cost is really not high. ”
Aromatic period: ......
"Which banquet was invited by General E?"
"I asked Yan Saburo to invite me."
Fang Qicai didn't make a fuss: "It turned out to be him, and he didn't seem to have anything to do, which is not surprising." ”
While speaking, the two had already walked into the small flower garden, and then Fang Qi saw Yan Bingdao sitting alone in the gazebo.
The Eni pulled the fang period and passed.
"Yan Lang, I asked Sanniang just now, only to know that the banquet was such a big show, but you put silver in it without telling my father and my mother?" E Ni took it for granted and said: "If this is the case, we can't worry about it, my family is not as poor as Yan Lang thought, although it is not much savings, but the official family is not rewarded with empty titles, as well as real money and silver, and I can still afford to invite a meal and a thanksgiving banquet." ”
Yan Chi treated Eni very politely: "I didn't post the money, but I heard that this banquet organizer was organizing a thanksgiving banquet for General E, and he proposed to only collect the guaranteed capital." ”
Only then did he stare at Fang Qi, as cold as ever, with a face of "How dare you still appear in front of me".
"Today's two dishes, quail crystal and green yundanyi, I made it." Fang Qi hurriedly flattered: "If you do it voluntarily, you don't dare to ask for credit." ”
Yan Chicai said to Eni: "Brother Ling saw that I didn't like to be noisy just now, so he specially asked me to come here to play, but in the middle of the way, a family member came to report that it was a matter of some importance that needed to be handled by Brother Ling, so Brother Ling walked away first." It's about to start at this time, Yan also took the first step, and the little lady asked for help. ”
Walk away.
Fang Qi sighed quietly, Yan Bingdao was really too difficult to please.
"Why did Ah Qi and Yan Lang have a holiday?" Even Eni could see Yan Chi's disregard for Fang Qi.
"There was a slight misunderstanding." Fang Qi gestured and pinched the tip of her index finger with the tip of her thumb.
"Then it doesn't matter, let me tell you, this Yan Lang is a powerful character, my father is not convinced by anyone, he can be conquered by him, and now he completely treats Yan Lang as a New Year's friend, just a little misunderstanding, he will not be a big contradiction with our daughter's family, if it is a big contradiction...... In my opinion, Yan Lang is very difficult to mess with, and to put it bluntly, he will be retribution. ”
Aromatic period: ......
Alas, if Yan Chi is sure that he has been fooled by me...... Is this a minor misunderstanding?
