At this time, it was lunch time, and the food came out of the big kitchen, and the chefs specially added dishes today, and the dishes were extremely rich. Master Bai was happy today and drank a few more glasses. Lan Muya's stomach was uncomfortable, and when she smelled the wine, she couldn't help but turn her back and feel nauseous, and then excused herself and returned to Yaxuan.

In the evening, the family knew that Master Bai wanted to hold a feast this time, and invited him to celebrate his middle-aged and happy son. Bai Shilang even made a formal decision: Aunt Luo gave birth to two sons and made great contributions, and wanted to raise them to be equal wives, second only to Mrs. Lan Muya, and the family should call her the second lady in the future.

Lan Mu Yaden was annoyed: although she disdained to compete, if she wanted to be on an equal footing with Hua Louzi, then what had become of her, the lady of the waiter?

Mama Fang came up with an idea: go back and tell Master Hou to go.

But Lan Muya was not happy to go back to her parents' house for help, she was determined to fight Bai Yunqi to the end with her own strength for the sake of her dignity. She clearly told Bai Yunqi that she did not agree with the matter of his wife. It's okay to hold a banquet to celebrate, but I was so angry that I felt unwell, so I asked Aunt Luo to preside over it by herself.

Bai Fusu was a little embarrassed when he saw his mother and father vomiting. My father had sent out the invitation, and many officials and nobles would come to the banquet. If the mother picks on her son at this moment, in the eyes of outsiders who don't know the inside story, she will only think that the mother, the lady of the main house, is jealous, and it will affect the mother's reputation!

She thought about it and asked Mr. Shangguan for advice. As a result, when Shangguan heard this, he only said to her meaningfully: "The filial piety is the king, the younger brother is the leader, and the benevolent is the people." "That's it.

Bai Shao was confused when she heard this, and on the way back, she couldn't help but secretly ask, "Girl, what does Mr. Shangguan mean by this?" ”

Bai Fusu pondered for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "I understand what Mr. means, I have to do this thankless thing now!" ”

After going back, Bai Fusu immediately went to the study to ask his father Bai Yunqi, indicating that his mother had indeed been unwell recently, and that as the eldest daughter, she had been in charge of the housework in the house, and she was willing to come forward to preside over the banquet in the house on behalf of her mother.

Bai Shilang was worried about this matter, and when he heard this, he turned his worries into joy, and immediately ordered the chief housekeeper Li Yi to follow the eldest lady's arrangement and make every effort to organize this banquet in the mansion.

Li Yijing's last return to Jingzhao Mansion was originally very resistant to Bai Fusu, the young lady. But Bai Fusu didn't seem to have any grudge against him at all, and when she asked about something, she was sincere and modest, and she would ask his opinion on the arrangement of affairs first. So slowly the big butler relaxed her guard, her face was not so cold and hard, and occasionally helped her point out some mistakes.

Seeing this, Bai Fusu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Shangguan Cheng taught her: Guigu Ziyun, Jueren's deception is not indignant. The art of war is also cloudy: believe and be safe, yin to plan, prepare and then move, do not make changes: rigid and soft outside.

So the first step is to "believe and be at ease", and now it seems that the results are obvious, and she has done it.

Li Yi is a rough person, and seeing that the little girl is quite knowledgeable now, he is very proud in his heart, and takes advantage of the situation to take many purchasing rights for himself. Bai Fusu knew that he wanted to be greedy for money, but his face was silent, he just praised him for being an old man who was worthy of doing things, and it was more reliable to arrange things in the end.

For a time, the Shilang Mansion was divided into two major factions: the eldest lady faction headed by Mama Fang, and the second lady faction headed by Li Yi.

However, the chief housekeeper Li Yi seemed to have some problems with Luo Anran, and he was even more unapologetic about her nephew Luo Feng, and even mentioned it in an extremely disgusted tone.

That's another puzzle!

Under the tense arrangement, the day of the banquet soon came.

For this banquet, Bai Fusu planned several days in advance, and tried his best to make no mistakes. Now the mother and father are angry with each other because of the matter of the equal wife, which shows that they will not care about the matter; If you can't do it well, how will outsiders look at your mother, the lady?

She and the big housekeeper Li Yi continued to be humble and wronged, and when the two met, they both had extremely sincere expressions on their faces, and sometimes Li Yi even shed a few old tears when he mentioned the past, and looked at Fusu with a chill.

But despite a lot of preparations, the crowd of guests that day still surprised Fusu. She even saw some familiar faces: people from the Fuguo Prince's family, Lord Jiang Zongyong of Jingzhao Mansion, and Yan Shaoyin; The personable outsider Li Fei is also among them!

There are even more female guests. Except for the aunts and aunts and cousins of the Marquis Zhongyong's Mansion, almost all the daughters of many officials were present. Bai Yunqi is a waiter of the Ministry of Works, an official of the second rank of the imperial court, and he is still very thin in the court.

What's more, being able to have a child again in middle age is a great joy in a man's life!

The chief housekeeper Li Yi helped the master entertain the male guests, and the female guests were in charge of the eldest lady, and the young lady Bai Furui helped.

Let's say that Miss Bai Fuhui is already very beautiful, and today she has the heart to show herself to the ladies in the capital, so she really worked hard to dress up. She was sweet and obedient again, and for a while she saw Miss Bai Er shuttling between the ladies like a butterfly, and many ladies asked each other who this was, which was very eye-catching and out of the limelight.

Bai Fusu is much cleaner in comparison. She was ordinary-looking, not very good-looking, and didn't speak much. The ladies who don't know each other praise at most "good etiquette and grace", and that's also for the sake of her eldest lady. She was busy for a long time, and when she saw that the guests had been arranged, and a group of female guests were talking around Bai Fuyuan, she quietly withdrew.

Fusu was really hungry in his stomach. I got up at the fourth watch today, and after only drinking two mouthfuls of tits, I went to take care of the banquet dishes, where to have a leisure. When she slipped down the path into the kitchen, she saw that the soup cake was not ready. Chef Li saw the eldest lady and hurriedly handed over a plate of freshly steamed chestnut pies. Bai Fusu ate a few pieces in one go and drank a few sips of tea before suppressing his panic.

Chef Li was very eye-catching, thinking that the young lady must be hungry, and asked diligently: "There are a lot of affairs today, but I'm afraid that there will be a while to be busy." Why don't you make a bowl of soup and cakes for you to eat first? The noodles and pigeon soup are ready-made. ”

Bai Fusu waved his hand to stop: "No need." I'll talk about it when I'm done, and I'm not in a hurry at this time. "Throwing a bunch of guests to hide and eat noodles is not a joke!

There is a path in the kitchen that leads to the living room. Tang Yi was about to hurry back, when she suddenly saw a person flashing by the side of the road, and said to her, "Miss, don't come to harm?" ”

I saw that the man was extremely handsome, his face was as clear as a carving, and his angular face was unusually handsome. Just looking at the appearance, he seems to be a bohemian and uninhibited gentleman, but the inadvertent light in his eyes shows that this person is not ordinary.

He was tall and wore a lake-blue satin robe with expensive brocade trim and a fine white hosta in his jet-black hair. No matter who looks at it, they can't help but exclaim: "What a young man." ”

This person is none other than Master Li Fei, a member of Chang'an.

For some reason, Bai Fusu didn't like to see Li Fei's peach blossom eyes. She felt that this man was too shrewd, as if she had an unobstructed view in front of him, and there were no secrets to speak of.

This feeling made her very uncomfortable, and she subconsciously wanted to retreat.

Li Fei caught a glimpse of her first showing a rare and brief dilemma, and then returned to her previous polite and polite posture, which was very interesting. The eldest lady said hello and was about to slip away, but Master Li Fei decided to tease her.

"Miss, please wait a minute."

"You've probably just eaten, haven't you? Look at your face full of cake crumbs. ”

Bai Fusu froze suddenly. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Li Fei's face was full of sincere expressions of "for your sake", and she was even more embarrassed, and her face turned red. She tried to act as if nothing had happened, but she couldn't help but glare at him.

This person! He must have done it on purpose, otherwise why would he say it? It's good to pretend you don't see it!

And you have to say it to a noble lady in person! How embarrassing is a woman!

Li Fei smiled slightly: "Miss, you look like a girl now." Don't always learn to be as old-fashioned as Guan Cheng, the little girl has to become a little old lady. ”

"......" Bai Fusu was speechless. How could this man be so frivolous!

He is a dignified member of the Ministry of Labor, how can he tease the girls in his boss's family?

Li Fei was annoyed when he saw her, and he felt even more interesting: it was not easy to finally see this old-fashioned little adult break his work!

Seeing him laughing, Bai Fusu immediately turned around and left, deciding not to pay attention to this disciple anymore.

Li Fei's voice behind him followed: "Miss, you do have cake crumbs on your mouth, this official has never lied to you." ”

Bai Fusu decided not to pay attention to Li Fei's words from now on. Walking out of the courtyard, a passing maid passed by with a tray in her hand, and a few cups of fragrant tea were placed on the tray. Bai Fusu saw that it was the flower tea she liked to drink, so he took a cup and sat on the side of the road.

After drinking the tea, Bai Fusu was about to walk to the banquet hall, but as soon as he got up, the sky swirled and he almost fell to the ground;

She hurriedly held on to the flower tree beside her, and secretly screamed in her heart, "It's not good, I'm afraid it's someone else's way!" The first thing she thought of was the big housekeeper Li Yi, could it be that he wanted to strike first to avenge the revenge of the day? She is also the eldest lady in the house, and Li Yi is a thief who is not cowardly.

But after thinking about it again, my father attaches so much importance to today's banquet, if something happens to her today, the first person to eat is Wang Liyi herself. When you think about it, it's unlikely.

Luo Anran was still recuperating in the house, and Bai Furui was busy in the limelight, but she was afraid that she didn't want anything to happen to herself even more than herself......

So, who else will there be?!

Bai Fusu only felt that bursts of heat were steaming up from his body, and his burning face was red. She was young on the outside, but her soul on the inside was already an adult woman, not an ignorant girl, so she couldn't help but be shocked and angry: shameless people, could it be that he still put that indiscriminate drug in the tea?

Don't stay here for long!

Fusu kept the teacup in the ground, picked up a sharp shard in his hand, and stabbed it hard in his arm. A sharp pain struck, and there was finally a moment of clarity in my mind.

At this time, a lazy voice came: "Miss, why are you in such a hurry?" With the voice, a familiar person came out from behind the flower tree next to him: Luo Feng!

Luo Feng looks like a scribe, but he is a little nondescript. The scarf on his head was also crooked. When he saw that the shrewd Bai Fusu finally got started, he almost smiled with his eyebrows and nose: "Don't worry, eldest lady, Brother Luo will accompany you!" ”
