Chapter 213: The Feast Begins
As soon as Lin Yuzhifu entered the courtyard, he heard the sound of laughter and laughter in the courtyard. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The fourth young master, Lin Yuzhi, had already arrived, and the sound of him laughing could be heard all over the garden, and the voices of the other sisters could be heard.
The third young lady Lin Mengru, the fourth young lady Lin Mengyan, and Miss Huang have all arrived, and Lin Yuzhi's voice has filled the courtyard, and they have also arrived, and the fifth young master Lin Fengzhi has also arrived. Lin Yuzhi is the latest.
Lin Mengfan and Miss Huang had already seen Lin Yuzhi, and the two walked over to Lin Yuzhi with a smile.
I only heard Lin Mengfan introduce to Miss Huang, "This is the talent of our Lin Mansion, Lin Yuzhi, the third son of Lin, is the same age as you, it is the birthday of March, naturally he is older than you, you just call him the third brother." ”
Lin Mengfan introduced Huang Xuerou while covering his mouth with a smile and snickering.
Lin Mengfan is the birthday of the first month, slightly older than Lin Yuzhi. looks two or three points like the eldest master, and should be more inclined to her aunt. Although it is slightly worse than Lin Mengshu, she is also a superb little beauty, and her logo is very. The beads on her head are ringed with emeralds, the clothes on her body are exquisite and gorgeous, and then looking back at the careful arrangement everywhere in her courtyard, it can be seen that her status in the big house is not low, and it can be said that she is very favored.
Huang Xuerou, Lin Yuzhi has already met once, she is a strong little girl, and she bowed first and said, "I've seen Miss Huang." This is just one salute, and there is no more.
Huang Xuerou looked at Lin Yuzhi so distant and polite, slightly disappointed, and sighed in her heart, but her temperament was refreshing, and she quickly adjusted her mentality, and she also smiled at Lin Yuzhi, "Third cousin, An!" I have admired the name of my third cousin for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary. The third cousin is dignified and talented, which is admirable. ”
"I don't deserve Miss Huang's praise so much." Lin Yuzhi replied politely.
"The third brother is really boring, and the name of Miss Huang and Miss Huang is not worth any points, isn't it more appropriate for Cousin Huang?" Lin Mengfan suggested playfully.
"Yes, Sister Huang has an outstanding personality and a fairy-like character, and there is no one who doesn't like it." Lin Yuzhi didn't know where to come out of, and said with a grin.
"Fourth brother, when will your temper change, learn from your second brother and third brother, don't just drill into the pile of women all day long, what can you do. Read carefully for a few days, and it is only serious to be a talent in the exam. Lin Mengfan put out her sister's money and scolded Lin Yuzhi lightly.
"The second sister is so boring, on a day like today, what kind of career economics is asked, it's strange and boring." Huang Xuerou helped Lin Yuzhi break the siege and pulled Lin Mengfan.
Since Huang Xuerou came to the Lin Mansion, Lin Yuzhi would come to the old lady's room every day to ask for peace, and by the way, he would come back to play with Huang Xuerou, and the two quickly became acquainted with each other, and the relationship became two points closer.
Lin Yuzhi is the second son of the second master, the brother of the noble lady in the palace, and the eldest is jade, gentle and affectionate, and he is very pleasing to girls. Huang Xuerou didn't see many men, she was young before, and her aunt wouldn't take her out to a party. Jiangxi Jiujiang Mansion is much worse in the end, and the wealth and romance are even more difficult to compare with Beijing, and outstanding people are also limited.
Lin Yuzhi was a little sneering in his heart, in front of Lin Yuzhi, he was taught by the second sister to do learning, and he was not easy to refute, so he was only sullen. Huang Xuerou persuaded Fang Cai to get better, and laughed again.
Lin Yuzhi saw that they were finished laughing, and then continued, "Don't deserve, don't deserve!" The sisters and brothers received the gifts, and after reading them, there were naturally the maids and servants below who took the gifts and put them away.
For a while, everyone in the courtyard thanked each other, and they all said that they were too polite, why should their own flesh and blood brothers be so polite. Lin Yuzhi only said, "It should be, it's just a little meaning, let's take it!" ”
Everyone dispersed again, and went about their own business.
Lin Mengfan commanded the little girl to see if the crab was ripe, and picked the big one to send it to the old lady's house first, and asked the old lady to taste it first, which was a little bit of the juniors' thoughts. He ordered the maid to give the eldest lady and the second wife's room, and the eldest and youngest grandmother and the second young grandmother's house, and sent them over separately, and asked everyone in the house to taste them.
Huang Xuerou accompanied Lin Mengru and Lin Mengyan to talk. He also took care of directing the little maids to serve crabs and hot rice wine to everyone, and arrange melons and fruits snacks.
Lin Mengru is a second-room concubine, she is thirteen years old this year, and her eyebrows, eyes and body have grown. There is really nothing bad about Lin Fu's genes, and each woman is a handsome character of Zhong Ling.
Although Lin Mengru is a concubine, she is a very good at looking at people's faces, and she is used to flattering and plattering, which is very liked by the second wife, which can be seen with her status and attention in the house.
The crowd laughed for a while, and then they all sat down separately for men and women, with twelve screens in between. The shape of the screen is simple, beautiful and simple. The size is also wider, and the decoration is gorgeous, giving people a sense of majesty, stability, and luxury. All of them are exquisitely handmade, and the wood used looks like a century-old elm, heavy and natural, hard and delicate. The carved pattern is composed of flowers such as plum orchid, bamboo chrysanthemum, peony and hibiscus, which is very elegant.
It can be seen that the wealth of the Lin Mansion is profound, and in the end, it is a family that has accumulated over the years, and after a hundred years of accumulation, there will always be some good things.
"Sister Huang is really curious and ingenious, appreciating osmanthus flowers, watching chrysanthemums, eating crabs, tasting good wine, and visiting the yard, how elegant she is. From the old lady to the brothers and sisters in our house, there is nothing I don't like. Lin Mengru exaggerated the atmosphere and said something pleasing to make everyone very happy.
While speaking, the crab has been served on the table, with extremely fat and huge crabs, and then there are four dishes of various hors d'oeuvres, four dishes of dried fruits such as almonds, and eight plates of hot dishes, each with meat and vegetables, chicken, duck and fish with complete dishes, and two pots of hot soup, with a small charcoal stove below, and the hot soup is still rolling with splashes, churning constantly.
Lin Yuzhi nodded in approval of Lin Mengfan and Huang Xuerou's exquisite arrangement. Very well thought out.
I also saw that there were two bamboo tables outside the cloister, one with cups and spoons and wine utensils, and the other with tea whisks and tea cups and various tea utensils. There are two or three girls fanning the stove to make tea, and a few girls on the other side are also fanning the stove to burn wine.
In modern times, crabs are usually eaten with white wine, and in ancient times, it was believed that rice wine and crabs were a perfect pairing. Although the crab is delicious, it is cold in nature, and it is easy to hurt the stomach and intestines if you eat more, and rice wine has the effect of invigorating blood and warming the stomach, and it is mild, so it has always been considered the best choice to remove the cold when eating crabs. Moreover, the sweetness of the crab meat and the sweetness of the rice wine are also extremely harmonious in taste, almost perfect.
