Chapter 336: Family Banquet (Medium)
The dishes, the good wine was handled by Chu Hanlu's two maids, and they were put on the round table one after another, and he got up and walked next door to tell Li Wenxuan that it was time to eat. She could see from the face of her man who slowly stood up that she had a good chat with Jung In-ki. I felt that I didn't do this thing, but did it well, so that I was able to have a long face in Li Wenxuan's Chu Hanlu, and it was only then that I let go of the heart that had been hanging.
When he arrived at the outhouse, there was no false politeness, there was no doubt that Li Wenxuan was sitting in the main seat, and on the left hand side was sitting Chu Hanlu's mother Song Jingui. On her right hand is Chu Hanlu herself, and next to her is the eldest sister Chu Hanyue, and down in turn are Chu Hantian and Zheng Renji. The six of them sat down in a circle.
At this moment, in different courtyards in the mansion, Li Wenxuan's other four rooms have different opinions. Zhao Tianer and Lin Ruoxi, who had eaten the big banquet for several days, both ordered people to serve them some light vegetarian dishes and black rice porridge. Although the two of them coincidentally thought of eating vegetarian together tonight, the vegetarian food on their respective tables was completely comparable to the chicken, duck and fish meat on ordinary people's tables, which were several times more expensive.
At this time, the capital in winter, not the Beijing of later generations, can be transferred from the surrounding provinces and cities at will to transport flowering greenhouse vegetables, out of season melons and fruits in. There are two kinds of vegetables in the cellar of ordinary people's houses, white radish and Chinese cabbage. Even the vegetarian food on the table for both of them was extremely commonplace, and it became unusual. The truth is actually very simple, the relationship between supply and demand. As soon as this supply decreases, the price will naturally become more expensive. Even the day before yesterday, Li Zimo was making a fuss about the green vegetables that he didn't eat, and the prices were more expensive than meat.
Lin Ruoxi, who is most favored by Li Wenxuan, and Zhao Tianer are not jealous. Plus, they all have children. Even if he doesn't come to spend time with him, the night will not be sad and boring. On the contrary, when he comes sometimes, not only does he not become very happy because of it, but he only thinks that he is out of place to add to the blockage.
As for Qiu Yue, she knew that she was like this, and she couldn't get better. It's not bad to go there, either get together with your maids to laugh and play, or embroider, read some easy-to-understand books, and when you are sleepy and tired, you go to bed indiscriminately. Only Su Meiniang, who loves to eat dry vinegar, saw that the sky was dark. The people who cared about Li Wenxuan very much were there. If he is in Xiaoxiang Pavilion and Lanxin Pavilion, he will recognize it even if he doesn't recognize it in his heart. If she knew that he was not in these two places, then her heart would not be at peace. He will do everything he can to pull Li Wenxuan from elsewhere to her.
Chunxiang, who had just put down the meal and was standing next to her, knew that the master was in Wuyuan, so she knew that she was the master of her mother, so she took the initiative to ask: "Grandma." Am I going to invite you right now? ”
Su Meiniang, who was not in a hurry, sat down slowly. Picking up the chopsticks with his right hand, he took a bite of chicken shoots and ate them, saying, "Don't worry." Since the master is having dinner with the Chu family, then don't disturb his Yaxing. It's not too late for you to come back in an hour. As for what to say, I don't need to teach you any more! ”
Chunxiang, who was smiling with a smile on her face, nodded vigorously and said with a smile: "The slave knows the way." "Su Meiniang, who is pregnant with a child in her belly. He lowered his head slightly to look at his protruding abdomen, and couldn't help but gently stroke it up and down three times with his left hand, smiling quite proudly.
worked hard to tie up her Chunxiang, not only trying to be promoted to the position of a second-class maid, but also trying to squeeze out Dongxiang. became the personal maid of the housemother, and said flatteringly: "Looking at the shape of the housemother's belly and the amount of food eaten every day, it is enough to conclude that you must be pregnant with a little young master of our Li Mansion in this belly." Su Meiniang, who likes to listen to this kind of words, instantly bloomed with a happy smile on her face, and she was very satisfied.
Xia Xiang, a third-class maid who is also standing next to her, has always had her own little calculations and selfishness. As for the pursuit, it is also to be promoted to the ranks of senior maids. Not to be left behind, she didn't want to see Chunxiang show her face in front of her mother and said: "Grandma is pregnant with a brother, and there is no suspense." The slave dared to say boldly, our little young master will definitely be more favored and loved by the master than Young Master Zimo and Young Master Tianyou. ”
Su Meiniang, who was very comfortable physically and mentally, focused her attention on her, and her smile did not change: "Little Nizi, your little mouth is like touching honey." Go to the Wuyuan to invite the master to come to my errand, Chunxiang doesn't have to go this time, and I'll let you invite. If you invite this, you will naturally be rewarded, but if you don't come, you will be punished. ”
Xia Xiang, whose face bloomed with a bright smile in an instant, hurriedly made a blessing to her, and said loyally: "Grandma, you can rest assured." The slave and maid will definitely live up to their mission, and they will definitely invite the master to you. The slave is very fortunate to be able to serve in front of you, that is the blessing of the previous life, the person who was born is grandma, and the death is also grandma's ghost. ”
Seeing that she robbed Chunxiang of the errand that was originally her face and meritorious service, she had a bad attack with an expressionless face, but she hated her in her heart. I have long heard that Su Meiniang intends to promote one person to a second-class maid, and on Qiu Shuangzhai's side, there are a total of eight slaves and maids, and only herself and Xia Xiang are third-class maids. Except for the other party, there is no one else here who can compete with him for this position.
Xia Xiang, who also understood that this was not her and me, looked at Chunxiang deliberately with her eyes, and did not forget to smile provocatively. At this time, Dong Xiang, who was also serving in the house, was no less complicated, entangled and stressed than the two of them. Although she was afraid of Su Meiniang and wanted to change to a housewife to serve, she was completely reluctant to give up the title and status of this hard-won second-class maid, after all, the real benefits were comparable to that of a young lady from a solid family. She won't be like Haruka and Natsuka, there will be people who don't know how to do it, and both of them have the idea of replacing themselves.
didn't have a bad heart, but showed a helpless look of Dong Xiang, knowing that he was much darker than them, so he had to get by. What she was most afraid of in her heart was not from the challenge of the two of them to her status, but from hearing about the intention of the mansion to send the older maid out of the mansion. She has only turned 20 in a little more than a month, and can she not worry about this the most? (To be continued......)
