Chapter 155: Night Visit
Mu Hongsheng's carriage stopped in front of the door of Xie Xiang's mansion, and it was the water chestnut who got out of the car to knock on the door. The people in Xie Xiangfu were also surprised, Mrs. Xie was having dinner, and suddenly heard that Sister Mu's carriage had arrived at the door, it was to "visit", she dropped her chopsticks with a look of surprise.
The Xie family is not like the Mu family, Mrs. Xie is a lady of the family who pays attention to the rules, and several daughters-in-law are waiting by her side during the meal, so when the eldest sister of the Mu family came to visit the patient, Grandma Xie and several of her concubines also looked at each other in surprise.
The daughter-in-law, Grandma Xie, was a little more surprised than her own concubines, she was in charge of the family's affairs, and Sister Mu suddenly came to the door, she was unprepared. Now that the person has arrived at the door, no, even the trivial affairs such as welcoming guests, guiding the way, tea, snacks and so on have not been arranged, and she should take care of them!
If it's an ordinary guest, it's okay, it's Sister Guogongfu! The queen has to carefully entertain the baby bump of the Guogong Mansion, how can it be good if she suffers from dysentery here. Thinking of this, Grandma Xie couldn't help but panic. Grandma Xie was about to say that she would arrange for the guests first, but Mrs. Xie was already busy speaking.
"Hurry in! Liu Ying went in person! Let Sister Mu go to the West Flower Hall and entertain her carefully, not to be inconsiderate. Although Mrs. Xie didn't know why Mu Hongshang suddenly appeared, she had already arrived at the door, so she couldn't turn her out, so she hurried in.
Therefore, she hurriedly ordered the most powerful big girl around her to greet Mu Hongsheng, and hurriedly sent another big girl to send a message to Xie Shurou: "Jin Ying, go and pass a message to the fourth sister in person, and when Sister Mu arrives, let the fourth sister quickly change her clothes and go to the flower hall to entertain guests." By the way, don't forget to say hello to the third sister and let her change her clothes to entertain guests. ”
Liu Ying and Jin Ying hurriedly ran out of the door in agreement, and Mrs. Xie turned around to look at Grandma Xie who was standing beside her holding long chopsticks and was waiting for her to eat.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, what's going on?" Mrs. Xie asked, "Why did Senior Sister Mu arrive suddenly, and I didn't hear you in advance." ”
"Daughter-in-law doesn't know." Grandma Xie had already handed the long chopsticks to the servant woman on the side: "Mother, daughter-in-law go and take a look." The eldest sister of Anguo Mansion is not an outsider, she needs to be carefully entertained, and her daughter-in-law will take care of the tea and snacks herself. ”
"Sister-in-law," Grandma Xie San on the side asked with a puzzled expression, "You really don't know?" Didn't see the post? Didn't you miss it? ”
Grandma Xie is the grandmother in charge, and it is naturally her responsibility to miss the post. Therefore, Grandma Xie San's question was a little unpleasant, but Grandma Xie didn't argue on the spot. People have already arrived at Xie Mansion, and it is important to hurry up to entertain, where is the time for their own family to start talking.
Fortunately, although Mrs. Xie's rules are strict, she is also very reasonable, she glanced at her third daughter-in-law, and said lightly: "Okay!" Besides, you don't look at the hour, it's dinner time, how can ordinary visitors choose this hour? Sister Mu is a girl, she only went out after it was dark, there must be something. ”
"Yes!" Grandma Xie San lowered her head, not daring to continue talking nonsense.
Mrs. Xie didn't bother with her, and directly turned her head and instructed the maid: "Yunying, help me go back to the room to change my clothes." Eldest daughter-in-law, you also go back to change your clothes and prepare for hospitality. No matter why the eldest sister of the Guogong Mansion came, this is the first time we come to the door, we can't be lazy, we must always see each other. ”
"Yes!" Grandma Xie bowed down and nodded when she heard the command, then turned around and walked out.
Mrs. Xie also hurried back to the inner house to change her clothes, and hurriedly instructed as she walked: "Xueying, hurry up and take someone to open the warehouse." Find out my pair of butterfly play flower knots with red treasures and give them to Sister Mu as a greeting gift. It's just right for a girl to wear that kind of Yingluo. ”
Mrs. Xie and Grandma Xie left in a hurry, and the remaining three concubines of the Xie family looked at each other at a table that had just moved a few bites.
"Let's ......" Grandma Xie asked with some hesitation, "Why don't you go back and change your clothes first?" This is not the first time my mother has seen Sister Mu, why did she even deliberately order someone to prepare a meeting gift, should we also prepare. ”
"It's fine." Second Grandma Xie and Third Grandma Xie immediately nodded: "In case Mother has orders, it won't be unprepared." ”
Grandma Xie Wu thought for a while and added: "Mother's Yingluo ring, I remember, my mother took it out a few years ago." Does the second sister-in-law remember? The eldest sister liked it very much before she got married, and asked her mother to ask her several times, but she was not willing to give it. The eldest granddaughter is reluctant to give it, so she will directly take it out as a gift to Sister Mu, we ......"
Of course Grandma Xie remembers it! The eldest sister of the Xie family is her daughter, and of course she knows how much her daughter likes that rare gorgeous ring.
After thinking for a while, she nodded and said, "After all, the eldest sister of the Guogong Mansion is not an outsider, and the queen mother also has to give a meeting gift, so my mother is so solemn." We also prepare some courtesy, always prepared. Also, whatever dim sum you made in your respective kitchens today, you will also choose some exquisite ones and send them to the West Flower Hall. ”
The third and fifth grandmothers both nodded, and everyone hurriedly went back to change their clothes and urge snacks.
At this time, Mu Hongshang has been personally welcomed to the West Flower Hall by Xie Furao's personal big girl Liu Ying, of course Liu Ying does not dare to snub the eldest sister of the Guogong Mansion, the tea and snacks are all in Mrs. Xie's yard, and they are arranged very properly and thoughtfully.
"The eldest sister is here, and our wife is very happy." Xie Fu Rao's handsome maid was naturally very talkative: "Today, Mrs. happened to have fruit cheese in the kitchen, and the eldest sister also tasted it." ”
"I came in a hurry." Mu Hongshang smiled at Liu Ying with crooked eyebrows, and was full of joy: "I didn't make the next post in advance, it's rude." I hope that Mrs. and Sister Xie don't care. ”
"How can you!" Liu Ying smiled very enthusiastically at Mu Hongsheng: "The eldest sister is good friends with the fourth sister of our family, and the fourth sister treats the eldest sister, it is like a sister, where is there any rude between the sisters, the eldest sister will come if she wants to, and our Xie family is looking forward to you coming often." ”
"Sister Liu Ying is polite." Mu Hongshang was a little embarrassed, and her face was slightly red.
Liu Ying pursed her lips and smiled, and personally brought the fruit cheese to Mu Hongsheng: "Eldest sister doesn't have to feel embarrassed. Hearing that you are visiting, our fourth sister Gao Xin is dying. also asked the eldest sister to use a bowl of fruit cheese first, and the fourth sister came out soon. ”
"Thank you, sister." Mu Hongshang smiled politely and well-behaved at Liu Ying, she actually didn't have much appetite, but in order to live up to Liu Ying's kindness, she still picked up the spoon in front of Liu Ying, lowered her head and ate two mouthfuls of fruit cheese seriously.
