Chapter Seventy-Five: The Mid-Autumn Festival Family Banquet
It just so happened that this day was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the guys who worked temporarily in the Song Mansion could go home on their own to spend this reunion night as long as they got the approval of the housekeeper in advance.
At this time, the house is full of lights, and all of them are arranging meals for tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival. The subordinates of each courtyard have benefits and reward money distribution, and the so-called people are in good spirits when they are happy, and they are busy with smiles early in the morning.
There is a garden behind the main hall in the house, the ten-mile square pavilion in the garden is a good place to admire the moon, so the moon viewing family banquet is ready to be held here, in the morning, Song Zhixi instructed the housekeeper to hand out the invitation to the prime minister's house of his mother's uncle.
The invitation has never been sealed, and the correspondence between the Song Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion is also the responsibility of the Song Steward. The New Year's holiday is the most frequent time for the Yang and Song families, and in the past few years, Steward Song has also handled it many times, but this time, after he opened the cover, he looked embarrassed, "Girl, after all, it is your own uncle, and it is written like this...... Put the posture of our Song Mansion so low, are you sure? ”
On the invitation was written a line of hairpins with a clear feminine atmosphere: "Prepare a little thin wine, beg for jade toes, drink in the cold house, and don't push back." ”
At a glance, the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion knew that it was from the handwriting of the eldest lady of the Song family.
Song Zhixi raised his hand and patted Steward Song's arm, "Huh~ Uncle Song don't worry, the more you write, the better, my aunt is careful and soft-hearted, I know my situation at a glance, plus Cousin Tang's pouting, no matter what, I will drag my uncle here." ”
"The cousin girl in the Prime Minister's Mansion is active by nature, and the girl has played very well with her since she was a child, and now there are many people in the mansion, which is going to be very lively." Steward Song said.
"Not really." Song Zhixi was very happy as long as he remembered the exact news he had just gotten. This time, I also have my fun-loving cousin Yang Tang as my company, not to mention how interesting it will be tonight.
Doesn't the boudoir woman love this kind of fun, and when she is free, she is no exception.
But it's better to be cautious, An An is just a spectator, if it is broken or messed up, it will be over.
"Girl, the master told you to go to lunch." At this time, Jing Niang came over and did not forget to remind, "The mother and daughter of the Du family have arrived." ”
Song Zhixi pondered and nodded, it seems that this lunch is the first official meeting between her and Su Niangzi's mother and daughter.
At lunchtime, a variety of dishes are already on the table in an orderly manner in the midst of a busy schedule.
Song Yuan sat at the top of the table in the hall, patiently rubbing the antique walnuts in his hands, a team of maidservants stepped forward to put the washing spoon before the meal, Song Yuan poured the water in the basin to clean his hands, took the handkerchief in the handmaiden's hand and wiped the water stains.
Su Ruwen sat naturally and elegantly on the right side of the table, she straightened up, vaguely showing the bearing of the master when she was in Du Mansion, involuntarily attracting attention, looking carefully but humble, people can see that this is a polite and not over-the-top guest, which makes people feel good about it.
Su Ruwen lowered her eyebrows and looked outside a few times, and another maid with a basin interrupted her thoughts, she responded softly, and then cleaned her hands.
Du Nian'er hesitated to go to give her cousin tea first, smiled brightly and was about to pack up her skirt and get up, when she heard a joke outside.
A woman in an orange-and-white monosaric skirt stepped in, and the smiles on the faces of the maids who followed behind her were not gone, and they lined up on both sides of the hall, waiting on the east and west sides of the hall.
Du Nian'er was a little surprised, and said that the eldest lady of the Song family was an arrogant and difficult master, and she had seen it herself, but she didn't expect that in the mansion, she could win the hearts of the people so much, and she must not be underestimated.
Su Ruwen smiled and said nothing.
The girl was stunned when she saw everyone, and then smiled and walked in briskly, "Tell the elders to wait for me, how embarrassing, Daddy, the invitation to the Prime Minister has been submitted, presumably Uncle and Aunt will arrive tonight." ”
The words Xiangfu and uncle have attracted the attention of many people.
Song Yuan nodded, and said to her with a natural and easy-going expression, "Girl, this is your cousin Su, that girl is the same age as you, and you should be cousins, so you should get along well in the future." ”
"This is my cousin's daughter, she looks like a fairy, I like it very much." Su Ruwen looked at Song Yuan and said, "This whole body is more and more similar to my cousin's sister-in-law, which shows that the feng shui of the Song Mansion is really nourishing." ”
Song Zhixi felt that the taste in these words sounded so strange, and said, "Du Niangzi, how can it be good feng shui, it is clear that my father has a good upbringing for me, don't you think?" ”
Song Yuan was a little deserved, and coughed twice, "During the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone gathers together to eat, and a group of harmony is the most appropriate for the occasion, Zhixi?" ”
Jing Niang, who was waiting on the side, shouted for the girl, this is to remind them that the girl should be kind and kind? Master, you are mistaken, the entire family banquet is under the control of the Chu Yu Academy, and each courtyard is subject to the division of labor and dispatch, they are busy in the house, and even the girl is in a hurry to eat because of your orders, how can there be this leisure to find fault, as for those who want to find trouble, you should also keep an eye on that side.
"Cousin!"
Before Song Zhixi could say a good word, her right hand was suddenly clenched, and the warm and delicate touch made her tremble, and when she turned around, she saw Du Nian'er greeting her warmly.
It's called, why are you still holding hands?
Her hands were held so sweaty that such an intimate gesture reminded her of the ear and sideburns between this woman and the new prince He Yun, she hurriedly brushed off the hot soft wattle, and replied with a smile, "Cousin Du, it's really a joy to meet for the first time!" The enthusiasm is not diminished, and it is more than that.
My cousin is called, so she can only pick up the rest of the titles, but she has always been casual, and for her, there is nothing to worry about in terms of age.
Du Nian'er was stunned when she heard this, and laughed in her heart: It turned out that she wanted to pretend that she didn't know each other, okay!
However, in the eyes of the next people, it was Song Zhixi who was a little deflated, no matter how she was a teenage girl, after listening to the rumors in the house, as the eldest lady, she had to be so sensible and tolerant in front of the main owner of the topic, thanks to the girl's good heart.
Jing Niang looked at everything that had just happened, walked up to Song Zhixi and handed over the moon cake menu, "Girl, this is the moon cake style prepared by the house yesterday, and the chef Gui Po asked me to ask you." ”
Song Zhixi took it and glanced at it, and said softly, "I see that there are many types of mooncakes in Rongcheng Building, and there must be some new styles this year, you might as well ask them to go there and take a look, oh, remember to buy more snowy mooncakes, my father has always liked this taste." As for the other common styles, I will make them myself. ”
After Song Zhixi finished explaining, he turned around and asked, "What are the tastes of my cousin and cousin?" ”
After going back and forth, Song Yuan was very satisfied with Song Zhixi, he looked at the faces of the mother and daughter on the table, and asked, "The girl is right, you two don't have to be restrained, you can do whatever you want." ”
"Ah, it's okay, we're all fine, thank you cousin and niece for your kindness......"
"It turns out that the whole Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is my cousin and niece in charge, if you are really a child in the show, it is your cousin who is wrong, so she really underestimated you." Su Ruwen looked at Song Zhixi with disgust, and the doting at a glance not only did not look like a fake, but also made people feel very close and warm.
Song Zhixi didn't intend to refute her face, he looked at it with his eyes and laughed generously, "It's not countable, it's all the subordinates who are busy working, and I'm just passing through it, I'm really ashamed to bear the word hard work." ”
Jing Niang said loudly, "Look, sir, the girls are all blushing." ”
Saying this, everyone present looked at Song Zhixi, Song Zhixi was quite normal, but he blushed in embarrassment when he was stunned.
"It's still Mrs. Su who can speak, the girl is thin-skinned and can't stand such praise."
Thin-skinned? As if he had heard a big joke, Song Yuan chuckled, his voice was very small, but he was still heard by someone with a heart, Su Ruwen thought that Song Yuan had seen through his thoughts, so he chuckled at her.
"Oh, yes." Song Zhixi pretended to be shy, twisted his throat and laughed coquettishly, imagining his appearance at this time, he couldn't help but get goosebumps, and he could only force Su Ruwen to laugh, and his face was blue and white for a while.
For a whole lunch, Song Zhixi silently lowered her head to eat, staring at the thin lines on the stone floor in a daze occasionally, during which Song Yuan served her vegetables several times, and she also relied on his arrogance as if nothing happened, but it didn't mean that there was no barrier in her heart.
She was so enthusiastic as soon as she came in, because she completely suppressed the life with her father in her heart, and as for the reason for her previous marriage, she naturally wanted to find an opportunity to inquire about it.
However, with her father's still doting attitude towards her, she completely relieved her heart.
A table of lunch can be regarded as perfectly used and enjoyable.
