Chapter 25: Raising the Teacher and Asking for Guilt (II)
The porter got the news that he would take the people to the main hall and entertain them well; Hurriedly greeted the maid who came to the front yard to wait, and led the guests to the front yard. It's still very confusing to send people away, this used to be sent to the backyard flower hall to meet guests, how can the eldest lady lead people to the main hall to meet guests. It seems that this is a Hongmen banquet, but it's a pity that I can't see a good show. The eldest lady of his own family still knows that he is extremely powerful, and he can build Yuhua Pavilion at such a young age. The eldest lady is also very kind, and the sister is still the cousin, and they are all treated equally, which is what everyone's miss looks like.
Thinking about his daughter-in-law, I don't know if there is a chance to send it to serve the eldest lady in the future, learn a few points, and you will definitely be able to worry about it for a lifetime.
The Duchess also felt strange, it was said that she wanted to see the housewife in the backyard, what was she doing in the front yard, could it be that this Lin Mansion was so unruly. But at this point, stopping and asking questions seemed to be lost; I could only quietly follow the little maid to the front yard.
Mei'er also had a hint of uneasiness following behind, but don't make any trouble, if something happens; The lady is the master, and at most she is reprimanded and grounded; I'm just dead... Thinking of this, my legs also softened a little; I still regret it, how can I serve such a master.
If the Duchess of the Kingdom knew that what Mei'er thought at this time would definitely be angry; This is unreasonable, and it should have been the personal maid who asked the porter; This little maid was not only derelict in her duties, but also accused her master in her heart afterwards. If something really goes wrong, disposing of this little maid will not be wronged.
Coming to the main hall of the Lin Mansion, the main hall of the Lin Mansion is relatively simple, it is really the leader of the Qing and noble people, although the family has money, but it is not too extravagant; The courtiers also avoid misunderstandings. But in the eyes of the Duchess of the Kingdom, this is poor and sour, and the face of the head of the family does not even have two things on the table; The furniture in the house is a water of wenge, and even a red sandalwood mahogany is not used in the front hall, and I don't know what the backyard looks like in a dilapidated state.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, and he looked at the tea brought by the maid with some disdain, the front hall was so simple, what tea could there be to entertain guests. But I still habitually picked up the tea bowl, and as soon as I lifted the tea lid, the fragrance overflowed. Looking at the color of the tea leaves, this is this year's Longjing new tea, this hospitality tea is okay, but it is far worse than the honey tea when you entertain guests.
After trying the tea temperature, the tea entered the mouth, and the tea soup swirled in the mouth; Suddenly the mouth and nose are fragrant; The sweet and mellow taste is the foundation of this tea maker. I just wanted to taste one or two more, and at this moment, Moon Shadow also arrived in the main hall.
looked at the Duchess of Dingguo, smiled modestly, and then bowed in a proper manner, and said, "I don't know what the Duchess of Guoguo is here today, what is the so-called matter?" “
Although I was looking for the eldest girl of the Lin family, I still felt very unhappy when I was received by a little girl, and her words were even more thorny: "Is it possible that there is no one in this Lin Mansion?" I actually want you to come out as a little girl, or do you Lin Mansion not take the Guogong Mansion in your eyes? “
"Madame, if you are there, it is really a sudden visit of the Duchess today, the grandmother and mother of the family are out, only the shadow is there, before the shadow and grandmother, the mother learned to take care of the house, and knew that if there was no urgent matter, she would not go directly to the door without handing over the prayer post; Madame must have come today to have 100,000 urgent matters, and Ying Er did not dare to delay, so she came out to receive you, and I hope you will not be surprised. “
Although the Duchess was still smiling, her eyes were like shooting knives.
"So, or is it not mine?" While speaking, he took another sip of tea, rolled his eyes to the top beam, put down the tea bowl, and looked like he was smiling but not smiling, it was really a little scary, if Moon Shadow was really her current age, she would definitely be held by her, but unfortunately, the battle between the concubines in this harem was not comparable to a duchess of the country, and this white eye roll was too undignified, the real smiling tiger, which one is not smiling, and sent you away cordially.
Moon Shadow smiled even more and said, "Naturally, there is no one's fault, Madam can come, the Lin Mansion is honored." ”
The Duchess wanted to wait for Moon Shadow to ask her intentions, but this little girl didn't leave her hands, and she didn't reveal a word outside her words, so it seemed that she could only start by herself.
"Hmph~ I won't go around the bend with you, how did your secret ointment of Yuhua Pavilion come about, don't say you don't know."
"Of course I know, madam, but I don't know what madam's means?"
As soon as she heard that Moon Shadow was pretending to be stupid, the Duchess of Guo's fire was ignited. With her eyes narrowed, she looked at the little girl in front of her, and it seemed that she wanted to die and didn't admit it, so she had to scare her.
"Don't think everyone is stupid, didn't you steal this recipe, my mother-in-law's old slave, Mama Lu's recipe?"
At the mention of Mama, Moon Shadow's face also sank a little, and asked the Duchess of Guo, "Since Madame said so, I really don't know, it turned out to be the old Mama's recipe." ”
"You and Mama Lu, every time you learn to make paste in the shop of my Dingguo Mansion, do you think we don't know?"
"So it's true, this recipe is indeed Mama Lu's, then my Yuhua Pavilion won't use this recipe again in the future."
"Really?" Hearing Moon Shadow say this, it stands to reason that the Duchess of Guo should be happy, but she frowned unconsciously, and she always felt that it was not a good thing, so happy.
"Naturally, it's true, and I have to make a note with my wife to confirm it. Lan'er went to get the pen and paper ready. “
The Duchess felt that it was wrong, but she really couldn't find anything wrong for a while. It's just that this promise is too painful. At this moment, news came from the concierge, saying that the old lady of Dingguo was feeling unwell and asked the duchess to return to the house quickly. When the Duchess heard this, she felt that she would do it immediately, and it would change later.
If you go back to the mansion and don't let yourself come again, it will be troublesome, urging Moon Shadow to write down a note.
Both sides signed, left double copies of the note and handprints, asked Mei'er to put it away, and hurriedly returned to the Guogong Mansion.
Moon Shadow glanced at the note and instructed Lan'er, "Express the delivery of An Fold, to the concubine Niangniang." ”
