756 And the banquet even gave them worms in the soil
The group of women whispered timidly at the end of the pavilion, thinking that their words did not fall into the ears of the ladies on the other side, but one of the young ladies heard the words of Master Chang, and no longer had the heart to listen to the ladies of the boudoir beside her, and eavesdropped on the words of the group of women next to her.
Cao Qiushan and the others were discussing this banquet, and there was a maidservant who came to serve tea and snacks next to her, and said with a smile: "This time, our adults are going to feast on all young ladies to eat crabs!" ”
"Eating crabs?" Cao Qiushan was sitting in the crowd, surrounded by those young ladies, and when she heard the maid say that she wanted to eat crabs, she showed disgust: "How do you eat crabs?" Can you eat that? ”
Cao Qiushan clearly saw that the maid who said she wanted to eat crabs just now showed a hint of appreciation on her face.
Crabs are not well-known in Dayue, and there are a lot of people who don't even hear the name crab, let alone eating crabs.
"Qiu Shan, what kind of thing is this crab?" The other ladies who had never even heard the name of the crab heard that Cao Qiushan must know about the crab, so they all asked about Cao Qiushan.
Cao Qiushan looked disgusted: "Aren't crabs just insects in the soil?" Where can I eat it? "When I talked about crabs last time, the country girl didn't have a word to refute them, which proves that crabs are worms in the soil.
"But, Chang Adult will never invite us to eat worms in the soil, right? Qiu Shan, could it be that you made a mistake? Xue Ling'er asked suspiciously.
Cao Qiushan saw that her words were questioned, and her face was unhappy: "What, have you seen more or have I seen more?" Crabs are worms in the ground, and I've not only heard of them, but I've seen them! Don't talk nonsense if you don't know it yourself. ”
"That's right, Qiu Shan, she can't be mistaken! But why did Chang let us eat the worms in the soil? There was still a confused voice next to him.
Cao Qiushan said disdainfully: "Although this crab is a worm in the soil, this crab is also a good thing, and so many people have never heard of it, so Master Chang also has the heart to take it out for everyone to see!" ”
"It makes sense, but this worm ......" someone covered his mouth in disgust, "how can this be eaten!" ”
"Then let's stay away from the crabs later!" Someone said disgustingly: "Just thinking about it, I feel so sick that I am afraid that if it is brought to my table, I will vomit." ”
If you really vomit, you will lose face in front of Chang Daren at that time, which is not a trivial matter!
"It's still Qiu Shan who has insight, if Qiu Shan hadn't told us, we'd have vomited on the spot!" Someone said with palpitations.
"What then? What if the crab is brought later? I'm most afraid of bugs, and if I really vomit, how embarrassing it will be! Wang Cuiyun also took his attention back from the conversation on the woman's side, and when she heard that crabs were insects, she was also extremely disgusted.
"If they come up, we don't want it! Not to mention eating it, it's disgusting to watch! Cao Qiushan said: "We don't eat it, when the maids serve the food, see what you don't see, don't let the maids serve!" ”
That's a good idea.
Not only can you not be out of sight, but you will not lose your demeanor at the banquet, and you can also refute the kindness of Lord Chang.
And they said, "If you don't want to eat it, it's not done."
Cao Qiushan's proposal was echoed by many young ladies, and everyone praised Cao Qiushan's wisdom, and the compliments here naturally fell to the woman.
Seeing her daughter surrounded by all the stars, Mrs. Cao was proud.
"Mrs. Cao, you have raised a good daughter, beautiful and talented, the key is that you are still so wise, and your family is in such a situation, in the future, this Cao family's huge family business can only be supported by Miss Cao!" A woman complimented Mrs. Cao, and Mrs. Cao was unusually satisfied.
"It's just a daughter's family, this ancestral family business, only male and not female, Qiu Shan, she is just going to marry out in the future, where can this Cao family's family business get her!"
"Not necessarily! That concubine of your family is a fool, if you give the Cao family's family business to that fool, then the Cao family will only lose? I said, it's better to find a good in-law for Qiu Shan, this business, just leave it to Qiu Shan to be in charge, this is the right family, the man will not covet the Cao family's family business, and he can also take care of the Cao family's family business in an orderly manner, this is the perfect strategy! ”
The woman's words made Mrs. Cao obviously moved.
Yes, instead of losing in the hands of a crazy and stupid concubine, it is better to put it on your own daughter and carry it forward! It can also keep the Cao family's business stable forever.
Why didn't she think about it, when she went back, she must discuss it with her master, all for the sake of the Cao family's family business to be permanent, who is not to give it?
No one saw that the maid who had just come to the tea and said that she wanted to eat crabs handed the things in her hand to another maid on the side, and then looked at the ladies in the pavilion, blinked, and left with a smile.
The guests attending the banquet soon arrived, and Chang Shounong also appeared at the banquet with the Ye family.
At the beginning, when they saw the Ye family next to Chang Shounong, many people were shocked, they didn't know the identity of the Ye family, but when they saw Chang Shounong's courteous appearance to the lady, Ni Liang next to him respectfully called her Mrs. on the side, and those who had never seen the Ye family were all clear.
No wonder Lord Chang asked everyone to bring their daughters to the scene this time, it turned out that Lord Chang's wife was also there, so this banquet was more affectionate and righteous than the previous plucking for nothing!
Everyone thought that this was an opportunity to get closer to Chang Daren, and of course, it was not the men who made contact, but their wives who made their eyes touch.
Chang Shounong is the stone in the pit, smelly and hard, for so many years, no one can take him, this time it is self-evident, they can't take Chang Shounong, but the appearance of the Ye family has given them a glimmer of hope.
Chang Shounong can't take it, but the gentle Mrs. Chang in front of him should be a good master.
So, the banquet hasn't started yet, and everyone is thinking about Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts, from now on, they must let their wife have more contact with Mrs. Chang, and become a close friend with Mrs. Chang, which is almost the same as forming a brother with Mrs. Chang.
Everyone sat down, there were already a lot of melons, fruits, snacks and drinks on the low table, and after they sat down, the hot dishes came up one by one.
Those young ladies all paid attention to Cao Qiushan's movements, they had never seen crabs, but Cao Qiushan had seen them, as long as Cao Qiushan didn't take any dishes, they wouldn't take it.
The thought of a worm in the soil appearing on the table made their faces look sad.
It's disgusting and I want to vomit!
