9. Hospitality

Listening to the newcomer in the water pavilion, the old lady and the old lady gave a big gift as soon as the front foot arrived, and the old lady and the old lady both gave a big gift, so other people had to go to the door even if they saw the face of the second elder.

Like whether you are adaptable to it for the first time, go out for a walk and so on, in short, it is used to show your feelings.

Because of the relationship between the many little sisters in the house, it is naturally divided into many small groups, among which the concubines are even more determined, and there is also intimacy between each room, which is very complicated.

But on the first day, it will always be the daughter of the long house, and no one can snatch it.

Qin Huan has two sons and five daughters, the eldest daughter and the two concubines have been out of the cabinet, leaving only the youngest daughter Qin Peiting and the concubine Qin Peiyun.

At this time, the two girls' families are discussing what gift to give to their cousin, although they gave Xiupa before, but it was on the surface, and now it is the first time to walk around the daughter's house in private, so naturally it can't be so casual.

After all, although he has the name of his aunt and nephew, it doesn't seem that the age difference is big, so he pays attention to what he sends.

"I said it so pitifully before, I thought it was a poor girl, but today I looked at the pomp~" Qin Peiting shook the fan in her hand, and thought of the chic fan: "My grandmother is still very favored, and I don't know how many things I have sent into the Tingshui Pavilion these days." What else are we going to give? If you want to send some pastries, didn't you also invite a Western cook when you went to the cherry blossom viewing party? Those things don't taste good. ”

Qin Peiyun covered the fan and smiled: "Her things are just fresh, I heard that Westerners wear wool on their bodies, who of us want to wear it like this, we can't blow it out, that smell~"

Qin Peiting was amused: "Didn't she give us wool socks?" Then who dares to wear it. ”

"I don't wear it anyway."

As the two were talking, the maidservant who had already had a good spirit asked her to bring a few food boxes over: "It's made by the dim sum master from Jingshi, eleven dishes." ”

"Very good, that's it." Qin Peiting stood up: "Then let's go, count the time, even if it's an afternoon nap, it's almost time to get up, we have just the right time, and it won't be said that we don't understand the rules." ”

Qin Peiyun stepped forward and held her: "I'm afraid that he doesn't understand the rules and hasn't gotten up yet." ”

……

Listening to the quiet in the water pavilion, but Qin Xiang didn't take a nap, she was still sitting at the dining table.

The meal had been eaten for an hour and twenty-five minutes, and she had only eaten five minutes full, poking at the cut fruit while reading the notebook seriously.

Lilith knew something was wrong, but the new owner was too strong for her to care.

Mama Ma also knows that something is wrong, but the eldest lady hurts her brain~ The old lady just wants people to be safe and stable, don't care about those rules, right?

So as soon as the two sides let go, they naturally ate later. Until someone came to the big house, he was still poking and poking with a fork.

Mama Ma, who came to talk to someone, was very embarrassed, according to normal speaking, this would make her serve Qin Xiang to change her clothes before inviting someone in......

But now, the other party is still eating!!

She could only ask tentatively: "Is it ~ withdraw first?" ”

"No, I haven't eaten yet." Qin Xiang's gaze was still fixed on the script: "This is where I live, just order it casually." ”

After thinking about it, he said, "Otherwise, invite them to the water pavilion outside." ”

Mama Ma breathed a sigh of relief, and asked the maid to lead the people.

It's also better in the waterside than in front of a table with half-eaten food.

Serve tea and pastries!

However, this time Mama Ma did not fight with Lilith, she knew Qin Xiang's identity, and she had just returned to the house, and in the face of other people in the house, it was more appropriate to use more Western gadgets.

Qin Xiang finally put down the script, cleaned her hands and rinsed her mouth, and then put on the silk factory gloves presented by Lilith.

It's also a little funny in my heart, and it's not easy for Lilith to find a pair of gloves that match her current outfit. I just looked at the other party and presented some jewelry inlaid with light-colored gemstones, and I was helpless: "This is not necessary, right?" ”

Lilith insisted this time: "But it's to see another lady." ”

Okay~ Qin Xiang chose a set of pearls, the chain is short, the earrings are also very simple, and then there are bracelets and rings, and there is no other jewelry.

Lilith gave another shawl of tulle, which was a sigh of relief, barely workable, right? "Shoe ......"

"I won't change my shoes!" Qin Xiang shouted and ran away, the truth in the world - loving beauty is one thing! It's another thing to not like to wear underwear at home.

Lilith hadn't handed her the hat in her hand yet: her hair hadn't been combed yet......

"Master!"

Qin Xiang didn't want to see a guest in the place where he lived, and he had to get a serious one!! Wearing gloves is enough not to pinch.

But Lilith caught up with her! resolutely stuffed a fan in her hand! You can do without anything! A fan must be worn!

God knows how difficult it was for her to find such a "plain" light-colored fan!!

Qin Xiang was helpless, but he could already see the figure on the other side of the pavilion, so he could only slow down, open the fan and sway past.

"Aunt Cousin~" The two daughters of the long room got up and gave a salute in a standard manner.

Qin Xiang......

Qin Xiang subconsciously wanted to have one, but looking at her skirt and thinking that it was difficult to do it, she simply squatted down slightly with her skirt. Anyway, these girls can't understand it~

As for those maids, they are all outside, and they don't understand the language, so they don't worry about it at all.

She looked at the top of the heads of the two girls: "Pei Ting, Qin Pei ~ sit." ”

Finally discovered the benefits of this, for the huge number of uncountable people in the family, the name of the province is recorded.

The two girls were stunned, the previous meeting at Cishoutang was actually just a quick one, but this person actually remembered their names and could still face the master?

It shouldn't be possible, probably just remember the big house first, right? It's not difficult~

Thinking so, the two girls sat down one after the other.

At this time, the servants also brought refreshments, Qin Xiang opened the pocket watch and looked at it, at 3:15 in the afternoon, it was the time for afternoon tea~ Okay, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that she only ate half of her lunch, and she just caught up.

The refreshments are very particular, and the host's first hospitality, the maids are naturally 10,000 percent attentive.

First of all, there is a delicate tea set, a low-profile open bone china cup is placed on the cup and saucer, two slices of lemon are stacked obliquely on the side of the cup and saucer, the sugar pot and milk cup are also carefully placed, and the maid stepped forward to brew it for a few people.

Qin Xiang didn't know why she thought of the scene in "Uncle Zombie"~

In fact, before the crossing, she went out to have afternoon tea with her little sister, and she didn't pay attention to casual eating. But now it's different, just returned home, you must take the lead in all aspects, otherwise the girls can torture you to death in the future~ The stories of house fights are all written like this.

There's always nothing wrong with taking precautions, right?

Sure enough, the two young ladies were a little overwhelmed and didn't cover the bowl!!

Qin Peiting turned her head sideways, and the maidservants immediately took out the pastries in the food box and placed them one by one: "My cousin is from the West, and I probably haven't eaten these, so I specially brought you to taste it, and it was made by the master master from Jingshi." ”

Eleven plates of pastries are lined up at once, and the plates are indeed pleasing to the eye, and the plates are exquisite.

Qin Xiang tilted her head, is there a dim sum war? Then you are destined to win, after all, people want to try new things. No matter how magical the pastries of the Beijing master are, are they more attractive than the various small snacks of later generations?

However, she would not lose the face of the little girl, and thanked her politely.

At this time, the Western-style three-layer dim sum plate also came up, and the metal carving process and mixed and matched plates were quite shocking for the girls, after all, the style was completely different. Xiyue is not without Western-style teahouses, the Qin family is in business, and naturally hopes that the children will see the world more, so they have also been there, but compared with the ones in front of them, they are not on the same level at all.

"Do you like sweets?"

Qin Peiting nodded, but Qin Peiyun said that he could only eat a little. Qin Xiang added milk to one tea and lemon to the other, and then he took a sip~

Hmm~ I want to drink bubble tea!
