Chapter 193. practical joke
Bai Jiyuan's gaze was too resentful, Dong Xiaoan was a dumb person who couldn't explain it, and the honest-looking assistant chef quickly explained: "Sixth Young Master, there are guests in the Guiyu Hall today, because the eldest lady is present, the dishes for this banquet have to be made by Chef Dong, but Miss Twelve can't be delayed, so you can take care of it and wait a little longer, or can you eat some pastries, snacks and other cushions first?" ”
"What did you say?"
The assistant chef felt a pang in his heart, isn't this the sixth young master angry because he couldn't eat it in time?
"Sixth Young Master, you forgive your sins, this is ...... Why don't you take a snack first? ”
Bai Jiyuan's eyes turned white: "What I asked is, you just said that there is a banquet in the Guiyu Hall today?" ”
"Yes...... yes......"
After Bai Jiyuan got a positive answer, he stabilized the throbbing thoughts that came out of his heart, and forced a calm and calm appearance to say to Dong Xiaoan: "Since this is the case, then I won't bother you today, but you have to do more for the Guiyu Hall, your craftsmanship is good, if the guests feel good and not enough to eat, then it is not our Bai family who is slacking." ”
Dong Xiaoan looked up in surprise, a little surprised by Bai Jiyuan's "understanding" today.
But seeing Bai Jiyuan's unadulterated expression, Dong Xiaoan nodded solemnly.
"Then the young master is gone, by the way, I want to eat four-color steamed dumplings tomorrow, oh...... I also prepared some pastries, more of them, and I made an appointment with the prince tomorrow, and I don't know what is going on with my brother-in-law, so I love to eat these sweet and greasy snacks, prepare more, and I don't have to look stingy with this young master as an uncle. ”
Dong Xiaoan nodded solemnly again when he heard this.
Bai Jiyuan finally left satisfied, of course, he didn't forget the dim sum, after all, he was really hungry.
…
When Jing Wu followed the eldest lady to Guiyutang, Guiyutang was already very lively.
The maids shuttled through the final finishing touches and arrangements.
Seeing the arrival of the eldest lady, everyone quickly stopped what they were doing and saluted one after another.
Jigu also hurriedly greeted him: "The eldest lady is fine." ”
"Big lady, the guest has already arrived at the front door, and the eighth young master has already gone to the front to greet him."
"Jiyi?"
Jigu nodded awkwardly: "Yes, it's the Eighth Young Master." ”
The couple of the big room want to see the guests, but the nephew of the next room to welcome, if the big room is childless, it is just that, but the big room has a grandson and two sons, obviously there is one more than the second room. As an outsider, Jiya felt embarrassed.
But the eldest lady nodded indifferently, she had long been accustomed to her husband's ignorance of her son, but whenever there was a guest at home, her husband was mostly ashamed to show his sister-in-law, he felt that Bai Jiyuan would make a joke.
On the contrary, he often took Bai Jitong and Bai Jiyi.
Now Bai Jitong has become the son that her husband is ashamed to show, and she can only be happy to see it.
The eldest lady waved her hand and said to the many maids in the hall: "No need to clean, arrange, you can do your own duties." ”
The maids responded "yes" in unison.
The eldest lady gave an order, and the maids who were still shuttling and busy at the last moment, and those who should leave the scene left in an orderly manner the next moment, and those who should stay quickly returned to their places.
Guiyutang suddenly fell silent.
The eldest lady picked a seat and sat down, and a maid immediately served tea and pastries.
Jing Wu also hurriedly followed and stood behind the eldest lady, quietly acting as the eldest lady's personal maid.
The eldest lady looked around and didn't notice anything wrong, but she felt that something was wrong.
Finally, when her eyes fell on Jigu's body, she instantly remembered that she had arrived, but her husband who summoned her to Guiyutang was not there.
The eldest lady then frowned and asked Jigu, "What about the uncle?" Did you go to greet guests too?
"Could it be the Xu family of the Wei family who came?"
The relationship between the Xu family and the Wei family in Qingzhou, the eldest lady naturally knows it.
The person who went to Zhining Yuan to deliver the message from Bingzheng Yuan just said to the eldest lady at that time: There will be people from the Wei family in Qingzhou to visit tomorrow, and the venue of the banquet will be set in the Guiyu Hall, and the eldest lady is invited to go to the Guiyu Hall early tomorrow.
Uncle Bai sent someone to pass on such words, and the eldest lady subconsciously felt that this visitor should be on the same level as their identity and seniority. Otherwise, why should she wait early?
But even that one doesn't need the head of the Bai family to welcome guests.
And Jigu, who was asked by the eldest lady, looked inexplicable at this time: "Back to the eldest lady, it is not the young master of the Xu family who came, but the young master of the Wei family named Wei Lang, it is estimated that it should be the son of the young master of the Xu family, and the uncle should still be in the courtyard at this time." ”
The eldest lady was about to take the teacup when she paused.
Although she is drifting away from her husband, she still understands the other party's temperament, and such a vague message like a prank will definitely not be her husband, the uncle of the Bai family.
The eldest lady's behavior made Jigu feel a little uneasy, and at the same time, Jing Wu behind the eldest lady had also realized that the eldest lady might have made people sick and played.
Seeing that the eldest lady did not speak.
Jing Wu then asked cautiously, "Big lady, do you want to go around first?" ”
The Guiyu Hall and the Guiyu Hall are built next to each other, right in the middle of the garden, close to a large osmanthus forest. At this time of year, it is also a good choice to enjoy osmanthus flowers nearby.
After the initial surprise and anger, the eldest lady laughed instead.
"No, if you come, you will be safe."
Then the eldest lady casually called a maid and said, "Go and inform the uncle, just say that the person has arrived." ”
"Remember, don't say the wrong thing again, I can forgive twice, it doesn't mean I can forgive the third time, hurry up, it's boring when it's late."
The maid looked puzzled, turned her head to look at Jigu, Jigu naturally understood the meaning of the eldest lady's words, but he couldn't go against the eldest lady's meaning at the moment, so he could only nod.
Bingzheng Temple is near Guiyutang, and the distance from Qianmen to Guiyutang is much farther than that.
After the maid left, the eldest lady ate tea quietly, without the slightest hint of shame, and even explained the relationship between the Xu family and the Wei family in Qingzhou to Jing Wu.
After a while, the first to arrive was indeed Uncle Bai.
When Uncle Bai entered Guiyu Hall, his face was happy, but when he saw that only his wife was sitting in the hall, his smile instantly faded.
"What does that mean?"
The eldest lady raised her head and replied with a smile: "I don't know, but since I've arrived, then you should also arrive." ”
Uncle Bai looked at the eldest lady: "Unreasonable." ”
The eldest lady smiled undiminishedly: "Then shall I go back?" ”
The two were arguing, and the laughter of young people gradually came from outside the hall.
Uncle Bai breathed a sigh of relief: "Madam, you shouldn't have time to go back." ”
"Then let's see who is sacred, worthy of Mrs. Ben's wait!"
