Wen Ying pretended to be angry and said, "Gu Xier! ”

Gu Xier replied: "Here!" ”

The servant came over and suggested that it was time for lunch.

For the aristocracy, food and drink were not only used for subsistence, but also had a social and cultural function, a confirmation of an act of power, a "tool to show their power". The act at the dinner table thus became a cultural symbol of the aristocratic hierarchy.

The Locke family has been around for hundreds of years and has perfectly inherited the culture of European aristocracy.

Wen Ying asked Gu Xier: "Will the meal last about 2 hours?" ”

Gu Xier replied: "On important festivals, it will be like this, because most of the people are there. ”

Wen Ying was relieved, not today.

Although it is common for domestic servants to drink from earthenware utensils, the masters are sure to bring out the high-quality bone china cutlery that is placed upstairs.

Seasonal dishes appear on the table, all of which are Chinese.

Oh, I forgot, he ordered in the morning, prepare Chinese food.

Gu Huaiqian came down from the study on the third floor.

"How's it going?"

Wen Ying replied: "Well, I'm very happy. ”

Gu Huaiqian: "That's good." ”

The second lady had been waiting in the hall since breakfast.

Silently, although there was a smile on his face all the time.

But Wen Ying wondered if she had done something wrong.

But Wen Ying felt that her demeanor and speech were elegant, and it didn't seem to be anything.

Wen Ying sat down in the breakfast position.

At the beginning of the Chinese meal, the first wet towel sent by the servant, Wen Ying knew that it was to wipe his hands, not his face.

Gu Tingcheng told Wen Ying: "Don't praise the food, because the dishes are made by the cook, not the hostess; Don't praise the hostess's dress, because it is generally assumed that the hostess is well-dressed and furnished, and if she does not seem to adapt to a good indoor environment, it is tantamount to self-defeating. Never talk about money, work at the dinner table. That's reserved for tea time. ”

Wen Ying summed up the results, when eating, don't speak. Don't pick a topic.

Although Gu Huaiqian is not very serious, and even a little kind, after all, he is Gu Xier's father and the current head of the Locke family.

When the fruit is served, a small water meng with twisted lemon slices floating in it is not a drink, but for washing hands. (1 per person)

When the child was about to step forward, he was pulled by the second wife.

Wen Ying thought, why didn't he wash his hands?

Oh~~~

I see.

I remember when I was a child, a relative's child drank this water as a drink during a meal.

Want to make a fool of me?

When Wen Ying washes his hands, he takes turns wetting his fingers, gently washing them, and then drying them with a small towel.

Wen Ying's eating appearance is also very similar to Gu Qingcheng,

She thought to herself: Chinese food! It's hard for me!

Blind your dog eyes, let you see what everyone is beautiful.

After she took the seat, she did not immediately start to take food.

When Gu Huaiqian greeted him and raised his glass to start, Wen Ying started, and she would not rush ahead of Gu Huaiqian.

Originally, I was supposed to wait for the dish to turn in front of me before moving my chopsticks, but today I sat at an oval table.

She doesn't pick up too much vegetables every time, chews and swallows slowly, never stuffs large pieces into her mouth, gobbles them up, is not picky eaters, doesn't just stare at her favorite Rai to eat, or hurriedly piles her favorite dishes on her plate.

The abalone siu mai is also mixed with shiitake mushrooms, chicken and shrimp to enhance the freshness, and the hard vegetables are fried with scallops! Wen Ying took a bite and felt very Q-bomb, and the scallops were also handled very solidly.

It does not make unnecessary sounds, such as "gurgling" when drinking soup and "horning" in the mouth when eating, which are all vulgar expressions.

Next, there is a dessert, a pastry or something, Wen Ying cut half of it, and the fragrance of osmanthus and brown sugar came to his face in an instant.

Gu Xier thought to herself: Haha, it must be very difficult to see her eating.

Gu Xier gave the vegetables to Wen Ying.

And Gu Huaiqian saw it in his eyes, it seemed that Gu Qingcheng taught her very well.

Gu Huaiqian asked: "Is it unappetizing to eat so little?" ”

Wen Ying replied: "No, it's good." ”

The second wife said softly: "Are you tired of eating Chinese food, and you changed it at night, okay, master?" ”

Gu Huaiqian was wiping his mouth with a towel: "Well, it's okay." ”

Wen Ying began to pay attention to the second wife this time.

Sure enough, women understand women.

Lunch is followed by afternoon tea.

Gu Xier asked Wen Ying if she was going out for a stroll or riding a horse at home?

Wen Ying said: Let's go out for a walk.

They passed by an afternoon tea shop - R,

Wen Ying said: "It looks very stylish. ”

Gu Xier: "........."

Wen Ying: "I want to go in and sit down." ”

Gu Xier: "Okay." ”

From chandelier curtains to bone china tea sets, everything is classical and luxurious to the extreme, and the atmosphere is extremely classical and noble. The glittering and flamboyant R has a strict dress code, where men must wear a full suit and tie, and women must wear a skirt or a dress with high heels.

It's a pity that Wen Ying is not wearing a skirt.

But when the shopkeeper asked the other party's identity again, he still let Wen Ying in.

Although the dining environment is very noble and exquisite, it will inevitably be a little noisy when the venue is full, and with the live music, there is less of the dullness of the English tea party, but more of the enthusiasm of Dolce Vita.

Gu Xier asked Wen Ying: "It's good to drink afternoon tea at home." ”

Wen Ying: "Oh, I just want to see the world. ”

Gu Xier: "The one at home should be better than here." ”

Wen Ying: "Oh. ”

Gu Xier was a little annoyed by the noise here.

Wen Ying whispered softly: "Let's walk down the street." ”

Gu Xier: "It's hard to come in, don't you want to have a drink?" ”

Wen Ying: "......... Let's go home and drink it again. ”

Gu Xier stood up.

"Is there anything you'd like to buy?"

Wen Ying: "What should I buy?" ”

Gu Xier: "We don't seem to have a couple table yet. ”

Wen Ying: "Ang~~ Hmm! ”

Still bought Patek Philippe's watch.

Wen Ying sat in Gu Xier's car, the life of a rich man was really boring, looking at the scenery aimlessly.

"Last night I had a dream that I drove into the river."

Gu Xier: "Are you scared?" ”

Wen Ying said, "Sort of. ”

Gu Xier: "What kind of car are you driving?" ”

Wen Ying tried to recall: "SUV, what is it...... It seems to be X6. ”

Gu Xier: "Do you want it?" ”

Wen Ying: "You want my dreams to come true!" ”

Gu Xier: "I don't want you to drive into the river." ”

When she got home, the second wife had already made an appointment with a group of rich ladies in the garden at home.

"Xier, you go and talk to the master, and give me your fiancée."

Gu Xier looked at Wen Ying as if asking,

The second wife said, "What, don't worry? Miss Wen is so cute, I won't eat her. ”

When Wen Ying drinks tea, pour tea first, then pour milk, stirring milk,

Instead of clutching the teacup ring, she should pinch her index finger and thumb inside the cup ring and drag the bottom of the cup ring with her middle finger.

The second wife said in fluent English: "Miss Wen, the posture is very standard." (English: Miss Wen, the posture is very standard.) ）

Their tables were too low, and Wen Ying was waist-high with a saucer.

She said, "Thank you."
