Chapter 121: The Old-fashioned Tale
The two sisters played for a while, and the first project of the lotus party - the dinner began, Jiang Tingliu deeply felt that this kind of wealthy banquet in ancient times was not much different from those modern drinking parties, and it was also to eat and drink and then engage in team building, and by the way, there was also the role of blind date.
She and Jiang Tingmei naturally sat at the same table, and as for Jiang Tingdan, she had already sat down with several young ladies of the family.
Those young ladies were shy, and the golden hairpins on their heads were even given by Jiang Tingdan, which would face the disdainful eyes of the other ladies of the family, but they were also very strong and continued to laugh with Jiang Tingdan.
This banquet naturally has to wait for the main family to appear before it starts, Jiang Tingliu looked at the delicacies in front of her and kept swallowing her saliva, God knows how long she has been hungry.
It was easy to wait until Guo Mingrui's mothers Guo Gu and Guo Mingxia appeared, and then after Guo Gu said a few more words, Jiang Tingliu could finally raise his chopsticks.
She screamed inwardly, and directly took away a piece of meat with a hungry tiger pounce on food.
Jiang Tingmei was taken aback by her speed, and couldn't help but whisper: "Third sister, reserved, reserved." β
Jiang Tingliu swallowed the meat in his mouth in two or two, first breathed a sigh of satisfaction, and then said to Jiang Tingmei: "I can't be reserved, I'm dying of hunger, take a look...... The little meat that was so easy to raise is gone. β
She raised her wrist as she spoke, it was indeed a little too thin, Jiang Tingmei held back a smile: "But third sister, you see that you are eating seriously during the whole banquet." β
Jiang Tingliu lowered his head and rolled his eyes: "That's why they are stupid, why don't they eat when they participate in the banquet?" Is it possible to look at other people's faces to be beautiful? β
She whispered: "I don't like to look at beautiful women, I can still be distracted by a few more handsome guys in front of me." β
Saying that, she ate a big mouthful of meat, her cheeks were stuffed with bulging because of this, Jiang Tingliu was born and good-looking, even so it was very pleasing to the eye, Jiang Tingmei smiled and took a handkerchief for her, and felt that this third sister was really cute sometimes, but she couldn't tell who was the sister and who was the sister, and she always felt that the third sister needed someone to take care of her more than her.
In short, everyone at a banquet noticed Jiang Tingliu, who was eating deliciously, and if there was no one next to her, she would not pay attention to Jiang Tingdan's glare, but because she ate too fragrantly, several young ladies felt hungry, and finally couldn't help but eat a few bites of food.
Of course, their eating movements are pleasing to the eye, and they are not the same as Jiang Tingliu.
A banquet passed in the silence and greed of everyone, and then the highlight of the lotus appreciation party - lotus appreciation.
There is a lake called "Jade Cup" in this courtyard of the Guo family, it is rumored that the ancient immortals drank in the clouds, and accidentally knocked over the jade cup in their hands when they were slightly drunk, and the jade cup fell to the ground and smashed out a big pit, and the immortal brew in the cup flowed into the pit to form this lake.
Therefore, this jade cup lake is also known as the jade liquid lake, and I don't know how credible this legend is, but the whole lotus flower in this lake is indeed extremely beautiful, and even the current saint has said it himself before he ascended the throne, and the Han Lian in this jade cup lake is better than the imperial garden.
The lotus flowers of the jade cup lake of the Guo family became more and more famous, and the Guo family released words to say that such beautiful scenery could not be enjoyed exclusively, so there was a lotus appreciation meeting held every year.
At this time, the Guo family had already prepared several beautiful pleasure boats, and the young ladies did not have to avoid suspicion so much, and the two sides boarded at a pier, and the pleasure boats gradually approached in the lake, and gradually they could see each other's faces.
Jiang Tingliu ate a little, and as soon as he boarded the boat, he lazily occupied a position at the stern, the sun dispelled the coolness brought by the lake, and Jiang Tingliu gradually became a little drowsy.
Suddenly, there was a dispute on the side of the boat on the other side, Jiang Tingliu didn't want to pay attention to it, but who expected to faintly hear Jiang Tingmei's thin voice, Jiang Tingliu had to open his eyes, sighed and walked towards the place where the crowd gathered.
Sure enough, will this lotus reward let them spend so leisurely......
When Jiang Tingliu unceremoniously pushed through the crowd and squeezed into the center of the storm, she first observed Jiang Tingmei and found that Jiang Tingliu was slightly relieved that she was good.
Very good, the fourth sister hasn't suffered yet.
Jiang Tingliu then moved her gaze to the person opposite Jiang Tingmei, and she recognized it after identifying it before she recognized that person was Zheng Jiatian, the sixth eldest lady of the Zheng family.
is also one of the few young ladies who are good friends with Jiang Tingdan.
Jiang Tingliu immediately had a plan in her heart, she didn't believe that Jiang Tingmei had a conflict with Zheng Jiatian It was an accident, she quickly looked for it in the crowd, and it was very strange that she didn't find Jiang Tingdan's figure.
With her understanding of Jiang Tingdan, if she calculated Jiang Tingmei, it would be impossible not to hide from the side and watch the excitement.
But...... She glanced at the pleasure boat next to her son's buddy sitting, although she didn't take a closer look, but Guo Mingrui, as today's master, should not be so inconspicuous, so ...... When did these two leave the crowd?
Jiang Tingliu was a little nervous, after all, she couldn't be completely indifferent to Tan Zhiyuan's threat, but she could only secretly suppress it and solve the matter in front of her first.
It's not a big deal, and the plot is clichΓ© and nothing new, but Jiang Tingmei just picked up the tea, and the cruise boat happened to shake, and then the cup of tea somehow spilled on Zheng Jiatian's body.
Then Zheng Jiatian dutifully played a very aggrieved person, lifting the hem of the skirt, the corners of his eyes were red, and he said straight how expensive his skirt was.
The fact that the Zheng family now has an empty title is well known, so Zheng Jiatian did not hide this, and showed great reluctance to this skirt, but the skirt on her body is indeed worthy of the word "expensive".
Although the style is ordinary or even a little outdated, the material is a real floating brocade, this material can not be wet, even if it is cleaned, it can only be gently wiped with semi-dry satin, which will be drenched by a cup of tea, and the skirt of this floating brocade is completely ruined.
Zheng Jiatian probably really felt sorry for this skirt, and after aggressively accusing Jiang Tingmei, she herself had red eyes, and stood there with low sobs at this time, pitiful and weak.
Although the ladies of the family are not used to Zheng Jiatian and a few people stammering Jiang Tingdan, but this will be unanimous to the outside world, some people accuse Jiang Tingmei, and some people whisper but they can let everyone hear clearly, it is nothing more than to laugh at Jiang Tingmei's background, in the end, she is an uneducated merchant concubine, saying that it is because the cruise ship is shaking and not holding the tea bowl steady, who knows if it is because she is too excited that her hands and feet tremble.
Jiang Tingmei's expression was a little gloomy, no matter how precocious she was, after all, she was here, although she was smart when she was in the Jiang family before, she had many means of self-preservation, and she was so favored by pretending to be an idiot in front of Master Jiang, this kind of scolding and mockery without dirty words Jiang Tingmei really didn't experience much.
So for a while, she didn't know how to refute it.
