"Squeak-" Hua Qinghe looked at it when she heard the voice, and when she saw that it was Luo Qinglian who came in, she hurriedly smiled, "Qinglian, I'm hungry." ”

"Miss is awake." Luo Qinghe said happily, and didn't enter the door, "The slave is going to serve sweet soup, and dinner is about to be served, and the young lady will pad her stomach first." ”

Hua Qinghe nodded, and after Luo Qinglian went out, two little girls about thirteen or fourteen years old came in, wearing the same silver-red jacket, combing double buns, and wearing beaded flowers of different colors on their heads.

The appearance is completely different, the face in front of it is a small melon seed face, although the facial features are not very brilliant alone, but they are very comfortable to look at; The face that is a little behind is a little baby fat, the fat is very cute, the eyes are very pleasing, like a bright starry moon, she looked at Hua Qinghe and smiled, even more pleasing to the people.

"Slave Chunbai, meet Miss."

"Slave Dongyang, meet Miss."

"Get up." Hua Qinghe knows, the melon seed face is Chunbai, the round face is Dongyang, the names are good, this is named after the four seasons?

"Are there people in summer and autumn?" Hua Qinghe asked.

Chunbai once again performed the Ten Thousand Blessing Ceremony, "Miss Hui, yes, there are two first-class maids, one is called Xia Liu, and the other is called Qiu Meng, and please give the name to the young lady." ”

The names of the four people were given by the housekeeper Mama Qi after entering Qingchen Zhai, and now that the young lady is back, of course she listens to the young lady, and whatever the young lady says, it is what it is.

"Well, your names are good, you don't need to change them, just call them like that." Hua Qinghe said with a smile.

"Yes." The two saluted.

"Miss, it's time to get up, the slaves and maids will serve Miss to change her clothes." Chunbai and Dongyang said in unison.

"Oh, good." Hua Qinghe nodded and said yes.

Chunbai went to the wardrobe and took out a goose-yellow long jacket skirt, and a lake-green jacket skirt, "Miss, this is just sent by the sewing room in the house, and the jacket skirt made in the afternoon, which one does Miss like." ”

"Well, let's wear goose yellow." Hua Qinghe took the idea.

Rinse your mouth, wipe your face, dress, comb your hair, in a quarter and a half hours, Hua Qinghe is neatly dressed, it seems that Chunbai is good at combing, the hanging bun on her head is her comb, the technique is very neat, and the comb is also gentle, and the color of the clothes is also lined with the matching head flower, which is a faint pink, and she is a cute little Lori in the mirror.

"Miss, sweet soup is here." Luo Qinglian entered the door with a tray and said happily.

"What sweet soup did you make? Red bean soup? Hua Qinghe wrinkled her nose and sniffed, a sweet fragrance, and she was even more hungry.

"Lotus seed soup with bean paste." Luo Qinglian smiled and put the tray on the round table, opened the lid of the crockpot, picked up the soup spoon and scooped a bowl into the bowl, it was steaming hot, and the sweetness was stronger.

Hua Qinghe couldn't wait to sit down, picked up the spoon and scooped it into his mouth, the bean paste was smooth, the lotus seeds were soft and glutinous, and there were small white balls, and the size of the little thumb was also wrapped in sesame filling, Hua Qinghe ate very hard, "It's delicious." ”

"Miss, you can only eat one bowl if it's delicious." Luo Qinglian reminded.

"yes, I know." Hua Qinghe nodded obediently, "There are still a lot of them in this crockpot, you can share them, it's not delicious when it's cold." ”

"Thank you, miss." Although Chunbai and Dongyang are three years older than Hua Qinghe, they are still little girls, who doesn't like to eat sweet soup, not to mention smelling such a fragrant smell, seeing Hua Qinghe enjoy eating so much, but they still endured it, and waited for Hua Qinghe to finish eating, then served it down, and shared it with a few maids.

"What about you, can you eat it?" Hua Qinghe saw that Luo Qinglian didn't leave, and asked with concern.

"I ate a few pastries, and the grandmother in the small kitchen made some mung bean cakes, and I tasted them and instructed her." Luo Qinglian said proudly.

"Our Qinglian is amazing." Hua Qinghe praised with a smile.

After eating, he stood and eliminated his appetite, and when Wu Qiuwan and the others came, Hua Qinghe didn't feel much full, and he felt that he could still eat two bowls of rice.

The Rosin Garden, where the British Mansion holds family banquets, is the largest in the whole house, and can set five or six large tables.

When Wu Qiuwan and his entourage arrived, the people in the second and third rooms had arrived, and after a while, the British princess Shiji and the Duchess Wan Minhui also came.

Originally, the juniors sat with the juniors, but Hua Qinghe was special, and she was particularly valued when she just returned to the house, sitting directly between Wan Minhui and Wu Qiuwan, and a group of elders and women.

This family banquet, the food tastes good, but the atmosphere is really not warm at all, Hua Qinghe has never been like this from beginning to end, has never eaten a meal without a sound, and no one around makes a sound, even the sound of the spoon touching the porcelain bowl is very rare, and the silence makes people uncomfortable.

And there is a circle of grandmothers and maids standing behind them, holding chopsticks, occasionally stepping forward to prepare dishes for the master, it's really no fun, it's delicious to eat it in a bowl by yourself.

Not only that, but the people at the dinner table are slow to pick up the vegetables, chew slowly, and take very small bites, so can the meal be fragrant.

Although Hua Qinghe doesn't like it, she has to endure it, otherwise she will be a maverick alone, and it will not be good; But fortunately, I also have my own ideas, the meal is bigger, the speed is a little faster and not abrupt, and Wan Minhui and Wu Qiuwan have to pick up vegetables for themselves from time to time, and the plate in front of Hua Qinghe has never been empty, and this meal is still satisfied.

After the meal, a group of people rinsed their mouths, drank tea, and moved to the hall under the service of the maid, Hua Shiji and Wan Minhui sat in the first place, on the left hand side were Hua Kaixun and his wife, on the right hand side was Hua Kaimin and his wife, Hua Kaixing and Shi Xiaolan sat at the end.

Sons, daughters-in-law, and daughters-in-law, all sat behind the lords and ladies of the house, and the servants stood on the side, and the hall was full of people.

In addition to the New Year's greetings, there are few people who are so complete in normal times, and today is also to let Hua Qinghe recognize his relatives, so that the talents in the entire mansion are complete.

There was a futon in front of the first place, and Wu Qiuwan mentioned some greetings and etiquette to Hua Qinghe before, and Hua Qinghe had already kept it in mind.

Slowly stepped forward, knelt on the futon, and kowtowed to Hua Shiji and Wan Minhui, "Grandfather, grandmother." ”

"Ah, yes, yes." Hua Shiji and Wan Minhui were very happy, and Mama Wan stepped forward to help Hua Qinghe get up.

Hua Shiji and Wan Minhui gave a meeting gift, a big red envelope and a covered rosewood box.

Next is Hua Kaixun and Wu Qiuwan, Hua Qinghe also made a big gift, and then also received a big red seal and wooden box.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Qiuwan personally introduced Hua Qinghe, how she introduced, how Hua Qinghe called people, went around in a big circle, knew everything that should be known, and received the gifts softly.
