She didn't want to be associated with the Shen family at all, let alone marry the Shen family as a daughter-in-law, so she was relieved when she heard her mother advocate never mentioning this marriage, how did she know that because during the funeral, Shen Wenxiu saw her appearance and privately told her that the father of the two had actually reached a wish to let him get married.
Chungui made it clear that he did not want to marry far away and separate his mother's flesh and blood, and categorically rejected Shin Wenxiu's show of love.
After that, she had no contact with Shen Wenxiu, and heard that the various situations of the Shen family's family were actually because Sergeant Ruan explained to her in detail those families in Beijing that could not be ignored, so she knew that Shen Shi, the right attendant of the ministry, had a grandson, Shen Wenxiu, who was a high school jinshi in Chunqiu this year.
Sergeant Ruan tried his best to write down the important marriages of the various families in order to familiarize Chungui with the major officials as soon as possible, but Chungui deliberately skipped the Shen family, so he didn't know which woman Shen Wenxiu married as his wife.
I really didn't expect to meet on a narrow road today.
However, of course, Chungui has no hatred for Shen Wenxiu and the Xu family, it is just because of his father's accident that he does not want to have any more contact with them, so he naturally will not sneer at Xu at this time, and politely say: "It turns out that the lady's father Weng is the father of the Shen family." โ
"Gu Niangzi also remembers Ling Zun's friendship with Sheweng?" Xu Shi had a cold face, and his words were a little sharp.
"How can we forget? After all, the things after the death of the father were due to the ministering of Father Shen. Chungui responded lightly.
"I've heard my grandfather mention the accident......"
"I'm sorry." Chun Gui couldn't help but interrupt Xu's words: "My father's unfortunate mourning, I don't want to mention it more, and today is Yao Niangzi's kind banquet, let alone disturb Yao Niangzi's Yaxing because of sadness." โ
Xu's face was even colder, and he held the teacup to block the resentment that could barely be concealed.
Yao's very witty diverged the topic: "I haven't been to Zhangzhou, but my family has a cousin, who married to the Qi family in Zhangzhou. โ
"Speaking of dahlias, it is true that only the Qi family has a dahlia flower garden, which begins to bloom in July and is not defeated until February of the following year, so the Qi family has to hold a dahlia banquet every year."
"Xu Yuan Meilin, Qi Yuan Dali, as well as Sangmen Magnolia, Chen's Chongge, can be described as the four famous flowers in Zhangzhou, but unfortunately although I am famous
I didn't have a chance to appreciate it, but the last time I saw the painting by the lady, I was finally able to make up for the regrets. โ
"Sister Yao is still worried about not having a chance to appreciate it? Although Wenmen's ancestral home is not Fujian, it can now be said to be the most expensive in Fujian, not to mention that not only my sister married a cousin of the Qi family, but also a cousin married to the Chen family, one of the four gates of Zhangzhou? In the future, there will be more opportunities to visit relatives and friends. โ
The two of them said a word, and they were all about Fujian's powerful and noble, and Chungui couldn't interject at all.
She also had no intention of interjecting and talking, she was quietly her own spectator, but after sitting for a long time, she suddenly felt as if she was being spied on, like her face was being stared at by two eyes, and she became more and more uncomfortable.
But looking around, the maidservants either lowered their eyes, or were busy adding tea and serving fruit, and none of them looked directly and obliquely, and as she looked around, the two seemingly prickly gazes did not shift away.
Chun Gui's gaze stayed on the face facing him, that is, behind Xu's back, the partition screen that seemed extremely abrupt in this flower pavilion.
The Flower Pavilion is generally for enjoying the scenery, even if the screen is mostly set up with semi-transparent utensils such as gauze screens or flower stands, but the west side of the Flower Pavilion of the Wen family is made of sandalwood at the bottom, and the upper part is a partition where the horizontal and vertical fences intersect, which is neither transparent nor airy, and looks dull and bulky, about the only benefit...... As long as you are two steps away from the barrier, it is difficult to observe the situation behind the barrier, but if you look close to the subtle hollow of the horizontal grid, you can observe the situation on the other side of the barrier.
In other words, it is extremely good for voyeurism!
But it's just a casual gathering of ordinary officials, what is there worth peeping at?
Chun Gui really couldn't bear this so-called elegant gathering, and interrupted the conversation between Yao and Xu: "Is it to protect against the wind and cold when the lady sets up such a screen in the flower pavilion?" However, although it is rainy today, it does not make people feel cold, and I am really curious to see it. โ
She clearly saw that the corners of Yao's lips twitched again.
Then he felt that Xu seemed to be unbearable, and he glanced at him with disdain.
Directly questioning people's furnishings in front of the main family, of course, this is rude, but since Chun Gui stepped into the Wen family today, she has not received due courtesy, she decided to follow Uncle Zhao's advice, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, and there is no need to swallow her anger.
"I'm really curious about what surprises Yao Niangzi is hiding behind the screen, and I can't help but have a sneak peek." Spring returns to get up.
Of course, he was held down by Yao.
"What's the surprise, it's my flower pavilion away from the pantry
Too far, for convenience, you need to burn the stove nearby to boil hot water to make tea, but today it is raining, the wind is stronger, the stove is placed in the verandah at that end of the charcoal fire is not easy to maintain, so I have to put it in the flower pavilion, in order to prevent it from looking messy, only to use such a side of the partition. โ
Yao's palm pressed extremely hard, and Chun Gui was sure that she was afraid that she would find out by herself.
And with Yao's words, the inexplicable sense of peeping disappeared.
"I see." Chungui smiled and didn't pursue it again.
So they continued to listen to the two women showing off each other's family backgrounds, so that they showed off their humble backgrounds, and there was no fourth person under the horizontal, so they couldn't compete and win, but Chungui was really bored, but fortunately, it was finally time for the feast.
The dishes were prepared very richly, but after a little taste of the spring return, he put down the bowls.
"But the lady thinks the dishes are not appetizing?" As the host, Yao's naturally needs to be concerned, but she quickly asked herself: "My taste is light, not like living in Fenyang, but following the preferences of Fujian people, so the chef invited is also a Fujian person, and he only likes to use shrimp and other seafood in the dishes to enhance the freshness, but I am afraid that the lady is not used to such an original taste." โ
Well, she even sarcastically said that "the boar can't get used to eating fine chaff".
However, Yao's hometown is also Fenyang, so can it really reflect elegance to trample on the local territory of Fujian?
Chun Gui also said lightly: "If you use fresh shrimp and fresh shellfish, the flavor is naturally good, but with pickled shrimp and shellfish to make it fresh, this taste does make me uncomfortable, Yao Niangzi don't blame, my best is to eat in one bite, so I can say whatever I think in my heart, but I am not complaining about Yao Niangzi's negligence, originally eating one thing, that is, it is difficult to adjust, my taste is indeed very different from Yao Niangzi, but it doesn't matter, I can understand Yao Niangzi's hospitality." โ
Yao was choked by these words, and the whole person was stunned.
Xu raised his eyebrows and said: "It seems that the Taishi Mansion is indeed exquisite, if it is an ordinary family, it is not easy to eat fresh shrimp and fresh shellfish." โ
Ironically returning to spring is nothing more than marrying a good portal, otherwise where can you taste Shanghai shrimp and seashells, what qualifications do you have to be proud.
"Only by taking local materials can we preserve the excellent flavor, although the commercial market is prosperous now, and the north and south ingredients are convenient, but it is also a fresh and interesting picture, but Yao Niangzi has been in the north, but she prefers southern food, and it is not easy to meet the taste." The return of spring is also ironic.
The corners of Yao's lips finally rose weakly.
