Chapter 276: Qiao's Mansion Birthday Banquet (2)
"You-" Ye Rong was speechless for a moment, then she came to her senses, and hurriedly looked up at her aunt over there, but fortunately her aunt didn't look at this side. She breathed a sigh of relief, glared at her fiercely, "poofed", and turned to leave.
Ye Mengmeng looked up at Pearl and said with a smile: "Thank you, Sister Pearl, for helping me get rid of the pesky flies."
Pearl smiled slightly, took a glass of ice juice, and placed it on the table.
"Sister Ye, drink juice."
"Thank you!" Ye Mengmeng took a sip of the juice and praised it, "It tastes good, but there are fewer ice cubes, not cold enough, just put a piece of ice, right?" ”
Pearl said: "Sister Ye, I'm sorry, the ice over there has run out, there is only this one left, the ice in the ice warehouse has not been sent over, please sister, wait for the slave to get some more."
"That's it, forget it if you don't have it, why bother to get it?"
"Yes, sister!" Pearl was secretly surprised. Grandma Sun, this Sister Ye is a fool, doesn't look like it? Mingming's mind is quick, and his answers are like streams, where do you look like a fool?
And Ye Rong walked to her mother angrily.
Mrs. Qiao noticed that something was wrong with her daughter, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Rong'er?"
"Mother, Ye Meng's slut is also here."
"What?" Mrs. Qiao didn't believe it at all, "Impossible, how could she come here?" "As soon as she entered the house, she asked people to lock that stupid woman in the backyard, how could she come to the hall?
"Mother, you still don't believe it? See for yourself. ”
Mrs. Qiao looked at her daughter's hand, and her eyes widened in disbelief. What's going on? She rubbed her eyes to make sure she was not mistaken, that girl was Ye Meng.
Mrs. Joe was a little confused. The first thought she thought was, could it be that this girl came to the banquet hall by herself? After all, with so many guests, it was entirely possible for her to sneak in.
However, when she saw who the girl who was serving Ye Meng behind her, she knew that she had guessed wrong. She knew that girl, who was a first-class maid in Zhou's house, named Pearl.
She couldn't sit still, could it be that Zhou ordered to bring that girl to the banquet hall? However, how did Zhou know that the girl was in the backyard? Also, what's even more weird is that the girl is the person she brought, and Zhou asked her to come to the banquet without knowing her?
Originally, her heart was messed up enough, Ye Rong was still complaining beside her: "Mother, I didn't want to bring that slut to the capital a long time ago, you didn't listen, now it's okay, that slut is dressed up to be more beautiful than me, what if my aunt falls in love with her?"
"Shut up!" Mrs. Qiao's face sank, and she couldn't help but scold her daughter. "There is no shadow at all, what are you messing up with? Your aunt just invited her to a banquet out of politeness, what can you know? ”
Ye Rong didn't dare to say any more, and muttered, "...... Anyway, anyway, the more my daughter looks at that slut, the more she looks like a vixen. Mother, didn't you see her look like she dressed up, she was born with a hooking look, and she didn't hook the male soul? ”
"How dare you?" Mrs. Qiao was so angry, "Look at you, what ugly words are in your mouth, are these words a girl who has not been out of the cabinet?" I'm so! ”
Ye Rong saw that her mother was really angry, and she didn't dare to do anything.
Mrs. Qiao calmed down, her face returned to normal slightly, and she pulled her daughter over and persuaded in a low voice: "Rong'er, my mother told you a long time ago that it is important to do your own thing, and don't mess around with that slut." Obedient, after the luncheon, there will be a flower-viewing poetry party in the garden, and the guests will go there to play, and your eldest cousin will also accompany the guests. You yourself have to be good at seizing opportunities, and don't give them to others easily, you know? ”
Thinking that she would be able to see her eldest cousin soon, Ye Rong's face was just fine, and she nodded and said, "Mother, I know."
"Alright, go back and sit down, it's about to start."
Ye Rong settled down and returned to her seat.
The seating layout is also very particular. The seats of the lady and sister are separated. Originally, according to the rules, Ye Mengmeng and Ye Rong were sisters and should sit at the same table, but Ye Mengmeng and Ye Rong didn't like each other, and no one wanted to be next to anyone, so Ye Mengmeng went to find an empty place to sit down. Fortunately, there is nothing in pearls.
There were five or six girls sitting at the table where Ye Mengmeng was sitting, and the strange thing was that their clothes were all the same.
Ye Mengmeng didn't care, nodded and smiled with the girls present, and then pulled out the stool and sat down.
The girls at the table looked at each other and frowned. Obviously, these girls don't like to be disturbed by outsiders.
However, fortunately, there was nothing left, only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young woman in brocade clothes on the opposite side had been secretly looking at Ye Mengmeng with her eyes.
Ye Mengmeng felt the other party's prying eyes, looked up at the girl, and smiled politely. But I was thinking, who is this woman? It's a little familiar, but for a while I don't think I've seen it somewhere.
After the banquet began, all the guests sat down and ate quietly.
After the banquet, Zhou said with a smile: "After the luncheon, I also invite the ladies and sisters to go to the back garden to enjoy the flowers."
One of the noblewomen laughed and said, "If the garden is crowded, we won't go, right?" Let the girls play on their own. ”
Zhou smiled: "That's okay, Mrs. Lu, wait for their young people to play, let's go to the warm pavilion to play dominoes, how about it?"
"Okay!"
So, the ladies divided into two groups, the young ladies went to the garden with a smile, and the ladies went to the warm pavilion.
Ye Mengmeng has no interest in visiting the garden, and the main thing is that she is afraid of meeting acquaintances. But if you go back to the yard where you live, I'm afraid that the two girls next to me won't agree.
After thinking about it, she turned her head and asked Pearl, "Is there anything else to do in the mansion?"
"There are a lot of fun places, sister can go to the garden first, the garden of our Guogong Mansion is famous in the whole capital."
"Really? What's the name? ”
"Sister, the garden in our house is also spacious in the capital family, and more importantly, there are many flowers and trees in the garden, and there are many varieties of flowers, which are not available in our Southern Chu, or brought back from the Northern Desert by our family."
Ye Mengmeng nodded and said with a smile: "Your family still raises flowers?"
"Of course," Pearl said with a proud face, "Sister doesn't know, our family has a lot of things." Geography is known, geography is known, what is that, social and humanities. He is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he is even better at planting flowers and medicine, not only that, but he will also ......"
"You can cook, don't you?" Ye Mengmeng blurted out.
Pearl stared at her eyes in surprise, "Hey, Sister Ye, you even know this?" ”
Chunxi also looked at her sister in surprise.
Ye Mengmeng smiled. "Guess, what, I'm guessing right, right?"
