Chapter 187: Birthday Banquet

The Sun family and the Ma family are also very well-behaved, they don't take Qiao in front of Shen Yu at all, and only bury their heads in work.

Naturally, relatives of the family can't be called as servants, and calling over to help at this time can not only get a reward, but also show that the Sheng family does not forget its roots, and does not forget to bring the clansmen when it is developed. is to go out in the future and say, can be appreciated by the Sheng family's young grandmother to help at the birthday banquet, and there is light on his face.

The two women went in and out, taking the work assigned by Shen Yu as their own business, and doing things very properly.

The old lady's birthday banquet is held every year, and a few years ago, these two people were also called over to help. Shen Yu can get a lot of useful advice from them.

Except for those places where there is room to make new ideas, they need to come according to the previous rules, so Shen Yu asked the two of them.

In a blink of an eye, on the day of the birthday banquet, the Sheng family set up a red wedding shed outside the door early in the morning, with red lanterns hanging on the door, and even the stone lion at the door looked much more majestic than usual.

When the guests come to the banquet, they will put the gifts in the wedding booth before entering the door, register them, and then be led inside by the people.

The male and female guests sat separately, Sheng Yanqing greeted the guests at the front door, and when they arrived at the second door, Shen Yu led the female guests to the flower hall.

In the kitchen, the stove has not stopped since last night, and people go back and forth, setting up food, serving tea and water, everything is in order.

Shen Yu handed over the kitchen to Sun to watch, and Ma was responsible for receiving the guests, seeing who needed what, and hurriedly ordered someone to deliver it.

A stage was set up in the back garden, and all the famous actors invited were Tongcheng, and they were already babbling and singing at this time.

The old lady wore a crimson skirt today, and the smile on her face has not broken since the morning.

At noon, when the guests were almost there, Shen Yu asked the old lady for instructions, "Grandmother, the kitchen is ready, do you want to have a banquet?" ”

The old lady sat on the Taishi chair and nodded lightly, nodded with a smile and said, "Everyone should be seated." ”

After toasting the male guests in the courtyard and saying a few words, the old lady took Tao's mother's hand and went to the flower hall, where the ladies were commenting on the food on the table.

At this banquet, the Sheng family can be said to have taken the limelight. The banquet has been placed from the front yard to the flower hall, the seats are full, the troupe invites famous actors, not to mention, and the Westerners' movies are also moved.

The dishes are also full of variety, and the guests are amazed to be able to bring so many famous dishes to the table.

After the banquet, a lady wearing a ginger cheongsam toasted the old lady, "I wish the old lady happiness as the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan." Today's birthday banquet really opened our eyes. ”

This lady is dressed plainly, but she has an outstanding temperament, and her gestures are all with the luxury of everyone's ladies.

Someone chimed in: "I've never seen this table before, put the dishes on the upper floor, put the dishes and chopsticks below, and turn around whatever you want to eat, so that the dishes on the table can be tasted fresh." ”

"When I came in, I saw the maid carrying a cake, isn't that what a Westerner would do? Every time I go back to the provincial capital, I can only eat, and today I have to feast on it. ”

The guests were full of praise for the meal, and the old lady also smiled and said a few words to the guests from time to time.

The second lady was forcibly sent to the village village, and such a scene was naturally indispensable to the eldest lady. She sat next to the old lady, listening to the guests' praise of Shen Yu, and the old man with a sloppy face.

This banquet is held every year, and she was in charge of it in the past, and I didn't see everyone's interest so high. Shen Yu was praised for the first time, and her heart was sour.

Everyone was talking about the dishes, but the eldest lady said coldly: "Today's birthday banquet is pompous, and behind this is a lot of silver." ”

The originally lively dinner table fell silent in an instant, and the guests didn't know how to answer.

The smile on the old lady's face disappeared without a trace, and she glared at the eldest lady coldly.

Shen Yu was making vegetables in the old lady's hand, and she was stunned when she heard the words of this terrible scenery.

Her mind turned sharply, smiled gently, and said: "It is difficult to buy the word happy, as long as my grandmother is happy, it is our duty to let us juniors go to the sky to pick the stars and catch the moon." ”

The old lady's expression softened slightly, and she said, "You have a heart." ”

Everyone knows that the birthday banquet costs money, and the eldest lady is extravagant and wasteful when she says it, but Shen Yu's mouth has become a piece of filial piety from the junior.

The juniors spent this money willingly, and the old lady was naturally comfortable.

Shen Yu resolved the embarrassment with a word, and the dinner table became lively again.

The guests all quietly looked at this young grandmother who had never met before, and everyone knew that she was newly married and had a dead husband, and she was widowed at a young age, and she was living a hard life with a step-by-child.

I thought she was a person of few words, but when I saw it today, I realized that the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Sheng family had the demeanor of an old lady back then, and she was a smart person.

After eating, the ladies had their own activities, some went to the backyard stage to watch the play, and some gathered around the old lady to talk with them.

The old lady was in a good mood today, she entered the warm pavilion, served tea, and said to Mrs. Wu: "Why don't you bring Xinping today?" It's been a few days, Xinping should have grown into a big girl a long time ago, right? ”

Mrs. Wu called Wu Xinping, who was shrunk behind the crowd, to the old lady and said, "Come and say hello to the old lady." ”

Wu Xinping blessed her body, and said sweetly: "Xinping gives the old lady a birthday greeting, and wishes the old lady good health and a long life." ”

The old lady looked Wu Xinping up and down, took her hand and said, "Sure enough, it's the eldest girl, come, sit next to me." ”

Shen Yu hurriedly gave up her seat to Wu Xinping, "Grandmother, I'll go look elsewhere, you guys talk first." ”

Wu Xinping looked at the direction Shen Yu left thoughtfully.

After knowing that the Wu family and the Sheng family might be married, the family also secretly investigated the affairs of the Sheng family's house. After all, in the mansion, there is a lot of selfishness, and her mother is reluctant to let her marry into a messy place.

So, I really found out something. That Shen Yu, and her brother Yanqing, there are some inexplicable things.

If she wants to marry Sheng Yanqing, she will never allow anyone to stop her!

The room full of people are the daughters of famous and wealthy businessmen in Qingshui Town, but Shen Yu rarely goes out, and she rarely interacts with people in the Shen family, and few people she knows.

When she went out, Sun said to her: "Grandma, Mrs. Wu's family was in the pen and paper business just now, the Wu family is amazing, and the ancestor has also come out to explore the flowers!" That Miss Wu is also full of poetry and books, and at first glance, she has ink in her stomach. ”

Sun is in her thirties and has attended many old lady's birthday banquets, and many of them are familiar to her.

Shen Yu is also willing to listen to her talk about some things in Qingshui Town, and now that the eldest lady is the shopkeeper, she will have to do these favors in the future.

After the gossip about the Wu family, Sun said again: "I think the old lady is very interested in this Miss Wu, and Bacheng is choosing the future second young grandmother." The second master has also reached the age of marriage, and the old lady remembers it in her heart. Didn't you look at the women's table today, but all the girls of the right age in the family are dressed up and brought out? The old lady is paying attention. ”

"The second master wants to get married?" Shen Yu repeated these two words, she stood in place in a daze, her heart like falling into an ice cellar.
