CHAPTER XXXIII
Looking at these unfamiliar names on the guest list, Qu Muge was a little panicked, she was most afraid of interpersonal relationships.
So he asked Xin's mother: "Which juniors will these three ladies bring with them as guests?" ”
Mother Xin shook her head and said, "This is not accurate, there are many children in large families." ”
All right...... Only soldiers can come to cover the water and earth.
On this day, the guests are scheduled to come to the tea party and dinner in the afternoon.
Qu Muge dressed up early, busily prepared all kinds of snacks, and when the hour was almost over, he greeted the guests in the front hall with Mrs. Gu.
The earliest to come was Mrs. Liang, she was actually older than Mrs. Gu, but Gu Nanye was the peak of Liang Daoding, so Mrs. Liang lowered herself and was very respectful in front of Mrs. Gu.
She led a little boy in his teens and said, "This is my grandson Liang Shuguang, Guang'er, hurry up and say hello to Mrs. Gu." ”
When the boy in his teens was in full spirit, the little son of the Liang family shouted in a loud voice: "Guang'er greets Mrs. ”
Mrs. Gu was very happy, took the goldfish naked son as a greeting gift, and praised: "Look at how strong this kid is, he has the demeanor of Lord Liang." ”
also explained to Qu Muge: "A good student entertains my younger brother." ”
Liang Shuguang was not afraid of life, and enthusiastically followed Qu Muge to the side hall to eat snacks.
After not holding back for a while, he asked, "This sister, is Master Hou at home today?" ”
Qu Muge shook his head and said, "Master Hou went out today, what's wrong?" ”
Liang Shuguang said with some disappointment: "I heard my grandfather and father say that Hou Ye's kung fu is very powerful, and I recently learned a new set of boxing techniques, and I want to show Hou Ye!" ”
It turned out to be Gu Nanye's little fan brother!
Gu Nanye rarely had such a positive side in the eyes of others, so Qu Muge smiled and said, "It's okay, the next time Hou Ye is at home, I will take you to play at home." ”
"Really! Sister is so nice! Liang Shuguang instantly fell in love with this kind and beautiful sister next door.
After a while, Mrs. Xie came with her daughter Xie Zhiyin.
Xie Zhiyin is sixteen years old, slim and graceful, very dignified and beautiful, and her tall but not arrogant temperament makes her feel a little bit of a fireworks.
When Qu Muge went to the main hall to see her, he felt a little close in his heart, and secretly said, "Sure enough, it's her."
There was a frequent visitor to the Taixuan Temple where Ye Taohua lived in his previous life, who was the side concubine Xie of the emperor's eldest son.
Every time Xie came to Taixuanguan to worship the Buddha, he did not take the initiative to get close to Ye Taohua, but just politely said hello and did their own things.
Ye Taohua and Xie are not friends, but when Ye Taohua was in trouble, Xie spoke out.
At this time, Xie Zhiyin was also looking at Ye Taixuan.
Before going out, her mother had carefully told her to be polite to the girl who lived in the Gu family.
Although the mother did not say the identity of the girl, it was very important to think about it.
It's just that she hates acting in front of people and sycophants the most, so she is inevitably a little upset, and secretly decides to stay away from this girl.
Qu Muge intended to get close to Xie Zhiyin, but before he could speak, the Wei family and Mrs. Lin came together.
In addition to the two ladies, the Wei family brought two boys and a girl, and the Lin family brought a son and a daughter, and the living room was instantly crowded.
Several families greeted each other in the living room, and Qu Muge led the little guests to the hairpin pavilion in the backyard, and let the front hall speak to the ladies.
On the way to the hairpin pavilion, Wei Changfeng, the son of the Wei family, swept everyone around, the people of the Lin and Liang families are old acquaintances, he has no interest, Miss Xie is very tall, and she doesn't look at him with her eyes, which makes him very faceless, only this little girl from the Gu family is kind and good-looking, which makes him a little interested.
"Miss Ye, who are you? I haven't heard that the Gu family has a relative surnamed Ye. Wei Changfeng asked.
The rest of the people were also a little curious about Ye Taixuan's identity, and they all looked at her and listened to what she had to say.
Ye Taixuan said: "I am not a relative of the Gu family, the Hou Ye has some friendship with my family, and for some reasons, I temporarily live in the Gu family." ”
This answer was very vague, and Wei Changfeng asked: "I have a relationship with Master Hou, and I guess it is also an unusual family, who is your father?" ”
Ye Taixuan was a little embarrassed, so he had to say: "It's just ordinary people, it's not enough to worry about." ”
Wei Changfeng was a little discouraged, thinking that she was a lady from an official family, and she was an ordinary folk girl for a long time.
The Gu family let such a non-relative person receive them, which was too snubbing them.
Wei Jia's concubine Wei asked Yu for fear of being embarrassed, so he hurriedly said: "Ordinary people can have a relationship with Hou Ye, which is also very unusual. Listening to Miss Ye's accent, is she a native of Jinling? ”
"Well, yes."
After the topic was diverted, no one asked about it.
The two brothers and sisters of the Lin family walked together and talked, Liang Shuguang enthusiastically followed behind Miss Wei, who seemed to be familiar with each other, and Xie Zhiyin walked aside without hurry.
When they arrived at the hairpin pavilion, Qu Muge was brought a sumptuous snack prepared in the morning, and Qu Muge was ready to preside over the tea party.
On the long table, Wei Changfeng, Wei Wenyu, Liang Shuguang, and Lin Youdian, the son of the Lin family, sat on one side. Xie Zhiyin, Miss Wei Xiaomeng, and Miss Lin Youyi sat on the opposite side.
"Today, everyone is visiting Gufu, and Mrs. has specially prepared fashionable snacks and new tea this year, you are welcome, enjoy it."
Liang Shuguang was particularly enthusiastic and said, "Sister Ye, is this the Qiansi cake from Yangzhou Yuxiang Village?" I heard that this pastry can only be eaten fresh, and it will not be crispy when it is left for a while. ”
Qu Muge nodded and said, "It was Madame who asked her to go to Yangzhou overnight to buy it, and it was only delivered this morning." ”
"Wow, great, Madame is so good to us!" Liang Shuguang exclaimed and took the lead in reaching out to take it.
Wei Changfeng smiled sarcastically, some looked down on Liang Shuguang, the family from which the military general was born, even if he didn't know it, a plate of pastries was also worthy of his surprise.
The Wei family is a scholarly family that has been a university scholar, and he can barely look down on Lin Youdian, so he turned his head to talk to Lin Youdian.
Qu Muge saw that the two of them had a small meeting alone, so he didn't bother, but said to a few young ladies: "This is a colorful butterfly cake, the color on it is dyed with flowers, you can taste it, and you can eat the fragrance of flowers." ”
Wei Xiaomeng was not as eye-catching as her brother, and said kindly: "When I heard that the Gu family donated to build Xiaoleiyin Temple, I knew that Mrs. was extraordinary, but I didn't expect the pastries to be prepared so exquisitely. ”
Qu Muge said with a smile: "You are distinguished guests, and Madame is naturally extra attentive. ”
She went to see Xie Zhiyin again and said, "Miss Xie is from the capital, and I don't know if I am used to eating desserts here." I also asked the kitchen to stock some savoury shortbread......"
Before Qu Muge finished speaking, Wei Changfeng interrupted and asked, "Miss Xie is from the capital, she must know that something big has happened in the capital recently, right?" ”
