Chapter 117: The Storm at the Banquet
It was the Guogong Mansion at night, and the lights were bright. Mother-in-law, maids, housekeepers, and servants come and go, weaving like a shuttle.
One dish after another is delivered, the color and taste are exquisite, and the fragrance is overflowing. Although it is not a delicacy, it is also pleasing to the eye.
In the hall, in front of the mahogany dining table, everyone was already seated.
There are not many people in the Wei family, in addition to Mrs. Wei, Wei Zhun also has two side rooms.
Both side rooms gave birth to daughters, but no sons, so their status in the house was not high.
As for Wei Lingjun and Wei Lingfeng's mother, they did not appear.
Therefore, except for Guogong Wei Zhun and Mrs. Wei, Li Xiao, and Wei Lingjue's brothers, there was no one sitting at the main table.
Two side rooms with a few children and a few cousins sat at a small table on the side.
"It's all home-cooked food, don't dislike it!" Mrs. Wei sat on Li Xiao's side, her graceful posture and generous conversation all reflected the demeanor of everyone's housewife. "Still, then, the Guogong Mansion is not as good as the Prince's Mansion, if you make the county lord wronged, please forgive the county lord!"
Li Xiao smiled and said vaguely: "No!" ”
Whether she won't be unforgiving, or she won't be wronged, I'm afraid only she knows the meaning of this!
The reason why Li Xiao answered like this was just to see Mrs. Wei's reaction.
Her enthusiasm and amiability, how could Li Xiao not see the traces of camouflage.
It's just that Mrs. Wei didn't seem to care, and still warmly picked up a chopstick dish and put it in the bowl in front of her. "The county lord tastes it, this is an authentic Yucheng dish, see if it can be appetizing!"
"Thank you, ma'am!"
The words between the two are polite, but they do not lose their lives, showing a beautiful picture of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in front of everyone.
The people next to him didn't seem to care about the interaction between Li Xiao and Mrs. Wei, and they were all eating quietly.
Wei Lingjun sat opposite Wei Lingjun, so as soon as he raised his head, he could see his gaze drifting towards Li Xiao from time to time.
"The county lord tastes this dish! It's different from the chefs in our house! Wei Lingjue picked up a piece of fish meat and put it directly into Li Xiao's bowl.
This action attracted the attention of many bystanders.
He neither used chopsticks, nor did he pick it up from the plate, but directly gave the dishes in his bowl to Li Xiao. This ambiguity made the maids and mothers-in-law who were aware of it on the side secretly snicker.
Wei Lingjun, who was sitting opposite, saw this and grabbed the silver chopsticks in his hand hard, lowered his eyes, and hid all his thoughts.
And Wei Lingfeng, who was beside him, had a smile on his face even stronger.
A family banquet, peaceful on the surface, and turbulent inside, only they know.
In the second half of dinner, the maids and daughters were busy again.
After a while, the soup was served.
Each soup is different, and it is all made by the chef according to the results observed during the meal.
They watched secretly how happy each dish was, and how different flavors they cooked.
The soup in front of Li Xiao, with a faint milky aroma, is made of milk and fresh vegetables, light but delicious.
The lid of the soup cup, before it was lifted, gave off a sweet smell. caused Li Xiao to frown slightly.
She does have a sweet tooth, but it's a different story if it's so rich!
"What's wrong? Dislike! Wei Lingjue, who was on the side, noticed her strangeness, so he approached her and asked.
Before Li Xiao could answer, he heard a small and crisp voice of inquiry coming from behind him.
