No matter how she didn't care, the old lady walked away without cooperating, and called Lin Sanye away, and if she didn't let it go back for a long time, the atmosphere of the family banquet was a little unbearable.

So, not long after the dishes were served, several elders toasted each other for a few glasses, and after the juniors stood up and saluted for a round, the main table dispersed - Uncle Lin and Second Master Lin went to the study together, and Mrs. Lin and Xiao Li also walked out of the flower hall.

In this way, the two aunts were embarrassed to do it anymore and dispersed.

The rest of the juniors, after Aunt Xin took the youngest Lin Jiaxiang away, Lin Jiakang beckoned someone to come up and re-clean the table and divide it into two tables for men and women, and added some new dishes, but it was lively again.

There are a lot of new things in the capital, even if Lin Shijia and other women rarely go out, there will never be a shortage of topics in front of Lin Huijia and these "soil buns" who have just returned to Beijing. And Guangzhou is a magical place, plus Lin Huijia and they have seen and heard along the way, whatever they say casually makes Lin Shijia and the girls feel surprised.

Between girls, they get acquainted with each other quickly.

It didn't take long for them to lose the feeling of strangeness and politeness before, and they would soon be able to let go.

Lin Songjia wrapped her arms around Lin Shijia: "Second sister, why are you reluctant to take out your plum blossom wine?" It's a big day for the big sisters to come home today! Second sister ......"

Lin Songjia's coquettish skills are not inferior to Lin Yijia at all, she hugged Lin Shijia's arm and rubbed and shook, and soon Lin Shijia had no choice. It's just that...... Drink? Lin Shijia was still a little hesitant.

Lin Minjia was interested when she heard it.

She looked at Lin Shijia curiously, lowered her voice, and asked a little nervously, "Is it really plum blossom wine?" ”

Lin Shijia nodded, a little puzzled.

Lin Minjia realized that she was making a fuss, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and explained: "Didn't we always grow up in the local area...... I used to meet a noblewoman from an official family who had just been transferred from the capital, and I heard her boast that many of the nobles in the capital like to make their own wine, what peach blossom wine, lotus wine, chrysanthemum wine, plum blossom wine, I didn't believe it at that time. There are few people in our girl's family who like to drink. ”

Yes, if she says that she has nothing to do, embroidery, reading, cooking, tea, practicing calligraphy, doing rouge and the like, she can understand it. But the girl's family rarely has the opportunity to drink, and even fewer like to drink, why do they go to wine? Is it really because I'm too idle?

She got the answer to this question after only a month of living in the capital.

Having said that, Lin Shijia heard Lin Minjia's explanation and said, "That's not the case. The plum blossom wine we made has an extremely light flavor and floral aroma, and the taste is still very good. ”

Lin Singjia also nodded and said, "It's really delicious." However, my mother and aunt easily forbade us to drink it, and only let us taste a little on the big days. Second sister, today is a big day, you see that the third sister has never tasted our own wine......"

"Mm-hmm, I want to taste it." Lin Minjia was even more interested.

Lin Shijia glanced at Lin Huijia, and saw that she was just smiling and had no objection, so she beckoned and asked April to pick it up: "Be careful, don't let Mother Li know." ”

April is a very calm big girl, she nodded, did not speak, and left lightly.

Here, Lin Huijia's eldest maid Momei got her meaning, and also took action, called several other people's personal maids, first found eight landscape screens to separate them from several young masters, and then whispered a few words to them, and separated-

Mo Mei and Lin Yinjia's eldest girl, Qingtao, stood guard at the door of the flower hall. Lan Ling and the colorful clouds beside Lin Songjia stood by the screen without a trace, leaving Honglu waiting on the edge of the table.

After a while, April stepped into a fruit basket.

The fruit basket is covered with a square green silk cloth. Pulling off the silk cloth, below are dozens of neatly stacked red and plump pomegranates. After the pomegranates were taken out one by one and put into the fruit bowl, the layer of cyan cotton cloth under them was removed, and finally a few small urns were seen.

The small urn is very small, with a capacity of no more than half a catty.

April carefully opened one, put it on the end of his nose and sniffed it lightly, before holding it up and pouring it for a few young ladies.

A small urn with a small cup.

The white jade wine cup is just enough for a small sip.

The plum blossom wine is clear and translucent, with a little plum blossom floating on it, and the dark fragrance between the ripples is lightly...... Before it even enters the lips, it already feels extremely elegant.

Lin Yijia took a small sip gently. It tasted so good that I drank it all.

Although the taste of wine is light, it is not nothing. A red cloud soon appeared on her face. Above his cheeks, there seemed to be a flame burning. Eagerly, authentically and beautifully.

After asking for another cup with April, Lin Yijia lowered her head this time and ate very slowly.

Hey. Why are your eyes a little blurry?

Oh, I guess I'm drunk...... It's so bad...... Lin Yijia's consciousness quickly became dull. When she raised her eyes and saw Lin Huijia who was close at hand, she said innocently: "Eldest sister, eldest sister, am I a little six...... I'm twelve...... Boom......"

"Look at this girl's drunk, she doesn't even know who she is?" Lin Minjia said disgustedly: "It's so useless. It's a shame for me Lin Minjia. But there was a grin on his face.

Lin Shijia blamed herself a little: "Is the sixth sister okay?" It's all my ......."

"It's just two sips of wine, what can you get drunk. She's inevitable for the first time, and it has nothing to do with you. Someone brought a soft couch over, Lin Huijia helped her to lie down, and after feeding her a little warm water, she covered her with a thin quilt.

The weather was not cold in the first place. And there are a few pots of charcoal in the flower hall, and she is not afraid of freezing her.

The main thing is that Xiaoliu is drunk, and they will definitely be scolded, but their little wine has not been drunk for a round, isn't it very cost-effective to be scolded like this? Since it is destined to be scolded, it must be worth it......

This is Lin Minjia's point of view.

And her views have been warmly pursued by Lin Songjia. Of course, what plays a decisive role is the eldest sister Lin Huijia's non-objection. She remembers that her mother had just said to them when she had just left: "Today is a rare opportunity, have fun......

She was smart and knew what her mother meant. And she also knew that the life of the nobles in the capital was by no means similar to that of Canton Mansion, where they could go out and play at will, ride horses on the vast beach, watch the boats full of all kinds of goods coming and going, and talk to the scary-looking Westerners...... Well, all of them can speak a little bit of simple Western......

And the ladies of the capital are beautiful...... As the name suggests, under normal circumstances, you can only stay in the back house. Even if you can occasionally go out to incense or go shopping, most of them sit in a carriage and wear a hat when they get off, as if they can't see people...... In addition, whether you are sitting or walking, you must follow the rules and regulations at a glance......

It is not easy to play with my sisters today and want to do it again in the future.

"Hey, big sister, will the eldest aunt take us out in the future?" Lin Singjia's little face was also a little red, but her eyes were brighter. She said wistfully, "I've grown so old that I haven't been to a banquet yet." ”

"What, doesn't the second aunt take you out? Probably not, right? As soon as Lin Minjia relaxed, she didn't cover her mouth a little, so she got a gloomy white eye from Lin Huijia.

Lin Shijia didn't care, shook her head and said: "Uncle and aunt are not in Beijing, and it is difficult for our family to receive posts from decent people." The others are the families of several relatives, and they are also rare to have a banquet. Not to mention the two younger sisters, even me, it is difficult to go out...... Her mother is not in good health; Grandmother loves quiet ......"

Just like Lin Minjia mentioned before, when Lin Shiqing and his wife are not at home, the Lin family seems to be left with an empty shell, which will be ignored and excluded. In this way, where does Lin Shijia and the others have any chance to go out?

Lin Yijia thought in a daze: It seems that the second sister is also sixteen years old, and there is no shadow of the family...... Thinking of his previous life in a trance, in his previous life, Xiao Li's impatience led to the words of the second aunt of the Li family and married the second sister to the maiden family of the second aunt of the Li family......
