Chapter 234: Tea Party
On the tenth day of the first month of May, it was Wei Ling's turn to be the east.
After eating breakfast and sending Han Xiao away, Shen Xiu received Wei Ling's post, which was very formal, and the font was even more neat.
"Concubine Wei is so Yaxing." Shen Xiu looked at the post and said with a smile.
Although it is elegant to write a greeting post, it does not cost money.
You don't have to spend money, you can improve your taste and look more classy. In order to save money, Wei Ling also fought hard.
"Thank you Concubine Shen for the compliment." The girl who sent the post said with a smile.
Shen Xiu looked at the handwriting and said, "The words on the post are good, who wrote them?" ”
"It was written by my side concubine." The girl said with a smile, with smugness in her words.
Shen Xiu praised: "Concubine Wei wrote a good hand. ”
Although the Wei family is poor, it is also an official family, and it is always difficult for a daughter to be blind. It's just that the family has no money, so they can't afford to hire a famous teacher, and the teacher just teaches casually.
It is indeed not easy for Wei Ling to practice the font like this.
"My side concubine has nothing to do, so she likes to practice calligraphy." The girl said with a smile.
Shen Xiu put down the sticker and said with a smile: "Tell Concubine Wei that I will be on time." ”
"Yes." The girl responded, bowed and retreated.
When the girl left, Yin'er stepped forward and said, "This girl, just ask a question, she is so proud." It is to show off, and it is also to pick people. ”
Shen Xiu's handwriting, she has seen it.
Although he doesn't write much, he is not inferior to the famous calligraphers in Qingyang City.
If a girl wants to be proud, she should also be in front of the Wu family, who was born in a merchant, is really not very good at literary talent.
"Today, there must be a lot of fun." Shen Xiu said with a smile.
She probably guessed how Wei Ling was going to play today.
In the last game, Wu's sniper, Wei Ling will definitely fight back today.
"Then the side concubine is going to dress up well today?" Linlang hurriedly asked.
Ordinary women are together, even if they don't say it directly, but it is more normal than clothes and jewelry.
This is a secret tear of the private competition, which is different from the open tearing that is directly quarreled, but it is also a tearing method.
"Concubine Wei's taste is good, it's good to be exquisite." Shen Xiu said with a smile.
Although Wei Ling doesn't have much money, and her clothes and jewelry are also made in the official, she can match them. Whether it is color matching, or clothing and jewelry matching, there is a set.
You can't be delicate all over the body, so highlight it a little. On the contrary, it looks better than the rich and loving Wu.
"Yes." Linlang smiled and said, "Then I'll go pick out clothes." ”
The days are leisurely, and now there is such a party, and even the people have something to do.
"Go ahead." Shen Xiu said with a smile.
Yin'er said: "What does the concubine want to eat for lunch, I will go and tell the kitchen to prepare." ”
"It's really a day with nothing to do." Shen Xiu said, but asked Yin'er: "Yu Yongzhao, is there any news coming here?" ”
Because of the matter of Shede Temple, Yu Yongzhao was very knowledgeable and did not dare to enter the house easily.
If there is news, it is also passed to Yin'er, and Yin'er relays it.
Yin'er shook her head and said, "Mr. Yu didn't send the news in. ”
It's been almost half a month, and Yu Yongzhao hasn't delivered the news in.
Either it's a work in progress, or there's no news yet.
"Well, be careful." Shen Xiu said.
The matter of contacting Yu Yongzhao is now basically handed over to Yin'er.
In contrast, Yin'er is more careful and careful, much more stable than Linlang.
"Please rest assured." Yin'er said.
Shen Xiu smiled and nodded, but couldn't help but ponder.
There was Li Yunsheng's matter first, and she had been very worried, just waiting for the alarm of the Yanwang Mansion to be lifted.
I hope Yu Yongzhao is mistaken, otherwise......
Then there is Wei Ling's actions outside, the Wu family forced her like this, Wei Ling will not sit still.
Shen Yue left, she also lost a backer, and she had to be more and more careful.
After lunch, Shen Xiu packed up and changed her clothes. It seems simple but very exquisite, whether it is clothes or jewelry, there is a low-key luxury.
"Yes, good eye." Shen Xiu boasted about Linlang.
In dealing with trivial matters in life, Linlang is really good, and she is also a rare girl.
"Thank you for the compliment." Linlang said with a smile.
Shen Xiu said: "What about Manager Wang, is he here?" ”
"I'm out there." As Yin'er spoke, Shen Xiu was changing clothes, and Manager Wang was inconvenient to come in, so he waited outside.
The group packed up and went out of the house, and the chief steward Wang, who was waiting in the courtyard, hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"I'll take Linlang and Yin'er to Linglong Pavilion, you're so good at home." Shen Xiu instructed Chief Wang.
If it was before, it would be enough to keep the mother-in-law and the little girl. Now that the wind in the house is tight, just in case, it is more appropriate to let Mr. Wang guard the main house.
In case something happens, Mr. Wang will also entertain.
"Yes, please rest assured." Mr. Wang said.
Shen Xiu sat in the soft sedan chair with confidence, and the group went out, two big girls, two mothers-in-law, and four little girls.
All the way to Linglong Pavilion, Shen Xiu got off the sedan chair at the door, and there were two girls waiting at the door.
"Greetings to Concubine Shen." The two girls said in unison.
Shen Xiu looked at the two of them, and said with a smile as he walked inside, "Are they all here?" ”
The clothes are exactly the same, even the body size is a little similar, and the appearance is very handsome.
For today's game, Wei Ling is quite hard.
"The two Aunt Ye have already arrived." The little girl said, leading the way in front, "Today's banquet is in the back garden, please come with me." ”
Linglong Pavilion covers a large area, although there is no retreat to the flower hall behind the main house, there is a small garden.
The garden is not big, but there is a gazebo. The feast is set in a gazebo, which is now in spring and surrounded by flowers.
Shen Xiu's eyes were sharp, and she saw that there were ribbons hanging on the flowers and plants, and it was really as she thought.
Today, Wei Ling is going to fight back.
"I've seen Concubine Shen." Ye Fu and Ye Wei hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
They came over in the morning to help Wei Ling clean up.
At the banquet, the three giants fought each other, and they didn't dare to interject. I was afraid that Wei Ling would scold them, so I came over to help clean up and do the work of the next people.
"The two aunts came early." Shen Xiu said with a smile.
Ye Fu smiled and said, "Our sisters have nothing to do, so they came over earlier." ”
"Why don't you see Concubine Wei?" Shen Xiu asked with a smile.
Before he finished his sentence, he heard Wu Shi say behind him: "Yes, the guests are here, but they don't see the host's house." ”
"I've seen the princess of the county." Shen Xiu bowed her head and saluted, and Ye Fu and Ye Wei also saluted.
Wu Shi smiled with a smile on his face, helped Shen Xiu up, and said, "My sister is too polite." ”
Shen Xiu smiled and said nothing, only to see that Wu was wearing a silk silk button peony pattern Shu cotton clothes, and the lower body was tied with a butterfly and a hundred flowers smoke phoenix tail skirt.
The jewelry on the head is even more gorgeous and abnormal, wearing a color of palace makeup on the right side of the thousand leaves and gold peony jewelry, and on the left is a gold silk inlaid ruby double luan dot cui step shaking.
It can be described as a piece of precious, a piece of gorgeous.
Even Nian Ruolan, who followed behind the Wu family, was full of pearls and emeralds, and she was dressed very exquisitely.
"I've seen Concubine Shen." Nian Ruolan rules to see the courtesy.
Shen Xiu smiled and said, "Aunt Nian, please get up." ”
With Nian Ruolan's monthly money, she will definitely not be able to wear such a good one. It should have been given to her by the Wu family.
Looking at Ye Fu and Ye Wei's dress, they are still wearing the clothes she gave, and there is no jewelry.
Compared with the two boxes, hugging the thighs of the rich boss is really a lot more affordable.
"It's me who is late."
Wei Ling's voice came from the back door, and I saw her and Wei Yu coming in one after the other.
I saw Wei Ling wearing a beige gauze dress, a soft silver light lily skirt, and a white cloud gauze cardigan.
There is a Luanfeng Lingyun bun on his head, and a red gold enamel lilac flower is worn on the left side, but there is a peony flower that has just been picked off on the right, which is very delicate.
In the flower-filled garden, it is a little fresh and refined. On the contrary, the glamorously dressed Wu is too cheesy.
"I've seen Concubine Wei." Nian Ruolan, Ye Fu, and Ye Wei met together.
Wei Yu also followed suit: "I have seen the princess of the county, Concubine Shen." ”
"No courtesy." Wu smiled and said, "They are all sisters, but they can't finish the ritual every day, which is really boring." ”
Wei Ling said with a smile: "Since the princess of the county said so, I will save the number of courtesies, everyone, please come in." ”
Wu smiled on his face, but he was angry in his heart.
Wei Ling still didn't give her a salute.
Shen Xiu didn't see this wave of undercurrent, and followed Wei Ling into the pavilion.
The gazebo is not large, but it is handled very carefully, and all the chairs around it are covered with thick cushions.
The stone table in the middle is also paved with a layer, and the fruit bowl is also delicate and delicious.
"Yo, Concubine Wei can really save trouble." Wu smiled and said, "It's so simple. ”
No matter how elegantly arranged, this banquet was written with the word shabby from beginning to end.
I thought that Wei Ling would have to hold up her clothes even if she was for the sake of face, but she didn't expect that she would really save money.
Failing to let Wei Ling cut the meat made the Wu family a little sad. But with such a good opportunity, she naturally couldn't let Wei Ling go in vain.
"Poof~" Wei Ling laughed, with mockery in her words, "The princess of the county is one of the best maritime merchants in Qingcheng, so she should know something about seafood." The table was unloaded from the ship only yesterday. ”
Shen Xiu looked carefully, the water dish on the fruit plate was quite ordinary, but the fruit plate was different, with an obvious Western-style style.
"Tea." Wei Ling said with a smile.
Four girls stepped forward with tea sets, tea sets and fruit saucers were a set, all of which were Western-style.
The tea set was put down, and the girl poured out the tea, but it was dark black with a strange smell.
"This ......" Shen Xiu immediately recognized it and asked, "Where did Concubine Wei find this kind of bean?" ”
She has seen this kind of tea, Shen Yue's true love. also asked Wu Nian to look for it in the capital, but he didn't expect to see it here in Wei Ling.
"Concubine Shen really knows a lot of light, and she actually knows each other." Wei Ling said with a smile, "I just got off the boat yesterday, and I sent someone to learn even the brewing method." ”
Shen Xiu asked, "Which boat came out?" ”
Foreign goods are only available on large ships that go to the open sea, but there are a few in Qingyang that go to the open sea.
"What a coincidence, it's from HSBC." Wei Ling smiled and said, "As the eldest lady of HSBC Shipping Company, don't you even know your own things?" ”
