Chapter 355: Flower Society
When Ding Min regained his intention to gain a firm foothold in the Yuening Hou Mansion, Ding Rou held a huā banquet in the prefect's yamen, saying that it was a banquet, but it was actually her stepping stone, and met with the officials and ladies of Guangzhou, and the huā hall was rearranged, although it was a guise for the huā meeting, but Ding Rou still went through the relationship and borrowed a few rare bonsai from the boss Xiao who had seen it at the dock, and she ordered someone to go to the string music workshop and find a few music girls who played the piano.
A crystal curtain was hung on the east side of the huā hall, and the musicians were arranged in the back, but Ding Rou did not let them sing, asking them to play soothing music, and the sound of the piano added a unique atmosphere. There are a lot of people in Guangzhou Fanbang, so it is more open than the capital, which gives Ding Rou more room to play, although it is not a complete buffet mode, but the fruits on the table are cut into small pieces, and a 355 Chapter 355 Huahui glass cup contains two-color juice, and the plate of snacks is also very special, and the ladies who arrived couldn't help but feel refreshed.
The girls who followed the service were uniformly dressed in official green armor, wearing skirts, combing double buns in a unified manner, trapping the buns with long beaded braided ropes, and a pair of green moons on their ears, even the silver bracelets on their hands were exactly the same, Xu was too unified, and they were all fourteen or fifteen years old, five or six little girls seemed to be like a person, taking care of the preferences of the guests at any time, and never made a sound when they talked and laughed, but as long as the guests had instructions, they rushed to serve as soon as possible, and Mrs. Xiao, the governor of Liangguang, said with a smile: "You trained them really well, I've been in Guangzhou for five or six years, and I've never seen anything like this. ”
Ding Rou smiled modestly, "Mrs. Xiao has won the award, how convenient and convenient I am." ”
Mrs. Xiao pointed to the chattering lady next to her, and became more and more close to Ding Rou, "Let me tell you, the wife of the Guangzhou General Army... Promise. Mrs. Lee. ”
Ding Rou looked at Mrs. Xiao's hand, among all the ladies, Mrs. Li was not the youngest or the most beautiful, but Ding Rou only needed to look at it to know this Mrs. Li. She is in her thirties, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, and she has a coolness that others don't have. There is another Chapter 355 Flower Society's smart eyes, which makes her whole person more clever.
"Madame Governor."
Mrs. Li got up with a smile, and the dimples on her cheeks were full of bright smiles. Bent his knees: "You just command." ”
Ding Rou saw that Mrs. Xiao had a trace of intimacy with her that was different from that of others. Mrs. Xiao said stiffly: "Amitabha, how dare I have any orders, don't make the red-haired things toss me, just look at Mrs. Ding, and then look at what you drove last time... What..."
"Prom." The person behind Mrs. Li smiled, "But let's have a good time, it's really not used to it." ”
All the ladies who had attended the dance all nodded, and the corners of Ding Rou's mouth were hooked. Mrs. Li is the only daughter of her mother's family, and her father is a well-known shipbuilder in Guangzhou. The people of the same state often corresponded with each other, and it is said that Mrs. Li also went to sea with her father. I've been to Nanyang.
Originally, the merchant girl could not be the wife of the general soldier, but her husband's life was saved by her, when Wang Zongbing first came to Guangzhou was a landlubber, somehow fell into the water, just happened to meet a woman disguised as a man to go out Miss Li, saved the life of the general soldier, and finally achieved a marriage.
Ding Rou has a little more affection for Mrs. Li, since she knows about the ball, it is rumored that she has been to Nanyang Xu is still saying that she has been to Europe.
Mrs. Li smiled wryly: "I originally wanted everyone to see it, and I painted a scoop according to the gourd, which is obviously not as good as Mrs. Ding, and everyone accepted it if I was flexible, so that no one would come to another huā meeting like me, it was really embarrassing." ”
When others saw the smile on Mrs. Xiao's face, they naturally laughed, but the women of this era smiled without missing their teeth, and most of them pursed their lips and smiled.
"Has Mrs. Ding also seen Fanren?" Mrs. Li's eyes were shining, "The capital is different, and I have seen more of the world than me." ”
Ding Rou said with a smile: "Where can you afford to say that, when I first arrived at the dock, I was startled when I met a person with yellow hair and blue eyes, which I would never see in the capital." ”
The ladies who didn't grow up in the capital, the ladies who came to Guangzhou early showed a smile on their faces, no matter whether what Ding Rou said was true or not, if she could say this, at least she wouldn't be arrogant in the capital. Mrs. Xiao's armor turned around and glanced at Mrs. Li, "She, she is our famous shabby family, and she is the most open-mouthed." ”
Mrs. Li also seemed to come to her senses and said apologetically: "I haven't seen the world, but I made Mrs. Ding laugh." ”
"That's what to say, we'll always have to move around in the future, and jokes are far from talking." Ding Rou smiled lightly on her lips, "I like to read books when I have nothing to do in the capital, I often go to the Royal Bookstore, there are a lot of memoirs in it, I mentioned this, in fact, I am a newcomer, thinking of following the customs, and the girls around me are not enough, so I thought of a light way, I have not been married to my husband for a long time, and many things are not familiar, but please ask your ladies for more guidance." ”
"Where, where."
Mrs. Xiao's eyes were bright, Ding Rou, who was steady and generous, advanced and retreated properly, and she could do Huā Hui with ingenuity, and she could also catch the line of Boss Xiao, it was really amazing, her eyes were condensed on the tea huā of the eighteen bachelors, this treasure Boss Xiao is not borrowed by anyone, as a treasure... How many days has Ding been in Guangzhou? The hand she showed today was enough to make her careful.
Mrs. Li said: "I heard that Mrs. Ding just came to Guangzhou and encountered the establishment of the Immortal Bureau? ”
Ding Rou lowered her head slightly, "Fortunately, there is a husband, although I was shocked, but bad people are always bad, I believe that Guangzhou is still a good place." ”
She didn't see grievances, she didn't see panic, she looked for an ordinary appearance, but it was not good for people to extend the metaphor anything, one of the guests frowned slightly, and then picked up the teacup and tasted tea, and Wang's mother, who was arranged by Ding Rou to peep on the side of the huā hall, wrote down that person, remembering that it seemed to be the wife of a tax official in the maritime yamen.
Mrs. Xiao said: "Guangzhou is really a rich place, but the richer the place, the more dirt is hidden, fortunately, I met Lord Yin, who knows right from wrong, otherwise... Gotta force people to die. ”
She changed her voice and said to Ding Rou: "You are also a sensible person, the wicked scoundrel did not cause a tragedy when he found the wrong way, whether he can make Guangzhou clear and educate the people to be good, you have to rely on Lord Yin." ”
Ding Rou stroked his body, rare immodesty, "Xiang Guild does its best, a rich place is much better than a poor country, for a parent official not only to educate the people to be good, hard work to get rich, but also to ensure the prosperity of the place, under the care of the governor, I think Guangzhou will get better and better." ”
"Hard work to get rich, this sentence is very good." Mrs. Xiao attaches enough importance to Ding Rou, but she still feels that she is underestimated, and she is really surprised that the Ding family can raise their concubines so well.
"I heard my grandfather say this, I grew up next to my grandfather and grandmother, and I listened to my grandfather a lot." Ding Rou was busy and modest, and her cheeks were so red that she had a little more shyness.
The wife of the political envoy, who is Yin Chengshan's cousin's aunt, said lovingly: "I heard that Chengshan's biological mother went out with you to recuperate? My cousin-in-law is really virtuous, and I cherish Chengshan to ask her biological mother to be ordained, and now she is ordained, there is no reason not to see one, knowing that you are filial, if she is inconvenient, I will visit her. ”
Seeing the curiosity of the ladies, Ding Rou complained in her heart, recently her aunt avoided her and avoided the beast, Ding Rou didn't know what was wrong, please stay by her side for a while, she would be frightened and panicked, Ding Rou was busy sorting out the information in Guangzhou and arranging people, and she also obeyed her wishes.
"I asked my aunt to come over, Guangzhou is outstanding, the climate is the most suitable for recuperation, my aunt is better than when I was in the capital, my aunt has been serving by my mother's side earlier, I have never seen the world, if I collide with you, I will compensate you first."
Ding Rou didn't expect her aunt to be dignified, she was pressed too badly by the Yang family, she didn't read much, she didn't see much, and more importantly, she lived in a humble world by herself, as if it was right to treat her badly, and people who were good to her would harm her in the future, and her aunt really seemed to be soaked in bitter water, and she was so numb that she couldn't enjoy it.
Don't want to go..."
The aunt who got the news, her body trembled slightly, "If you have four grandmothers, I won't go and make trouble." ”
"It's the fourth grandmother who asked the slave maid to invite you, if you don't go, the slave and maid can't explain to the fourth grandmother."
Yaju came from Ding Rou's side, and she understood that it was impossible for her aunt not to arrive, but she was afraid of the fourth grandmother for her aunt, and even she felt inexplicable, the fourth young master was very filial to her aunt, and Ding Rou couldn't say that she wasn't, Ding Rou once sighed behind her back, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies.
Her face was resentful, and she also knew that she couldn't get on the stage, Ding Rou asked her to go out, and she ordered Mrs. in a room, did she deliberately make her lose face? Isn't it good to bring out Ding Rou's excellence?
There is a calculating daughter-in-law, and she is really scared. Xiaohong said with a smile: "Although my aunt said that her legs hurt a little, but the fourth grandmother asked you to go, you should take a trip, there is something to serve you." ”
She opened her mouth and finally nodded, "Okay, you have to follow me." ”
"Don't worry, the slave is holding you"
Xiaohong put the Eight Treasures Dotted Cuibu on her head, helped pick out a proud dress, and helped her to the huā hall.
"Fourth Grandma Ann." As soon as she entered the door, she saluted Ding Rou in a proper manner, Ding Rou's face turned red, and she hurriedly stood up, "This is not in the house, why hasn't my aunt been used to coming?" You are already the Lady of the Fourth Rank Commandment. ”
Ding Rou personally held her to sit down, and she couldn't care about how the lady next to her looked at it, Ding Rou felt a trace of regret in her heart, she knew that this was the case, wouldn't it be enough to find an excuse, and after thinking about it, she couldn't let her aunt always avoid outsiders.
She smiled humbly at the ladies, "It's that I haven't seen the world, and I don't blame the fourth grandmother." ”!!!
