Remember [62 Chinese Network] in one second, to provide you with wonderful reading.
Within a few days, the Zheng family really replied to the post, and Mrs. Zheng and the young lady of the Zheng family came to Boling in person to attend Mrs. Cui's birthday banquet.
Compared with the Wang family and Zheng Yuan, who got an errand with a clean face, the Xie family and Gu Mingzhu were indeed too busy to touch the ground, this time the birthday banquet opened a hundred tables, and the people who came were all the heads and faces of the ladies and daughters from all over the family, so naturally they couldn't be slacking off, not only could not be negligent at the banquet, but also the invited hundred operas and lectures could not be missed.
The purchase orders from all over the place flew like snowflakes, and the mothers-in-law were also inseparable, rushing back and forth with Jinfeng Courtyard and everywhere, talking back to the eldest lady, Xie Shi, and Gu Mingzhu, and going on errands again, and people coming and going in and out for a while did not stop.
Xie Shi rubbed his sour neck, raised his head and smiled bitterly at Gu Mingzhu: "I didn't know that a birthday banquet would take so much thought. ”
Gu Mingzhu pursed her lips and smiled, and took a bite of the tea soup: "Fortunately, everything has been arranged, and I can finally take a breath." ”
Xie Shi couldn't help blushing when he heard her say this, although it was the two of them who took care of the birthday banquet together, but in fact, most of them were handled by Gu Mingzhu, and Xie Shi was just listening to the excitement on the side, so if you want to say that you are tired, it should be Gu Mingzhu who is working harder.
She said embarrassedly: "This time it's really hard for the fifth brother and sister, and I can't help anything." ”
Gu Mingzhu looked at the sincerity on Xie's face, and shook her head with a smile: "Without a sister-in-law in charge, where can it be done so properly, or I am stained with the light of my sister-in-law." ”
Xie Shi also knew that Gu Mingzhu was comforting her, but she was finally a little more relaxed, and said to Gu Mingzhu with a smile: "After the birthday banquet, you must invite the fifth brother and sister to sit with me, and the tea cakes sent by my mother's family must be tasted with the five brothers and sisters." ”
Gu Mingzhu felt Xie's kindness, so she readily agreed: "I don't know how to taste tea and soup, sister-in-law doesn't dislike it, I will definitely go." ”
As he was talking, another mother-in-law came in with a list and curtsied Xie and Gu Mingzhu.
Gu Mingzhu took the list and glanced at it, but frowned slightly: "Which purchase list is this?" ”
The mother-in-law said: "It was sent by Le'an Yuan." ”
Xie Shi was a little puzzled and asked Gu Mingzhu: "What's wrong?" What's wrong with the list? ”
Gu Mingzhu shook his head, his face was quite flat: "It's just that I saw that all the medicinal materials I bought were some medicinal materials, so I asked." ”
The list is written with medicinal herbs such as tangerine peel, cloves, and baiji, as well as a few musk deer and golden face, which don't look like a prescription.
When the mother-in-law saw Gu Mingzhu asking, she hurriedly replied: "It's the Qin lady, saying that the old lady often can't sleep peacefully at night these days, and wants to help the old lady make benzoin." ”
Gu Mingzhu couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and her gaze became a little colder: "Benzoin? I didn't expect Qin Niang to make incense. ”
Xie Shi on the side said with a smile: "No, the fifth brother and sister just entered the mansion and don't know, Qin Niang has been with the old lady since she was a child, and she has learned some incense medicine techniques from the old lady in the clan, and she can make incense and some superficial medical skills, which is also to take care of the old lady's body." ”
She took out a purse from her waist: "Speaking of which, I still use the incense pills she gave." ”
Gu Mingzhu's eyes flashed slightly, and she said with a smile: "This is rare, sister-in-law let me also see it." ”
Xie Shi took it down and asked the maid to hand it over to Gu Mingzhu, Gu Mingzhu put the purse close to the tip of her nose and sniffed it lightly, a clear fragrance came to her nose, and her mind woke up for a while.
It is a pure heart incense. The fragrance is quite pure.
Gu Mingzhu handed the purse back with a smile, and said with a smile: "It is said that Qin Nianghui has a blue heart, which is really good, and she can also make incense." ”
She also handed the prescription to her mother-in-law: "Leave it to the purchasing office." ”
The mother-in-law agreed and took the prescription.
In the evening, Cui Lin came back for dinner, and Mrs. Cui wanted to discuss the affairs of the clan with the old lady, so she did not leave the husband and wife to eat in her own yard, and Gu Mingzhu and Cui Lin also ate in Yusheng Courtyard with peace of mind.
The freshly sliced cicada's wings, and the thickly boiled almond porridge all seem to be my favorite uses, but did the kitchen happen to be so arranged so well today?
Gu Mingzhu quietly raised his eyes to look at Cui Lin, who was eating almond porridge slowly, and pouted secretly, obviously eating an ordinary bowl of almond porridge, but his every move was still so calm and elegant, which made people fascinated.
Cui Lin didn't look at her, but he seemed to have felt her gaze, and said with a faint smile: "After two days, I will get fresh mandarin fish and let the kitchen make fish soup for you." ”
Gu Mingzhu said in surprise: "This is ......"
Cui Lin's smile was a little smug no matter how he looked at it: "It was sent from Zhuangzi in Shenxian County." ”
It turned out that these meals were all made by him in the kitchen, and they were all arranged according to her preferences, but he didn't tell her a word.
Gu Mingzhu pursed his lips, but the smile in the corner of his eyes couldn't stop flowing, and he looked at him with crooked eyebrows: "Let's make steamed fish, Lang Jun likes to use steamed food." ”
Cui Lin also looked at her with a smile.
“…… At the time of the old lady's birthday banquet, Lang Jun wants to feast guests in the front yard? After finishing the meal, Gu Mingzhu took the tea soup brought by Xiaokui and rinsed his mouth, before casually asking Cui Lin.
Cui Lin sat by the window opposite her: "There are second and third brothers at the banquet, and I want to stay in the study to deal with the affairs of Huaiyang." ”
Gu Mingzhu blinked, tilted his head and wondered, "But there is still a difficulty?" ”
She smiled slyly, "Do you want my help?" ”
A few days ago, she had told Cui Lin that she had a ship and copper and iron ore in her hands, and the Cui family was now choked by the Zheng family on the land route, and it was impossible to transport goods and grain back and forth, but with the help of the ship line, it was different, and the bulk of grain and goods could be sent out of the Zheng family's sphere of influence, so that the immediate need could be solved.
Cui Lin was also taken aback when he heard Gu Mingzhu's words, he didn't expect Gu Mingzhu to have such a few amazing livelihoods, whether it was copper and iron ore or a boat company, which could become the foundation of a big family, Gu Mingzhu was not only the county lord of the imperial seal in the palace, but also had his own fiefdom, and there were so many means, which really made him dare not underestimate it.
It's just that he still rejected Gu Mingzhu, and said with a smile: "The boat line and the copper and iron mine are all your dowries, you keep it well, I have a way to solve it." ”
Looking at his calm appearance, Gu Mingzhu didn't say more, she knew that Cui Lin was a man after all, and he was a bright man, and he would not use her marriage to solve the Cui family's problems, he had his own pride.
What's more, he is Cui Lin, of course he will not be trapped by the Zheng family and helpless.
He must have his own way.
Sure enough, Cui Lin still smiled, reached out and scratched the tip of her upturned nose: "Don't worry, I've arranged everything." ”
Gu Mingzhu blushed and glared at him with disgust, but made him laugh even more happily.
