Chapter Ninety-Two: A High-Level Dinner
Yan Zhuo pretended to be stunned, "Red coral? Could it be that the person who sold this ear ringer sold you this red jade as a red coral? ”
Seeing her like this, Bai Xinlan touched her ears suspiciously, "It's originally red coral!" What does it mean to treat red jade as red coral? ”
Yan Zhuo sighed, "My sister was really deceived!" ”
Bai Xinlan's face darkened, "What do you know?" ”
A fool who still wants to discuss with her whether red jade or red coral!
Chiyu is just a gadget that ordinary people can afford, how can it compare to the South China Sea red coral she wears!
She likes the bright colors of red coral, looks festive, and takes advantage of her delicate face.
Yan Zhuozhi shook his head, "My sister is really good!" This profiteer from nowhere sold you this cherry-red red jade and red coral, and you spent at least ten taels of silver to buy this pair of earrings, right? ”
Bai Xinlan saw her serious appearance, and she was also slightly weak, but still insisted: "How can Chiyu have such a color? You don't understand it yourself and you want to bluff me! ”
Yan Zhuo smiled slightly, "Sister, I have forgotten that my He family is the one who opened the jade shop." ”
As soon as these words came out, Bai Xinlan couldn't refute them, and looked at her in a daze, "Then why do you say that I am Chiyu?" ”
At this time, some young people and girls of the Bai family came to the hall one after another, and when they saw that they were talking lively, they came over to watch.
Yan Zhuo looked around, walked up to a slender goose-faced girl, and said with a smile: "Can you borrow the skewer on my sister's wrist?" ”
It was a string of red coral beads with aquamarine.
The girl took it off and handed it over, looking at her curiously.
Yan Zhuo took it and brought it to Bai Xinlan.
"Sister Xinlan, take off your earrings and compare them.
"Although the color of cherry red red jade is very similar to that of red coral, you can see that there are fine lines on the surface when you look at the light, and it is not as round and traceless as red coral.
"From the perspective of luster, red jade is more reflective and translucent, red coral is thicker and heavier, and the surface is like wax, so it is also called wax jade.
"The beads of your ear rings are small, so it's not easy to see the difference, but if you compare them with real red coral beads, you can still tell the difference."
She said it well, and the crowd of onlookers next to her was surprised and appreciative and saw the jokes.
The red jade beads are only one or two silver pairs, and the price of red coral can be ten times higher.
There are people who have always been dissatisfied with Bai Xinlan's indulgence, and shouted fun: "Sister Xinlan, take it off and look at it, if it's really red jade, which shop sold you, let's go and smash it!" ”
Some people also said that the wind is cool, "I looked away and bought a defective product, no wonder!" ”
Of course, Bai Xinlan didn't dare to really compare her earrings, and when she was said, she was completely out of character, if it was really not red coral, then she would be embarrassed and thrown home.
Thinking like this, she angrily glared at Bai Zhilan, who had chosen this ear for her, snorted and turned to leave.
As soon as he turned around, he almost hit a man in the chest.
"A good dog doesn't block ......" Bai Xinlan raised her head, was stunned suddenly, and weakly spit out the last word, "...... Road. ”
"Who are you?"
The eyes of the people in the hall also fell.
The person in front of him is not very handsome, with thick eyebrows and deep eyes and a straight nose, and his facial features seem to be carved out of stone, noble and cold, and a little more manly than Bai Yi's handsome and picturesque face.
Bai Yu looked at her coldly, didn't say hello, and spit out two words, "Bai Yu." ”
Bai Xinlan's ears are "buzzing", you heard it right, this person is Bai Yu?
That white-faced Bai Yu with a black face and a scar?
My mother, why does he stare at people so good-looking?
Bai Xinlan was almost fainted by Shuai.
Zhizhi looked at Bai Xinlan's expression and wanted to laugh out loud, "It's Bai Yu who was scolded by you that day, what are you scolding, ugly?" ”
Bai Yu ignored her and followed Bai Yi to the few teenagers who came into the hall to say hello.
Bai Xinlan was pulled aside by Bai Zhilan and was stunned, and her eyes chased Bai Yu.
"Brother Yi also has such a good-looking cousin!" Bai Zhilan also sighed.
Bai Xinlan was infatuated and desperate, "It's a pity that it's a family surnamed Bai again, and it specializes in cheap people with foreign surnames!" ”
She said and remembered Yan Zhuo, and looked at the past with hatred, this person was obviously a thief, and he pretended to be a fool to deceive, Brother Yi was deceived by her, and she couldn't get off the stage several times!
Wait and see!
Yan Zhuo returned the coral bracelet to the goose-faced girl, only to know that her name was Youlan, the youngest lady in the big house, and she was just fifteen this year.
Just chatted with her for a while, a feast spread outside, and then the head of the Bai family, Zhou, came.
Zhou's fat body was dragged into the house by a few maids, and he greeted Bai Yi and a few people with a smile, and said lukewarmly: "The second nephew doesn't often come and go, what he knows is to understand how busy your family affairs are, and it is not easy for your aunt to run such a big house in the countryside, and those who don't know also say that we ignore your mother and son in the countryside." ”
is so gossipy, anyway, the words are rubbing thorns openly and secretly, so that people can listen to how to respond.
Bai Yi wanted to refute several times, but was stopped by Yan Zhuo's eyes.
It is useless to have a verbal dispute with such a person, and the key is to be able to take back her own interests from her.
The people in the hall quietly listened to Zhou's sarcastic words, nothing more than how the Haicheng Bai family developed, how to take care of their orphans and widows, all kinds of.
Zhang stood beside Zhou and smiled smugly, this was her idea, that is, to let the juniors in the clan come to see Zhou's limelight.
Bai Xinlan felt happy at first, but later found that her mother didn't say anything about He Qi Niangzi, and she used Bai Yi as a target horizontally and vertically, which was also a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Zhou saw that Bai Yi and the others were silent, and they were not interested in talking, so they quickly started the feast.
There are two large tables in the flower hall, one table for the gentlemen and one table for the little ladies, because they are all relatives, and they are not separated to avoid taboos.
I didn't expect the dinner to be really sumptuous.
There were several large rows in the courtyard outside the maid who served the food, and there was a feast inside, and the party dragged the dishes inside.
Yan Zhuo looked at it, the first row came up with fresh fruits, the second row of dried fruits, and the third row of golden incense medicines...... I immediately understood that this was a big feast, and the high-end banquets that entertained distinguished guests in the capital were often made, and even the imperial banquet was also treated to this standard.
Zhizhi looked confused on the side, "What do you do with so many fresh fruits and dried fruits, what about the meat?" What about the dish? ”
Bai Xinlan, who was sitting opposite Yanzhuo, smiled and pointed to the oranges on the row on her head, "Second sister-in-law, don't be polite, take it and eat it first." ”
In the hall, the little ladies of the Bai family all looked here with a smile.
Yan Zhuo only smiled, looking at Zhou's casual appearance, watching Bai Xinlan squeeze her eyebrows at her, sitting still, her eyes gradually cold.
