Chapter 9: The Farce of Lights

After all, only Jin Xi knows what he has been through.

Everyone came to the lobby of the Su family one after another to say hello to the ancestors: "Say hello to the ancestors!" ”

After some greetings, the ancestor began to speak: "I am looking for everyone to come here today, I hope that our Su family will go to watch the lantern festival together, and I have ordered someone to book the best seat to watch the lights in Jiyanxuan Restaurant." ”

The ancestor took a sip of tea: "I know that there are still a lot of things that have happened in the family recently, but I hope that everyone can ignore the past suspicions, after all, we are a family, and whatever we say is on behalf of the image of our Su family, so I hope that after this flower viewing party, everyone will work hard to do their part and think more about the future of the Su family, instead of having a small belly and chicken intestines." ”

The old ancestor added another fire: "The old man has thanked all the ladies and ladies who are in charge here!" ”

The eldest lady, as the person with the most right to speak under the old lady, of course can't be silent after the old lady says such a thing, the meaning of the old ancestor is also very clear, if she goes against the will of the old ancestor and blocks her way, in the end she will only be unable to eat and walk around.

"The old lady really lifted us up." The eldest lady picked up the teacup and stood up and walked in front of the old lady: "Thanks to the old lady, the Su family can have today, it can be said that all the glory of the Su family was created by the old lady leading us." ”

The eldest lady raised her teacup: "I respect my ancestors for a cup!" I wish the ancestors all the blessings and peace of Jin'an, and longevity than Nanshan! ”

The other ladies and ladies naturally followed the eldest lady to raise their glasses and offer tea to their ancestors. "I wish the ancestors all the blessings and peace of Jin'an, and longevity than Nanshan!"

The old lady smiled and said: "You have this filial piety, I am really grateful, I see that the auspicious time has come, the sun has set, let's go all the way to the banquet to celebrate today's lantern festival!" ”

Everyone lined up behind the old lady, side by side, and marched towards Jiweixuan together.

What is Jiweixuan? If you want to ask no one here, there is no one who doesn't know, whether it is a dignitary or an ordinary person, you can come to Jiweixuan to enjoy food and wine.

Jiweixuan has three floors, the first floor entertains individual guests; the second floor entertains the children of wealthy families and ordinary nobles; The third floor is a place where only the royal relatives and dignitaries can go up to eat, the dishes provided by the restaurant on the third floor are similar, but the selection of materials and prices are different, and many of the delicacies and wines that are very unique to the taste of the Xuan are only enjoyed by the guests on the second and third floors.

But no matter which floor of the restaurant, they are all from the same class of chefs and apprentices, Jiweixuan can be said to have a considerable number of celebrity chefs, and even the dish tasters have been strictly screened; Among them, Zhuang Qingming, the chief selection officer of the dish screener and the special receptionist who is responsible for receiving guests on the third floor, can taste the heat, cooking time and taste defects of the dishes in one bite.

On the night of the lantern festival, Jiweixuan can be said to be overcrowded, especially the first and second floors, which made many people squeeze their scalps. There was also a long queue of guests waiting at the door. This is also thanks to the location of Jiwei Xuan, which is the most densely populated area in the center of Huangchengfang.

There is a lot of traffic here every day, and even the store can be opened until midnight in exceptional cases. It can be said that it is a local city that never sleeps. Jiweixuan, who is in such a position and has hard power, is naturally hard to find.

The old ancestor took a large family, got off the carriage, and came to the door of Jiweixuan, and the shopkeeper said in a smooth tone: "Oops! Isn't this Mrs. Su! I'm going to call the steward to receive you!" ”

The girls of the Su family got off the carriage one after another, they were all dressed up brightly and movingly, and the ladies of the Su family were all beautiful billets who were beautiful and popular among thousands of men as long as they applied a little powder. In addition, almost everyone bought new clothes during the festival, so it looks like a fairy.

So many "fairies" dismounted together, causing pedestrians to exclaim: "Oops! It's simply beautiful, like a fairy in a painting! ”

Another passer-by said: "Oh, just look, talk quietly, beware of people who see you as thieves, and are annoyed by you, and order someone to gouge out your eyes!" ”

Passers-by talked a lot, but the ladies turned a deaf ear, and there were still talking and laughing.

When she got off the carriage, Lin Yu'e said to Jin Xi: "Jin Xi, although the ancestors are kind, you must be careful that other young ladies will stumble on you, if you don't do it, it will become a Hongmen banquet in a while, you must be cautious!" ”

Jin Xi is wearing a lilac shirt and skirt today, with a scarf draped over her shoulders. Wearing jade beads, the earrings are purple pearls, and the blood between the eyebrows is shocking. Her smile seemed to melt the ice of winter: "Mother, I know, I will be careful in a while!" ”

Jin Xi looked at the wrinkles that quietly took root in the corners of her mother's eyes, and unconsciously began to feel sad in her heart, if she hadn't been obsessed with her in her previous life, she was stupid to the extreme, and she wouldn't have let her mother send a white-haired person to a black-haired person, in this life, it would definitely not!

Zhuang Qingming was dressed in a golden silk brocade robe and a jade pendant from his waist to greet the ladies and ladies of the Su family. Zhuang Qingming said to the old ancestor: "Mrs. Su, I'm really sorry, today's Lantern Festival, many people came to Jiweixuan, Zhuang is not talented, not taken care of, failed to greet in time, and I hope that Mrs. Su will bear more." ”

Mrs. Su smiled: "Steward Zhuang, you don't have to be polite, the old body sets up a banquet with you every year, and I am naturally clear about the specific situation." In the future, the wedding banquet of the ladies of my Su family may have to trouble the village manager and the boss to ventilate, and give it a convenience. ”

Steward Zhuang said: "Where is the old lady, if there is a place where I can help, I will naturally not slack off, I will do my best, old lady-please!" ”

With a wave of his hand, Steward Zhuang opened a road in front of everyone, with a red carpet on the ground, leading to the top floor of Jiweixuan.

As soon as the guests in the store saw that it was the Su family who had come to Jiweixuan, they put down their chopsticks one after another, and cast their eyes and envy, and even the little two who served the food were busy suppressing the shouts when they were serving.

Under the guidance of Zhuang Qingming, Mrs. Su led a large family to the top floor.

There are about thirty or forty tables on each floor of Jiweixuan, and the handrails of the stairs are also carved with fine patterns, when you touch the handrails with your hands, you can even smell the natural aroma of wood emitted by your fingertips, and the red velvet carpet on the ground is very comfortable even if you are wearing shoes to step on, and it will not even make a sound.

Su Jinxi held Liu Yu'e's hand tightly, and the palms of both of them seemed to be sweating.
