Chapter 331: Guests and Hosts Have Fun
"I was thinking just now, such a beautiful and meticulous person, which family's daughter is it, it turns out to be Cui'er's sister's cousin niece!" Mrs. Hu saw Hui Ya bowing in front of her, although she didn't look very old, her slender figure was as tall and full of vitality as spring shoots, which made people like it at first sight.
"Come on, come on, see how smart this kid looks!" Mrs. Hu pulled Hui Ya to her side, took a bracelet off her arm, and put it on Hui Ya's hand, "I think this child likes it very much, this bracelet is a meeting gift for Hui Ya, and I will go to our house more often in the future." ”
"This ......" Huiya saw the bright red gold bracelet on her wrist, and she didn't know what to do, so she looked at Cui'er as if asking for help.
"The elder can't give it, you can accept what Aunt Feng gives you with peace of mind!" If Sister Fengmei is unwilling to give a meeting gift in this kind of scene, no one will say anything. Now that it is difficult to refuse if she gives it, Cui'er simply let Huiya accept it, and when she goes back to Hu's mansion, she will give Mrs. Hu's children a thicker meeting gift.
"Thank you, Aunt Feng!" Huiya bowed her knees and thanked her, a slight flush appeared on her palm-sized face, obviously a little embarrassed to accept the gift.
"We're also tempered!" Mrs. Hu looked at the child in front of her with a smile, and somehow, she felt that this child was very close to her. Looking at her slender body and bright eyes, there is an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
"Your Aunt Feng gave a meeting gift, and Aunt Dan can't be left behind, right?" Mrs. Qu smiled and called Huiya over, and when Huiya bowed her knees, Mrs. Qu took out a pink purse from her sleeve.
After opening the purse, she took out a small red gold comb inside, and Mrs. Qu handed the small comb to Hui Ya. He smiled mildly and said, "Come, this little comb is suitable for you girls to wear, see if you like it?" ”
"Thank you, Aunt Dan!" With Aunt Feng's meeting gift at the bottom, Huiya accepted Aunt Dan's gift from Shanruliu, looking at the things in her hand happily, looking coquettish and innocent. It made the three women in the room feel so cute.
Cui'er looked at Huiya's happy face. Thinking that she didn't like to hear what her married women said, she left her for a while and then let her go out to play.
"Hmm. Sister Cui'er's house is exquisitely decorated, and the taste of tea is good, I have been drinking tea for so many years, and today I actually feel that what I drank before was in vain. Mrs. Qu said that she was a little thirsty. He picked up the tea bowl on the table and took a sip, and the tea was in his mouth. It actually made her eyes light up. 2
"It's all coarse tea from my hometown, if the two sisters don't dislike it, I'll bring you two packs when I leave later." Cui'er is still very happy that her tea has been praised. Especially the green tea that is now used to entertain guests.
In fact, when Cui'er is entertaining, she can use the public tea bought from the tea house outside, but in that case. There is one less topic to talk about, and there is also one less window where you can push your own tea to the back house of the official eunuch in the capital.
"This tea is actually produced in Cui'er's sister's hometown?" Mrs. Hu listened to what Mrs. Qu said. I couldn't wait to taste the tea in the tea bowl, and I only felt that this tea was crisp and sweet, and it was much better than what I used on weekdays.
"Exactly, my mother's family is a tea merchant in Huxi, I learned some tea-making skills when I was in the boudoir, and now I am married to my husband's family, I haven't forgotten these, and when I have nothing to do, I can make some tea by myself, and I can also give it to relatives and friends." Cui'er explained carefully.
"Sister Cui'er is really capable, I tasted this tea, it was better than the tea bought at the tea house outside, I don't know how Sister Cui'er's tea is sold for?" Mrs. Hu is a wealthy person, there is no problem with self-sufficiency, and there is no shortage of money to spend on weekdays.
But this is only limited to the case of supporting his own family, and he can't stand Brother Hu's affection for others, and his friends and colleagues like to help out with everything on weekdays. And the Hu family has a large population, and there are many people who are easy and hard-working, all of whom are supported by Brother Hu, and these days are always stretched.
Now seeing that Cui'er's tea is of good quality, Mrs. Hu's heart moved, thinking that if the price of this tea is not expensive, she can replace all her tea purchases with Cui'er's sister's tea. Isn't it a good thing to save face and money in this way?
"What Sister Fengmei said, Brother Hu is a friend of life and death in my family, and we are good sisters with similar interests, if you drink a bowl of tea, I will still collect money from you, how will I behave in the future!" When Cui'er heard what Mrs. Hu said, she instantly understood what Mrs. Hu meant.
But Cui'er is not a short-sighted person, and her relationship with Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Qu is mainly for the life-and-death friendship between the two eldest brothers, Lian Qingshan and Hu Qu, in order for her family to gain a firm foothold in the capital, and in order to give Hui Ya a few more chances to find a better son-in-law, these are not things that can be measured with silver.
"Sister Fengmei and Sister Danzhu, you have to listen to me about this, this is just a matter of a few catties of tea, just tell me what tea you like, after it is shipped from the south, I will send someone directly to your house." But there is only one thing, can you talk to me about silver, if you want to talk about silver, we have a far relationship! Cui'er said with a hint of coquettishness in her expression, which not only let people know that she was serious, but also not because she said it too formally.
"How can I say this, I praised a word of tea, but it became a begging for something!" Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Qu were a little stunned when they saw Cui'er's resolute appearance, but looking at the sincerity on Cui'er's face, they actually felt that although what they just said was common in the circle of noblewomen in the capital, Cui'er had never experienced it.
"It's me who is abrupt, Sister Cui'er, don't blame!" Mrs. Hu raised the teacup sincerely, "Sister, I will toast my sister with tea instead of wine, and this tea will depend on my sister in the future!" ”
"My sister is tormenting my sister, but it's just a coarse thing from the family's birth, and it's my sister's honor to get my sister's blue eyes!" Cui'er also took advantage of the situation to raise the teacup, and took a sip of tea with Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Qu in their sleeves, and continued to gossip.
In addition to Yahuan, who was serving tea, there were only three left in the house, Cui'er, Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Qu, eating snacks and drinking tea. By the way, time flies. I only felt that it was only a moment of effort, and it was already noon, and Xiangmo came in from outside to reply, saying that lunch was ready, where to set the meal.
"Put it in the house on the south side." Cui'er said with a smile, and then turned to Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Qu, who had already had a good conversation. "Two sisters. Let's eat here at noon today, my chef Huxi and the north side of the food are doing well, let's learn from the north. How about eating on the kang? ”
"Okay!" Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Qu are both family members of military generals, and compared with the civil official family members of Wen Xuan, they are also a little more bold and a little less restrained.
When the two of them heard this, they smiled in response. followed Cui'er into the room where the meal was set, and took off her shoes and went to the kang with a smile. Not at all. When the food came up, he saw the strange dishes on the table, and he was very interested, chatting with Cui'er and eating at the same time. Although he didn't drink alcohol, he was also a pleasure for the guests.
Because Cui'er was still pregnant, the two finished eating. After drinking tea with Cui'er for a while, I was ready to leave. Because I was very happy to see Cui'er. The two also made an appointment with Cui'er to go to Brother Hu's house for half a month to sit and chat together.
"When the time comes, the flowers raised in my warm pavilion will be able to bloom, bring that Huiya with you, and your pair of baby twin dolls, let's enjoy the flowers and chat." Mrs. Hu said, smiling.
"I will definitely visit when the time comes!" Cui'er also smiled and promised, very happy that she had met her two sisters.
Let Xiangmo wrap two catties of tea at home for the two of them, and bring some small snacks made at home as a gift, Cui'er sent the two ladies of Huqu to the second door, and watched them get into the carriage and leave, which can be regarded as a successful completion of the task.
Cui'er's heart relaxed, and she suddenly felt a little tired on her body, and her waist was slightly sore. Although it was a pleasure to chat with the two newly met sisters, Cui'er was pregnant after all, and it was naturally very hard to deal with the guests and worry about the hospitality.
"Xiangmo, help me go back and get a good night's sleep." Cui'er said so, and was helped into the room by Xiangmo, and before she even had time to take off her shoes, she fell asleep groggily.
When Cui'er woke up, it was almost dinner, and Lian Qingshan was sitting on the edge of the kang, looking down at a book.
"Aoyama, when is it?" Cui'er slept a little dazed, propped herself up and squinted at the sky outside.
"It's still early, did you sleep well?" Lian Qingshan gently helped Cui'er up, put a pillow on her waist, and then put the quilt on Cui'er, hugging her close to his arms.
"Well, I've been a little tired in the past two days, and as soon as I loosened my heart just now, I was sleepy." Cui'er looked at Lian Qingshan's handsome face, and only felt that her heart was warm.
"Well, rest more at home, you are now tired easily, and if you can't be busy at home, leave it to me, and I will help you do it." Lian Qingshan leaned his cheek on Cui'er's forehead and said softly.
"Good!" Cui'er smiled in response, closed her eyes and seriously enjoyed the warmth and tranquility of this moment.
When it was time for dinner, Cui'er, who had recovered, took the children to Dongnuan Pavilion, Cui'er Niang pulled her daughter to ask about today's situation, knowing that the two ladies of Huqu were very friendly, Cui'er Niang was relieved.
Speaking of taking Huiya to the house of the two of Huqu in the future, and by the way, when she wanted to ask the two to help Huiya see each other, Mrs. Ye's eyes lit up, and she suddenly clapped her hands and said, "Just call your brother to the capital, he has also reached the age of saying kiss, wouldn't it be better if he could talk about an official lady in the capital!"
