Chapter Seventy-Four: The Stranger (1)
The weather has warmed up, and all kinds of flowers are just right. Originally, it was best to have a banquet in the garden, but the last incident left a shadow on Chen, she didn't dare to hold a banquet in the garden, so she cleaned the flower shed at home and put two tables together to make a big table for the girls. She herself, Second Lady Gong, Grandma Chen San and others avoided the nearby Douchun Hall to see the peony flowers, drink tea and play cards, and only let the third aunt and Mrs. Yu take on the role of general manager, responsible for eating and drinking.
The fourth aunt was very envious of the third aunt, but Chen had no intention of letting her do things at all, so she had to stand behind Chen sadly and continue to exercise the duties of a personal maid, not forgetting to let Xiao Ai go and tell Ming Pei to behave well and erect a gentle image among the little sisters.
The little girls who participated in Ming Fei's birthday banquet today were all carefully selected by the Chen family, in addition to the ladies of the Gong family, the Liu family, the Chen family, and the Cai family, as well as Miss Sun of the Yuan Hanlin family who had just returned from the capital, there were more than ten people of all sizes.
After the first few meetings and contacts, Ming Fei and the ladies have become familiar with each other, and soon they are talking and laughing. Everyone played with throwing pots and forced each other to drink. In the midst of the excitement, Gong Jingqi quietly touched Ming Fei and pointed to the corner with her chin: "What's wrong with your fourth sister?" So far, nothing has been eaten. Didn't say a word either. ”
As soon as she asked, several pairs of ears poked out.
Mingzi was wearing a new goose-yellow crepe dress embroidered with pale green entangled branches and roses, and sat in the corner with a beauty fan, hanging her head and saying nothing, with a pitiful face. Ming Fei smiled slightly and said, "She was a little uncomfortable when she got up this morning, but she remembered that she must come to make me lively, so she has been holding on until now." ”
Gong Jingqi glanced at Ming Fei suspiciously, but she only saw the sincerity on Ming Fei's face, and she couldn't see anything else, so she pursed her lips and turned around to greet Ming Zi: "Come and try this pure vegetable soup, it's very good, it's comfortable to drink." ”
A trace of impatience flashed in Mingzi's eyes, and he was about to push it away, but after thinking about it, he still squeezed out a smiling face, took the soup handed by Gong Jingqi with a smile, and talked to Gong Jingqi about where to go to the best place to play, where is the best place to go to Shuicheng Mansion, and so on Ming Fei didn't know. When the others heard this, they all started talking, and unconsciously squeezed Ming Fei aside.
Ming Pei looked at the smug look on Mingzi's face angrily, and said softly to Ming Fei and Ming Yu: "Look at her arrogant appearance!" It's really a dog can't change eating! Let's give her some color! Teach her to know that the young and the old are in order! Who is the right man today! In just half a month, she has changed from Mingzi's dog leg to Mingzi's enemy, and defected to Mingfei Mingyu's side.
Ming Fei nodded Ming Pei's nose affectionately: "If I want to talk about this, I have to talk about you first!" You're a sister. You must know that people always have things they don't know, and you can't always let everyone revolve around you and do what you have to do. Not to mention. We are one, and this must be kept in mind. ”
Talking about Mingpei in her mouth, but her eyes are looking at Mingyu, you can't let these little girls with a lot of thieves teach the cute little Mingyu badly. She requires Mingyu to be smart and reasonable, understand current affairs, and be able to protect herself, but her heart and eyes must not be crooked. She and Mingzi, behind closed doors is one thing, and it's another thing to be in front of outsiders.
Mingyu was originally indignant, and after listening to Mingpei's words, he was already eager to try, but when he saw Ming Fei say this, his eyes were staring at him again, and he immediately understood what Ming Fei meant, and hurriedly put away the indignant look, replaced it with a smiling face, and looked at Ming Fei with a smile.
Ming Fei pinched her fleshy cheeks lovingly, and sandwiched a jade siu mai for her and Ming Pei respectively, and another for herself, they said theirs, she fed herself first. Suddenly, Chen Ying said: "Ming Fei? ”
Ming Fei looked up. I saw that the people on the table were all looking at him, and Mingzi had a smug face. Although I don't know what Mingzi told them, but when I saw that the move was over, I smiled and said, "What's wrong?" Why are they all looking at me? ”
"I heard you're good at feeding things?" A little girl with a pointed chin and a pale face asked seriously, it was from the capital, Yuan Hanlin's thirteen-year-old ninth lady Yuan Mei'er.
Ming Fei was inexplicable, but saw that the faces of several young ladies in the Cai family were quite ugly, the three sisters of the Gong family all lowered their heads, the two sisters of the Liu family looked at themselves worriedly, Mingzi covered half of her face with a fan, and it was still difficult to hide the malice and sarcasm in her eyes, but Chen Ying couldn't see anything on her face. After thinking about it and thinking about it, Fang said sincerely: "I don't know what my sister is asking?" ”
Yuan Mei'er's long and upturned eyes picked sarcastically: "Livestock and the like." ”
Mingfei probably had a number in her heart, and it was about Mingzi who mentioned her affairs in the countryside to them again, I don't know if she was good at feeding pigs? Feed the dog? Or feed the cows? Or feed the horses? So he made an open heart: "I don't know if a dog is considered an animal?" ”
Yuan Mei'er said: "Not people are animals!" ”
"Oh!" Ming Fei smiled innocently: "Don't dare to lie to my sister, I'm good at raising dogs!" I used to raise one in the countryside, and now this peony dog is the second! ”
Yuan Mei'er said: "What about the others?" ”
Ming Fei smiled embarrassedly: "I haven't touched anything else." ”
Chen Ying said: "I'll just say that it is impossible for the Philippines to feed pigs and cattle." He smiled and said to Yuan Mei'er: "My cousin, who knows etiquette best, is literate and hyphenated, and raising dogs, cats and birds is Yaxing, how can he do the work done by those rough people." ”
Yuan Mei'er said: "Those are all splash people's work, I just said how can a young lady with the same prefect do that kind of splash work!" If that's the case, you don't deserve to sit at our table! Pointing at Mingzi and said loudly: "You are really unreasonable, inexplicably slandering your own sister, I will never believe your words in the future." ”
Mingzi glared at Ming Fei angrily, and before he could speak, he was picked up by Ming Fei: "Sister Yuan misunderstood, my fourth sister likes to joke." I was coaxed by her when I first came home, look, you almost fell for it, right? ”
Damn, she really cut cow grass, as for the pigs, the Wu family didn't feed the pigs, otherwise she would have to raise pigs. Isn't labor the most glorious? How did it fall into the mouth of this noble Miss Hanlin, it is a splash, and she is not worthy of sitting at the same table with her? Labor is not glorious, rice worms are glorious, well, well, follow the customs, she doesn't recognize and no one dares to do anything to her.
Hearing Ming Fei say this, Chen Ying hurriedly smiled: "Yes, yes, how did I forget, the fourth girl has this temper, she loves to coax people, and she won't coax you next time you meet." "She is now cousins with Ming Fei and others, so she naturally wants to follow her.
Yuan Mei'er looked at Mingzi suspiciously: "Really? ”
Mingzi's face was snow-white at first, and then instantly flushed, and he sat there stiffly pulling out a smile. said: "It's me who is abrupt, Sister Yuan, don't be angry." ”
A trace of annoyance flashed in Yuan Mei'er's eyes, and she sneered: "It turns out that you are bullying!" It almost made me a fool of myself, so unreasonable! People like you have bad intentions! Could it be that the girls in your Shuicheng Mansion are all so uneducated? The person from her capital is also a young lady from the Qinggui Hanlin family, and she doesn't take the daughters of this group of middle- and lower-level officials seriously, and her words are full of momentum and sonorous.
Everyone was first frightened by Yuan Mei'er's angry appearance, and then when they heard her last sentence, their faces turned white with anger. At the moment, I remembered this matter on Mingzi, and swore that I would never be with Mingzi again. Mingzi originally wanted to make friends with this beautiful and noble lady from the capital, but in a blink of an eye, she suddenly turned her face, and she was at a loss.
Ming Fei laughed, stood up and blessed Yuan Mei'er, and said loudly: "Sister Yuan... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
