Chapter 10 The Three Daughters Outside Caolian Mansion
Seeing that she was angry, Siqin was a little at a loss, and he didn't know how to talk and watched her swallow melon seeds, so after a while, he grabbed a few melon seeds, carefully crushed the shell with his hands, put the melon seeds on a small plate, and pushed them in front of Qi Su Niang.
Qi Su Niang's action of swallowing melon seeds was slow, and she didn't look up, and after a while, she grabbed the melon seeds on the plate, threw them into her mouth, looked up and glared at Li Siqin, and poured the wine bottle to the wine glass in front of him, "Drink." ”
Li Siqin opened his mouth and laughed, drank a sip of dry wine, and began to talk nonsense with Qi Su Niang, loudly boasting about his ability to rob the road with other Cao gangs when escorting the boat, Qi Su Niang interrupted him from time to time, and whispered about her ability to deceive Li Siqin back then, so that Lian Dahe and Lian who were standing behind the two of them laughed secretly.
While the two were laughing, Lian Zhenyun came over and sat between the two, Qi Su Niang was silent, but Li Siqin became more and more excited, and brought a pot to pour wine for Lian Zhenyun and Qi Su Niang, and wanted to drink wine.
Qi Su Niang glanced at him, ignored him and went crazy, stood up and walked to the railing, talking to Lianxiang and Rui'er,
It was nearly noon, the stove fire scene dispersed, and Lianxiang and the others went back to Lianfu to eat. There were two banquets in the main hall, and Mrs. Futai was invited to sit alone, Qi Su Niang naturally couldn't be so self-respecting and self-exalted, and she resigned again and again.
Li Siqin smiled: "Big brother, sister-in-law, she's fine." None of them are related, and they will have to move around a lot in the future.
She doesn't pay attention to any of these things as much as I do. ”
Qi Su Niang also smiled: "The big boss is polite, it is an old man, there is no need for this." ”
Lian Zhenyun nodded slowly, removed the seat, and Lianxiang watched as the daughters-in-law and girls set the table and serve the food.
First, two large plates were sprinkled with white sugar rosehip steamed cakes. Then there is a bowl of roast duck, a bowl of stuffed crab, a bowl of rotten hooves, and a bowl of yellow bud donkey meat. A seven-smash clear chicken soup. Plus four cold cuts and four hot cuts. Soft porridge with stalks. Send it all together. There are also four kinds of Gaoyou papaya wine, Changbai Mountain wine, Taizhou Wujiapi, and Shaoxing shochu wine. Everyone used some of them casually. Qi Su Niang just used a bowl of rice porridge. Responded to the lotus fragrance respectfully three cups of papaya wine.
"Ma'am. If the excitement is unabated. In the afternoon, we can take the painting boat to Hongqiao in the northern suburbs to enjoy the autumn. At this moment, the whole city is afraid that all the people will rush over. Lian Xiang saw that Lian Zhenyun was really not angry. It's peace of mind. said with a happy face.
Qi Su Niang knew that although Yangzhou was open. But the ladies of the official family went out of the house to enjoy the scenery. Most of them are men who are in charge of the house. Although Chen Yan did not restrain her. She didn't dare to travel alone with Bier. lest you lose the dignity of Chen Yandi. She sneaked a glance at Lian Zhenyun. Seeing him drink without saying a word. Most of them have to go to the ground. I felt discouraged.
Lian Zhenyun if he is there. Lianxiang and others must be restrained. Even she didn't dare to open the curtain of the boat in front of Lian Zhenyun to see the scenery. Let his group of wives be watched. Where is the fun? He smiled and said, "It's been a morning." You're not short of it? I can't squeeze with people. People are dizzy. You told me to go back and rest for a while. We still have a long way to go. ”
The daughter-in-law and girls all over the room showed disappointment. Especially Sister Gui. Lotus incense is no exception. Qi Su Niang burst out laughing. "I'm not going. Aren't you going too? The big boss is here. I'm going to play with you. ”
Lian Xiang secretly glanced at Lian Zhenyun. But he did not dare to speak. Qi Su Niang was about to resign. Lian Zhenyun said slowly: "That's it for today." The stalk has a body. I can't get tired. I put the boat in the lake. You sit with Madame for a while. Madame is the first time to come. This is also a courtesy. ”
As soon as Sister Gui heard that the boat was released to play in the lake, she said happily: "What the master said is true, the new painting boat must be tried, not to mention that there is a mistake outside, but it will scare people to death." ”
Everyone laughed, and Lianxiang hurriedly ordered her daughter-in-law to clean up the food and drink tea sets and Ye Xi jade cards. Even the big boat went out to call the small family, bamboo, and inspected the painting boat.
Lian Xiang hesitated slightly, "Madame, do you want to listen to some music?" There are often three sisters in the family who walk around, sing well, and are also famous in Yangzhou City, no worse than the Jiaoer of the Shuangqing class. ”
Qi Su Niang originally wanted to leave, but when she saw Lian Xiang, she was full of joy and wanted to sit on the painting boat, knowing that they were depressed in the house, and finally had a chance to have fun, and she didn't want to spoil her too much, and even Zhenyun had to stay when she heard Lian Zhenyun talk about etiquette. Now I heard her say that there are three sisters who often move around, and I didn't think too much about it for a while, so I nodded and said, "It's good if it's convenient to call, there are more people." ”
Lian Zhenyun looked at Qi Su Niang's face, summoned Lian Dahe over, and commanded in a low voice: "Tell her to dress up plainly." ”
Lian Dahe naturally understood what he meant, and went out of the house in person to pick up Qin Cao'er, Qin Ba'er's sisters, and Dong Guan'er in the river house.
The sisters of the Qin family live in the south end of the Xincheng River, Dong Guan'er originally lived by the Guan River in the old city, and Lian Zhenyun specially bought a three-story small building on the river in the south of the small Qinhuai River in the new city for her in order to facilitate the stay, and the two families are not far apart.
Lian Dahe took Dong Guan'er first, passed on Lian Zhenyun's words, and saw that she was wearing a plain green dress, only wearing a palace-made pearl inlaid with silver bead flowers, and obliquely inserting a pink drunken hibiscus flower under the new branch, and holding the Yueqin in her arms, which was very elegant, so she let people carry her over the small sedan chair and take her to Qin's house.
A flower boat stopped in front of Qinjiashui Alley on Caiyi Street, and the two sisters of the Qin family turned over two plain silk flowers from the bottom of the box, stuffed the fragrant fresh osmanthus sent by the flower boat into a personal sachet, and went out to the front of the sedan chair.
Dong Guan'er quietly stuffed a pair of pure gold earrings into Lian Dahe's cuffs, "The big housekeeper, the slaves are called in the house on weekdays, but the little ones come here, and at most the second steward will go away." Why did Baba bring you here today? Ye Xiang likes to be more colorful, what kind of slaves have no bottom in their hearts today, they are afraid that they will make mistakes in their manners and make them angry, so they also ask the big housekeeper to mention one or two. ”
Lian Dahe watched the flower boat slowly sail away from the Qin family's small building, sailed from the water alley to the Hongqiao outside the city, glanced back at the three girls, and smiled softly: "I also wanted to remind the three sisters, today the mansion is different from usual, I invited Mrs. Futai to have a banquet, you sing the song, remember not to come to the master." ”
The three daughters were shocked when they heard that it was the new Mrs. of Yangzhou Mansion, and they all knew that the number of rites was a little messy, so they hurriedly responded. Dong Guan'er chuckled: "Even if the big housekeeper doesn't say it, the slaves don't dare, don't say that the aunt and grandmother look at it, even that Sister Gui is so powerful......"
"Sisters, these words can also bluff the stupid boy on the big boat, there are fifteen days in a month, where does the master live? Others don't know, don't I know? No matter how powerful a few people in the house are, they can be stronger than you? ”
Qin Ba'er sighed, "Big housekeeper, the slaves are even more powerful and not as powerful as that terrier sister, even if they don't have to go once in a month, they are also pregnant alive...... Although the slaves were combed by the master, inserted hairpins, and ordered, now two or three years have passed, and they still haven't made tea and carried them into the house......"
"Don't think about it now, the lord has never treated his own women badly, and your food and clothing are not half a point less than Sister Gui and Sister Rui in the house, but it's just a matter of waiting for a while......"
Dong Guan'er heard what he said, and hurriedly took off the red gold bracelet from his hand and stuffed it, "The big butler, please also look at the sake of the slaves who have always saluted the big housekeeper on weekdays, give the slaves a foundation, and let the slaves feel at ease." ”
Lian Dahe hesitated slightly, the sisters of the Qin family stepped forward and begged with tears, and Lian Dahe said in a low voice: "I am also privately touching the ground, I can't do it accurately, I estimate that if you want to enter the house, most of you will have to wait for the master to marry the grandmother in charge, and the grandmother in charge will nod her ......"
