Chapter 66: Peony Appreciation

Mrs. Yang and Shen Xingyi, the Liu family and a few juniors of the Shen family chatted with Qin Mingyue for a while, and then invited Qin Mingyue to go to their garden to enjoy the flowers. It's late spring and early summer. There is a red incense garden in the back garden of the Shen family, which is full of famous peonies.

Such a group of wealthy ladies watching these famous peonies together is really a pleasure.

Qin Mingyue looked at these famous peonies blooming in front of her, including Yao Huang Wei Zi, Qianzhan Loutai, Er Qiao, Mohai, Youlong, Green Jade, Gold and Jade Jiaozhang, Jade Plate White, First Case Red, etc. All of them are huge and prosperous, and they are really fragrant and beautiful.

Qin Mingyue couldn't help but reach out and fold a pink "Yaochi Chun", looking at the big peony with flower dew, trembling and fragrant, she couldn't help laughing.

How busy was he in his previous life? Why don't you seem to have participated in this kind of flower viewing party for women? In fact, it's still quite interesting to come to enjoy the flowers with the women you like, why are you far away from them every time in your previous life, and you don't look down on those who are idle, and you know how to eat tea and enjoy the flowers?

Looking at the blue sky, there is already some hot sunlight sprinkled down, shining on these blooming flower queens, there are maids waiting by her side, there are tasteful wives and ladies, ladies and ladies accompany you to talk, how pleasant it is, why did you never participate in your previous life?

Well, yes, in her previous life, when she was young, she was the young lady of the Liguo Mansion, where is there a flower viewing party in the Liguo Mansion to participate? Later, she became powerful and married to the Marquis of Jinyang. The garden of the Marquis of Jinyang Mansion seems to be very magnificent, but these banquets and other things are presided over by Yin Dyed Qiu. Although she gave her face, seeing her presiding over the banquet with Hua Yixuan like a lady in the main room, Qin Mingyue's heart could be a taste?

Therefore, every time it was at that time, Qin Mingyue directly invited some important ministers to the study to discuss state affairs together. Where have you seen the flowers?

At this moment, there are no mundane things, and there is no obstructive autumn, Qin Mingyue is naturally in a very happy mood.

Shen Xingyi couldn't help but smile when he saw Qin Mingyue like this, and said, "Does Little Senior Aunt like peonies so much?" How did you not know before? In fact, although our Xiangyang Houma family is a military general family, there is also a good garden, and there are a lot of famous peonies in it. ”

In fact, Qin Mingyue had been to the Ma family's garden many times in her previous life. However, he didn't appreciate the flowers every time, but discussed military affairs with the Marquis of Xiangyang at that time, that is, Shen Xingyi's husband Ma Bofu. Rao is so, because he has been there a lot, and he still has a little impression of the Ma family's garden.

Qin Mingyue said at this moment: "Xingyi, we have already appreciated the peony now." Do you still want to enjoy peonies? I do know that there is a small lake in your garden, and there are lotus flowers all over it. It is said that there are a lot of famous products, and it is now the end of April, or it will not be long before June, presumably you can have lotus leaves on the lake and the rosy scenery of lotus flowers. Why don't you invite us to your house to watch the lotus flowers? ”

Shen Xingyi heard this, although he was a little surprised that Qin Mingyue was so close to her today for no reason, he still smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this? When the lotus flowers bloom in June, I will definitely prepare a banquet and invite my little aunt to come over to enjoy the flowers. ”

Qin Mingyue also said politely: "Well, when the time comes, I will not only go to enjoy the lotus flowers, but also eat the lotus banquet made by your cook." ”

Shen Xingyi was a little strange. Her mother-in-law and husband both like lotuses, not only planting lotus flowers in the lake in the garden, but also asking the cook to study a few meals made of lotuses, which is still in the experimental stage, how can Qin Mingyue know?

Seeing Shen Xingyi's strange eyes, Qin Mingyue couldn't help but secretly think in her heart, it's over, it can't be that the chef of the Ma family hasn't invented the lotus banquet yet, right? I said it casually with the memories of my past life. In the previous life, it was more than ten years later that the Ma family's lotus banquet became famous. At this time, I don't know if the cook who knows how to cook a lotus banquet has arrived at Ma's house?

Mrs. Yang said at this time: "Xingyi, when did your chef make the lotus feast?" ”

Shen Xing hurriedly replied: "Mother, where is the lotus feast, but our chef has recently made several meals made of lotus flowers, and the taste is average, and I tried it a few times, but my mother-in-law was not very satisfied, so she asked him to think again." It's just that I don't know about this, how did the little aunt know? ”

Qin Mingyue thought secretly, hey, it's a big deal now. Who knew that this cook didn't experiment with the lotus feast at this time. But how to explain this? She could only laugh dryly, and then walked away and pretended to read a snow-white peony.

Shen Xingyi was still puzzled, but Mrs. Yang automatically made up her brain: "Xingyi, don't ask." Since your little aunt said that there is a lotus feast, when we go to your house for a banquet in June, you can ask the cook to make it. As for the rest, I'll tell you later. ”

Shen Xingyi could only suppress his doubts. Mrs. Yang felt more and more that Qin Mingyue was profound, and she had the magic of her father-in-law back then. I can't help but look forward to it even more.

Although the sun at the end of April is not as hot as midsummer, it is also very roasting, so after enjoying the peonies under the sun for a while, everyone is a little afraid of the sun, and they all hide in the pavilion next to it.

At this time, Mrs. Liu came over with a smile and asked for instructions that the banquet was ready, and it was in the hall of the red incense garden. Please come and eat.

Everyone was busy holding the moon and holding Mrs. Yang and Qin Mingyue to the banquet.

This meal is naturally full of delicacies, duck with flowers, pork ribs with honey sauce, bird's nest chicken soup, pear slices with steamed civets, rice lees scarlet lips, rabbit breast milk room sign, Wensi tofu soup, shark skin chicken soup, abalone stewed pearl cabbage, etc., this meal is naturally eaten Qin Mingyue is very satisfied. During the banquet, I also drank a few sips of good Huiquan wine.

During the meal, Qin Mingyue thought that after the dividends were in hand, he must first change the chef in the house, and get a skilled chef to come over, so that he could not grieve his stomach.

This meal was enjoyed by the guests, and Mrs. Yang was naturally even happier when she saw Qin Mingyue's sweet food.

After the meal, everyone rested, originally, Qin Mingyue was ready to leave, she still wanted to deal with official business in the afternoon, so it was a bit of a waste to delay the time in the morning.

However, Mrs. Yang told her kindly that she wanted to ask her to stay and discuss a matter.

In this way, Qin Mingyue couldn't say that she was leaving, so she could only follow Mrs. Yang to the upper room.
