Chapter 563: Hospitality

Such a scene flashed in the eyes of the fourth lady, the petite and delicate guest in front of her, if he was wearing a long white dress, was beautiful and refined; The big eyes that flicker are a little playful and cute, the low eyelashes are long and curved, the nose is tall and small, and the pink lips provoke a very beautiful arc, the whole person is beautiful and picturesque, like a fairy descending to the mortal world!

A trace of jealousy flashed in the eyes of the fourth lady, and she looked at the third lady's stupid gaze, and ridiculed beside her: "Sister, this distinguished guest is dressed as a woman. (Pen Fun Pavilion)"

The words of the fourth lady were like a plate of cold water poured down, so that the third lady had a cold war, a trace of doubt flashed in her stupid eyes, she rubbed her eyes, and looked carefully, the little boy in white, where the collar was open, exposed a smooth neck, and the skin was fair and transparent, and the Adam's apple was not visible.

She blinked, and then observed carefully, he looked petite and exquisite, white and clean, clear and delicate, and smiled to reveal a mouthful of clean little shell teeth, revealing the true color of his daughter's family.

Suddenly, a red cloud flew out of the third lady's cheek, and she heard the fourth lady mock her clumsiness. On the other side was obviously a girl dressed as a man, and she looked at each other with wishful thinking, which made the fourth lady guess her admiration at this time, but Luohua was intentionally ruthless, and she fell in love with the wrong object.

was ridiculed by the fourth lady, a face with exquisite makeup, annoyed and angry, she glared at her fiercely, and unceremoniously ridiculed each other: "My sister has good eyesight, and you also recognized the other party's female disguise as a man." The third lady laughed at her, and insinuated that she came out of the Qinglou.

The fourth lady's face couldn't hold back, she was most afraid of others mentioning her origin and origin, she turned out to be a woman from Qinglou, her little song sang gracefully, she was a popular top brand in Liancheng, she just relied on her good voice to fascinate Lord Huo.

Master Huo went to the Qinglou every day to listen to her singing, a spring water flowed eastward, singing softly like water, his bones were soft, he didn't listen to her singing for a day, and he couldn't sleep at night. He gritted his teeth, rushed to the Qinglou to redeem her, and carried a sedan chair to marry her back to the house and become his fourth wife.

When she entered the house, she covered her limelight, making the third lady hate her teeth, as long as she had the opportunity, she would ruthlessly expose her shortcomings, so that she understood that her origin and origin were lowly, and she was sent to the Qinglou, ten thousand people to ride, and thousands of pillows, she was not worthy of fighting with her.

A trace of hatred flashed in the eyes of the fourth lady, pretending not to understand, and sneering: "Where! In fact, my sister also recognized it, but she didn't say it, and my sister was quick to talk and said it first. ”

"Humph!"

The two of them lay on the window, looking at the three handsome people in the hall, suddenly, their eyes widened, and they saw the master get up and pour water for her pot in person, very attentively waiting for the guests, a trace of jealousy flashed in their eyes, their husbands have never poured water for them, they are all rushing to pour water for the master, carefully waiting for the master, lest the waiter be inconsiderate and lose the favor of the master.

Several ladies are jealous, rushing to wait for the master, and the old man is waiting for him every day, haven't they waited for the old man well? The old man went out to mess with flowers and grass again, and brought this woman back to the house openly, and waited for her personally.

They felt like the sky was going to fall, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy.

"If this woman enters the house, their good days will come to an end?"

"Where did this woman come from?"

At the critical moment, the two had the same goal, and they were both hostile to her, and the two of them had their own ghosts, hiding in the dark and continuing to peep.

The third lady's eyes flashed with jealousy, and she turned her eyes to look at Hunt Qi beside her, her heart jumped violently, and she was quickly attracted by Hunt Qi.

Jia Qi was personable, gentle and elegant, holding a long fan, sitting on the chair and fanning slowly, half of the elegance of the entire hall was absorbed by him, the third lady looked at him without blinking, her heart rippled, and secretly applauded: "What a handsome son." ”

The fourth lady watched the third lady staring at Hunt Qi blankly, and was also robbed of her soul by Hunt Qi's demeanor.

"Hmph" A cold snort scared her heart, it took her a long time to retract her lost soul, and she didn't dare to fight with the third lady, but she was unwilling, her eyes moved from Hunt Qi's body to Xiang Yang's body, Xiang Yang sat next to Ziwei, picked up the teacup and drank water, and when she raised her neck and grunted to drink, her Adam's apple rolled up and down, looking sexy, and the fourth lady swallowed in her mouth and swallowed the saliva in her mouth.

The third lady burst out laughing, glanced at her, she suddenly realized that she was out of shape, and hurriedly flattered: "Sister, I don't know where these people come from?" ”

The third lady sneered: "I don't know, the one who can become a guest on the master's seat must not be a simple person." They're all characters! ”

A red glow flew on the fourth lady's face, and she smiled wryly: "Sister Gaojian." ”

The third lady glanced at the vixen proudly: Hmph, the Qinglou woman is the Qinglou woman, and she will never see it.

The two of them leaned on the window again and continued to watch.

At this time, the second lady commanded the servants in the dining room to prepare meals, and the servants came to the hall with plates of fragrant meals one after another, and placed exquisite mountain and sea delicacies on the table.

The two looked at each other, and an idea came to them, and they quietly left the side room, went back to their room to get wine, and prepared to go to the hall to serve the distinguished guests.

in the hall.

Ziwei and Jia Qi glanced at each other, a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes, there was a famine in Liancheng, this year's famine was particularly serious, and Huofu put on the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and some of the ingredients were not available locally, they were all bought back from the capital.

Therefore, Mrs. Huo did her best to take out all the best ingredients of Huo Mansion and serve them to the table to entertain the three distinguished guests from afar, and the hospitality of Huo Mansion was beyond their expectations.

Lord Huo said to Ziwei, "Lord County, please take a seat." Ziwei sat down generously, Lord Huo twisted his fat body, took a few steps forward, and was about to sit down next to Ziwei, Jia Qi glanced at Xiangyang, and Xiangyang took a step forward and said politely to Lord Huo: "Thank you Lord Huo for your hospitality." He sat down next to Ziwei, separating Master Huo, and Jia Qi sat down next to Ziwei.

Lord Huo was stunned for a moment, Ziwei turned her head to him and introduced Jia Qi and Xiang Yang: "Lord Huo, this one is Prince Qi, this one is Xiang Gongzi, the two of them accompanied all the way, and followed the county lord to complete the emperor's mandate together." ”

Master Huo suddenly realized, the mystery in his heart was solved, Ziwei's words confirmed his guess, the two were indeed the two personal servants of the legendary county lord, he showed envy on his face, saluted the two of them with fists, and then smiled at the two: "Where it is rude, the two sons invite Haihan." ”

Jia Qi smiled gently: "Lord Huo is polite, when you first come to your place, you have to rely on Lord Huo's care." ”

"Yes, the food king's Lu should share the worries for the king, as long as the county lord can use the lower officials, the lower officials will do their best, the county lord has been running around for days, hard work, please eat, the two sons please drink." Lord Huo sat opposite Ziwei, looking at the white and pure, delicate Ziwei's eyes flashed with a strange light, this county lord is very different from the legend, the legendary county lord is the dominatrix, who knows, the county lord is so beautiful. He had never seen such a beautiful woman in the city.

Ziwei picked up the bowl, a burst of rice fragrance wafted over, her stomach gurgling, then I remembered that it was not dawn in the morning, I ran to the porridge shed to boil porridge and make porridge, there were too many victims, there was no porridge water left in the pot, and I was busy until now, and I didn't eat anything.

This is a bowl of rice made of pearl rice, the rice in the bowl is fragrant, pearl rice is tribute rice, ordinary people can not afford to eat, only the royal family and princes and ministers can afford to eat, therefore, people say, pearl rice is as expensive as gold, one or two gold, you can buy a pound of pearl rice.

Liancheng and several prefectures and counties in Linxian are rich in pearl rice, and Liancheng has suffered a serious disaster this year, with some villages not harvesting grains, and the government has not collected grain as tribute.

And Lord Huo's family used the best pearl rice for lunch for an ordinary family banquet, and this Lord Huo was very gracious.

She pulled the rice in the bowl with chopsticks, counting them one by one, and the fragrant grains of rice were transparent.

Looking at the crystal clear, sweet and delicious rice crape myrtle is hard to swallow, I always think about some hungry people with yellow faces and thin muscles.

Seeing Ziwei looking at the bowl, Master Huo slowly pulled the rice with chopsticks, and put it in his mouth one by one, chewing it carefully, reluctant to swallow it. A hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and soon he covered his expression and sighed deeply: "County Lord, there is famine in Liancheng, and the people's lives are not good, I can't swallow it." Ashamed of the emperor and the people. ”

Lord Huo paused for a moment, quietly paid attention to Ziwei's reaction, and seeing that her expression was as usual, he continued: "Knowing that the county lord came with the emperor's order to come for disaster relief, the lower official was overjoyed, and looked forward to the county lord's arrival early. If the subordinate is not well entertained, please take care of the county lord. ”

Ziwei put the bowl down: "Hey, the disaster in Liancheng is serious, and the county lord has no intention of eating, and it is difficult to swallow in the face of fragrant rice." Thinking that the people's lives were very difficult, the emperor learned in the court that the disaster in Liancheng was serious, and he had allocated funds for disaster relief to solve the urgent need, I don't know how Lord Huo implemented this batch of disaster relief materials and food. ”

Ziwei stared straight at him, hoping to see a trace of anxiety about the country and the people on his face.

Lord Huo also put down his chopsticks and bowed in the direction of the capital: "Eat the king's fortune and share worries for the king, this is the duty of the lower officials, and the lower officials must share the worries for the emperor and do a good job in the disaster relief work of the city." ”
