67 Foolish stratagems
Forget it, Mrs. Tang and Mu Wanrong have been in the mansion for a few days, and after that day, Mu Wanrong seems to have changed as if she is a different person, and she doesn't want to run into Duan Xiang's yard, and she doesn't go to the backyard to take a break when she is bored, which adds to Duan Rufang's previous conjecture, I'm afraid that Duan Xiang is really going to make a move again.
The autumn breeze blows, rolling up the residual leaves on the ground, whirling in the air, but there is no lack of beauty.
Duan Rubian quietly closed the history book in her hand, sighed silently, almost half a year had passed in the blink of an eye, and seeing that winter was about to begin, she was also a little impatient.
"Miss" In a trance, Lu Fu and Tuanzi walked in with a plate one after the other, "Miss, it's lunch time, don't look at it first, it's better to eat early"
Duan Rubian smiled, got up and sat down at the table, "When you say that, I'm really hungry...... Why is it just the two of you...... Where did Qinghe go?"
"She went out to buy something for Miss, Miss, don't worry, most of the manpower in the house was given to Mrs. Tang, Youtanyuan is not manpowered, she has fast legs, so let her go" Lu Fu answered Duan Rufang's doubts while swinging his chopsticks.
Duan Rubian was a little relieved after hearing this, he was afraid that the girl would go to Su Jinyu to say something, that man was very shrewd, and it would be a disaster if he was entangled by something.
"Eh" Lu Fu, who was swinging the chopsticks, suddenly exclaimed, then frowned, and the chopsticks were thrown on the table, making a dingdong crisp sound, "Hmph, I'm afraid those lazy mothers in the kitchen are lazy again......"
The dumplings are unknown, so "What's the matter, Lu Fu, is there anything wrong with this dish?"
Lu Fu angrily pointed to a dish of braised pork on the side, and snorted angrily, "Who doesn't know that Miss doesn't like to eat these greasy meat foods, it must be those grandmothers who are lazy, and directly made Miss Dao's dislikes to prevaricate Miss, it's really too much!"
After hearing this, Tuanzi also nodded in agreement, it is also a good thing that the two girls are so attentive to Duan Rufang.
Duan Rubian smiled casually, picked up a piece of fat meat with chopsticks, sniffed it, put it back on the plate, and said in a crisp voice, "That's it, I'm afraid that my daily vegetarian dishes are disgusting to them, it's okay, it's okay if you don't eat it......"
"Meow-"
As soon as Duan Rubian's voice fell, a soft voice came from the door, Duan Rubian looked sideways, it turned out to be a flower cat hiding behind the door, staring at Duan Rubian timidly, Duan Rubian was happy, and immediately let Lu Fu hug him.
The flower cat was a little dirty, Lu Fu didn't want Duan Rubian to hold it, but Duan Rubian liked it, she had to be casual, although the cat was dirty, it was hairy, and it was very comfortable to touch, Duan Rubian's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she couldn't close her mouth with a smile.
"This cat is also clever, it can climb in, change Ming'er to keep it in the backyard, and be a companion with Ben Ben or something" Duan Rubian said with a smile, Lu Fu and Tuanzi naturally nodded yes.
"Hey, miss, you see that cat likes you" Tuanzi clapped his hands and jumped twice, it seemed that he was also very satisfied with this cat, Duan Rubian patted the cat's head and gently snuggled his mouth
"It, where does it like me, obviously it likes the dishes on my table" After that, he put down the cat, picked up the chopsticks and took a green vegetable to the ground, the cat stepped forward and sniffed it, took a few steps back, and looked at Duan Rufang expectantly.
Duan Rubian laughed self-deprecatingly, "Look at my stupid, you naturally still like meat, um......" Duan Rubian observed for a moment, picked up a piece of braised pork and threw it on the ground, the flower cat rushed up with a stride, and ate one in one bite, Duan Rubian smiled and picked up the second piece and threw it over, everything was quite harmonious, but Duan Rubian's complexion suddenly felt a little wrong.
Lu Fu was happy to see Duan Rufang, but suddenly he didn't move, and he was puzzled at the moment, "What's wrong, Miss"
Duan Rubian put down the chopsticks, frowned, lowered his body and touched the head of the cat, the cat was quite energetic, but after eating two pieces of meat, the spirit obviously declined, Duan Rubian was depressed in his heart, just wanted to look up and ask Tuanzi to find a veterinarian, but he saw that the cat suddenly turned over and fell to the ground, twitched a few times with his feet facing the sky, and then stopped moving.
"Ahh
"Miss, this ......" Tuanzi has been in the mansion for so many years, and he is still quite calm and calm when encountering things, which is much better than Lu Fu, Duan Ru's eyes are loose, and he disdainfully raises his lips
"Don't panic, I have my own way to ......" After a pause, he summoned Lu Fu to give a few instructions, and then let the group go out, Duan Rubian took a sip of tea, Ying Ying smiled, Duan Xiang, do you want to fight? Then I will accompany you to the end!
Quiet Court
Mama Shen walked into the door quickly, and happened to meet the old lady who was preparing to eat, Mama Shen smiled and raised her voice, "Old lady, happy event, the third lady invited the old lady and other aunts, and the young lady went to Youtan Garden for dinner, saying that she wanted to catch the wind for the eldest lady."
The old lady's wrinkled face pulled out a faint smile, "It's good that the third girl has such a heart, have you informed Ah Lian of their mother and daughter?"
"Don't worry, the old slave has already sent someone to invite" Shen Mama leaned over and replied, there was a hint of pride between her eyebrows, for so many years, she could always guess the old lady's thoughts, now that Duan Ruhua is not in the house, these young ladies are the most favored by Duan Rufang, and if they don't welcome Duan Rufang at this moment, wouldn't it be stupid.
After getting the invitation of the group, the lights of Youtan Garden were bright for a while, except for Duan Linxiu, who was not in the mansion, almost everyone else was present, even Duan Xuan, who also came to go through the motions, but he didn't stay long, and walked away in the blink of an eye.
Duan Rubian warmly beckoned everyone to sit down, and first raised the wine glass to toast Tang Qinglian, "Auntie don't be surprised, if you are stupid, you can't cook, this table of dishes is made by the best chef in my life's house, if my aunt can't get used to it, then I will let them make a new plate."
Tang Qinglian was very happy on the surface, but in fact, she couldn't figure out Duan Rubian's thoughts at the moment, if she wanted to please her, it would be a little difficult for her to choose, after all, she still wanted to have a good relationship with the Shui family.
"Auntie, what are you doing in a daze, let's eat quickly" Duan Rubian glanced at the table, his eyes fixed on a plate of braised pork, Duan Rubian smiled happily, "Auntie, come, you see that you are thin, hurry up and eat some meat"
As she spoke, she was about to put the meat into Tang Qinglian's bowl, Tang Qinglian wanted to refuse politely, but who knew that Mu Wanrong was one step faster than her.
"Bang Dang"
Hearing only a sound, Duan Rufang's chopsticks fell to the ground with the meat, and the scene was a little embarrassing for a while, Mu Wanrong's face was sullen, and she swallowed her saliva as if she was afraid, and when she came back to her senses, she found that everyone was staring at her.
Mu Wanrong realized that she had lost her temper, and she was stunned for a while, "That...... I'm sorry third sister, my mother's own son is not good, I can't eat meat, I'm nervous for a while, so I ......"
Duan Rubian smiled lightly and waved his hand, "No, I don't understand, if I was reckless just now, I hope my aunt won't be surprised."
Tang Qinglian was also taken aback by Mu Wanrong's faux pas, how could her mother not know that her daughter had a problem, she had already found out that Mu Wanrong had been a little nervous recently, and when she saw her today, she was afraid that she would have a good talk with her.
Lu Fu stepped forward to take away the chopsticks and meat on the ground, and in the midst of laughter, everyone began to eat again.
"Third sister, that plate of meat looks very eye-catching, and there is a lot of meat, it's too unappetizing, it's better to pour it and redo it" Mu Wanrong said timidly, as soon as the words fell, there was a gaze next to her like a sword, Mu Wanrong knew that it was Duan Xiang without looking at it, but what could she do, she was only a twelve or thirteen-year-old woman, a pampered woman, and she couldn't have Duan Xiang's deep thoughts.
Duan Rubian smiled secretly, didn't say anything on his face, and directly beckoned Tuanzi to come forward and withdraw the meal, but before Tuanzi could take the meat out of the door, there was a scream from Lu Fu outside.
When everyone was puzzled, Lu Fu stumbled into the door, and the sound resounded through the Youtan Garden, startling a few birds perched on the trees
"Miss, that meat can't be eaten!"
