The Fucha family has two dukes and two uncles, the second duke refers to Fu Wen, the Duke of Chengen, and Fu Heng, the Duke of Zhongyong, and the second uncle refers to Dunhui Bo Maqi and Xianglie Bo Fu Qing, but these two old uncles are no longer alive, and the title is only a viscount when it is passed on to the next generation. Therefore, it is accurate to say that the Fucha family is now the second son, the second son, and the fourth lord.

Today's chrysanthemum feast is held in the Cheng'en Mansion.

The Cheng'en Mansion where Fu Wen lives now is the ancestral residence retained by Li Rong, and Fu Heng's Zhongyong Mansion was later rewarded by Qianlong.

This time, it was Fu Heng's wife, Duchess Chengen, Guerjia, who was going to hold a chrysanthemum banquet and invite her relatives to get together. The post was originally handed to the old lady Jue Luo, and the old lady said to the two daughters-in-law: "I'm afraid it's too noisy, so I won't go." You young people like to be lively, take Yinrong girl and Yueniang to play. ”

Only an old lady would dare not give face to the Chengen Mansion like this.

The Cheng'en Mansion is located on Chongning Street, which is a little far away from the Zhongyong Mansion, so it takes half an hour to walk just to make a carriage.

In the carriage, the eighth aunt Guo Errot said with a smile: "In previous years, the fourth sister-in-law used to wait until the end of September when the chrysanthemums bloomed, but this year she was in a hurry. ”

The corners of Nala's mouth provoked a sinister smile, "That's why the old lady doesn't want to go." ”

Fucha Yingyue glanced at the ignorant young lady Yinrong, and said secretly, her fourth aunt just heard that her Ama Fu Heng was sick and closed her door, so she was in a hurry to investigate.

But these have nothing to do with her, the secret competition between these elders and concubines, let them go. All she had to do was get a snack.

The pastry of the Cheng'en Mansion is a must, which is famous in Beijing. When she goes back, she can eat with a round belly.

The fourth aunt Guerjia is a delicate lady with eight faces, and various banquets are carried out in fancy manners throughout the year, and she is good at dancing with long sleeves.

The chrysanthemum feast is a banquet of pleasure and interest, which is held in the afternoon and is located in the back garden of the Cheng'en Mansion. Therefore, the banquet is mainly tea and snacks, and there is no main meal.

On the five or six long cases covered with a color of autumn fragrant satin, there are extremely exquisite dim sums, in addition to the chrysanthemum cake that suits the scene, there are bergamot cakes, begonia cakes, orchid cakes, lotus cakes, each flower into each eye, the end is good-looking and delicious.

Among them, the orchid crisp is the most elegant, white as jade on the Ru kiln porcelain plate, is the orchid leaf outlined with brown sugar juice, decorated with five or six slightly yellow orchid crisp, the heart of the orchid crisp is also extraordinarily decorated with amber jam, a bite down, crispy sweet and crispy, slightly sour, delicious not to be unwanted~~

However, it is still the most beautiful lotus crisp, and the water moire green land enamel is on the high plate, and the flowers are stretched one by one, such as blooming on the green water and blue waves, and the end is gratifying. The petal crisp layer of lotus crisp is clear, the inside is delicate and the outside is snow-white, the jujube paste is the filling, and the heart is specially decorated with candied cherries, a little red.

Each piece of lotus cake is like a work of art, which makes people can't bear to swallow it.

However, Fucha Yingyue's unbearability was only for a few seconds, and after a few seconds, she unceremoniously grabbed a lotus crisp, ate happily, and ate with a mouth full of scum.

With a decent smile on his face, he elegantly praised the scenery of the back garden of the Cheng'en Mansion, praised the exquisite dim sum, and praised the mellow chrysanthemum wine, anyway, he never mentioned what happened to Fu Heng.

Duchess Guerjia of Cheng'en was anxious in her heart, but her face did not show anything. Of course, the Guerjia clan would not think that Zhongyong Gong was really sick, and at the previous celebration banquet, people were still full of energy, and there was no reason to fall in a blink of an eye.

But if his body is fine, how can Zhongyong Gong claim that his old illness has recurred for no reason and that he has not seen outsiders?

Guarjia couldn't figure it out, so he was in a hurry. Although the two mansions of Cheng'en Gong and Zhongyong Gong have some rivalry, they are both surnamed Fucha after all, and they are both prosperous and lossy. Although the Guerjia clan was jealous of Xuanhe in the ninth room, they really didn't want anything big to happen to the ninth room.

Seeing that the Nala clan was like a loach, the Guerjia clan was secretly annoyed, so he had to lower his body and said kindly: "Brother and sister, but what was wrong with me in the past, causing you to be so angry with me?" ”

Nala smiled slightly, her fourth sister-in-law has always been arrogant and arrogant, and she had a soft word or two, Nala was so proud in her heart, but she was busy saying: "What did the fourth sister-in-law say?" The old man is really just a little sick, and it's really not worth mentioning. Bothering my sister-in-law, it's not mine. ”

Seeing that the Nara clan was quite sincere, the Guerjia clan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yueniang, play with me, don't just eat!" Guerjia's youngest daughter, Baorong, puffed up.

Fucha Yingyue was depressed, although Baorong Lori was cute, she didn't want to coax the child.

Guerjia smiled and said, "Bao'er heard that Yueniang was coming, but she was overjoyed. This girl can't get along with Siniang and Wuniang, but she is very close to Yueniang's cousin. ”

The two girls, the eldest and the youngest, all stood quietly behind the Guerjia clan, very docile. Siniang and Yinrong are of similar age, but they have not been named yet, let alone Wuniang.

- These two girls are the daughters of Cheng'en Gongfu Wenshu.

Guerjia is arrogant, how can he afford to be a girl? She looked down on her, and Baorong naturally looked down on it.

Li Rongbao has nine rooms, and the heirs are the most prosperous, no more than the four rooms of the lord, except for the eldest son Kuilin, the second son Mingrui, and Liuniang Baorong are concubines, and the rest of the four sons and five daughters are concubines. These children, except for the third son and the second mother, who died young, are all healthy and healthy.

Therefore, the Guerjia clan is a well-known virtuous person in Beijing. According to Fucha Yingyue, the eldest daughter of the fourth uncle has already left the cabinet, although she is married to the right family, but it is a pity that she married far away and went to Zhejiang, and I am afraid that she will rarely have the opportunity to come back in the future. It can be seen how undesirable the fourth aunt is in her heart.

Virtuous? Huh.

At this time, a young daughter-in-law hurriedly stepped forward, "Madam, it's not good, Aunt Zhou accidentally fell and had a tire." ”

This Aunt Zhou is Fu Wen's favorite concubine in recent years, she has already given birth to Wu Niang before, and now she is the second child. At this moment, hearing that the biological mother was moving, Wu Niang's little face turned white.

Guerjia's face changed, "It's so good, how can you have a fetal gas?" ”

The daughter-in-law said: "It seems that I fought with Aunt Feng for a few words, and I was angry." ”

Hearing this, Siniang's face turned pale, and tears appeared in her eyes, she hurriedly bent her knees and said, "Madam, aunt, she doesn't have a heart. "This Aunt Feng is undoubtedly Siniang's biological mother.

Guarjia snorted coldly and couldn't help but sneer: "Anfen?!" Hum! Immediately, he smiled like a change of face and said to Nala: "The family is restless, so my younger brothers and sisters are smiling." I will excuse myself for a moment. ”

Nara smiled and said, "The fourth sister-in-law is really a virtuous person. ”

The eighth aunt, Guo Errot, couldn't help but say: "It's just that the two concubines are jealous, where can the fourth sister-in-law take care of it personally?" ”

Guerjia said: "It's about our master's bloodline, I have to be cautious." With that, he confessed again, and left the table with a face full of concern and worry.

Guo Errot was disgusted by the last words of her fourth sister-in-law, and couldn't help but hum: "It's really ...... O virtuous man! ”

Nala sighed lightly, if he is really virtuous, he should not show his family ugliness to others. Now it's good, everyone knows that the fourth sister-in-law is virtuous, but the two concubines have to lose their restless reputation, and even the fourth and fifth mothers are scared enough.

Fucha Yingyue said secretly, this fourth aunt is indeed a little hypocritical, "Eniang, I want to change my clothes." —which means boo. Although the pastry is delicious, it is a little dry, so I drank a lot of milk tea, so now I need to put water.
