Chapter 658: Congratulatory Banquet
The matter of preparing for the banquet to celebrate Ah Xiu naturally fell on Li Xin's head, and Li Xin Guan Wen summed it up and planned to invite Mrs. Xun and others. Ah Xiu is right, this is a matter that makes Guan Wen lose face, and it is also a good time to make a reputation, Ah Xiu doesn't mind Guan Wen making a fuss about this matter, Li Xin naturally does not intend to let go of this great opportunity.
After drawing up the menu and getting the post, Li Xin and Ah Xiu sorted out the list of treats, and felt that it was almost there, so they asked people to send them out according to each household.
The time was set for three days later, Li Xin felt that his own cook and cook were too busy, and he also ordered dishes from Fumanlou, which could be regarded as filling the scene.
Li Xin of the Shen family also went to the post.
Since the last time she met Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Shen had a cold attitude towards her, Li Xin had never contacted Mrs. Shen again. Even a month later, Mrs. Shen still sent someone to bring her a share of the workshop silver, but the attitude of sending the silver was much more contemptuous than before.
Li Xin also thought about whether to invite Mrs. Shen this time. But thinking that this momentum has become so big, and I have invited so many wives, if I don't invite Mrs. Shen, I'm afraid that Mrs. Shen will find out afterwards and be annoyed. Besides, Mrs. Shen also knew Ah Xiu, so she planned to let Ah Xiu be Shen Sanye's pillow person in the past—although she was a concubine.
Li Xin asked Guan Wen, and Guan Wen still said the same old saying. The face always has to get by, whether you go to the post or not is a matter of your attitude, whether people come or not, that's the problem of others, you don't lose your manners, and others won't say anything.
Li Xin also really sent a post to the Shen family, and the Shen family replied very slowly, and it was not until the first day of the banquet that Mrs. Shen would come as scheduled tomorrow.
Li Xin was stunned when she learned the news, Ah Xiu looked at her expression, took the reply, said a few polite words and asked Qingya to send someone away, and then said to Li Xin: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" Mrs. Shen is coming tomorrow, should we be more prepared? ”
Li Xin nodded, but she didn't know why, but she was a little panicked.
"Sister-in-law?"
"Huh? Oh······ It's okay······" Li Xin waved his hand and smiled forcefully: "It's okay, you first see what are the flaws in tomorrow's arrangement, I'm a little dizzy, go and take a break." ”
Ah Xiu hurriedly said: "Then sister-in-law go to rest, just have me here." ”
Li Xin went back to the house, thinking about it and couldn't figure it out.
Ah Xiu's face is really so big, can he bother Mrs. Shen to come in person?
The last time they moved to settle in the town, they also sent a post to Mrs. Shen, and that time Li Xin thought that Mrs. Shen would not come, she was right, Mrs. Shen did not come. After the middle of the rejection of Mrs. Shen's two requests one after another, although the same displeased Mrs. Shen and the same satisfied Mrs. Shen, but Mrs. Shen's dissatisfaction with her was also clear.
Li Xinman thought that Mrs. Shen would not come, after all, she didn't give a reply after receiving the post, and after two days, Li Xin took it for granted that Mrs. Shen, like the previous time, did not plan to steal the limelight, and she was also annoyed, so she didn't even reply to the post and said that she couldn't come, so she didn't pay attention to it.
But I didn't expect that Mrs. Shen sent a reply at this juncture, saying that she was coming.
Li Xin rubbed the corners of his forehead.
She didn't think that Mrs. Shen was coming with some kind of purpose.
When I got up from a nap, it was already dusk. Because tomorrow is the banquet, Guan Wu Xing'er and others have already arrived today, and by the way, they can help arrange many matters for tomorrow.
Guan Wen and Li Xin discussed, and the existence of Guan Ming and Guan Zhicheng in the side courtyard was not told to Guan Wu and the others for the time being. Now that the courtyard has been locked, Guan Wen still asks people to stare at it, so as not to let tomorrow make a mistake.
The Feng family, as Ah Xiu's fiancé, also arrived in the town today. But it's not good for them to live in Guan's house, after all, Guan Wu and Xing'er are also resting here, they are guests, and they are embarrassed to cause trouble to others. Fortunately, the Zhao family is also in the town, and the Zhao family, as Feng Zhizhi's fiancé's family, is also reasonable to provide a place for the future in-laws to rest. Besides, the Zhao family and the Guan family are also in-laws.
Early the next morning, Li Xin got up and was busy. As the helmsman of the back house in the Guan Mansion, Li Xin needs to take care of everything today, no matter how big or small. Even if she has been instructed to go down and let everyone do their part, there are always some unexpected situations that she needs to deal with.
In this way, Li Xin has been busy like a spinning top since early in the morning.
This is even busier than she was at the housewarming banquet.
After all, Ah Xiu does not agree with the joy of housewarming this happy event, some of the friends Ah Xiu has made, especially some seniors in the apricot forest world, as well as some wives and ladies who have some family businesses that Ah Xiu has helped to see a doctor, and those who have a little friendship will come to give gifts, and if they have a good relationship, they will come to congratulate them in person. After all, Ah Xiu is the first female doctor in Huixian County, who has obtained the documents of the imperial court, has the same skills as the doctor, and is a girl's family. In the future, the diseases that are inconvenient for the male doctor to see will have to rely on the female doctor to check and treat.
This is very important news for the ladies and ladies.
Therefore, Mrs. Xun and others were more satisfied with Li Xin's invitation to come to the post, saying that Mrs. Guan was a good person, and they also accepted Li Xin's affection, and decided to blow more pillow wind in their husband's ears in the future, so that they could take care of the Guan family in the mall.
Li Xin inadvertently helped Guan Wen.
Of course, that's all for later.
Li Xin is currently very busy, one moment this one came to ask, the other one came to ask, she couldn't do it anymore, but she had to continue to tell one thing after another. After Fumanlou's dishes were ready, she sent someone to deliver them, and she had to ask people to correct the quantity and dishes, and then take the key and ask someone to take the silver.
After surviving, Li Xin was cramping all over, sat on a chair and poured a big sip of tea.
Qingya walked in and whispered to Li Xin: "Madam, the concierge said that there are no guests at the door, everyone has basically taken the seat, and the master is taking the lead in greeting and sending someone to let Madame go." ”
Li Xin exhaled, nodded and walked out.
After taking two steps, she suddenly paused, turned her head and asked Qingya in a low voice, "Is there anyone from the Shen family?" ”
"The Shen family?" Qingya blinked: "It seems that the fourth master of the Shen family is here, and it is the fourth master of the Shen family who has always been good friends with the master." ”
"Where's Mrs. Shen?" Li Xin frowned and asked, "Fourth Master Shen's mother, didn't come?" ”
Qingya shook her head: "No." ”
Li Xin's brows furrowed even deeper.
Obviously, Mrs. Shen replied to the post, saying that she would come today, but she hasn't come yet, what does it mean······
No matter what, it's still important for now.
Li Xin pinched his shoulders and walked towards the front hall with a smile on his face.
After some entertainment talk, Guan Wen let go of the table, and the guests began to push their cups and ask for each other, and the scene was very lively for a while. Guan Wen took Li Xin and Ah Xiu to toast at the table, everyone was happy, everyone knew that today's protagonist was Ah Xiu, and naturally praised Ah Xiu as like Guanyin Bodhisattva, saying that she was a weak girl's family, but she was able to give up her youth to soak in a bunch of herbs and medical skills, and study medical skills, which is really admirable.
Rao is Ah Xiu has always been spicy, and after studying medicine, his temperament has become calm again, but his cheeks are still red.
After the entertainment, Li Xin hid in the back hall under the pretext of being unwell, and Qingya and Guozi waited for her, serving her favorite porridge and side dishes. Li Xin ate two small bowls of porridge and wiped her mouth, which allowed Qingya to hug Youyou.
Youyou will be a year old soon, she looks pink and tender, she is not afraid of life at all, and her big eyes are very cute. Li Xin pushed her forehead with her for a while, and when she saw that her little tongue was stretched out, she asked people to stir rice paste and feed it to her.
Youyou was eating happily, Yang'er pulled Xiaokang and ran in, and Tingjiu behind him cautiously drove the armpit of Xiao Geng'er, who was still walking unsteadily, and also rushed over.
"Why are you here? Got all fed? Li Xin's hand movements did not stop, and he turned his face to ask Yang'er with a smile.
Yang'er stepped in front of Youyou in a few steps, reached out and touched Youyou's face, and replied to Li Xin: "Mother, after eating, Brother Kang said that he wanted to come and see his sister." ”
"Better than Geng'er, Geng'er cries all the time." Xiaokang stepped forward and smiled at Li Xin: "Uncle, can you call me brother?" ”
"She can call it a little simple, but she's lazy and doesn't like to call people." Li Xin smiled: "She only laughs at people." ”
Xiaokang teased youyou: "Youyou, I'm my brother, call my brother." ”
Yoyo smashed his mouth, smiled at Xiaokang, really didn't speak, and opened his mouth at Li Xin, signaling that she still wanted to eat.
Li Xin said: "Yang'er will take Xiaokang and Geng'er to play first, Youyou is still hungry, and when your mother feeds her, you can play with her again."
"Well, I got it." Yang'er agreed, and went to play with Xiaokang on the other side of the Eight Immortals table.
Li Xin fed Youyou, and asked Qingya to help her pee, which allowed Youyou and Yang'er and others to play around.
After sitting for a while, Xing'er came over, looked at Li Xin's tired face, and said, "You go to rest, I can still see these children here." ”
Li Xin was not reckless, and said, "Then it will be more troublesome for you, I'll go and rest for a while." ”
Li Xin went back to the room and fell asleep in a daze, and he didn't know how long he had been asleep, when he was suddenly shaken violently.
Li Xin opened her eyes, and Qingya hurriedly said: "Madame can be regarded as awake, hurry up, Mrs. Shen is here, and say let Madame, you go and receive it in person......"
Li Xin's sleepiness went back all of a sudden, and asked Qingya to help her put on her coat, wiped her face again, and slightly combed her scattered hair, and then moved forward.
Qingya followed behind her and said softly as she walked: "The banquet has been withdrawn, and the Shen family's wife has only come, and she only brought one or two grandmothers and maids, and the porter didn't believe that she was the Shen family's lady at first, and then the porter asked her to hand over the message to Miss Five, and the fifth lady said that it was indeed the Shen family's wife, and personally welcomed Mrs. Shen into the inner house." ”
Li Xin nodded, and Qingya said again: "Madam, Mrs. Shen looks······ The person who came was not good, and after Miss Five welcomed someone in, Mrs. Shen only congratulated Miss Five, and said that she was looking for Mrs. ”
Li Xin exhaled: "Let's go, let's go over and have a look." ”
