Chapter Twenty-Eight: Sister Understands You
The birthday banquet went very smoothly, and as soon as the banquet opened, everyone ate more restrainedly.
said that it was a banquet, but in fact, there were only two pairs of sisters and brothers, and there were no men and women, and they sat together.
Rong Niang held the noblewoman's shelf and only ate what the maid sandwiched into her bowl.
At first, everyone didn't have anything to say, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
Ruixue is also in the mood to eat a big meal, why is this birthday not happy at all.
In fact, except for Lu Siyuan, who has no heart and lungs, the other three people are pretending to have something in their hearts.
It's not good to show it at the dinner table, but they are all trying to show that they are happy to celebrate Ruixue's birthday.
The more this is the case, the more eerie the eye contact between several people becomes.
Even Xiao Tao, who was standing behind Ruixue, felt it.
asked Ruixue in a low voice: "Miss, why don't I take out the fruit wine I brought from the village and drink it."
None of you speak, you look weird. ”
Rui Xue glanced at Xiao Tao approvingly, you are really a little clever ghost.
coughed lightly: "Now there are no outsiders in my courtyard, thanks to Miss Lu and Lu Gongzi who can afford me and come to celebrate my birthday, you eat and drink well, drink well and eat well." ”
Say a few decent words first, lest people think that she is not a master.
Rong Niang was also very hard, and when she heard Rui Xue speak, she hurriedly put down her chopsticks: "I fell in love with you, and I really wanted to make you a friend." If you think I'm okay, just call me Rong Niang, don't call me Miss Lu so politely. ”
In fact, in Ruixue's heart, it doesn't matter if she is a friend or not, the main thing is that this girl helped herself, and she can't help but express it.
But there are some things that she still has to say, such as her not-so-good reputation.
"As you may have heard, I grew up in Zhuangzi, and I am a little different from the other nobles in Kyoto City.
I'm a person who likes to go straight, I don't have those twists and turns, and whoever is good to me, I will be good to whom.
If anyone tries to harm me, I will tell him to walk around without food.
Your brothers and sisters saved me from danger yesterday, and I will remember this kindness in my heart.
In the future, if there is something that needs my help, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse. ”
Rong Niang was very happy when she heard Rui Xue say this. She likes Ruixue's straightforward personality and the way she talks and does things.
Unlike other noble girls, they are twisted and pinched, and they are used to pretending.
Excitedly, he grabbed Rui Xue's hand: "From now on, we will be good sisters, and we will have blessings and hardships." ”
Rui Xue withdrew her hand a little uncomfortably, she was still a little unaccustomed to this girl's enthusiasm.
They don't seem to be familiar with that yet, this girl is afraid that she hasn't read too much of the book, and she only saw her for the second time today, so she can't wait to worship her.
Lu Siyuan "whined": "Sister, if you make friends, make friends, what are you a sister." You and Sister Ruixue have become sisters, so won't she also become my sister. So what should I do? ”
Thinking that Rui Xue already had a marriage contract, the second half of the sentence "I still want to marry her when I grow up and be my wife." He suffocated back.
The face like a bun suddenly wrinkled like a bitter gourd.
Ryan flew with a knife and his hand poked straight into his waist.
Poked Lu Siyuan directly from the chair and jumped up, almost hitting the little peach who came forward with fruit wine.
Lu Siyuan covered his waist and looked at Ryan with an inexplicable expression.
"Ryan, what are you poking me for?"
Ryan didn't look at him either, and took a piece of duck meat and put it in his bowl.
said coldly: "Eight treasure duck, your favorite, sit down and eat." ”
The words were swishing with coolness, and Siyuan's scalp was numb when he listened.
Scratching his scalp and sitting down cautiously, he didn't understand where to offend him.
Xiao Tao brought the wine, and after the gags of the two boys, the atmosphere at the dinner table was also warm.
Ruixue didn't want to drink, but today was her birthday after all.
Everyone raised their glasses, and she was embarrassed to say that she didn't drink it, and after two cups, she stopped drinking.
Ryan also restrained himself, and after drinking three cups, he didn't let Xiao Tao pour him again.
The two sisters and brothers are not polite, they are both knowledgeable people, and bluntly said that this wine is not simple, and it is difficult to buy fine wine on the market.
This is Wanwan's own wine, and I heard Xiao Tao say that Wanwan has a quirk.
When I'm in a bad mood or need to think about something, I run to sake brewing.
If you are particularly satisfied, you will keep it for yourself, and sell the rest.
Because of the small quantity and the fact that it is indeed a good sake, the price in Kyoto City has increased several times over the years, almost to the point that there is no price in the market.
Since the beginning of last spring, Wanwan has turned this hobby into a money-making business.
Some are brewed every season, and they are specially sold, and there is no special name for the wine.
In winter, snow water plum blossoms are used, rain peach blossoms are used in spring, dew lotus flowers are used in summer, and melons and fruits of various colors are used in autumn.
A skilled craftsman master was specially invited to fire the porcelain bottle containing the wine, and you only need to look at the pattern on the bottle to know what kind of wine is inside.
Because the wine is not strong, and it is made of flowers and fruits, and the utensils for holding the wine are also beautiful, it is very popular with the literati and the ladies in the house.
Wanwan also made a lot of money.
The more Ruixue understands Wanwan, the more she thinks this girl is incredible.
She even suspected that maybe Wanwan was also a big heroine such as reincarnation, crossing or rebirth.
But now that the people are gone, there's no point in pursuing those.
Since she has taken over the fate of the second half of her life, she can't live worse than Wanwan.
Rong Niang's sister and brother talked more after a few drinks, lost the reserve of a wealthy lady, and became more and more lively.
and Siyuan either exposed each other's old bottoms and quarreled with each other, or broke up black material with each other.
Ryan didn't show it on his face, but the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked to betray him, and he was a little envious in his heart.
Or maybe he hopes that one day he can get along with Ruixue like the Lu family sisters and brothers.
Rui Xue silently put the vegetables in Ryan's bowl and gave him a "sister understands you" look.
When Ryan received the look from Rui Xue, he was inexplicably a little shy, and hurriedly lowered his head, afraid that Rui Xue would see the clue.
He is a man, he wants to become stronger, and he takes good care of his sister, how can he think of playing with his sister.
Rui Xue naturally didn't know that her younger brother was not very old, but his mind was so deep.
Fortunately, she came back early, if she let it go, no one will explain him, and in a few years, he may grow into a black-bellied and cold-blooded villain.
Seeing off the Rong Niang sisters and brothers, it was almost dusk, and Ryan couldn't stay longer, so he followed them.
Ruixue collapsed on the couch, not wanting to move.
To be happy today is to be really happy, and to be tired is also to be really tired.
It seems that interacting with people is also a technical job, and she, a social phobia, still needs to practice a lot, so that she can pretend to be more natural in the future.
Xiao Tao urged her to bathe and change her clothes.
Thinking of bathing, Rui Xue still has a shadow in her heart.
"Let's wash it together, I'll wipe your back."
