Chapter 280: Rongguo Mansion Banquet
At the noon banquet, there was a mixed sitting of men and women at Mrs. Shi's table. To put it bluntly, there are only two men, Jia Baoyu and Li Miao were invited to the table by the old lady. At the same time, it also shows that the old lady attaches great importance to Li Miao.
It stands to reason that this is still a bit of a violation. But there is the ancestor of Rongning Erfu. Mrs. Shi is in Rongguo Mansion and is a person who can break the rules. Of course, Jia Baoyu was accustomed to it and didn't feel inappropriate.
Jia Baoyu just saw that Li Miao was also here, and he was a little unhappy. Li Miao also took the opportunity to observe Jia Baoyu and did not see anything unusual. So, the heart that I was carrying was also let go a little.
Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and sisters accompanied the old lady. Lin Daiyu, Jia Yingchun, and You Shi were also present. Although Wang Xifeng also has a seat, he is holding nine catties with one hand. I spend more time walking around the old lady and less time sitting.
Jia Yingchun and Lin Daiyu are Li Miao's wives, and it is reasonable to have a seat. Wives are more expensive than husbands. As the mother of Ning Guofu, You represents the face of Ning Guofu.
Wang Xifeng is the big housekeeper of Rongguo Mansion and the second grandmother of Rongguo Mansion. The key is that Wang Xifeng will come. Wherever there is her, there will be laughter.
No, the old lady was stunned by her again. Although Mrs. Shi kept laughing and scolding. In fact, the old lady still eats this set. It can be seen from the eyebrows and eyes that Mrs. Shi is really happy.
Li Kun is qualified to sit at this table. Now her father Li Shouzhong is an elder. Li Kun's status in Rongguo Mansion is also rising. But the seats are limited, and the second generation of mothers-in-law are all sitting. It's normal to have no place for her.
The most qualified person to sit at this table is Mrs. Xing. As a continuation of Jia Yu, she is actually the main wife. It may be that she was born from a humble background, and the dowry is not very rich. It may also be because of Jia Yu.
Anyway, in a word, there is no one in my mother's house. is a younger brother Xing Zhong, who originally came to the capital to seek refuge with her. If it weren't for Li Miao's acceptance of Xing Xiuyan, Xing Zhong would have been settled. It is estimated that Xing Zhong is living on the streets, and he said that he must be.
In any era, in fact, it is based on strength to speak. Only with strength can we be respected and have the right to speak. Rules are dead, but people are alive. Mrs. Xing sat at a table next to her, and she didn't feel anything wrong. She had become accustomed to it, as if it should have been.
Jia Baoyu because Mrs. Wang was sitting. It feels a bit of a thief's eye. The eyes are not enough, look east, look west. I also have to take into account Mrs. Wang's expression from time to time. It's delicious! I didn't move my chopsticks.
Knowing her son Mo Ruomu, how could Mrs. Wang not know Jia Baoyu's temperament. So I just pretended not to see it. Mrs. Wang was acquitted by Mrs. Shi a few years ago. However, the right to steward will be confiscated if it is confiscated, so be a rich idler.
After all, Mrs. Wang is the biological mother of the virtuous concubine in the palace, and the housekeeping rights have been confiscated, what else can she do? Mrs. Wang now looks at Rongguo Mansion, which is full of vitality. Whether it is a master or a slave, he is full of spirit.
A group of heroes entered the palace to meet Concubine Xiande a few years ago, and of course Mrs. Wang was also listed. When she saw Concubine Xiande, Mrs. Wang didn't believe her eyes. Isn't it supposed to be having a bad time? How can you see that it's not like that?
You must know that now in Rongguo Mansion, there is a lot less silver for Concubine Xiande. The eunuchs who came to the door also ate the closed door soup one by one. Concubine Xiande should have a sad face, and she is not happy.
Later, after the mother and daughter chatted alone, Mrs. Wang found out. It turned out that after the renovation of Rongguo Mansion, it actively repaid the arrears of the household. The emperor also gave the imperial plaque himself. Since then, Concubine Xiande's life in the palace has been better.
The eunuchs are the most powerful ones who see the wind and steer the rudder. Seeing that the emperor's attitude towards Rongguo Mansion has changed greatly, can these eunuchs not follow suit? Those eunuchs who used to come to the door to blackmail have repented of their intestines.
Who could have known that Rongguo Mansion, this salted fish could turn over? Is it the silver or the head that is important? These eunuchs themselves have no power. Relying on the name of godfather and godgrandfather to fool around outside.
So, these eunuchs found Wang Xifeng to return the silver, and even added a lot of apologies. Of course, Wang Xifeng will accept it, but if he doesn't accept it, he can't do it! These eunuchs have knelt hard, but they can't afford to kneel for a long time.
Mrs. Wang was not happy when she learned that her daughter was doing well. Concubine Xiande also takes care of Mrs. Wang and wants to have a good relationship with her sister-in-law Li Miao. Li Miao has two backers, Li Shouzhong and Lin Ruhai.
In addition, Li Miao is young, and he is already a high-ranking official from the fourth grade. The future is promising. And this time to rectify the second mansion of Rongning, Li Miao made a great effort. It shows that Li Miao's sister-in-law is reliable.
Originally, Mrs. Wang still had an opinion on Li Miao, helped Wang Xifeng renovate Rongguo Mansion, and arranged for her concubine Jia Huan to go to his study to study. This is not clear about being against yourself!
Mrs. Wang is now listening to Concubine Xiande, and this is really the case. Li Miao is really willing to help Rongguo Mansion. Otherwise, the old lady would not have taken him so seriously.
When Mrs. Wang looked at Li Miao again, she felt much more pleasing to the eye. When he saw Li Miao looking back, he also smiled kindly. Li Miao was also stunned, this was the first time in the world. Certainly not a good thing.
There must be something to ask for, and Li Miao and Mrs. Wang have met several times. I've never seen a smiling face at all. This is an unprecedentedly kind smile, and it is not a random smile.
The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, although Li Miao has no intersection with Mrs. Wang. The impression of Mrs. Wang is not good or bad. Dedicated to being a son and a daughter, it can't be bad. Let's see.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. Li Miao proposed to Shi Lao Taijun to buy Laifu, which had been idle. Now the second courtyard of the Li Mansion is still too small. With the increase in Li Miao's wives and concubines and children, it is obviously not enough.
Lai Mansion is Li Miao's long-term fancy to it. To say that the mansion of Lai Mansion not only covers a large area, but also has many houses and exquisite design and decoration. There is also a large garden in the backyard that imitates the Grand View Garden.
The Lai brothers still spent their hearts and minds on the house. And in the whole yard, there are still many violations. Rongguofu has always wanted to make a move, but ordinary people can't afford it at all, and those who can afford it can't afford it.
This year is still very heavy on feng shui. You said that the whole family was sold, and the official was sold, and the old lady was left to be raised by Rongguofu. How good can this feng shui be?
Li Miao is not taboo about these. He is lucky, and wherever he lives, there is a treasure of feng shui. As for the illegal places in Laifu, it is just right for Li Miao. You don't have to change it. Just check in.
Originally, Li Miao and Wang Xifeng could discuss this matter. But he didn't want to be tongue-in-cheek. I don't want to embarrass Wang Xifeng. Besides, Li Miao didn't want to take advantage of Rongguo Mansion. So, at this time, I mentioned the matter to the old lady.
Mrs. Shi is also atmospheric, she doesn't want silver, she gave it away for nothing. Li Miao didn't care whether the old lady was really generous or not. Resolutely do not take advantage of this. Is Li Miao short of silver? The reason for eating people with short mouths and soft hands is still understood.
In the end, it was sold for 300,000 taels of silver. Rongguo Mansion is very satisfied, this idle Lai Mansion really can't be sold for a high price of 300,000 taels of silver at present. Li Miao is also very satisfied, it is worth the money, and the cost price is far more than that.
So, the guests and hosts rejoiced. Li Miao took the opportunity to bring up the matter of mandarin ducks to the old lady. "Old lady, I want to wait for you to pass through the door after a hundred years." Li Miao immediately got up and bowed deeply to the old lady.
Li Miao also knew that as long as she brought it up, the old lady would not refute her face. But the old lady must not be able to accept it at once. The mandarin duck is the old lady's crutch, and it is really inseparable.
Although Li Miao is waiting for the old lady to be a hundred years later. But the heart is already with you. Is this mandarin duck still the same mandarin duck? Mrs. Shi, who had been grinning for a long time, finally restrained her smile and fell into deep thought.
Li Miao made this decision out of several considerations. One is to give an explanation to the mandarin duck. After all, she is already her own woman, and after a hundred years of Shi Lao Taijun, I don't know when I will wait?
Now that Li Miao's women all know about Mandarin Ducks, can Mandarin Ducks feel good as a girl's family?
Today, Li Miao was really stimulated by Jia Yu. Li Miao is not jealous, the key is what if one day, the mandarin duck is pointed out to others by the old lady? If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, so today Li Miao directly made it clear.
Including the people at the nearby tables, they also heard Li Miao's words. Jia Yu's reaction was that sure enough, his son-in-law was really a lustful person. Finally, I couldn't help but open my mouth to the old lady.
Jia Baoyu's mind is, who doesn't like Sister Mandarin Duck? She's the old lady's lifeline. I didn't dare ask my grandmother for it. It seems that this Li Miao is going to kidnap Sister Mandarin Duck again.
Although Jia Baoyu is not familiar with world affairs, she knows the weight of Li Miao in the old lady's heart. I feel that eighty percent of the old lady will agree. Jia Baoyu looked at the pensive Mrs. Shi nervously, and acquiesced in her heart, "Grandma, don't promise him."
