Chapter 11: Showmanship
Even if there is no banquet, the food in the Hou Mansion is very rich.
Qi's mother and daughter deliberately show off, and the table demeanor is elegant and dignified, and the posture is good-looking.
Their original intention was to compare Xie Yunshu and the Su mother and daughter fiercely, to make their mother and daughter ashamed of themselves, and to let people see how big the difference was between them. The subordinates have broken their mouths, and they don't know how many jokes will be made up behind their backs.
In this way, their wish was fulfilled.
But they forgot that what Xie Yunshu and Su didn't understand, and Mrs. Xie didn't understand it even more.
Qi's is okay, although it is obvious that she is cunning, she doesn't let people see that it is deliberate, Xie Yunqian is more deliberate, and even reminds Xie Yunshu from time to time, but in fact, she makes fun of Xie Yunshu and says a few words about what is wrong with the posture of holding the spoon, the distance between the body and the dining table is wrong, how many times the food is chewed in the mouth, etc.
Xie Yunshu was embarrassed and slightly stiffened, so she showed a smug smile and took the opportunity to ridicule and ridicule.
came and went, Xie Yunshu was not doing well, Mrs. Xie couldn't stand it first, "Smack!" He slapped the chopsticks on the dining table, and said angrily: "In the future, you should not come to my place to eat, just let Shu'er and Yunniang come." There are so many things to eat, is it eating or suffering! You pay attention to you, my wife just wants to be comfortable! ”
Xie Yunqian was startled, tears suddenly welled up, and she looked at Qi and then at her father pitifully.
Qi secretly scolded in his heart, "Hillbilly! She's dying of disgust! But he smiled and said: "Old lady, Qian'er is also kind-hearted, there are many rules and exquisiteness in the powerful people in the capital, not only to entertain guests, but also to dress up, makeup, eat, walk, and even smile in daily life, otherwise it will make people laugh!" ”
Xie Houye also hurriedly said: "What Qi said is right, mother, Qian'er is kind enough to remind her sister, this child just speaks a little directly, and has no bad intentions." Besides, if you talk about your own family, Shu'er definitely won't blame her sister, right? ”
Xie Yunshu nodded obediently: "Dad and Erniang are right, my sister reminded me, it's too late for me to be grateful." Grandma is right, her old man is the old lady of the Hou Mansion, so naturally how comfortable her old man is! Who would dare to pick on her old man? ”
As soon as Xie Yunshu said this, Old Lady Xie and Marquis Xie both laughed.
Xie Houye nodded with satisfaction: "Shu'er is right, of course your grandma wants to do what she wants, how she wants, who dares to find fault with her old man, Lao Tzu - cough cough, I'll kick her to death first!" ”
Although Qi and Xie Yunqian knew that Hou Ye was not talking about themselves, they felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts for no reason, as if they were connotated.
Mrs. Xie was even more useful when she heard her son's words, smiled from ear to ear, and said affectionately: "My sister-in-law is still the most filial!" ”
Xie Houye was cheeky and competed for favor: "Mother, my son is also filial!" ”
Mrs. Xie laughed: "Yes, yes, you are also filial, but you are still not as good as Shu'er!" ”
Master Xie laughed, and Xie Yunshu and Su couldn't help laughing.
Qi tried to squeeze a little smile on his face, but Xie Yunqian almost scolded angrily! It's infuriating, it's infuriating......
Xie Yunshu took advantage of the situation and said: "By the way, father, Erniang, shouldn't my mother and I learn the rules properly?" I don't know if there are any grandmothers in the capital who specialize in teaching rules! ”
Although there is a melon-eating system, if Xie Yunshu asks about the various rules in the capital, the melon-eating system will definitely tell her.
But there is an obvious problem with this product, unless it is a big melon that it is interested in, it will take the initiative to share it with itself, and the rest, unless it takes the initiative to ask, it will not say.
Xie Yunshu didn't dare to guarantee that she wouldn't miss something.
Besides, it's not enough to just listen to it, this kind of thing still needs to be actually guided.
Since she has come to the capital, she and her mother have to go out as guests, participate in various banquet activities, and socialize with people, and the rules must be learned.
She is not afraid of Qi's hands, the grandmother who teaches the rules is invited, and she naturally has the means to make people obedient.
If you dare to teach indiscriminately - when the melon-eating system is vegetarian?
She only needs to ask about the melon-eating system to know if she is teaching correctly.
And who in this world doesn't have some hidden shortcomings that no one can know? Not to mention threats, you can always bluff people, right?
When Mrs. Xie heard this, she hurriedly said, "It's a shame for Shu'er to mention it, so I said that I couldn't remember what I was going to say." That's the big deal! Yun Niang is the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, and Shu'er is the eldest daughter, this rule and etiquette still have to be learned, otherwise it will not be a joke to entertain guests and go out as a guest in the future! Qi's, in the past two days, you will invite a reliable grandmother to come to teach. ”
Xie Houye also said: "Mother is right, this matter should be brought up, Qi's family, thank you for your hard work!" ”
Otherwise, Yun Niang and Shu'er have no rules, and what they lose is the face of Hou Fu, and it is also his face.
The Qi family originally planned to find a powerful rule to clean them up, of course they had to learn this rule, otherwise she would lose the face of the Hou Mansion and lose face, of course, she would not let them have a good time. When he heard this, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, old lady and Hou Ye, I'm already arranging." You can start the day after tomorrow, is it convenient for Sister Su? ”
Su Shi nodded: "Thank you Sister Qi, Shu'er and I can do it at any time." ”
Qi smiled: "That's it." ”
"Okay."
Seeing that the two wives got along well like sisters, Hou Ye Xie was even more happy, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you sisters will discuss it later, eat quickly, eat, the food should be cold in a while." ”
Mrs. Xie was naturally looking forward to her family and everything, and when she saw Yun Niang and Qi talking and laughing, she was equally happy, "Yes, yes, eat quickly!" ”
Xie Yunqian didn't dare to be a demon anymore, and the Qi family had to restrain a little bit of quiet and pretended to be dignified and elegant, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was relaxed.
I was finally able to really eat well.
Not to mention, the chef's skills of the Hou Mansion are really good, the steamed pork ribs are soft and rotten, the steamed mandarin fish is snow-white and tender, the mushroom slices are delicious and smooth, the soft-shelled turtle roasted chicken pieces are salty and fragrant, every bite is full of delicious taste, Xie Yunshu has not eaten such a good craft for a long time.
After dinner, everyone accompanied the old lady to drink tea and talk in the flower hall, and after a while, Xie Hou Ye said goodbye first.
As soon as he walked outside the Songhe Hall, he heard the Su family calling behind: "Master Hou! "Caught up.
Xie Hou Ye stopped and turned around: "Is there anything wrong with Yun Niang?" ”
For this match, Xie Houye actually doesn't hate it, but if you want to say that you don't like it, she gave birth to her eldest daughter for herself, and she has been filial to her parents for many years, he is grateful in his heart, and he is willing to respect her a little.
