Chapter 242: Self-Knowledge

There was still some time before the dinner, Yunxi retired first and went back to Osmanthus Hall to rest.

It wasn't until dinner time that Yunxi appeared, she slept well, changed into her regular clothes, and combed her hair into a simple bun. He didn't look like he woke up.

The old lady invited the most famous troupe in Kyoto to come over, and the ladies listened to a good play, and the last play sang the love story of the White Lady, the White Lady and Xu Xian, and the ladies present burst into tears. I haven't come back to my senses for a long time.

At the end of the play, Yunxi hurriedly listened to such a passage.

I am an ordinary man in the world, invite the moon to drink a cup of nothing, and sing the bitterness of parting in this world. However, the red face is jealous, and the world has annihilated the heroic bones. Laughing in the sky, Yi Weijun danced.

Look at his poems in the wind, and lead the spring breeze into Tusu, dancing with the wind. She is like a fairy in nine days, her eyebrows are dotted with cinnabar, and it is a pity that it is the most difficult for a lover to become a family.

After this word, the curtain fell on the troupe, but the ladies were still unsatisfied and seemed to want to hear it.

The old lady smiled: "The ladies like to watch plays, and the old woman often invites everyone to come and see in the future, but now that the night is dark, it's time to eat." ”

The men and women of the banquet sat separately, Xiao Yushi and the male guests were in the main hall, and the old lady and the ladies were in the side hall, with a screen in the middle, so they could hear each other.

First of all, the first appetizer is dragon and phoenix soup on the male side, and papaya stewed snow clams on the female side.

The ladies in Kyoto love this dish because it strengthens the spleen, strengthens the body, and enlarges the breasts.

I am not afraid of blushing when I say it, and the husbands of the ladies present don't like their wives to have fuller breasts.

So the ladies are looking forward to it.

But when the papaya stewed snow clams were served, it was different.

Let's not talk about the dishes, the plates are very special.

Mrs. Beiminghou, Princess Anyang, Lord Linglang, and Mrs. Wu'anhou The plates are fine porcelain at a glance, with a delicate texture, as smooth as a baby's skin. The grain on it is exquisite, and the plate is quite large, and the papaya on the plate is also large.

The old lady, the Zheng clan of the Qin clan, and the ladies of the Imperial History Mansion also used larger plates than the other ladies.

And it's the obvious kind, anyone can see it.

But the ladies are all educated, and no one can say anything, but their faces are ugly.

The old lady also noticed, her eyes sank, and she turned her gaze to Zheng. Zheng went out in understanding.

The papaya stewed snow clams are all on the table, and this large and small shape makes the ladies unhappy, and no one eats it.

Later, dishes were served one after another, including the finale, the roasted whole lamb that was roasted and fragrant, and the ladies had no appetite to eat.

At this time, a Linglang county lord who didn't know how to look at his face came to her, and she said to the Cao family beside her: "Mrs. Hubu Shangshu, I have never been interested in this dish, and I can't eat such a big portion with a small appetite, your portion is relatively small, can we change it?" ”

Cao Shi tried hard to maintain a smile, but she couldn't hide the disgust in her eyes, she glanced at the old lady, and said coldly: "Thank you county lord, no need." This arrangement is very good, what status you eat, the old lady is so clear, we have self-knowledge, we can't eat indiscriminately, otherwise it will be trespassing. ”

As soon as Cao said this, an angry expression appeared on the faces of the other ladies, which is very rare among ladies, everyone is a person of status, and they pay great attention to their recuperation on weekdays.
