Chapter 44: Fresh Peaches
In addition, thank you to the old girl, the indifferent 282594044 of the red envelope, the seal of the trick, the red envelope is almost 100, and there will be a change at that time!)
In the end, Sister-in-law Rong didn't muster up the courage to take a step, so she had to silently put the jade pendant in her sleeve pocket.
Her hesitation was all looked down upon, and immediately several close ladies rolled their eyes at her. Sister-in-law Rong couldn't, so she could only endure this breath silently.
Sister Su is more sensible, and knows that this kind of situation is not something that an ordinary unmarried daughter like her can participate in, so she can only watch the situation in the crowd nervously.
On the contrary, it was Sister Kite, who stared straight at the plate of jewels on the stone table, and her eyes showed greed. Among them, none of the twenty or so pieces of jewelry were ordinary, and if she gave them all, she would probably go crazy with joy. So she couldn't help but feel that when she looked at Chu Lian, there was a trace of jealousy, resentment, and a bad curse in her eyes.
Chu Lian glanced at Sister-in-law Rong, and saw that Sister-in-law Rong lowered her head slightly, not daring to look at her, Chu Lian laughed in her heart, but she didn't take it to heart.
"Third Grandma of Jing'an Bo Mansion, please!" Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi raised her voice slightly, pulled the corners of her mouth and said, although her words could not be heard intimately, her eyes were clearly disdainful.
Chu Lian stood in the crowd, not outstandingly dressed, but her expression was not timid at all, but people couldn't help but applaud her for her courage, she was blessed, "Please also ask your ladies to send a few people to follow me to the small kitchen to testify." ”
Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi might as well Chu Lian would make such a request, and immediately waved her hand to let the two powerful grandmothers around her follow, and Mrs. Yang did the same.
When everyone saw Chu Lian and the maid leaving with the four grandmothers to the small kitchen in the Mei Pavilion Courtyard, the discussion became louder and louder.
Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi was helped by the maid to sit down, and she sneered coldly in her heart, she didn't believe that this unfavored girl from the British Mansion could still toss a flower.
Don't think that your stomach is angry, your hands, feet and brains can fight for your luck!
Mrs. Yang sat next to Mrs. Hou Shizi of Dingyuan, and the maid served her a cup of freshly fried tea, she took it and took a slight sip, and said with a smile: "Why, Mrs. Shizi began to feel sorry for your pearl bracelet so soon?"
"Mrs. Yang, this longevity peach hasn't been served out yet, how can you be sure that you can win?"
The two of them "swords and swords" made the ladies around them silent for a while, and they shrank their necks and pretended to be quails. No one wants to accidentally become a pawn in the competition between the two like Chu Lian.
In the Qingfeng Pavilion opposite the Mei Pavilion, the blue eyes of the window on the third floor flashed slightly, and suddenly showed a smile, only to hear a low murmur, "San Lang, this kid, is married to a fun daughter-in-law." ”
With a wave of the man's hand, the black shadow in the room flashed again, "Let everyone stand down first, this king wants to see what results this Chu Liu can make." ”
"Yes, master. ”
A blue-clothed guy whispered softly in Zheng Shizi's ear by the lakeside corridor of Qingfeng Pavilion for a while, and Zheng Shizi's eyes that were originally staring at the other side suddenly lit up.
"But really?"
"Shizi, the little one doesn't dare to hide it in the slightest. ”
"Go quickly, come and report to me as soon as there is a result!" Zheng Shizi hurriedly kicked the little guy's buttocks, and the little guy ran away with a laugh.
Zheng Shizi took three or two steps to Xiao Bojian, who was still standing in place, "Senior Brother Xiao, guess what happened on the other side, haha, it's so lively, I didn't expect Lao Dingyuan Marquis to be a birthday, and there is such a bustle to see, it's really worth the trip." ”
If it weren't for the fact that the opposite side was all female dependents, and Zheng Shizi was an undecided marriage, with his temperament of loving to join in the fun, he would like to go and see it on the spot.
Xiao Bojian glanced at Zheng Shizi lightly, his face was more delicate than that of a woman, but he pursed his thin lips tightly, this expression revealed a strong aura of asceticism, which almost stunned Zheng Shizi and a man.
"Shizi said bluntly, Xiao is most tired of guessing. ”
Zheng Shizi was not annoyed by Xiao Bojian's cold attitude, he, Senior Brother Xiao, was usually so cold, as if he was not interested in anything, and he didn't feel interesting when he spoke in such an appetizing tone, so he directly explained what happened on the other side in detail.
Zheng Shizi talked about the excitement and praised it.
"By the way, speaking of this third grandmother of Jing'anbo Mansion, isn't she the one who made the Xinxuan cake that my grandmother brought back a few days ago that we tasted together! Haha, today, Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi is going to have an empty bamboo basket, and I really can't wait to see Mrs. Shizi's annoying expression. ”
Xiao Bojian listened to Zheng Shizi's words, but there were huge waves in his heart.
His thin lips pursed again, almost in a straight line, and his slender fingers on the railing tightened tighter and tighter.
He thought much more than Zheng Shizi.
How did Lian'er get into trouble with Princess Le Yao? What happened today is obviously a game, Zou Yuanqin, Princess Le Yao, and Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi are obviously all people on the same line.
What was the conspiracy of Mrs. Yang to push Lian'er to the center of the incident?
And He Changdi!
Since he married her and treated her like this, such a man is not worthy of Lian'er at all!
Xiao Bojian's slightly raised phoenix eyes were full of storms, and he suppressed it fiercely in his heart, he hated himself for not being able to help Chu Lian when he was in the most difficult situation, so he could only let her face it alone.
Since He Saburo is not worthy, don't blame him for snatching her over!
There are also these people who embarrassed Lian'er today, and he will definitely not let anyone go in the future!
Chu Lian, who was directing the two maids beside him to roll noodles in the small kitchen, would definitely give a big roll of eyes if he knew Xiao Bojian's thoughts at this time.
Another word: Stay where it's cool, don't hinder this girl from making money.
And your psychology is so twisted and dark, does your mother know?
It's a pity that Chu Lian doesn't know anything, she is busy in the kitchen.
The four grandmothers who came over were Mrs. Hou Shizi of Dingyuan and Mrs. Yang, and no one could do anything.
The small kitchen is because Mr. Wang of De'an Lou has made longevity peaches here before, and all the materials are complete.
In addition, with Xiyan and Wen Qing fighting, Chu Lian's speed is even faster.
At the beginning, the four grandmothers were still standing next to each other, and even the two grandmothers next to Mrs. Hou Shizi of Dingyuan had eyes that looked at people on their heads, but as time slowly passed, the eyes of several grandmothers became wider and wider, and the grandmothers around Mrs. Hou Shizi of Dingyuan began to break out in cold sweat.
At this time, there were two other grandmothers watching, and they couldn't leave.
Chu Lian acted calmly, and it only took half an hour to make several cages of longevity peaches.
The four grandmothers stretched their necks to take a look when Chu Lian took out the longevity peach, but Chu Lian deliberately blocked it, and several people didn't see it clearly.
When Chu Lian cleaned his hands and led the maids and grandmothers back to the Mei Pavilion, suddenly, all the female relatives in the Mei Pavilion fell on Chu Lian, and then they all stared at the food box carried by Xi Yan, scratching their hearts and livers, and they couldn't wait to have perspective eyes, and immediately saw what the longevity peach made by the third grandmother of Jing'anbo Mansion looked like.
The four grandmothers who had gone with them hurried back to their sons.
Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi's grandmother whispered two words in her ear, and Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi's face changed, and she asked in a low voice, "Really?"
Mama nodded, and said, "But the old slave didn't see what the finished product looked like, let alone tasted it." At that time, the third grandmother of Jing'anbo Mansion deliberately blocked it. ”
Hearing Mama say this, the tension on the face of Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi dissipated in an instant.
Oh! Block, that's a weak heart.
It seems that no one can learn, but a young lady who has never cooked much can make a better longevity peach than Mr. Wang, and she still doesn't believe it as before.
After Mama said this, Mrs. Hou Shizi of Dingyuan was even more sure that this was just Chu Lian's pretense, besides, it looks good, it is not necessarily delicious, and she hasn't seen the real chapter yet, why did she mess up first and let the annoying woman of the Yang family see the joke.
The grandmother wanted to say more, but was driven down by Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi with a wave of her hand.
Mama could only shut up, took a few steps back, and stood in the corner, staring at Chu Lian's movements in her heart.
Chu Lian led the maid to the crowd and blessed the ladies first, "Let the ladies wait for a long time." ”
Princess Le Yao glared at Chu Lian with her eyes and snorted coldly, "Contrived." ”
"Don't be angry, princess, she can only pretend at this time, wait for her things to be taken out, see if she can still have such a good face?"
Zou Yuanqin hurriedly flattered.
"Okay, don't be polite, bring Shou Tao here!" Mrs. Yang said in a flat voice.
Chu Lian didn't delay, asked Xiyan to put the food box on the stone table in the middle of everyone, and then went up to open the food box in person.
For a while, everyone's eyes were fixed on the food box, and their eyes widened, for fear of missing a moment, even Princess Le Yao and Lord Duanjia.
Sister Su anxiously stirred the handkerchief, and also looked at the food box worriedly, Sister-in-law Rong was nervous and regretful, and her heart was mixed, but the eyes of Sister Kite on the edge always fell on the plate of various colored jewelry.
Everyone saw Chu Lian take out three plates of moderately sized fresh peaches from the food box and put them on the stone table, the top of the peach was bright and dripping, the peach body was clear and full, and there were a few fresh and green leaves on the peach stalk, and the leaves were stained with some water vapor, and even faintly emitted the delicious and fresh smell of peaches, which was clearly the sweet fresh peach just picked from the branch!
The ladies were stunned for a moment, and some of them grew their mouths in surprise.
Suddenly, a delicate voice exclaimed, "Ah, this is not a fresh peach, it is made!"
The girl's exclamation was clear and crisp, so that the people on the spot could understand.
What? This is really not a fresh peach? Is it a longevity peach?
The girl knew that she was rude after speaking, and quickly covered her mouth with her little hand, and glanced at her mother next to her with a flushed face, and the lady also knew that it was her daughter's rudeness, and she apologized and explained, "When the third grandmother of Jing'anbo Mansion took it out, I thought it was a fresh peach, until I saw that this peach was still steaming, and then I realized that it was a longevity peach." ”
The girl and the lady were close to the stone table, and this was the first thing to see.
After her explanation, the lady of Manmei Pavilion was even more surprised, could it really be a peach made of flour instead of a real peach?
Even Mrs. Yang and Wei Fengzi became interested when they saw it.
Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi stared at the plates of longevity peaches in a daze, her eyes were in disbelief, and her hands that were clenched revealed her unwillingness.
"What's the use of being like, Mr. Wang's longevity peach is not like it!" Princess Le Yao couldn't help but be angry.
