Chapter 108: The Opening
I didn't expect so many friends to join in the group that I just built, thank you for liking the article written by Alan!)
Where can Mama Gui let her sleep again, just be lazy on weekdays, the old lady in the house loves her, and often saves her master from waking up in the morning, and their slaves and maids also feel sorry for their master, and always want her to sleep full.
But today is different, Guilinju opens, this is what their three grandmothers have been planning for months, and the old lady is also waiting to see the results!
"Third Grandma, Guilinju is open today, you can go there in person! ”
Hearing Mama Gui say this, Chu Lian opened her eyes, sighed, sat up, and instructed Xiyan to fetch her clothes.
Chu Lian said while dressing, "Mama, you don't have to worry, even if I don't go today, this will be as popular as Lin Ju." ”
How could Mama Gui believe that even if Guilinju was rebuilt and magnificent, even compared to the Yuehong Mansion on Suzaku Street, she didn't believe that Guilinju would be immediately full of guests, after all, in such a cold area, there were still residential houses around.
The third grandmother really coaxed her!
Chu Lian saw the obvious disbelief in Mama Gui's eyes, and pulled the corners of her mouth helplessly, deciding to prove it with facts.
Xi Yan picked out an apricot-colored dress embroidered with plum blossoms for her, which was not high-profile, but also brought a hint of joy because of the red plum on the dress.
There are not many invitations, there are only ten in total, which she wrote herself, and after practicing the words for several months, she can finally meet people, and her daily efforts are in vain.
Although there are few invitations, they are not expensive.
Zheng Guo's Mansion and Wei Wang's Mansion each sent two copies, as well as the invitations from Lord Ge and Xiao Wei before, and the remaining four, two were sent to Yang's Mansion and two were sent to his mother's British Mansion.
These people are the distinguished guests that Chu Lian wants to invite today.
Chu Lian dressed up slowly, enjoyed the morning food again, and went to Qinghui Hall under the anxious urging of Mama Gui.
Today, Wen Qing and Lan will accompany Chu Lian, and the rest of the big girls will stay until it is close to noon, and they will go to Guilin Ju with the two grandmothers to entertain the guests.
Fu Yan and Xi Yan stood together and looked at Chu Lian's slender back.
Fu Yan's face was full of astonishment, and she smacked her lips, "Why don't you say our third grandmother is not worried at all?
Xi Yan glared at her, her face full of confidence, "Don't talk nonsense, I believe in the third grandmother." ”
Fu Yan was disdainful in his heart, it was obviously a fact, and he didn't let people say it?
I don't know where Xiyan got her confidence, in her heart, a shrewd person like the old lady of the broken restaurant can't save it, can their three grandmothers be better than the old lady?
In the courtyard of the big house, Zou waved his hand to let a group of housekeepers who came to report the matter step down, and the maids around her brought her freshly fried tea.
Zou took a sip of the teacup, and the corners of his mouth raised.
If she remembers it well, today is the day when the third brother and sister return to Linju to open.
Guilinju is the property in the hands of the old lady, she knows the situation of this old restaurant better than anyone else, she admits that the dishes made by the secret recipes of the third brother and sister are very delicious, but the restaurant is in such a remote place, I am afraid that no one will think of going over to eat.
The aroma of wine is still afraid of deep alleys, let alone restaurants!
If you want to be famous, it's not a matter of one or two days, if you really wait until that day, I'm afraid the daylily will be cold, and at that time, it's just a wedding dress for her.
Thinking of this, Zou was proud, today, she was waiting to see Chu Lian's jokes.
was thinking happily, but saw He Changqi striding out of the back room, looking at him dressed in an obviously modified outfit, Zou frowned, "Da Lang, where are you going?"
He Changqi straightened his neckline, and ordered the maid to take the morning food, he sat down at the table and picked up the chopsticks before saying: "Today, the third brother and sister's restaurant is open, and I will go to support her field." ”
When Zou heard this, his eyes immediately widened, "It's just a restaurant, why do I want you to go too." ”
He Changqi frowned and glanced at her, "Ge Da, Tiansheng, and Xiao Wei Yuanhou will all go to the party today, if I don't go, who will entertain these male guests?"
Zou stiffened, looking at her husband in disbelief, and suddenly she felt apprehensive in her heart, remembering that her husband's friends came to the house as a guest that day, and she took Chu Lian's credit, could it be that those people already knew.
He Changqi suddenly felt that he had lost his appetite, he put down his chopsticks, picked up his robe, and took a deep look at Zou before leaving, and then left the courtyard without greeting.
Zou, who was left on the sandalwood chair in the flower hall, turned pale for a moment.
She wanted to call "Da Lang", but the voice lingered for a long time and didn't come out of her throat.
Reading the Red Mansion.
During the banquet, when I heard a commotion on the street, accompanied by the noise of people, everyone couldn't help but glance at each other, and one of the closest people by the window pushed open the window.
Suddenly, the noise came in louder.
"There are so many people on the street!" said one person.
During the banquet, another bearded man laughed loudly, "What's so strange about this, there are already a lot of people on the street." ”
Suddenly, everyone in the lobby laughed together.
The man who spoke first suddenly turned red, "No, no, it seems that something happened, someone separated the way, and someone wore lion dance clothes." ”
Curiosity in Shengjing City was never inferior, and soon one after another people stuck their heads out to look at the noisy streets.
"Such a mighty lion dance team, I have never seen six people dance a lion dance together, look at this posture, are you still ready to play music?"
"Is it really that lively?"
At this time, a young man in a blue brocade came from the door, and as soon as the young man came in, he said loudly: "Go out and see the excitement, I just came from Changpingfang, and there is also a majestic lion dance team preparing there!"
Everyone finally couldn't help but be curious, and many people got up and walked out of the restaurant and onto the street.
Mr. Wang of De'an Building was settling accounts behind the counter of his restaurant, when there was a sudden commotion outside, and the lobby of the restaurant, which was originally full, was suddenly empty, and a few juniors panicked and followed behind to chase people to pay the bill.
"What's going on?" asked Mr. Wang, who was full of flashy hair, and called out to a restaurant guy.
"Shopkeeper, the little one is going out for you to investigate?"
Mr. Wang waved his hand.
After a while, the guy came back, "Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, there's a lot of excitement outside!"
"What's the excitement?"
The man gestured with his hands, "The six dancing lions, the glittering lion heads are so big, and the ones who are playing and singing are all wearing the same clothes, and they look festive, and I don't know what they do, and now they are preparing on the street, and it will not be long before the performance will be performed." Shopkeeper, do you want to go and see the excitement, there are a lot of people on the street outside!"
The guy was obviously excited, and his face was excited.
Mr. Wang put down the abacus in his hand, and took his men to the street to watch, now the customers in the restaurant have been attracted away, and the business can't be done, so it is better to go and see who is making trouble outside.
As soon as the middle of the day arrived, the group of lion dancers on Suzaku Street outside the Yuehong Mansion suddenly shouted loudly and neatly, and the golden lion danced, and then the team that followed began to play and sing.
The lion dance in front opens the way, and the music in the back is exciting, and as soon as this music is played, there are people who know how to exclaim in surprise.
"What kind of tone is this, and why is it so strange and so exciting?"
As soon as this person's voice fell, a rough and loud voice immediately sounded in the singing team.
"The big river flows eastward! The stars in the sky rub the Big Dipper!"
As soon as this voice fell, more than a dozen big men in the team shouted, "Hey, hey~ Participate in Beidou Wow~ A bowl of wine at the friend of life and death~"
The leading man then sang: "Let's go, wow, you have me, you have everything!"
It was another group of low and mighty cheers, "Hey, hey~ all have wow~ no turning back in the water and fire~"
Whether the people in Shengjing City are high-ranking nobles or low-ranking people, it is the first time to listen to such a strange and surging tune that people can't help but hum behind.
The lyrics like the people talking, the catchy tune, the rough and heroic music and singing, seem to make people's hearts churn and excitement in an instant.
There were more and more people on the street, and they all craned their necks to see what was going on.
Someone at the front shouted: "The lion dance team is moving, moving, everyone let go, let go!"
In the midst of the crowd, some people asked, "What is this for? Why is it so lively?"
"We don't know, but lo and behold, the team is moving forward, and we're going to take a look. ”
A middle-aged man beside him interjected, "Huh, this team seems to be heading towards the northwest platform, could it be that the wooden platform that was erected a few days ago was made by this group of people?"
The lyrics of the song are simple, and there are only two short paragraphs, but the melody is impassioned and majestic, and the men in these teams only repeated it once or twice, and soon many people who followed behind learned it.
The leading man in the team sang again: "When the road is uneven, I roar wow, when it is time to make a move, I will shoot wow, and I will break into Kyushu in a hurry!"
Without the other men in the team agreeing, the people automatically agreed: "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey." ”
Such a peculiar tone and majestic song were about to spread all over the street at once, and such catchy sentences that even innocent children learned to run behind the lion dance team, echoing and shouting.
With such a lion dance and singing, soon the spacious Suzaku Street was crowded and impassable.
"Look, the lion dance team has finally stopped!"
Sure enough, the lion dance team came to a wooden platform that had been erected a long time ago. Afterwards, the lion dance climbed onto the wooden platform, attracting the admiration of the onlookers.
At this time, the singing and the sound of gongs and drums finally stopped.
At the last moment when the curtain came down on the singing and the sound of gongs and drums, a huge red banner was spit out from the lion's head raised high.
