Chapter 160: The Banquet
"Girl, this is strange!" said Snow Goose, with her eyes wide open, and she said exaggeratedly. "I just played at Xiaoli's place, and Ah Ling ran over and said that Mrs. Xue was going to hold a big banquet tomorrow, and now all the house slaves of the Xue family have been mobilized, and even those shopkeepers who usually don't easily enter the house have also been called in by Mrs. Xue. It is said that he commanded that all those strange and precious good things should be brought in. ”
"Why is this?" Lin Daiyu was a little puzzled, since the mother and daughter of the Xue family came to the Jia family, they have been very high-profile to show off their financial resources, but it is still rare to think that such an act of an upstart is still rare.
"It is said that it is because Mrs. Xue has a new daughter, and this girl doesn't know who the character is, Mrs. Xue is so excited. ”
"Okay, let's not talk about it anymore, anyway, we'll find out tomorrow whoever it is. And Miss's bird's nest pear soup should be good, you go to the kitchen to take a look, these days Miss's cough has come out again, but no one takes it seriously. ”
"Got it, Sister Zijuan!" After speaking, he made a grimace at Zijuan before saying goodbye to Daiyu.
"You're not someone who doesn't know her, so why bother talking about her. ”
"Miss, there are no useful people around you, and the snow geese are still young, so it's time to teach them. Daiyu shook her head, in her previous life, she was brought back from Jiangnan, and she also relied on her very much, and she was by her side every day, but she was subordinate to the purple juan, after all, the purple juan was given by the elders. However, it was because of the snow goose that Brother Bao didn't recognize that the woman in the red wedding dress was not himself, and Daiyu also knew that she didn't dare to judge herself if she gave the snow goose a hundred guts, but at that time she was terminally ill, and her grandmother was also living a life, and the general trend in the house was gone, so she could only let them practice.
If you want to talk about Sister Bao, Daiyu doesn't know what attitude she should use to treat her. Daiyu is naturally resentful, but so what, as a woman, she can't help herself. Daiyu also clearly looked at the ambition in Sister Bao's eyes, she was not the kind of woman who stopped at Houmen.
No matter when and where, Daiyu always sees so clearly, so she is also the most painful. It's just that in this life, she never wants to live like Xiangbei herself, even if she abandons Brother Bao, so what, hasn't she already given up once in her previous life. The tears that should be shed and the heart that should be painful have been returned, and the current Daiyu is a brand new one in this life, and Daiyu who has not yet fallen in love with Brother Bao.
Daiyu let go of her tangled thoughts, turned the pages of the poetry book in her hand, and slowly calmed down in her heart.
"What? You said that my sister took in a goddaughter over there, and that goddaughter is said to be an apprentice of the gods?" Mrs. Wang's side has more complete information than Daiyu's side.
"Yes, madam," Zhou Rui's family stepped forward to tell Mrs. Wang. "Madam, I also heard that the girl turned out to be Miss Bao's maid, and she has been in Jinling, and she only came here today. Moreover, I also asked the maid in Miss Bao's yard, and it is said that this girl is indeed a bit of a miracle, and she can actually conjure up a water mass out of thin air. ”
"Well, it's true when I think about it, holding my sister is also considered to be a good creation, not to mention the children, and the huge family business, the family wealth, the daughter is smart and smart, and the son is stupid, but he really loves his mother and sister. When her husband was there, she was famous for respecting each other, and she didn't even have a quarrel, but now that her husband is dead, there is no backer, and there is a fairy apprentice who is her goddaughter. This kind of blessing is also rare in the world. ”
Zhou Ruijia looked at Mrs. Wang's expression, and said thoughtfully: "If you want to say that you are blessed, how can anyone in this whole house compare with you? Although the master has the people in the small courtyard, but in the end he still respects his wife, and the things that person uses are not even qualified to give his wife a look, not to mention that the daughter of the life seems to have fun in front of his wife every day, and the little one who is like a frozen cat, where is the natural noble atmosphere of our second master." Every day is not also a child, the eldest girl is waiting to be a mother in her skills, and the news is that it is very loved by the emperor and queen, and it is not far away to think of a good life. And my second master, the second master, there is a second master in this mansion who is comparable to our second master, not to mention the young master, what kind of character is that, others don't know, don't we know?"
After these words, Mrs. Wang's originally expressionless face always loosened, "Eh, what did I say to attract you so much!
"Hehe, if my wife is happy to hear it, she will reward me with a bowl of ice to eat, that sweet taste, the slave maid thinks very much. ”
"It turned out that I was greedy, and I wanted to come to me to be funny as before. ”
"Hehe, ma'am, just say if you want to!
"Come on, you go down quickly, don't disturb my purity!"
So as long as there are some ears and eyes in the house, Aunt Xue knows the big thing of her daughter. Isn't it a big deal, this is going to be a banquet, it's definitely not the ordinary kind of talk, but very serious, if there is a chance in the future, it will be recorded in the clan.
And what is Bai Lu doing now? Because Bai Lu really has a headache for the upcoming dinner, the key thing is that she can't eat ordinary food.
When Bai Lu was there Yu Shenpo, he didn't have many scruples, basically he was what he should be, but Bai Lu didn't dare to do this in the Jia family, the fundamental reason is because the people of the Jia family seem to have a lot of eyes and are extremely shrewd, but they are all confused worms, otherwise they would not have finally coaxed the oil and changed from the original noble family to civilians.
Bai Lu is not afraid of anything else, just afraid of which people have no brains, thinking that they can control themselves and make themselves a means for them to be promoted and obtain glory and wealth.
It seems that he still has to use some means, and sure enough, these big families are not easy to treat, and they can only let the mother and daughter of the Xue family live in the Jia family before their name breaks out.
Bai Lu pondered for a long time, and finally decided to open a store at the beginning of this year that specializes in predicting good luck and bad luck and knowing good and bad fortunes, so that he can break out of his name as soon as possible.
After coming up with a countermeasure, Bai Lu's legs were cultivated with peace of mind, because there was a family banquet next, so Bai Lu did not dare to practice the exercises, but just sat and meditated.
"White girl, Madame invites you to come and dine. Bihe's soft voice came from outside the door, saying that Bai Lu had not seen any of Bai Lu's previous acquaintances in the Xue family after coming to the capital for so long, Bai Bing and Baishuang's two sisters Bai Lu still missed a little, and Bai Lu, the sister-in-law of Guo who taught her naked son, also missed it, after all, in the days when she just became Bai Lu, Bai Lu's heart was not so firm to accept everything from Bai Lu, and forgot those hundreds of years of memories and identity. Without a physical body, living in another world, Bai Lu is like a duckweed without roots, and there is a strong sense of unease. And those favors and help from strangers made Bai Lu feel a little comforted.
Thanks to the kind people she met along the way, Bai Lu cleaned up her mood and took care of her appearance before Shi Shiran went out. Because of the change of identity, Bai Lu changed into a skirt specially made of two fine satin by Xiang Wu, without the need for exquisite embroidery, according to the already beautiful glow, Bai Lu still has a fresh memory of the beautiful and hearty shopkeeper. It's just that the original cultivation was low and I couldn't detect anything, but now I think that the shopkeeper is also a little different from the temperament of ordinary people, but I don't know if that person is a human or a demon.
The moment Bai Lu appeared out of the door, Bihe almost forgot to breathe, and was stunned for a while before muttering: "Sure enough, he is not a disciple of an immortal, he looks like an immortal!"
Bai Lu shook his head, sure enough, people have to rely on clothes, but their appearance has not changed at all, this is since they decided to go up the road to the top, they naturally have to be tall, so as not to embarrass their master, Yuexian Niangniang.
If you dress poorly, or behave inelegantly, or have something that does not meet the expectations of others, although you are also more beautiful and elegant and talented than ordinary people, but because you are a disciple of the gods, maybe what you do well is what you should be, and you should be the best, and what you do badly is unforgivable, in other words, in modern terms, you will lose fans, and the reason why those faith powers will be given to you is because they fan you. Therefore, for the sake of the power of faith and the name of her immortal apprentice, Bai Lu needs to maintain her excellent and mysterious image in front of outsiders.
Bai Lu learned the way Xue Baochai walked step by step, walked slowly, and also carried the footwork step by step, swaying and swaying. Bai Lu, who walked to the main hall, sighed silently in her heart, sure enough, pretending is not so easy to pretend, and she still has to go back to her grandmother once after today's meal, and she has to tell her grandmother about her decision to open a store.
It's just that I don't know if grandma agrees to help me manage it, after all, grandma is old and has little energy, Xiangwu can, but Xiangwu doesn't know some superficial Taoism like grandma. Although grandma's learning is not the same as Bai Lu's, she is still very good at general fortune-telling, ghost hunting and other things.
Passing through a verandah is the main hall, although the pear incense courtyard is large, it is only a courtyard, and there is only a small garden in the middle, planted with some chrysanthemums and osmanthus in season, exuding the fragrance of the garden.
When Bai Lu arrived, the mother and daughter of the Xue family and Xue Pan had already arrived. Xue Panzheng took a bracelet full of gems to ask Baochai for credit, and although Baochai's face was full of disgust, the warmth revealed in his eyes could not deceive Bai Lu.
"Bai Lu, you are here, come here, this is your eldest brother Xue Pan, it will be good to find him if you have something to do in the future, although he is not a little more successful, but he is looking for some objects, but he still has a little bit of ability. ”
"Have you seen Big Brother?"
"This is the new sister, my sister is really good-looking!"
"What nonsense are you talking about, this is my sister, and you can also say it!" Mrs. Xue hurriedly patted Xue Pan a few times, insisting that he apologize. This Bai Lu can't be offended, and you should pay more attention to what you say on weekdays, otherwise who knows when you will offend her, you must know that the current Bai Lu is the savior of his family.
Xue Pan had long forgotten that the beautiful girl in front of him was the maid he bought back from Renyazi, and he was angry at the beginning when he gave his maid to Baochai for his mother, but in the end it was filial piety, and it was only a temporary heat for Bai Lu's original body Xiangling, so now he didn't know him at all when he saw it in person, and he was still thinking about when he had such a beautiful maid in his own family, why didn't he see it, and he missed it.
"Hello sister, although your brother and I are not successful, but friends still make two or three, when the time comes, if there is anything to help, just look for me, my brother has no two words, Baochai has it, you naturally have it." Xue Pan patted his chest and swore an oath.
Bai Lu nodded funny and saluted him, Xue Baochai also hurriedly got down from Mrs. Xue's arms and saluted Bai Lu, so the family recognition was over.
A few people teased each other a few words, Bai Lu also took a few words from it very adaptively, and a few people became familiar with it, after all, a person who is not very familiar with each other, suddenly became a very close family member, in the end, it is a very challenging thing to challenge emotional intelligence, especially the Xue family still asks Bai Lu. Therefore, except for Xue Pan, the other two were basically a little flattering when they talked to Bai Lu. How could Bai Lu not know, and she was tired.
"Madam, the meal is ready, you can sit down!" Bihe's words ended this extremely embarrassing chat, Bai Lu and Baochai accompanied Mrs. Xue left and right, and walked towards the side hall, that is on weekdays, the place where the mother and daughter of the Xue family eat meals occasionally Xue Pan will come over, and the space in the house is not very large, but it is also very comfortable.
It can be seen that this meal is carefully prepared, even the rare seafood and hairy crabs in the north are available, but unfortunately Bailu can not enjoy it.
"Sister doesn't have an appetite?" Baochai said depressedly as she looked at Bai Lu's rarely used chopsticks.
"Ahem, I'm a cultivator of immortals, I don't eat mortal food, I just need to drink some nectar every day!"
"Wow, this is so amazing, if only I could become an immortal!" Xue Baochai said with some envy.
"That's it, I also want to become a disciple of the immortals, and at that time, I won't be invincible in the capital!"
Bai Lu shook his head: "How can it be so comfortable, you look at the good things on this table, my saliva is flowing all over the ground when I ask, but there is no way, I can't eat it, I can only watch you eat!"
Xue Pan was nibbling on the stewed soft and glutinous braised bear paws, and when he heard Bai Lu's words, he nodded decisively and said: "It seems that it is better to be a mortal" Thinking of his free days and the days after becoming an immortal, Xue Pan's shameful judgment changed.
The people got along very harmoniously, much better than just now.
After dinner, it was not early, and Bai Lu said goodbye to a few people before returning to the room. Set up a simple confusion array in your room to prevent mortals from prying eyes. In the eyes of others, the current Bai Lu is sitting cross-legged in the room and meditating, and the real Bai Lu has already left the wall courtyard of Rongguo Mansion, and is really moving towards the coordinates of Yu Shenpo. , you are lonely, the young lady warms you with a movie
