Chapter 48 The sixteenth full moon welcomes female guests
Chun'er was waiting for the guests at the door when she suddenly saw the Qin family's carriage coming far away, taking small steps and smiling. Mrs. Qin, dressed in a long purple mopping skirt, golden satin back and white jacket, smiled and helped the girl's hand to get out of the car.
Chun'er bowed quickly, stroked Mrs. Qin, and said with a smile, "Grandma's equipment is really beautiful. I'm afraid she can't beat her limelight."
Mrs Qin nodded her forehead, "What a clever girl, is it taught by your wife?"
"Chun'er will flatter and only tell the truth. Mrs. Qin, please come inside quickly. Madam is talking about picking you up in the back!" Chun'er smiled and took her to the female guest's wing.
Mrs Qin's footsteps paused, called the five stout women behind her and pointed to the position of the kitchen. "They are good cooks at home, specially sent to your wife to help them."
Chun'er quickly thanked Mrs. Qin and called the little man to lead the way. Before leaving, Mrs. Qin ordered several chefs, "Go to the kitchen to help, and be careful."
Entering the door is the rich fragrance of magnolia flowers, and all kinds of delicate chrysanthemums, oleander peaches, bottle plums, magnolia flowers, purple and red spring. Mrs. Qin nodded with satisfaction.
As soon as I sat down, I saw Ruoshan, dressed in a colorful satin brocade skirt and a long pink gold silk jacket. She couldn't take a breath and hurriedly bowed: "The godmother came so early." Mrs. Qin brushed the sweat off her forehead with a veil, "Why are you running so fast? Banquets are all about servants, so you just sit down and your wife's job. By the way, where's your old lady!"
It's okay not to mention her. As soon as she mentioned it, her brain suddenly hurts. What she just said was good, let her come out to help greet the guests. She really went to invite her, but her timid hands and feet trembled and said that she couldn't get sick.
Seeing Ruo Ying's eyebrows tightened, Mrs. Qin could also guess seven or eight points and comforted with a smile: "Don't worry, isn't your godmother also half an old man? Is it okay for the godmother to help you receive guests?" Ruo Yan squeezed her lips and smiled, "I know that the godmother loves me."
The mother and daughter had just talked for a while, and there was a message in front of them. Wang Yulan and Shi Qingzhu came, and Ruo Yan hurried out to greet each other.
When Shi Qingzhu learned that the old man in Liangmu's family was there, he asked Wang Yulan to take Su Jin from home and send it to Dai and Liang's father. If you know their kindness, you won't refuse, and let Qiu'er take the young couple to give gifts.
It was the first time in Dai's life that he had touched such a soft material. He was so happy that he wrinkled his face and praised that Yulan was a loving and sensible person. He only hated that he had not given birth to another son, otherwise he would have married her.
Fortunately, Shi Qingzhu was taken down to drink tea by Liang Mu, but it also made Yulan blush and stared at the maid Qiuer around her. Qiu'er, a very smart person, turned around and took the door and called Wang Yulan, "Madam, my wife asked you to help!"
Wang Yulan got up with a smile and didn't wait for Dai to stay. She ran out and took a breath at the door. "If there is such a village mother-in-law, she is full of fun, which is better than my mother Yecha."
Qiu'er knows the bitterness in it, "There are many funny things! But it can make my wife cry." Yulan moved a plum branch in front of her, and her face became colder and colder: "She bullied your wife?"
"Alas... it's hard to say!" Qiu'er sighed angrily, "Let's talk about this one!" In the shameful days, the old lady's cat was in the house and said nothing to stay in the female guest's room, causing Mrs. Qin to welcome guests there!"
Wang Yulan felt that her mother-in-law and her mother-in-law were incomparable. She looked at Qiuer with a smile and said, "Your old lady is from a village. Be more responsible. Don't lose the face of your master. Besides, she won't live for a few days."
Qiu'er nodded sensatively, "What Madam said is very true." The two happened to meet Ruoying while talking to each other, but Ruoying pulled her face: "Your master and servant are really interesting. They are so busy that they don't see you come to take care of them."
Wang Yulan hurriedly blessed her, "Good sister, my sister knows that she is wrong. What can I do for you? I'll go right away."
Ruoyan saw her appearance, came forward with a bad smile and gently squeezed her waist. "I'm fat again, isn't it..." Before she could say it, Yulan pushed her back: "When my husband comes out with a son, your family will have a daughter in the future."
"Go!" Ruozhu blushed by her, which made the girl around her laugh and hurriedly pulled the two ladies to the backyard. At this time, Mrs. Qin was greeting these seven ladies alone.
When Ruo and Yulan entered the female guest room in the backyard, the room was full of warbler choking, and the color was beautiful like countless flower butterflies, swaying and dazzling in the flowers. Yulan slapped and smiled, "As soon as I entered the room, I thought I had met the seven fairies!"
Mrs Qin looked at them and laughed, "Don't mention that except for me, the Queen Mother, she is really the seventh fairy."
He Shi, the county magistrate's wife, hurriedly got up and pointed to Ruo Yan and Wang Yulan: "We are indeed seven people, so what are Lan's sister and Wang sister?" Yulan patted her chest and introduced herself: "I'm an iron-mouthed magpie. If you are the cow, help everyone have fun together."
As soon as the ladies heard this, they burst into laughter. Among them, Chen, who was younger, was enthusiastic. Yulan sat down. "Just now, there were not enough manpower, three were missing and one. Now it's enough. Why don't you play back quickly, or you will be anxious to make Aunt Qin."
Hearing what she said, Mrs. Qin really patted her thighs, "No, Yulan, sit at this table quickly and count with me. If you are a sister, your hands stink." As soon as Wang Yulan heard that she was asked to go to the table, she immediately looked bitter. If her hands were stinky, she was better than her, but her aunt greeted her, and she had to rush her hard scalp and was unwilling to go to the table.
Seeing that they were happy, Ruoyu was also full of joy, leaving Chun'er and Xia'er, each with two little girls to serve them wholeheartedly, and told them not to neglect the fruit and tea. Turn around and look at several male guests outside.
There are not many male guests this time, only Mrs. Qin's husband Shi Jingchun, Lin Bai, Shi Qingzhu, and the young owner of the Chen family's pawnshop, and the Bai shopkeeper of the Bai family's pharmacy. Liang Mu asked Liangtian to come out to accompany him and invited them to chat in the main hall.
If you enter the main hall, you will see that they are chatting about something, and you will be embarrassed to disturb them, so she will be a blessing from afar. The elder doesn't have to get up, and only one young man will thank you back with a fist. Looking around, she didn't see Lin Bai and Shi Jingchun. Ruoyu quickly glanced at Liang Mu with her eyes, and Liang Mu's fingers pointed to the wing room.
She immediately retreated to the wing room. Lin Bai was playing chess with Shi Jingchun. Shi Jingchun's chess quality was extremely poor. He took three steps and two steps to regret, which made Lin Bai shake his head constantly. If the time for Yu went was just right, Lin Bai wanted to get out. Shi Jingchun asked him to quickly pull his sleeve. "Today Your sister is busy. We can't help her, but we can't bother her.
Shi Jingchun has always been a child's heart and a little moody. If you don't dare to offend him, he laughed and said, "What Dad said is very true. My daughter came here to ask Dad and brother what they want to eat? I'll send it here."
Lin Bai held his chin and shook his head. It seemed that it was really boring. Shi Jingchun thought for a moment and said, "That egg tart is quite good. Just a few new baked and fragrant ones." Ruoyan responded with a smile and looked at Lin Bai happily: "I'm here to relieve my boredom with my father."
After saying that, he smiled and turned around and escaped. He only felt that there was a poisonous eye behind him, and he couldn't wait to penetrate himself. He was so scared that he ran away even more with oil on the soles of his feet. After a while, Zi Liangfeng came with the people of the Quyi Hall.
The big team had to prepare before going on stage. Liangfeng was worried that his wife and men would be idle, so he picked up a few girls with vivid faces and let Liangtian take them into the male guest hall to sing a small song dancer.
Men are not lustful, unless they are saints. After a while, their talkative voices are replaced by songs, and they are silently cheering from time to time. After singing for a while, a piano player came up. The youngest daughter's family was red and white-faced, and she was a touching and attractive person.
For a moment, the fascinated person was dazzled, breathed, and was very intoxicated. However, Liangmu's heart and feet are worn out. He is thinking about his wife. He is busy and tired behind him. He wants to help him, but he is afraid of losing his etiquette. His bitter face is ugly, and he has to greet all the male guests with a smile. He is really helpless.
After dealing with the front hall, Liangfeng hurriedly went to the backyard. Those ladies were rubbing tea and drinking dried fruits. Seeing her coming back, they quickly asked about those songs.
Liangfeng smiled mysteriously and answered the question: "It's tiring to play this thing. Why don't you call in a storyteller and tell two paragraphs?"
The mother of the Bai family is upset. Hearing the joke, she pushed the card in her hand, and the girl behind her hurried forward to rub/rub her shoulders to dissolve. "It's still the good aunt who knows what I'm thinking. It's too tired not to play. Listen to the joke." Several other people looked at me, and I looked at you with a smile and nodded.
He and Qin, who just won Zhenghuan, looked at Liangfeng, "We don't care. If the joke is not good, we have to compensate us for the money."
Liang Fengxiang pretended to be shocked, but covered his mouth and smiled secretly: "Do you want any money? Do you want a son?"
He laughed and said, "I have long wanted to tell you that I want your lovely baby, but today you said it. If you don't give it, I won't follow you."
"Good to say! When you have heard enough of the music, you can take it with you. Liangfeng said it happily. Unexpectedly, when Liangqiu learned that his mother was coming back, he rushed over and heard this sentence without end, which made people trembling and ran away.
After a while, the two maids held a screen in their hands and divided the room into two halves. The ladies sat inside, and the jokes set up a table outside. Liangfeng introduced to several ladies: "This joke is a famous actor in the town. He has been wrapped up by the flower museum all year round, and it is easy not to go out of the field. If it hadn't been for the large number of beautiful ladies in the town today, he might not have come!"
The funny words came out of Liangfeng's serious mouth and almost laughed off their chins. Qin slapped her fiercely and looked at the other side of the screen, "For good thing, the storyteller didn't come, otherwise the rumor will spread out, and the robbers won't come to rob people!" As soon as he said this, the laughing ladies stroked their stomachs.
As I was laughing, I heard a sound of wood behind the screen. Everyone held their breath and only heard the soft voice at the end, "I don't know what do you want to hear?"
Liangfeng turned her head and looked at everyone and shouted, "If you want to hear anything, just say it. Don't be polite." Those ladies were laughing just now. They really talked to a strange man and suddenly withered. Look at me, I don't think you have an idea.
He took a sip of flower tea and said, "Why don't you have fun first, and then talk about it?" Everyone nodded in agreement. Hearing the sound of the wood, he opened the scene.
said that Wushan has a person who specializes in various magical secret recipes. Many people gathered around and bought three secret recipes with 300 copper coins: the first is how to make a fortune; the second is how to drink without getting drunk; and the third is how to break the roots of lice on the body.
The seller picked up these three secret recipes, wrapped them layer by layer, carefully gave them to the buyer, and told him, "This method is very effective, but don't spread it." The buyer took it home and opened it. The first one said, "Diligent and thrifty." The second article reads: "Early break up." The third article says: "Frely catch it."
As soon as he finished speaking, after listening to the screen, there was a delicate and muffled laugh. Liang Feng saw that the effect was good, and gestured the joke again, and then there was a funny story.
Once upon a time, there was a man who liked to bite and chew words. One night, he was stinged by a scorpion and shook his head and shouted, "A good wife, a quick-burning silver candle, your husband was attacked by a poisonous insect.
My wife can't understand. He also said, "I am like a pipa, thinking deeply about the steel cone. Call a good wife and make a light."
My wife still doesn't understand. The man couldn't stand the pain and roared, "Old lady, hurry up, the lamp, the scorpion has stung me."
As soon as he heard the man's heartbreaking shouting, there was a burst of laughter after listening to the screen. As the so-called smile, ten years younger, Liangfeng nodded with great satisfaction.
The front hall is arranged by Liang Mu and Liang Feng to take care of her. Ruoyu is busy in the kitchen. Some dishes are afraid that they can't be controlled well, so they have to do it by themselves. The girls quickly took a big skirt to prevent her from being stained with oil and set them up for her.
A few hours have been prepared, and the dishes are finally ready. Eight steamed steamed sea bass, steamed pork ribs, steamed eggs with minced meat, steamed pork with preserved vegetables, steamed chicken with white chopped vegetables, five-spice steamed duck feet and steamed buns, and roasted wheat.
Six roasts are braised lamb collarbone meat, braised beef tendons, braised pumpkin meatballs, etc... seven cold salad, cold melon and lotus root, stir-fried green vegetables, fruit plum meat, cold skin enoki mushroom, rosemary drunk shrimp, etc.
Caiyun brought the fruit wine, the aged daughter red, and Su Jiang aged all kinds of wine and colors for her to review. If you are not interested in wine and don't know how to do it, she will order everyone to carry it over.
Ruoyan also followed him to the front hall. The color screen in the hall was staggered, and the tables and chairs were well arranged. The men and women were divided into four tables, subject to flowers. The table covered with magnolia flowers was the female guest table, and the plum blossom was the male guest table, which was appropriate.
I just feel that something is missing. Ruo Yan suddenly pats her forehead, but it is not lacking. Dai and Liang's father, who are the owners of the family, are still playing in the house! Busy trot to invite.
However, Dai said nothing and refused to come out. He looked like he couldn't see the sky, so he almost held the door frame and didn't move. The old lady in this family didn't go to the table. Who dares to eat? If she couldn't stand it, she had to ask Liang Mu to invite her.
In the end, when Liang's father split his head and scolded, Dai pulled his face and slowly sat in the right position with trembling hands and feet. If she personally invited all the ladies who were fascinated by the book, Liang Mu entertained the male guest to enter the table first.
As soon as the ladies sat down, they passed on to others to cook. The husbands who were just laughing and playing were attracted by the exquisite and beautiful and colorful dishes. They suddenly marveled and turned to ask Ruo Wan for advice. Seeing that they liked it, Ruo Ying was even more meticulous. Chen and Guo were worried that they could not remember, so they quickly asked the girls around them to get the pen and ink, and couldn't wait to write them all down.
Ruoyan suppressed the chaotic scene and said with a smile, "Everyone, please enter the table first. Let the chef write down the ingredients, ingredients and heat later. Is it okay for each lady?" That's a good idea. The ladies all smiled sweetly and nodded with satisfaction.
Dai sat upright and no one asked questions. It was better to shout loudly, which made Ruoyu very regret that she specifically told her in the morning that the county magistrate's wife would come to dinner, and her mother should accompany her.
Seeing that her mother was so timid, Liangfeng was also in a bad mood. He thanked each other with wine. She was busy feeding Chen's cloth dishes. She was busy sending them to Dai's mouth, which made everyone think that Dai was crazy and couldn't help but pay some attention to Ruo Ying.
It was inexplicable. Fortunately, Mrs. Qin was shrewd, which solved her embarrassment, toasted and ordered a wine order. This meal was full of smiles. Finally, when everyone finished eating, Ruoyu slowly put down the chopsticks in her hand and then went to see how the greenhouse was built outside.
It's really not good. I thought it would be warmer at noon, so I didn't prepare the greenhouse. As a result, after noon, the air was still cold, and I was worried that it would freeze to these noble masters. If Yan resolutely set up a greenhouse in the courtyard and put it in the stove for heating, and there was a soft quilt on the chair, she almost moved a bed over.
The practitioner on the stage has retired. Seeing that the people off the stage are in place, he handed over the music album and asked which one to sing. She was old but respected and took power as the noble. Ruo Ying handed over the song book to He's hands. She was happy to see Ruo Ying so high, but she could not mess up the rules and handed it over to Qin and Dai.
Dai was so scared that she had nothing to say. Liangfeng was worried that she would make a fool of herself if she couldn't read, so she sent the song book to Qin's hand, "Mrs. Qin, come first."
Mrs. Qin nodded with a smile, glanced at Ruo Ying, put the song book in her hand between her and Dai, and whispered softly, "This is a daughter-in-law who respects her mother-in-law and mother-in-law. What do you say?"
She reads, but she also knew that Qin was praising her and quickly pushed Mrs. Qin, "In my village, I have seen any good plays there. I'm the master of my in-laws." Mrs. Qin nodded with a smile and clicked "Phoenix Returns to the Nest".
The daughter's family liked to hear it, and everyone applauded. The men over there were not energetic and lamented that it was not as good as those who sang small songs and danced gorgeously just now! The insider looked at the doorway, and the layman watched the bustle. He saw several beautiful little women on the stage, swinging their sleeves and playing with their waists. Sometimes they laughed lightly like flying butterflies, and sometimes they cried bitterly and choked, so sad.
Hearing Ruoyu felt a pain in the forehead, she found an excuse to go down, called the landlord of the Quyi class and asked, "Don't you have any unique skills here?"
