Chapter 348: The Banquet
Chapter 348
Her biological mother, Lin, was made by the mother-in-law of the Wang family of her original husband to marry her father, and she already had a pair of children before she got married, and she was left in the Wang family.
The Wang family's family is not very good.
That year, her biological mother's original husband was seriously ill and owed a lot of debts for medicine, and in the end she didn't keep that life, in order to repay the debt, her biological mother's mother-in-law in the Wang family gave her father the Lin family, which was quite good, to make a small child, and got thirty taels of silver to pay off the debt.
The pair of children who were not very sensible were left in the Wang family because they were the descendants of the Wang family.
She remembered that the Lin family was still telling her at the end that she would go back and see if she had the opportunity, and if she had the ability, she would pull her brother and sister, and when she was alive, she mentioned more than once how similar she was to her sister who stayed in the Wang family when she was a child.
Don't......
This thought hit my heart, and I couldn't suppress it anymore.
A few days ago, someone once sent her a letter of silver to help her provide convenience at the right time, but she refused because she was afraid of the children of the family, could it be that the person found her mother's daughter who stayed in the Wang family!
"Miss Yaoqin, the slave maid has something to do and wants to return to Fang Fujin...... As soon as she thought of this, she couldn't hold it steady anymore, knelt down next to the screen, and greeted in a low voice.
Hush...... Yaoqin looked back when she heard the sound, and made a silent gesture at her, signaling her to wait patiently.
Just as Yaoqin was thinking about how to talk to Erfu, Erfu had already turned her head with a smile, "Who wants to talk to me?"
"It's Mama Shen who said she has something to tell you!" Yaoqin replied with a bow.
"Then it's troublesome for the fourth master to take care of it first!" Erfu said and beckoned the guzheng standing in the corner of the wall, and walked towards the west with Yaoqin.
Nishiji-ma-ri. Mama Shen is living like a year, and she only feels that every minute is a kind of torment.
Before Erfu could walk to Luohan's bed and sit down, she couldn't wait to kneel beside Erfu's lap. He kowtowed again and again, and whispered, "Slave and maid, ......"
Mama Shen tried her best to explain the life of her biological mother Lin, and told all the guesses she had pondered for several circles, blinking her red and swollen eyes and looking at Erfu, just waiting for Erfu to give her a good time, this kind of torment was too unbearable.
The news came too suddenly, and Rao Shierfu was already a little mentally prepared. Still stunned, she forgot for a while that Mama Shen was still holding her thigh, and got up and walked to the inner room. And Mama Shen also forgot about Sakelve's thighs because she was too nervous, and suddenly dragged Erfu, who wanted to go to the inner room to talk to the fourth master about things, to the ground.
Hiss......
Before Erfu could make any protective moves, the little pink face was slapped on the palace carpet, and two lines of sinuous nosebleeds slowly flowed. A few pieces of scarlet were left on the snow-white palace carpet.
The robot stiffened and turned around. Erfu wanted to cry without tears and looked at the fourth master who was approaching after hearing the sound, and shed two lines of noodle tears.
"Why are you so careless!" helped Erfu, who was tired of water waves, to sit on the Luohan bed again, and the fourth master took the warm handkerchief sent by Yaoqin, carefully wiped the blood under her nose, and nagged very distressedly, and at the same time did not forget to throw a cruel eye knife to the perpetrator Shen Mama.
Huh......
Erfu pulled the corners of her mouth in embarrassment, and changed the topic to talk about the news that Mama Shen had just provided, but the thick nasal voice made her very unaccustomed. pinched the handkerchief again and again to blow his nose, and insisted on hurting the nose he had just injured again. Only then did she resign herself to Mama Shen to the fourth master for questioning, and asked Yaoqin to accompany her to the inner room to rub the medicine.
......
One night, Erf was woken up again and again by the cries of babies and nightmares.
Sitting in front of the dressing table in the morning, she looked at herself with a blue face in the bronze mirror, and asked Yaoqin to take out bottles and cans of official powder that she had never used before with a sad face.
Flaming red lips, white skin is better than snow......
Looking at her completely different self in the bronze mirror, Erf made a series of strange elf expressions with some novelty, temporarily forgetting the thrilling and possible murderer in the shadows that she had encountered yesterday.
At noon, Su Peisheng and Yaoqin cooperated to arrange all the matters of the banquet.
Erfu specifically asked the fourth master not to attend today, and instructed Mama Sun and Mama Fu, who had just entered the house, to cooperate with Mama Jin and Mama Shen, who had not yet washed themselves, to take care of Jiu'er and Xiao Jiu carefully, and then changed into a rather flamboyant rose-red placket suit, with arrow sleeves and black hook gold-rimmed middle clothes that appeared in the Lanyue Building in front of the West Garden stage.
Lanyue has five rooms on the floor, facing the newly built stage, which is a good place for banquets.
At the banquet, in addition to Erfu's top boss Wulanala clan, whether it was Wu Gege, who was waiting to give birth, or Niu Hulu, who had not yet been confined, was invited to Lanyue Tower one by one by the rough envoys she arranged, showing the domineering side of her favorite concubine.
At this time, seeing her appear in front of people in such a glamorous outfit, those resentful little eyes, Erfu suspected that if they didn't still have such a thing as reason, eighty percent of them would have rushed forward and tore her alive.
"Sister Guerjia, you come back, we haven't gone to congratulate you on the birth of a dragon and phoenix fetus, you invite us to come over for a banquet, we really feel hot on our faces!" Wu Gege held his big belly, his face was full of smugness that he couldn't hide, and said sharply.
"What's so embarrassing about this, if you feel embarrassed, you might as well make up for a congratulatory gift!" Erph waved her hand and motioned for her to sit down quickly, and turned a small corner with some trepidation, until she sat down on the top of the Taishi's chair, and then laughed and joked slowly.
After speaking, he also asked about Wu Gege's birth date with concern, and said some soup-like experience value Tang, and then warmly beckoned the black-faced Li to take a seat.
Several palace maids put steaming delicacies on the large round table, and then they stood beside Erfu and the others.
"Speaking of which, I'm the laziest person ever!
On weekdays, I don't have much contact with the sisters, but this time I took this opportunity to invite the sisters to be lively and lively. The master also specially invited the famous corner of the Desheng class to come into the house to cheer us up!" Erfu got up and picked up the wine cup full of fruit wine, and smiled very enthusiastically.
"It's still a big face for side Fujin!
Let's have to have a few folds, otherwise we won't live up to the good intentions of the master!" Although the hall lit a charcoal basin and a floor dragon to keep warm, but she still felt uncomfortable, and it happened that Erfu was carrying a wine glass, although she was not happy, but she still had to get up and cooperate.
Erfu smiled tactfully, did not say anything, turned around and beckoned Yaoqin to come forward and pour wine for Li and the others one by one.
A glass of wine too. Erff took the lead in moving her chopsticks.
"Yesterday, the little boy in my yard found some good ingredients, and a lot of medicinal herbs were added to this snake soup. That's the most nourishing thing, sisters, don't be kind!" Erph chewed on a piece of chicken that had been fried to a golden brown, drank another glass of wine to herself, and raised her finger to the fine white porcelain stew pot that had just been served. Hurriedly raised his voice to introduce. even stepped over several female dependents, and the palace maid who had already arranged for the cloth vegetables to serve a bowl for them and put it in front of their respective eyes.
The snake soup is made of ordinary cauliflower snakes, and a lot of medicinal materials are added to it, the nourishment is true, but the taste is not very good, and it does not conform to the dietary taste of the ladies in the house, and Erfu is a little vague that it is a good thing to find yesterday, so the person who is a thief naturally feels uncomfortable. This is exactly what Erf arranged for this feast.
As she spoke, Erph looked around at the ladies present. Looking at the disgusted eyes of several people, I was a little unsure of who was doing it for a while.
"This snake soup is nourishing, but the concubine has always been afraid of these long insects, just thinking about it, I feel goosebumps all over my body, so let it be given to other sisters who like it!"
"The concubine still has a body, and the imperial doctor told the concubine not to eat those supplements that are not available, so there is no need for it!" Wu Gege followed, smiled and asked the palace maid to remove the snake soup, and then turned his head to look at the red braised lion's head.
On the contrary, Niu Hulu didn't speak, but just asked people to add some small condiments to it, and they used it with relish.
A snake soup did not detect the slightest suspicion, but caused Delve to think of the little green snake that zigzag yesterday, and the whole person was not very comfortable, which made her have a sense of frustration that stealing chickens and rice.
However, Erfu is a person with a strong inner world, and he quickly sorted out his mood, and only came to collect the congratulatory gifts and baptismal gifts that Li and others deliberately owed.
Erf, who let go of the temptation, was much more relaxed, smiling and eating delicious food, and from time to time said a few words to adjust the atmosphere, but maintained the atmosphere at a good height, until the three rounds of wine here, and the compact gongs and drums sounded on the stage, she let people set up tables, chairs, and refreshments in the hugging building, and led a group of women to move.
"This Desheng class is one of the best troupes in Beijing, whether it is Dao Ma Dan, Lao Sheng, or Xiao Sheng, they all have a good voice, especially the recent Tsing Yi named Lingrong, that figure has nothing to choose!"
Erfu looked at the completely unfamiliar play cards, and took the lead in ordering a relatively familiar "Su San Qi Solution", and handed over the play cards in his hand to Li and the others, and asked them to order the play separately.
On the stage, Su San's actor is a woman with a good face and a delicate figure, although she is wearing a not gorgeous costume, but it is still difficult to hide her charming appearance, and her voice is as clear as a yellow warbler out of the valley.
The miserable and sad music, combined with her tearful and stubborn little eyes, coupled with the poignant singing, immediately attracted Erfu, who couldn't understand this kind of classical opera.
"Sure enough, it's Xiao Susan!" Just as Erfu could listen attentively, Niu Hulu clapped his hands and shouted.
On the stage, Su San's actor Wan'er's life experience is as pitiful as Su San in the play, she was bought into a pickled land by her stepmother, went around for a few years, and finally found a good person to redeem herself, but she didn't want that person to be a scumbag who likes the new and hates the old, so she soon ran to the back of her mind, and was sold to a foot merchant as a concubine by her housewife.
It's just that the fortune of the businessman was not very good, and he was involved in a lawsuit, so he felt that he was brought down by Wan'er, so he exchanged half of her for two taels of silver for wine, and threw her into the Desheng class who was still a small theater troupe.
"......" Erph rolled her eyes in disgust and interrupted her listening to the play, and Niu Hulu withdrew her attention.
The women of this era are like duckweed without roots, especially this kind of woman who is sold as a lowly person, Wan'er can become a famous girl on the stage from serving tea and water, which is already a blessing in misfortune.
She is not a good person who has no sympathy, looking at the confidence in Wan'er's gestures, she feels that Wan'er has found a stage that belongs to her, and she doesn't need the sympathy and pity of their people at all.
Sure enough, the song was over.
Niu Hulu wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes and opened his mouth, "The girl is so talented, it's really aggrieved to be in such a troupe, it's better to stay in our house and serve, you can also get rid of your cheap status, and no longer worry about your future life!"
"The noble man is merciful, the slave never dares to accept it, the class master has the grace of knowing the slave, although the slave is only a female streamer, but also understands the truth of the grace of the dripping water, so please forgive the noble, the slave once again thank the nobleman for appreciation!" Wan'er flicked her sleeves, knelt straight on the stage, and kowtowed and replied.
"Forget it, I just want to give you a good future, since you don't want to, then I can't force you!" Niu Hulu suppressed the anger in his heart, said loudly with a tolerant smile, and then raised his hand and took off a jade bracelet on his wrist and handed it to the little maid, "This jade bracelet is in good condition, and it matches your skin color, so I will give it to you!"
said, without waiting for Wan'er to thank her, he raised his hand and sent her away, and bowed to Li's chin, "That girl really doesn't know what to do!"
Niu Hulu's strange statement finally caught Erf's attention.
From the beginning, Niu Hulu's behavior of soliciting and rewarding seems to be her personal actions, but that person is a little ignorant, and she shouldn't complain to the Li family!
"Everyone has their own ambitions, you are too kind-hearted!" Li Shi noticed Erfu's somewhat puzzled eyes, raised his hand indifferently, and said with a smile.
The words fell, and another scene had already started on the stage.
Lee's order was a play "The Drunken Concubine".
The gorgeous Yang Guifei really amazed everyone as soon as she appeared, one more point is fat, one point less is thin, the phoenix eyes are as bright as the moon, and a smile is fascinating, with a slight staggering step, the round beads on the phoenix crown tremble, showing the beauty of her feminine grace.
Colliers's flattering style, which was also played by the harlequin, is really worthy of the famous work of the Desheng class.
......
At the same time, another scene of the concubine getting drunk was staged in the background. (To be continued......)
