Everyone went into the main hall and sat down, Wang Xian and his wife sat in the right seat, Zhu Zhanji wanted to hide his identity, and only chose a chair on the right to sit down, and Xianyun and others also sat down in turn. Steward Chen hurriedly beckoned the maid to serve refreshments, and seeing that it was a Hangzhou-style dim sum, Lin Qing'er smiled and said, "It turns out that Beijing also eats the same things as us in Hangzhou." ”

"Sister-in-law's words are wrong, I have lived in Beijing for more than ten years, and I haven't eaten these ......" Zhu Zhanji smiled: "What is this long strip, strange and beautiful?" ”

"It's good that Uncle Zhilu Dao, this is called Osmanthus Tiaotou Cake," Lin Qing'er said with a smile: "But Hangzhou's is a little thicker, this one is a lot thinner, and it looks like a lot." ”

"They did it for you." Wang Xian said a little vaguely: "Finer, one bite at a time, it looks better than our kind of food." ”

"It's really heartfelt." Lin Qing'er praised.

Over there, Zhu Zhanji pinched one and put it in his mouth, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said: "It's delicious, I haven't eaten such a delicious dim sum for a long time" As he spoke, he glanced at Steward Chen and said, "Old Chen, where did you invite the dim sum master, can you still invite it?" ”

"Back to ...... Lord's words. Steward Chen smiled bitterly and said, "This is not made by the pastry master at home, it is ......" said and looked at Wang Xian, I don't know whether to say it or not.

"Is there anything else to keep secret?" Zhu Zhanji said strangely.

"It's the craftsmanship of the little girl," Wang Xian smiled, "I can't think of it, right?" ”

"Scared, unexpected, unexpected." Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "It turns out that she not only knows how to sing, but also has good cooking skills, you really earned it." ”

"Hehe...... Wang Xian smiled very weakly, and all the brothers also laughed gloatingly.

Lin Qing'er's expression was still calm, and after sitting for a while, she got up and apologized to the male guests, and left the main hall surrounded by the female relatives and went to the back. Entering the courtyard of the second entrance, I saw that this was actually a garden, on both sides of which was the verandah, among which was the hall leading to the back house, and there were various sè flower potted plants in the hall, hanging various sè parrots, thrushes and other birds, chirping, a piece of life.

Today, the weather is fine, the windows of the hall have been removed, and the autumn scenery of the south of the Yangtze River in the garden is unobstructed, and the atmosphere of wealth and nobility is ended. "The second brother's house in the capital is really good," Yinling praised: "This poetic and picturesque is the most in line with the second sister-in-law's mind."

"Actually, this house is my favorite," Zhu Zhanji didn't have tea with the male guests in front, followed the female relatives to the back, and whispered: "There are also the decorations in the back, which also took a lot of effort on my part." ”

Yinling chuckled: "I can't imagine that Brother Niu is really unseemly." ”

"Of course, of course, although I am a little darker," Zhu Zhanji boasted to himself: "But qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, everything is jīng tong, and you can communicate more after rì."

"Yes, it's amazing" Yinling praised loudly, and changed the conversation: "It's a pity that I don't know anything, I can barely read a few words." ”

"Oh......" Zhu Zhanji hurriedly changed his words: "Actually, I am also very good at riding shè fists and feet, and I can learn from each other." He felt that Yinling and Lingxiao had such a good relationship, and it seemed that they had similar hobbies.

"I won't ride shè fists and kicks either......," Silver Bell shook her head.

Zhu Zhanji was stunned, how could he not feel that the other party seemed to want to keep a distance from him. But he was not discouraged, and walked two quick steps to follow: "Then what are your hobbies?" ”

"Play." couldn't be entangled by him, and Yinling had to throw down a word in shame.

"Great," who knew that Zhu Zhanji's eyes lit up and said: "I also like to play the most, what do you like to play?" ”

"Are you going to go in with you?" When he arrived at the door of the hanging flowers, under the reminder of Lingxiao, Zhu Zhanji reluctantly stood and stopped, and said loudly to the silver bell who entered the inner house: "I'll come to play with you another day......

A look of love at first sight caused all the women to laugh.

After entering the back house, Lin Qing'er first went to the master's bedroom, and under the service of the jade musk, she took off her head and face jewelry, refreshed it, and changed into home clothes.

While serving her to comb her hair, the jade musk deer looked at the furnishings in the room, looking at the various furnishings and utensils, all of them were full of wealth, and couldn't help but say: "Madam, it seems that the master is really developed." ”

Lin Qing'er naturally said with joy on her face: "Back then, I couldn't imagine that there is today." "The jade musk deer is her personal maid, Sister Lin doesn't need to hide her comfort in front of her, who didn't say it in Fuyang County at the beginning, she followed the scoundrel Wang Er, even if she fell into the fire pit, even she herself has little confidence in the future, she just hopes that he can change his evil and return to the right, and eat bran vegetables for the rest of his life, and he is satisfied.

Who knows that he not only changed his ways, but also burst out of infinite ability, but two years of hard work, he has changed from a small knife and pen official, to the court official, and was recruited into Beijing as an official, although I don't know what kind of official position he is now, but looking at this family business, you know that Lu Dao is very good.

It's like buying a lottery ticket only to win a consolation prize, but who knows that she won the grand prize of five million, Rao is a person like her who is diluted, and she can't help but be proud of her vision and luck?

Looking at the lady with a happy face in the mirror, Yu Musk was happy, but also a little worried: "The only bad thing is that there are more women in the family." As soon as she entered the house, she saw that none of the women in the back house were worse than herself, and one of them looked like a fairy, better looking than her wife, she felt a great threat. She is still counting on one day to be accepted by the master, but now that there are so many beauties around the master, how can she still get her turn?

"Hehe, you're in a hurry, aren't you?" Lin Qing'er smiled and said, "I'm worried that the master doesn't want you?" "In this era, who is not a man with three wives and four concubines who has the ability and status? Lin Qing'er grew up with "The Female Tamer" memorized since she was a child, and if her husband only guarded her, she would be worried that others would say that she was jealous, so she was always open to the careful thinking of the jade musk, or she would not have brought the little cabbage to the capital together.

Lin Qing'er, as a wife, naturally has nothing to worry about, it is actually the jade musk deer who really feels threatened, when the main mother said this, she was so ashamed that her little face turned red, and she lowered her head like a mosquito and said: "No, anyway, I plan to serve my wife for the rest of my life." ”

"Those girls are the troupe that His Royal Highness the Grand Sun gave to the master, and the master can't do without it, but the master doesn't plan to accept them, so he will keep Le Ji at home, and he will still marry outside in the next two years." Another reason why Lin Qing'er can stay calm is that Wang Xian has already made it clear on the way to come. "So don't worry, the master is not willing to give you to outsiders."

"Really?" After all, the jade musk deer is still small, and when it is happy, it leaks the bottom. But hearing Mrs. say this, a big stone in my heart finally fell, and I was sincerely worried about Mrs. now: "But what is that little pity, he really looks like a fairy concubine...... Oh no, the fox is like jīng, Madame must not be guarded. ”

"At such a young age, where do you have such strange thoughts?" Lin Qing'er scolded with a smile, but her eyes did have a trace of discomfort, that Gu Xiaolian was really too sè, although it could be seen that she deliberately dressed plainly not to steal the limelight, but that peerless elegance could not be covered. However, Lin Qing'er was knowledgeable after all, so she suppressed the thoughts that she shouldn't have, and said with a faint smile: "It's the first time I've seen such a woman, let alone the master, even I am excited, but it's strange that the master said that he would release her in the future." ”

"I'm afraid that the old man is worried that Madame will be unhappy when she comes," Jade Musk whispered: "I deliberately said this to make Madame happy." ”

"Am I the kind of person who is jealous?" Lin Qing'er glanced at her, but she secretly thought it was true in her heart, and she was relieved that her husband took care of her feelings. At this time, she stopped dressing, and she got up and said, "Okay, little eighth woman, let's go out." Then he took the hand of the jade musk deer and came to the back hall to meet the women.

Originally, in Hangzhou, the family ate at the same table regardless of men and women, but now it is in the capital, and the housekeeper of the original Earl's Court is used at home, and the rules are naturally bigger, the men are eating and drinking in the front hall, and the women are in the back hall, and they do not eat together. Otherwise, the two Niu brothers would not stop in front of the Hanging Flower Gate......

Lin Qing'er went from the bedroom to the back hall, which was where she sat and rested, and there were already many people in the hall waiting here...... The one who took the lead was the wife of Steward Chen, one after the other, who was in charge of the entire Wang family. Seeing that the lady was coming, Chen Fajia took all the slaves and maids to ask for peace, and asked the lady to sit alone on the right seat, and then the rice was held, the safety of the spoon, and the soup was entered, and the busy work stopped, and the maids held the gargle and the towel stood at the table, although they were busy, but from beginning to end, they couldn't even hear a cough. made the jade musk deer secretly ashamed...... When I was in Hangzhou, every time I ate, only two or three of them were serving, but they chattered endlessly, and if they were so unruly, they were afraid that they would be looked down upon.

In fact, Lin Qing'er was also secretly nervous in her heart, although her family was also a big family in Fuyang back then, but after all, it was in the county, and the family was usually no different from after marrying into the Wang family, how could there be such a big rule? But her book is not read in vain, knowing that as a housewife, she must not show cowardice, otherwise the people below will inevitably have a contemptuous heart, and there will definitely be trouble after rì. So no matter how people serve, she just cares about it and never shows a trace of discomfort.

After the slaves and maids were busy, Lin Qing'er looked at the two empty chairs on both sides and said, "Add two more chairs, Jade Musk, and invite the little girl and the embroidery girl over." ”

"Yes." Chen Fajia hurriedly asked his mother-in-law to add two more, and the jade musk deer hurriedly went to invite someone.

At this time, Yinling and Lingxiao also came hand in hand, and a pair of sisters smiled and said hello to Lin Qing'er, and then sat down next to her, Lin Qing'er smiled at them and said, "What did you say?" ”

"Said that she has a brother Xiaoqian in Hangzhou...... Lingxiao laughed and said: "Now there is another Niu Ba brother in the capital." ”

"Okay, you stinky Lingxiao," Yinling said with shame on her face: "Trick me as soon as you meet" said and reached out to tickle her, Lingxiao was most afraid of itching, and hurriedly begged for mercy, and the two laughed together. Lin Qing'er looked at them dotingly, and after waiting for a while, Gu Xiaolian and Little Cabbage followed the jade musk deer, Lin Qing'er beckoned them to sit down, and neither of them dared to say anything.

"My sister, what's polite, and you want me to send someone to press you on the seat?" Lin Qing'er smiled: "Hurry up and sit down to eat, it's cold all day." ”
