Chapter 212 Toast
Mrs. Sun smiled and said, "Our aunt has always been close to her mother's family. Why is mother afraid of her making fun of her? Today, there are no big invitations at home, and all the relatives and friends who came here are purely having fun together. "
Feng Shi said, "The old lady is really polite. If I had known that the old lady was coming, I would have picked her up."
"Are all the girls from the Xie family here? I haven't seen them yet. The table will be set up later. Let me meet the girls from the Xie family."
The three tables were all placed together. Xie Zhiwei and the others heard Mrs. Sun's words, as did the two sisters-in-law of the Xiao family. They looked at each other, and they both saw displeasure in each other's eyes.
It was late, and by this time everyone was hungry and sat on the table, and even said that they wanted to recognize someone. This is not considered rude, what else is rude?
It's not that this kind of thing can't be done, but that one's words and deeds must match one's status and status. Even if the Sun family's ancestors had been a feudal official, it was out of luck. Going back one generation, he would be a merchant .
What is the identity of the Xie family? What's more, Xie Zhiwei, the second-rank county lord, is there, and the Xie family has no face when sitting at the table, and Xie Zhiwei didn't plan to argue with the grandmother of Feng's name outside. What kind of trouble is the Sun family going to do?
"Go and call the girls over!" Feng ordered Lan Yuan, who glanced at Xie Zhiwei and the others.
Mrs. Qian was about to stand up to speak, but Mrs. Xiao couldn't sit still. She turned her head and looked at the old lady's table, and said with a smile, "Old lady, old lady Sun, we're all sitting down here, and the girls are hungry too. Wait a minute." After finishing the rice noodles, I went back to the main hall, and my daughter-in-law sent Hui and Qian to greet Mrs. Sun!"
Mrs. Feng understood, but her complexion was not good, but Mrs. Sun didn't understand. Naturally, she couldn't get angry. She looked at Xie Zhiwei and said, "I heard that your eldest girl has been made the county head, who is it? I Look!"
Xie Zhiqian was so angry that she muttered, "Big sister, let's go back, it's so annoying, who are they?"
Xie Zhihui said, "What is this? It's even more annoying that you haven't seen it yet."
The two were still talking, Xie Zhiwei raised her hand to stop them, she picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile, "Old Madam Sun, when the old lady was still alive, the second-rank official residence was just like me. The county head is generally high or low. What's more, when the old man was in the chief envoy, he didn't ask the old lady to ask for a letter. You are a person, let me go to pay you a visit. Old lady, I am not a junior. I don't give you face, but the court's law is in place, and etiquette cannot be broken!"
The atmosphere was very embarrassing, and the natal families of the second wife and the third wife were also surprised. Mrs. Sun couldn't bear it anymore, and was about to explode, Mrs. Feng coughed lightly twice, and apologized to Mrs. Sun, "My granddaughter , because she was spoiled by her grandfather, she has a bad temper, you must always look at it for my sake, take it easy, don't take it to heart."
If you worry about it again, you will not be able to get off the stage. Mrs. Sun also accepts it as soon as she sees it, so she hurriedly called Mrs. Sun, "Hurry up and start the banquet, don't starve the children."
Mr Feng winked at Mrs Sun, Mrs Sun nodded, holding back her breath, "It's my fault, it's really neglectful."
Mrs. Wang hurriedly served the dishes. First, there were eight cold dishes, followed by hot dishes. Although they were not very special, they were better than sumptuous. They are all popular dishes nowadays, but they can also arouse people's appetite.
Bai Meizhi was the host, and after the maids served the wine, she raised the wine glass and said with a smile, "Nieces and sisters, let's drink this glass together!"
After drinking for three rounds, everyone was starving, so they buried their heads in eating.
Xie Zhihui gave Xie Zhiwei a piece of bamboo shoot tip, "Big sister, you have a taste, this taste is not bad."
Feng Ruoyu smiled and said, "Sister Hui, I don't see you serving me."
Xie Zhiwei raised his eyelids and glanced at her, and before she could speak, he heard Xie Zhiqian say, "Aunt Biao, we are guests at your house, but you want us to serve you as guests, it shouldn't be like this !"
A girl from the Yang family looked at Feng Ruoyu and Bai Meizhi, frowned, raised her wine glass and said to Xie Zhiwei, "Master Duanxian, my name is Yang Yufei, my father is the county magistrate of Wanping County, I respect the county magistrate A cup."
The magistrate of Wanping County? Xie Zhiwei hooked her lips into a meaningful smile. She picked up the wine glass, brought it to her lips for a moment of meaning, and then put down the glass.
Xie Zhiwei, as the eldest daughter of the Xie family, the second-rank county magistrate personally decreed by the emperor, did not refuse a drink from the daughter of a seventh-rank county magistrate in person. Yang Yufei was already very happy, and asked Xie Zhiwei, "County Duanxian, I heard that there will be a Youlan Festival in Youlan Residence a few days ago. This time, the Youlan Festival will mainly compete in calligraphy and painting. I heard that whoever wins the first prize will get a stack of scented paper. There are peach blossoms printed on the paper, called Peach Blossoms Jian, it is fragrant and beautiful. County lord, will you go?"
Yang Yufei's face was full of excitement when she talked about the Youlan Society. It was lucky to say that when she went shopping, she met the eldest girl from Uncle Ningyuan's residence in an ink shop, and the other party gave her a Youlan sticker.
This Youlan post is really rare, every time Youlan meeting, no more than 30 Youlan posts are sent out, there are so many noble ladies in the capital, not everyone can get their turn, and you can only take two people with a Youlan post, Can Yang Yufei not be excited?
Youlan Society?
Bai Meizhi's eyes burst into light, and then dimmed again in an instant. If it wasn't for this incident, she could also participate in the Orchid Club like an ordinary daughter in the boudoir, increase her popularity in the capital, slowly accumulate a good reputation, and slowly enter the heart of her big cousin .
What about now?
Bai Meizhi's hand holding the chopsticks slowly tightened, her heart felt sour, and her hatred gradually surged up. Her mother is also a daughter of the Uncle Yongchang's mansion, what happened to her in the end? It also brought her a humble background, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't see a good scene.
Yesterday, Nanny and Biyou knelt in front of her bed and persuaded her for a long time, telling her to beg the old lady. Now only the old lady can give her a good future.
"The girl has no other ambitions, she just wants to be a concubine. The girl didn't fall into this situation by herself. It's because she thanked her family for being unkind. We came to join our relatives, and we didn't say that we should be treated as more It's one thing, it's just for a bite to eat and a piece of clothes to wear, but what is the old lady? Leaving the girl in this Yongchang uncle's mansion, the uncles and wives don't take the girl seriously, and now there is still the fifth young master who can rely on her , What about the future? This is not a long-term solution.”
