It will be the seventh day of June in a few days, and that day is Zhou Mengya's birthday, which is also the lotus appreciation feast.
Zhou Mengya asked the servants at home to pass the messages to the ladies of the big families in the city, even those from less prestigious families.
The post was made of fine gold-painted rice paper.
Not only were the ladies’ names written on it, but also a few lotus flowers were sketched on it, which was very elegant and elegant.
It has to be said that Zhou Mengya is already a lady at a young age.
Although she usually has a cute foodie attitude, when things happen, she also has a shadow of her late mother.
Liu Yuanniang is the legitimate daughter of Liu Fan, the eldest member of the Liu family.
Although the Liu family is a declining aristocracy, they have a deep family background and have been well-educated since childhood.
Unfortunately, the eldest family of the Liu family has only two legitimate daughters.
Liu Pu, the second uncle of the Liu family, went out to make a living in his early years and never came back.
Therefore, before his eldest brother Liu Fan passed away, he also asked his wife to find Liu Pu as soon as possible and to consolidate the relationship between the Liu and Zhou families.
Therefore, after Liu Yuanniang also passed away, Mrs.
Liu Yuanniang's biological mother Liu Zhang had no choice but to marry her concubine Liu Moniang to Zhou Baida as her stepmother.
And Liu Moniang's biological mother was just the aunt who was promoted from a maid next to Liu Zhang.
She was cowardly and had no opinions, so there was no mention of her.
So this is another reason why Liu Moniang, as a stepmother, does not dare to treat the mother-less brother and sister badly.
Even so, Qin Caiyu, who came back to help this time, is still not at ease.
Privately, she often contacted Xia He, the eldest maid of the Liu Zhang family.
As long as there was anything detrimental to Zhou Mengya's brother and sister, she would immediately tell Xia He to let the old lady of the Liu family know so that she could come to the Zhou family as her nephew and niece.
Call the shots.
But now the eldest young master doesn’t have to worry about it at all, but the third lady is very worrying.
Although she is very smart, she still can’t bear to think that her stepmother Liu Moniang will arrange her marriage.
Qin Caiyu's thoughts were completely unknown to the other two people.
At this moment, they were sitting in front of the table, studying a piece of paper on it.
"Haha, Chunyu, your idea is really good, but I can't compliment your painting skills.
Your painting is simply worse than what I did when I was eight years old."
Zhou Mengya said with a smile.
"Hey, eight years old is a bit exaggerated.
If you can understand it, it means it's pretty good."
Chunyu immediately retorted that her painting skills are not bad.
After all, she also studied Chinese painting for two days, but it's a pity that it's not very good.
I just know how to use a brush.
"Okay, no more joking.
Don't tell me this is the first time I've seen this kind of banquet.
Tell me what it's called."
Zhou Mengya pointed to a spot on the picture and asked.
"We will set up a row of long tables at Lanting here at the self-service dining table, covered with exquisite tablecloths and flowers.
Then everyone can sit casually and let their maids go to the self-service dining table if they need something to eat.
Get it there.
In this way, everyone will not be in a hurry, and the railings of the verandah in front of the Orchid Pavilion are also decorated with gauze curtains, which is both elegant and pleasing to the eye."
Chunyu talked about the arrangement of the banquet.
Talk freely.
"Oh, now that you say that, I'm eager to hold a banquet."
Zhou Mengya said with a smile, with a look of longing on her face.
"Today is only the third day of junior high school, why are you panicking?"

Chunyu said funny.
"I just can't wait any longer," Zhou Mengya said.
"But I can't wait to see what's delicious."
Chunyu also joked to her.
"Oh, where is it?
But, what delicious food is there that day?"
Zhou Mengya said, still most concerned about food.
Seeing her like this, Chunyu and Qin Caiyu couldn't help laughing.
Even Liu Hua and Liu Ying on the side couldn't help but cover their mouths with a handkerchief and chuckle.
"Snacks before the meal: red date glutinous rice cake, mung bean cake, osmanthus cake, cloud cake, cookies, matcha cake, puffs, egg tarts, candied fruit and other refreshments, as well as drinks such as honey pomelo peel tea, mint tea, rose tea, milk tea , fruit double skin milk, sago, etc.”
Chunyu said, looking at Zhou Mengya who was completely addicted, and continued with a smile: "However, those are all before meals, so they won't fill your stomach.
When lunch comes, everyone has a small can of secret pigeon soup and a small dish of honey in front of them.
Osmanthus yam, a plate of chicken cutlet and egg buns For rice, a papaya stewed with blood swallow.
As for the other hot and cold dishes such as steamed dumplings, soup dumplings, sauced pork trotters, chicken feet with pickled peppers, cucumbers with dipping sauce, clay pot corn braised pork ribs, etc.
Put it on the self-service counter, so whoever wants to eat can get some after the meal.
For carving fruits, Uncle Qin hired a new carving master for Xiangnuofang.
He is very good at carving our cakes.
He also has no trouble carving fruits.
"It's a pity that cattle here are more valuable than any other animal.
So they didn't have the opportunity to taste the steak.
"Well, it's good to have such an arrangement.
It has many novel categories and is full of style."
The more Qin Caiyu looked at her, the more she felt that her niece was amazing, but she was more capable than many housewives and ladies she had seen. said.
"Yes, Chunyu, you are really amazing."
She is becoming more and more suitable to be the elder brother's good wife.
Zhou Mengya said, still thinking about this in her heart.
And she was still cheering for her elder brother silently in her heart.
She must take Chun Yu home.
She was becoming more and more inseparable from the delicious food Chun Yu made.
"No, I just thought about it."
Chun Yu was rarely modest, and after she finished speaking, she realized that she seemed even more disgusting when she said this.
However, the two people didn't pay attention to this.
They just talked about some things that needed to be paid attention to at the banquet.
Later, just when Chunyu and Qin Caiyu were about to say goodbye, the other two young ladies from the Zhou family, the second young lady Zhou Mengchan and the fourth young lady Zhou Mengjuan, came.
In addition to bringing the gifts for Zhou Mengya first, the two of them also wanted to ask if there was anything they needed help with.
Zhou Mengchan gave a set of assorted dolls.
They were made of rosewood and made of colorful dough.
There were three pairs in total.
They were big dolls with smaller dolls inside.
They were very delicate and cute.
This was her aunt's home.
My uncle brought it back when he was doing business in the south.
She knows her third sister's hobbies very well and is always interested in all the delicious and fun things.
Sure enough, Zhou Mengya liked it very much and couldn't put it down when she got it.
On the contrary, Zhou Mengjuan gave her a set of luxurious but old-fashioned gold headbands, exquisitely crafted walking shoes, gold hairpins, and gold lilac earrings.

This set is probably going to be on top of the three or four sets of assorted dolls, but as Zhou Mengya, the legitimate daughter of the family, there is no shortage of these things.
However, Zhou Mengya didn't show it and still accepted it with a smile.
"Oh my, Second Sister, didn't you want us to give the same thing to Third Sister?
Why did you change your focus and come up with such an unattractive thing?
But the monthly routine is too small, why don't I go back and tell my mother to give you an increase?
"Some" Zhou Mengjuan didn't see anything.
She just saw what her second sister took out, and said sarcastically to Zhou Mengchan with disdain. "" Zhou Mengchan didn't expect that the fourth sister, who was so brainless, would say this.
For a moment, she didn't know what to say, so she had to pretend not to understand and said nothing.
She had deliberately revealed to Fourth Sister before that she would give valuables to Third Sister if she wanted to.
Who would have thought that Zhou Mengjuan actually did it without thinking and now she said it out loud.
"I like the gifts given by the second sister and the fourth sister.
Thank you for your trouble."
Zhou Mengya was afraid that the two of them would quarrel again, so she interrupted with a smile.
She was really too lazy to pay attention to the two people's affairs.
Anyway, as long as she was not offended, everything would be easy.
As for the lotus appreciation banquet in a few days, she doesn't have to worry.
Her two sisters are really good at pretending in front of outsiders.
Not to mention quarrels, even if they talk, they have a lot of strong sisterly love.
In the eyes of outsiders, This Zhou family is truly worthy of being a famous family, and the daughters of the Zhou family are all ladies.
Later, the two sat for a while and then returned to their own courtyards.
Chunyu and Qin Caiyu also said goodbye and left the Zhou Mansion.
They went to Xiangnuofang to discuss with Uncle Qin the preparations for the lotus appreciation banquet, such as fruit snacks and drinks.
In order to help these days, the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt also came to live in the county.
Brother and sister Qing Xing and Zhang Huzi have completely mastered the snack bar business.
The three of them are all down-to-earth people and are quick at work.
Chunyu doesn't have to worry about it at all now.
Moreover, my sister-in-law Liuzhi returned to Shanpu Village with her elder brother when Li Dajun came to see off Li Wujun and his wife a few days ago.
In addition to helping out at the snack bar, Li Wujun also went with Ma Dong most of the time, asking Ma Dong to help look for suitable cheap shops in Xicheng.
He wanted to open a furniture store.
This is also considered a branch of the store he opened with his master.
It’s just that he doesn’t want the master to get out of the money for opening a store in this city.
However, he will still pay dividends to the master when the time comes, and it is also to repay his master Guo Carpenter’s teachings. of grace.
He also discussed this matter with Qin Caiyu.
Qin Caiyu naturally agreed and said that she still had a lot of money for him to open a store.
Li Wujun naturally declined, but he was still very moved.
