The old lady accepted the gift with a smile and waved her hand slightly.
A tall maid standing next to the old lady came forward and helped Xia Xiaodong up.
She also touched Xia Xiaodong's wrist and said with a smile. : "Oh, ancestors, Miss Xia's appearance and figure really compares favorably with the girls in our family."
As she said that, the tall maid took Xia Xiaodong's wrist and stretched it out in front of the old lady's eyes: "Look, the skin of this meat is so tender."
As she said that, she deliberately raised her eyebrows at the old lady.
The old lady laughed loudly: "You monkey, are you afraid that I will give you a small gift as a greeting?"
She took off a red gold bracelet with phoenix tail scales from her wrist, and put it on Xia Xiaodong's wrist.
Xia Xiaodong thanked her quickly and glanced at the maid, only to see that the maid blinked her left eye lightly at him, quite smartly.
To be able to speak and behave like this on this occasion, I think he is the most favored person around the old lady.
In fact, when people get older, they are like children, and many of them like to be lively and playful.
After meeting the old lady, Lu Yunzhi introduced the girls present again.
Except for one who was an aunt, the others were Lu Yunzhi's cousins.
I couldn't remember many of them at the moment.
Anyway, as time goes by, you will naturally get to know them.
If you know something, you don’t need to know it.
After chatting for a while, a maid came outside the door and reported that dinner was ready.
Dinner is served in the flower hall on the south side.
A huge rosewood round table could easily seat twenty people.
Now that there are ten seats, it doesn't feel sparse.
There was no food in the middle of the table, and even if there were any, the gibbon probably wouldn't be able to hold it.
There was a pot of orchid with extremely lush leaves, which was obviously carefully taken care of, and every leaf was green and dust-free.
Surrounding the Wolan.
They are countless deep-mouthed plates of the same size, containing dinner dishes.
Looking carefully, it's no wonder there are so many small plates.
It turns out that the dishes have been divided according to the head.
In front of each person are four meat, four vegetarian and four cold dishes, plus an original cup of stew and a cup of light blue steamed japonica rice. .
This is hygienic and convenient.
Xia Xiaodong waited cautiously for everyone to raise their chopsticks before carefully starting to eat.
So many people eating together.
There was almost no sound, neither the sound of a spoon hitting the dishes, nor the sound of chewing and swallowing.
Watching these people eating around me is like a pantomime Fortunately, after being careful for a while, Xia Xiaodong gradually discovered that not making a sound was actually not that difficult as long as it was done slowly enough.
Just move slowly when picking up vegetables and serving soup.
Generally, there will be no collision, and each mouthful of food will be chewed slowly for thirty or forty times.
Of course there is no sound.
Although I am a little tired, it is very healthy.
After dinner, everyone said goodbye and left.
The old lady also told Lu Yunzhi very kindly: "Miss Xia just arrived at our house.
She is tired after all.
You can take her to a safe place and settle her down tomorrow.
I will meet my sister and sister tomorrow."
Let’s be stubborn together.”
This is probably because the lighting is poor at night and I usually eat after dinner.
It's time to go to bed.
The days are so long and there are so many things that can’t be done.
How much can't be said, only at night Lu Yunzhi smiled and took Xia Xiaodong back to his yard.

"The yard for you has been tidied up.
Come to my place first, check the door, have a cup of tea and then go over."
Lu Yunzhi took Xia Xiaodong's hand and casually directed the maids to bury the house last year.
Dig out a jar of snow water from the petals of plum blossoms and boil the water for tea.
Xia Xiaodong didn't taste any difference in such elegant water.
Before I could finish the cup of tea, a silver bell-like laughter came from the door.
A guest is coming.
They were the two girls I had met at the old lady's place before.
Knowing that Xia Xiaodong probably didn't remember who was who, Lu Yunzhi reintroduced them very considerately.
The tall and slender figure, wearing a pleated skirt with gold all over the floor, making her waist more and more uncontrollable, is Lu Yunfang, the eleventh mother in the big room.
The shorter one is round and round, with a fair complexion and a small mouth like a cherry, which is both small and red.
She is the thirteenth daughter of the fifth house, Lu Yunjie.
Lu Yunzhi greeted with a smile and asked the maid to bring two more cups of tea, but her attitude was tepid, more than gentle but not enthusiastic.
Xia Xiaodong looked at Lu Yunzhi, then at the two visiting girls, then lowered his head to drink his own tea.
If you are new here, it is better to pretend to be quail.
The problem is that these two people seem to be here just for Xia Xiaodong.
Thirteenth Niang picked up the white porcelain tea cup that the maid had brought up, opened the lid and flipped it hastily a few times, then smiled at Eleventh Niang and said, "Sister Fang, look, our tea cups are the same."
Lu Yunfang looked down at the tea cup in her hand and said with a smile: "It's really the same.
The tea cups used by Sister Zhi here to serve guests are all white porcelain from Yizhou, which is a good thing."
Lu Yunjie frowned, as if she was a little dissatisfied with Lu Yunfang's slowness, so she had to clarify her words and sneered: "It's just a white porcelain one.
Sister Fang thinks it's a good thing.
Look at what Sister Xia has in her hand.
The emerald and green jade buckets that Sister Zhi uses for her own use are made of ink-blue thin porcelain hand-painted by a master craftsman.
Those are the best things.”
Xia Xiaodong was astonished when he told her.
He looked at the green square bucket in his hand and realized that it was a emerald green jade bucket.
It must be a precious object.
As for the cup in Lu Yunzhi's hand, it was originally a set.
It was given to him by Lei Xiong, the so-called master craftsman, who showed off his skills when he was in Suzhou.
Xia Xiaodong also had a set.
Just by drinking tea, she can find faults.
This Thirteenth Niang is pretty good at it.
Xia Xiaodong put down the green jade bucket but said nothing.
This is Lu Yunzhi's house, so naturally Lu Yunzhi will deal with it.
What's more, these two people here are definitely not bored.
They came here just to find a teacup, right?
However, Lu Yunzhi was indifferent and just smiled and said: "The only thing I have to entertain guests here is this white porcelain cup.
If my sister is not used to it, I will go to the old lady to look for it later, or ask Sister-in-law Jun to take a look in the library.
"What's better?
I'll invite my sister over to taste it later."
These words were said in a calm and gentle manner, without any hint of fireworks, but there was a faint meaning of rejecting others and being thousands of miles away.
Lu Yunfang became a little embarrassed and said hurriedly: "Sister Jie just said it casually.
How can we alert the old lady?
Sister-in-law Jun is in charge of the house, and seeing that Tian'er is extremely busy, it is not easy to take trouble.
There is such a noble person there. , Even Yizhou White Porcelain dislikes it.”

However, Lu Yunjie didn't even blink.
She pulled Lu Yunfang and sneered: "You're so straight-faced, just give me a stick and treat it like a needle.
Don't you understand what Sister Zhi said?
We are guests, so we can only use It’s about hospitality.
People are their own people.”
The last three words "myself" were spoken in a strange tone, with a long pronunciation, while looking towards Xia Xiaodong
