Pavilion, East Flower Hall.The ladies who came to congratulate had a happy smile on their faces, but it is unknown how many nests of rabbits they had in their hearts.Grandma Yang respectfully invited all the ladies into the Donghua Hall, and Grandma Li had already led the maids to set the table neatly.The main seat is located in the east, and there are three rows on both sides, one north and one south, with eight seats in each row, for a total of forty-eight seats.It's a fixed number, a fixed sort, a fixed position, just the turn of the person sitting on each seat changes.From master to servant, I don't know how many red faces, how many virtuous women, and how many foxes have been rotated in the past hundred years.Like the table in the east house, the same delicacies are displayed on the small octagonal high table.The only difference is that there are two pots of large red roses on the main table.On each table, there is a pot of light and fragrant apricot blossom stuffing, a glass of cherry blossom pink chilled watermelon juice, a plate of mutton fat white jade cake soaked in cold dewdrops, a plate of sweet and sour white crispy plum cakes, and a bowl of steaming green tea.Headed by the wife of the Mo patriarch, the noble ladies of various provinces followed step by step.There were still people talking and laughing in the courtyard just now, but when they stepped into the East Flower Hall, they were all silent, and even walked cautiously.Mrs.
Mo sat on the left side of the main seat, and the first row on the south side.She is dignified and noble, and she has the style of a mother.It is precisely because the eight major clans are based on the head of the Mo clan, the Mo patriarch is the backbone of the patriarchs, and Mrs.
Mo has also become the backbone of the patriarch's wife by virtue of "husband and wife".The wife of the patriarch of Li, who was waiting to pay off her innocence in the Buddhist hall, did not show up, and the rest were all listed.The main seat belonging to the wife of the Patriarch of Kuri, the first row on the north side was vacated."
Feng Xiannu has arrived!"
Outside the door, Yang Yan's grandmother sang loudly, ringing bells, and her steps were tight and calm.All the ladies in the East Flower Hall stood up together, bowed their heads, and were respectful and polite.Li Haitang stepped into the house with the help of Qingluo, and at first glance saw that the first place in the north was empty, and the beautiful woman in the first place in the second row stood solemnly, and her shoulders tensed revealed that she was in a nervous mood at the moment.Quietly looked around at the noble ladies on both sides, and sneered silently in his heart.Li Haitang was accompanied by Qingluo to the main seat, and the three teenagers behind him stayed outside the door and respectfully bowed."
It's all forgiven."
Li Haitang waved his little hand casually, sat calmly in the wide chair, picked up a cup of steaming green tea and drank it lightly, and asked casually: "Mrs.
Li still refuses to leave the Buddha Hall?"
”This is a common question, but who will answer it?
Mrs.
Mo sat on the south side and glanced lightly at Mrs.
Li Yan opposite.The person who told this should be from the Li family, firstly, others are not qualified to answer on their behalf, and secondly, Mrs.
Li Yan and Mrs.
Li are not only concubines, but also best friends in the girlfriends.Even if the two of them had a disagreement a few days ago, it was a conflict in their own family, and they always had to worry about their faces outside.Receiving many glances, or kindness, or ridicule, or sympathy, or schadenfreude, Mrs.
Li Yan swallowed her saliva with a mouthful of anger, and slowly stood up and bowed her head."
Miss Yuli, the patriarch's wife has sworn that she will never step out of the Buddha Hall until she returns her innocence.The happy event of the big girl Li, the concubine also went to the Zhongzheng Mansion of the Li family to tell the patriarch's wife, but the patriarch's wife recited the scriptures and participated in the Buddha, and the concubine did not dare to enter the Buddhist hall to ask the patriarch's wife for advice.It was the dereliction of duty of the concubine, and Miss Li forgave her sins. ”Mrs.
Li Yan bowed her head even lower."
What do you say, Mrs.
Li Yan and I are the love of heaven."
Li Haitang asked Qingluo to help Mrs.
Li Yan sit down, which was regarded as giving Mrs.
Li Yan a step.Mrs.
Li Yan secretly breathed a long sigh of relief, took a small sip of cold watermelon juice, put it in her throat, and poured it on the fire, so that she had the patience to continue to sit here.If it weren't for the fact that Nanfu's life was getting more and more difficult, she wouldn't want to humiliate herself at all.The grievances and grievances between her and Begonia have become strange, and now the Li Begonia on the throne is a life-saving charm that she can use.In order to keep Li's Nanfu, and for her mother and daughter to live as well as before, she is willing to curry favor with Li Haitang, but she will not treat Li Haitang as a benefactor.Everything is unpredictable, life is impermanent, only power and wealth can make her and her daughter, her Li clan Nanfu safe, she can give up anything in exchange, as long as Li Haitang can say it.Mrs.
Li Yan stubbornly and arrogantly watched the nobles except for Patriarch Mo raise their glasses and celebrate, congratulating the little girl on the throne on becoming the sister of the two big merchants, and she will definitely fly for nine days in the future, replacing Mo Rongjiu to become the first generation of female merchants in Ciyu Town.At this time, the little girl who was praised by all the ladies was already noble, as if the little girl was not the daughter of the ancestors, but the mother of a country.Li Haitang smiled faintly, and casually dealt with the noble ladies who praised and flattered one after another, and stared at Mrs.
Li Yan who was silently tasting mutton fat white jade cake with obsidian apricot eyes."
Do you like it?
I've brought a lot of them back from Yanxia Town, and when you get home, I'll take some for the two girls in the family to taste. ”Li Haitang leaned on the square pillow and stretched her neck to talk to Mrs.
Li Yan.And her lively small talk also made the noisy room instantly quiet, and everyone looked at the beautiful woman with a stunned face, waiting for her to respond."
Miss Xie Li's reward, this mutton fat white jade cake is glutinous and light, melts in the mouth, excellent!
Fabulous!
”"Then ......"
Li Haitang paused slightly, pretended to think about it, and asked with a smile: "Compared to Mrs.
Li's favorite osmanthus rolling hydrangea?"
I don't know which one I prefer?
”Mrs.
Li Yan smiled awkwardly, stood up and saluted, "Since the death of the master, the concubine and widow have lived at home to eat and worship the Buddha, and the favorite food has also gone with the master."
Now that Miss Li came to ask, the concubine really didn't know how to answer. ”"It's okay!"
Li Haitang picked up a piece of mutton fat white jade cake and said: "This white jade cake is glutinous and delicious, sweet but not greasy, I like it very much, so I begged Ling Ye to send someone to Yuanxiangzhai to make it." ”"Master Ling really loves Miss Li."
Mrs.
Cheng was envious.Patriarch Mo looked at Mrs.
Cheng coldly, picked up his plate of mutton fat white jade cake and handed it to Qingluo, and motioned for Qingluo to send it to Mrs.
Liyan."
Thank you, Mrs.
Mo."
Mrs.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Li Yan saluted gratefully, and held the mutton fat white jade cake presented by Qingluo in both hands and placed it on her table.Li Haitang gave his mutton fat white jade cake to Mrs.
Mo, saying: "Good things must be shared, and evil words must be shared."
When I came back, I didn't even drink my saliva, and there were spies who came to report that rumors were flying all over the place, and there was not even a single person in the eight major clans who stood up to quell the rumors.Tut-tut, it's hard for you to come to congratulate you one by one with a shy old face. ”"The rumors that Miss Li heard are nothing, just a few ignorant children."
Mrs.
Wu took a chopstick and poked her plate of mutton fat white jade cake at will, and spoke softly as if she were a foreign woman.This gloating attitude angered Mrs.
Mo, and I saw Mrs.
Mo slap the table angrily, pointing at the tip of Mrs.
Wu's nose and scolding.() Glory to the end
