Although Lu's hair bun is a simple flat bun, he wears a hibiscus jade flute inlaid with pearls and emeralds, and wears a sleeved jacket embroidered with auspicious flowers and birds, while Zhou Congli wears a round-necked robe with crimson embroidered treasure and flowers, which can be seen to be deliberately dressed in festive and auspicious.
Because tomorrow is the right day for the next post to hold a 100-day banquet, Chu Qi was not at home, and Jinghe saw that Zhou Congli was his uncle, so he did not ask anyone to accompany the guests, but invited people to come to the inner courtyard to talk.
Jinghe got up and called affectionately, "Uncle, aunt." ” Zhou Congli had a gloomy face, but nodded, and Lu Shi responded politely, "You sit quickly, and you are not an outsider." ” Jinghe sat down with a smile, Zhou Congli's unhappiness must be because he didn't let him get involved in the business in Shanxi, since Jinghe has made up her mind, even if Zhou Congli is unhappy, she will not change, she turned her head and told Jinxin to bring Sister Xin and Brother Zheng to meet the guests, while ordering people to serve tea and snacks.
Sister Wen'er, a girl of her age, can see the change every few months, Jinghe saw her following Lu Shi's side, looking at herself timidly, so she handed her the hand stove, and asked her again and again if she was cold or hungry.
Sister Wen replied crisply: "I'm not cold, the carriage is wrapped with thick felt, and as soon as the carriage is released, Aunt Jinxin arranged a warm sedan chair to pick us up." ” Tong Yan is unscrupulous, but it is also a compliment to Jinxin, Jinxin smiled when he heard it, and Jinghe also smiled and praised Sister Wen'er, a little cousin, for her good upbringing.
As he was talking, Wang Chuyi's daughter-in-law said back and forth that Chu Qi had come back and had arrived at the mouth of the alley.
The corners of Zhou Congli's lips squirmed when she heard this, but Lu secretly pulled the corners of her husband's clothes, and Jinghe took the small movements of their husband and wife in her eyes, but did not say anything.
She turned her head to look at the Western gilded glass cover on the long case, but it was not yet, obviously it was not yet the time for Chu Qi to go to the office, Chu Qi must have heard that his uncle was coming, and he deliberately returned to the house early.
Jing He's relative Chu Qi saw it in his eyes, and Jing He's heart was warm.
Sprinkled the flower curtain, Jinxin brought Sister Xin and Brother Zheng over, and the nurse hugged Brother Zhen and followed at the end.
Lu Shi had already prepared, took out two purses and gave them to Sister Xin and Brother Zheng'er, and took out a piece of red gold lock plate, which was about an inch in size, and there was a row of gold beads the size of lotus seed rice at the bottom.
Lu Shi was a little stunned and said: "Although things are ordinary, they were discussed with the Xianggong and sent to the Great Huguo Temple to open the light, and put a pillow on Brother Zhen'er." ” Jinghe couldn't help but take a look at the Lu family, when the uncle and the Lu family got married, the Lu family's down-to-earth generosity, and even with a bit of bold temperament The scene appeared in Jinghe's mind, could it be that the Lu family's current caution is because she refused her request last time, she was ready to take a look again, so she only quietly pointed to the snacks on the table, and said: "This Wuhe Ruyi cake is added with a fine powder made of five kinds of medicinal materials such as prince ginseng, yam, and longan meat, which can warm the yang energy, and it is the best to use it in this season, so my uncle and aunt can try it."
Sister Xin got up and took the plate and walked to Zhou Congli and Lu, Zhou Congli didn't take it, Lu took a piece to Sister Wen, and said with a smile: "Every month, Yishanzhai will send dim sum to the house, it is really thanks to Mrs.
Fu's blessing that I can taste such exquisite dim sum." ” Zhou Congli couldn't help but glance at his wife, with a faint pity in his eyes, as if the Lu family had suffered some grievances.
As he spoke, Chu Qi came back and invited Zhou Congli to the front flower hall to talk.
Lu Shi looked at her husband's back and stopped talking, as if he was worried that Zhou Congli would say something that he shouldn't say.
Jinghe gave Jinxin a look, and said to the Lu family with a smile: "Tomorrow is Brother Zhen'er's 100-day banquet, and my aunt will definitely come over to join in the fun." ” Lu Shi was a little uncomfortable when he heard this, rubbed his hands and said, "Your uncle and I are here for this matter today," she raised her eyes to look at Jing He, her eyes flickered a little, "There is something to do tomorrow, and we can't come over." ” In the past, the Lu family smiled before speaking, with a bit of the ease of an exotic woman, is it the same person as the woman in front of him?
Jinghe secretly thought in her heart, could it be because she gave birth to a daughter in her first birth, and her uncle gave her a face?
But look at how much Uncle Fang Cai's actions are protective of her, and they are not very similar.
As for the maternal grandfather and grandmother, it is even more unlikely that they will embarrass the Lu family because of Sister Wen'er.
Jinghe thought about it seriously, even if the Lu family came to mention her uncle's participation in the northwest business last time, she was still full of tactfulness when she refused, saved enough face for the Lu family, and sent things over a few times in a row, so what was the Lu family awkward?
It happened that the person on the stove sent the recipe over, and Basho handed it over, Jinghe glanced at it and handed it back to Basho, motioning for her to show it to Lu's family, while saying: "Today, Uncle and Uncle and Mrs.
Uncle are eating in the house, and I ordered to clean up those wild ducks and make a snowflake duck soup for Mrs.
Uncle to taste." ” Jinghe thought that if the Lu family had a problem in her heart, she should refuse to stay in the Guogong Mansion for dinner, she looked at the Lu family and asked, "What else does my aunt want to eat?"
” Lu Shi waved his hand again and again, and excused himself, "You and Grandpa Guo are so busy, how can you bother you......"
Jinghe smiled and said, "Uncle is too polite," Lu didn't say anything more. didn't refuse to stay in the house for dinner, so it shouldn't be that he had an opinion about himself, and he came to give Brother Zhen a 100-day gift, but why did the two of them deliberately come over a day earlier?
Could it be that there is someone or something she doesn't want to meet tomorrow, Jinghe secretly thought in her heart, so she could only endure it for the time being and wait for the news that Jinxin inquired about.
Besides, on Jinxin's side, she was arranged to accompany the servant women from the Zhou family to eat, and the servants from the Zhou family were arranged in the podium on the right side of Cangwuju.
She opened a palm-sized three-layer snack box, took out the snacks in the same way, and said to the woman in the parrot's green gown sitting opposite: "I just went to the kitchen to ask, Mrs. left my uncle and wife to eat, and the kitchen will prepare another meal to be delivered, and my mother might as well fill her stomach with a few pieces of snacks first." ” Basho also said on the side: "Exactly, it's a coincidence that my mother came, this lotus seed hibiscus cake and ginseng wine were only rewarded by my husband today, just for my mother to taste, the taste is different from the outside." ” Although Yishanzhai is for the British Mansion, the second room of the Xu family and the Zhou family's dim sum, but the dim sum of Yishan Zhai is delicate and small, and it is impossible to send so many to each family, and these servants have not had many opportunities to eat, not to mention this new style and new taste of dim sum.
