Concubine Raiders Chapter 37: Feast (middle)

　　 Eleven Niang heard that there was something in that.

　　 Xu Lingkuan, the fifth master of the Xu family, is only 18 years old this year. He is a military officer of rank four in the Imperial Forest Army Tiance Camp. Three years ago, she married the prostitute of Dingnan Hou Sunkang. In the mouth of Mrs. Xu Lingkuan, this Xu Lingkuan was ignorant and ignorant, relying on the Yu Yin of his ancestors to only know how to fly eagles...

　　 Did Mrs. Joe mean Xu Lingkuan?

Mrs.　　 smiled without answering, and led everyone into the flower hall.

　　 There are earth dragons in the Flower Hall, warm as spring. The table was placed in the west room of the flower hall, and the dishes and chopsticks had already been arranged, and the maids and women who were serving were standing aside solemnly.

　　 The third lady warmly greeted everyone to sit down.

　　 After you gave me some advice, Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Joe, Mrs. Joe, and Mrs. San sat at a table.

　　Luo Grandma, Wu Niang, Qiao's Sixth Miss, and Eleven Niang sat at a table.

　　 Auntie Wen avoided the hall.

　　 Some maids brought water soaked in sweet-scented osmanthus for everyone to clean their hands, gave Mrs. Lady a table with Junshan Silver Needle, and gave Grandma Luo this table with Lushan Yunwu. Then the maids brought dim sum, platter, side dishes, cold dishes, hot dishes, hot pot... in an endless stream.

　　 The third wife poured Jinhua wine for the wife, the big wife and the others.

Mrs. 　　 politely said to the eldest wife, "It's a common meal, don't dislike your wife", and then toasted everyone a small cup.

　　Mrs. Big and Mrs. Joe replied.

　　 The feast officially begins.

　　 There are a lot of dishes here, but no one is embarrassed to stare at a distance—the one who is helping to prepare the dishes next to you will definitely stretch out a long chopsticks and grab it, which is greedy. The feeling of eating...So everyone eats the dishes in front of them properly.

　　 As for Mrs. Yu Tai, she said that she was not in good health, and she accompanied him for a little while, then put down the wine glass and stopped drinking, and was accompanied by the third wife. Although Mrs. Tai seems to be about the same age as Mrs. Tai, she is in fact over sixty years old, and everyone does not dare to persuade her. The eldest lady stared at Mrs. Joe. After a few glasses of wine, Mrs. Joe's face was flushed, but the old lady looked the same.

　　 I didn’t expect the big lady to have a good drink!

　　 Eleven Niang sits aside and watched the show.

　　 After a while, Mrs. Joe couldn't speak well.

　　 Madam 　　 looked at the situation and winked at the third wife. The third wife had to serve Mrs. Joe's wine when serving the wine cup, and the eldest wife didn't want to make trouble at the family banquet.

　　 After the meal, it was the end, so everyone moved to the west room for tea.

　　 or because of drinking, Mrs. Joe said a lot.

　　"...Blessed are those who can be in-laws with you. If it weren’t for your mother-in-law and her married daughter, how could you live with your mother-in-law for half a month and her mother’s for half a month? ."

Mrs. 　　 laughed. Seeing that the big lady was confused, she explained: "There is only this daughter at Dingnanhou’s knees. She is like a treasure. She can be married to our family, which means that we have many sons. In the future, my daughter and son-in-law will be able to go to my natal home a lot. I am also a child-rearing person. I feel sorry for the parents of the world. I let them stay at home for half a month and go to the Red Light Hutong Dingnanhou Mansion for half a month. Both sides have pictures. Freshness. Unlucky for you to come, it is in the second half of the month that they are still in Nanhou Mansion. When they come back, let them please you!"

　　 "Don't dare, don't dare." The eldest wife said in a hurry, "The fifth lady is the head of Danyang county appointed by the first emperor, and her status is honorable. How can she please please me!"

　　 Ding Nanhou’s sister was the favored concubine of the Emperor Xian, and her knees were empty. She often announced that the Sun family was in the palace to accompany her alive. The Emperor Xian also liked her when she looked at her, and sealed her as the "Lord of Danyang County." Home is still the top score.

　　 "The big lady is polite." Mrs. Joe smiled, "The emperor has a few poor relatives, not to mention you and me? Besides, our princess is a first-class virtuous person. Don’t let people call her the “host of the county”. Relatives and friends have always been generous, and everyone likes it......"

Mrs. 　　 listened to her speaking more and more uncomfortable, and her heart was angered, but she sneered in her heart because she was not a good guest at her house.

　　 is really a frog at the bottom of the well, Yelang is arrogant. It has been more than a hundred years since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The so-called founding feats, Taizong had used the "King Zheng An to seek rebellion" or killed or demoted or seized the nobility in his later years, and the wealth of the family was fair or sold, and the remaining few were trembling like mourning dogs. Finally, during Xiaozong's period, although several of them regained their titles, they were already shocked, but they wanted to save their lives and did not dare to contribute to the court. After more than a hundred years, most of them are strong outsiders and middle-ranked ones, relying on their ancestors to barely maintain daily expenses. How could it be compared to their family of officials and grandchildren, who set up farms and opened shops, and even took money from the internal affairs government to do business...If Cheng Guogong had not made some money in the Northwest Army in those years, the Qiao family would be just one of them. Even swearing words in front of her...

　　 The more she thinks about it, the worse she looks.

Mrs. 　　 saw the score clearly, she sighed secretly in her heart, smiled and stood up: "It's better to go and see the newly built stage, so you can eat!"

　　 Mrs. Tai knew that Mrs. Tai was helping her. She gratefully glanced at Mrs. Tai, and the group went to the newly built stage.

　　The stage is very small, with two rooms, whitewashed walls and gray tiles, and the four corners of the eaves are as high as swallows. The screen wall of the stage is filled with five colors and painted with big and big peony flowers, very gorgeous. Behind the stage is a row of seven wing rooms, on the left is three wing rooms, and on the right is a hallway. On the opposite side, there are seven main rooms with roll sheds on all sides.

　　 The third wife smiled and said: "Five masters’ idea. In summer, a curtain fan was hung on the eaves of the roll shed, while listening to the play, fanning the wind, the breeze slowly relieves the summer heat. In winter, plywood curtains can be hung, hanging or rolling. , I raised the fire plate again, roasted sweet potatoes and beans, played with fun, happy and free..."

　　 Luo's grandma repeatedly praised: "It's really a fantastic idea."

　　 Everyone also said "OK".

　　 Wu Niang's eyes were envious, Miss Qiao Liu smiled faintly, and Eleven Niang carefully looked at the surrounding furnishings.

　　The doors, bars and windows are all made of colorful gold, or carved with flowers, or birds and animals, or Baiying, or Bogu. It is very different from the commonly used patterns such as five bats holding longevity or five sons. There is dignity in the bustle. It can be seen that it took a lot of effort.

Mrs. 　　 chuckled: "I don’t know how much effort was spent for this stage." After that, he pointed to the seven wing rooms behind the stage: "It’s not just a row that leads directly to the garden." He pointed to the hall again, "I have also demolished Xiaosi's study in half. It is because he has a good temper. If he meets the old man, I am afraid that I will have a meal."

　　 Mrs. Qiao said "Oh", her eyes turned: "If you are singing over here, why don't you quarrel with Master Hou?"

　　 "What's the noise!" Mrs. Tai smiled, "I moved early. Xiaowu moved when he married his wife, and moved to Banyuepan in the back garden. Otherwise, take Xiaowu's courage I don’t dare to do a lot of construction here."

　　 Everyone laughed.

Mrs. 　　 simply led them into the hall.

　　 There is a small yard inside, with only three main rooms facing south and north, with gray tiles and pink walls and black painted pillars, and white window paper pasted. The courtyard is lined with a few Taihu rocks, a few bamboo shoots on the left and a few plantains on the right, which is quiet and elegant.

Mrs. 　　 praised "good place".

　　 "No." Madam Tai smiled and looked at the third wife, "If it weren't for Xiaosan, he said, if you have a distinguished guest, you can come here to rest your feet. Xiaowu would have taken it down early."

　　 The third lady covered her mouth and smiled: "Our master looked at Hou Ye's face turning blue, and then he came out and stopped."

　　 Everyone smiled and walked out of the yard, out of the wing behind the stage, and onto a bluestone paved corridor. On the left side of the corridor is a wall of leaky windows. The windows are built in round or square or begonia style, and you can see the mountains and green mountains, clear springs and strange stones in the garden. Along the way, there is a window and a scene of Jiangnan gardens.

　　 Mrs. Qiao smiled and said: "Fifth Lord is really hard work, even this wall has been changed."

Mrs. 　　 laughed, and pointed to a few green branches sticking out from the powder wall not far to the right: "That's the fifth residence."

　　Eleven mother looked over and saw a five-step step, where two or three little maidservants were throwing sandbags.

　　 Seeing Mrs. Tai approaching, they stepped forward to salute Mrs. Tai. Next to Mrs. Tai, a Pentecostal woman with a lilac pigment face makeup took a candy from her purse and came out to admire the little maid. The little maids ran away smilingly. Mrs. Tai pointed to a piece of white wall in front: "That is Yuanniang's yard."

　　 Bamboo shoots are exposed from the wall.

　　 The third lady smiled and pointed at Fenyuan at the end of the tunnel: "I live there!"

　　 Behind the house is the Flower Hall. Next to the Flower Hall is Xu Lingkuan, Xu Lingyi next to Xu Lingkuan, and Xu Lingning in the past... There should be a widow in the Xu family. I don’t know where to live?

　　Eleven mothers think. After I walked through Yuanniang’s courtyard, I saw a wide and bright door on the leaky window wall. The front door and the left side door were closed tightly, and the right side door was opened. The two women were sitting on the spring benches in front of the door and talking. Immediately ran over to please peace.

　　 Madam 　　 spoke a few words to the two women kindly~ IndoMTL.com~ pointed to the Guangliang gate and said to the big lady: "From here you are the back garden."

　　Mrs. nodded.

The third lady 　　 smiled and said: "After walking for a while, why not go where I am for a cup of tea!"

Mrs. 　　 looked at the eldest wife, the eldest wife was afraid that she was tired, and said with a smile: "Okay!"

　　 They walked southward along the fantan pointed by the third lady to the third lady’s residence.

　　 The third wife's residence is in five rooms, which is bigger than Luo's house in Gongxian Hutong. Whitewashed walls and grey tiles, black painted Ruyi doors, the inverted seat is divided into a study and a flower hall, and the front is a hallway. Entered the hall, crossed the bluestone tunnel, planted banana and apricot trees, and set up a flower frame. There are three main rooms with penthouses, and the porch is connected to the east and west wing rooms. The parents of Xu, Sun Xu Siqin and Xu Sijian live. In the third place, Xu Lingning and his wife lived in the yard and planted magnolia trees and pines. The fourth entry is the back cover room.

　　 They were drinking tea in the hall where the third lady lived.

　　 The clear and bright light golden tea soup, while the emerald green leaves are embellished, the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus is floating.

　　 Eleven Niang is slightly startled.

　　 sip gently.

　　The unique fragrance of bean curd and the sweetness of osmanthus in Longjing are intertwined, mellow and moisturizing, leaving fragrance on the lips and teeth.

　　 is osmanthus flower tea.

　　 Although the taste is unique, she doesn't like it.

　　Eleven mothers like tea-tea has its own characteristics, and there are other things in it, and I always feel that it is less pure.

　　 she thought about it, and someone praised it: "It's really good tea!"

　　Eleven mothers follow the prestige—it is the sixth Miss Qiao family.

　　"This is Lingxiulou's new flower tea this year!" She narrowed her eyes, her expression satisfied.

Mrs. 　　 smiled and said: "My sister is really elegant. However, this is not the tea from Lingxiu Tower. It was made by the second sister-in-law who personally picked the flowers of the century-old osmanthus in the garden last fall."
