Chapter 202 Sisterhood (2)
Ruoxi knitted a raglan sweater, the sleeves were woven from the neckline, naturally there was no seam.Several girls who were following Master Huang to learn female reds surrounded them, they were both surprised and curious.

Seventh Miss Caixia of the third room happened to have a mouth like a noble concubine, she pulled Ruoxi's clothes and said coquettishly: "I knew that Second Sister-in-law would have such a superb skill, why should we learn from Master Huang? This is really in front of us." The real Buddha who doesn’t spend money doesn’t know how to worship, but takes money to pray to the gods in small temples.”

"How can I compare with Master Huang? It's just that I used to live on a farm. There was a large flock of sheep in the farm, and a lot of the sheared wool was piled up in the house. I saw that the good wool was wasted, so I put it away. They are kneaded into woolen threads, and they can be woven into clothes. It is light and warm to wear under the coat, and it looks less bulky than cotton clothes. Now it is the time for changing seasons, and it is just right to take off the cotton clothes, so I knit I bought one. It's not something that is hard to come by, but it really didn't cost a penny." Ruoxi smiled and replied: "That set of jewelry is a congratulatory gift, and this sweater is just a foil."

Seeing this, Tian Shi curled her lips secretly, although she also wanted to take a closer look at that sweater, but she held back the thought of Ruoxi taking the limelight again.

She thought for a while and said with a smile: "Gifts always pay attention to the heart, why should the second sister-in-law worry about how much money to spend? It's all a filial piety to the old lady. If you have money, you will use your silver. If you don't have money, you will use your strength. What about the old lady?" I haven't seen such a good thing, how can I be so curious about our juniors' stuff?"

The second wife's eyes lit up when she heard what the daughter-in-law said, she thought to herself that this daughter-in-law has opened up her mind, not only did she try to hug her son, but she is also so pretentious when she speaks.Hmph, the second kid's daughter-in-law's background is so low that it cannot be lowered. She was originally destined to be a concubine, but by accident, she became the main wife.Given her family background, she is not an honest and low-key person, but loves to show off in front of the old matriarch, she is really hated by others!

When she heard her daughter-in-law teasing Ruoxi that she didn't have much money, she felt extremely refreshed.Looking at Ruoxi's faint smile, she became annoyed again, I really don't know if she pretended not to understand or really didn't understand, why didn't she react at all?
How could Ruoxi jump because of Tian's words?This is not her character, and she never engages in verbal disputes.The old matriarch took a sip of tea after glancing at everyone's expressions, but the concubine Fang Gui smiled and joked: "The third nephew and daughter-in-law love that set of jewelry, so you regret it now?"

"The third aunt was joking, since she took it out as a gift, how could she feel distressed and regret it?" She hurriedly replied, "That set of jewelry can only be worn by the old lady to give it a sense of dignity. Taijun is the best use of everything."

"The third niece and daughter-in-law are real adults, and can't bear jokes! Look, she actually took my words seriously." Concubine Fang Gui laughed.

The second wife also smiled and said: "No matter what you say, she is her elder, how can she not take what you say to heart? Today is the old lady's birthday, everyone is happy, so don't scare the younger generation."

"Second sister-in-law, this mother-in-law really has nothing to say, she loves her daughter-in-law more than a girl." Concubine Fang Gui replied seemingly unintentionally, but saw the second wife's eyes flash.

The last time the Tian family made a big fuss in Rongjia Hutong, the old lady once said that the second wife, the mother-in-law, indulged her daughter-in-law too much.As soon as Concubine Fang said this, she glanced at the old matriarch with a guilty conscience, and secretly resented Concubine Fang in her heart.

Relying on being a relative of the old concubine, this noble concubine was favored by the old dowager, and her words were more wanton than the serious third wife.It's not because she is easy to bear children, she gave birth to a son and two daughters one after another like laying eggs, and the third wife has no children of her own for many years, which makes her even more defiant.

It's all right for her to be domineering in the third room, but now she tramples on the second room with her words from time to time, every time she speaks out to help the first room, she really hates people.It seems that she made up her mind to flatter the eldest son, hmph, the position of son has not been settled yet, wait until Yihao has a son!Sooner or later, there will be a day when she will regret it, let her be proud for a few days, and say that Potian is still a concubine!
Thinking of this, the second wife replied with a smile: "Is our family a shabby household that treats our daughter-in-law harshly? Besides, I have only raised one daughter in total. I wish she was my daughter. It hurts and scolds, but she doesn't care about it." Keep grudges in mind."

The old matriarch interrupted their conversation by putting down the teacup, and said to Mrs. Hou: "Boss and the others have already gone to the front to welcome guests. You should go to the garden and watch first. If there are guests, don't lose your manners."

Madam Hou heard the words and got up and replied: "I'll take Ruoxi there, and if the guests come around, I'll send someone to invite the old matriarch." Seeing the old matriarch nod, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left.

Today's weather is very good, there is no wind at all, which makes Ruoxi feel a little relaxed.She helped design the old matriarch's birthday party, and the venue was chosen in the garden. It would not be beautiful if it was rainy or windy on a cloudy day.

In the middle of the garden, there is a path paved with gravel that is as wide as two carriages, which has been covered with scarlet plush carpet at present.On both sides are two rows of south rosewood tables, covered with pure white brocade with pink peach blossoms, which grow to the ground and reflect the green grass, which is very beautiful.

The girl and the woman were putting things on the table in an orderly manner. Shiny silver plates, forks, chopsticks, and all kinds of snacks were arranged in beautiful shapes and placed on large plates.Horseshoe cake, red date cake, glutinous rice cakes, wishful cakes... as long as you can think of desserts, you can find them on the table.Next to it are plates of fruit platters, as well as Ruoxi's special vegetable and fruit salad.

"How are the crystal dumplings and soup dumplings?" Ruoxi hurriedly asked when she saw the mother-in-law in the kitchen.

"If you go back to the second grandma, it has already been steamed in the wok, and the wok can be ready when the guests come. In addition, the fried things have already been oiled once, and it is enough to fry them again when they are waiting to be served." back.

Ruoxi nodded upon hearing this. The buffet this time is a mix of Chinese and Western styles. There are not only various pastries, fruits, etc., but also small fried balls, golden jujubes, sweet potatoes, potato chips, boneless ribs simmered with seasoning, chicken Crispy bones, fresh prawns, packed fish and more.In order to maintain the taste and temperature, Ruoxi asked the cook to make it medium rare first, and then cook it when the banquet starts.

There are a total of 56 kinds of pastries and dishes, which happen to be the same age as the old lady.Ruoxi also ordered people to prepare various juices and drinks, put them in different jugs and put labels on them.At that time, the girl will put a few pots on the tray and shuttle through the crowd at any time to meet the needs of the guests.

In front of Yonglu are scattered tables and chairs for guests to rest when they are tired, and a high platform is set up at the front.

There are many potted flowers placed at the front of the table, which is really surprising when viewed from a distance.Ruoxi walked to the back of the stage, and saw several female musicians sitting and tuning the strings.
