Red makeup against the world

Chapter 131
While the two were talking, Mrs. Li arrived with Tu Manfen and Tu Manzhen.

After moving in at Xu's house, it was the first time for the mother and daughter to come to Green Bamboo Garden.Entering the yard, I saw that the subordinates were all cautious, busy but not messy, obviously well-trained.On the surrounding plain silk, the Chinese toon is vivid and fresh, full of spring.

After getting the report, Xu Wanzhen came out with Sang Zi.Ordinarily speaking, Li's seniority should be greeted by peers, but Qingzhuyuan has no other masters except grandparents, so Xu Wanzheng should welcome them.Fortunately, as she is currently in charge of Zhongfu, she will not be rude.

Xu Wanzhen saluted and said hello: "Hello to Auntie, First Cousin, and Second Cousin."

With a smile in his eyes, Mrs. Li praised: "Zhen'er, this arrangement is very ingenious. If I am a banquet guest in the future, I will also come to ask you to help."

Xu Wanzhen hurriedly said a few words of modesty, and welcomed them into the flower hall.

Tu Manfen followed behind Li Shi, with a calm expression on her face, but her heart became more and more jealous.This Xu Wan really has too many tricks.Tu Manzhen was quite curious when she saw the landscape on the plain silk, so she leaned forward to have a look.

The masters were talking in the flower hall, and only the personal maid served them.Painting Hall by Mrs. Li, Guiyu by Mrs. Yan, Yinping by Tu Manfen, and Swift by Mrs. Tu Manzhen.Cui Xiu waited outside the door together with those second-class maids.

Cui Xiu stood together with those little maids, looking extremely out of place.The little maids also knew that she had been neglected by Miss Tu Er recently, and kept looking at her curiously.She lowered her head slightly, without squinting her eyes, secretly clenched her fists, feeling a little nervous about what happened next.Encouraging myself in my heart: "It will be fine after today. Miss Xu said that when the banquet starts, when I see the last dish being served, I will just sprinkle the vegetable soup on the second lady."

The sky gradually darkened, and when it was Youshi, Tu Hongyi, Tu Bowen left the Yamen, and Tu Bosi also came back from the academy. They all changed their clothes and came to the Green Bamboo Garden.The lights were turned on in the garden, and Mrs. Tu compared the knowledge of the two grandchildren.

These days, Su Liangzhi found a medical clinic in central Beijing, and after giving acupuncture to old man Tu at noon every day, he went to Luoyang city to sit in the hall.At this time, I also came to the Green Bamboo Garden, checked the old man Tu's pulse, and said with a smile: "The old man's body is much better. It will be summer soon, and winter diseases will be cured in summer. After this summer, there should be no problems."

Old Master Tu twirled his beard, and said cheerfully: "As expected, he is worthy of being the little genius doctor of Jiangnan Road. Even the imperial doctor dare not say such affirmative words to me."

Feng Xing's family set up bowls, chopsticks and appetizers in the Nuan Pavilion, and Xu Wanzhen came to invite Mrs. Tu to the table.

Because they are all from their own family, there is no division of seats inside and outside. The men sit at one table and the female relatives sit at the same table.

Wu Niangzi helped Mrs. Tu into the Nuan Pavilion, and saw that there were only two large round tables here, and there was a large plum vase in the corner with a few apricot flowers inserted in it, and the surroundings were still surrounded by plain silk, but the rest of the furniture was fully furnished. No, I can't help but be a little surprised.Old Master Tu frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

The brothers and sisters of the Tu family, Mrs. Li, Cai Cai and others who followed behind him also had doubts.This toon banquet was organized by Xu Wanzhen, the interior and exterior of the Green Bamboo Garden were exquisitely arranged, it makes no sense that there is not even a screen in the Warm Pavilion.Only Mrs. Xu took a glance, and understood Xu Wan's true intentions, and a smile crept onto the corner of her mouth.

Xu Wanzhen stepped forward and replied: "Back to my great-grandfather, this place was changed into a warm pavilion a few days ago. Zhen'er has already ordered a screen and an arhat bed, but it will take time to deliver them."

Tu Bowen gradually tasted the taste of it. The Xu family lived here, and they actually went out to order furniture?Mother Lin's little calculations were suddenly exposed in front of everyone, and they could no longer hide them.This Xu Wanzhen is so young, she has so many thoughts, she can't help but glance at her.But seeing her respectful demeanor and courteous words, she was not sure if she did it on purpose?

Li and Yan lived in the back house for many years, but they were more sensitive to this matter than him.But today, Mrs. Lin went to the Great Compassion Temple again, not here, without even an excuse, her heart is in a bad mood.Although they were dissatisfied with Yan's behavior, they were still in the same room. If Yan's face was lost, they would also lose face.

Old Mrs. Tu looked angry, snorted coldly, and said, "Hongyi, so our house doesn't even have these pieces of furniture?"

Tu Hongyi hurriedly said: "Father calm down, it must be the negligence of the poor."

Wu Niangzi also persuaded: "Don't get angry, old man, today is a good day!" Remind him that this is a family banquet that Xu Wanzhen worked so hard on, so don't pursue it any further.

Old Mrs. Tu, however, came up with a bullish temper, and said stubbornly: "Don't worry about it, I have to ask clearly. Seriously, can you tell me?"

Xu Wanzhen saluted dignifiedly, and replied: "Going back to great-grandfather is not a big deal. A few days ago, my granddaughter changed this place into a warm pavilion. Tian Xing's family went to the 'Changhong Yuan' to ask the steward to get some furniture. It is said that it is inconvenient to open the warehouse during the rainy season these days. The granddaughter thought that it would be easier to order the furniture outside herself. It is the granddaughter who is not thinking carefully, so I ask my great-grandfather to punish me."

These few words were calm and calm, but made Tu Hongyi look ashamed.What is inconvenient to open the warehouse?It's not that Mrs. Lin is in a difficult situation.As a junior, Xu Wanzhen decided to find a way to solve it herself since Lin didn't give it to her.Now she is taking the responsibility on herself again, but it makes Lin Shi even more unbearable.

After listening to the old master Tu, he pointed at Tu Hongyi and said, "What is this called! Ask Mrs. Lin to come see me tomorrow morning."

Tu Hongyi responded, and Li Shi, Yan Shi and others all lost face.

Wu Niangzi supported Old Master Tu to sit down on the head, and told another joke, and the atmosphere eased up.Old Mrs. Tu raised his glass and chanted: "In February, when it rains in the valley of the mountain, Banpo's fragrant tea is dewy. May the weather be smooth this year and the world be peaceful!"

After everyone toasted and drank, they moved their chopsticks one by one.

All kinds of food made of Chinese toon are presented like flowing water.There are toon roasted tofu, toon fried shrimp, toon sprout omelet, toon rolls with tofu skin, toon layer cake, chicken shreds, toon green wheat noodles and so on.The Chinese toon has the function of appetizing and invigorating the spleen, and clearing away heat and dampness. Old Mr. Tu had a great appetite and added a bowl of rice.

The last dish is Chinese toon fish head. Only the most tender shoots of Chinese toon are taken, and they are slightly salted to make Chinese toon sauce.Only the head of the fat and tender bighead carp is cooked and topped with Chinese toon sauce.The freshness of the fish and the aroma of Chinese toon make it mouth-watering.

This is a big dish, and it is served on a large white porcelain crabapple pattern plate from Ru Kiln.The food served here by the female relatives is from the youngest great-grandchildren.Tu Manfen and Tu Manzhen sat together, followed by Xu Wanzhen.Xu Wenyu and Tu Ruizhang played together all afternoon, and now they are inseparable, sitting next to each other.

Cuixiu saw the old woman bring the last dish, and knew that the time had come, so she stepped forward to pour tea for Tu Manzhen.

When I backed away, I deliberately didn't know that my mother-in-law was serving the dishes. When I touched my elbow, I only heard "Oops", the plate of toon fish head was tilted, and the hot toon sauce was flowing down.
