Qinghe Pastoral

In the "Qinchunyuan" dormitory, the maid was dressing up Wang Hui, who got up late. Wang Hui looked at her face with black eye circles and bloodshot eyes in the bronze mirror, and the anger in her heart rose.

During the years, Mu Kangxin took in two beautiful concubines, both of whom were young and beautiful.Especially Zhang Wanqing from "Jingxuan", who gave birth to a boy five years ago, made Mu Kang even more coaxed.She is already getting old, and an inadvertent trace of the years will appear. She didn't sleep well last night. This face without rouge and gouache is really incomparable to the past.

He was staring at the face in the bronze mirror in a daze, but from the corner of his eye he saw Yunxiu entering the room.

"It's fine for Ruying to stay and serve, you guys go down first."

The maids withdrew as they said, and Yunxiu took over the duties of the maids just now, and she and Ruying dressed Wang Hui on the left and the right.

"how?"

There are many people serving in Wang Qiyuan's courtyard, but not many of whom she regards as confidantes, especially when the two concubines entered the mansion, Wang Hui herself was brought up by the concubines, so her words and deeds were extremely meticulous, lest she be taken advantage of. There is a loophole.

"Madam's doubts are not unreasonable. Seeing that he spends a lot of money and asks his servants about the custody of his mother's dowry, I'm afraid that it won't be long before he will open his mouth to take these things back."

Although Wang Hui had guessed, but confirmed it, her heart was full of anger. Seeing the distorted and ugly face in the mirror, she directly threw the gold inlaid jade bead flower in her hand.

The two maids were taken aback by Wang Hui's actions, and fell to their knees directly, not daring to make a sound.

"Bitch, want to take these things back from me, dreaming."

In the past ten years, apart from the fields, shops, and Zhuangzi, Bai Junyu's dowry has been moved a lot, including jewelry, silk and brocade.

"Ma'am, you should make plans early."

"Let me think about it, fortunately, the dowry list is in my hands, and Bai Junyan probably doesn't know how much dowry there is. If he comes to the door these two days, he will say that I am busy preparing for the banquet ten days later, and I have no time to see him. Alright, you guys do my makeup first, I'm going to Mrs. Liu's house today, it's not too late."

The two hurriedly got up from the ground and waited on Wang Hui carefully, fearing that if they did not serve well, they would offend Wang Hui who was upset.

Earlier, I heard Bai Junyan say that "Xi Ren Jian" is the most famous food shop in Dongzhou City. Lin Mu and Ji Ruixiu found it according to the words, and it was already very lively before noon.

"Is it the private room or the lobby?"

Not to mention the unique decoration of this restaurant, even Xiaoer's clothes are more exquisite, and one looks at it and thinks it is a place with a very high family background.The mistresses here welcome and send them off every day, and their prices are extremely high, and they are very good at serving guests.

"Lobby Bar 〇',

The food in the best restaurant in Dongzhou City is one of the things that come to Pinpin. I made such a fuss in Mufu yesterday, and I can tell a little about whether it has any effect just by listening to the diners in the restaurant.

"Okay, both of you, please follow me."

Xiaoer bowed and led the two to an empty table, served tea, and then asked what they wanted to order.

"I wonder what the signboard of your store is?"

"I don't know if you two want to order some main dishes or snacks?"

"Snacks are fine."

"Crystal buns, seafood crisps, and stewed crispy clear stewed snow pigeon soup. If guests like spicy food, the spicy soup is also good.

"Just do what you said〇"

"Okay, wait a moment, guest."

While waiting for the food, Lin Mu set up the surrounding area. Although it was a lobby, there were quite a few gorgeously dressed people. These wealthy people came to this food shop early in the morning, so it can be seen that the taste must be unmistakable.

After waiting for a while, the food ordered by the two arrived on the table.

The crystal buns are no more than the size of a fist, they are full, crystal clear, and steaming, I thought they were extremely chewy, but when I swallowed them, they turned out to be extremely soft, and the filling inside was even more delicious; The appearance is burnt yellow, and the mouth is crispy, even as a snack; the snow pigeon soup is milky white, just like its name, one bite? It can drive away the severe winter cold; But the soup is rich, spicy and delicious, and there are many fresh dishes that are hard to see in winter. It is not enough to eat this season.

"No wonder this store is so famous, the taste is really good."

Lin Mu was greedy for that bowl of hot and spicy cooking, and his small mouth was bright red, which was very attractive? Ji Ruixiu's eyes were full of emotions, and he kept chanting about this annoying little fairy.

"Although this food is delicious, after all, it tastes too strong. Eat less, or you will have a stomachache."

Although Lin Mu responded, the frequency of moving his chopsticks did not decrease at all.

"Yo, Master Liu, are you here?"

Xiao Er's high-pitched flattery attracted the attention of many customers in the restaurant. They saw a gorgeously dressed young master with handsome eyebrows and bright eyes. The only strange thing was that Da Dong was still holding The fan, at first glance, is a showy person.

"My grandma wants to eat crystal buns, remember, the softer the steamed the better."

??Young master Liu is really filial. Today is the old lady's [-]th birthday. Let's also wish the old lady a blessing like the East China Sea and a longevity like Nanshan. "

"You can really talk, here, I reward you, be quick, there are a lot of things at home today."

Xiaoer took the money from Young Master Liu, and his face became even more joyful.

"Although it's only a short time, Young Master Liu can sit and wait. I'll make you a pot of tea. It's very warm in this cold weather."

Xiao Er led Mr. Liu to an empty table, which happened to be opposite Lin Mu and the others.

Not long after, two more noble sons came to the door, but they came straight to the middle master Liu.

"Brother Liu, today is your grandmother's birthday, why did you come to the restaurant so early in the morning?"

"Brother Hu, Brother Qi, it's not that grandma wants to eat crystal buns, so I came to buy them for grandma early in the morning."

"Brother Liu's talent is really nothing to say, I think this time Chunwei will definitely be able to go to high school and firmly beat the Mu family."

It was an ordinary chat, but because it involved the Mu family, Lin Mu was immediately attracted.

"That's right, what kind of character Mu Xianhua used to be in Dongzhou, others don't know we don't know? He is the child of a small concubine in a small family. I heard that the serious son of the Mu family, Mu Xianchen He didn't die, but he appeared at the flower viewing banquet yesterday. The current lady of the Mu Mansion moved his mother's dowry and took it off in front of everyone. The lady Mu's hair was disheveled like a crazy woman on the spot. Passed out."

Ben was a handsome son, and he didn't hide anything about other people's family affairs.

"really?"

Mr. Liu opened his eyes wide as if he had heard something terrible, and he didn't even care about the carefully packaged crystal bag brought by Xiao Er.

"My mother went to the flower viewing banquet yesterday. Of course it can't be wrong. Now many people in Dongzhou have spread the word. I heard that Mu Xianchen is extremely handsome, but I don't think he has a decisive personality. That's why When you come back, you dare to embarrass the lady in charge, and you are not afraid to wear little shoes for him."

Listening to the heated discussion between the three, Lin Mu almost couldn't hold back his laughter. Is this how the Dongzhou rich people spread the news of yesterday?

"This Mrs. Mu touched the things of her deceased mother, and no one can bear it. I heard from my mother that when the white man married a daughter with ten miles of red makeup, she went from the Bai mansion to the Mu mansion all the way. The Mu family is not a family at all, and Mrs. Mu was carried up by a concubine from a small family. The current scenery of the Mu Mansion is not due to the dowry of Mrs. Bai. Now that Mu Xianchen is back, these things are so beautiful. But it's all his, even if you sue the Holy Majesty, it's the same reason. Back then, it was only a year after Mrs. Bai died, and Mu Xianchen's yard caught fire. Is there no secret?"

"Brother Hu said so, but what news do you have?"

Since the reputation of the Hu family has gradually grown, the friendship between Mrs. Hu and Bai Junyu is no secret. Even the son of a wealthy family can't help but hear it.

"That's not true, but who's backyard isn't private? I see that the Mu family will not be at peace when Mu Xiansheng comes back. Speaking of which, this happened only yesterday, so does Mrs. Mu still have the face to celebrate her birthday today? "

Seeing that the two of them were about to talk again, Mr. Liu seemed to remember why he went out, and left quickly.

"Today is my grandmother's birthday. Liu really can't delay it. Brother Hu and Brother Qi will come to the door later. I will take my leave now."

"Naturally, Mr. Liu is involved in many things today, so go back quickly."

Mr. Liu hurried out of the restaurant, and Mr. Hu and Mr. Qi's food was also served on the table. Rich and noble people pay attention to eating without talking or sleeping, so the two also put down their chatter and began to enjoy the food.

??Small [-]"

Listening to the chatter of the three sons, Lin Mu and Ji Ruixiu also finished their breakfast, because the crystal bag was really delicious, soft, and suitable for Nanny Zhou, so Lin Mu ordered Xiao Er to make some more packs Take it away, thinking about the time should be fine.

"What other orders do you two have?"

"Is the crystal bag I want to take away packed?"

"OK OK."

Lin Mu and Ji Ruixiu settled the bill with Xiao Er, took the crystal bag and went to Bai's house.

As soon as the two of them left the restaurant, Mr. Hu gave a "huh" in some doubts, causing Mr. Qi to ask curiously.

"The two sons who just left the house have extraordinary bearing, but they have never seen each other before. Which family are they from?"'

Mr. Qi has a baby face, and he is also a full-fledged foodie. He just struggled with food, but he didn't see any handsome young masters, so he casually replied: "Although we all know the famous young masters in Dongzhou, But maybe it’s a newcomer who just came to Dongzhou, or it may be a foreigner passing through our Dongzhou, brother Hu, don’t think about it, this crystal bag is so delicious, you have to eat it while it’s hot.”

Mr. Hu felt that it made sense so he stopped thinking about it and concentrated on solving the table of delicacies.

But one day, Mu Xianchen, the original wife of the Mu family, did not die at all, and returned to the Mu family in good condition. In addition, the scene that happened at the flower viewing banquet yesterday was passed on to ten or ten to a hundred, adding fuel and vinegar, and various versions quickly spread It spread in Dongzhou.
