Chapter 203

The girls of the Xue family watched their friends leave. They were interested when they saw a carriage stop at the side gate. The servant girls were busy urging them to leave and avoid.

They hid behind the flower window and covered their faces with Kesi flower fans, revealing a pair of curious eyes.

The servant handed the invitation, and the porter sent someone to Liuxian hall.

Looking at that direction, the girls understood in an instant.

"Count the time. It's time for her to entertain."

"Hee hee, I heard she hired a cook herself, but according to her monthly silver, even if she invited people, I'm afraid there's no material to do it."

"No, I heard Hongling say that she invited the cook to be at a loss about a pile of flowers. What decent food can some flowers make? Later, she added her own money and bought materials. There were not many materials. Mandarin fish could barely enter the eye, but it was so big that it was a little difficult to make a big dish. " She gesticulated the size, covered her mouth and snickered, gloating.

This "she" refers to six girls, who had never heard of this person more than ten years ago. But one day, their grandfather and father brought back a country girl who said that she was weak since childhood and grew up in the countryside. Now she took her home just after the disaster. Those who let them be sisters should respect their sisters and those who do should be courteous to their sisters. The first day they came back, they changed their ranking. Because of the birth of the six girls, girls of 16 and below forcibly postponed their ranking for more than ten years to teach them how to be convinced.

They were not satisfied that she was not allowed to attend the cultural banquet and poetry and painting meeting at home. Later, although she did not show her face in the poetry and painting meeting, she was allowed to entertain her friends in the Liuxian hall and invite a cook. They didn't think so on the face, but they were envious of it from the bottom of their hearts.

The five girls who had not yet left the cabinet looked on coldly: "after all, it's our family who makes others laugh and feel proud? My Xue girl is so narrow-minded? What's the difference between you and village women? "

She turned and left, and the remaining girls felt hot on their faces.

The youngest of the twelve girls was in a rebellious period. Her grandparents suddenly turned their eyes on Xue Liu. She felt that she had become a cabbage that her father didn't love her mother, and her grandparents didn't love her. She didn't know what to do. She hated Xue Liu's soft and weak appearance. Instead, she wanted to see Xue Liu's embarrassed appearance when she entertained guests, I couldn't listen to my sisters' advice: "hum, I have to see it!"

……

Liuxian hall.

Indoor flowers are green, with small branches and leaves. There are many green leaves interspersed with small pearls. They can't be placed in slender bottles like nocturnal healing, but the wind blows and fills the room with fragrance.

The maid brought in guests.

When she stepped into the room, she untied the curtain cap and handed it to the maid. Under her smooth forehead, a little plum blossom makeup is particularly beautiful. When others see her, she will be attracted by that little falling plum, rather than pay attention to her slightly longer earlobe than ordinary people.

As soon as she saw someone, Miss Xue Liu greeted him, took the visitor's hands and affectionately called, "Chengxin."

"Read childish."

"How are you all the way? Will the sun be too fierce?" Xue Nianzhi takes Liu Chengxin to the couch and asks.

Liu Chengxin shook his head with a smile“ I heard that when you were taken back to Xue's house, I didn't quite believe it. There's nothing I'm not used to? "

"It's like a dream." Xue Nianzhi smiled.

When Lvping brought tea and cakes, Liu Chengxin picked up the cup and moved his nose. Dai Mei stretched and praised: "it's so elegant. Is it to soak the aroma of tea in the unopened lotus?"

Look at the lotus crisp in the dark porcelain plate. It's small and exquisite. Be bold and you can eat it in one bite. She can't put it down. She takes a taste of it. It's fragrant and crisp. Layers of pastry are crisped in her mouth, and finally there's the taste of Lotus antler.

Fortunately, it's not big. It's not afraid to spill it with a handkerchief, otherwise the pastry will be broken all over, which will be indecent.

"Yes, it was made by the cook I specially invited."

After dessert, they began to talk about poetry and painting.

Liu Chengxin brought some pictures. After they cleaned their hands, they took them to the desk to appreciate them.

Xue Nianzhi comes from Nanxun and Liu Cheng lives in the capital. Their meeting began in childhood. By chance, because they have the same hobbies, they sympathize with each other. After that, they exchanged letters and hearts on paper for several years until Xue Nianzhi was received in the capital and became Miss Xue Liu. Taking advantage of poetry and painting meetings and small banquets, they sent invitations to Liu Cheng's heart and invited her to come. When they grew up, the two girls met for the first time, Intimacy transcends the estrangement between time and space.

"Hey, twelve girls, our girls are entertaining guests."

"Why, I can't come to see my sister as a sister? Get out of the way! "

There was a commotion outside the Liuxian hall. Xue 12 stepped in with great strides, turned left and right, and soon locked the person she was looking for. Lvping hurried behind her, like a quail with a necked up, and like a defeated cock, afraid to look up.

"Twelve sisters, what are you doing?" Xue Nianzhi asked.

Xue twelve's eyes fell on Liu Chengxin's eyebrows and earlobes, and then quickly swept her clothes. He already recognized her identity. He secretly said that Xue Liu had no luck to know Liu Chengxin of the Liu family in Hedong.

"It was sister Chengxin. Let me see the guests of sister six. " Xue was innocent. "I'll listen to what you're talking about."

"If only you weren't bored." Xue Nianzhi picked up her eyebrows and didn't drive her away. She asked her to keep it. She continued to appreciate it with Liu Chengxin. They were interested in poetry together and left Xue twelve alone.

It's dinner time and it's not dark yet.

Seeing the sky, Xue was excited and encouraged Liu Chengxin to stay for dinner. Her sixth sister specially invited the cook to cook.

Xue Nianzhi smiled and whispered to Lvping, "Lvping, go and have a look."

"Girl, it's ready. You can serve at any time."

"Arrange it." After she explained, she said to Liu Chengxin that dinner was ready. After dinner, she looked at the picture and glanced at Xue twelve. Xue twelve looked back at her skillfully and innocently. Xue Nianzhi said again, "Twelve sisters are also going to stay for dinner?"

"Obedience is better than respect. Thank you for your hospitality!" Xue twelve smiled and showed his tiger teeth, as if he were demonstrating.

The cold dish is rice lotus root.

Jiangmi is stuffed with lotus root holes. The slices are stacked neatly. Poured with rose brine, it is sweet and does not stick to the teeth. It is very palatable after freezing.

Serve the second course while they eat.

This is a delicious dish, elegant and pleasant.

As soon as it was served, it attracted the attention of the people present.

In the jade white bowl, a white lotus canopy floats on the clear soup. The lotus canopy is embedded with several green lotus seeds and dotted with lotus leaves. It is the same as transplanting and planting the lotus canopy in the pond in the bowl.

"Is this a bowl of lotus?" Xue twelve was stunned. For a moment, he felt whether it was in the wrong place. It should not appear at the dinner table, but beside the desk of literati.

Lvping: "this is lotus bean curd."
