Yang Jinxi said as she suddenly remembered what she had said.
Fu Ninghui clapped her hands and laughed, "That's good! Sister Jin Xi's family's chef is really pretty, not like ours, we can do whatever we want, but if it's convenient, can Sister Jin Xi copy the prescription, I will have my family's chef learn how to do it. "
She did not reject him immediately, and even made the invitation for the next round, which could be considered as giving face to Fu Ninghui.
"This idea is not bad, but I don't know what the sisters from the other two families would say." Xu Minglan expressed his agreement before Xu Mingmei and Xu Mingwei could do anything.
"We'll discuss this when the Su family and Zhou family come here." Although Fu Ninghui said that, she had already planned it out, "Next time, Mu Xiu and I will go to Sister Jin Xi's house to have a taste of her cooking, who will be the next to go? Sister Xu, what's so interesting about your house?"
Xu Minglan looked at Xu Mingwei and laughed, "There is nothing much to see in the rooms of the few of us, there are just many strange things in the rooms of the Seventh Sister, some little people who can spurt water, some lamps made by lamps masters in Jiang-Nan city, and a lot of paintings by famous experts, even if you go there, you would not be able to see it."
Xu Mingwei was displeased in her heart, and said indifferently, "Fifth Sister, you shouldn't use your little sister as a joke. Whoever sitting here doesn't have many new things in their room, must have seen it yourself."
Yang Jinxi also looked at Xu Minglan with a frown. It was fine if you were to use the things in her room to talk, but what does it mean to use the things in others' houses to show your gratitude?
However, Fu Ninghui laughed, "Seventh Sister is an exquisite person, even if there is nothing special about it, you will not get tired of watching it for the whole day."
These words made everyone start laughing at Xu Mingwei, but it made her blush instead.
"Where did the Sister Ning Hui learn to be so glib, you started to tease me instead." Xu Mingwei pretended to be angry at Fu Ninghui, causing everyone to laugh even more.
Xu Mingmei said at this time, "If everyone really comes, then we will set up a table in the courtyard of Seventh Sister, and put it under the crystal flower rack. At this time, the roses in the courtyard of the Seventh Sister bloomed extremely well. They were pink and tender, and when the wind blew, it would make a head full of petals. "
They discussed for a while about what topic they should focus on, but before they could come to a conclusion, the Nanny Xue had already brought the two Zuo sisters and Zhou Ranxing in.
Zhou Ranxing wore a bright red, narrow sleeved robe that wrapped around the waist. The bottom of her sleeves and the front of her clothes were rolled around with deep blue silk threads. As soon as she walked in, everyone looked at her carefully.
Xu Minglan praised her, "The red dress that little sister Ran Xing is wearing is so beautiful. To be able to wear such a good red, only little sister Ran Xing is wearing it."
The two Zuo Family sisters were walking at the back. Zuo Youzhu was also dressed in red today, and inside was an extremely transparent silk robe with a red bottom embroidery dress.
Zuo Youzhu had always been a timid person with a low self-esteem, but when she heard that Xu Minglan was praising him in the house, she slowed down her pace even a little. It was still Zuo Youlan who understood her intentions.
The few people in the room also saw the two Zuo family sisters walking at the back, and were all dressed in the same gown and skirt, just that Zuo Youlan's was green, while Zuo Youzhu's was red, and was slightly embarrassed. Xu Minglan was also obviously startled when she saw Zuo Youzhu, and quickly reacted, laughing towards the two Zuo family sisters, "The Left family sister is wearing a very unique outfit today, why is the blouse so light and transparent, and what kind of muslin is used?"
Since she didn't know which of the two sisters was which, she decided to call them the 'younger sister' of the Zuo family. If it was someone else, then Xu Minglan's current state could be considered as round. However, with Zuo Youzhu's personality, how could he, who was beaten head on and was unable to come out, hear Xu Minglan's question, and only care about her own sadness.
Xu Minglan suffered from the cold treatment, and her face did not look good. Fu Ninghui smiled as she stepped forward and shook Zuo Youlan's hand, and asked, "That's right, when the little sisters from the Zuo family came in, I wanted to ask them a question. "This blouse is so beautiful. It's transparent and bright. It doesn't cover the skirt underneath, but looks a bit unique. Sister You Lan, can you tell us which house in the capital made this fabric?"
Zuo Youlan was slightly surprised. She and Zuo Youzhu were extremely similar in life, and even her family often admitted their wrongs. How did Fu Ninghui learn to recognize which one of them was in just a few short days?
The reason why Fu Ninghui could recognize the twins in one glance was not because of anything else, but because of the expressions on their faces. As the big sister, Zuo Youlan was a little more daring. When their eyes faced each other, she was not as dodgy as Zuo Youzhu, thus when the two of them first entered the door, Fu Ninghui quickly recognized who it was: Zuo Youlan and who it was actually Zuo Youzhu.
Amidst his shock, Zuo Youlan finally did not forget to answer the question that Fu Ninghui had asked her before, and said softly, "It was not bought by the capital, but our aunt sent someone over from the south a month ago. I think it was fresh goods from the merchant ships of Nan Yang, there are some other materials at home, if Sister Ning Hui likes it, come and visit some other time, and pick one that you like."
Fu Ninghui clapped her hands and laughed, "Really, whatever you say will come. Little Sister You Lan, before you all came here, we were still talking about Mu Xiu taking turns to visit your family every time. This time, when you play at my house, the next time you meet up with Little Sister Jin Xi, and the next time you go to Seventh Sister's, not everything has been set in stone.
Hearing her excited words, Zuo Youzhu also stuck his head out from behind his sister. His eyes suddenly fell on Lian Qiubai who was leaning on the bed and stared blankly.
Fu Ninghui joked, "Little Sister You Zhu thinks that I, Qiu Bai, am pretty, right? If you are a man, then I will decide on behalf of my cousin to marry you."
Lian Qiubai blushed and said, "Cousin, don't speak nonsense."
Zuo Youzhu also blushed and explained softly, "I only looked at this big sister a little more because she looked unfamiliar. Elder sister, please don't take offense. "
The last sentence was said to Lian Qiubai.
Fu Ninghui introduced Lian Qiu Bai to the two sisters again. Everyone greeted each other and came to know each other, and not long after, Nanny Xue brought the girls to invite them.
"Young lady, the things in the garden have been taken care of, but please take a seat in the pavilion."
Everyone agreed as they followed Fu Ninghui and the Fu Clan's female servants out of the courtyard. After passing through an arched door made from glass, they saw a vast expanse in front of them. The flowers, plants and trees were all neatly drawn, revealing a small path that separated the three of them in parallel, forming a circle around the entire garden.
Fu Ninghui saw that Xu Mingwei was staring at the small path and explained, "At home, everyone has the habit of waking up early to train, the small garden is at the back, the place is quiet, and it is mainly for the female servants to do their work."
Xu Mingwei nodded her head, and sighed in her heart, as expected from a family that came from a martial general background, even their daughter did not lower herself to the ground, and continued to train every day.
"In front of us is the Feng Hua Pavilion. The Western Bell that I told you about previously is also inside the Feng Hua Pavilion." Fu Ninghui pointed to the front, and said to the group with a smile.
Xu Mingwei was puzzled, hadn't she seen someone put a clock in the pavilion, and wasn't someone afraid of the wind blowing it to the side, causing it to break? There shouldn't be any stainless steel right now...
Only after arriving at the place did she realize that this person was called Feng Hua Ting. Behind him was also a pretty big courtyard. The room was carpeted with cashmere, with a low table and carved windows on all sides. There was no veil on the window, presumably to make it easier for the people sitting in the room to see the light. Just as she was thinking about what she should do with the heavy rain, she saw that there was a piece of curtain hanging from the window. She could remove it when she was using it, and she couldn't help but marvel at the ingenuity of the person who designed the pavilion.
Xu Mingmei had already seen the Western Bell at the back of the main seat. It was placed at a height taller than her by half a head, it was a bronze gilded clock, on the huge plate there were some carved vertical forks, she could not understand what it meant. Three of the needles were interesting. The thinnest one moved the fastest. After passing through a circle of surfaces, the middle needle moved forward a meter while the shortest one stayed still.
