Chapter 212 Lifting the Foot Banquet by Banquet
Among the people who saw him off, Song Ruoxi saw Su Nianjin who had not appeared for a long time. She was wearing a water-red spring outfit, with a bright face as peach and plum, with gentle and lovely eyebrows and eyes, and delicate as flowers blooming in spring...
A strange look flashed in Song Ruoxi's eyes. Her aunt and cousin were both confined to the ground and lost her backing. She should be worried and depressed. How could she look radiant? Has she found another backing? Who could it be? She looked at her shimmering gaze, and Ye Fan listened to Ye Xiaoliang's words with a serious look on his face.
No way!
Do you have a husband with your aunt and nephew?
Song Ruoxi was frightened by this evil thought. Although no one knew about it, he still looked away with guilt.
After saying goodbye, Ye Xiaoliang took his followers onto the carriage and left.
"Yu Xian." Ye Fan suddenly called out.
Song Ruoxi took a step forward and bowed and said, "My daughter-in-law is here."
"The day after tomorrow is the Shangsi Festival on the third day of the third month. In previous years, the Liushang Banquet in Qichun Garden was all managed by your mother, and this year it will be your responsibility." Ye Fan assigned the matter to Song Ruoxi in an understatement.
"Father, this is the first time that my daughter-in-law holds such a banquet. She has no experience and is afraid of making mistakes and making people laugh. She also asked her father to allow her to go to Danningju to ask her mother for advice." Song Ruoxi knew that Ye Shuhua didn't say anything, but she was still worried about her mother who was confined and took the opportunity to provide conditions to see the Lord of Zhaoping County.
"Accurate."
"Thank you, father." Song Ruoxi's eyes turned slightly, and he tried Ye Fan with great difficulty. "Father, can my daughter-in-law invite her mother to attend tomorrow's Liushang Banquet?"
Ye Fanlang smiled and said, "You are the master of Liushang Banquet the day after tomorrow. Who do you want to invite, you will decide who you want to do."
"Thank you, father." Song Ruoxi's thanks was much more sincere than just now.
Ye Fan's attitude is actually an indirect agreement to resolve the confinement order of Zhaoping County Lord.
Ye Shuhua raised her lips and smiled, looking at Song Ruoxi's eyes as tender as water.
"Uncle of the city lord, Ping'er also wants to see his aunt, please allow him." Ping'er suddenly said.
Ye Fan looked at Ping'er and smiled and said, "It's hard for you to think of your aunt, so let's go with your cousin's wife."
"Uncle Thank you." Ping'er bowed and bowed.
Ye Fan smiled and led Ye Shuhua, Ye Xiaojing, Ye Xiaogong and his servants took the lead.
Ping'er walked to Song Ruoxi, reached out to hold her arm, and said with a smile: "Cousin-law, let's go."
Song Ruoxi was stunned for a moment. Although she was not used to being so close to her, she couldn't pull out her arms stiffly, and went to Danning with her with a slightly stiff expression. Since the Zhaoping County Lord was confined, Song Ruoxi had never met Ping'er. A month ago, after her consent, Mrs. Bian took away the people from the training department.
After learning the rules, Ping'er no longer arrogantly beat and scolded the maids. He kept his door and copied Buddhist books and embroidered and played the piano. He was much more obedient than before, just like a different person. Song Ruoxi didn't believe it at first, but when he saw him today, there was a big change.
Before entering the door of Danningju, Song Ruoxi smelled the strange smell and wrinkled his nose.
"My cousin's wife can't smell this." Ping'er curled her lips, "I can't smell it either. She said that the Grain Rain season is not a good year on the first day of the New Year, but in fact, it's all a bit of perplexing words."
Song Ruoxi smiled and didn't respond. She was still not used to Ping'er's friendly attitude and felt awkward.
When Madam Zhou saw the two of them coming in hand in hand, she was stunned for a moment, and went forward, and saluted with a smile: "I would like to pay my respects to the young lady, and to pay my respects to Miss Ping."
"Mum Zhou doesn't have to be polite. My cousin and I are here to see my aunt." Ping'er spoke first.
"Mrs. I am not in the room, I am enjoying flowers in the garden in the backyard. Please come with me." Seeing that Ping'er didn't understand the rules, Madam Zhou snatched in front of Song Ruoxi and was displeased. She deliberately refused to mention her, hinting that she knew what she had to say here.
"Please, Madam Zhou." Song Ruoxi took the opportunity to pull out his arm and made a gesture of inviting him.
A hint of annoyance flashed in Ping'er's eyes.
From the Zhuanshou Pai to the small garden in the backyard, along the path, and passing through a small bamboo forest, you can see the Lord Zhaoping sitting on the soft couch of the octagonal pavilion in the garden, and a little maid holding a beauty and pounding her legs.
"Madam, the young lady is here to pay your respects to you." Madam Zhou reported.
The Zhaoping County Lord opened his eyes and smiled and said, "Yuxian, you are here."
"My daughter-in-law pays me a blessing to my mother." Song Ruoxi bowed.
"Pinger pays me a blessing to my aunt, my aunt will be blessed." Pinger bowed.
"No need to be polite, come in and sit down and talk." County Lord Zhaoping sat upright and waved with a smile.
Song Ruoxi and Ping'er walked into the pavilion and sat down on the stone pier.
After a few greetings, Song Ruoxi explained his purpose, "Mother, the day after tomorrow is Shangsi Festival. My father asked my daughter-in-law to prepare a banquet for Liushang. My daughter-in-law was afraid that she would not do it well, so she wanted to ask her mother for Madam Zhou to help."
"Okay, no problem." The Lord of Zhaoping agreed.
"Thank you, mother."
"Auntie, Ping'er is also willing to help his cousin's wife." Ping'er volunteered.
The Zhaoping County Lord smiled and scolded: "You naughty, don't make trouble for your cousin's wife."
"Auntie, Ping'er helped her aunt last year, and her aunt praised Ping'er and said that Ping'er was good at making it. This year, Ping'er has the experience of last year and will definitely do it better and will never cause trouble for her cousin's wife." Ping'er said with a pout.
The Zhaoping County Lord did praise Ping'er last year, and it was difficult to slap himself, so he had to say, "Yuxian, let Ping'er go to Qichun Garden with you to have fun."
"Okay, mother." Song Ruoxi's eyes flashed slightly. This is the purpose of Ping'er following him!
"Auntie, my uncle promised to let you attend the Liushang Banquet tomorrow." Ping'er's words revealed that the Lord of Zhaoping was able to attend the Liushang Banquet because she asked Ye Fan for love.
The smile on the face of the Zhaoping County Lord retracted and said lightly: "Yuxian, go and tell the city lord that I am not in good health and will not attend the Liushang Banquet tomorrow."
Song Ruoxi glanced at Ping'er, stood up and sat next to the Lord of Zhaoping, held her arm, and said softly: "Mother, I am very scared when I hosted such a banquet for the first time. I just thank you for your hard work, please go and suppress the daughter-in-law. With you here, my daughter-in-law is more courageous. Mother, you can go and attend."
The Lord of Zhaoping looked at her and smiled without saying a word.
"Mother, just promise your daughter-in-law! It's really bad for the daughter-in-law without you! Mother, mother." Song Ruoxi shook her hard.
"Madam, seeing how the young lady said so pitiful, just promise the young lady!" Madam Zhou smiled and helped.
"My cousin is so old, she still acts coquettishly towards her aunt." Ping'er covered her mouth and smiled, with a hint of contempt flashing in her eyes.
Song Ruoxi glanced at her and raised her eyebrows and said, "No matter how old I am, I am still my mother's daughter-in-law. What's the embarrassment of my daughter-in-law acting cute to her mother?"
"Okay, okay, my mother promised you." The Lord of Zhaoping patted Song Ruoxi's face and chuckled, "Oh, don't shake it anymore, shake it again, your mother's old bones will be shaken apart."
"My mother is not old at all. When she goes out, people think she is my sister." Song Ruoxi smiled.
"The young lady is right, the lady looks like she is in her early twenties." Madam Zhou said intrigue.
The Zhaoping County Lord smiled so hard that he could not see his teeth. He pointed at Madam Zhou and cursed: "Just let it go, you old guy will follow you."
After joking for a while, Song Ruoxi made an appointment with Madam Zhou, waiting at the gate of Dongyuan, and then got up and wanted to leave.
Ping'er sat down and said sweetly: "Auntie, Ping'er hasn't had a meal with you for a long time."
"Today's dish is steamed sheep with milk. If you don't see the sun, your child's house will not be able to eat it." County Lord Zhaoping refused politely.
The smile on Ping'er's face froze for a moment, and she had to get up and leave.
Song Ruoxi pursed her lips and endured her smile.
After leaving Danningju, Ping'er smiled and said, "My cousin, let's see you later."
"See you later." Song Ruoxi pulled the corner of her mouth.
Song Ruoxi returned to Dongyuan and handled the common affairs. When she returned to her room, she was about to lie down to rest. Xiangxiu came over with a belt. "Mrs. Young Madam, this flower has been embroidered with a wrong needle."
Song Ruoxi glanced at it and said indifferently: "I just got a wrong needle and couldn't tell it, so there is no need to remove it."
"Mrs., it's not that one wrong shot is wrong, it's that three wrong shots."
Song Ruoxi snarled his mouth, "Xiangxiu, do you ask not to be so strict, okay?"
"No." Xiang Xiu stuffed her belt into her hand, "I will help you thread it."
"It's very troublesome, I have to tear a lot." Song Ruoxi looked at Xiangxiu pitifully, "Can you help me do it?"
"Not good." Xiang Xiu handed her scissors.
Song Ruoxi had no choice but to remove the wrong embroidery place and start embroidery again. While embroidery, Ye Shuhua came back. Looking at the belt on her hand, she asked with a smile: "Yingying, how many days will this belt be embroidered?"
"Wait for another three or seven days, and it will probably be embroidered." Song Ruoxi said without raising her head.
"Okay, I'll wait." Ye Shuhua sat down aside, took the hot tea served by Xiangduo, and took a sip.
"I've been to see my mother. My mother is in good spirits and health, don't worry." Song Ruoxi said.
"Yingying, thank you." Ye Shuhua thanked him gratefully.
"You don't need to thank you, that's my mother, I'll go...Oh." Song Ruoxi's two-minded use of the needle was a needle piercing into his fingers, causing bleeding, and his fingers connected to the heart, which made him feel very painful.
Ye Shuhua walked up to her, grabbed her finger, put it in her mouth, took it for a while, took it out, saw that the blood stopped, and asked with a worried look: "It hurts very much, does it?"
"Little bit." Song Ruoxi smiled.
"Stop embroidery." Ye Shuhua threw his belt aside, "Stop embroidery in the future."
Seeing that he felt so distressed, Song Ruoxi laughed, "I didn't pay attention to my words just now. If I pay attention, I won't prick my fingers."
"It was my words that distract you and hurt you."
"If you are a female girl, there are those who are not stabbed by needles." Song Ruoxi smiled and looked at Shi Chenzhong, "It's getting late, tell them to pass on the meal. After the meal, I will go to Qichun Garden."
After the meal came in, the two sat opposite each other and took a nap for half an hour. Ye Shuhua accompanied Song Ruoxi out.
Madam Zhou had arrived, but Ping'er had not arrived yet. After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Ping'er came over. When she saw Ye Shuhua, her eyes lit up and she asked in a coquettish voice: "Does Brother Hua want to go together?"
"No, I have something to do in the afternoon." Ye Shuhua said with a smile.
"You go and do your business." Song Ruoxi said lightly.
Ye Shuhua obediently left first.
Song Ruoxi got on the first carriage, and Madam Zhou, Ouyang, Cannibal, Xiangxiu and Qinghe followed.
