It was precisely because of this that Sister Yuan persuaded the second wife to agree and came with her sisters at home.
Originally, Sister-in-law Rong was also going to come, but something happened in the temporary mansion, and she was caught by the head of the house, so she gave up. Mrs. Rong personally sent the three sisters to the gate of the mansion, and told the oldest sister Su to take care of the younger sisters, and then watched the carriage drive out of the British mansion.
The three sisters came late, it was already noon at this time, and the servant girl who greeted the distinguished guests at the entrance of the alley had already gone back, Chu Lian thought that at this time, the British government would not come.
Without guidance, the two carriages from the British government arrived directly in front of Gui Linju's main entrance.
Before getting out of the carriage, the servants outside whispered a report by the side of the carriage: "Miss, the entrance to Linju has been blocked."
Sister Yuan, who was still full of sarcasm just now, looked down, slightly lifted the curtain of the car, and looked towards Gui Linju's inconspicuous facade.
I just saw that the entrance of the small Guilin residence was full of people, and there was a long line outside, which filled the already narrow alley.
how can that be! How could there be so many diners in such a remote restaurant!
Sister Su was also surprised. She ordered her servants to ask at the gate of Guilinju.
After a while, the servant came back.
The servant's face was full of puzzlement, "Go back to Miss Wu, those people all come to Guilinju for dinner."
"What!" Sister Yuan couldn't help exclaiming, she made such a fuss that Sister Su glared at her.
Sister Su thought for a while, then took out two exquisite invitations from her cuff and handed them to the servant, "Go and hand these two invitations to the shopkeeper of Guilin Juzhong, and tell him that we are here to find Mr. Jinyixiang of."
The servant immediately took orders and went.
Not long after, the servant brought steward Qin and a shrewd nanny to the carriage.
Steward Qin personally ordered someone to lead the carriage of the British government to the back door, into the backyard where the female guests were entertained, and was led by Nanny Zhong to one of the small courtyards.
Nanny Zhong asked the maids serving in the yard to sit down for the young ladies of the British government, then stood beside her and respectfully said: "Miss, please wait a moment, our third grandma will be here soon."
Sister Fu looked at Nanny Zhong, rolled her eyes, and remained silent.
Sister Su said thanks.
Sister Yuan snorted, "Why, we are guests today, why does Sixth Sister want us to wait?"
As soon as she said that, Sister Su frowned, Nanny Zhong was taken aback, and pursed her lips to apologize, "The ladies are our third grandma's distinguished guests, it's the old slave who was negligent and didn't invite third grandma over sooner. "
Sister Yuan's expression changed, and she glared at Nanny Zhong fiercely. She never thought that this old woman not only didn't know how to advance or retreat, but would dare to defend Chu Lian at such a time. Talk back
Sister Yuan was used to being overbearing in the British government, and immediately wanted to scold Nanny Zhong, but before she could say anything, she was stopped by Sister Su and Sister Fu.
This time, Sister Fu, who likes to sit on the mountain and watch tigers fight, actually stopped her, and she immediately glared angrily at her sisters at home.
Grandma Zhong didn't like Sister Yuan's set, she gave the three ladies a little blessing, and said to herself: "This old slave will go down and prepare refreshments for the ladies, ladies, please do what you want."
Sister Yuan stared at the back of Nanny Zhong who disappeared at the gate of the courtyard, her face flushed with anger, "Fifth Sister, Ninth Sister, look! Is this how Sixth Sister treats guests? You still don't allow me to get angry?"
Sister Su and Sister Fu are not stupid, how could they really admit that Chu Lian is wrong.
Sister Su's face was stern, and she frowned: "Seventh sister, you are enough! This is not the second-bedroom courtyard of the British government, you should stop it!"
Sister Fu lifted her lips, "That's right, so we don't lose face too!"
Sister Yuan was already in a bad mood when she entered Guilin House and looked at this novel arrangement, and now she was scolded by the two sisters, her face turned red immediately, but now she has no one to support her, after the last time in Jinshixuan As for the matter, she also learned to be obedient, holding the handkerchief and enduring it without talking back.
But today she came here to find fault with the jokes, wouldn't it make Chu Lian proud to just give up like this
She glanced at the big maid who was following behind her, and the maid hurriedly brought out a food box from behind.
After a while, a maid serving in the small courtyard brought freshly made tea.
The mist on the tea water has a very special taste of sweetness and bitterness. Although the British government is declining day by day, the emaciated camels are bigger than horses. They have been served and grown up since they were young. They can distinguish the loose tea from Northern Fujian by smelling it. out.
Although Sencha was popular in the Great Wu Dynasty, there are several types of tea sources. Northern Fujian loose tea is one of the major branches. Loose tea can be divided into ordinary and super quality. that's it.
The three girls in the British government can only distinguish the types of sencha, no matter how many there are, there are very few who are proficient in it. If it is the former Chu Lian, maybe they can distinguish it.
Sister Yuan sniffled and rolled her eyes, "Sixth sister has already opened a restaurant, why are you so stingy to entertain our sisters with Beifu loose tea?"
The servant girl who brought the tea blushed immediately, she lowered her head and did not dare to speak back.
Seeing the maid's trembling fingers, Sister Yuan finally felt better, she turned her head and told her big maid behind her, "Go and make tea."
The maid beside her immediately turned pale, and slowly took out a small delicate ceramic jar from the package, deliberately showing off the small ceramic jar in front of Sister Su and Sister Fu.
Sister Su frowned, she recognized at a glance that it was a can of small tea cakes from Lapsang, the top quality sencha, and the old Englishman could only get two cans every year through his relationship. Last year, the old lady gave a can to the second room. Unexpectedly, this tea was in the hands of sister Yuan.
How did Sister Su know that Sister Yuan had prepared more than that to save Chu Lian's face today, and she did not ask for this pot of tea, but she stole it from her father's study.
Sister Fu also had surprise in her eyes, she pursed her lips and remained silent.
"Sister Yuan, you..." Sister Su opened her mouth, but she was interrupted by Sister Yuan before she could speak.
"What's the matter, fifth sister, the hospitality is not good, don't you think I prepared it myself?"
It's not that other people's hospitality is not good, it's clear that you are picky and deliberately finding fault!
The big maid twisted her body and went to find the tea set from the maid serving in the yard, but the other one opened the food box, and before Nanny Zhong came back, she carefully brought out all the delicately arranged snacks in the food box , on the table.
This time, not only Sister Su, but even Sister Fu looked at Sister Yuan with strange eyes.
At first glance, the dim sum is from De'an Building. The lotus plate is the most recognized dim sum platter in the upper class of Shengjing. Of course, the price is not cheap, and a small box costs more than ten taels of silver.
Their sisters' monthly bills in the house are not even ten taels!
This time, Sister Yuan really paid for it.
Sister Yuan met the weird eyes of Sister Su and Sister Fu, raised the corners of her mouth, and smiled happily instead.
"What are you all doing in a daze, eat, this snack is from De'an Building, and there are not many times when we can eat it at the house on weekdays."
Sister Su's face became serious, and she warned Sister Yuan: "Seventh sister, remember that we are here today to congratulate, there is no other purpose."
Sister Yuan reached out and twirled a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, "Where is Fifth Sister thinking, I didn't do anything, did I?"
Chu Lian was accompanying Mrs. Yang and Princess Duanjia in the courtyard of Kunjia, when Manager Qin sent someone to inform her that her natal sisters were here.
Princess Duanjia immediately rolled her eyes when she heard that, "What are they doing here?"
Chu Lian smiled and didn't say anything. She knew Princess Duanjia didn't like girls from the British government, and Mrs. Yang was not a person who likes to socialize, so she asked Princess Duanjia to take care of Mrs. Yang. She went to see her natal sisters. voila.
Chu Lian ran into Nanny Zhong on the way to Sister Su's yard.
Nanny Zhong paused, but still told Chu Lian about the situation in the yard.
Chu Lian looked at the maid carrying the snack box behind Nanny Zhong, and smiled, "Although other people don't care about it, we must be courteous. Mammy, let's bring someone some snacks."
Although Nanny Zhong disdained the girls of the British government, since Chu Lian had ordered so, she would not disobey it.
She hugged her body towards Chu Lian, and led the two little girls to follow behind Chu Lian.
Chu Lian looked satisfied. Although He Sanlang left three servants to look after her, all three of them are necessary.
When Chu Lian entered the courtyard, a little maid came in to report.
After entering the flower hall in the small courtyard, I saw several sisters from her natal family stood up to greet her, but Sister Yuan deliberately stood back a little and showed her the situation on the table on purpose.
Chu Lian glanced at her, curled her lips in her heart, and knew that Sister Yuan was going to make a mess again. If it weren't for the face of the two in-laws, she really didn't want to post a post to the British government.
Before Sister Su could open her mouth, Sister Yuan raised the corner of her mouth and said sarcastically, "Sixth Sister is really busy. The sisters from her natal family can be left aside. I don't know what kind of distinguished guest Sixth Sister was receiving just now? Why didn't she introduce it to our sisters?" know?"
They knew more or less about the friendship between Chu Lian and Wei Wangfu. In Sister Yuan's eyes, the title of Chu Lian Township Lord was obtained because of being close to Princess Duanjia.
How could she not be jealous.
Obviously before she got married, she was still the one who was pushed under her all day long, but when she turned around and married into the Jing'anbo Mansion, things went smoothly. She gritted her teeth in anger.
Chu Lian stretched out his hand to ask the sisters to sit down, and said with a warm smile, "I just accompanied Mrs. Yang and Princess Duanjia, and neglected Fifth Sister, Seventh Sister, and Ninth Sister. It's just that Mrs. Yang doesn't like to meet strangers. I'm afraid that I won't be able to help Seventh Sister's request."
When Chu Lian said this, Sister Yuan's face immediately turned dark.
She never expected that Chu Lian would reject her so straightforwardly.
But at this time, she couldn't force Chu Lian to beg Mrs. Yang and Princess Duanjia, so she could only endure it. She looked down at the snacks on the table, snorted coldly in her heart, and raised the corners of her mouth viciously.
