delicious little cook

Chapter 135
The family was discussing the second grandpa enthusiastically, and there were constant reports from the family members. The clansmen from the middle of the capital had arrived early one after another. Fortunately, the guest rooms were already arranged, and the sacrifices sent by the second grandpa were unexpected.

The eldest lady ordered the family members to pack up the newly arrived sacrifices overnight, and put them together with the ones prepared at home. The next day, the whole family got up before dawn. Surrounded by family members, they set off for the ancestral hall when the sky was bright.

The ethnology is located in the ancestral hall, but today there is a day off for sacrifices, and the children of the clan who live in the ancestral hall all year round get up earlier, wash up early, eat and drink, and wait outside the gate of the ancestral hall for people from all walks of life arrival.

There is an auspicious time for offering sacrifices, and they are all descendants of the same great ancestor. No one dares to take it lightly. Except for those who left the capital to make a living, all those in the capital, whether they are good or bad, arrived on time.

The Duke of the State led the male members of the family to worship in the ancestral hall, and the female family members were in the Rong En Hall, led by the eldest lady, and set up an incense table in the courtyard to burn incense and pray for the Duke of Xian. The temple also arranged a few days in advance. Alright, today I will chant sutras for Duke Xian and pray for his descendants.

After the worship, the female relatives rested in the courtyard next door. Seasonal fruit, cakes and snacks were already set up on the table. Everyone ate and chatted in a pleasant atmosphere, except for the third grandpa's daughters-in-law who looked at him with embarrassing expressions. The old lady and the eldest lady have something to say but they can't say it openly.

Both the old matriarch and the eldest lady noticed the abnormality of these dignified sisters-in-law, but they didn't say anything. The third grandfather was in a bad situation in the court, and he really wanted the Duke's mansion to help him, but the elder master had just become a prince It's not easy to intervene in everything now, not to mention how the Third Grandfather offended someone, and we have to wait until the Elder Master officially takes office tomorrow to inquire slowly.

The banquet started at noon, and [-] dishes were served in turn. The dishes were simple and elegant, and each round had a vegetarian dish, because considering that the eldest daughter-in-law of the three old ladies, Mrs. Ou, might also be used to eating vegetarian, the guests should not be hungry. Go home on your belly.

But this Mrs. Ou still put down her chopsticks in the middle of the banquet, and the relatives and sisters-in-law at the same table had a great time. At the beginning, family wars broke out in order to separate the family. After the separation, they no longer have to endure the mother-in-law’s terrible dietary restrictions. , the lives of these daughters-in-laws immediately became more nourishing, but the poor one was the Ou family, who had nowhere to escape but resigned to fate, and now her eating habits had become the same as her mother-in-law's.

The third grandpa had four concubines and concubines, and the four daughters-in-law sat at the same table. Seeing that the eldest sister-in-law stopped eating, the three sisters-in-law no longer took care of her feelings. The three of them drank and ate meat.

Seeing that Mrs. Ou had stopped eating, the girl serving at the table went to bring her a cup of tea. Mrs. Ou used the taste of the tea to cover up the uncomfortable smell on the dining table, and listened to the sister-in-law's gossip about her parents to divert her attention.

Everything was going well, but suddenly there was a commotion in the corner where the children were eating, and the girls serving there were running around.

Mrs. Ou glanced at the table and saw that her daughter was at the table, so she got up and ran over.

Mama Pang also rushed past the eldest lady.

In addition, three female relatives sitting at other tables also got up and went over.

When I got to the table, I saw that it was Gu Hui, the only daughter of the Ou family who suddenly felt unwell and threw up the food she had eaten all over the floor. The vomit splashed all over the place and stained the shoes and skirts of the girls at the same table. .

A strong servant woman carried Gu Hui horizontally and sent her to rest in the warm pavilion of the old matriarch, while the other three little girls were led into the bedroom to change clothes. Put them on. Fifth Miss Gu Chan is 14 years old this year, and she happens to have some suitable clothes.

The Ou family repeatedly apologized to the three sisters-in-law, and took the opportunity to leave the banquet to take care of their daughter. Gu Hui lay on the cool bed a little weakly, and the girl next to the old lady waited for her to drink some honey water.

Mother Pang refused to let the three mothers enter the Rong En Hall because of the small bedroom, and asked them to continue to sit down and eat. The Duke's Mansion will definitely take good care of the three ladies.

Only then did the three wives return to their original positions.

And in the bedroom, the three little girls who were being dressed and washed by the maids complained, saying that Gu Hui ate meat harder than anyone else, as if he had never seen meat in eight lifetimes. so.

Gu Hui is the first grandchild of the third great-grandfather. She is only 12 years old this year, so the tablemates with her are cousins ​​from the same generation as the second great-grandfather. The way he behaves makes him disgusting, the clothes he wears are not bad, his appearance is also good-looking, Wen Wen is quiet and silent, who knows that eating is so ugly.

The maids kept this in mind, found an excuse to go out alone, found Pang's mother and repeated the words as they were.

Mother Pang understood what was going on as soon as she heard it, and while letting the girl next to the old matriarch take care of her carefully, she hurried back to her wife to answer.

The eldest lady sighed and asked Mama Pang to take care of the four little girls, and she would visit them after the banquet.

The dishes in the kitchen continued to be delivered plate by plate according to the established rhythm, and the second half of the table slowly came to an end. After the concluding fruit plate, snacks, snacks and tea were served, the female guests were almost belching.

The three little girls who changed their clothes sat in the hall of Rong En Hall and ate the dishes that were served at the back. They didn't want to go outside and be laughed at by other sisters. They were cousins ​​passed down in the same line, and they had a good relationship since childhood. Today Originally came to the banquet happily, but who knew that such a disappointing thing happened, a girl of this age has a cruel mouth, but she can ridicule Gu Hui enough.

The door of the warm pavilion is the green yarn cupboard. The warm blankets are not hung this summer, and the girls outside can hear everything they say inside. The girls dare not wait by the side, for fear of seeing something they shouldn't see and causing embarrassment.

Gu Hui looked at her mother weakly, she could hear the voices outside, but she couldn't react as she should, a little brainstorming would consume too much of her physical strength, Qu understands what the child means, and wiped her eyes to comfort the child It doesn't matter.

The mother and daughter just leaned against each other to rest quietly, until they heard the sound of the banquet coming from outside.

The three wives came into the house to pick up their daughters, and the eldest lady who came in together said that the soiled clothes, shoes and socks would be washed and returned, and then they gave the girls their shocking purses before seeing off the guests.

The old lady came to see Gu Hui in the Nuan Pavilion, and the Ou family thanked her again and again, but it gave people the feeling that she was holding back something and wanted to say something but dared not say it.

In the hall, the three sisters-in-law of the Ou family saw that the female relatives from the line of the second great-grandfather had almost left, so they came in together to meet the old lady and the eldest lady.

The old lady heard it from inside, and Liu Qu continued to accompany her daughter, and went out by herself to hear what they wanted.
