Mrs. Yipin's Farmer's Wife

Chapter 446 Betrayal! (4)
If it wasn't for the wrong location, Liuqiao might really be able to relax and appreciate it.

Although Mrs. Jun would not give her a Hongmen banquet, she couldn't really relax. If Lin Xiaoyan hadn't said that, she wouldn't have come either.

Indeed, she has always wanted to watch the Lantern Festival.

It's just that when Yi Zhiyun was there, they had no conditions, but when they had conditions, he left. As if to give herself a thought, so as to smooth out those thoughts, she said, wait until he comes back to see .

Because the Lantern Festival was organized by Mrs. Jun, all the visitors were female relatives. According to the leading lady, the Lantern Festival was set up in the back garden, and it took almost half an hour to walk from the gate to the back garden.

Although Liu Qiao has no experience of being a guest at a rich family's house, usually a rich family will be taken into a soft sedan chair after traveling such a long distance, but Jun's family does not.

Or rather, she didn't.

Because when we were about to reach the back garden, another soft sedan followed.

Liu Qiao stopped in his tracks and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"East Liu's family..." The leading lady was puzzled.

Lin Xiaoyan also spoke, "Aqiao..."

Liu Qiao looked at them and smiled, "That's the county magistrate's wife."

The woman was relieved, and then looked at the soft sedan chair ahead, of course she couldn't see the people inside the sedan chair, but she could see the maid outside, but the woman didn't recognize it.

Lin Xiaoyan recognized it, "It's the county magistrate's wife, and beside the sedan chair is the county magistrate's personal maid, Mei Er."

Just as he was talking, the soft sedan came over.

The two stout women put down the sedan chair, and the maid next to the sedan chair pulled out a middle-aged woman from the sedan chair. The woman was dressed in a luxurious dress, wearing a precious red hairpin, with a round face and small eyes. It is very comfortable to watch, the official county magistrate's wife, Mrs. Chen.

Liu Qiao stepped forward, "I have seen the county magistrate's wife."

Lin Xiaoyan and the woman also saluted.

"Oh." Mrs. Chen laughed when she saw Liu Qiao, her small eyes almost narrowed into a line, "It's Dong Liu's family, and Dong Liu's family is here too."

Liu Qiao smiled and said, "Well, Mrs. Jun's invitation, Liu Qiao dare not refuse."

"Hehe." Mrs. Chen laughed twice, and looked Liu Qiao up and down, "East Liu's family is very happy to wear today."

"Lantern Festival, it's natural to be more joyous." Liu Qiao smiled.

Mrs. Chen also smiled and said: "Little girl, it's better to wear bright colors to look better. Dong Liu's family will wear these bright colors more often in the future."

Liu Qiao smiled and nodded, "Madam, let's go in."

"Okay." Mrs. Chen nodded, "Come on, you go in with me."

Liu Qiao naturally would not refuse.

Although the current county magistrate is not as capable as Xu Mao, there is no problem in essence, and his wife is even more easy to get along with, and now he has shown kindness to her, whether it is sincerely or for the sake of her husband, she has to accept it.

A group of people walked into the garden hand in hand.

In this season, everything withers.

Liu Qiao thought that when he arrived in the back garden, he would see depression everywhere, but unexpectedly, his eyes brightened.

In the huge garden, plum blossoms of different shapes bloom proudly in the wind, with red plums and white plums intertwined with each other, and exquisite palace lanterns are hung on the branches.

In addition, there is a charcoal stove at every other place, burning bright red charcoal, the warmth dispels the chill, and condenses the faint plum fragrance more intensely.

And in an open space in the middle of the plum tree, there were rows of banquets, and sitting on the main seat was today's host, Mrs. Jun Shao, Rong Xin.

When Rong Xin saw the person coming, he immediately got up and greeted him, "I've seen Mrs. Chen."

Mrs. Chen smiled and waved her hands, "Mrs. Jun, you don't need to be too polite. Today, you are the host and I am a guest. How can I accept your courtesy?"

"It's an honor for the Jun family to condescend Mrs. Chen." Rong Xin said with a smile without restraint, and then shifted his gaze to Liu Qiao beside Mrs. Chen. When he saw her in a red dress, his gaze paused, " Miss Liu is finally here, I thought you wouldn't come."

"Mrs. Jun's invitation, why doesn't Liu Qiao come?" Liu Qiao also smiled politely.

At this time, other people also came up to greet Mrs. Chen, first saluted Mrs. Chen, and then exchanged pleasantries. Most of the people who came this time were married wives, and one or two brought their own daughters, but no one from the younger generation spoke at the moment. For the sake of it, it can be said that Liu Qiao is the youngest among all the people in the greetings.

And soon, the focus of the greetings was on Liu Qiao, and the topics were nothing more than the ones from the previous period. Some were reserved and insinuating, and some were direct, or they looked down on Liu Qiao's daughter's family who came out to show her face. Just open his mouth to sarcasm.

Liu Qiao didn't get angry, and of course she didn't suffer any disadvantage. She smiled back like a soft knife. Some people she couldn't afford to offend, but some people didn't need to buy her!
"...Liu Qiao hates to thank you ladies for your concern for Liu Qiao and my husband. I didn't want to talk about this matter, but since everyone cares about us so much, then I will..."

"Aqiao!" Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by a sharp voice, and her arm was grabbed at the same time. It was Lin Xiaoyan.

Liu Qiao looked to the side, "What's wrong?"

"No...no..." Lin Xiaoyan's face turned pale, "It's just that the wind is a little strong, and I'm a little cold."

Liu Qiao frowned, not believing it, there are charcoal stoves all around here, and the weather is beautiful today, there is no snow, and the wind only comes occasionally.

"Why don't we sit down and talk about it." Rong Xin smiled at this time, then glanced at Lin Xiaoyan lightly, and then said to Liu Qiao: "Miss Liu, don't rush to say something, let's sit down and talk slowly."

"That's the reason!" Mrs. Chen also said, "Sit down, I heard that Mrs. Jun invited all the best masters in the banquet for this banquet, and we all opened our eyes!"

Rong Xin smiled and said, "Madam Chen, please."

The master and the person with the highest status have spoken, and everyone naturally obeys.

After being seated, Rong Xin asked someone to serve the food first. For others, the food served was very novel, but for Liu Qiao, it was nothing.

Rong Xin's banquet this time did not adopt the usual style, but a hot pot.

Each table has a hot pot, and the dishes are all served in small plates.

"This is the latest soup base and dishes developed by Jinyu Mantang. Let's try something new." Rong Xin laughed.

Liu Qiao glanced at her. Before, she always thought that Rong Xin was a good wife and mother, and she didn't know anything about the outside world. Now it seems that she guessed wrong, but after all, she grew up in Jun's family, and she was married to Jun Shi. Xuan has been married for many years, and some business vision is normal. After this lantern festival dinner, the attendance rate of Jinyu Mantang may increase again.
