The Chronicle of the Rebirth of the First Daughter

Chapter 31
Early in the morning, when the magpies were still calling on the branches, Yuechan sat up in her arms and heard the thrush outside shouting: "Qin'er, what wind brought you here."

Then I heard Huang Ying say: "Miss, sister Qin'er is here!"

Yuechan smiled: "Hurry up, please come in!"

Qin'er opened the curtain to enter the door, squatted down towards Yuechan, with a smile on her face: "Auntie sent me here today, let me tell the miss, she has already prepared in the front hall, there may be a lot of guests later, I don't care about the backyard, let the lady remember to take care of it, and the kitchen is all up to the lady, let me first say thank you to the lady on her behalf, it is her fault that you are tired, after today Son, Auntie, don't serve the young lady with wine, right?"

Qin'er speaks eloquently, not only confessing Liu Mei's desire to let Yuechan help in the kitchen all the time, but also using words to squeeze Yuechan, so that she can't say a word of rebuttal.

Yuechan smiled: "Success, I understand, you go back and tell Auntie that I will do my best to let her treat the guests well."

Qin'er responded, and then hurriedly retreated out on the excuse of the front matter.

As soon as Qin'er left, Yuechan immediately got up to tidy up, put on her clothes, and asked Huamei to dress her up. After washing up, she took a few bites of food and took Huamei out.

She just walked into the yard when she saw Huan'er running towards her. The girl's face was ashen, and she didn't know where she was playing.

Huan'er's face was a bit annoyed, and when she saw Yuechan, she gritted her teeth angrily: "Miss, you are too weak, you haven't seen that Aunt Liu is dressed in a glorious way today, There are also Second Miss and Third Miss, both of them are wearing brocade and satin, and they have been taught to dress up well, they really look like the people in the painting, Aunt Liu is leading them to the front and is preparing to welcome guests!"

While talking, Huan'er sized up Yuechan, and saw that Yuechan was wearing a Tsing Yi with gauze, a lake-colored flowered dress underneath, a pair of cyan embroidered shoes, her hair was simply coiled on her head, and she was only wearing a sapphire Huasheng. There is only a sapphire hairpin, and there are no other accessories. Thinking of Yue'e and Yueting's splendor, Huan'er is even more angry: "Miss, look at your body, if you stand next to those two for a while, You can't compare it to others!"

Yuechan lowered her head and smiled, and didn't speak, she just glanced at Huamei, and Huamei pulled Huan'er to the side and said something in detail, Huan'er was coaxed to smile, and the two of them went out.

Coming out of Tinglan Pavilion, Yuechan walked along the bluestone path, passed through a moon gate, and then walked around several rockery covered with green vines, and there was another plain stone carving screen wall. The tile-roofed house, with smoke coming out of it, is the kitchen.

As Yuechan walked all the way, she saw the servants passing by in a hurry, all busy without touching the ground, so she knew that there must be a lot of things ahead.

Huamei helped Yuechan come over, and sat down in a fairly clean room on the west side, but she went out by herself, went to the kitchen and called a few stewards over.

Yuechan looked at the managers, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, are everything ready?"

The few people hurriedly responded to the drink, Yuechan looked at it, then nodded, and said: "I don't say anything else, I just remember what I ordered a few days ago, not to mention the quantity of various dishes, the style It has to be good, and it has to be delicious, the people who come here today are all the famous people in Chang'an City, and they have never seen anything before, we don't want to be top-notch, but we just want to make people laugh."

As she spoke, Yuechan's eyes turned sharp: "Everyone has to work harder today, and be quicker with your hands and feet. Don't cheat and play tricks. If you really neglect the guests, let me see them. If I see one, I will punish the other one."

Several managers bowed their heads and responded, Yuechan saw that they didn't look strange, so she waved her hand to let these people go down, while she herself was sitting on the couch here, drinking tea and chatting with Huamei.

Don't talk about how Yuechan pays close attention to the kitchen, but just talk about the old lady and Liu Mei in the front hall.

The old lady is also dressed very energetically today, with a brocade shirt of autumn fragrance on her upper body, a light purple skirt on her lower body, her hair in a long bun, a rich peony inlaid with gold and jade on her temples, and a few blessings for her birthday On the other side of the hairpin, a gold dot green step trembling slightly hangs down.

With such a make-up, coupled with the old lady's round face full of kindness and smile, her pair of eyes are bright and energetic, she looks very wealthy.

And Liu Mei also changed her usual low-key style today, wearing a silver-red embroidered blouse with twigs and branches, a pink pleated skirt with flowers underneath, and bright red embroidered shoes with big pink on the toe. pearl.

In addition, Liu Mei wears her hair in a happy bun, and puts a phoenix hairpin in front of her hair. A few red jades are hanging on her forehead. The golden ruyi hairpin instantly made Liu Mei look like a fairy concubine, a little more dignified than usual.

The old lady nodded her head involuntarily when she saw her attire. She needed to be dressed in whatever position she was in. Liu Mei was the head of the Meng family from now on, so naturally she couldn't be petty. , but also rich and noble, making the Meng family look good.

Looking back, the old lady saw that Yue E and Yue Ting were both dressed in bright red clothes, with jade hairpins on their heads, and bright wishful necklaces around their necks. They looked like Avalokitesvara The jade girl in front of the seat.

Yue'e Yueting's appearance was good, so she naturally dressed well, and the old lady was also very satisfied.

Look again, the old lady couldn't help frowning, why is there no Yuechan?

For a moment, the old lady felt a little uncomfortable, and looked at Liu Mei: "Mei'er, why don't you see Yuechan?"

Liu Mei was still laughing at first, but now she felt a little confused, thinking in her heart, this old man knew to ask Yuechan if he didn't see her for a while, and luckily I had an excuse, otherwise, she might not be able to embarrass me Woolen cloth.

Thinking of this, Liu Mei's face remained unchanged, with a smile still on her face: "Old lady, didn't you say you asked Yuechan to help me a few days ago? I've thought about it, but I don't know what to arrange for her It happened that there were not many things to do in the kitchen, so I discussed it with her and asked her to help take care of it in the kitchen. Yuechan was also willing. These days, she has been focusing on learning how to cook. No, she hasn't come yet. I'm afraid I'm watching people cook in the kitchen!"

After a few words, Liu Mei pushed her own responsibilities completely away. What she said was Yuechan's playfulness, and she was fascinated by seeing new things, and she didn't even know to come to socialize.

The old lady didn't believe it, Yuechan was not a child who didn't know how to behave, how could it be?
However, the old lady didn't ask any more questions, she just nodded: "Send someone to call Yuechan over later, there are a lot of people here today, let Yuechan also recognize the person."

"Yes!" Liu Mei gritted her teeth and answered, thinking that if I screamed, there would be ghosts. Instead of screaming, I would have to let someone tie Yuechan to let Yuechan get ahead, bah, there is no door.

Liu Mei and the old lady were fighting each other, sisters Yue'e and Yueting looked at each other, they both saw anger and unwillingness in each other's eyes, and said in their hearts, the old lady is full of Yuechan, we are also her granddaughters, we are dressed like this today Come, instead of boasting, she even asked Yuechan, what is good about Yuechan, but she just relied on her to give birth to a good belly, hum, we are no worse than Yuechan, just wait and see.

While talking, guests had already arrived, and the old lady didn't care about Yuechan, so she quickly sat down and asked Liu Mei to go out to meet the guests.

Liu Mei took the maid to welcome her out, and stood still on the second door, and saw a few noble ladies coming first, an old lady with white hair in front took the lead, that old lady was dressed in a lake green dress, and she was very clean He is neat and walks fast, and he is mentally healthy at first glance.

When she got closer, Liu Mei took a look, then laughed, and greeted her with a simple greeting: "Greetings to Mrs. Su, are you alright?"

That old Mrs. Su quickly helped Liu Mei, with a smile on her face: "Okay, okay, look at you child, we are not outsiders, why bother to be so polite!"

Liu Mei smiled and said it was right, and hurriedly welcomed Mrs. Su and the people she brought in.

When Mrs. Su entered, Liu Mei gritted her teeth secretly. This Mrs. Su was none other than the deceased Mrs. Su, who was Yuechan's mother's biological mother, and the person she brought was also Yuechan's Three aunts.

Old Madam Su might have to see Yuechan when she came like this, Liu Mei's eyes darkened, she turned her head and said a few words to the little girl behind her, the little girl understood and ran away quickly.

After a while, Liu Mei saw her aunt bringing her sister-in-law, accompanied by Mrs. Fu's wife. Seeing the aunt, Liu Mei felt very uncomfortable. She had suffered under the aunt's hands, and she hated it a long time ago. No, but she is a daughter of the Liu family. She is overwhelmed by courtesy, righteousness, benevolence and filial piety. She absolutely dare not turn against her aunt.

Clenching her fists, Liu Mei greeted her: "Mother is here, sister-in-law is well, the old lady is waiting, hurry up and invite..."

While talking, Liu Mei nodded to Mrs. Fu again and laughed: "Here you are, a few days ago you sent a message saying that there was a lack of a good medicinal ingredient in the medicine pills, and it happened that I found it when I was cleaning the warehouse. I was too busy to forget things, you have to remind me today, lest I forget again. "

Mrs. Fu's eyebrows were full of smiles: "It made you think about it. I just couldn't sleep well at night. The imperial doctor prescribed a few medicines. It's just a pill to calm the nerves. It's nothing serious."

Liu Mei raised her eyebrows: "You can't say that. At our age, it's not a trivial matter to not sleep well at night. You have to pay attention to it. Well, I won't say anything. Just remember not to forget when you leave." Bring medicine."

What she said brought her closer to Mrs. Fu, and she was very enthusiastic inside and out, which made Mrs. Fu happy. She felt that Liu Mei was really a kind, genuine and warm-hearted person, and she made up her mind. , I want to keep in touch with her more in the future, and invite her to any parties.

Liu Mei saw that Mrs. Fu's smile was a little more sincere, not just a polite smile like before, so she settled down, and finally won Mrs. Fu. The Fu family is a rich family, and she has a good relationship. If there is a relationship with her, she will be able to integrate into the imperial concubine's circle as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Liu Mei called Yue'e Yueting over, and pointed to Mrs. Fu: "These are my two daughters!" Then she said to Yue'e Yueting: "Hurry up and greet Mrs. Fu..."
