Chapter 1236 (1/2)
When Mrs. Liang was thinking about getting rid of lianfangzhou, lianfangzhou was arranging to receive all the ladies.
This time, she invited young men of her age, Liang Yi's wife and the second young lady of Liang family.
For those old ladies, Lian Fangzhou didn't invite them, but he posted that he didn't dare to work with the elders. He just gathered with his peers and joked and joked. In the first month, he held a formal banquet for the elders, and each of them gave gifts: a nice calming spice from the capital city, a pair of refreshing and soothing chests The stagnant cloud brocade bag, a pair of horn combs produced by the old shop in central Beijing and a string of eighteen hand strings of amber or honey wax.
Things are not very valuable. They are more valuable than intentions. After all, they are all good things in the capital. In this South Sea city, there is no money to buy them.
In Liang's mansion, Mrs. Liang naturally received such a gift.
In curiosity, I opened my eyes and saw that Lian Fangzhou was prepared to do everything in a thoughtful and proper way, but my heart was even more depressed and depressed. I immediately pushed the life person away and stopped appearing in front of her!
More hate in the heart bite teeth: this woman, very scheming! So willing to work hard, how can I hook a man? It's no wonder that her son, who is smart and has always been careless to women, is also caught by her!
Even the day of Fangzhou's treat is on the sixth day of the first lunar month. It's a very good day. The bright sunlight shines down on it. It's warm and makes people feel lighter.
As early as yesterday, the rectangular flower hall at the top of the Xie mountain in the small garden of Yamen's back residence has been cleaned and arranged.
In the early morning of today, the courtyard under the porch outside the gate is full of blooming azalea, camellia, osmanthus, lilies, rose, cyclamen and other flowers. They are gorgeous and beautiful. They send out elegant flower fragrance in the sun, adding a bit of charming.
In the hall, there are unique flower arrangements on the desk windowsill of the tea table. On the seats of chairs and couches, there are thin cotton brocade cushions with exquisite embroidery. The red copper censer is decorated with fragrant plum blossom.
In the corner of the porch outside the door, the small black clay stove and silver frost charcoal for tea making are all ready, just waiting for people to make ready-made tea.
The kitchen is busy, too.
All kinds of snacks and pastries have been continuously prepared since three days ago, which are naturally exquisite things in the capital.
Some of them have been stored for a long time and will not change their taste yesterday. Some of them have complicated preparation work, but they need to do it now and eat it now to make it perfect. They are ready together. It is estimated that the guests are almost ready to start.
There are also lunchtime meal, also in the busy start to prepare.
