After the Hou family's mistress was reborn, the entire Hou family suffered disaster

Chapter 49
The two of them sat in the tea room all morning, and it was almost time to eat. The resentment on Sun Jingke's face not only did not disappear, but even got worse.

Jiang Fuyue glanced at her and suppressed the smile in her eyes: "Are you hungry? Should we go to the dining room to eat, or should we eat here?"

"Here!" Sun Jingke resented deeply.

She spent the whole morning brewing tea for a sip of tea, but Jiang Fuyue either fooled her or simply stopped talking and refused to take out the tea.

Now she just felt scratchy and even regretted coming so early.

It wasn't until Jingzhe brought the sumptuous and delicious lunch that she turned her resentment into appetite, picked up her rice bowl and ate it in big gulps.

After lunch, she saw that she would be able to drink tea as soon as she woke up. Sun Jingke turned around and went to the bedroom without fussing, saying that he would call her when she had tea.

Jiang Fuyue looked at her back and laughed. She got up and walked around the kitchen. Seeing that Mrs. Lin was ready, she turned back to the bedroom to rest.

After waking up, Jiang Fuyue called Gu Yu in to dress up.

If you are meeting guests in the afternoon, you should not dress too plainly.

Jiang Fuyue re-combed her hair with a cloud-like bun, changed into a mountain-colored waist-length undershirt, and wore a pair of bamboo green sleeves. Smart and elegant cloud patterns were embroidered on the shoulders and back, and a jade stone was embellished in her hair. Step shake.

After leaving the door, Sun Jingke had dressed neatly again and opened the door.

Sun Jingke stood at the door, looking at Jiang Fuyue from head to toe, nodding repeatedly: "It's better to have some color on your body now. The color of your clothes before was too light and didn't look good!"

The clothes Jiang Fuyue usually wears are extremely light in color, and there are very few embroideries on them. Although with this face, the overall look is not bad, but compared to what she has been wearing recently, it is still a bit boring.

Jiang Fuyue nodded: "It's time to make autumn clothes. I have to choose carefully this year."

In the past, her mind was all on the household affairs in the Hou Mansion, and she had no time to take care of herself. Clothes and jewelry were just acceptable.

It will be different in the future.

Sun Jingke also nodded: "It's not early now, let's go there."

Jiang Fuyue said "Okay" and the two walked together.

-

The afternoon banquet was held in the garden of the Hou Mansion.

The pavilion facing the lake has been tidied up, and tea sets for nine people are placed on the table, just waiting for snacks to be served as soon as the guests arrive.

The two of them sat down and chatted for a few words before the guests started arriving one after another.

Not many people came today, and they were all from the same circle. Everyone was familiar with each other. After gathering together to chat for a few words, Sun Jingke couldn't wait to say: "Oh, let's not just talk, Fu Yue, these people are all We’re all here, let’s serve tea!”

"I heard that you came here early in the morning. Why, you didn't even drink this tea?" the plump woman said in surprise.

"Isn't that right!" Sun Jingke glanced at Jiang Fuyue and complained angrily, "Mrs. Gu is really tight-lipped. I've been grinding her here all morning and she didn't say anything to me! What if this tea is not good? Drink, see if I don’t make a big fuss in the Hou Mansion!”

Hearing this, everyone laughed.

Jiang Fuyue took advantage of the situation and invited everyone to sit down in the pavilion.

Several maids brought snacks, and Jingzhe came over with a tea can and placed it next to Jiang Fuyue.

Mrs. Lin worked hard all morning to make these snacks. The sweet mung bean cake, pineapple cake and osmanthus cake, and the salty fish-flavored spring rolls are not only unique in shape, but also freshly made and still steaming hot. The aroma.

Everyone was aroused, so they each picked up a piece of their favorite food, and while eating, their eyes fell on the tea can.

"Is this Mrs. Gu's new good tea?" Everyone looked at the tea can, curious, "I have never seen such a beautiful tea can!"

The light blue ceramic jar is about the size of a palm, with incised Tang grass patterns on it. It is so exquisite that it hardly looks like a tea jar.Jiang Fuyue smiled silently, pinched a small cloud on the lid, and opened the jar.

Warm the cup, pour the tea, wash the tea, brew the tea, make the soup, and divide the tea.

These are the most basic steps. Jiang Fuyue's movements are smooth and natural, which is pleasing to the eye.

Everyone took their tea cups, lowered their heads and smelled the extraordinarily fresh aroma, and then took a sip eagerly.

When the tea soup enters the mouth, it feels fresh and mellow, without any greenness or astringency. The taste is many times stronger than what they usually drink.

Everyone here is a tea drinker and knows tea well. As soon as the tea was in their mouth, everyone looked surprised.

For a moment, the pavilion was quiet, and everyone just bowed their heads and sipped tea.

Sun Jingke reluctantly drank a cup, breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly said: "Fuyue, do you still have this tea?"

"Of course there is," Jiang Fuyue nodded, "What's the matter?"

"I want to invite my mother-in-law over." Sun Jingke said.

Mrs. Jin Guogong loves tea and freshness.

Last winter, someone took out the snow water that he had saved for a whole year to make tea. Mrs. Jin Guogong had never drunk it like this, so even though the person didn't leave a message for her, she still came over with a generous gift.

Regardless of the taste of the tea, Mrs. Jin Guo was very happy drinking it.

This time, if she couldn't catch up with the excitement of the first batch, she would probably be sulky.

"Now?" Jiang Fuyue was stunned, "Are you so anxious?"

Sun Jingke nodded slightly, with expectation in his eyes: "Is it okay?"

"I couldn't ask for more," Jiang Fuyue said with a smile, "This banquet is just for this tea. Anyone who loves tea can naturally come and try it."

It's really an unexpected surprise that Mrs. Jin Guo can come.

After hearing this, Sun Jingke quickly called his maid and told her to go home and invite someone.

Seeing this, the rest of the people also called their maids over. After a few orders, the outside of the pavilion was half empty.

Looking at this scene, a lady couldn't help but cover her lips and laugh: "It seems that there will not be enough seats in this pavilion soon!"

"Isn't it? There will be more and more people here soon. Let's talk less and drink more!" Sun Jingke said, but he couldn't wait to start making tea with his own hands.

Everyone stopped talking and didn't even care about the hot snacks on the side. Everyone wanted to take a few more sips.

In just one stick of incense, Mrs. Jin Guogong arrived and brought many gifts.

This is also an unwritten rule in the capital. If you are a guest who has received an invitation from the host, you can bring some small gifts to the banquet. However, if you have not received the invitation and still want to join in the fun, the gift must be expensive.

Mrs. Jin Guogong is a very particular person.

Not long after, other people called by the ladies also arrived one after another.

There were so many people that Jiang Fuyue could not keep busy by herself. Fortunately, there were several maids in the Hou Mansion who knew how to make tea, and Jiang Fuyue called them over at this time.

Everyone who came and drank the tea was full of praises, so they called one after another. Seeing the sun setting, more and more people gathered in the Marquis Mansion, including men and women, and it was very lively.

Mother Liu noticed the movement here, came over to take a look from a distance, and hurriedly ran back to report the news to the old lady: "Old lady, this is terrible! There are many distinguished guests in our house! Madam, the Duke of the State, Madam Pavilion , even several princes and elders came in person! Come over and have a look!"
