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

Chapter 50 Xi San
The old lady's hand shook and the tea spilled out. Mother Liu quickly came forward with a handkerchief to wipe it with her.

"What's going on? Didn't you say it was just a small banquet! Why did you alert the Duke of the Kingdom?!"

"This servant only heard that they are all here to drink tea!" Mother Liu wiped off the tea from the old lady's hand neatly and said, "Old lady, you are the elder of the Marquis Mansion. This distinguished guest is here, so you have to go there in person. , Take care of the town!"

How could the old lady not know.

But she didn't move.

She did not grow up in the capital since she was a child, but moved here after the old Marquis was granted a title and the Emperor rewarded him with the Marquis' mansion.

When she first came here, because she was a newly promoted marquis, although the old marquis had just died for the country, his son was still young and looked very popular, so all the officials and family members in the capital came to pay her a visit, and there were many of them. I have a good relationship with her.

But later, Anyuan Hou did nothing in the court, and even wandered around the flower house all day, looking like a swinger. The reputation and status of Anyuan Hou's house in the capital plummeted, and those people never came again.

Even if they met outside occasionally, they only exchanged a few words, and there was a sense of unfamiliarity inside and outside.

After so many years, the old lady really didn't have many friends in the capital, and she rarely even left the gate of the Hou Mansion.

How could she not feel uneasy when she was suddenly asked to meet so many high-ranking people?

Mother Liu saw the old lady's uneasiness and said quickly: "Old lady, you are the elder of the Marquis Mansion. Do those people dare to be rude to you when they come to your territory?
What's more, my wife is here, we just went there to show our faces, nothing will happen! "

Mother Liu's words seemed to give the old lady a reassurance. She finally nodded, got up and went into the bedroom to change her clothes and make up again.

When she came out again, the old lady had put on a long duck green coat, with a crimson gilded horse face, her hair was meticulously pulled back, and she was wearing a set of ruby ​​tiaras.

The crown had been dropped and was carefully repaired by skilled craftsmen. No trace of damage could be seen.

After walking a few steps outside, the old lady suddenly stopped and asked, "Where is Yi'er?"

With so many distinguished guests coming to the house, how can it be justified if the Marquis Anyuan doesn't show up?

Mother Liu's face suddenly showed a look of embarrassment: "Master Hou drank with Aunt Mei and the others last night and played for a long time. I heard that they only rested in the morning. At this moment... I'm still hungover. "

"A bunch of foxy people!" The old lady almost squeezed out these words through her teeth.

When I asked Aunt Mei and the others to go to Anyuan Hou, I just wanted to lure Anyuan Hou away from Aunt Yun and kill the bitch Aunt Yun's majesty, but I didn't expect that these few foxes are also troublesome!
Mother Liu was afraid that the old lady would be angry, so she quickly said: "Old lady, it's getting late now, let's go quickly!"

If you don’t go, the banquet will probably break up!

The old lady took a look at the golden sunset outside and walked towards the garden without daring to delay any longer.

At this time, the garden of the Hou Mansion was really lively. Men and women, old and young, gathered together, each holding a cup of tea in their hands, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

In the pavilion, several old ladies and the Duke's wife sat together. Jiang Fuyue sat at the head and made tea for them personally.

While everyone was chatting, Mr. Chen Ge from the Wenhua Palace came over with a tea cup: "Mrs. Gu, I am also a tea lover. Why have I never drank tea like this before? Where does this tea come from? Do you have any idea? Any connections?"

Although he is old and has gray hair, his eyes are bright and he is obviously in good spirits.

Mrs. Jin Guogong also nodded: "Yes, my family has tea from all over the world, why have I never seen anything like this? Fuyue, I don't care about others. Our Jingke has such a good relationship with you, so I also As your aunt, you can’t hide it from me!” As soon as she finished speaking, everyone in the pavilion laughed: “If only you had this tea at home, we would come to your door every day! Just in time, Even the food is provided for us!"

"You are so beautiful!"

Jiang Fuyue also pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "This tea is the original creation of a friend of mine. She has been doing business in remote places in the early years. Over the years, her business has grown, so she wanted to return to Beijing to try it, but... She was still unsure, so she gave me some tea leaves and asked me to help her try your taste first."

"It turns out we are going to open a store in the capital!" Sun Jingke's eyes lit up, "Then we will be in great luck in the future!"

As soon as he heard that he was going to open a store in the capital, Mr. Chen Ge's eyes lit up and he left with a tea cup in hand. He couldn't wait to share the news with his friends who knew him well.

While talking, the old lady came over.

Most of the people here were wearing casual clothes, even those who had received the post were just dressed a little more formally. Only the old lady in the audience was dressed up, and she was very eye-catching along the way.

Jiang Fuyue saw her as soon as she raised her eyes, stood up and bowed, and everyone else also said hello to her.

The old lady walked straight to the front seat, sat down firmly, and looked at Jiang Fuyue with some dissatisfaction: "Fuyue, I'm not talking about you, you have invited so many distinguished guests, why don't you know to say hello to me? You are a junior? , how can I support such a big scene, what should I do if I neglect it?"

Before Jiang Fuyue could speak, Mrs. Jin Guogong spoke first: "Old Madam, this is a misunderstanding. We all heard that Fuyue got good tea, so we came uninvited! We were rude first, and then Where does the slighting come from?"

After saying that, Mrs. Jin Guogong called Jiang Fuyue to sit next to her: "You, the tea maker, can't leave the table. Sit down quickly. I haven't had enough yet!"

Everyone agreed, and for a moment it seemed as if they had left the old lady aside.

The old lady's face suddenly became a little ugly.

Thinking about it carefully, not to mention that she offended Mrs. Jin Guogong, the two of them had never even met. How come Mrs. Jin Guogong blocked her words when she opened her mouth and seemed to want to support Jiang Fuyue? What does it look like?
The old lady sat for a while, but when she saw that no one was paying attention to her, she excused herself from sitting for a long time and wanted to get up and walk, so she went straight back to Songshouyuan.

After she left, the atmosphere in the garden was not affected at all.

It was almost dark, but everyone still wanted to know more. However, several maids who made tea ran out of tea leaves, so they all came to look for Jiang Fuyue.

Jiang Fuyue suddenly looked embarrassed.

There were so many people here today, which was already unexpected by her. They drank one cup and asked for another. The tea leaves were all gone in an instant, and she really didn't have much left here.

Seeing her embarrassment, Mrs. Jin Guogong coughed and said: "Okay, okay, it's getting dark today, let's go back first! The teahouse will open in a few days, let's go shopping again!"

As soon as Mrs. Jin Guogong finished speaking, the other ladies of the Duke and Mrs. Ge also nodded in agreement.

Several of the most distinguished people had expressed their opinions, and naturally the others could not say anything more, so they had to leave reluctantly.

Jiang Fuyue stood up to see him off in person, and secretly stuffed Sun Jingke with several cans of tea.

Receiving the look from Jiang Fuyue, Sun Jingke hurriedly left like a thief with his head lowered and his sleeves rolled up, even before Mrs. Jin Guogong entered the carriage.
