Chapter 50 Fireworks

No, no need. Mother Du’s smiling voice came from outside the flower hall. Miss Qiao was looking at the lights just now and walked a little slower. She can’t come now.

Following her voice, a woman walked in with a dull expression.

With her snow-white skin and soft facial features, she could not be Qiao Lianfang.

Mrs. Qiao of Lianfang looked worried. The banquet is about to begin. Where are you running? Sit down with the sisters. Then she looked startled as if she had seen something. Her eyes were full of confusion, and her face showed a bit of strange color. Lianfang

, why did you change

Okay, okay. Mrs. Qiao suddenly smiled and interrupted Mrs. Qiao's words. Just come. Mrs. Qiao said a few words. She smiled and said to the lotus room, "Come, sit next to me, so as not to be disturbed."

Your aunt is nagging.

Everyone was stunned.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Lianfang would win the favor of the Dowager Madam.

Some people showed envy, some showed jealousy, some showed surprise, and some showed confusion. Qiao Lianfang, who suddenly became the target of public criticism, did not expect it. She looked shocked and looked at the concubine without saying a word for a long time.

Surprise flashed in Mrs. Qiao's eyes, and she hurriedly pushed Qiao Lianfang: "Why don't you go and accompany Mrs. Qiao?"

Qiao Lianfang staggered as she was pushed by Mrs. Qiao. She looked a little dazed and said, "Oh," and walked to Mrs. Qiao's side.

Under the bright light, Eleven Niang found that the skirt of Qiao Lianfang was darker than other places.

She was thoughtful.

The third lady over there had come to her senses and was busy adding a brocade tree at the corner of Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Huang, but she couldn't help but glance at Qiao Lian's room.

Qiao Lianfang sat between the two of them like a child.

The lady nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "It's getting late for the banquet. Everyone will have to watch the fireworks later." After saying that, she stood up and raised the wine cup: "You are all rare guests, I will drink this cup first."

Drink it all with one hand.

Several ladies responded in a flurry of words and answered with cups of wine. The grandmothers drank along with them, while the ladies raised their teacups symbolically and each took a sip. The wife then picked up the chopsticks with a smile.

.

Everyone raised chopsticks and the banquet began.

Miss Tang at the next table spoke to Miss Lin: Tell me, where did the lotus room go just now?

The eleven girls at the table heard everything clearly.

Miss Lin smiled and said: Didn’t you say you were looking at the lights?

Miss Tang smiled lowly, with a bit of disdain in her eyes: "What's so nice about these round red lanterns? Who wouldn't have a row of them hanging under the eaves?"

Miss Lin said nothing.

Miss Tang added: This is also something that cannot be said for sure. Maybe the Xu family's lanterns are really unique in something. At least, the Xu family's lanterns are different from other families. Along the way, the skirt of the lanterns got wet.

Eleven Niang was quite surprised.

This Miss Tang is very careful and very smart.

However, there is something wrong with talking about Qiao Lianfang like this.

She coughed lightly and was about to say something to distract her when Miss Gan's seventh daughter said loudly: First cousin, Miss Tang said the anchovies were delicious and she wanted a plate, interrupting Miss Tang.

Everyone looked over with a smile.

Miss Tang was so angry that she stared at the seventh Miss of the Gan family: You

Miss Gan's seventh daughter giggled and winked at Eleventh Mother.

She must have felt that Miss Tang's words were too much, so she stopped her with words.

Eleven Niang's affection for her doubled and she couldn't help but smile.

She wants to eat, but she still relies on me. Miss Tang sneered, maybe the family is too harsh

If my sister wants to eat, she will ask Mrs. Xu's wife for it. Before Miss Tang could finish her words, Miss Gan's third daughter suddenly stood up and turned sideways, as if she wanted to block her sister behind her.

, why should I depend on you?

Eleven Niang was very surprised.

She did not expect that the third young lady of the Gan family, who had always followed the rules like a little old man, would shamelessly help her sister frame Miss Tang, let alone that she would stand up and speak for her sister.

You, Miss Tang, were so angry that you were about to get up and argue with the third Miss of the Gan family, but you were grabbed by Miss Lin.

Mrs. Cao Egan was a little at a loss and called to the third lady of the Gan family, sit down quickly. What kind of behavior is this?

Eleven Niang couldn't help but feel ashamed.

One is named Cao E and the other is named Lanting. There are two famous Dharma stickers. I don’t know who named them.

Mrs. Huang stroked her forehead and smiled: Cao E, you don't want everything to go along with Lanting. Look at how pampered she is. Sit down quickly. It's not a rare thing. Let someone serve Miss Tang anchovies.

Only then did the third young lady of the Gan family sit down angrily.

Miss Tang's eyes circled around Miss Gan's third sister like a knife, then she turned her back to the Gan sisters and only spoke in a low voice to Miss Lin.

The third young lady of the Gan family glared at her sister fiercely and whispered: Lan Ting, if you do this again, I will be very angry when I go back and tell my grandmother.

Hearing this, the seventh lady of the Gan family sighed helplessly towards Shiniang: If you can't control yourself like this, you have to tell the adults.

Shi Niang covered her sleeves and smiled, but her eyes drifted to Eleven Niang.

Eleven Niang sat upright and turned a blind eye.

You two sisters are really interesting. The seventh Miss of the Gan family looked at Ten Niang, and then at the Eleventh Niang. I will play with you in the future to make the Third Miss of the Gan family stare.

It’s not easy for the rich lady to come out. However, as long as she can come out, I will treat her with great courtesy. Because whether it is a somewhat old-fashioned elder sister or an exquisite and exquisite younger sister, she is not confused in major matters, and she is a person worth befriending.

Eleven Niang smiled and nodded.

Thinking of his three sisters again, his expression darkened.

Shiniang smiled happily when she heard this and nodded repeatedly: Okay, I'll wait for you.

The seventh young lady of the Gan family sat up straight and began to eat her meal seriously. She looked elegant and dignified like a lady.

There was only a gentle sound of clinking porcelain at the dinner table between grandma and the ladies, but it was much more lively at the madam's table. You advise me to have a drink, and I advise you to try this dish.

Qiao Lianfang had been sitting next to the Madam, and felt very embarrassed when people looked her over.

After dinner, everyone moved to the west to drink tea. Madam Tai still invited Qiao Lianfang to sit next to her.

A rough lady picked off the window panes, and the boys placed various firecrackers of various sizes on the open ground in front of the flower hall or hung them on the trees.

After taking off his makeup, Xu Wuye led four or five boys over.

He smiled and saluted the ladies, then drank and lit the firecrackers. The boy behind him took a long incense candle and lit the twisters of the firecrackers.

In a burst of long or short chirping sounds, sparks of red, yellow, blue, white, green, and purple sprayed out one after another, decorating the terrace in front of the flower hall into a dazzling world of fiery trees and silver flowers.

So beautiful, Shi Niang looked at those colorful flowers and murmured.

The colorful colors reflected her beautiful face, as bright as blooming flowers.

The third young lady of the Gan family took a handkerchief and handed it to her sister: Cover it quickly. Be careful of the smoke getting into your throat.

Miss Gan's seventh daughter hurriedly took out her handkerchief and kindly reminded Shi Niang and Eleven Niang: Fireworks smell like gunpowder and cannot be smelled.

Eleven Niang nodded, imitated the seventh lady of the Gan family, took out the handkerchief and half-covered her nose.

Shi Niang looked at the fireworks and smiled: It's not bad to smell the smell of gunpowder. I'm afraid I won't be able to smell it anymore if I want to.

If Eleven Niang has some enlightenment.

There was a boy who took an armful of firecrackers and scattered them around. While the fireworks were still gone, he lit them again.

Amidst the dull banging sound, the fireworks shot straight into the air. The people in the room were blocked by the eaves and could only see half of the fireworks in full bloom.

Unable to see clearly, Mrs. Huang simply got up and went to the eaves of the flower hall.

The madam laughed and stood up to invite everyone: "Let's go and have a look too."

Of course everyone should be well.

Mrs. Tai took Qiao Lianfang's hand and said, "Come, come and watch the fireworks with me. It's very cordial."

Qiao Lianfang responded in a low voice and followed the dowager to the eaves obediently.

La Shiniang, the seventh young lady of the Gan family: Let’s go and have a look too

Shi Niang nodded.

The two of them left happily.

Miss Gan's third daughter looked at her sister's back and sighed helplessly, inviting Eleven Niang: "Let's go and have a look too."

Okay. She smiled and stood up with Miss Gan's seventh daughter. She saw Miss Lin and Miss Tang walking past them arm in arm, followed by Wu Niang who smiled reluctantly.

Seeing Eleven Niang and the third girl of the Gan family, she said hello cordially: "Are you going out to watch the fireworks too? Let's go together."

Eleven Niang couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Some circles are not so easy to break into.
