After persuading her for a long time, her eldest aunt still sat there with an unkind expression. When Mei's mother saw that someone from the Liu family was coming, she felt a little jealous of Qiao. After all, she was Wei Jingwei's mother-in-law.
She walked forward with the support of the maids and said with a smile: "You must be Wei's eldest aunt. It is really rare to visit my Mei family today."
In the past, the Liu family didn't come, but today they just wanted to take a concubine, but they came here in good condition. Mother Mei knew with her toes that they must be here to make the decision for the Wei family.
He didn't speak politely.
Mrs. Ye was unhappy at first, but when she saw that Mei's mother came up and said some unpleasant words, she said with a smile, "Of course they are rare guests. In the past, the Mei Mansion didn't invite us, but today, we are invited to take concubines." Here we come." She deliberately looked around and said with a smile: "Don't tell me, your Mei family just doesn't have a banquet. This is a proper ceremony for taking a concubine. Those who don't know may think it's for marrying a real wife. Old lady, Do you think what I said is right?"
Mei's mother was stunned by her continuous beatings. After a long while, she said harshly: "So what if I take a concubine? That man doesn't take concubines anymore. Besides, my son was born as a top scholar."
After entering the Liu family, Mrs. Ye has been the head of the family for a long time, and she has never seen all kinds of people.
But it’s really rare to find someone as ignorant and arrogant as Mei’s mother.
The direct daughter of the Wei family and the cousin of the Jianliu family married his son, and the Mei family's ancestral graves were filled with smoke.
It’s just that you don’t cherish it. Listening to that tone, you actually feel that we are trying to get ahead of you.
"So what if the No. 1 scholar is the top scholar? Here in Beijing, the No. 1 scholar is the No. 1 scholar every year, but what are they doing now? If you have good luck, just be a seventh- or eighth-grade official and take your time. If you have bad luck... ." Mrs. Ye said, looking at Mei Mu up and down with very disdainful eyes, then she held on to the very beautiful bracelet on her wrist and said with a smile: "Some of those who have bad luck are still not able to get ahead."
Mei's mother was originally complacent about her son, but when she heard these words, she was so angry that she fell back and pointed at Ye, unable to say a word for a long time.
Soon, the table began to be served.
A group of handsome maids brought all the dishes prepared in the kitchen.
Soon, the lady who came to the banquet today said "Hey".
"That's really weird..." The woman picked up the fish on the plate and looked at it, looked up and saw everyone looking at her, and put down her chopsticks in embarrassment.
The lady next to her who was offended just now didn't care. She just said in a very exaggerated way: "Hey, is this how your Mei family treats guests? What kind of things are these, and you actually dare to serve them to entertain guests! It's really annoying I laughed my ass off.”
Ye's dishes were also served. After listening to everyone's remarks, she looked over the table. When she looked at the fish in the middle, the corners of her mouth twitched a few times.
The expression is very difficult to describe.
Mei's mother also looked unhappy. She was already at a disadvantage with Ye, and now that there was something wrong with the food, she probably looked down on herself even more. I don’t know what that girl Xiaoqin is doing, why she can’t even prepare a table of decent dishes.
She clutched the handkerchief tightly and looked at Wei Jingwei expectantly, hoping she could find something to make up for. Find some face for your family.
Wei Jingwei didn't look at Mei Mu, but followed her aunt's eyes and noticed the problem with the fish with sharp eyes.
The size of the fish is really too small...
This kind of very small fish is almost only used to make soup. Even wealthy people think that the fish is too small to taste when making soup.
I don’t know what Mei Xiaoqin was thinking, but she actually cooked the fish and served it to the guests.
I'm afraid that before tomorrow, everyone in Beijing will laugh at the Mei family's dish today.
Although Wei Jingwei had expected that something would go wrong today and was willing to embarrass the Mei family, she still had to do something to save her face.
She waved her hand and said loudly: "Everyone, stop for a moment. Remove all the fish. Maybe the cook in the kitchen made a mistake."
Mei's mother quickly squeezed the maid's hand that was supporting her, with a very embarrassed look on her face, "Yes, you are right, the servant must have made a mistake."
It's a pity that she didn't know that the more she said this, the more everyone felt that she was hiding something.
There were quite a few ladies here today, and they all took note of today's events while exchanging glances.
The young lady of the Mei family was in trouble with the housekeeper and was in great disgrace.
But seeing Wei Jingwei's calm and unhurried look, they all praised her in their hearts. She really has the style of a young lady from an aristocratic family, but...it would be a pity to marry into the Mei family.
Regardless of her appearance and courage, Wei Jingwei is qualified to marry into a powerful family and become a clan wife.
Many people thought with regret.
After finally carrying all the dishes, Mei Xiaoqin heard the maid on the side whisper: "Miss, madam asked us to take the fish down, slave..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Mei Xiaoqin. She was filled with anger. So many things had gone wrong today. She finally bought the fish again and cooked it and served it. Why was the Wei family so unhappy with her? , are you still remembering the past?
She was so angry that without even thinking about it, she walked up to Wei Jingwei and asked loudly: "Why did you ask the maids to bring the fish down? You can't see me like this for the banquet I managed to organize today, okay? You want to cause trouble because of my brother's concubine."
When Mei's mother saw her coming over with a bad look on her face, she knew she was going to do something bad. Before she could stop her, she heard her say it all.
Her voice was so loud that many people around her looked over and pointed at Mei Xiaoqin with some sarcasm and ridicule.
There are rumors that this young lady from the Mei family has a bad temper and bullies her sister-in-law. It seems that the rumors are true.
Looking at her skillful look just now, you can tell that she has done it a lot in the past.
On the other hand, Wei Jingwei was not angry at all after being scolded. Instead, she was very polite and generous. "We will talk about it later if there is anything wrong with my sister. The guests are having dinner at the moment."
Mei Xiaoqin also noticed that what she was doing was out of line, and then reluctantly shut up.
Mei's mother pulled her aside with a mocking smile and told her about today's dishes.
Mei Xiaoqin was very surprised, "How could this happen? Didn't I tell them how to do it?"
Mei's mother hated Tie Bucheng very much, "Tell me, you, Mrs. Wei, have already reconciled this matter. Everyone could clearly see your attack just now, so what will happen now."
"Mother...Mother, my daughter really won't be able to get married now, right? You have to help her!" Mei Xiaoqin shed tears as she spoke.
Mei's mother was angry and anxious. Her eyes wandered back to Mrs. Ye who was sitting there. She thought for a while and muttered: "There is still the Liu family. If it doesn't work, let Mrs. Wei go to the Liu family and say, then you will marry It’s also good to go to Liu’s house.”
