MTL - Vicious Male Partner is a Girl-Chapter 7 sibling discord
As everyone was seated, delicacies were brought up by servants.
Since it is called the Spring Food Feast, the most important thing is of course all kinds of vegetables, fruits and wild vegetables that are newly born in spring. The verdant wild vegetables are cooked in the simplest way, and served on a white jade plate. It is both beautiful and delicious. The freshest taste of wild vegetables is preserved, and finally released slowly on the tip of the tongue.
In addition to vegetables, fruits and wild vegetables, there are also all kinds of meat dishes, which swim in the water, run on land, and fly in the sky. Honey pure fried fish, taro sour scallops, roast goose, mutton made by roasting method, and other fresh ingredients from all over the world are made delicious, served in complicated and exquisite gold plates and silver bowls, Served in front of the guests.
Nowadays, transportation is inconvenient, and it costs thousands of dollars just to collect these ingredients, not to mention the top-quality wine on each table. The luxury and wealth of the aristocratic families in this era can be seen.
Shen Fengzhang tasted the food slowly, and suddenly noticed that Xiao Qilang who was sitting not far away looked at her several times. She thought for a while, and a strange smile appeared on her slightly lowered face.
It seems that they are looking forward to every "performance" of the original owner.
Because the original owner asked for these people, he felt a little inferior, so he kept his posture extremely low, flattering and praising these high-ranking sons every time.
Shen Fengzhang looked around, and sure enough, he saw Yu Sanlang not far away talking loudly, praising the deliciousness of today's dishes to the people around him, which he had never tasted in his life. He talked vigorously, and his companions echoed loudly, but the princes of the aristocratic families around him smiled half-smiles, with a bit of disdain in their eyes, as if they were watching a monkey show.
With a chopstick of steamed shad, Shen Fengzhang lowered his head and continued eating.
As for Xiao Qilang and others who want to watch a good show.
Who cares about them.
Sitting upstream, Xiao Qilang watched Shen Fengzhang clearly meet his gaze, but still kept his head down and only cared about eating, dumbfounded for a moment.
"What's going on with Shen Fengzhang today?" Xiao Qilang looked at his companions beside him, and then at Yu Sanlang on the other side, "Yu Yongzhi is still the same?" Yu Yongzhi.
Yuan Jiulang also found it strange, he took a closer look at Shen Fengzhang who kept putting chopsticks on the steamed shad, thoughtfully, "Could it be that she really loves today's steamed shad so much that she even forgot about other things? "
Xiao Qilang snorted softly, "She's more pleasing to the eye than she used to be." The fresh shad used in the steamed shad dish was also obtained by him for the second brother Xie.
As soon as he picked up the jade, he also wanted to taste whether the shad was really so delicious, when he was knocked off his arm. Xiao Qilang raised his head, saw Yuan Jiulang blinked, and nodded towards Shen Fengzhang.
"It's fine for Shen Fengzhang to keep quiet. Don't forget, our proposal just now." After Yuan Jiulang finished speaking, he turned to Xie Erlang, "Second brother, the beautiful scenery and delicacies on a good day, the people attending the banquet today are all old gourmets. Why don't we let everyone taste today's dishes?"
Xie Erlang was slightly older than these two, he smiled lightly when he heard this.
"promise."
With the host's permission, Yuan Jiulang immediately got up and began to ask questions to the guests.
Sitting on Xie Erlang's left, a young man of similar age saw this, smiled and said to Xie Erlang: "Don't you see what the two of them really think?"
"It's just a few disciples from poor families." Xie Erlang took a sip of the wine in his glass, glanced at the boastful Yu Jie and the others, and then at the two of the Shen family, never paying attention to them at all.
Yuan Jiulang called several people to get up, each of these people picked a dish, and tasted it well, everyone nodded repeatedly. Of course, there was also a young man with insufficient background, lack of knowledge and confidence, but he made a mistake about the seasoning used in Tiaowan Zhi, and was pointed out on the spot, and he was so ashamed that he sat down and dared not speak again.
Shen Fengzhang saw that Yuan Jiulang was deliberately making things difficult for others in this way. Only the aristocratic family has the ability to implement the food to the extreme, and use a hundred years of experience to support a tongue that tastes all kinds of delicacies.
Sure enough, the next person named by Yuan Jiulang was Shen Jun beside her.
"I don't know Mr. Shen's family—" Yuan Jiulang walked up to Shen Jun slowly, and spoke with a smile. Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a clear and pleasant female voice.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
Shen Fengzhang subconsciously followed the voice and looked back, a group of young ladies in various dresses walked towards this side through the bamboo forest. Seeing the young gentlemen sitting by the stream, these young ladies covered their lips with their sleeves, with shy smiles on their faces.
"Brother, our place is too boring, so I brought everyone here." The little lady at the head smiled brightly, and ran straight to Xie Erlang's side.
According to Shen Fengzhang's understanding, the requirements for women in this era are not strict. It is not like the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the previous life, which forced women to stay out of the house and not have any contact with men.
She watched Xie's little thirteenth mother tugging at her elder brother's sleeve, then leaned into his ear and whispered a few words, laughing.
As soon as these little ladies came, the atmosphere of the audience changed suddenly. Xie's thirteenth wife is young and still looks childish, but there are still several young ladies inside who have already opened up, like delicate flowers that have just bloomed, attracting men of the right age present to look at them frequently.
The most eye-catching one is Shen Xiangpei. She was already good-looking, with her chin raised slightly, coupled with her detached temperament, like a green lotus that can only be seen from a distance but not played with.
The other was the little lady in blue shirt who was walking with Shen Xiangyao. Her skirt was made of blue gauze of different shades, and when the wind blew, the blue gauze trembled like a rippling lake. Although her facial features are not as exquisite as Shen Xiangpei's, the makeup on her face is unique. Her eyebrows are thin and curved, her eyes are thinly powdered like weeping marks, and she sways slightly like a broken willow when she walks. The whole person looks like Especially charming and affectionate, which makes people feel pity.
Shen Fengzhang took a careful look at the other party's makeup, then at Shen Xiangyao who was walking beside her, withdrew his gaze and let out a sneer. She said how Shen Xiangyao was qualified to attend the Spring Banquet. It turned out that Shen Xiangpei used the "sweeping makeup" and "bending steps" invented by Shen Xiangpei in the future to please the young lady of the Xiao family.
In the novel, the future Shen Xiangpei is more popular than the present. In the future when the Shen family was in trouble, for a period of time she was frowning, and there were tears under her eyes, she looked melancholy and affectionate and charming, but when she was seen by the noble daughters of Jiankang, they rushed to imitate her. For a while in Jiankang, "wowling makeup" and "bending steps" became popular.
"Brother, what were you talking about just now?" The young lady of the Xiao family walked up to Xiao Qilang, said hello to Xie Erlang shyly, and then asked in a low voice.
Xiao Qilang made a perfunctory sentence and asked Yuan Jiulang to continue.
Shen Xiangpei, who was standing aside, saw these companions walking up to her elder brother to say hello. She glanced at Shen Xiangyao who had already walked in front of Shen Jun. Although she was unhappy, she came over to say hello to Shen Jun and Shen Fengzhang.
Shen Fengzhang responded indifferently. Shen Xiangpei was suffocated at first, other people's elder brothers were so outstanding, but her elder brother kept holding her back. Seeing Shen Fengzhang's indifferent attitude at this moment, he became more and more unhappy. After saying hello, he turned and returned to the little lady's side, and stood with a few handkerchiefs.
These little ladies who suddenly appeared did not make Yuan Jiulang forget his original purpose.
"Mr. Shen, why don't you come and taste today's dishes?" Yuan Jiulang put his hands behind his back, looked at Shen Juan and smiled.
Shen Fengzhang felt the people around her get up, and she waited for Shen Jun to speak, but unexpectedly, the system's voice sounded first.
【Ding! Help the hero to get through the difficulties. 】
Hearing this, Shen Fengzhang raised his head and looked at Shen Jun beside him. Although his face was calm, his fingers hanging on one side kept rubbing his knuckles. In the novel, every time Shen Juan got into a stalemate, he behaved like this.
Shen Fengzhang wiped his mouth with the handkerchief on the side, stood up, looked at Yuan Jiulang, "I should answer this question."
"The lord of the county government claims to be a gentleman, and a gentleman is far away from the kitchen. How can he know how to taste food?"
When Shen Fengzhang said this, a sneer overflowed from his lips, and his voice was full of sarcasm, "Brother, do you think I'm right?"
Shen Juan moved his lips and forced a smile, "I'm really not as good as Xiao Langjun." After he finished speaking, he sat down on his own initiative and gave Shen Fengzhang the opportunity.
Most of the people were stunned for a moment, although they had also heard that the two gentlemen of the Shen family were at odds. But I didn't expect that Shen Fengzhang would make trouble in the open today. They looked at Shen Juan who frowned and pursed their lips, as if they were used to this, they all felt compassion. Especially those gentlemen who had bowed to Shen Juan's superb painting skills just now, they were heartbroken when they saw this, as if seeing a bright pearl covered in dust.
One is the Duke of the county who inherited the title, and the other is the illegitimate son of a lowly status. In front of everyone, Shen Fengzhang dared to ridicule Shen Juan like this, and it must have gotten worse behind his back. The master of the Shen family can still practice superb painting skills in this environment. The mountains and rivers in his brushes are vast and magnificent, open and atmospheric, without any haze, which is both admirable and regrettable.
No, they can't let Shen Fengzhang humiliate the eldest son of the Shen family like this!
In fact, Shen Jun, who faced Shen Fengzhang's ridicule, was not as embarrassed, angry, and sad as everyone thought. He lowered his eyes, seemingly depressed, but actually smiled secretly in his heart. If Shen Fengzhang knew that she had helped him by accident, he would definitely regret it.
