Chapter 317

Zhu Yuyan hangs up the phone, her mother-in-law comes to ask her what to eat for lunch. She was so full of things that she didn’t have the time to think about lunch, so she said, “Just make two dishes, no need to be too elaborate.”

The chef had a headache when he heard this. Mr. Su was soaring into the sky, of course he wanted to do his best to flatter him. In this world, being able to work in Mr. Su’s house was equivalent to having a talisman.

So even though Mrs. Su said “whatever”, the chef carefully made two dishes that were not casual at all, all of which were meticulous.

Two hot dishes, a home-baked small yellowtail, a Longjing shrimp; two cold dishes, a rouge pork, a lemon chicken, and finally a soup, clear as water in the soup is a hand-beaten fish meatballs, with green bamboo shoots and black fungus, quietly floating in the soup, take a sip of the mouth on the melting, tender and exaggerated.

Ms. Zhu was drawing up a list of names for today’s afternoon tea, and it gave her a headache.

The first, Hirata Yoshiko must be invited.

Her relationship with the Japanese cannot be broken. The Japanese teacher’s side was one, and Suzuki Saburo’s side was also one. That’s why she had only met at the wedding yesterday, and today she would have to invite Yoshiko Hirata again as a guest.

The second one, she wanted to invite Cai Wenhua’s widow.

Recently, because Mr. Su was promoted too quickly, all kinds of rumors were just too much. Mayor Feng had really run away, although now he had become a “martyr”, but it was just a piece of cloth to hide behind, and there was no need to take Mayor Feng’s family seriously anymore. She also does not have to think about the people on the side of Mayor Feng.

In that case, the only person who can put in a good word for Ms. Su is Cai Wenhua’s widow. Yesterday was a wedding, it is not good to invite her to come, today this afternoon tea will be appropriate, invited to chat a little, see if this person is a reasonable, if you can talk, the following can often take this Mrs. Cai walk around, so as to clean up for Mr. Su.

Of course, these two are not enough. She also needed someone who could talk and make fun.

She thought of Mrs. Shao.

She still had to think about what Mrs. Shao’s husband’s family name was, but she was pretty sure of Mrs. Shao’s ability.

This is just four people, chatting is a bit too little, but also Jiang did not bring his wife, Secretary Zhao is not familiar with, or you can invite two more people to come.

Otherwise play mahjong?

I wish Miss Zhu’s level of mahjong is on the table blindly playing, losing money indiscriminately, nothing else.

This is good, lose money to lose, today came to the people only Hirata Yoshiko dare to win their own, those two should not dare.

The granny came to say that the lunch is ready.

Zhu Yuyan stood up and stretched, saying: “I’m going to eat, stop, you guys find the mahjong table, I’m going to find someone to play mahjong this afternoon. If any of you know how to play come and join in the fun then, don’t let the table be too cold.”

The two grannies both smiled and said, “We remember what ma’am said.”

Zhu Yu Yan went to the dining room and saw this table of four dishes, said spread it, two cold and two hot, not spread it, this dish and are not provincial.

She sat down and ate quietly, saw that there is still a lot left, unfortunately said: “If you do not mind, you can share it, if you do not want to eat the rest of my leftovers, keep it, I will eat with Mr. Su in the evening.”

The granny busily said, “How could I not mind? I haven’t seen meat for days! Mistress don’t worry, the bottom of the plate can be wiped clean!”

Zhu Yuyan smiled and said, “Although our family doesn’t lack food, you all know how people outside live. Don’t be too ostentatious, in the future, when I eat alone at noon, don’t make so many dishes, you tell the chef.”

The granny busily promised and said, “Mistress, do you want to ask the cook to make some snacks? In the afternoon, the guests will also have something to say.”

Zhu Yuyan said, “Alright, have him watch and make a few, don’t make any that are not resistant. Certainly, one of the guests this afternoon is from Japan, and one is a new widow, so cut more fruits, don’t do anything that should be avoided, and don’t use colorful gold tea sets or anything else.”

The grannies all took note of it.

Zhu Yuyan went back to write the invitations and called for the messenger to deliver them.

She said to the messenger, “Be sweet and tell him that I am young and ignorant, although I am a wife, I still don’t understand a lot of things, I am afraid of being alone at home today, so I invited my friends to come to my home to play, if they don’t mind, they will come here for sure, and if they don’t mind, then I will invite them again with an invitation on the day after tomorrow.”

Listening to the messenger said all noted down, Zhu Yuyan said: “If you can drive the car, drive to, do not waste time.”

The guard said, “I’m afraid there will be some delay if all three families are sent here.”

The other listener said, “Ma’am, let Old Zhang drive the car to deliver the Japanese Concession’s share, he can speak a few words of Japanese, I will deliver the rest, in time.”

Zhu Yuyan took the money and gave it to them, “You go in a yellow car. Don’t pity the money when you meet those who want to fight, you’d rather give more than get beaten.” She said to Zhang, the police officer.

Both of them agreed, as they had worked in Mayor Feng’s residence for many years, and knew these things well.

The two of them went out, Zhu Yuyan went back to the house to change clothes, it is not yet one o’clock, she estimated the time, the appointment is five o’clock, that is to make a mess until eight or nine o’clock, Mr. Su came back can still see the guests again.

She slightly lying for an hour, napping a little sleep before getting up to rewash, the two listeners have returned.

Zhang said that he passed two fixed guards, but also encountered a wandering guard.

Zhang: “The Japanese are checking people on the street, even Japanese people, checking each and every one of them. Luckily, I was driving a car with Mr. Su’s ID and a government pass, so they asked me to go through. That’s all, they even asked me if I had a good citizen’s license.”

Zhu Yuyan: “It seems like we really need to get you all a Good Citizen Permit, or else it’s going to be hard to leave the house. What did Ms. Hirata say?”

Zhang hearer: “Ms. Hirata said she will be there and will definitely be on time for the appointment.”

The other one went to just one house and invited both of them.

Zhu Yuyan: “Mrs. Shao is at Mrs. Cai’s house?”

The listener said, “I thought Mrs. Cai was the bereaved family, I should go to her first, but I met a refined and modern lady at Mrs. Cai’s house, I said I had to deliver a post to another guest, and thanked Mrs. Cai for retaining me, the lady asked whose family it was, I thought there was nothing that I couldn’t mention, so I told her, and the lady was overjoyed, thanked me repeatedly, and stuffed me with a large handful of money. money.” He said and took out the money in his pocket to show Zhu Yuyan.

Zhu Yuyan: “Keep it. Since the people have been invited, this is not a bad job. Alright, go and take a rest, you will have to work hard when the guests arrive later.”

The two guards hurriedly said that they would not work hard.

When they came out, Mr. Zhang said, “Mrs. is really a fastidious person, she gave us money and told us to go out to do the job, but she didn’t ask how much money was left, so she should have rewarded us with all the money she had, right?”

The other listener said, “Mrs. and Mr. are both rich people, Mr. is in the red, the family is not short of money, this amount of money is leaked out of the crack of their fingers.”

The two listeners just rushed out to do errands have not eaten yet, at this time rushed to the kitchen, see the kitchen only a bowl of cold rice and a few steamed buns for breakfast.

Zhang hearings said: “I clearly heard that Mrs. rewarded down the dishes, how did not give us two left a mouthful?”

The chef then brought out two bowls of food and said: “How dare I not leave it for you two? This is it, Mrs. left two fish, you two a one, can eat better than us. This also has half a plate of rouge meat.”

Zhang hearthrob went to bring a pot of tea over, the two hearthrob sat on the kitchen table and hurriedly stuffed all the rice that had cooled down into their stomachs.

Zhu Yuyan counted the scheduled five o’clock, the guests should be around four thirty to, the result is less than four o’clock Mrs. Shao and Mrs. Cai arrived.

Mrs. Shao looked better than last time, her color didn’t seem so bad, but she was still as thin as ever.

She smiled and said: “Congratulations, congratulations, really make me happy! Mrs. Shao doesn’t judge people by their portals, and is still willing to look me in the eye, which makes me not know how to thank you. I thought that Mrs. today to feast guests, there must be I can contribute to the place in advance to come, Mrs. what command just say.”

With that, she put her hands together and performed a crouching bow at her waist.

Mrs. Cai followed behind Mrs. Shao, somewhat constrainedly said handing over a thick gift, and respectfully said, “I wish you good luck. Don’t mind my bad luck, if it wasn’t for your invitation, I would never have dared to come to your door.”

Zhu Yuyan one hand a pull said: “Do not be polite to me, I am young, than you are small, let me rely on a small sell a time, my family raised me to raise rough, I have no rules, yesterday’s wedding did not invite the two is that I should be guilty, today to hurry to invite the two to come, as long as you two do not blame me on the good. Come in and sit down.”

She said to Mrs. Shao, “Men’s business is men’s business, I’ve known you for a long time, and I’ve admired your character before, you are a heroine and heroine who is willing to fight for herself, no matter what men think, as a woman, I admire you.”

Mrs. Shao’s eyes flashed and she said with a smile, “I am not as good as you say.”

Zhu Yuyan: “The men are also wrapped in small feet and don’t go out of the door, so they can’t suffocate the women to death. If we don’t go along with their wishes, we become ungentlewomen, and I haven’t seen a man get scolded for sleeping with a few more women?”

Mrs. Shao had heard this before, but what was in the heart of the person who said it was unknown. The rarest thing is that Mrs. Su is so young, but she dares to say so, she is not any old man, although there is juvenile spirit in this statement, but there are also a few points of sincerity and truthfulness in it.

Mrs. Shao was naturally touched.

Mrs. Cai naturally looked down on Mrs. Shao, but now that Cai Wenhua had died, she found herself in the right place in terms of youth, and of course she refused to give Cai Wenhua a widowhood, which is why she made friends with Mrs. Shao, because she found that she needed to draw on Mrs. Shao’s experience.

But she was conscious of her higher rank and greater learning than Mrs. Shaw, and naturally her belt had to be tighter.

She is absolutely refused to be a small, and again looking for a man to be explicitly married before counting.

Mrs. Cai smiled and said, “This is called the golden wind and rain a meet.”

Mrs. Shao has never read it.

Zhu Yuyan turned to Mrs. Cai and said with a smile, “You and I are also golden winds and rainbows, and you can only have one meeting with a man, but women can have several meetings by themselves.”

The three of them laughed, whether they understood or not.

Zhu Yuyan then called out to the maidservants to serve tea and snacks.

Dim sum set on, tea steeped on, let over a round, three people are sweet mouth after, Zhu Yuyan only said: “later also come to a Japanese guest, is a Japanese lady, unmarried, named Hirata Yoshiko. Don’t worry, she is very good to talk, then we play mahjong together, don’t know Japanese doesn’t matter.”

Mrs. Cai said, “I do know Japanese. I went to a Japanese women’s university back then.”

Of course Mrs. Shao does not, she also found that Mrs. Cai who was still holding her up before has been replaced by another person to hold her up, she stuffed a piece of chess cake into her mouth and did not say anything.

Zhu Yuyan said, “That’s just right. We’ll have to ask for your help then, Mrs. Cai.” She then turned to Mrs. Shao and said, “I don’t know how to play mahjong. I’m going to lose big today. You guys have fun today, don’t worry about it, just don’t let Ms. Hirata lose too much, and it’s better if she wins a little bit.”

Mrs. Shao quickly smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’m here, when the time comes, I’ll be your underling and will definitely not let you lose!”

Mrs. Shao realized that Zhu Er Miss is a natural figure with eight sides, it seems that she doesn’t have much use for her today.

She thought to herself, “No wonder Mr. Su’s heart is all tied up in Zhu Er Miss, which man wouldn’t love such a good wife?
