Chapter 490 What can stump a foodie?

This was Wang Miaoshuang's excuse that she had thought about for two days. She would rather be accused of being lax in running the house and having her subordinates spread rumors than admit that she was the one who went crazy and went to Meng Liangsheng's study yard to cause a scene.

"Doctor Bai has done meritorious service in treating the old lady. He is a distinguished guest of the Meng Mansion. He also saved the seriously injured guard that day. He is a meritorious person. How can he be wronged like this?" Wang Miao's teeth grinded loudly. Fortunately, he left. No one from far away can hear it.

"I, the princess, am here to say sorry to Doctor Bai. She has been wronged because of my lax management of the family. Today, all the ladies are here, so you can be witnesses. You must explain clearly when you go back. Don't let Doctor Bai do it again." I'm aggrieved." Wang Miaoshuang forced a smile and said.

At this time, a report came outside that the old lady had arrived. Everyone stood up from their seats and saluted. The old lady was an elder and the mother of the city lord, and no one among the guests had a higher status than her.

The old lady wore the forehead wipe given by Bai Ruozhu and walked in in a good mood. She said with a smile: "Everyone, get up quickly. If you are so polite again, my wife will have no choice but to retreat to her own yard."

Everyone stood up in a hurry, and some of them were more lively and said a few auspicious words to the old lady. Some even praised the old lady's forehead wiping as being particularly unique. This was the first time they had seen her.

The old lady's smile became even stronger and she said: "This is what Doctor Bai gave me as a gift. I heard what the Princess said just now when I entered the door. I feel ashamed to say that I have made Ruozhu feel wronged. I haven't slept well these days." , I feel sorry for him in my heart."

Bai Ruozhu hurriedly blessed his body and said, "Old Madam, what you say is serious. What others say is just gossip. As time goes by, it will become clear whether it is black or white. You don't have to worry about it. You must cherish your body."

The old lady nodded with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay. Now that I've made it clear, I can sleep well at night."

The female family members of the official family who were present were all human beings. They hurriedly agreed with the old lady's words. They did not dare to scold the "diao slave" of the Meng family, so they could only praise Bai Ruozhu. Not only did they praise her for her superb medical skills, but also praised her She is ingenious.

Bai Ruozhu felt ironic in her heart. She had looked down on her just a moment ago, but she still had a faint smile on her face and thanked everyone.

Someone noticed that although Bai Ruozhu is a country woman with no background in her family, she is calm and generous in manners. She is not angry when she is despised by others, and is not proud when she is praised by others. This demeanor is really comparable to that of our wives. .

"I heard that the Bai family comes from a family of farming and studying. It's really different." Someone murmured in a low voice.

"Yes, how can a daughter from a scholar's family be so bad?" Another lady said with a very superior feeling.

Then Wang Miaoshuang invited everyone to sit at the table. Bai Ruozhu was arranged to sit at the same table with the old lady, Wang Miaoshuang, and the most senior ladies, but she was not able to sit at the same table with Yu Hongxiu.

Cold dishes were already placed on the table. When the maids saw the ladies seated, they hurriedly brought the hot dishes one after another.

Bai Ruozhu looked at the plate in front of her, and a smile couldn't help but appear on her lips. This Wang Miaoshuang is still unwilling to give in.

The arrangement of the dishes in front of her was very interesting, including fish, chicken, vegetables, and even a large plate of crabs. However, if you look carefully, you will see that they are all unpalatable dishes.

This "not delicious" does not mean that it tastes bad, but that it is inconvenient to maintain your manners when eating.

For example, there were two plates of whole fish on the table. Bai Ruozhu recognized one of them as sturgeon, which was famous for having few spines, but it was far away from her, and the fish in front of her happened to be a fish with many spines; in addition, chicken It's also very good, but it's spicy chicken with a lot of chopped red pepper on it. Considering Bai Ruozhu's experience of being harmed by green onion leaves, she also knows the power of this spicy chicken.

In addition, it's the crab. Logically speaking, the time for eating crabs has passed. But this is what your noble family pays attention to at the banquet. Everyone has to show off and eat.

When eating a banquet, you can't stand up or stretch your arms to pick up vegetables, let alone just sit without eating at all, so these dishes are obviously meant to embarrass Bai Ruozhu.

If it were the predecessor who grew up in the countryside, he would definitely have problems eating such dishes quickly and lose face on the spot. So that everyone can see that even if she can cure diseases again and gets an apology from Mrs. Meng, she is still just a country woman with no reputation.

Bai Ruozhu snickered, she was a foodie. Would a foodie be stumped by food? Especially this crab, Wang Miaoshuang probably thought she had never seen it before, but she didn't know how many plump crabs there were in her spatial pond.

It's just that she was breastfeeding and was afraid that the crabs would be too cold for her baby, so she kept watching them without daring to eat them.

Nanny Lu quickly noticed Bai Ruozhu's situation and wanted to help Bai Ruozhu pick out fish bones from behind. However, she was the nanny next to the old lady. She hadn't done this kind of thing in years, and she was older. Her eyes couldn't see clearly, and she was really afraid that she couldn't pick it well.

Everyone moved their chopsticks, Bai Ruozhu gave Nanny Lu a look of relief, and followed the others to pick up a piece of fish meat. Then she saw that she easily opened the meat, and quickly picked out a few fish bones with her chopsticks, and then... Put the fish meat in your mouth.

Wang Miao's eyes flashed slightly. She didn't expect that Bai Ruozhu's hands were so flexible and he could pick out the fish bones so quickly.

Then, she smiled and asked the maid to bring spicy chicken and crabs to Bai Ruozhu, and said enthusiastically: "Doctor Bai must eat well."

Bai Ruozhu smiled and said, "I'm too angry and can't eat spicy food, so I'll just eat this crab."

After she finished speaking, she asked the maid on the side for eight pieces of crabs. Then, when no one else could react at all, she used a tool to pry open the crabs with graceful movements, and then took two casual bites.

It's okay to eat less, but she always has to show off. If she were to directly say that she couldn't eat anything in front of her, it would appear that she was being picky, and others would say that she was narrow-minded.

Wang Miaoshuang's eyes darkened even more. She had no idea how Bai Ruozhu, a country woman, could know these table manners. I'm afraid she had never even been exposed to a nanny, so why did she do it so elegantly and gracefully? ?

Everyone looked at Bai Ruozhu's movements and couldn't help but look at her a few more times. Nowadays in Danliang Kingdom, eating crabs is a custom among the nobles. Ancient people eating crabs is just like modern people eating Western food. How to eat it and whether the movements are good or not are all. It can show a person's etiquette and identity.

By the end of the banquet, Wang Miaoshuang had no chance to embarrass Bai Ruozhu. She did not dare to do any more exaggerated actions. She could only grit her teeth and watch Bai Ruozhu leave with the old lady and return to Youran Residence.

"Ruozhu, I really saw you right. Your future is boundless." After entering Youran Residence, the old lady suddenly said. It turned out that she had seen everything.
