The next day was the day of the banquet of the Marquis of Xingyuan.

Zhou Mingshan got up early to clean up, the black green silk pulled a child, with a southern red agate bead flower on her head, and picked a light primrose-colored gown. In the end, it is good to be young, even if it is not rouge gouache, it looks like a good color.

Because the Yuan family is already old, it is not very convenient to move, although this banquet is mainly for the third master Zhou Ze, but there is a grandmother who presides over the feed, and there is no need for her to go out to pick up guests and treat people, so she only stays in the listening and resting room.

In this way, Zhou Mingshan wanted to go over earlier, so that he could help somewhat.

The guests were arranged in Chunhui Hall and the Conglu Hall next to it, and the Jiayuan across the pond invited male guests.

When Zhou Mingshan arrived, the five large flower halls in Cong Lu Hall had all been opened, and they were full of black lacquered square tables, and the plates on the table were filled with all kinds of melons and fruits, and the high tables in the corner were full of flowers and bonsai, and the fragrance could be smelled from a distance, and the mirror-like floor tiles reflected a soft luster under the illumination of the bright octagonal glass lamp above.

The eldest grandmother and a few housekeepers are arranging inspections there, so as not to pay attention to anything that goes wrong.

After a while, the girls from the other rooms also came.

When I asked for peace in Chunhui Hall, Mrs. Hou Yang and the eldest grandmother ordered, there were many guests here today, and the second and fourth grandmothers took care of them in Chunhui Hall, and several of their girls stayed in Cong Lutang to greet them, who is responsible for which people, each has its own duties, and told a lot of precautions.

As the sun gradually rises, the Ning'an County Palace, Guangyuan Bofu, Dingcheng Bofu, Qingping Marquis and other people who have relatives in contact with Xingyuan Marquis Mansion or move around a lot on weekdays have come.

At this time, it was the time when the spring banquet was completed, and there was no collision with Beppu, and there were more guests than expected.

Zhou Mingshan followed everyone to salute and greet her, and as familiar faces appeared in front of her, she actually felt like she was in a different world.

Jian Qingqing, the small county lord of the Wangfu family in Ning'an County, Bai You, the daughter of General Shenwei, Wen Lan'er, the eldest aunt and niece, Wen Qing'er, the second aunt and niece, Ma Jingyuan, Ma Jingshu, and Ma Jingxian, as well as Jia Xinyi, Wang Anling, and Cao E, who entered the palace in their previous lives......

In her previous life, she was also a frequent guest at various banquets. Especially after getting to know Jia Xinyi, she kept inviting small banquets, even if her mother didn't go out often, she also met a lot of girls and young ladies.

There's a new guest today. It is Mu Yurou of the Xianguo Mansion, she came with the second wife Cui.

At this moment, Cui's was talking to Yang with a smile, "I heard that a noble house invited Deyin and Huiqing class to play today, and my mother wanted to come over to join in the fun, but I didn't want to get up today and felt a little uncomfortable." She still regrets it, saying that she will carry it next time!"

As soon as he said this, everyone present laughed, and the eyes of the ladies and grandmothers of Xingyuan Houfu were a little different.

Duchess Xianguo followed Duke Xianguo in office and was not in the capital, but since Mrs. Cui Er came, and specially explained the reason why Mrs. Xianguo failed to come, whether it was true or false, it shows that the rumors a while ago are not false, and the Xianguo Mansion and the Xingyuan Marquis Mansion are moving more and more diligently.

Cui Shi gave such a big face, and Yang Shi is not stupid. Affectionately took her hand and said angrily, "I'll say a lot, since Mrs. Tai is uncomfortable, you should serve at home, and we don't talk about it!"

The concubine said the same, but her mother disagreed, saying that she was just a recurrence of her old disease, and there were a lot of mothers-in-law and girls around her to take care of her, and she didn't need me to serve. Let me come over for a day with peace of mind, and let me bring all the big girls here!"

Listening to the mention of herself, Mu Yurou, who was snuggling up to Cui's side, was blessed with a blessed body.

A beautiful makeup gown, with good skin. The frost is as white as snow, as delicate as clotted cream, and the eyes are so big and bright that they are flickering and flattering.

I didn't expect Mu Yurou to come too, the last time I saw her, I thought she should be a very lively girl. Now it seems that she and the Cui family should also have a close relationship.

Hearing Mrs. Cui say this, the smile on Yang's face deepened, and he patted the back of her hand, "Okay, good, since your mother-in-law cherishes you so much, then you will be happy for a day!" After speaking, he took Mu Yurou's hand and praised it.

After all the guests arrived, everyone sat down.

After eating, rinse your hands and mouth, your wife and grandmother will go to the garden behind to watch the play, and if you are not happy to be lively, you will stay in Chunhui Hall to touch the cards.

Most of the girls moved to the Cong Green Hall, where the small table was already full of all kinds of fruits, tea, and everyone sat together in twos and threes.

Most of the people who come here don't like to listen to the opera or are impatient to sit for a long time, and the Hou Mansion has already prepared all kinds of fun and tricks that the girls like, such as throwing pots, enjoying flowers, poetry and so on.

"Sister Shan?"

Zhou Mingshan was looking around, looking for anything she had taken care of, when she suddenly heard someone calling her.

It turned out to be Bai You, who was staring at her with a pair of round eyes wide open, looking annoyed.

"Didn't we make an appointment to go together this year, do we have new friends now and don't want to play with us?"

Zhou Mingshan smiled, Bai You was her other sister who had the best relationship besides Jia Xinyi. is different from Jia Xinyi, Bai You and her personalities are very similar, the two of them are talking and laughing together, and they are indescribably happy.

Since she was reborn, first caught up with her grandmother's birthday, then the New Year, her father would try, and her mother had a miscarriage, and she was so busy that she had no time to take care of it, and where did she have time to go out and have fun, so she refused the posts sent by Bai You.

"You also know, my mother is pregnant, and there have been a lot of things in the past few months, I'm really embarrassed......"

In fact, she has long been so busy that she has forgotten about things, and the relationship between her two lives and these girlfriends seems to be a little rusty, but it is not easy to show it at the moment, which makes people suspicious, "I will be the host another day and invite you back!"

Although she has the meaning of being careful, she has a gentle attitude and a generous expression, if it was before, if she buried Zhou Mingshan like this, I am afraid that she would be annoyed immediately!

Bai You was a little stunned.

"Hey, what's wrong? Didn't you say it wasn't intentional?" Bai You shouldn't be such a cautious person?

"Oh, no, I'm a little unaccustomed!" Bai You was woken up by her, and smiled embarrassedly, "You are really different from before, Xinyi told me before, I still don't believe it!"

Zhou Mingshan's heart moved, and she said quietly, "Of course, after the New Year, I am a year older, and I can't still be the same as before!"

"That's right!" Speaking of this, Bai You seemed to be very happy, "My mother also said that I am more sensible this year!"

"By the way, I told you before that you didn't come, I helped you find "Lu Girl Post", and I brought it to you today!"

"Really, thank you so much, Yu'er!"

After getting the Dharma that he had been looking for, Zhou Mingshan was indeed very happy, and felt that the relationship with Bai You had also recovered a little closer.

"It turns out that Sister Shan also likes calligraphy, no wonder grandmother always praises you for copying good scriptures, even compared to the eldest brother's!"

I don't know when, Mu Yurou also stood next to them. (To be continued.) )
