"〞The fastest update, no pop-ups!
More than ten days ago, when Shen Moyun came to Changningbo Mansion, it was a comfortable and elegant place, but today, this princess's mansion was completely rid of the coldness of that day, and suddenly became noble and graceful.
Full of flowers and red lights, accompanied by maids and carriages shuttling back and forth, all of them are lively and cheerful and orderly.
In front of the hanging flower door of the carved beams and painted columns, the warbler is coquettish, the dark fragrance floats, the carriages stop in an orderly manner, and the young ladies who are fat and thin are politely handed over the name post, sent a salute, and walked into the two doors with joy.
Shen Moyun took a closer look, and everyone called the banquet on the sixth day of the first month of the Changning Mansion "a thousand golden banquets".
The people who came to the banquet were all girls in their cardamom years.
Almost all of the girls come from famous families, most of them are between the ages of twelve and fifteen, and they are all graceful, graceful and graceful.
She once asked Yao Huang, in addition to relieving loneliness, does the eldest princess have any other purpose in holding such a "golden banquet" once or twice every year?
Yao Huang said it clearly, it turned out that this was a well-known secret in the capital.
The eldest princess has had nothing to do since Chang Ningbo's death.
The emperor persuaded her to remarry, but the eldest princess refused.
&nbsbsbs, she fell in love with "matchmaking" for others and became a matchmaker.
And the marriage with the eldest princess as a guarantee is naturally decent and safe, and soon, the wives of many high-ranking officials and nobles began to ask the eldest princess for marriage.
Since the eldest princess is happy to do this, she will not do two endlessly, and hold two banquets a year, one banquet for the sixth day of the first month, and one banquet for August 15, called the Thousand Golden Banquet, in fact, it is one of the best in the capital, and the daughters who enjoy the name of the boudoir are for those ladies to see.
Shen Moyun didn't agree much with this! Although she and the eldest princess only had a one-sided relationship, she felt that the eldest princess was a resolute, lonely, arrogant and noble woman.
Such a person, no matter how you look at it, doesn't look like a person who likes to match people like three aunts and six women! She guessed, maybe there is something in it that everyone doesn't know, right?
I heard that in recent years, the eldest princess no longer invites her wives to the banquet, but will directly invite some noble sons who have not yet married to participate. Sometimes she even wants the girls to have a little contact with the sons to deepen their understanding.
It is rumored that the eldest princess and Chang Ningbo were not bound by etiquette and religion, they were free to marry, and they were appointed by the first emperor to marry after they fell in love.
Maybe this is the reason why the eldest princess does not shy away from men and women and is open-minded?
However, due to the esteemed status of the eldest princess and the strict care in the princess's mansion, the families of the major daughters seem to turn a blind eye to this, and slightly "let the girls in the family participate" in this "rebellious" activity.
The ladies who grew up under the strict constraints of the Great Zhou Dynasty etiquette usually can see clearly whether their husbands are tall or short, fat or thin after marriage.
Therefore, almost all the sons and girls in the entire capital dream that they can participate in this banquet.
It is precisely because of this that from Shen Mu, Lu Shi, Shen Ling, to Shen Mohuan, Wu Xiaoyu will take such a fancy to this opportunity.
You must know that the eldest princess has carefully selected the candidates for the banquet.
Whether it is a son or a girl, it is the dragon and phoenix among people.
If you can see it right, it will be a win-win situation for both families.
At the same time, such a banquet also has a hidden purpose, which is to elect the best among the daughters of the capital.
The eldest princess can take the opportunity to find a few well-informed beauties for the emperor's younger brother who doesn't like beauty in the palace. At the same time, she can also help her intellectually deficient son to see her daughter-in-law by the way.
Listening to Yao Huang, the eldest princess will turn out a lot of fresh tricks to test her every year's golden banquet.
As everyone knows, what awaits the daughters this year?
Shen Moyun had just gotten out of the carriage when a crisp and pleasant cheer came from behind him.
"Sister of the Shen family, please stay!"
I saw a girl in a light orange hibiscus flower jacket also getting off the carriage, and when she saw Shen Moyun looking back, she showed a bright smile.
The girl's long phoenix eyes and bright eyes are good, but she is not disgusting.
It's just that Shen Moyun really doesn't remember who this young lady in front of her is, how can she take a bite of Miss Shen!
But that girl is really familiar, and she is not afraid of strangeness as soon as she comes up, so she directly came up and grabbed Shen Moyun:
"Sister Shen is good! My surname is Mo! My father is Qin Tian Jian Zheng Mo Wuqi! I am the second lady of the Mo family!"
"Yes!" Although this young lady looked gentle and enthusiastic, Shen Moyun was slow to heat, and secretly withdrew her hand and saluted with Shen Mohuan: "Hello sister! My sister is the eldest daughter of Shen Mu, Shen Moyun, the head of the household, and this is my fifth sister, Shen Mohuan." I don't know what my sister is called?"
"This ......" Miss Mo, who had been smiling brightly, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled embarrassedly, "My sister just calls me Sister Mo!
Shen Moyun was also stunned, this Miss Mo Er was as enthusiastic as fire, why didn't she want to report her reputation? She was surprised, but her face was still indifferent, and she didn't ask questions, she only followed the guide maid into the princess's mansion with Miss Mo Er.
"It's the first time for the two younger sisters to come to this Changning Bo Mansion, right?" asked Miss Mo Er enthusiastically.
Shen Moyun was about to reply, but she didn't want this Miss Mo to answer her, but she opened her mouth again, causing Shen Moyun and Shen Mohuan to look at each other.
And what is even more surprising is that this Miss Mo Er's mind is so jumping, and she did not follow up on what she just said, but quietly whispered in Shen Moyun's ear: "My sister must wonder how my sister knows you, right?"
That Miss Mo covered her mouth and smiled: "I saw the majesty of my sister on the street just now! I also saw the miserable appearance of your second sister! Haha, it's really happy! Shen Moqing's dead girl...... "That Miss Mo is really straightforward, and only then did she realize that what she said was inappropriate, and she closed her mouth stupidly."
"It's okay!"
"I know that my sister is generous!, so I will be blunt!" Miss Mo really couldn't help but say excitedly: "Sister doesn't know, I had a fight with your second sister at the flower viewing banquet in Wangfu last year!"
Shen Moyun and Shen Mohuan were stunned.
Hit jià?between the young ladies at the banquet?
"But we were in the woods, and no one saw it! The dead girl's mouth was not clean, and I bit her hard, and I tore off a strand of her hair. Ha! I just saw her fall into the chicken coop and couldn't stand up, with a face of chicken feathers and chicken dung, it was really happy! I also lost her a luxurious red dress, but I was afraid that the hens thought it was the red cockscomb on the rooster's head, so they fluttered around her......!
It's interesting...... (To be continued.) )
