After the husband and wife finished eating the persimmons, Banxia and Banqin brought water into the house.

After cleaning his hands, Yuxi asked Yunqing: "When will General Feng and General Cui come back?"

Yun Qing thought for a moment and said, "Let's get the end of the month, but what's the matter?"

Yuxi smiled and said, "I want to hold a celebration banquet to celebrate your destruction of the Northern Captives." ”

Yunqing refused: "Now that the finances are tight, what are you doing with this unjust money?" How can it cost thousands of taels of silver to hold a big banquet, which is relatively simple.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "It's rare to have such a big happy event, how can it be quiet." This banquet is a must. ”

Although Yunqing felt that it was unnecessary, Yuxi's attitude was resolute and he didn't want to ruin the fun, so he immediately nodded and agreed: "I wrote to the army and asked them to rush back before the banquet." "The follow-up matters in the army are almost dealt with, and the rest of the matters can be handed over to Gao Rusong and Chu Shaoguang.

Yuxi took out a dark color dress from the closet and said to Yunqing: "Come and try it, if it doesn't fit, let them change it." "Yunqing has lost a lot of weight compared to half a year ago, this dress is made according to the height and body shape of half a year ago, and now it is obviously wider.

The clothes shook off, and I saw that the chest of the clothes was embroidered with two four-clawed golden dragon patterns, and the cuffs were embroidered with gold threads and auspicious cloud patterns. Refracted under the light, it emits a dazzling golden light.

Yun Qing looked at the clothes and frowned and said, "Isn't this dress too luxurious?"

Yuxi said, "This is for you to wear at the banquet." "It's okay to be plain on weekdays, but it's the occasion that you can't dress casually. This has something to do with Yuxi's education, no matter what, you can't lose face.

Yunqing didn't like such luxurious clothes, but they were carefully prepared by Yuxi, and they were all ready to be wasted if they were not worn, so he reluctantly agreed.

Waiting for Yunqing to get dressed, Yuxi said with a smile: "Sure enough, people rely on clothes and Buddha rely on gold." "Yunqing wears it like this, not only looks rich, but also very imposing.

Yun Qing touched the material and said, "Such a piece of clothing, you have to pay a few hundred taels, right?" Yuxi was reluctant, he was reluctant to spend so much money on clothes.

Yuxi said with a smile: "I see Zaojube's door-slamming temperament, which is completely like you." "The material of this clothes is cloud brocade, plus the gold and silver coins and embroidery, which is enough for ordinary people to spend for ten years. But she wouldn't say this to Yunqing.

In addition to not being like him in the matter of Wu Jinyu, jujube jujube is indeed very similar in other aspects. Yun Qing said: "She is my species, not like who else can I look like." ”

Yuxi laughed, looked at it carefully and said, "The waist and sleeves are a little wide, so they have to be made smaller." ”

After trying, Yunqing took off his clothes. I was very careful when I took off my clothes, as if I was afraid that I would accidentally tear them.

Yuxi was a little amused when she saw this, but she didn't say anything.

Yun Qing handed the clothes to Yuxi and asked, "What about yours, also wear them for me?" Yuxi's clothes must be better than his.

Yuxi folded his clothes and said, "It will take a few days for my clothes to be ready." "Yuxi's clothes are more cumbersome, and the time it takes will naturally be longer.

Yunqing has some regrets.

Yuxi thought for a while and said, "I set the day of the banquet at the end of this month, what do you think?"

Yunqing had no objection: "Tell me when the date is set, I will write to Dajun and Cui Mo." ”

Finally, the celebration banquet was set for October 27th. This time, the celebration banquet was personally organized by Yuxi. Thinking that Zao Zao would get married in two years, Yuxi asked her to study with her.

This banquet is for civil and military officials, and the process is different from the previous invitation of official wives to come over as guests.

With an invitation card still on the side, Zao Zao touched her head and said, "Mother, I have a terrible headache, you let me go back!" She was really impatient to deal with these things, feeling that she was wasting time. She would rather go to sleep than do it.

Liu Er said, "Eldest sister, when you are the master of your own house, you will definitely have a banquet." If you don't learn now, what will you do when it's time to hold a banquet? You can't just rely on the people below, right?"

Zao Zao leaned back on the chair, touched his head with his hand and said, "Then I will talk about it then, mother, I have a headache, I want to go back and rest!"

Yuxi put down the brush and said with a smile: "If you go to see Wu Jinyu now, will you have a headache?"

Zao Zao said bitterly: "Mother, then when will you let me meet Jin Yu?" Last time I was in the garden, I said a few words to Jin Yu.

Yuxi picked up the water, drank a small half cup, put the cup down and said, "Good behave, let you meet after the banquet is over." "If you don't behave well, then don't think about it.

Zao Zao said helplessly: "Listen to my mother!"

Liu Er pursed her lips and laughed when she heard this, and only her mother could cure the eldest sister.

After the invitation is prepared, the flow of the banquet and the gold and silver utensils and ornaments during the meal must be arranged, and even the location must be arranged so that no mistakes can be made. These things are very cumbersome. Fortunately, Yunqing can help deal with some government affairs, and Yuxi can spare half a day every day to take care of these things.

Yun Qing saw that Yuxi was not idle, and said, "It's just this once, don't hold any celebration banquets in the future." "It's not just a waste of money, it's a toss-up.

Yuxi smiled and said, "Okay." ”

Yuxi was discussing the banquet with Qu's mother, when she heard Meilan say that the second uncle's wife was coming.

Lu Xiu came over this time because Han Jianming asked him to choose a wife for Brother Chang'er.

Seeing Lu Xiu's sad face, Yuxi asked Liu Er to go down with Zaojube and asked, "Second sister-in-law, what is the embarrassing thing you encounter?"

Lu Xiu said with a sad face: "Yesterday, I received a letter from the eldest master, and he asked me to set up a family affair for Brother Chang in Ho City. Princess, Brother Chang is the eldest son of the Han family, and he will inherit the family business in the future. How can the good old man let me show Brother Chang a girl?"

If you set up a family affair and let her help handle the marriage matters, you will admit that you are tired. can let her choose the future second grandmother, she doesn't dare to take over this matter. In case it is thankless to see that it is a walk-in eye, forget it, and you have to suffer a lifetime of complaints.

Yuxi was a little surprised: "What about the letter? "Entrusting Brother Chang'er's marriage to the second sister-in-law is not like the eldest brother's style of acting.

After reading Xin Yuxi, he was sure of one thing, Brother Chang must have done something unsafe in Jiangnan, so Han Jianming wanted to set him a girl with a good family background.

After thinking for a while, Yuxi said: "Since the eldest brother has opened his mouth, you can help each other according to his requirements." Pick a candidate who meets the requirements of the eldest brother, and then I will ask people to carefully explore the details. In the end, it is up to the eldest brother to decide which one to decide. "The candidate for the second grandmother of the Han family, in the end, Han Jianming has to make the decision, and others can't do it for him. Just as Lu Xiu worried, everyone is good if they choose well, and if they don't choose well, they will be complained.

Seeing Yuxi say this, Lu Xiu could only nod his head if he was reluctant. She really hopes that Han Jianming will find a daughter-in-law quickly, so that she can not worry about the big house.

After sending Lu Xiu away, Yuxi called Yu Zhi over and asked, "Did Brother Chang make any trouble?" Yu Zhi was in charge of intelligence work, if Brother Chang'er's matter was relatively big, he should know.

Yu Zhi told the Niu family girl about Yingxiang: "Lord Han is very angry and locked up Second Master Han, and he hasn't released it yet. Because this was just Han Jianming's housework, Yuxi didn't ask him and didn't say anything.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "No wonder I want to find a powerful daughter-in-law for Brother Chang." "How can Brother Chang'er's temperament support the Han family's family business, and finding a powerful daughter-in-law can help one or two.

In the evening, Yun Qing deliberately asked, "I heard that the Lu family was sad when they came to look for you today, but what is the difficulty?"

Yuxi told Brother Chang about it, and sighed after finishing speaking: "If he is not the eldest son of Dafang, it is not a big deal if he is soft-hearted, but he is the eldest son who will inherit the family business in the future." ”

Yunqing said: "Since it is not suitable, don't let him inherit the family business." ”

Yuxi shook his head and said: "Brother Chang is the eldest son, who will inherit if he doesn't inherit the family business?"

Yunqing thinks that Brother Hua is very good, and his temperament is stable and martial arts, so he can inherit the family business of the Han family. But looking at Yuxi's expression, he didn't say what he thought in his heart: "This is something that my uncle should worry about." "It's not their son, and he's too lazy to bother with this god.

After a pause, Yun Qing asked, "How are the preparations for the banquet?" The army and Cui Mo should be able to arrive in the next two days. ”

Yuxi nodded and said, "It's all ready." "This is the first time in thirteen years that the palace has held such a formal banquet. These days, the people of the King's Mansion are busy without touching the ground. Mother Qu is even more eager to divide one person into two people to use.

Feng Dajun and Cui Mo returned to Ho City, and they didn't go back to the palace to meet Yunqing and Yuxi directly.

Yuxi looked at the appearance of the two of them and smiled tactfully: "The two generals have worked hard. ”

Feng Dajun shook his head and said, "The princess is only working hard to guard the rear. "If it weren't for Yuxi to stabilize the rear, this battle wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

After saying a few polite words, Yuxi said to Yunqing: "You talk, I'll go and let the kitchen prepare wine and food, and you can have a good drink today." ”

Seeing that Feng Dajun and Cui Mo refused, Yun Qing smiled and said, "Don't refuse. On weekdays, the princess doesn't let me drink wine, but today I can drink a cup by your light. ”

Yuxi said angrily: "What nonsense? Really, I feel like a tigress." ”

Cui Mo didn't say it, but in his heart, he slandered, princess, you are more terrible than a tigress.

Yunqing was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "It's all my own family, there is nothing that can't be said." ”

When it came to this, Feng Dajun and Cui Mo did not refuse: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

Waiting for Yuxi to leave the study, Cui Mo asked with a look of surprise: "Lord, what kind of elixir has the princess taken, why is she getting younger and younger?" His daughter-in-law is six years older than the princess, if she stands with the princess, she will definitely think that she is two generations.

Feng Dajun is very helpless, this guy is really open-mouthed, and he can ask this.

Yun Qing didn't feel anything abrupt, on the contrary, Yuxi was praised for being young and he was very happy. According to Yuxi, she looks young because she is living happily, and a woman who lives a boring and sad life looks old. Yun Qing smiled and said, "If there is a panacea waiting for you to ask, I will eat it early." ”

Cui Mo glanced at Yunqing, nodded very sincerely, and said, "Yes." ”

I don't know why, Yun Qing was sullen when he heard this.

Soon, it was time for the celebration feast. This celebration banquet is of a relatively high standard, and only officials with more than four grades in the city can participate.

If it is in the capital, such a large celebration banquet is generally held in the evening and in the main hall of the palace. At night, the palace is lit up with colorful lanterns and flags, which is very beautiful. However, Yuxi's celebration banquet is held during the day, which not only saves costs, but also makes it easier.

Meilan entered the house and replied: "Princess, the guests have arrived." "Important, of course, are the last to arrive.

The husband and wife walked towards the main hall with the four brothers of Brother Hao, and when they arrived at the entrance, Xu Wu shouted loudly: "The prince, the princess, the prince ......" It's not that Yuxi doesn't bring dates and Liu'er, but the two of them don't want to come.

When the ministers of civil and military affairs in the main hall heard this, they all stood up.

Feng Dajun looked up at it and was stunned for three seconds, realizing that his performance was not quite right, and immediately lowered his head.

Yun Qing was wearing a dark python robe embroidered with a four-clawed golden dragon, a golden silk spider stripe of the same color was tied around his waist, and his black hair was fixed with a crown inlaid with blue gilt, standing on it, making people feel unattainable.

Yuxi wore a golden court dress embroidered with peonies, a delicate jade belt around her waist, a high bun, a red gold ruby dotted phoenix hairpin on her head, and ruby earrings on her ears.

Yuxi's usual clothes are relatively simple, but today's dress is so rich and gorgeous, which really surprises everyone.

After the two sat down, Tan Tuo led everyone to kneel down and give a big gift to Yunqing and his wife and Qihao.

Yun Qing was a little unaccustomed to such an occasion, but he still waved his hand and said, "All the adults get up!"

The crowd shouted again, and then they all got up.

After Yun Qing sat down, he smiled at everyone and said, "It's rare for everyone to get together today, don't be restrained, those red tape and etiquette are also omitted, just like everyone usually gathers, talking, eating and drinking at will." ”

It was also the first time for Qi Hao and the triplets to participate in such a grand banquet, and several of them straightened up with serious faces. Even if Yunqing said such a call, it didn't make them change in the slightest.

After Yunqing's opening remarks were finished, he looked at Yuxi and said, "It's your turn." ”

Yuxi glanced at Meilan beside her. Meilan raised her voice and said, "Serve the wine." ”

The servants standing behind the officials stepped forward to pour wine for the adults when they heard this.

Yuxi and Yunqing signaled, and the husband and wife stood up. Yuxi raised his wine glass high and said, "I don't say much, I just hope that the next celebration banquet with everyone will be in the Jinluan Palace." These words unabashedly revealed Yuxi's ambition.

After drinking the wine in their hands, the civil ministers knelt on the ground and shouted: "The prince is Chitose Chitose Chitose, and the princess is Chitose Chitose Chitose." "The sound shook the earth and shook people's ears.

Qi Hao saw Brother Rui finish drinking the fruit wine, and reminded in a low voice: "Don't drink so quickly, you will get drunk." ”

Brother Rui whispered: "Big brother, don't worry, it won't." "He can drink seven or eight glasses of this wine, and he won't get drunk so easily.
