Chapter 325: The Banquet

Before I knew it, it was already three poles in the sun, and it was noon.

There was no cold wind, but the sunny green space became more and more suitable, and even the atmosphere of that spring day suddenly became stronger.

The place where the dragon boats where the nobles were staying was not in the same place as the place where the girls went to the island, but on the trestle bridge on the west side of the small plum forest, not far from the green space where the girls were.

The topography of the green space is slightly lower, almost the lowest point in the entire island in the middle of the lake.

In this way, the sons are condescending, but they can more clearly see every move of the girls not far away.

Is it probably because of the bitter cold of the long winter, and the girls at this time have the illusion that spring has arrived early? Or is it because the handsome men in the distance are looking at this side, and they have the intention to show themselves?

The girls' appearance at this time was either surprisingly dignified and generous, or delicate and lovely.

They have a coquettish smile like a silver bell, and an elegant and pleasant voice that sings poetry;

They have both the delicate holding flowers and inserting them into their sideburns, and the grace of wandering the flowers with ancient steps;

And then there was a gust of pleasant sweet fragrance wafting by with the slightest breeze, which made the sons unable to distinguish whether this was a floral fragrance or a beauty fragrance, and they were all emotional, staring at the group of girls with full energy.

These girls have their own merits, delicate as flowers, even if they can't tell who is who, but it does not prevent them from appreciating this group of flowers, and the beauty is delicious once.

The luncheon soon began......

Naturally, the banquet for men and women was separated.

The banquet of the female guests was still set in that green space, and was presided over by the eldest princess herself.

The banquet for the male guests was presided over by the chief steward of Changningbo's Mansion and the father-in-law Chang who came out of the palace.

At this time, several round tables had already been placed on the green space.

The table with the best view in the middle was naturally occupied by Jiahe and a few people, and Shen Moyun and the others still went to the most remote table to sit.

Mouth-watering dishes were quickly served......

It turns out that the raw materials of today's dishes are all produced on this island in the middle of the lake.

From lotus root with flowers to cold cuts like silver bracken, from steamed golden drum fish to hot dishes like roasted venison, snacks such as rattan and rose cakes, soups such as seven green soup and lettuce soup, and even fruit wine for the ladies and rice wine and spirits for the men, all come from this island.

Shen Moyun was slightly amazed, this island is really a sparrow, although it is small, it has all kinds of organs. In addition to the unique geographical conditions, there is even a forest with wild deer? There is also the golden drum fish, the book says that it is the most fat and fragrant in the hot springs, and there are indeed hot springs on this island!

At this time, in order to increase the fun, Merlin and Greenland also set up a grill respectively, washed vegetarian meat food varieties are placed aside, several cooks are hot and sweaty in the roasting of a small wild boar, and the grill is emitting the sound of "Zizi", accompanied by bursts of fresh fragrance, which makes people salivate.

Even the girls, who had always been reserved and elegant in front of the male guests, couldn't help but move their chopsticks at this time and began to taste the beautiful flavors of this island.

In terms of taste, this table of dishes is really extraordinary! The fresh aroma of wild local vegetables, coupled with the unique water quality and climate and the cooking of the natural color, naturally makes people appetizing and full of praise.

The girls have always paid attention to "food without words" when eating, plus they have been hungry for a long time, and the food is really gluttonous.

The male guests sitting in Merlin naturally felt a little boring, this banquet was too quiet and boring, there was no sound of bamboo, and there was no girl to accompany the wine. Due to the presence of the eldest princess, they couldn't rashly draw a fist and make a drinking order, so they had to sit down and touch the wine cup.

The eldest princess naturally didn't plan to let everyone enjoy the banquet so coldly.

At this time, sitting in the north and facing south, she slapped her hands, and saw a slippery maid rushing up, and set up a stable platform with a wooden frame that had been prepared long ago at the closest point to the merlin in the green space. There was also a group of maids who brought all kinds of musical instruments, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, knitting and embroidery threads and other things that women must learn on weekdays.

This is not over, at this time, there are even a few musicians holding pipas to sit quietly on the side.

As soon as this posture came out, where did the girls still have the heart to eat, they all wiped the corners of their mouths and waited for the eldest princess to speak.

"Since you have come to my Changning Bo Mansion as guests, it is naturally not possible to eat so dullly!

Hongu thought of an interesting idea, so he said that he would listen to it for all the sons and girls!

As we all know, today's banquet is a 'golden banquet', and the purpose is naturally to select the best daughters of our Great Zhou Dynasty. In the first three rounds, we have already tested etiquette, tea ceremony, and literary talent, and in the fourth round, Bengong thought about how it should be the girls' turn.

Your daughters must have been practicing hard work at home for many years, and they are all familiar with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and knitting.

But it would be a pity if the girls didn't show their skills to open everyone's eyes!

So today, this palace plans to give all girls a chance to show themselves!

The girls are free to do what they are good at: singing, playing music, painting, or inscribe poems, even if they embroider a piece of work on the spot.

Bengong thought, this is the fourth round of our daughter's banquet.

If this is arranged, firstly, the girls will not be dull in the competition, and secondly, it can just help our sons from afar!

This...... These lines have been moved, and who else can say that they are not half of them?

Those sons have been bored for a long time, and at this time there are lively, beauties, and performances to watch, so naturally they are all full of interest and cheer one after another.

As for the girls, most of the girls are naturally willing! After all, it is not easy to come to Changningbo Mansion, even if you can't compete for the top five, you have to seize the opportunity to leave a good impression in front of the eldest princess and the noble sons!

Shen Moyun glanced at Lin Yaru at the next table, and they both saw a trace of surprise in the other party's eyes.

The eldest princess is also a woman, so she shouldn't have come up with this idea!

All the girls present are the nobles of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and if the male guests are not present, the ladies will compete with each other. But at the moment, this is a competition, if it is ugly, it is to sing and dance for all the sons, and drink to cheer up!

Hehe! When did the nobles of the Great Zhou Dynasty have been reduced to the point of practicing themselves like the prostitutes in the Qinglou Teahouse?

The eldest princess is not such a person who does not know how to measure!

No matter how you look at it, this thing is weird!
