Chapter 339: The Turmoil at the Chrysanthemum Banquet

Between the lightning and flint, Xun Ying, who was waiting next to Ma Xiuying, hurriedly stepped forward and collided with Tan's arms, and the two fell to the ground, fortunately, the soil on the ground was relatively soft, and everyone was just frightened, and no one was injured.

The guards quickly protected Ma Xiuying, guarded the surroundings, and glared at Tan with unkind eyes.

"Princess, I, the slut was stunned just now, and somehow she rushed over......" Tan's face flushed, knelt on the ground and explained helplessly, wanting to cry without tears in his heart, this is over, offended Ma Xiuying, how to explain to her husband when she goes back.

Ma Xiuying waved away the guards, glanced at the direction that Tan rushed over, and didn't see Guo Xia's small movements, but she noticed the panic and smugness that flashed on Guo Xia's face, and smiled coldly in her heart, letting people help Xun Ying and Tan Shi, and jokingly said: "Madame doesn't need to make this big gift, although I am a princess, but the two of us are of the same age, we can still cross paths with each other." ”

A joke subtly revealed Tan's embarrassment and eased the tense atmosphere at the banquet. Whether it was true or not, everyone laughed at Ma Xiuying's words, "The princess is a daughter, so it is also appropriate for us sluts to worship." ”

Tan borrowed the donkey to go downhill and seized the opportunity to worship: "The slut wishes the princess a long life and eternal health!"

"I wish the princess a long life and eternal health!" All the women seemed to have been trained, and they visited the shrine in unison, which made Ma Xiuying's identity more and more noble, and the atmosphere at the banquet became more and more enthusiastic.

Guo Hui, who lowered his head, gritted his teeth, hating the Tan family who was desperately slapping the horse and Ma Xiuying who had infinite scenery.

"Let's keep everyone waiting, let's have a table. For the sake of the gift list, Ma Xiuyingxu dealt with the snake for a few words, and then ordered the servant to serve the food, and got so many congratulatory gifts from others, it is still appropriate to invite someone to have a meal.

In the flower hall, Zhu Yuanzhang's concubines are almost all here, even if one or two have a big belly and have difficulty moving, they have to show their faces at this time. You must know that even if these concubines are just one of Zhu Yuanzhang's concubines, their status is superior to that of ordinary noblewomen. Usually they deign to Ma Xiuying, this will be a rare opportunity to enjoy the respect of others, of course, they don't want to miss the moment of scenery.

None of the ladies dared to show contempt, and they bowed to the concubines in turn and sat down.

The dishes were placed on a full table, and they looked rich, but the concubines who were full of expectations suddenly felt a lot cold when they saw the dishes: chestnut stewed mutton, mashed potatoes, iron plate yellow eel, sugar porridge lotus root, chicken juice back to marinade, ants on the tree, assorted tofu, beef potstickers, old duck barley potpot...... It's just ordinary dishes, but you can't even see a crab at the chrysanthemum feast, is this a chrysanthemum feast?

Ma Xiuying quietly glared at Xun Ying and said with a dry smile: "It's all home-cooked dishes, please feel free." The soldiers at the front are still fighting hard, so I don't dare to be too extravagant. ”

She told Xunying not to be too extravagant, but these dishes inevitably seemed a little stingy, how did she know that she had misunderstood Xunying's kindness, Xunying only selected the recipes after consulting Mrs. Wu, and chose the dishes that drove away the cold and nourished.

The ladies looked at each other, it was really a home-cooked dish, that's it, that's it, everyone didn't really come to eat, make do with it. Rarely, some people praised the home-cooked dishes of the palace for being so delicious and exquisite, hundreds of times better than the restaurants outside. Some people even say that Ma Xiuying leads by example, is diligent and thrifty, and is a model for everyone to learn......

Guo Hui was indignant, these dishes were not as good as what she usually ate, and Ma Xiuying also took them out to entertain guests, which was really embarrassing. She rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Although it is a good thing for my sister to be strict, we still have to respond to the chrysanthemum banquet, so it is better for my little sister to pay for it and ask someone to send a basket of crabs from the restaurant outside." ”

The hall was suddenly silent, Guo Hui openly and Ma Xiuying sang against each other, is this the rhythm of discord between the wives and concubines of the palace?

Ma Xiuying put down her chopsticks as if no one was around, and ordered with a smile, "Ask someone to go to the restaurant to buy a few baskets of the most expensive and best crabs, and the guy will go to Concubine Hui to settle the bill later." ”

Guo Hui couldn't imagine that Ma Xiuying's provocation to her would be resolved in four or two thousand pounds. Wait, she only said that she wanted a basket of crabs, when did it become a basket? How much does it cost? But the servant had already been ordered to go out, and it was too late for her to shout, and besides, she was too embarrassed to correct the words of only a basket of crabs in front of everyone.

Xun Ying couldn't help but defend Ma Xiuying: "Ladies don't know, my princess was injured, and the doctor said to avoid cold food, so the maid didn't prepare crabs, fish and shrimp ......."

Mrs. Wu also stood up and said, "The Shadow Girl made a special trip to find the little woman to ask about the dishes that ward off the cold and nourish the cold, although these dishes are ordinary, all of them are foods that have special effects on nourishing the skin and nourishing the stomach. Autumn from hot to cold, yang and yin long, health is particularly important, eat more of these foods to nourish yin and moisturize the lungs...... On the contrary, crabs, fish and shrimp can not be eaten more, because these foods belong to cold food, eating too much will cause diarrhea and discomfort, some women eat crabs and even have urticaria and other symptoms......" She looked at Guo Hui, she didn't want to say it, but the doctor's parents still let her say it, "Although the taste of crabs is delicious, it is cold and cold, and has the function of invigorating blood and removing stasis, so it is not good for pregnant women, especially crab claws, which have obvious abortion effects, and it is recommended that pregnant women here do not eat crabs." ”

The ladies suddenly realized, "Ah, it turns out that my sister-in-law has acne on her face because she has eaten too many crabs, and I have to tell her that she can't eat anymore when I go back." ”

"No wonder my child said that he had diarrhea in the past two days, and it turned out that the crabs were to blame. ”

"Shadow girl, can you give me a copy of the menu for today's banquet, and I will also ask the servants to make these dishes when I go back, which are not expensive and good for the body......"

Everyone asked Xun Ying for the menu, and said that they would eat these home-cooked dishes as treasures when they went back, but I don't know if it's true. In short, there was a lot of joy at the table, some people praised Xunying for being loyal to Ma Xiuying, some praised Ma Xiuying for teaching her servants well, and some people were busy asking Mrs. Wu for advice on health regimens, but they put aside Guo Hui, who wanted to provoke Ma Xiuying in front of everyone.

When the crab was served on the table and no one moved the chopsticks, Ma Xiuying wanted to pick one, but unfortunately Xunying didn't give her a chance at all and put the crab far away.

The pregnant women in the house even used the crab as poison and shouted loudly to take it away.

Until the end of the table, the crabs were still alone on their plates. Ma Xiuying glanced at it reluctantly and said, "Since these crabs were bought by Concubine Hui, let's bring them all to Concubine Hui's room." ”

Guo Hui was so angry that she trembled, could she finish eating so many crabs? Besides, Mrs. Wu said that eating crabs for pregnant women is harmful to the body, and Ma Xiuying is deliberately harming her!
