"Master, you should hold a banquet to inform everyone that your body is well." Xunying spared no effort to come up with ideas, and she was happier than anyone else when she saw Ma Xiuying's radiant mental state.

Ma Xiuying said something about her careful thoughts, "I think you want to be lively." ”

"Hey, hey. There are so many women who come to visit, so you should thank you too. Sun's eyes rolled. A few days ago, Ma Xiuying didn't go out, and Guo Ninglian and Guo Hui were all responsible for receiving guests, and the ladies outside were about to treat Ma Xiuying as an invisible princess, and held a banquet so that everyone could see clearly who was the real hostess of the palace.

With the rise of Zhu Yuanzhang's status, the wealthy gentry of Ying Tianfu tried every means to tie up Zhu Yuanzhang and his family, and even rushed to stuff their daughters into the palace. Now it's not as simple as marrying an ordinary prince, and people with vision know that although Zhu Yuanzhang only set up a palace in Yingtianfu, it is actually like founding a country.

Not to mention far away, at least Zhu Yuanzhang has the final say in every cent of this Tianfu. In the future, sooner or later, the world will have to return to the hands of the Han people, what if Zhu Yuanzhang has the fortune and fortune to become a great treasure? In short, take advantage of the early relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang now, and the future scenery is just around the corner. So there are countless ways to climb relatives, some have invited matchmakers to match, some have invited respected elders to come forward, some have sent their wives to have a relationship with Ma Xiuying, and some even directly ask to see Zhu Yuanzhang......

Especially when the wives of wealthy gentry visit Ma Xiuying, they are always dressed like peacocks, the pungent fragrance makes people unable to breathe normally, and the chatter makes people drowsy.

Ma Xiuying was very disgusted with this kind of boring entertainment between women after a few contacts, but she couldn't refuse these women's requests too bluntly, after all, the men behind these women were inextricably linked to Zhu Yuanzhang and even Ying Tianfu. She simply handed over all these affairs to Guo Hui and Guo Ninglian under the pretext of recuperating from her injuries, and hid in the small courtyard to practice calligraphy and read books, enjoying herself.

Even if she is disgusted, some romantic exchanges are still unavoidable, Ma Xiuying understands that Xunying is implying in disguise that she can't be too high-minded as the mistress of the palace, and social interaction is indispensable. She would not refuse Xun Ying's kindness, leaned on the chaise longue and said with a smile: "If you want to be lively, you can ask the housekeeper to pick a good day to invite those ladies to come and see the chrysanthemums, this season is a good day to eat crabs, ask the cook to prepare some creamy and fatty Huajin crabs......"

Yingtianfu is rich in Huajin crabs, and the Shengfang crabs of Baiyangdian and Yangcheng Lake are the three famous crabs, and the Huajin crab is the oldest of them, since the Tang Dynasty, it has been very famous.

Li Bai once visited Xuancheng seven times, and his "Drinking Alone Under the Moon" "crab claws are gold liquid, and the bad hill is Penglai." And you must drink good wine and get drunk on the high platform by the moon. "It's how to eat Hanazu crab with wine.

Mei Yaochen, a great poet of Xuancheng in the Northern Song Dynasty, also sang a poem about Huajin crab: "The taste of crab has been taken in front of the bottle, and the soup is in vain on the day." ”

Oops, the fatty crab paste is stained with dipping sauce, that tender and delicate taste, just thinking about it, Ma Xiuying's saliva is flowing down unconsciously.

"No! You can't eat crabs. Xun Ying looked nervous, and her eyes subconsciously glanced at her abdomen.

Ma Xiuying's smile is light, and the woman who has injured her uterus should avoid eating cold food, but even if she doesn't eat cold food, the injury on her abdomen will never recover.

"Master." Xun Ying's tone was full of self-blame, and the good atmosphere was ruined by himself.

In the end, it is the master and servant who have been on the battlefield together, Ma Xiuying always has a tolerance for Xunying, not to mention that her injury has nothing to do with Xunying, and it is already very good for Xunying to think about leading away the enemy at the moment of life and death. Therefore, she did not blame this maid who aroused her unhappiness, but smiled calmly, "If you can't eat crabs, you can always eat something else, and if you don't let me eat anything else, this banquet won't have to be held." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, anything but crabs, the slave will go and inform the housekeeper." Xunying chick pecked rice and nodded violently, for fear that Ma Xiuying would regret it and run out with a smoke.

On the day of the chrysanthemum banquet, there was an endless stream of visitors, and this was the first time Ma Xiuying had hosted a banquet for the wife of an official squire after becoming a princess. The women who can come basically won't shirk it, and even some women who don't have enough status and no posts drag people to be cheeky and find someone to bring them into the house.

Steward Li looked at the long list of gifts and smacked his tongue, the princess only allocated five hundred taels of silver to prepare for the banquet, but the gifts and gifts received were at least worth hundreds of thousands of taels. I think Concubine Hui has also held banquets in the past, and she has received countless gifts, but compared with the princess, it is not enough.

"Exchange all these things for food and military supplies and send them to the prince's army." Ma Xiuying nodded the gift list with satisfaction, she really didn't want to go to the reception, where did those sloppy and calculating women have these real money and kindness. Her eyes narrowed, and she thought that if she held back her impatience and held a few more banquets, maybe even the problem of military pay could be solved.

The ladies who were admiring the flowers in the garden suddenly felt a chill, and one of the slightly chubby women smiled flatteringly at Guo Hui: "Hui Niangniang, why hasn't the princess Niangniang arrived yet?" ”

This fat woman is the wife of the big squire and the rich man, Tan, in addition to sending Ma Xiuying a pair of jewels this time, she also hopes to catch Ma Xiuying's line, so that the Gao family can become Zhu Yuanzhang's supplier of military rations. She usually gives Guo Hui a lot of benefits, and thinks she is close to Guo Hui, so she asks Guo Hui for news without concealment, but she doesn't know that this question offends Guo Hui ruthlessly.

Every sentence is inseparable from Ma Xiuying, why don't you usually see you so eager for this concubine? Guo Hui hid the disgust and jealousy in his eyes, and said lightly: "You also know that my sister's body was injured a while ago......"

The women immediately said, "Don't worry, don't worry, the princess's body is the most important, let's wait a little longer." ”

"The princess has just recovered, so she will hold a banquet to entertain me, and the princess will treat me well."

"The princess's body still has to be replenished, this time my family specially selected the best century-old ginseng as a congratulatory gift......"

"There's an old saying that if you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing? What's more, a noble person like the princess will be even more terrible in the future. Maybe in the future, I will be able to honor the world, hehe......"

Guo Hui was dumbfounded, originally wanted to take advantage of everyone's curiosity about Ma Xiuying's injury and pretend to say something inadvertently to bring out Ma Xiuying's private departure, but seeing that everyone looked flattered and desperately pleased, even Ma Xiuying's delay in attending the banquet could be taken for granted, and she naturally couldn't say what she wanted to discredit Ma Xiuying, and the jealousy and resentment in her heart deepened.

At this time, Ma Xiuying made a military supply plan, and finally appeared.

Before she sat down, the voice of hushing and asking for warmth flew all over the sky, and every woman had 120,000 points of cordiality on her face, and her caring expression was extremely sincere, especially some women who could say a few words to Ma Xiuying seemed to be honored.

Tan left Guo Hui and eagerly squeezed to Ma Xiuying's side.

Guo Xia, who had long been angry with her master, quietly tripped on her tiptoes.

Tan only looked at Ma Xiuying, didn't pay attention to his feet, couldn't help it, and rushed over.
