Chapter 230, Holding a Banquet (2)
The days in the capital are fast, or because Jiang Xiaolou has something to do, she has to go out to attend a banquet every once in a while, so this world passes quickly, half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and the time for her banquet is coming soon. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Finally, a few days before the banquet, she was finally free, and she didn't need to go to the banquet or anything, and in the past few days, she took the subordinates of the county lord's mansion to rearrange the entire county lord's mansion, why is it so fanfare!
Concubine Chen in the palace didn't know where she heard that Jiang Xiaolou was going to hold a banquet, so she begged the emperor and wanted to go back to the county lord's mansion on the day of the banquet, and when the emperor heard it, he was also on a whim and wanted to come to this banquet, so Jiang Xiaolou had to work hard to hold the banquet well, so as not to have a bad reputation in front of the emperor.
Originally, I wanted to hold a small banquet, but because of the emperor's appearance, her banquet had to be prepared, the ingredients prepared in advance by the county lord's mansion are definitely not enough, naturally more ingredients are needed, this son is not enough, there must be more preparations, as for this place, it is easy to say, if it really doesn't work, men and women are separated, and the two courtyards are used to hold banquets!
The entire county lord's mansion has a new look, and all the decorations have been replaced with new ones, Jiang Xiaolou has to personally take people to check what to eat, after all, the guests who are coming here are the emperor and the palace lady, if something happens at the banquet, it will be impossible to eat and walk around.
So in order to prevent any accidents, it's better to pay more attention, otherwise what happened, and it would be unclear when the time came to jump into the Yellow River, and it would really be regretted at that time, and their family would have an unstable foundation in the capital, and if it was related to the emperor's safety, it would not be good.
Jiang Xiaolou personally went to check it, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong, he was relieved, of course, he didn't forget to tell the subordinates of the county lord's mansion to take good care of the ingredients to be used for tomorrow's banquet, and of course, her right-hand man Zhao Ma also became the steward in charge of eating at the banquet.
On the second day, that is, the day of the banquet, Jiang Xiaolou got up early in the morning, there was no way, she was the host of this banquet, so she naturally had to get up early to make a lot of preparations, otherwise it would be embarrassing to wait until the guests came and didn't prepare anything.
As a person who has never held a banquet in ancient times, Jiang Xiaolou said that it is difficult to understand some aspects, in her previous life, as a person in the new century, she only had to give orders to go down, she only needed to toast the guests with a wine glass, but in this ancient time, she had to personally greet the guests, especially those whose doors were higher than her county lord's mansion, such as what prince, princess, and prince or something.
Around the end of the hour, at the beginning of the hour, a lot of guests arrived, Jiang Xiaolou was glad that the place he had prepared before was large enough, and the things needed for the banquet were also well prepared, otherwise it would be embarrassing to wait.
At the beginning, the seats she prepared were already full of people at this time, and they gathered in the courtyard in twos and threes to talk and laugh, many of them were dignitaries and dignitaries, and they came here with admiration, Jiang Xiaolou knew that many of these people came for the emperor, not for her banquet.
These people just want to use her banquet to brush up their presence in front of the emperor, maybe they can get the emperor's favor, they can be promoted to a higher rank, or they can be much easier in their careers・・・・・・・
At this time, Jiang Xiaolou regretted a little, she knew that she shouldn't have held this banquet, she should have gone to other high-ranking families to find some experience, and then she couldn't handle the matter of holding a banquet at the moment, and her mother, brothers and sisters, they couldn't cope with it.
"Sister Xiaolou, my brother and I are here to greet you with guests!" Just when Jiang Xiaolou and the others were tired of coping, they finally came to the rescue at this time.
Chu Yanran, the county lord of Xiwangfu, and Chu Qingfeng, the prince of the world, appeared, and now Chu Qingfeng's body has been cleared of toxins, and his body is much stronger, and he returned to the capital a year ago, Jiang Xiaolou wants to hold a banquet and naturally personally send posts to the two, of course, Chu Yanran's sister and brother have also come to her county lord's mansion a few times before.
Chu Yanran's sister and brother didn't come early, nor too late, and at this time, both of them had a bit of an unhappy look on their faces, and there were two seven or eight-year-old girls who came with them, and they looked at Jiang Xiaolou and them curiously at this time.
Looking at the clothes of these two little girls, they don't look like maids, they must be the two concubines of Chu Jingxi, the king of Xi!
"Sister Yanran, younger brother Qingfeng, they are ・・・・・・" Although Jiang Xiaolou knew that these two concubines who were the same age as herself were the two concubines of the Xiwang Mansion, she didn't know which one was older and which one was smaller, and she didn't know the name, so she still asked at this time.
Because Chu Yanran and Chu Qingfeng, the sisters and brothers, had stayed in the Jiang family in Beishan Village for three years, and they were called like this on weekdays, so Jiang Xiaolou at this time still called the two brothers and sisters, and did not call them the prince of the county.
When Jiang Xiaolou was talking, of course, he didn't forget to pay attention to the faces of these two concubines of King Xi's mansion, one of them was okay, there was nothing, and one of them heard Jiang Xiaolou call Chu Yanran's sister and brother two sisters and brothers, his face was full of disdain, and his eyes were full of contempt.
"Oh, they, it's the two concubines of the palace, it's okay, Sister Xiaolou, let's leave them alone・・・・・・" Speaking of these two concubines, Chu Qingfeng's face was full of impatience, God knows how annoying she is with these two concubines.
Let's take today's events as an example, they were originally going to come out early in the morning and come to the Jiang family to help greet the guests, but their two cousins tossed for a while, and then they went out with a chirp, so that they only came at this time, Chu Qingfeng hated these two concubines very much, especially one of them, and they were not less crowded on weekdays・・・・・・
That's why Chu Qingfeng and Chu Yanran's sister and brother had impatient expressions, but these two people didn't see it, they followed wherever they went, dangling in front of them all the time, which was even more unhappy.
"Big sister, is this the lord of Hanshan?" One of the little girls in a pink dress, pointing at Jiang Xiaolou with her nostrils facing the sky at this time, asked very impolitely, with a high-minded expression, Jiang Xiaolou was very unhappy and uncomfortable in her heart.
The other little girl, who looked a little timid, did not speak, but silently lowered her head and shed tears, looking so pitiful・・・・・・
