"The young lady asked me to tell the master, come back as soon as possible after the errand, it's going to be a holiday, the old people love to see a reunion and celebration, even if they are slave girls, they also want to be reunited and celebrated."
Li Xiaonuan nodded with a smile, and Kunhe saw that he had no other instructions, so he respectfully withdrew. Li Xiaonuan got up and left the meeting hall, went back to Qinglian Courtyard to change into a dress, went out and took a small sedan chair to the main courtyard to discuss the details of the family banquet with the princess in the evening.
Li Xiaonuan took the menu of the winter solstice family banquet, read it again with the princess, and explained who sat with whom, and how to place it, the princess nodded with satisfaction, Li Xiaonuan saw that everything was in order, so she said goodbye, took a sedan chair to inspect everywhere, looked at the time was almost up, and returned to Qinglian Courtyard and changed into a light gray silk jacket and a big red pomegranate skirt, it was already Shen Zhengshi. Li Xiaonuan hurriedly walked out of the courtyard, took a sedan chair to the main courtyard, waited for the princess to get on the sedan chair, and the four big girls Xu and Chuncao, Xia He, Qiu Gui, and Dongmei followed, all the way to the flower hall in the second gate.
In the flower hall, the early arrival of the clan women are full of flowers, already standing in groups of three or five talking, Mama Qiu and Mama Zou are standing one mile and one away, greeting all the female guests in the clan, saluting, smiling and feasting, saying kind words, and letting everyone enter the flower hall.
Mama Tian took a few mothers-in-law, standing in all corners of the courtyard of the flower hall, paying attention to the lights and candles everywhere and the little girls who came and went, Lan Chu and Mama Sun stood quietly in the corners inside and outside the door of the flower hall, and watched attentively whether the tea was delivered in time by the little girls everywhere, and the snacks and fruits were full and so on.
Seeing Li Xiaonuan and the princess's sedan chair coming, Mama Qiu and Mama Zou lost everyone, and hurriedly greeted her, Mama Qiu accompanied her with a smile on her face, hurriedly opened the curtain in front of the princess's sedan chair, stretched out her hand to help the princess get off the sedan chair, Xu Shi hurriedly stepped forward and helped the princess on the other side, Chuncao and others let Li Xiaonuan and others follow Li Xiaonuan, and the group walked to the flower hall.
Mama Tian, Mama Sun and Lan Chu and others bent their knees from afar, and the female relatives of the clan inside and outside the flower hall also let out a passage, and the ups and downs of the bent knees saluted.
The princess smiled dignified all the way and bowed her head, raised her hand, signaling that everyone did not need to be polite, and when she arrived at the door of the flower hall, Mama Qiu retreated, Li Xiaonuan stepped forward half a step forward to support the princess, Xu glanced at Li Xiaonuan, hurriedly let go of the princess, stepped back, and Chuncao and others retreated to one place, and respectfully lowered her hand and followed the princess and Li Xiaonuan into the flower hall.
When the ladies in the flower hall saw the princess and Li Xiaonuan coming in, they all stood up and smiled, greeted, and saluted, looked at Li Xiaonuan curiously and surprised, said auspicious flattery, stepped forward to introduce their daughters-in-law, children, and spared no effort to praise Li Xiaonuan's beauty, flattering the princess's blessings.
There were already two elderly elders sitting at the head of the flower hall, and the princess laughed all the way, greeted her, walked up step by step, and walked straight for half an hour before she walked in front of the two elders and bowed her knees.
"The two ancestors, this year's spirit is getting stronger and stronger"
The two old ladies, one refreshed, deaf and clear-sighted, greeted the princess with a busy smile,
"Thanks to you, it's quite strong, this is Ke's daughter-in-law, right? It's really heart-wrenching."
Li Xiaonuan hurriedly let go of the princess, bent her knees with a smile and saluted, and the other old lady's ears were probably not very clear, and she said loudly,
"It's open? How can there be lotus seed tea that hasn't been drunk yet?"
The ladies around laughed, and the old lady's daughter-in-law laughed and explained to the princess:
"The princess is not strange, our ancestors' ears have not been used at all in the past two years, and people are becoming more and more confused, and they can't remember the things in front of them, and they all remember the little things of Chen Guzi's rotten Zhizhi a few decades ago, and they all remember it, and they are clamoring every day to go to play outside the house, to celebrate the New Year, to listen to the play, to drink lotus seed tea, I didn't plan to let her come today, but she didn't know how to think of it, she started arguing a few days ago, and she must go to eat Xiao Ran's lotus seed tea."
The princess smiled deeply at her, stepped forward to support the old lady, and said loudly with a smile on her face:
"I'll let someone send you lotus seed tea to wait for the New Year, and then I'll send someone to pick you up and pick you up to listen to the play and watch the fireworks."
The old lady smiled and nodded, and promised again and again:
"I don't go anywhere else, it's lively here, I can see it here, don't worry"
The princess looked at the old lady with tears and laughter, Li Xiaonuan followed behind, laughing uncontrollably, and hurriedly turned around to signal Lan Chu not far away, Lan Chu hurriedly turned around and greeted the little girl, and brought two bowls of lotus seed tea to the top.
The princess took the lotus seed tea, first handed a bowl to the old lady who was deaf and clear-sighted, sitting next to her and laughing back and forth, and held another bowl and handed it to the old lady who was confused, the old lady took the lotus seed tea, squinted her eyes and looked at it carefully for a long time, tasted it carefully, flattened her toothless mouth, and laughed happily,
"That's it, this is called lotus seed tea, my heart is the most refreshing and understandable."
The old lady and daughter-in-law smiled helplessly, stretched out her hand, carefully helped her hold the small bowl of Ruyao, and waited for her to eat lotus seed tea.
The princess stood beside her, watched the two old ladies finish eating the lotus seed tea, turned her head to look at the confused old lady and asked with concern:
"Is the old lady okay? Have you come to see the doctor? ”
"Every half a month, I invited Dr. Chen from Jishitang in the east of the city to come over to diagnose the pulse, it's all good, it's this memory, alas, Dr. Chen can't do it, saying that he is old, this is a common thing to be confused, every day at home, you say east, she will answer west, just wait for a moment."
The princess looked at the old lady who was still happily pouting and tasting the aftertaste of lotus seed tea, turned her head to look at the old lady and daughter-in-law and comforted:
"The old lady is happy, if there are not enough people at home, just come to me, I have a lot of idle girls here."
The old lady and daughter-in-law thanked her with a smile, and while she was talking, Mama Qiu was loudly reporting outside, and an older elder came in.
The princess hurriedly took Li Xiaonuan and walked a few steps, and greeted the door of the flower hall, at the door, three or four old ladies about sixty years old helped their daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law into the flower hall, the princess led Li Xiaonuan to see the ceremony, let a few people enter the flower hall, a few people and the two old ladies who arrived first saw the ceremony, the elders and young sat down, and the little girl sent lotus seed tea up, the princess and Li Xiaonuan took it one by one, the old lady ate the lotus seed tea, gossiping, Gu Zi said her own words, talked to the princess, and took Li Xiaonuan's hand, kept praising him, and the flower hall was very lively for a while, and only a few old ladies could be heard talking louder than one another.
The princess laughed while letting everyone take a seat, Xu and Chuncao and others hurriedly stepped forward to wait for the old ladies to enter the banquet one by one, and during the banquet, several old ladies entered the flower hall with Mama Qiu's report, the princess and Li Xiaonuan hurriedly went out again, and took two or three old ladies with snow-white hair in, and simply let them sit on the table, but the old ladies who had already sat down stood up again by themselves, running around tremblingly, raising their hands, shouting and greeting each other, talking, and saluting, Xu, Chuncao and the others were nervously following, and in a moment, it was a mess again.
The princess simply stepped aside, watched eight or nine white-haired old ladies in their sixties and seventies say hello, and after speaking, they politely let each other sit down, and then stepped forward to give in once, turned her head to look around, frowned slightly, and looked at Li Xiaonuan and ordered:
"Let people see, have the **** milk and a few young grandmothers arrived?"
Li Xiaonuan promised to go out, and Mama Qiu reported loudly at the door, **** Milk Gu took the eldest daughter-in-law Zhao, the second daughter-in-law Qi, followed by several grandmothers, respectively holding the eldest son of the second room, the eldest grandson Cheng Qi, the second son Cheng Jing, and the second daughter-in-law Qi's eldest son Cheng Qi, and entered the flower hall proudly.
Li Xiaonuan blinked her eyes, and looked speechlessly at the **** milk Gu and the daughter-in-law, the nurse and the grandchildren in the nurse's arms who followed closely behind Gu. The princess's face changed slightly, she secretly sulked, and smiled at the **** milk Gu,
"The **** milk came just in time, and it's coming to the table, so **** milk, please."
"I'm a few children late, I love to cry and make trouble, it's really troublesome to clean up, it's a lot slower to go out, it's not as good as the princess and the young lady, you can walk with your feet, but it's really neat"
The sullen breath that the princess had just exhaled came up again, Li Xiaonuan hurriedly took two steps forward, helped the princess, looked at Gu ****'s milk, and said with a smile:
"**** milk, please come to the table, several ancestors have been here for a while, and the lotus seed tea has been drunk twice, and the elders at the table are just waiting for the **** milk to enter the table."
The princess came through a sigh and hurriedly continued:
"But no, this kid is making trouble, he should have prepared earlier, let the elders wait, in the end it is not what the younger generations should do."
Gu **** was stunned, glanced at Li Xiaonuan, snorted softly, and sat at the bottom with her skirt
