It's still eight days, and in eight days, the various mansions in the capital have been decorated again, with red lanterns hanging everywhere, wearing brightly colored clothes, and the silver jewelry on the head has finally been replaced with gold and jade dotted emerald pearls, which are bright and luxurious.

When the New Year's greetings, the Marquis of Zhongyi is very complacent, now there are five little ladies in the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyi, three grandchildren, and eight children during the New Year, naturally full of joy, in a look at the dignified wife, and think of the eldest son who died in the war, in the end the heart sank.

At the reunion dinner, the gentlemen opened one table, and these ladies were naturally the other table.

Su doesn't care if there is a decree or not, whether it is a good concubine, a concubine is a concubine, how to write the word concubine? Standing woman, standing woman, why standing? Because you have to serve people, people sit, you stand, people eat, you watch.

Mrs. Zhongyi Hou is not mean, and the rules of the Qin Dynasty are not so cumbersome and rigid at this time, so Mrs. Zhongyi Hou is ingenious, the daughters-in-law have a table, the little ladies have a table, and then the two concubines have the same table as Mrs. Hou.

There is also a table of concubines of several Langjun, there are not many concubines in the Zhongyi Marquis's Mansion, there are only two old marquises, and there is only one person on the son's side.

In Jane's eyes, she looked down on Mrs. Zhongyi Hou for not holding a serious identity, and she actually sat with the concubine, but when she thought that she had no son, it was right to tie up the two concubines like this.

The Su family and the Huang family have been following Mrs. Hou for a long time, that is, when the prince was still young, they also lived like this, and the two of them outside did not know how much face they had, at this point, both the Su family and the Huang family were very grateful to Mrs. Hou.

Early the next morning, the Marquis of Zhongyi and his wife entered the imperial city to greet the empress and her husband and receive a banquet.

When Mrs. Hou came back, Amber next to her immediately brought a bowl of bird's nest porridge and various small snacks, and Mrs. Hou waved her hand.

"Grandmother, why don't you eat it?" Shao Yunhua remembers very well that every time he came back from the palace to receive a banquet, his grandmother had to eat something, and Shao Yunhua asked when he was four years old, why did he have to eat when he came back from eating in the imperial city? Grandmother told her with a smile at the time that the food in the imperial city was just good-looking, it was all cold, where could I eat it, so Shao Yunhua remembered very well that the food in the imperial city could not be eaten.

"His Majesty is still frugal, and although there are not many dishes, they are warm." Mrs. Hou said this, her smile deepened, the first emperor liked pomp, so many dishes were made in the imperial dining room? How can there be so many people? It can only be made in advance, it is cold in winter, and it is cold when you eat it. Of course, the emperor's dish is hot, and the prince's and princess's dish is hot.

But the empress is still thrifty, she eats with the royal husband on weekdays, but there are only eight dishes, this time when she enters the palace to receive the banquet, the types of dishes are greatly reduced, and each person has four dishes and one soup, what does it matter what your identity? When there are fewer dishes, there is less pressure in the imperial dining room, and the dishes are naturally warm.

Today's first day of the Lunar New Year, in the evening, there is still a meal, just the tradition left by the deceased Zhongyi Hou, there were no relatives in the war at that time, and then he developed, some distant relatives defected to him, he also gave a certain shelter, and supported a family, and on the night of the first day of the New Year, a large family of people had a meal together, and this habit was also retained.

When Mrs. Hou entered the palace to receive the banquet, the Su family and the Huang family had already decided most of the things, and then presented them to Mrs. Hou for a look.

Mrs. Hou is not troublesome, the Huang family and the Su family are also very well-behaved, and now they also have their own daughters-in-law to help them, and they are more and more thoughtful, and there is no trace of mistakes, so it is decided.

In front of him is already a table of gentlemen, and the women in the back are dressed and sideburns, wearing their proud clothes and jewelry.

Ten little ladies at a table, the biggest is the granddaughter of the grandfather's family who is about to come out of the five suits and six grandfathers, she is already fourteen years old, she has not yet decided to marry, her appearance is just delicate, although the clothes on her body are Luoyang brocade, but it can be seen that they are old things, and there are only two gilt jewelry on her head, and the bracelet on her hand is still gilded.

The rest are good and bad, but the best one has to be the little lady of the Hou Mansion.

Sanniang is the daughter of the Jiang family, she looks very cute with pink makeup, and she has the eyes of the eldest princess of Depei, the eldest princess has been married so far, and has given birth to a son and no daughter, so she likes the girl very much, and she naturally appreciates a lot of things, so Sanniang has some exquisite and exquisite things.

Erniang is the same age as Shao Yunhua, Jane's is out, there is no Jane's strict sù stereotype at all, but she is quite cautious, and the eldest sister is pressed not to mention the identity, that is, Sanniang's sister has a good aunt, and there are many more good things than her, and the child can't help but be a little cautious.

Shao Yunhua is wearing a red sprinkled gold butterfly wearing a flower jacket, and the lower body is wearing a red sprinkled gold butterfly wearing a flower skirt, the whole red envelope is a big red envelope, with a double bun on the head, these are nothing, Erniang and Sanniang are also dressed in the same way, only the collar on the neck is different, Erniang and Sanniang are wearing gold collars around their necks, but the collar on Shao Yunhua's neck has a thumb-sized pearl, which is crystal round and very eye-catching.

Sanniang is pursed her lips, she was born in the eighteenth year of Changtai, and she is six years old after the New Year, and the five-year-old girl doll is a big mistake if you think the rules, and at this time it is definitely the age when people hate dogs, looking at the bead, her eyes are staring at it, but she knows that it is her eldest sister, and she doesn't dare to have other ideas, but her mood is not very good. The princess's aunt and uncle didn't give themselves such big beads.

The little lady here is just looking at a bead, and the rest of the people are looking at the delicate clothes of the three sisters, and as for the girls, they are not just looking at the beads.

Let's talk about Jiang first, the upper body is a goose-yellow jacket, embroidered with pink and white plum blossoms, the lower body is wearing a peach-colored gold-sprinkled long skirt, the skirt foot is full of plum blossoms with entwined branches or flower bones, and the skirt is half-open and half-closed with the plum blossoms blooming on the clothes, it is really full of exquisiteness, and the corners of the skirt are made of mutton fat white jade, which is white and flawless, and this piece of jade alone does not know the value of geometry. Don't look at giving birth to a child, but the whole person is so tender that you can pinch out the water.

The head is combed with a reverse bun, not to mention anything else, the magpie Dengmei alone is particularly eye-catching, the magpie is tired with gold silk, and the eyes are obsidian. There was a slip of ruby in his mouth, which was called a sparkle. Such a delicate thing is obviously from the imperial city, and the fact is that this step is exactly what Princess Depei gave it.

Min is as rigid as ever, although he is wearing a bright red shirt, but the clothing is embroidered with the pattern of a rich peony, although graceful and luxurious, but it looks old-fashioned, and when it comes to Jane's, it is another dress, a gradient lotus lotus color dress with all kinds of orchids embroidered on it, a set of gold inlaid with ruby jewelry on the head, and a white jade bracelet on the hand, delicate and dignified, the two sisters-in-law are ruthlessly crushed.

The Min family doesn't care, she is not a person who is fine in color, the Jiang family secretly pouted, quite disdainful, if she was determined to have a comparison mind before, but now it is different, since the eldest princess of Depei descended to the Yongkang Bo Mansion, the people up and down the Yongkang Bo Mansion are really rising. Especially last year, the beggar bones of the Duke of Shouguo, the position of prime minister was taken over by Yongkangbo, and Yongkangbo's mansion was on the upper floor.

The Huang family got this daughter-in-law, which was a joy, and now because the daughter-in-law's value has risen, the servants below have two more respects to themselves, but she still has to serve Mrs. Hou first.

Some people can't help but compliment the Jiang family and the Huang family, the Jiang family's maiden family is the royal family.

"The magpie on my sister-in-law's head is really like a living, I have never seen anything exquisite." The curved willow eyebrows, the eyes are not big, but they are also smiling, not a good color, but they are very pleasing, and what they say is even more pleasing to the Jiang family.

"No, it's so exquisite, it's only available to the eldest princess." It was the young woman's Ah family who spoke, and she was also flattering by Huang's side at this time, the bird's hairpin on Huang's head was a little green, very bright, and it could hold down this age, what could Huang have? However, the concubine was born, and this hairpin must be honored by the daughter-in-law.

echoed the voice, Su Shi was a little angry, she was a good concubine, but there was no way, who let the family have the line of the eldest princess.

Jane's was quite stable and able to hold on, but instead said: "Exactly, the eldest princess's reward is naturally different. "Of course she doesn't bother, huh! The eldest princess, the name is good, the eldest princess is more noble than the princess in her name, in fact, it is not as easy to use as the princess, the father always loves his daughter, but I haven't heard how much the emperor loves his sisters, not to mention that it is the empress who is now on the throne, and she is the concubine, and she thinks about the sisters who are concubines, and it is almost the same if she wants to come to the empress.

It's just that Mrs. Hou is here, and gossip is just a look, a smile, a compliment, and she doesn't dare to do anything, it's definitely looking for death.

Shao Yunhua is over eight years old this year, so he was also allowed to dip in wine, and he really dipped it, and he didn't let him drink it in a small sip, but just dipped his lips.
