Before, Yi Heng and Qiu Chen roughly talked about a few families with low official rank, good family style, and good character girls, at this time, so many guests gathered at the door, Yi Heng did not forget to remind Qiu Chen, or whispered in his ear, or made a look, to remind Qiu Chen to pay attention.

At the beginning of the entrance, the guests swarmed up, Qiu Chen and Yiheng stood in the second gate with the mother-in-law and the girl, and there was no time to lead in, so they only had time to greet the guests who got off the car for a word or two, and they had to hand it over to the girl's mother-in-law to bring it in, and then they hurried to pick up the next group of guests.

Qiu Chen smiled and nodded again and again, and turned around with Yiheng to greet people again.

Chang Jiayi grabbed Yixuan's arm, covered her mouth and smiled: "We have all heard and remembered this, when the time comes, we won't do it if the banquet is not big enough!" ”

Mingwei and Aman, like a pair of sisters, greeted them from the yard. They had all seen these three people, and after meeting Chang Jiayi, they naturally greeted Wang Jingshu and Song Xi'er inside. Qiu Chen was familiar with Chang Jiayi and was informal, handed her over to Yi Xuan, and directly ordered with a smile: "The affairs of the house will be handed over to you and the second sister, and when I am done today, I will arrange a good banquet to thank you!" ”

It didn't take long for Chang Jiayi to arrive first with Wang Jingshu and Song Xi'er. Qiu Chen and Yiheng picked up three people, and before the guests arrived, they led the two back to Mu'en Courtyard first.

Qiu Chen and Yi Xuan hurriedly got up to welcome them out, picked up Yi Heng and Mrs. Shao's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who got off the car in the second gate, greeted each other, and greeted each other politely, Qiu Chen handed over Mrs. Shao to Yi Xuan to bring in, and she left Yi Heng to greet the guests in the second gate with her.

A few people were talking, and the news came in front of them, and Yiheng had arrived with Mrs. Shao.

With Qiu Chen's knowledge and interest, the Li family naturally treated Qiu Chen a little differently, at this time, Qiu Chen entrusted her to entertain guests, and even respected her as a mother-in-law, and the Li family agreed without reluctance.

After writing the post, Qiu Chen copied a copy of the invitation list and gave it to the Li family. Although he didn't say anything explicitly, he also vaguely reminded Li that if there are interested girls to prepare in advance, they should pay more attention to it when the time comes...... Li thought that Song Xi'er, the granddaughter of Master Song, was coming, but Qiu Chen seemed to unintentionally deny it. At this moment, the Li family is carefully considering the nobles in the capital and choosing a daughter-in-law for their son Qin Hao!

Yi Xuan naturally responded with an unambiguous smile. Li Shi also smiled casually: "You can rest assured to go to the front to pick up people, the entertainment here, I and Yixuan are enough!" ”

Qiu Chen glanced at the two little girls who were muttering, and didn't care what the two of them said, and said to Yi Xuan: "I entrusted the old ladies and old ladies to the lady to take care of those old ladies and old ladies, and I will give you the younger ones." This house is in the hands of the Lin family and the Wang family, and you and your wife should tell them if you have anything! ”

Qiu Chen grabbed her arm, shook his head with a smile, led Ming Wei to follow behind Yi Xuan, walked over to salute the Li family, and met the Tian family and a few Qin family concubines.

This stretched out his hand to help and support, and a sentence of complete love without other praise, so that Mingwei, who had secretly cheered herself up, had a backbone. She took a breath, unfolded a heartfelt smile, looked at Qiu Chen and said with a smile: "It's not that my aunt loves me!" As he spoke, he smiled and bent his knees in thanks.

As he spoke, his gaze fixed on Mingwei's eyebrows.

Qiu Chen greeted him with a smile, stretched out his hand to hold Ming Wei, looked up and down and said with a smile: "Hmm, it's really good-looking, it's better than I thought!" ”

Ming Wei was stared at with envy and jealousy so bluntly, a little uncomfortable, bowed her head and avoided for a moment, thinking about the situation of her sister and brother and mother, and secretly cheered herself up in her heart.

As soon as the mother and daughter walked in, the eyes of Tian and several concubines turned away from Qiu Chen and Aman Niang, focusing on Yixuan's mother and daughter, or more precisely Ming Wei. Although not everyone knows the material of Tianshui Bi, the material itself changes with the flow of light and shadow, and the color of the pattern has fully demonstrated its extraordinary!

Ming Wei held her double bun, her eyebrows were bent, her eyes were bright and clear, her skin was delicate and white, and she was stuck with a piece of red gold inlaid jasper flower in the middle of her forehead between her eyebrows...... More and more eyes are smart, and the spirit is flying. It is commensurate with the Tianshui Bizi on the body, which really complements each other and is the icing on the cake.

Although Yi Xuan is only a concubine, after all, she is a young lady from the Liang Guogong Mansion, and her biological mother Xu has been serving Mrs. Ji for many years. At first glance, Yi Xuan was surprised and moved, but she was not overly polite, and only kept this intention in her heart.

Such a top-notch tribute, non-rich can be used, on weekdays, the ladies and ladies of the noble family can get a handkerchief and feel very dignified, today Qiu Chen used Tianshui Bi to make a straight long gown for Ming Wei, and the material of a dress is enough to make more than a dozen handkerchiefs.

Today, Mingwei is wearing a small jade-colored jacket, a lotus-colored sixteen-folded floor-length skirt, lined with a straight gown. Speaking of this day, the water is blue, it is the best silk, and there are only 200 horses every year, even if the palace concubines get one, it is also a big face. Qiu Chen also got a total of four horses, two of which were rewarded when she was awarded the title of Ning'an County Lord, and the other two were rewarded by Qin Zheng after returning from a great victory. The biggest feature is that the jacquard pattern will change with the rotation of the light.

Yi Xuan is wearing a straight gown with a red begonia in spring, a stone blue horse-faced pleated long skirt, a peach heart bun wearing a red gold beaded golden phoenix, her face is like jade, beautiful and rich, graceful and square. Ming Wei is ten years old after the New Year, her figure has risen a lot, she is already on ear level with Yi Xuan, her appearance is a little more delicate and less gorgeous than Yi Xuan, but she is also fresh and smart, delicate and lovely.

After greeting here, Yi Xuan rushed over from the back garden with Ming Wei.

Qiu Chen politely comforted a few words, and gave a look to the Lin family, who was in charge of the reception and placement in the hall, and asked them to take a good look at the few people in the room.

The two thirteen or fourteen-year-old concubines brought by the Li family today have all grown up as invisible people, and it is already good to be able to see people generously when they are brought out, so there is no need to worry about them causing trouble.

After entering the house, it was another greeting greeting, Qiu Chen greeted Tian and a few sisters casually, and then told Li the general process of the flower party, and sincerely entrusted Li to greet the older female guests for her. As for Tian, after the Spring Festival, she no longer had any hope, and now that people came to the door, she greeted her with a smile and greeted her politely, which was the biggest limit, and it was impossible to help her without any worries. She is not a virgin, nor is she a blood relative, and she is not obliged to bear the malice, and she is still so selfless!

Just after the end of the hour, Qin Xiuyi and the Li family took Qin Hao and a few older concubines and concubines to the house, Qiu Chen got the letter, and hurriedly walked out to welcome the second gate, after seeing the ceremony, Qin Xiuyi took his sons to follow Qin Zheng to the front yard. Qiu Chen led the Li family, the second young grandmother Tian family, and several concubines into the backyard and into the hall of Muen Courtyard.

In order to show punishment, Qin Zheng decisively took Brother Yun to the front yard to reduce the time that the stinky boy spent with his wife.

It's really stuffed, I can't cry or laugh, and I don't say anything about the haircut!

Qin Zheng stared at the son who was smiling in his arms with a blue face, and the laughter of his mother and sister was also followed by the son who was smirking, the green tendons of his sideburns bulged high, and he stared at the rampant stinky boy who was laughing in his arms with his wrong teeth, and he really wanted to beat him with a military stick. But looking at his son's happy and stupid face, he can only vomit blood from internal injuries and swallow it back into his stomach, what do such a big person know, I guess I don't know that I heard about marrying a daughter-in-law and other nonsense in my heart, and I want to marry back when I see a beautiful one...... So, he Qin Zheng was tragic. The first person who dared to snatch his wife in front of him was actually his own son!

Qiu Chen and Man'er laughed without imagination.

"Poof......haha"

"Poof......

Listening to her husband's simple two words, as if he was dealing with business, he was trying to express his dissatisfaction, so big, he was not as good as his one-year-old son who could speak...... As soon as she opened her mouth, she suddenly heard Brother Yun'er's unusually fierce oath!

Brother Yun was held in Qin Zheng's arms, and at this time he also reversed his body, tilted his head to look at his mother, and said with a surprised face: "Mother, beautiful!" Pretty...... Mother, I'll marry you! ”

Before the words fell, Qin Zheng walked over from the West House with Brother Yun in his arms, and raised his eyes to see his wife standing in front of the dressing mirror. His wife was facing away from him, and the first thing he saw was his wife's slender, upright and beautiful back, and the second time he saw the reflected face of his wife's dress in the mirror...... He was stunned for a moment, then pulled the corners of his mouth, showed a smile, and nodded approvingly: "Good-looking!" ”

"My mother is so beautiful!" Man'er watched Qiu Chen finish changing his clothes from the side, and couldn't help but sigh with his cheeks on his cheeks.

Qiu Chen also wore a rare makeup today, wearing a blue pleated long skirt, outlining a delicate and exquisite twig pattern with silver threads, a tooth-white shirt with narrow sleeves and thin sleeves, and a narrow waist and wide sleeved gown with jade embroidered purple and white magnolia flowers, not so gorgeous, but enough to make people shine, and add a touching charm to the beauty!

On Man'er's forehead is a butterfly-shaped red gold inlaid with ruby flowers. What was sent to Ming Wei was a rose-shaped jasper-shaped Hua Tian, which just matched the half-sleeved straight gown that Qiu Chen had prepared for Ming Wei before, and matched with Ming Wei's relatively softer and more beautiful appearance, which should complement each other and match the temperament!

After laughing, Qiu Chen hurriedly took another Huadian and put it in a small box to send the girl to Wisteria Xuan and give it to Mingwei.

caused Qiu Chen to laugh happily.

Man'er's mouth is also sweet, and he blinked his eyes and looked at his mother with joy on his face and smiled: "My mother is good-looking, Man'er is good-looking!" ”

Qiu Chen looked at his daughter in the mirror, showed a happy smile from the bottom of his heart, held Man'er's face, looked at the real person, and then looked at the person in the mirror, and said with infinite joy: "My daughter is really the most beautiful and beautiful!" Whatever! ”

Man'er's pair of eyebrows and a pair of eyes are the longest, the thick eyebrows are slightly curved, the eyebrows are not scattered, lined with a pair of large, black and moist eyes, beautiful and very with a slight heroic and sassy bearing. Now the forehead stickers lined with this red gold and ruby are more and more picturesque, and the eyes are clear and expressive.

Man'er blinked his eyes, looked at himself in the mirror, and couldn't help but have a deep joy in his eyes.

A piece of red treasure red gold flower is attached to the middle of the forehead between the eyebrows, and the brilliant gold sets off the brilliant ruby, which is beautiful at the same time, but also reflects a pair of beautiful big eyes that are more and more bright and clear, lively and agile to make people happy!

For adults, she uses very funny decorations, her daughter is young and not good at makeup, so she decorates this gorgeous and beautiful flower, but it just makes up for the monotony of not being able to wear makeup!

This kind of flower was also turned into a flower yellow earlier, some were pasted, and some were simply painted on the face with a brush dipped in dye and used as decoration. Face ornaments are particularly popular in the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties, after entering the Song Dynasty, gradually faded the popular halo, to the new dynasty after the Ming Kingdom, Hua Tian became the exclusive term of hair accessories, Hua Huang also almost completely withdrew from the women's makeup table. Qiu Chen's set of Huadian was picked up when she was shopping, she just thought it was interesting at the time, and she didn't expect to use it, until today, she suddenly remembered it and used it on her daughter's face.

As he spoke, Qiu Chen took out a piece of Huadian and ...... This type of flower is not a hair ornament worn on the head, but a face appliqué with a thin layer of gold leaf and a thin ruby of excellent color, which is used to attach it to the forehead and cheeks for decoration.

While speaking, Qiu Chen turned his eyes away and searched in the makeup box, and after a while, Qiu Chen finally said in surprise: "Okay, I found it!" ”

Qiu Chen came back to his senses and carefully noticed his daughter's unhappiness, so he quickly pulled up a smile, leaned over and kissed his daughter's cheek, and said with a smile: "Good-looking, good-looking, how can my daughter not be good-looking!" My mother is just thinking about what to add to you......"

The mother frowned as she looked at herself tidy up...... Don't you like how you dress up?

"Mother, isn't Man'er good-looking?" Looking at the mother in the mirror, she frowned, and the little girl asked suspiciously, and there was a faint injury in her eyes when she looked through the mirror!

With such a life experience, there is such an outstanding appearance...... Qiu Chen secretly reminded himself in his heart that he must protect his daughter's happiness, and must not let it become a bargaining chip for power dumping transactions!

Qiu Chen looked at the two faces next to each other in the mirror, and had to sigh, Aman's daughter inherited the advantages of Begonia and Hu Yanxun's appearance, and when she grows up, she must be more than Begonia's beautiful and lovely, although she dare not say that she is stunning, but she must also be a rare beauty!

Aman is already seven years old, from the appearance of a meaty little bun when he was a child, after jumping taller, his body has also opened a little, although he can't talk about the girl's grace, his cheeks are still chubby, but he also has a little bit of girl's unique lightness, plus the beautiful and smart black eyes, and the delicate skin that is blown up, there is already a little bit of the prototype of a little beauty.

Qiu Chen looked at a pile of clothes, picked out a pearl white Lingzi dress with narrow sleeves and pleated floor-length skirts, outlined the color line with gold and silver threads to depict the finely embroidered butterfly skirt, plus a begonia red half-sleeved loose skirt shirt, added a xia-colored silk satin belt, with mutton fat jade gold toad gui forbidden step, excellent water color jasper double fish ring, and a silver-white embroidered butterfly wearing a wishful purse...... The hair is combed into a double bun, and the hair bun is held with red gold inlaid pearl goldfish hairpins, red gold inlaid coral gemstone cordyceps hairpins, and the small braids on both sides are sandwiched with golden bells the size of beans, and the sound is fine and crisp, pleasant and moving.

After Aman and his brother exercised in the morning, they washed up and went to Mu'en Courtyard for breakfast, and then asked Qiu Chen to help pick out clothes.

The next day, Aman asked Mr. Tang for leave again, and invited Tang Jiazhuo and Tang Jiafei to come over as a guest again, as well as the young masters who helped Ah Fu entertain him.

Because the second day was the day of the flower festival, Qiu Chen took the children to clean up and rest early.

Immediately behind the two, Qin Zheng turned back to Mu'en Courtyard, and there were children of all sizes left in the back garden, chatting and laughing and playing relaxedly, until the beginning of Shen, Shao Ziyan took his wife and children to leave, and the two brothers of the Tang family also left.

Yang Jingyong said to Qin Zheng, and when Yang Jingyong and Yang Jingfang left, the recipe for 'fish and sheep fresh' had already been delivered, Qin Zheng handed the folded recipe to Yang Jingyong, Yang Jingyong didn't even look at it, and handed it directly to Yang Jingfang's hands, and then said goodbye.

A chic and fresh 'fish and sheep fresh' conquered everyone present, and the fresh and ingenious method of making zuò also made all the things that were eaten, seen, not eaten and not seen but heard, all of them were full of praise and yearning.

Yang Jingyong raised his hand to pat Yang Jingfang's shoulder, raised the plate in his hand, and said with a smile: "Don't be cold, eat while it's hot!" ”

Yang Jingfang was slightly moved, and the smile on her face was sincere, "Second brother's heart, my brother has received it!" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Yang Jingfang: "Later, you will ask the Marquis of Jingbei...... Well, I'll wait for the Queen Mother's Thousand Autumn Festival to pass, and then go to the palace to ask for a recipe! ”

Yang Jingyong's face was calm, and he nodded with a smile: "Well, it will be the Queen Mother's Thousand Autumn Festival in a few days, and this dish at the banquet is fresh and delicious, and it is atmospheric, and the meaning is good......"

The second prince Yang Jingyong's biological mother died early, will it make him unhappy when he mentions his father and mother in front of him? !

After speaking, Yang Jingfang felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly turned her eyes to look at Yang Jingyong.

Swallowing a piece of mutton, Yang Jingfang nodded and sighed again: "How is this dish made, I must ask the county lord of Anning later, I want to cook the recipe, and take it to my father and queen mother to taste!" ”

In the fine white porcelain plate, the tender red meat of the mutton and the snow-white and delicate fish meat are still slightly steaming, exuding an attractive fragrance and deliciousness...... Yang Jingfang, who had already eaten two plates, couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks and eat them again.

"It's rare, how did the county lord of Anning figure it out!" After eating two plates in a row and drinking another glass of wine, her stomach was a little stretched, Yang Jingfang was not as eager as before, and while handing the wine glass to the girl, she couldn't help but sigh while looking at the dishes on the plate.

Yang Jingyong stretched out his hand and handed a glass of wine to Yang Jingfang from the little girl next to him, and took another glass himself.

Yang Jingfang quickly finished the second plate, and rushed up to grab the third plate and brought it out, and in a blink of an eye, I saw that Yang Jingyong was also holding a plate of mutton and fish and exited from the crowd, and the brothers met their eyes and smiled at each other.

Everyone admired, chewed, and then uncontrollably went to pick up the fish and mutton......

…………

"What a coincidence...... It's hard to figure it out! ”

"It's so fresh!"

"Incense!"

"Fresh!"

For a moment, the crowd 'hissed...... ......The fish and mutton have just been wrapped in a thick shell, and they are still hot after opening, and they are very hot in the mouth, but they still can't stop, and they continue to eat while exhaling!

As the little master, Afu Aman naturally stepped forward, one with a plate and the other with chopsticks to distribute it, and everyone had a copy in a moment. Everyone was no longer politely detained, and stepped forward to grab the fish and mutton, and then took a step back and began to taste it a little impatiently.

The two princes moved, and Qin Zheng beckoned to the children, Mr. Liang, the doorman and others: "Don't be detained, it looks like you have to eat while it's hot, do it yourself!" ”

With his tasting experience, everyone was even more eager to try. Yang Jingyong watched him eat a bite of meat, showed a look of enjoyment, and no longer waited, took the plate and chopsticks again, sandwiched the fish and mutton, took a step back, and began to eat.

As he spoke, he took the plate and chopsticks unceremoniously, and took the lead in holding the piece of meat and putting it into his mouth: "Hiss...... Call...... Fragrant...... Fresh! It's actually mutton...... Fish and sheep are fresh! It's so delicious! ”

Yang Jingfang looked at the plate handed to her and was slightly stunned, and then looked at Yang Jingyong with a big smile, and thanked her with a smile: "Thank you, second brother!" ”

Yang Jingyong looked at him and smiled slightly, pulled open the fish bones, took out a piece of meat from the fish's stomach, connected the piece of fish meat just now and put it on the plate, and handed it to Yang Jingfang without hesitation: "Fourth brother, try it...... This method of the county lord of Anning is very fresh, and the taste must be extremely delicious! ”

"Hey, there's something else in there!" Yang Jingfang was second in order, and she was still looking at it with curiosity, so she was the first to discover that there was another mystery in the fish's body.

In terms of identity, in terms of the two of them, and in terms of age, Yang Jingyong is the oldest, so he is naturally not polite. Yang Jingyong nodded, reached out and took a saucer, a pair of chopsticks, and sandwiched a piece of fish meat between the fish body......

Qin Zheng, as the master, naturally raised his hand and motioned to the two princes: "Prince Yong, Prince Fu, please!" ”

Everyone turned their eyes slightly, and then they saw that there was already a stack of delicate white porcelain plates around the wooden plate, and a pair of chopsticks were placed next to it, apparently for the tableware for tasting this whole fish.

Finally, Yun Tong, who was holding the big tweezers, also finished his work, picked up a plate of fragments, bent his knees towards everyone with Wu Lan, and slowly retreated.

This smell is a little familiar, but it is also like seeing it for the first time...... It was confirmed that it was a whole fish, but it did not smell fishy when it got into the nostrils...... This smell is mixed with a certain quality, not to mention the fishy smell, but also extraordinarily fresh and attractive, which makes people a little impatient, want to see what mystery there is, but also taste it with your own mouth, can exude this mysterious and attractive fragrance, and how beautiful the taste is.

Knowing that the shell was wrapped in a big fish, but it was made with such a fresh method, everyone was curious and expectant, and turned their eyes to see the fish meat that the girls gradually broke through the shell...... As more and more pieces were removed, a rich and strange fragrance came out and penetrated into everyone's nostrils.

Everyone turned their eyes to look at the sound when they heard the sound, and sure enough, no one paid attention to it just now, and after being reminded by Ah Fu to look at it again, they saw that there was a layer of blue and gray on the inside of the 'shell' that was removed, faintly with the lines of fish scales, but it was just the fish skin stuck to the shell!

At this time, Ah Fu suddenly pointed to the pieces and said, "If it's really a fish, the fish skin is here!" ”

Wu Lan used a copper hammer and copper drill to punch a hole in the 'fish's body, and successfully knocked out many cracks and cracks in the 'shell' on the surface. At this point, Wu Lan had already finished her work, and Yun Tong, who was waiting on the side, stepped forward with a large tweezer in his hand, gently tapped the cracked 'shell', and then clamped the loose pieces, slowly uncovered them, and put them into a plate next to them.

The two little girls lowered their eyes, completely unaffected by everyone's questioning and doubts.

Seeing the little girl using a copper hammer and copper chisel to knock on the outer layer of things, many people present guessed that the outer layer of the 'shell' was wrapped in a real fish, but the shell peeled off, if the fish was exposed, it should be blue-black, blue-gray fish skin, how to expose the white contents?

"Hey, why is it still white?" Yang Jingfang was puzzled for the first time.

Wu Lan held a copper drill in his left hand and a copper hammer in his right hand, as if carved by a stonemason, knocking out holes on the central longitudinal line of the fish's body, knocking out holes one by one, everyone could see, the neat and smooth 'fish' body cracked a crack, like an ice crack, and some of the splinters peeled off with the percussion action of Wu Lan, and finally revealed the true face hidden inside.

A group of people, no matter how big or small, no matter their identity, all gathered around in surprise, confusion and curiosity, stretched their necks and stared at the two little girls in the field. It was Qiu Chen's second-class girls Wu Lan and Yun Tong who were sent in, and they could be regarded as well-informed, calm and generous, and were stared at by so many people, so they didn't panic and lose their proportions, and they were still able to calmly follow their wife's instructions step by step.
