029 osmanthus feast
Yuxuan said: "Moqin, let the dyeing painting come in!" Dye Hua entered the house and saluted Sister Yujing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Yuxuan asked: "What's mysterious about it, running to the Linglong Pavilion to chew Moqin's ears?" ”
Dye said: "Miss Yu, third miss." Just now I passed by the main room and saw that the eldest lady and the second lady were there, and the second lady said proudly that the lady asked her to assist the osmanthus banquet with the eldest lady next month. ”
Yuxuan now understood why Yujing was suddenly yin and yang, and said with a smile while being surprised that Yujing was well-informed: "Associate is assistant, what's the big deal." Could it be that if you help hold an osmanthus banquet, you will have to take over the housekeeping of the family? ”
Dye said: "Naturally not. It's just that the slaves and maids are worried, this is the first time that the lady has hosted a banquet for the ladies and wives in the capital after returning to Beijing, why don't you find the third lady but the eldest lady and the second lady instead, and say something offensive, why is it still the third lady and the young lady kiss the lady, in case they make a bad thing, won't it ruin the reputation of the lady? ”
"You're going to have to worry about that." Yujing said on the side: "This osmanthus banquet is specially organized for the two eldest ladies, how can it destroy the Great Wall?" ”
Yuxuan was puzzled: "Sister to explain it plainly, why am I confused?" ”
Yujing said: "You also read the banquet list in the morning, don't you understand?" This is a blind date banquet in disguise. Why did Jiang Yuqian and Jiang Yufang follow Shangjing, didn't Jiang Yuqian always be proud and refused to follow her mother? It's not that I'm old and want to find a family member from a wealthy family, so I got married to my mother. ”
Yuxuan said: "My father is now a member of the second grade, and the eldest sister can get married without having to tie up with her mother." ”
"In this capital, what is the second grade? Mother is backed by the old mansion, how can the connections behind her be comparable to that of a father who has just risen from the second grade? ”
Yuxuan finally figured it out, and was also surprised by Jiang Huang's ambitions, I don't know what she instilled in Yuqian? I want to get the benefits of my mother, but my nose is not a nose and my eyes are not eyes.
In the afternoon, Yujing wanted to rest for a while, and Yuxuan asked Moqin to go back to Anranju first, and she helped the dyeing painting to eat in the garden.
Seeing Mo Qin's figure disappear into the corner of the flowers, she slowly paced towards the second gate with the help of the dyeing painting.
At the second gate, a young man in a green coat and a short robe was standing outside the door with his head bowed.
Yuxuan asked him to raise his head and looked at it a few times, his appearance was not outstanding, but there was a free and righteous spirit between his eyebrows and eyes, and he looked pure and clever.
Yuxuan was very satisfied: "Did I tell you about the dyeing painting?" Do something for me, and the benefits will always be indispensable to you in the future. ”
When Chang'an looked up, he only felt that although the little girl in front of him was small, she was dignified, elegant, rich and compelling, and she knew that the other party was the fourth lady Jiang Yuxuan, the pearl of the master's palm, and she didn't dare to raise her eyes to take a closer look.
Hearing Yuxuan speak, he hurriedly knelt down: "It's a blessing for a kid to be able to do things for Miss." The slave will spare no effort! ”
Yuxuan nodded and said, "I'll let you inquire about a few people: Taifu Siqing, Tongzheng Taichang, according to the inspection envoy, Honglu Siqing and other sons who are around the age of fifteen or sixteen, what is their character?" What are your daily pastimes? ”
Yuxuan took out the silver ticket: "This is fifty taels of silver tickets, you take the flowers first, and then look for dyeing paintings." ”
Chang'an said: "Miss, it won't take fifty taels." ”
Yuxuan said: "If you have more, you will be rewarded, and if you do your errand, you will be rewarded." If I have anything to do in the future, I'll let Dye Hua contact you. ”
Although Chang'an was curious about how this young lady asked about other people's sons, she still agreed to go.
Yuxuan watched him take the silver ticket and go out, patted his chest and supported the dyeing painting and said, "Let's go, don't be discovered by my mother." ”
An's didn't pay attention to her little daughter's movements.
She went through the list again, of course, not only those who have sons, but also Jiang Mutong's boss Sun Shangshu's family, as well as several female relatives who have made friends, as well as An's mother's family, and even An Li, the wife of Wu'anhou, she also sent an invitation.
On the day of the osmanthus feast, several osmanthus trees in the courtyard are in full bloom, and the golden veil full of branches is more dazzling in the sun, and the sweet fragrance wafts throughout the Shilang Mansion.
The days in early autumn were still very warm, and there was a fresh breeze hitting people, so An asked people to set up a shed and put the banquet under the osmanthus tree.
Yuqian and Yufang stood on the left side of An's, and Yujing stood on An's right side to greet guests at the second gate.
Yuxuan had something in her heart, so she didn't follow, she only shirked that she caught a cold at night and didn't go out in the yard.
An's didn't care about her, he just asked someone to send hot soup, hot tea and hot rice, and pulled Yuqian Yufang to introduce it to the ladies.
It's bustling outside, but it's quiet in its own right.
Yuxuan put snacks and melons on the stone table under the osmanthus tree in her yard, poured tea and took a copy of "Seven Swords and Thirteen Heroes" to read.
Reading that the seagull encountered a miracle and got the true biography of the swordsman, Yuxuan patted the table and applauded: "Why can't I meet those strange people in the rivers and lakes, and I also learn kung fu, see who dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head!"
I only heard a laugh outside the courtyard gate, and when I looked up, it was An Jiaying, Yujing and Liu Qi who came in.
Yujing looked at her with hatred, An Jiaying came over and snatched the book in Yuxuan's hand, flipped through it, and said, "Sister Xuan, who broke ground on your head?" If you don't learn martial arts yet, beat her down! ”
Yujing glared at Yuxuan: "How many times has my mother said that you are not allowed to read these books of chivalrous people, why do you have another one now?" Didn't my mother finish searching last time? ”
Yuxuan frowned and said, "This is what I asked the kid in the outer yard to buy newly, but I don't dare to tell my mother." ”
An Jiaying said: "It's okay to take a look, but don't learn from the people above to go out and run around, and do anything chivalrous." The books are all made up to bluff people, where are so many chivalrous people? There are a lot of crutches, so be careful of being crutches. ”
An Jiaying's unintentional words hit Yuxuan's true experience.
Yuxuan snatched back the notebook and handed it to Yanshu to put away, and asked, "Why did you come to me?" How about a banquet outside? Mother also invited the most famous Sanchun Society in Beijing to sing, has the play started? ”
Liu Qi said: "Sister Xuan, there are too few girls outside, only a few of us." It's all some ladies and wives who are there to talk about some parents, we are bored, I heard Sister Jing say that you have a cold, come and see you. ”
Yujing said: "This looks like a cold, I think it's lazy and unwilling to go out." ”
Yuxuan was told the central thing and smiled: "I'm not the protagonist today, what are you going out to have fun?" Come on, come on, my mother will hold an osmanthus banquet, let's hold a small osmanthus banquet in Anranju. ”
Saying that, Yuxuan called Yanshu to go to the small kitchen to bring more snacks: "Yanshu, this girl, is the best at making dim sum." Lotus root flour osmanthus sugar cake, honey horn, and three knives are the most delicious. A few days ago, I also learned to make osmanthus sugar cake with the chef of Xuzhou, a big kitchen, which is sweet but not greasy, and everyone will taste it later. ”
An Jiaying said: "It's all sweet, it's hard for you to eat so much and not get fat." I'd better drink tea with melon seeds. ”
Saying that, he sat down, grabbed a few melon seeds, and then turned to Yujing and said, "I see that most of the people my aunt invited are those who have school-age sons in the family, and she pulled the two young ladies of your family in front of people." Isn't my aunt really interested in their family affairs? ”
