Chapter 102: Chrysanthemum Banquet
Ziyue's cheeks were crimson when Zhaoying said, and she twisted her around Zhaoying's waist, "Don't talk nonsense, I won't get married." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I want to follow Miss for the rest of my life. ”
"I'm going to follow Miss for the rest of my life."
"Your brother has become an imperial doctor, you won't be the eldest lady, what do you follow us to do."
"I want you to care, I want to follow the young lady to eat and drink spicy food."
……
The three girls chattered and laughed all the way, and soon arrived at the Mu Mansion.
Zhaoying held the flower pot, Ziyue held the sheepskin bag, and the two went back to the bamboo garden first. Linglong went to Ciyuan to greet her grandmother.
"You're just in time." As soon as Linglong entered the house, the old lady beckoned to her and said, full of spring breeze.
"What a happy event, my grandmother was so happy that she looked like she was a few years younger. Could it be that my father has been promoted? Linglong smiled and sat down on the chair under the old lady's head.
Autumn came, and the chairs and stools in the old lady's house were replaced with new cushions. The chair has a vermilion background with golden begonia flowers embroidered on it. On the stool, there is an octagonal cushion with a dark green background and embroidered with apricot yellow marigolds.
As soon as I entered the house, I felt full of autumn. Linglong thought of the five-story flower shelf in Mei Jiuniang's yard. The Resurrection Pill has been given to her, and it's her business to use it.
"Nonsense there again, in recent times, in addition to rewarding the Zhou family, rewarding the child of Qiankun, rewarding the kid of Hu Ming, who else has he rewarded, it is good not to be punished, your father has been trembling in the court recently. At the end of the morning, the court clothes can be soaked. The old lady's words were full of worry about her beloved son.
After that incident, the emperor was indignant at several defectors, not only beheaded all over the house, but also whipped the principal for five days, and the ministers of the court and the central government were all terrified.
"What would make my grandmother so happy, Linglong couldn't guess."
"It's you and your second sister, it's really blessed, you can actually vote for the eyes of the Jiang sisters." The old lady smiled happily and asked Su'er to bring the post.
Seeing Su'er, Linglong felt that her eyes lit up, and she was slightly taken aback, but she didn't expect that after a few days of training in Liuli's hands, she would change so much, she had already taken off the childishness and timidity of a child, leaving only calmness, ability and keenness. The style of the whole body, it doesn't look like a third-class girl, but it looks like a big girl like glass. I can't tell at all that she was still an errand runner in the pulp washing room a few days ago.
took the post that Su'er brought over, and the exquisite style unfolded. The cover of the post is frosted, the heavy paper is very weighty in the hand, the light pink bottom is obliquely painted with a plum, full of interest, the lower right corner of the post is stamped, Furun Shuanghui, is Jiang Shuanghui's private seal. Thirteen Niang Jiang Shuanghui invited her to go to Jiang's mansion to play the day after tomorrow, and she wanted to hold a chrysanthemum banquet.
This banquet should be in the crab banquet of returning Zheying. Reasoning, the next banquet should be organized by Ling Rong and herself, but I don't know if Xiao will agree. If Lingyu is here, the Xiao family will definitely let Lingyu return to the banquet, and maybe they will have to invite the troupe and the chef outside to entertain them.
"The day after tomorrow, you and Rong girl will go over, don't make any jokes. Casting Miss Jiangfu's eyes is a blessing for the two of you, and it will benefit you a lot. You children don't understand, just remember and behave well. The old lady told Linglong.
"Got it." Linglong understood that the benefit that the old lady was referring to was her marriage to Lingrong.
The Jiang family is high, and those who can come to their house as guests are either rich or expensive, and the Jiang family has always been of good character, close to Zhu Zhechi, and the guests in their house will not be too bad. If the young master of any family takes a fancy to Linglong and Lingrong and comes to propose marriage, even if it is a concubine, it is far better than the in-laws that the Xiao family found for them.
The old lady has the heart to protect Lingrong and Linglong, but after all, Xiao is the mother-in-law, and the old lady can't ignore her opinions in marriage.
Thinking of this, Shen Yunchi's face suddenly jumped out of Linglong's mind, with a black and red face, sharp and angular, grinning and smirking, and he couldn't wave it. Linglong felt a hot face, afraid that the old lady would see something, so she used the excuse that the sachets embroidered for Jiang Shisanniang and Shishiniang had not yet been completed, so she had to hurry up and embroider it.
Since it was for the Jiang sisters, of course the old lady hoped that Linglong would keep improving, and she would not keep her more, so she asked Su'er to pack two boxes of jujube paste yam cake and two boxes of horseshoe cake for Linglong to take back.
With a snack in one hand and a hot face in the other, Linglong left Ciyuan and ran back to Zhuyuan.
Xiao Shi was naturally itching in Fang Yuanqi's teeth, and while making tiger pillows for Lingyu's unborn child, he scolded Lingrong and Linglong Fox Spirit.
That night, the kitchen added vegetables to Lingrong and Linglong, a rock sugar aloe vera, a hawthorn inulin cake, a lily lotus seed soup, and a cheese green mango, all of which were beauty and beauty foods.
Linglong didn't eat, and gave a table of food to the maiden who was waiting in the yard, saying that it was the grace of his wife and rewarding them to take care of themselves day and night. As a result, everything that was eaten was full of stomach trouble in the middle of the night. A mother-in-law was greedy and ate more, and her face turned green overnight.
Purple Moon and Shadow smacked Xiao's viciousness.
On the day of the chrysanthemum feast, Lingrong and Linglong got into the carriage and happily went to Jiang's mansion for the banquet, and Xiao scolded the kitchen for being useless.
The name of the century-old family of the Jiang Mansion is really not in vain. The mansion of Nuoda occupies two and a half streets. The decoration is exquisite and elegant, inside and out, revealing the atmosphere of a house of poetry, books and etiquette.
got out of the carriage and was led by two maids to Linglong and Lingrong to Thirteen Niang.
Thirteen Niang is in the second room, Yan Ying's fiancé Jiang Shijie is her brother-in-law, Thirteen Niang's sister Twelve Niang got married last year in Laba, married Yongnan Hou, and now she is the wife of Houfu in Kaifeng. In addition to Jiang Shijie and her, there are two four or five-year-old sisters and a two-year-old brother. Fourteen Niang is the eldest daughter of the third room, the third room is thin, and there is only a six-year-old younger brother below her.
The chrysanthemum banquet was held in the water pavilion in the second room, the girls who were not out of the pavilion in the Jiang Mansion were all age, all those over six years old came, and each invited their friends, two by two, three or five in groups, all of them actually accounted for half of the water pavilion, looking at it from afar, it was beautiful and beautiful.
Because of avoiding suspicion, Yan Ying did not come. Only Zhe Ying brought Shen Xinyi over, Zhe Ying wore a bright red gown with sunset entwined branches, and she was cute and cute. Shen Xinyi was dressed in a bean-green makeup gown, with a white and clean little face, sitting quietly next to Zhe Ying, compared with Zhe Ying's liveliness, she looked more gentle and moving. In the days that she lived in the Li Mansion, Shen Xinyi gained a lot of weight.
Seeing Linglong and Lingrong, Zhe Ying happily took Shen Xinyi's hand and greeted her, "I'm worried about the two of you, I'm afraid that your wife won't let you come." ”
While speaking, Thirteen Niang and Fourteen Niang had already come over from the crowd, "I'm waiting for you, now that everyone is here, we can also have a banquet." ”
Thirteen Niang's personal maids turned to leave, and after a while, a group of little maids came out, each holding a pot of chrysanthemums in their hands. Only then did Linglong notice that in the center of the water pavilion were placed three interconnected circular five-story flower shelves.
As the little maidens placed the pots on the flower shelves, the chatter and laughter of the guests lowered to a burst of exclamations.
No wonder they exclaimed, Thirteen Niang's chrysanthemum banquet this time is really generous.
Green chrysanthemum, single chrysanthemum, Zang chrysanthemum, large chrysanthemum, multi-headed chrysanthemum, desk chrysanthemum...... All kinds of flowers, I am afraid that all the chrysanthemums in this world have been collected by Thirteen Niang. Master Hui'an loves flowers, and there are several chrysanthemum albums alone, and Linglong has been reading them since he was a child, so he knows almost all chrysanthemums.
"Your aunt is really generous, so many precious chrysanthemums, they are really collected, how much energy and how much silver it takes." Linglong and Zhe Ying sighed.
"Where is my aunt," Zhe Ying covered her mouth and smiled, "It's her fiancé." Knowing that she loves chrysanthemums, she searched everywhere from the north and south of the river, and the silver of the flowers was like flowing water, so she begged people everywhere to get these precious chrysanthemum seedlings, and invited flower farmers from all over the country at a high price to help Thirteen take care of them. Zhe Ying's face was full of admiration.
is so good to Jiang Shuanghui, no wonder she has to marry thousands of miles away.
I wish to have one heart, and the white head will not be separated. Three thousand weak water, only this scoop. To have such a person who is willing to work so hard to care for him is enough in this life.
As he was talking, a few handsome sons came over from the south side of the water pavilion, causing a few young ladies to blush and secretly look at their eyes.
"The one who wears navy blue and holds a white fan is my future brother-in-law." Zhe Ying smiled and whispered in Linglong's ear.
Linglong looked over, Jiang Shijie was beautiful and handsome, but Linglong always felt that his scholarly atmosphere was too strong, and he was a little weak.
It was Ji Bingqian who walked side by side with Jiang Shijie, and the two talked and laughed, and they looked like they were in love. They were followed by several teenagers of the same age, Pianpian Gongzi, Linglong only recognized Li Min.
Looking at the crowd, there was no Shen Yunqi, and Linglong was a little disappointed.
I didn't expect Ji Bingqian, who was born in a businessman, to have such a deep friendship with these official eunuchs.
Seeing Thirteen Niang and Zhe Ying, Jiang Shijie turned around and said something to the young masters behind him, and then Jiang Shijie walked over, and Ji Bingqian followed him all the way.
"I'm also here to take your light, and bring the students from the academy to see it, so that they can also open their eyes." After greeting Zhe Ying and Shen Xinyi, Jiang Shijie said to Thirteen Niang half-jokingly and half-seriously.
The voice was a little muffled.
Thirteen Niang said angrily: "Brother is here to make trouble, quickly take them to eat crabs and drink bars." Early this morning, he sent three carts of crabs and dozens of jars of fine Shaoxing wine. When it comes to her fiancé, Thirteen Niang blames Jiang Shijie's voice for being sweet and glutinous, with red clouds on her cheeks.
"You have to promise to let us move a few pots of chrysanthemums over, and it's fun to enjoy chrysanthemums while eating crabs, otherwise what's the point of eating crabs dryly." Jiang Shijie demanded.
Linglong smacked her tongue, is this what my brother and sister look like? How does it feel like a son and mother are talking, and they are actually half-coquettish, and they can't help but look up at Jiang Shijie.
saw Ji Bingqian's phoenix eyes, looking at Lingrong burningly. Linglong looked at Lingrong in surprise, Lingrong buried her head slightly, and her face was like a peach blossom.
When did this happen? Linglong's heart became uneasy. (To be continued.) )
