Today is the day of the Weiwang Mansion to celebrate the triumphant return of the prince and entertain the guests. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn order to celebrate this once-in-a-century victory in Jing'an, Wei Wangfu chartered the entire Wanfu Building, and in the Beijing-China social circle, the middle and lower classes are all invited to the restaurant, and only the top can receive invitations to set up a banquet in the palace; In addition, in order to celebrate with the people, Weiwangfu also contracted a medium-sized restaurant in the four directions of east, west, north and south in the capital, and opened a three-day flowing water banquet, and the people did not care who it was, as long as they said two auspicious words, they could go in and have a big meal. Therefore, after the entire celebration banquet was held, the budget outside the palace alone exceeded 200,000 silver taels.

Not to mention the banquet held at home, all the ingredients and fine wine are all ordered at the top level, although there are only 60 tables prepared, but the total cost is not much less than that of the restaurant.

As the mother of the house, Zhihua got up before dawn. The restaurant only needs to spend money, and there is very little to worry about. But the banquet she organized at home was very important, and she did many things herself.

has the experience of running a full moon wine last time, and this time Zhihua is also very familiar with things. After getting up and using a breakfast pad to pad my stomach, I immediately started the busy day non-stop.

inspect the layout and placement of hospitality places; inspect ingredients and dishes; In the end, I went to Huanyi Pavilion again, and personally checked the several sets of hospitality clothes that the family was going to wear today, and my father-in-law Shen Bin sent someone to send it over, and my husband and daughter took them back to the Wuyi Courtyard by themselves.

Back in the courtyard, Shen Ze had just finished his morning exercise and was still washing; Xi'er also got up and was eating breakfast in the nurse's arms. Zhihua saw that she was eating sweetly, so she didn't bother, and went back to her room to change clothes first.

When the family of three finished taking care of the chores, it was just the right time. The palace is open, the guests are about to arrive, and it is time for the husband and wife to welcome them.

Shen Ze was responsible for greeting male guests in the front yard, and Zhihua was responsible for entertaining female relatives at the second gate, because there was no mother-in-law at home, so she invited her aunt and Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Song to accompany her early morning. Mrs. Song is highly respected, Mrs. Wen is also famous, Zhihua since the eldest princess's birthday banquet to give plum blossoms and ink treasures to get acquainted with them, after marriage, did not forget to move around often, is to ask them to help entertain guests is just right. There was also a princess Yan who gave the word at the beginning, because she was arrogant and didn't like to socialize, Zhihua didn't open this mouth.

Mrs. Song was a decent person, the most particular about the rules, and agreed to help Zhihua entertain guests, and arrived outside the palace as soon as the time arrived, becoming the first guest today.

Zhihua hadn't seen her for months, and after saying hello, she was about to take the opportunity to talk to her, but Mrs. Song waved her hand thoughtfully. "There will be more people in a while, and you won't be able to say hello, so it's better to save your saliva. We don't have to rush to chat, there will be opportunities in the future. ”

Zhihua smiled, and did not refuse her kindness, so she arranged for Bai Lan, the most powerful girl beside her, to personally send her to Biyuxuan, which was dedicated to entertaining women.

As soon as Mrs. Song left, Mrs. Wen, Mrs. Jiang and another Mrs. Cheng came together. Mrs. Cheng was brought by Mrs. Jiang, and happened to arrive at the Weiwang Mansion at the same time as Mrs. Wen. With the refreshing Mrs. Jiang here, the three of them mingled after a few words of greeting at the gate, so they walked together, as if they had made an appointment in advance.

Mrs. Cheng is Cheng Zhi's eldest daughter-in-law. Since the last time Zhihua was relieved in Wanfu Lou, the Cheng family had intended to move around with the Wei Wangfu Mansion a lot, so when she heard that Mrs. Jiang had taken on the task of helping to accompany the guests this time, she volunteered to make up the number. Mrs. Jiang knew what she meant when she heard it, so she didn't refuse. Therefore, today she took the first step, and the second lady of the Cheng family led a few delicate guests to arrive later.

Watching Chunxi lead the three to the backyard, Zhihua breathed a sigh of relief. With four ladies in charge, she doesn't have to worry about being inconsiderate, she is really relieved.

Mrs. Song was really prescient, and after a while, the number of guests who visited gradually increased. The big guys all know that only the top noble families can receive the official invitation of the Weiwang Mansion today, and those who are in the camp all give gifts, pull relationships, sharpen their heads and want to blend in. Therefore, before half of the time to welcome the guests, the guests were already in an endless stream, and Zhihua greeted him with a dry mouth, and he didn't even have time to drink saliva.

The number of people who came to congratulate today was really much beyond expectations, fortunately, Zhihua had expected this situation, although there were only 60 tables for the time being, but the purchased ingredients were enough to open more than 100 tables, so there was no need to worry. I took some time to run errands to send a message to Han's mother, asking her to quickly find someone to open up more seats. As soon as he finished the order, he turned his head and saw that his mother's family had arrived.

The number of people in the Weiwang Mansion is too small today, and there is only a small Lu family among the in-laws. Out of face, Zhihua sent an invitation card to the Lu family's old house and the big house after the separation, so at this time, Lu Jiawu pressed a group of people.

Mrs. Wang Liming looks good, perhaps because there is no mother-in-law to point fingers after the separation, and her waist is straight. In the invitation card sent by the Wei Wangfu, the lowest one is the Lu family, so many people who can't find the way to come to the door begging to come to the door, promising all kinds of benefits just to go with today. Wang Liming is also measured, knowing that the only reliance on Dafang now is this eldest daughter, so he only brought his two nieces from his mother's family, and the rest who don't know each other will refuse. But Mrs. Lu, who was born in a business, is different, although the invitation card indicates that she can only bring three companions at most, but she thinks that the princess can not drive the guests brought by her mother's family out, so not only her granddaughter is not all dispatched, but also the families who give the most gifts should also be inherited, and the two ladies in the second and third rooms led a dozen charming cardamom girls to the door to congratulate, which is very spectacular.

As soon as she saw this battle, Zhihua was already laughing until the corners of her stiff mouth couldn't lift it anymore. It seems that I've been too busy lately to have time to knock these people properly. Thinking so in her heart, the expression on her face was a little salty, and she politely greeted the three older ladies, and did not look at those girls more, and several cousins were no exception.

"Zhilan, your cousin is really arrogant." Following the little maid who led the way, the best woman in the same industry and Zhilan held her arm and quietly muttered.

The other girl closest to them was looking around at the scenery of the palace, catching this muttering in her ears, and interjected with a sneer: "If you were the princess, it would not be much better." ”

Zhilan is only two months younger than Lu Yan, a thirteen-year-old girl is the age of face-loving, hearing her friends talk about her cousin like this, she just felt that she couldn't hold her face, so she said a little unhappily: "If you can't get used to it, don't follow with a dead face, why is my sister putting on a face, it's not because she brought you all shabby." ”

If this word spreads, a bad reputation of disliking the poor and loving the rich and snobbish should fall on Zhihua, which annoys her to pursue it, and everyone in the group will have to be unlucky. The two concubines pretended to be deaf and dumb, but the eldest lady really couldn't sit idly by, so she scolded with a calm face: "Shut up!" If you go out as a guest, you can't control your mouth, don't come out and be embarrassed if you don't learn the rules! ”

This was too heavy, although she didn't name them, the two girls who just talked too much were red-eyed, Zhilan relied on her grandmother to love her too much and never been afraid of this aunt, so she was still very unconvinced and wanted to talk back, but she was quietly pulled by Zhi'an behind her, and for some reason, she didn't make any more trouble.

The two nieces brought by Wang Liming lowered their heads and quickly exchanged glances, and smiled meaningfully. (To be continued.) )
