Mrs. Lan Bao's birthday gift, it was finally decided that Gu Yun and the palace chief step-husband and wife would send it together, Ning Peilan had already contacted her family and asked the two men to go to the Ning family's warehouse to choose, they were all rare things that the caravan brought back from all over the country to be sold, and it was really suitable to pick a few as gifts.

When the two of them were discussing whether to pick a red coral, Gu Yun found a box of pearls, which turned out to be rare colored pearls, a few black, a few pink, full and round, all of which were high-quality, Gu Yun bought this box of pearls without thinking.

After the two picked out the congratulatory gifts, when they returned home, Gu Yun gave the black pearl to his mother, and he took the pink pearl to the silver building to make jewelry and gave it to Bai Ko to wear that day.

In order to match the beautiful pearl jewelry, Bai Ko chose a brightly colored dress and dressed her from head to toe, and the girls stood in front of the mirror around her, and they all praised her for her beauty.

Although the birthday banquet was a dinner party, he was going to enter the palace in the afternoon, and the carriage was waiting on the street, Gu Yun deliberately took Bai Ko through the entire Ye Guo Mansion, so that everyone in the mansion could see how beautiful Bai Ko was today.

Jewelry of colored pearls, the ladies and grandmothers in the house themselves do not have a few pieces, the capital is not close to the sea, the price of seawater pearls in the capital is high, the quality is high-quality and colorful, it is a real rare goods, the price has to turn over and rise, Gu Yun can afford to buy it because he has strong financial resources, and he makes jewelry and wears it on Bai Ko's head, which not only arouses envy and jealousy, but also makes people discuss.

The eldest lady who was sitting in the house taking care of the housework listened to the girl talking about this fresh gossip, and shook her head helplessly at Mother Pang beside her.

"The eldest young master of our family is a person with ideas, and now he can't control anything other than being able to restrain him to study hard."

"Isn't this a good thing, I can take charge of the family business by myself, and I don't have to worry about the elders following behind."

"I can't him if I want to, you see the last few times he introduced the noble girl to him, he was impatient, and I don't know if he has other ideas."

"Our brother Yun is a capable person, opening a workshop, doing an imperial businessman, the future young lady naturally has to be carefully selected, and he has to be a husband and wife, and the family has good character and vision, especially character and ability, don't be like the second lady, how can she still have half of the shadow of the scholarly family now."

"Well, when it comes to these two rooms, we have to hurry up about the separation of the family, don't let them do anything stupid and cause us Brother Yun to discuss marriage, as long as it hurts the daughter, who is willing to marry the daughter into a family like ours that is uneasy at home."

"The old lady hasn't let go yet, but don't push it too hard, so as not to make the old lady mutter in her heart, as if the long house is going to drive the second and third rooms out of the house, wait patiently."

"Forget it, let's not talk about the boring stuff, we'll keep busy with ours."

Mrs. Gu shook her head, changed her thinking, and continued to be busy with housework with Pang's mother.

Gu Yun and Bai Ko had already gotten into the carriage at this time, just waiting for the carriage of the palace chief and the couple to come out of the palace, he held Bai Ko's hand and wanted her not to be nervous, but Bai Ko was really not nervous, she just imagined that she would relax at any important banquet that she had attended in her previous life, and it was nothing more than the highest level of specification for this social occasion.

didn't wait long, the carriage of the palace chief came out of the side alley, the two waved to each other through the carriage window, and the guards and soldiers of the two families formed a team and headed for the imperial city.

The guests attending the banquet all came to the Imperial City at about this time, and after entering the gate of the Imperial City, you could see the main road leading to the Imperial Palace with various styles of horse-drawn carriages.

The birthday banquet is in the Changtai Palace where Mrs. Lan Bao lives, which is just a small palace, and Mrs. Lan Bao lives alone, all year round, only her birthday is the most lively.

Gu Yun and the palace chief step-husband and wife were honored guests, and they were sent to the upper seat in the main hall, very close to the main seat, second only to the envoy's seat, and Bai Ko sat in the courtyard, and the two separated, Gu Yun tried to look out from his seat, but Bai Ko couldn't see anywhere.

Bai Ko sitting in the courtyard is much more comfortable, the banquet has not begun, the guests in the courtyard walk around with each other, talking to people everywhere, this relaxed and free atmosphere Bai Ko is like a fish in water, and she is also worthy of being the most famous official maid in the capital, as long as she reports her name, everyone is vying to chat with her.

When the sound of the golden bell sounded inside and outside the main hall, and the dance and music sounded in unison, the saint and Mrs. Lan Bao came out of the dormitory at the back of the main hall to receive the congratulations of the people, and then the palace maids put wine and food in front of everyone, and the guests tasted the wine and presented their gifts in order.

Mrs. Lan Bao's birthday banquet has always been a relaxed atmosphere, the banquet only talks about eating, drinking and merrymaking, and the guests are mainly foreign envoys and representatives of business groups, like Gu Yun and the palace chief were invited to attend because they are rich and noble, well-informed, and can catch the topics thrown by others, and secondly, because of the victory of the polo match, the interesting things that happened in the game alone are the best wine stories.

There was laughter and laughter in the main hall, and the courtyard outside was also harmonious, Bai Ko had no topic for herself, so she listened attentively to others talk about foreign customs and customs, and what specialties they had in their own country suitable for long-distance shipping, looking for new business opportunities.

Ufa Zaghi's national meat sauce is served with the staple food, which is the end of the feast, the guests are stuffed with a stomach of wine and food at this time, but the smell of the meat sauce still makes people can't help but eat their fingers, the imperial chef is carefully boiled in strict accordance with Bai Ko's recipe, and the meat sauce sold in the restaurant of Yirenfang is another unique flavor, which is more in line with the taste of the local people in the capital, and at the same time retains the original basic flavor, and the Ufa Zaji people can still taste the taste from their hometown. The people of Beijing can also accept the national cuisine of this exotic country.

You don't need a nice compliment, just look at how many people are eating it, and even how many people roll up the cake and wipe the meat sauce off the plate to know how delicious it is.

The saint laughed at it.

Seeing that the saint was so happy, Gu Yun's heart sank.

"My dear guests, what do you think of the meat sauce?"

"Dear Majesty, this is really delicious, I think it is even better than what I have eaten in my hometown, you look at my plate, it is so clean that you can't find a trace of meat sauce."

"In the previous meat sauce competition, our country's cooks all lost, and they were a little unconvinced, but now they are convinced."

"I've heard that it's your country's local chef who makes this meat sauce, so I'd love to see it if I have the chance."

The envoys and the merchant representatives spoke every word to me, and the saint's face was full of joy, and his beard was curled.

"It's easy to see her, her bolognese were selected, and as part of the reward, she was invited to the banquet today, and you've all heard her name, but not many people have seen her."

The sage touched his beard and laughed again for a while, and ordered to the palace people around him, "Come on, Xuan Baikou go to the temple." ”

Gu Yun took a sip of wine in a sullen voice, asking Bai Ko to attend the banquet was only part of the reward, what was the rest?!
