Chapter Twenty-Three: The Fifteenth Moon is Full
Just after the afternoon, the Yueguo Mansion was lively, and the traffic was jammed at the gate.
The old lady of the Yue family, Xiao Shi, led her three daughters-in-law to receive the ladies of the heads of the Yue Dynasty families in the inner courtyard. Seeing that each lady had two or three daughters by her side, Xiao had a headache.
Obviously, the queen mother's meaning is very clear, she invites the sons of all the powerful families to choose a son-in-law for that girl. It's good for these people to take this opportunity to bring all the daughters in the family together to have a good time, this is thinking that it is impossible to take up all the young talents in the capital anyway, right? The rest are also the best choices, and it is always not a loss to bring your own daughters!
But there are too many people, and there are many troubles! The three or four seats in the inner house were originally planned to be expanded to more than a dozen seats! Fortunately, there are three daughters-in-law in charge, otherwise it would really tire the Xiao family to death.
The women could get together and talk, but some of the topics were not suitable for the young daughters, so they had to let the five girls who were still sick at home pack up and dress up for the guests.
As for the dome? Xiao Shi doesn't count on it, this girl's straightforward nature is easy to offend people, she only hopes that when the lantern festival is held at night, she can take a fancy to a few young talents, and just fulfill the will of the Queen Mother.
The three daughters-in-law dealt with other official ladies, but the Xiao family had a good relationship with Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Yu, and they got together to drink hot tea and eat snacks and talk about the situation of each family.
In Zilanyuan, Yue Jinxiang took a few sisters and was pestered by all the daughters who came to participate in the Lantern Festival.
The sudden fifteen lantern festival came without warning, and the housewives of the family were suddenly nervous to prepare new clothes for their daughters urgently, and said the main points of the day of the lantern festival. It's just to make friends with Yue Jinxiang, the eldest lady of the Yue family, not to cross the distance, and not to quarrel with the daughters of other families and lose their identity. Always be by this person's side, especially during the Lantern Festival, and don't walk away alone.
In particular, there are a few words of advice on how to answer in front of other family wives, as well as conversations between sisters, and even how to answer carefully when young men are met.
The daughters of these aristocratic families are young, but they are all masters of house fighting, and they are very good! Seeing that they have learned a lot of skills, they immediately understood the importance of today's words from their mothers, after all, it is related to the wealth and glory of their lives, and they can't make mistakes.
Just when Yue Jinxiang's sisters were about to be overwhelmed, someone finally came to spread the news in front of them, asking their daughters' families to eat.
After eating, there was a heavy program, and all the ladies immediately followed behind the ladies of the Yue family in twos and threes.
But there is one thing that they care about the most, that is, the mysterious Princess Loulan. The purpose of today's lantern festival is to choose a son-in-law for this princess! I heard that this princess beat two princesses on the first day she entered the palace, and she was very arrogant and unreasonable! But His Majesty and the Queen Mother didn't stand up for the two princesses, so they let Nahulan Qiong'er go home, and the daughters who couldn't follow their mother into the palace were all curious, how rude this princess was.
At the dinner table, Qiong'er ate tastelessly.
Being stared at by countless pairs of eyes on chopsticks, how can you not eat deliciously, right?
Can you still make people have a good meal?
Qiong'er frowned, glanced at the eyes around her, and looked a little impatient.
The daughters at this table immediately lowered their heads and pulled the polished rice grains in the rice bowl, and their thoughts turned a thousand times. No one expected that this Princess Loulan would have such a charming face, with a bulging chest and a slender figure, and she was not short! Is this really only thirteen years old?
At first, I still had some thoughts about comparing my appearance with the legendary one, but this moment I just looked at the dress and jewelry to find a balance. It's a pity that Qiong'er's mission today is there, and the Xiao family sent Zhen to dress up carefully, how can she be underestimated in these places?
Under the circumstance that everything is inferior, Qiong'er has gained countless complex and incomprehensible eye conditions such as cold eyes, white eyes, red eyes, needle eyes, and no eyes.
The Yue family dressed themselves up as such a group of peacocks, in order to recruit thieves, or to recruit enemies, or to be targets?
The dome with countless enemies bowed his head and ate hard, thinking that his cousin of the beast had returned, and he would still practice martial arts at night! Now I don't have enough to eat, I can only nibble on jerky in the middle of the night, "Another bowl!" Turning around, he naturally handed the rice bowl to Zhai Shi and commanded softly.
Oops, she's a rice bucket!
The women and daughters at more than a dozen tables have been paying attention to the situation here, and finally when Qiong'er asked for the third bowl of rice, everyone showed a relieved expression.
What is this for? Looking at the expressions of 'I am very relieved' around her, Qiong'er blinked.
But when she finished the third bowl of rice, she finally struggled.
Nima, this is only a fist-sized rice bowl, no matter how sincere Zhai's rice is, it is impossible to have more than the bowl of rice he usually uses!
Looking at the excited wolf eyes around her, there was still half a bowl of rice in the first bowl of people, Qiong'er looked at her empty bowl, and vaguely touched her stomach, less than half full
Regarding the question of wanting face or stomach, Qiong'er's attitude was very simple, and Zhu Lip said a very restrained sentence, "Change me a big bowl!" ”
Zhai Shi twitched the corners of his eyes, escaping from the mocking gazes around his own princess, it's too embarrassing, okay? Such a woman who can eat is famous, how can she find her husband's family? Especially in this month towards the capital, there are many rules. Alas, I found a small basin in the kitchen, hesitated for a moment, but changed to a large sea bowl, compared the usual princess's rice to fill it, and found a medium-sized bowl, and flattened it vigorously.
When the moon was on the willow tops, the well-fed and well-drunk Qiong'er was finally released, sighing that tonight's martial arts practice time was a waste.
The Fifteen Lantern Festival, as the name suggests, is full of lanterns of all types and colors. The traditional project of this lantern festival is to guess the riddle, and if you guess correctly, you can pick off the lanterns hanging on the tree, and the person who picks off the most lanterns will have a prize at the end.
However, after playing a few games with wealth fans, Qiong'er's face was embarrassed, didn't he say that Guwen would die?
More than twenty little girls flashed the same eyes in unison, looking at the uneducated princess.
Princess Loulan was a big illiterate !!!!!!
Following the previous rice bucket four titles, Qiong'er has a new vest!
Why are these women so happy?
Looking at the male creatures who walked into the yard one after another, led by their eldest cousin and beast cousin, Qiong'er finally suddenly realized.
Fog grass, don't disturb the broadcast!
