Chapter 43: The Banquet

After entering the eldest princess's mansion, Lin Wanjin and other female dependents were led to the inner courtyard, and it was convenient for Lin Boyou and the others to be separated at the second gate.

When they arrived at the banquet hall, some people had already arrived, Lin Wanjin and others followed behind Xiao Su and Li, and now that the eldest princess had not arrived, Xiao Su naturally did not return to the capital for a long time, and this was the first time she went out to the banquet after returning to Beijing.

Li specially introduced her to many people, all of whom were the wives of each family, Xiao Su looked at Li gratefully, and smiled and chatted with those familiar wives along the way.

When Lin Wanjin and the others entered the banquet hall, they were sent by the Li family to play by themselves. Lin Wanqiong and others naturally have little sisters in Beijing, and they also met familiar sisters at this time, and everyone got together to joke. At this time, Lin Wanqiong did not ignore the others, although she was not too enthusiastic, but she would still introduce what should be introduced.

Lin Wanjin didn't know any of these people, she just smiled and watched, everyone was talking in a whisper, although the voice was not very loud, but no matter how big a banquet hall was, there were more people, and the voice would naturally be louder. Moreover, I don't know if it's for the sake of keeping warm, but it's tightly covered, and when there are more people, it feels very stuffy.

"Miss Seven, Mrs. called you over." Suddenly, a familiar voice came from her ears, and Lin Wanjin looked up and saw that it was Begonia.

Lin Wanjin turned her head to look at Xiao Su's side, only to see that she was looking at herself, Lin Wanjin pulled her lips and smiled, stood up, but her body was suddenly stunned, and Xiao Su's was sitting next to ...... Mrs. Shen.

When did she come? Lin Wanjin looked to the side, but there was no person she thought of, it seemed that it was only Mrs. Shen.

Lin Wanqiong and the others were chatting happily with everyone at this time, Lin Wanjin whispered to Lin Wanqi, and then walked to Xiao Su's place. At this time, she was sitting alone with Mrs. Shen and laughing, "Mother, Mrs. Shen." Smiled and saluted Mrs. Shen, Lin Wanjin still had a very good impression of Mrs. Shen.

"Hey, Jin'er, it's good to call your aunt, Mrs. Shen is called Keshengfen." When Mrs. Shen saw Lin Wanjin, the smile on her face deepened, and she reached out to pull Lin Wanjin up.

"Aunt Shen." Lin Wanjin glanced at Xiao Su and got her chin, and then Fu Li changed her words.

Mrs. Shen laughed even deeper when she heard this, and pulled Lin Wanjin to ask her what she usually does. Lin Wanjin is always answering, and her thinking is clear and clear, which is good in Mrs. Shen's opinion.

And not long after Lin Wanjin saw Mrs. Shen here, Xiao Su let Lin Wanjin leave, and Lin Wanjin returned to her seat, only then did she realize that Xiao Su's expression just now was much better than before. Is it because there are familiar people talking to you, so you feel a lot more relaxed?

"This thing, it's really strange that my sister didn't do a good job, I knew it would make my sister so worried, my sister should have sued you earlier." Mrs. Shen Xiao took Xiao Su's hand and said with annoyance.

"If it weren't for my sister's help, my sister might not have been able to come here. Sister, don't say that again, this is just our superfluous conjecture, and now that I think about it, it won't be our family's turn. Xiao Su smiled, after some explanation from Mrs. Shen just now, she knew that the original invitation was really asked for by Mrs. Shen. Because he was worried that his family might not be able to come, he went to the eldest princess to ask for an invitation.

Hearing this, Xiao Su's heart could be regarded as a stone, and he was no longer worried.

"Although I don't have much contact with my sister, I know that you will not kill the person who wants to send her daughter there." Mrs. Shen smiled lightly, pointed upwards with her hand, and whispered to Xiao Su.

"My sister still understands me." Xiao Su pursed his lips and smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

At this time, there was a noise at the door, and they turned their heads to see that it was the eldest princess.

Lin Wanjin also stood up with everyone, this was the first time she had seen the eldest princess, she didn't look like a woman who was already forty years old, the years didn't seem to have left any marks on her face, and she looked like she was only in her twenties and thirties.

The appearance of the eldest princess has a gentle and touching charm, giving people a very kind and gentle feeling, and her demeanor is elegant, as if every step and every action is a standard model, no wonder most women in Beijing take her as a standard.

Behind the eldest princess was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Zhou Yu, and Lin Wanjin found out that the eldest princess was followed by several men with extraordinary bearing.

Everyone in the hall hurriedly knelt down to salute, and some unmarried women blushed and bowed their heads, but secretly raised their eyes to look. Lin Wanjin pursed her lips and snickered, and when Lin Wanqi next to her noticed her movements, she couldn't help but feel anxious, and quietly poked her, signaling her to be careful not to be discovered.

Lin Wanjin hurriedly restrained the smile on her face and lowered her head stiffly, but in this ancient world, when imperial power was supreme in ancient times, kneeling on the ground was really a common thing, helpless!

The folk customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty are quite open, and it is not uncommon for men and women to greet each other at this kind of banquet, not to mention this banquet of the eldest princess.

After everyone had seen the salute, the men left, and the hall was relieved, and everyone spoke louder.

"Okay, let's all stop bored here, let's all go out for a walk." The eldest princess spoke, and everyone naturally wanted to follow, and the name of the banquet every year is the same, appreciating plums.

In the whole capital, who doesn't know that the plum blossoms in the eldest princess's mansion are the most beautiful, and they are extremely beautiful to come to enjoy the plum blossoms at this time of year.

Lin Wanjin also wanted to go and see, a large piece of Merlin, which she had never seen before.

The eldest princess Zhou Jing did not let them and the young people follow, but asked the maids to lead them to Merlin. This is also a major feature of the banquet in the eldest princess's mansion, you can move freely, and you don't have to worry about meeting men in the inner courtyard.

The day chosen by the eldest princess is really good, it has just snowed, and Merlin is the most beautiful time, just when the snow has stopped again. Lin Wanjin followed everyone all the way, she had no intention of chatting with them, she was already attracted by the beauty of this piece of merlin, and looked up as she walked.

Suddenly feeling that there was silence around her, Lin Wanjin looked down at the surroundings and frowned, even the maid who led the way was gone, what was going on? She's still a child, okay, don't bring such an irresponsible one.

The scenery is the same all around, Lin Wanjin wanted to go back to the way she came, but found that the road she came from had disappeared, Lin Wanjin looked up at the sky, and there were no snowflakes falling, but the wind blew the snow on the plum tree, and it fell on the ground to cover the road.

"Anyone?" There was silence all around, no one responded, Lin Wanjin pursed her lips, and chose a direction to go forward, if she sensed it well, this should be the direction she came, as long as she walked in this direction, probably the route would not be wrong.
