Chapter 136: Chrysanthemum Feast
Du Changqing glanced at Du Ziyue, and then looked at his son who was so excited that his face was flushed, and immediately understood his sister's abacus, a little helpless, and there was a feeling of relief, he said: "Uncle has no opinion, but the position of Pucun ZĂ i Honglu Temple must be hanging, and if there are things on both sides, Honglu Temple must be the first." â
"Good father, the child knows!" Du Pucun responded loudly, and then couldn't wait to ask Yang Xiaotao, "Cousin, I have been to Deji Hall and Deji Medicinal Restaurant in Shangjun, and I was thinking who opened it, the dishes are novel and have the effect of nourishing the body, and the decoration of the store is divided into several levels, for different guests, and later I learned that my cousin is the owner, so I have always wanted to talk to you......"
Seeing his eldest son like this, Du Changqing said to his wife Guan Shi: "Alas, I really don't know who this character is, when it comes to shops and business, it's like a different person." â
Guan covered his mouth and smiled: "Like his uncle, who else can there be, my younger brother is also like this, but it's a pity that he is not as smart as Pu Cun, so he can only keep it." â
Receiving his brother's color, Du Puxin hurriedly said: "My brother is smart, but his mind is not on the official path, the child will definitely study hard, and he will get good results in the imperial examination next year, and I will be able to protect my brother in business in the future." â
"That's all it can be." Du Changqing couldn't see the small movements of his two sons, but as a father, he naturally wanted his son to become a Chan, but fortunately, Du Puxin was very sensible, which made him a lot less angry with Du Pucun.
Yang Xiaotao and Du Pucun didn't have a few words to chat, when they heard Xiao Shunzi, who was guarding outside, whispering and reminding that the time was almost up.
Today's feast is preceded by sacrifices to the ancestors to thank the gods and ancestors for their kindness. This event was a must for all the courtiers of the clan.
Yang Xiaotao and Yang Zhengnan followed behind Du Ziyue, at the forefront of the clan, with thorns in their backs. If the gaze can become substance, then they have become cave people.
Du Ziyue and Yang Zhengnan were unmoved, they had long been accustomed to this situation. Anyway, no matter where they are ranked, they can't meet everyone's needs, so it's better to show their favor in a high-profile manner, and let those who have bad intentions go back and weigh it well. The people of the Du family are not something they can mess with casually.
It wasn't until noon that the feast officially began.
With the theme of chrysanthemums, chrysanthemum wine, chrysanthemum pine nut fish, chrysanthemum lotus seed soup. Chrysanthemum pear tea and other dishes have been served to the table by the maid one after another, it seems that it is very exquisitely made, but as soon as you enter it, cough cough, although it is not unpalatable, but it is definitely not delicious to touch.
Banquet, there is no looking for ballast, how can it be called a banquet, no, a discordant voice appeared. "The Lord of the Moon Peach is really hard to see, the princess of Nangong who is a good person in this palace is a first-class princess, and I have never seen the Lord of the Moon Peach come to see one or two."
Because Du Ziyue wanted to help King Ping, Yang Xiaotao's seat was arranged under them, so they also heard Princess Nangong's provocation clearly.
Before Yang Xiaotao could speak, Du Ziyue said loudly: "My little peach is really pitiful, she has been wandering since she was a child, and she finally came back, but she won't stay long before she will marry in Wei to marry." Being looked down upon like this, the Wei side may think that we don't pay much attention to them, King Ping, this matter must not be left like this. â
Du Ziyue's voice fell. Princess Nangong's expression froze suddenly, according to her identity, she is the aunt and grandmother of King Ping, she is just showing off her identity, by the way, this new county lord is not favored, how could she have thought that she would be raised to such a height.
"Then it's better to mention the princess of Yuetao as the princess of Zhengyipin. The title turned back and let the Ministry of Rites think about it. King Ping felt that he had thought of a good way, and turned his head to Du Ziyue with a smile and asked for praise.
was dismissed in public, and Princess Nangong's face became even paler, but King Ping was sober-minded, and he was mentioning Yang Xiaotao's position, not demoting her.
King Ping said this, but he couldn't really bear it like this, Yang Xiaotao and Du Ziyue glanced at each other, turned sideways and said to King Ping: "Thank you King Ping for your grace, but it is useless, and please take back King Ping's life." â
King Ping, who thought he had come up with a wonderful solution, was a little unhappy after being rejected by Yang Xiaotao, Du Ziyue gave him a chrysanthemum cake made by Hong Niang's own cooking, "King Ping tastes this, it is made according to your taste." â
The child's love is coming, saying that he is leaving, and his attention is immediately attracted by eating, the chrysanthemum cake melts in his mouth, and the sweetness is mixed with the fragrance of chrysanthemums, and King Ping's eyes lit up, and in a blink of an eye, a small plate of chrysanthemum cake was wiped out.
Yang Xiaotao was not really mentioned as the princess of Zhengyipin, but everyone present knew a little bit that the lord of Yuetao was favored, and he wanted to stammer, not provoke.
Then it's time for the ladies to show their talents, that is, blind dates in disguise, such a banquet is the time to look at the future daughter-in-law openly, which woman does not have a child of the right age to marry in the family, even if it is not her own son, there must be among various relatives and friends. If you can successfully be a matchmaker, the relationship between several companies will go to a higher level.
Yang Xiaotao has already engaged in a family affair, so she doesn't plan to be too much of a showman, so she silently drew the scene in front of her on the side, with the inscription King Jinping in the fourth year of the ninth month of September.
Mixed with modern painting style, Yang Xiaotao used a special pencil to completely present the whole scene with a few strokes, and then slowly refined it little by little, the snacks and drinks on the table, and everyone's faces, all jumped out on the paper.
The more you draw, the longer the scroll gets, and the aster allows you to align the tables side by side and connect them so that the paper can be spread out.
Yang Xiaotao's movement attracted everyone's attention.
"Yikes! Sister, you see it's the two of us! A little girl found her figure in the painting and pointed out excitedly.
"Sister Mu, look, this is when you just danced, and the county lord actually drew it!" Mu Le Die had already discovered that her dancing was recorded, and she was like a happy little butterfly in the painting, just like her name, and she couldn't say anything excited.
Yang Xiaotao vividly recorded the scene of the chrysanthemum banquet in the form of a long scroll and scattered perspective composition, and all the women gathered around and found themselves in the painting one after another.
At the end of the painting, Yang Xiaotao added herself who had worked hard to paint. She put down her brush, only to feel that her shoulders were completely stiff, but it was worth it, "Okay, let's go back and deepen the details and add a little color, and it's done." â
