Chapter 68: The Essence of the Snow Feast
When Yuan first entered the door, Qianning still didn't know the purpose of the banquet in the palace, but when she entered the courtyard, she understood when she saw the people in the flower hall. There were not only ladies and ladies in the house, but also several young sons. The ladies were laughing and praising each other's children, but Miss Childe was not so at ease, except for a few who were bold enough to raise their heads and look, they all stood beside their mothers, looking at their noses and noses.
Isn't this a naked look...... Qian Ning's heart was shining, not only a little staggering. Why did the palace do this thing? I caught a glimpse of Song Wan and Song Ting Shi Ran walking over from the flower path, and several young men looked up and immediately understood. I'm afraid that the main people in this banquet are these two county lords.
Sure enough, when several ladies saw Song Wan and Song Ting, they all stood up and greeted her eagerly, and several young ladies also followed. And those sons consciously retreated and kept a polite distance. It's just that although the flower hall is big, there are a lot of people, and no matter how polite you keep a polite distance, you can see people's facial features clearly. It's more straightforward than the usual look. It's just that when I look at the marriage, it's all secretive, especially the men and women involved, and the enlightened parents, that is, the peeks through the screen, are really unheard of and unseen. I don't know if it's Princess An or Prince An's handiwork.
Qian Ning thought of Princess An's soft and weak appearance, and her intuition should not be something that the princess could come up with, so it could only be what the prince who had never met thought of it.
However, if it was really for Song Wan and Song Ting to ask for marriage, why did they bring so many young married women as companions? It's okay for other families to say, with a young lady and a son, like their own family, who only has a daughter and no son of school age, aren't they afraid of competing for the limelight?
Looking back at their family again, Liu and Cui had already walked to Mrs. Cui's Luo, talking greetings, Mengqian, Mengying and others were standing next to them, and Luo's daughter-in-law, Xin Tian, was also talking enthusiastically. Look at a boy standing not far from Luo's, tall and tall, wearing a brocade blue dark pattern robe, with a thick white beast pattern belt tied in the middle of his waist, looking like a handsome boy. It's just that he kept his head down, as if he was embarrassed to be with many young women, and he couldn't see his facial features clearly.
Qian Ning was about to go over to greet Luo and the others, when she heard Song Wan's voice sound: "Sister-in-law Zhao, you are here." ”
Qian Ning turned around in response, and Song Wan had already moved to the front: "Sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for a few days, I miss you very much." After speaking, he took Qian Ning's hand affectionately and whispered.
The other ladies and ladies, some of whom had never seen Qianning, were still a little curious, and followed the people next to them to inquire. After hearing Qianning's identity clearly, the eyes that looked at Qianning were a little different.
Xu was tired of dealing with ladies and ladies, so Song Wan pulled Qian Ning to the corner of the flower hall and found a comfortable chair to sit down. In order to entertain visitors, delicate snacks and teas are placed on every table in the flower hall, even the small table in the corner. Qian Ning and Song Wan were eating dim sum tea and talking considerately.
"These sons and brothers are under the same roof with us, and they all look a little aggrieved." Qian Ning was always curious about the operator of this banquet, and it was not good to ask directly.
Song Wan ate a chestnut and snorted with her nose: "It's not the second brother yet......"
Oh, it's not the princess and the prince, Qian Ning was surprised: "Second son of Song? How could he think of inviting those sons and sons to come? Isn't it ......" Qian Ning glanced at Song Wan and teased: "I'm going to tell you about my family?" ”
Song Wan was mentioned about family affairs, and her face flushed: "What is the matter, but the second brother said it, the sons and sons of these families are all very knowledgeable and characterful, and they will have a bright future in the future, so they must have more contacts." That's where my family affair comes in. ”
I don't admit it, but the shyness on my face and the shyness in my eyes don't mean to look at each other. Even if she didn't admit it, Qian Ning didn't chase after her, but when she thought that these sons and brothers were all called by Song Yi, she praised him for cherishing his sister.
Just thinking about Song Yi, I saw the master walk in, but there were also Song Rong and Princess An, the princes of the palace, walking in front of him.
If it is said that the appearance of the Song Wan sisters just now caused the men in the hall to be moved, then the appearance of Song Rong and Song Yi can make the hearts of the girls in the room ripple.
Song Rong was serious, exuding a cold air all over his body, Song Yi was smiling, looking very amiable and approachable. The two brothers are hot and cold, each with their own style, no wonder the girls can't restrain themselves.
The princess came, first smiled and thanked everyone for taking the time to come to the banquet, and then greeted the ladies and sons from door to door, and when they arrived at the Hou Mansion, Princess An took Mengying with one hand and Mengqian with the other, and looked at Menglian Mengzhi several times, and praised sincerely: "The two ladies are really a great blessing, with such a lovely child, it is really envious." ”
Cui's and Liu's were humble again and again: "It's just a yellow-haired girl, and she can't be on the stage, where can she compare to the county lord Wan and the county lord Ting, slim and elegant, and generous, you can see at a glance that it is the princess who teaches well." ”
Song Wan turned tired of the princess: "As soon as my mother saw other good girls, she left me and my sister behind, it's really sad." ”
As early as when the princess came over, Song Wan and Qian Ning stood next to Cui and Liu.
"You, you're really not ashamed, why don't you just call a few of your aunts a joke." The princess scratched Song Wan's nose, and said scolding words on her lips, but her eyes were full of doting.
After all the salutes, the princess led the ladies and ladies to the greenhouse built by the flower gallery, where the seats had already been prepared and the food was eaten, and there was a small stage opposite, the top of the stage was full of white snow, and the stage was being built in the garden, lined with the snow on the side, which can be described as a double win for watching the play and appreciating the snow.
The princess led the way in the main seat, the ladies sat on the left and right, and the ladies and ladies sat in the lower row. Although Qianning is a married woman, she is young, and she also sat in the front row with Song Wan.
And the sons followed Song Rong and Song Yi to the stands on the other side, saying that it was far away and not close, and it happened that they could see everyone's actions clearly.
With such a good arrangement, King An's Mansion can be described as painstaking. As a bystander, Qian Ning watched the girls secretly look at the men's seat, and the sons also looked at this side from time to time, which was really interesting.
The lady is also paying attention to the situation on both sides, although it is a banquet for the palace and Zhang Luo, but which of the ladies present is not a business? As soon as you look at this formation, you know that you want to see each other. Although the two sons of the palace and the county lord are fragrant buns, there are many monks and few porridges, and none of the people present are from prominent families, so they can't believe that good luck can fall on their heads, so they can't help but focus on some other sons and girls.
And among these people, the most eye-catching are the Cui family's sisters-in-law Cui Liang and Mengqian. First, the family background and identity are excellent, and furthermore, the appearance and figure of these two are also outstanding, and they are neither humble nor arrogant at the banquet, and their eyes are not squinting. Those who have daughters to marry think that Cui Liang is stable and generous, and those who have sons who want to ask for a daughter-in-law feel that Mengqian is quiet and gentle.
After a while, a lady stepped forward to talk to Liu: "Mrs. Zhao is really a great blessing, daughter-in-law and daughter are so lovely." ”
"Sister Ru is quiet and well-behaved, and she looks like a very good child." The daughter of that family happened to sit next to Menglian, watching the play and taking care of the younger Menglian and Mengzhi, and at first glance, she knew that she was considerate of her younger siblings at home. Liu sighed that he had no other sons or nephews, otherwise he would have begged for it, but he could be a good daughter-in-law.
Hearing Liu's kind accosting, the lady only felt that there was a play, and continued: "My Ru'er has a temperament with her brother, and she respects the elders and takes care of the juniors the most on weekdays. He also pulled Liu and told him how his son prepared for the exam, and all aspects of his academic temperament. No matter how dull the Liu family was, he also heard the meaning of marriage, and then looked at the lady carefully, and remembered that Princess An had introduced her before, she was the head of the Chen family in the south of the city, and the master of the Chen family was the doctor of Qin Tianjian at the time. Usually this kind of family is far away from the struggle for power, and the family is not very rich, it should be a simple family, but it is also suitable for Mengqian's indifferent temperament.
Mrs. Chen naturally felt it, and talked to Liu hard, and finally pointed to his own son who was sitting diagonally opposite.
