Chapter 209: Impropriety
King Mingjun glanced at himself, glanced at King Yijun, and asked, "What's wrong with my posture?" β
King Yijun walked to him, the two stood side by side, he patted King Mingjun's chest with the jade fan in his hand, pointed to the little guy at the door and said, "That's the example." β
The little servant greeted the guests, hunched over with a smile on his face.
King Mingjun glanced at King Yijun and said, "Are you deliberately trying to destroy the banquet of the Marquis of Anding?" β
If he grovels to greet guests, most of the guests will probably be frightened, and they may not even be able to walk.
King Yijun laughed a few times and asked, "How do you need me to help you?" β
King Mingjun stroked his forehead and said, "If you don't help me, I'll thank God." β
After speaking, he pushed King Yijun to go to the Hou Mansion and arranged for the little servant to lead the way.
King Yijun entered the Hou Mansion with Chu Bei.
When the two entered the inner courtyard, they happened to meet Qingyun head-on.
Qingyun's cheeks were dyed a little rouge, as delicate as a peach blossom in March, she was slightly blessed and saluted the two.
Chu Bei nodded lightly, which was considered a return gift.
King Yijun looked at Qingyun with a smile and said, "The king of this county and Miss Mu San are also very friendly, the Hou Mansion needs help, you don't want me, but you think about the king of Mingjun who just returned to Beijing, could it be that he is more attractive than the king of this county?" β
Qingyun looked at him and said with a smile, "If King Yijun hadn't been punished for sweeping the stables, I would definitely be the first to think of you, but King Mingjun couldn't participate in the banquet project, so I'm very optimistic about you." β
King Yijun was stunned for a moment, then laughed, patted Chu Bei and asked, "What about him?" β
Qingyun shook her head, "It's more appropriate for him to sit there and watch." β
King Yijun tightened his face and nodded thoughtfully, "That's it, I think so too." β
With just a little prize, how did he get into Chubei's eyes?
In fact, he never thought that Chu Bei would come, in the end, it was the third girl Mu. The face is big enough.
Qingyun was also busy greeting the guests, and asked the little maid to lead King Yijun and Chu Bei to the banquet table.
At this time, a lot of guests came.
Everyone's ladies, the young master of the family, and the civil and military officials, in front of the Hou Mansion. The door is like a city, noisy and lively.
Some ladies asked Mu Qingrou and said with a smile, "The Hou Mansion banquet is so grand, is it the same as the Peach Blossom Banquet?" β
Mu Qingrou smiled, "Naturally, it's different. β
Although she didn't know what to play at the banquet. However, there are no peach blossoms in the Hou Mansion, and there is nothing to prepare, so that everyone can look for it so that they can determine what to perform.
"Then what are you playing at the banquet in the Hou Mansion, we are all curious, can you reveal one or two first?" A lady asked with a pair of eager eyes.
In that way, the person who asked couldn't bear to refuse.
But Mu Qingrou couldn't bear it, because she really didn't know, and in order to hide that she didn't know, she replied. "To keep it mysterious, I can't say it."
The ladies pursed their lips, and said in their hearts: Aren't you just going to hold a banquet, they are all here to save face, and they are still hiding, even if they reveal a little, it's good to hide it so tightly, if it doesn't do well for a while, she will definitely make fun of it!
Over there, another lady asked. "By the way, the third girl of the Hou Mansion wrote an invitation to invite the emperor to come to the banquet, why is she so bold, how did she invite the emperor?"
Mu Qingrou's heart was dark. said with a smile on her face, "My third sister has always been bold, but the other sisters in the Hou Mansion are not small, and the matter of sending an invitation to invite the emperor to come is a matter of importance, which one of her can make up her mind." It was a decision we made together, the invitation is the same as the general invitation, you also know, my father went back to Beijing on a mission, and he was favored by the emperor, and the emperor would come to the Hou Mansion to give the Hou Mansion and my father face. β
When Mu Qingrou said this, the magpie happened to pass by, and when she heard this, she stuck out her tongue.
It's really shameless, the third girl sent an invitation to invite the emperor to come to this matter, only said in front of the cousin, the cousin girl was a girl is laughing, and the old lady is even the father-in-law who came to pass the word to know, that is, at that moment, she still looked incredulous.
The fifth girl was afraid that people would praise the third girl, so she took this matter on herself, and her face was thick with the city wall.
Mu Qingrou said nothing, and the magpie became angry.
What made her even more angry was still behind, and those ladies nodded after listening to Mu Qingrou's words.
They believed what Mu Qingrou said, or rather, they didn't believe that Qingyun had so much courage to invite the emperor to come to the Hou Mansion to participate in the banquet, let alone that she had such a big face in the emperor.
They firmly believe that the emperor will come to the Hou Mansion because of the Hou Ye.
Not only did everyone think so, but also those civil and military ministers who came to the banquet.
No, when Hou Ye greeted them, all the faces that smiled at Hou Ye bloomed, congratulations to Hou Ye for winning the emperor's favor.
Hou Ye listened to a few more words, and his face burned hotly.
The emperor will come to the Hou Mansion, and he will see Qingyun's face, not his, he explained, why no one believes it, and everyone says that he is modest.
He's telling the truth, okay?
explained a few times, but no one believed it at all, and Hou Ye didn't bother to explain.
Hou Ye didn't explain, people took him as a default, and he was more respectful to Hou Ye.
The guests arrived at the Hou Mansion one after another, and Qingyun didn't know many people, plus there were really many people who greeted the guests.
There is no need for Mu Qianjiao and them to help, after they came, they automatically and consciously helped, as if the Hou Mansion was the Shangshu Mansion.
Zhou Ziting led the guests over, Mu Qingrou walked over, pulled her aside with a smile, and then asked with a cold face, "Why did you invite the people from the Weibei Hou Mansion too?!" Don't you know my entanglement with her? β
Zhou Ziting looked at her and said, "I know that you have a conflict with Zheng Shirou of the Weibei Hou Mansion, and you don't like each other, but the third cousin wants to invite, and the banquet is hosted by her, I just do what I am told, if you are not happy, go and ask the third cousin." β
Saying that, Zhou Ziting also pointed out Qingyun to Mu Qingrou.
Mu Qingrou felt a touch of anger in her heart, compared to Zheng Shirou of Weibei Hou Mansion, she saw that Qingyun was not pleasing to the eye.
She looked at Zhou Ziting and said, "I'll find a way to make Zheng Shirou ugly for a while." β
Zhou Ziting shrugged and said, "The banquet in the Hou Mansion is different from the past, and it is impossible to embarrass anyone. β
Mu Qingrou twisted her eyebrows and looked at Zhou Ziting.
Zhou Ziting said, "I still have something to do, the fifth cousin can play by herself." β
With that, she smiled and walked away.
Mu Qing's soft stomp.
Mu Qingzhi came over and said, "Fifth sister, this banquet seems to be really good and orderly. Our garden can accommodate so many guests, and the maid can shuttle freely, not crowded at all, just a banquet table. It has been praised by many ministers and noble ladies, and after a while, Ziting's cousin and Ruoyao County Lord presided over the banquet, and Ruoyao County Lord will forget it, she will be with King Ming. Ziting's cousin is a cousin, and there is a banquet in the Hou Mansion, but no one is a serious master of our Hou Mansion, so it doesn't sound like a word. β
Mu Qingrou looked at Zhou Ziting's posture like the concubine of the Hou Mansion, and she became angry when she looked at it.
Hou Mansion banquet, it is appropriate for her to preside over it.
Thinking about it, Mu Qingrou walked towards Zhou Ziting.
After walking a few steps, she turned around again and went to find the eldest lady.
Mu Qingrou mentioned her thoughts to the eldest lady, and the eldest lady also felt that it was inappropriate for Zhou Ziting to preside over the banquet. asked the maid to find Zhou Ziting.
Zhou Ziting looked at the eldest lady and asked with a smile, "Uncle, do you have something to do with me?" β
The eldest lady nodded her head, "Just before your lady said that it was not the Hou Mansion girl who presided over the banquet, there was something wrong, I thought about it again and again, and decided to hand over the banquet to Qingrou to preside, what she needs to do in a while." You sue her. β
Hearing what the eldest lady said, the smile on Zhou Ziting's face stiffened.
Last time, the eldest lady and mother and daughter robbed her of the opportunity to go to the Xuanwang Mansion to participate in the peach blossom banquet, and now they are going to grab the support of the Hou Mansion banquet?
Zhou Ziting is not a soft persimmon. She looked at the eldest lady and said with a smile, "The banquet of the Hou Mansion was organized by the third cousin, and she thinks I am suitable to be the host, and I will listen to her." If the third cousin agrees with the fifth cousin, Ziting has no opinion. β
She kicked the problem to Qingyun.
She knew that Qingyun would not agree, originally Mu Qingrou was out of the yard, she was not happy, how could she allow the banquet she worked so hard to organize, let Mu Qingrou pick up the cheap?
Saying that, she asked the maid to invite Qingyun to come.
Qingyun listened to the maid's advice, immediately smiled coldly, and let them out of the yard, they had already opened the net, they were fine, and kicked their noses in the face.
She was so busy that she didn't have time to talk to the eldest lady, so she only instructed the maid, "Tell Miss SΓΉ, I have full authority to decide the banquet, and I don't have to pay attention to anything else except what I order." β
The maid grinned and truthfully conveyed Qingyun's words to Zhou Ziting,
Zhou Ziting smiled apologetically at the eldest lady and said, "Auntie, let's go chat with your lady, it is estimated that in a while, the emperor will come, Ziting will be busy, otherwise the third cousin will be blamed for a while, and Ziting will not be able to afford it." β
After saying that, she also retired.
When he turned around, the smile on his face faded and he snorted heavily.
Seeing Zhou Ziting leaving, Mu Qingrou stomped her feet a little, "Mother, you are the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, but now you can't be the master at all, and even one of her cousins dares to bully you!" β
The eldest lady clenched her teeth and clenched her fists, "After the banquet, I'll clean up one by one!" β
Mu Qingsoft pouted, and waited until after the banquet, she couldn't wait now.
Just thinking about it, the maid over there ran over and said, "Third girl, the emperor is here!" β
Mu Qingrou was stunned when she heard this, "The emperor is here so soon?" β
Qingyun was also shocked, she didn't expect the emperor to come so early, it seems that the ministers have not arrived.
Which banquet, the emperor is not the latest.
Those ministers sat there, a little frightened, and said, "Fortunately, I came one step earlier, otherwise the emperor would have arrived, and we would not have arrived ......." β
A lady smiled and said, "When the emperor arrives, he will naturally have a banquet first, is it possible to wait for everyone to arrive and then have a banquet?" β
The minister chuckled, "That being said, it's not always appropriate. β
The emperor was invited by Qingyun, and when he arrived, Qingyun naturally had to go to the gate to greet him.
The emperor came to the Hou Mansion, the honor guard was grand, the bright yellow car was driving, and the golden dragon wanted to fly.
Grandpa Sun helped the emperor down, and the maid over there helped the queen to come.
Hou Ye took the lead in kneeling, took the Hou Mansion up and down, and asked the emperor for peace.
The emperor smiled, "Let's all be even." β
When everyone got up, the emperor looked at Qingyun and said, "I heard that you auctioned off ten banquet invitations and raised 60,000 taels of silver for disaster relief?" β
Qingyun nodded.
The emperor smiled, "It's kind-hearted, Rao is so, if the banquet is not good, I will punish you." β
Qingyun is embarrassed.
Why does she think that the reason why the emperor agreed to come to the banquet is not to see how fun the banquet is, but to find an opportunity to beat her board?
For a while, the emperor won't pick a bone in the egg, so he must punish her, right?
The Hou Ye led the emperor into the palace.
When the emperor walked away, several ministers came over with invitations, and there were beads of sweat on their heads.
When Mr. Zhou saw it, he said, "A few adults will follow me on another road, but the emperor can reach the banquet table first." β
Several ministers and wives were grateful.
When the emperor arrived at the banquet table, everyone and the young master of the family were seated.
One by one, they stood up and said hello to the emperor.
The emperor said with a smile, "This banquet venue is good, Rao is palace banquet can't be compared, the queen has to learn from Miss Mu San." β
When the queen heard this, she was not angry, but smiled, "It's really good, the concubine still wants to hold another banquet in the palace in the future, and the concubine can find the third girl to help." β
