Chapter 413
After returning from the palace, Mrs. Hou had a very friendly attitude towards Fu Jun for several days, and also rewarded Fu Jun with two rulers, both of which were made everywhere brocade, one of which was a dark gold embroidered peony all over the place, and the embroidered flower was a very rare ink-colored peony, and the big flower suppressed the brightness of the fabric itself.
Fu Jun also liked this material very much, so he set aside a part of it to prepare himself to make a pair of big-sleeved dresses, and the rest of the material was distributed to the sisters in each room.
As for Fu Qi, because he was too young to wear such materials, Fu Jun sent a mercerized silk past. This is something that Fu Qi has been thinking about for a long time, and the little girl smiled with joy when she received the gift, and even forgot to hide the missing front teeth.
Time passes through these trivial matters, and in a flash, November will come to an end.
The annual Fuyuan Marquis Mansion Flower Viewing Banquet was suspended this year due to one incident.
This matter is not a trivial matter, but a noble royal prince, this year is unprecedentedly preparing to hold a plum banquet.
When the three-color gold flower paper printed with the unique dragon and phoenix seal of the Han Dynasty was sent to the various prefectures, the entire nobles in Beijing heard the wind and moved, and it was difficult to find a note in Jinling City for a while. There was a boom in making new clothes and making jewelry in the deep houses of the high gates, and several gold and silver jewelry shops on Gulou Street were called, and the silk and satin shops on Suzaku Street were doing hot business.
The plum blossom banquet of the Pyeongchang county lord after a full 20 years of rest was reopened this year!
The lord of Pyeongchang is the youngest daughter of King Yong. After the first emperor ascended the throne, King Yong, who was the third brother of the first emperor, went to the fief. And the youngest son and daughter he gave up stayed in Beijing and became a proton.
Later, King Lao Yong died in a foreign land, and his son King Cheng'an died soon after due to his frail and illness, and the lord of Pyeongchang remained alone in Beijing.
The first emperor was also very tolerant to this county lord, even closer than his own daughter. When the county lord of Pyeongchang was seventeen years old, the first emperor personally recruited a young general for her to be the county horse, and the two were quite affectionate.
Later, several princesses under the knee of the first emperor died one after another, and the first emperor favored the lord of Pyeongchang even more. It's really responsive. Even the county lord's mansion was built according to the regulations of the princess's mansion, and its luxury and luxury surpassed the capital, and no one could match it.
Relying on the favor of the first emperor, the county lord of Pyeongchang was very arrogant when he was young. Although he didn't do the prancing horse on the streets and turned a blind eye to people's lives. In the whole capital, it is also the master who walks sideways. She's also a boisterous person. The plum blossom banquet in the middle of winter every year can be called the highest aristocratic banquet in Beijing, and it once led a trend.
However, many years ago, the county horse passed away due to illness. The county lord of Pyeongchang collected his clothes and unloaded the cui hairpin, and since then he has lived a simple life, and he easily does not leave the county lord's mansion, and he has fallen silent in Beijing, which is 20 years.
The last time she appeared was at Fu Jia's ceremony. No one expected that she would reopen the plum banquet this year and reproduce the royal grandeur of the year.
Fu Jun looked at the delicate flower note in his hand, and the dark fragrance of the plum blossoms on the first floor on the flower note floated from time to time on the tip of his nose, with a light smile on his face, but he was slandering in his heart: This is almost the New Year, and the lord of Pyeongchang wants to come to join in the fun at this time, and what kind of flower banquet is really annoying.
Fu Jun already had a sense of rejection for all the banquets.
She has participated in several large-scale banquets, except for the one when she was a child who avoided trouble due to the rain, the remaining few times she did not have a safe life, and even the birthday banquet held by the Pingnan Hou Mansion itself, there was such a thing as Fu Ke, which is really a headache to think about.
However, the attitudes of several other girls in the mansion towards this flower banquet were completely different from Fu Jun's.
Even Fu Ke, who has always been alone, is looking forward to this banquet. Fu Yao rarely participated in the banquet, and even picked out jewelry and cut new clothes early, compared to the excitement in those courtyards, Fu Jun was a little too quiet here.
The banquet in the county lord's mansion is not easy to push with a sentence of "sick". Let's see what Mrs. Hou means, Fu Jun must show up this time. After all, the girls in the house are the most eye-catching, and she is the top of the green list, and she is a state banquet competition, and she was summoned into the palace by the Queen Mother to speak, which can be described as the limelight. No matter how unhappy Mrs. Hou is, she has to consider the face of the entire Hou Mansion.
With such a girl here, the entire Hou Mansion is also glorious. Therefore, Fu Jun's banquet is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed.
Fu Jun is indispensable, but Shen's mother and Shi Jiang are busy, opening the box to find clothes, and moving out the whole box of jewelry, making sure to dress Fu Jun up beautifully in order to appear at the flower banquet.
Shen's mother has heard that the flower banquet of the lord of Pingchang has been said to be "little Shangyuan" in the market, which means that the flower banquet is similar to the Shangyuan Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year. And the wives and ladies of various provinces will also take the opportunity to look at each other, and there are not a few people who have achieved a good marriage at the banquet in previous years, otherwise the nobles in the capital will not be so big.
Fu Jun is also thirteen years old this year, and Shen's mother feels that such an opportunity to pull her own girl out for others to see more, maybe she can get a good marriage. Therefore, on top of Fu Jun's outing, Shen's mother has put a lot of effort into it.
At the same time, the people in the various courtyards who were busy with the flower banquet were also preparing intensively at this time. said that in the Yunyun Building, Fu Ke's two big girls, Lianqing and Mei Hong, went in and out all day long, helping Fu Ke to look at the clothes for a while, and taking jewelry for her for a while, and even Mama Fan was also turned around.
On this day, when the lantern was in hand, Fu Ke saw that everything was done, so he took Lianqing and a small jade toad lantern with plain yarn and glass lamps to Qinghu Villa to talk to Zheng.
Zheng had just eaten a cup of bird's nest and was walking around the room to eat, when he heard the little maid outside say, "The five girls are here." When Zheng heard this, his spirits perked up, and he said, "Ke'er, come in quickly." At the same time, he glanced at Mama Fan again.
Mama Fan waved her hand and took everyone out of the room.
At this time, Fu Ke had also entered the house, and she crossed the threshold and commanded outside: "You stay outside, don't let people in." ”
Lian Qing, who was carrying the lantern, hurriedly answered yes, put out the fire in the lantern, moved Zhang Xiaozi from the left, and guarded the door with Mama Fan.
After Fu Ke entered the house, Fang was about to squat down to Zheng, and Zheng said with a smile on his face: "Get up quickly, come and sit here with your mother." As he spoke, he patted a brocade stool beside him.
Fu Ke sat down on the stool, and Zheng handed her another cup of tea, and said softly: "My son has worked hard for the past two days, but have you ever been tired?" ”
A trace of warmth flashed between Fu Ke's low eyebrows, and he said in a low voice: "My daughter is not tired." ”
Zheng pulled her closer and asked softly, "Are you all arranged?" ”
"Yes, it's all arranged, my mother can rest assured." Fu Ke also lowered his voice and said: "It's the place Jiang Ji found for me, there is a teahouse on Xuanwu Street, which is a very exquisite place, and it is on the street, so I don't think the fourth sister will be suspicious." ”
When Zheng heard this, he said, "That's very good. It's just that you can inquire about the details of this Jiang Xi? (To be continued.) )
