Chapter 772: Yangcheng Banquet (1)

On this day, the first thing the men asked was: Brother Tai has received an invitation from King An's Mansion.

Those who received it naturally pretended to be calm, and said with a smile that they had received it.

Those who didn't receive it not only changed their faces, but quickly ran home to ask if they had received the post at this time, and if they received it, they were relieved, and if they didn't receive it, they were restless at home and waiting.

When the ladies met, they said some things about dressing up, "Three days later, I went to the banquet of King An's mansion, I don't know what to wear, this princess is from Beijing, she has seen the world, if she doesn't wear it well, I'm afraid that the princess will fall into the country!" ”

"That's right, but I'm a little nervous at this time, so it's appropriate to hurry up and make some clothes if you have more money!"

"Who says it's not, my new head face will be retrieved in a few days, hey, I'm really in a hurry to die!"

These ladies all said so, but none of these people knew the news that King An and his wife were coming very early.

From that time they knew that there would be such a thing, and the more shrewd women had already begun to prepare, and at this time they were only saying modest things and testing each other.

Sure enough, on the day of the banquet, the women who didn't have any clothes to wear didn't see any of them wearing undignified, and none of them had no jewelry on their heads and bodies.

Speaking of which, this is the first time Ruoyun has presided over this kind of banquet, in the past, when she was in the capital, there were many noble ladies with higher status than her, and she had never done a new daughter-in-law. At most, it's to participate.

But here, the lady with the highest status is the prefect Yezhong's wife, she is a lady of the second grade, and she is still several levels away from Ruoyun, the super princess.

Therefore, although it is a banquet held by Ruoyun, she does not need to go out to welcome guests like the general host, after all, she is now the daughter-in-law of the royal family, as the saying goes, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, and the rules that should be there should not be sloppy at all.

In place of Ruoyun to welcome guests, there are a few grandmothers who have seen the world brought from the capital, and there is also the lady Ding who lives leisurely in the shopkeeper.

This Ding family was also born in a family of cultivators. Her father was a local talent. Therefore, he can also read and write, and he is naturally knowledgeable.

A few years ago, because of the family life, the body was broken, and in the past few years, because Song Di has been the shopkeeper of the leisurely house, the family life has improved. I bought someone to wait. I slowly raised it. The body is a little tougher.

Ruoyun also felt that these people she brought from the capital didn't know these ladies in Yangcheng, the Ding family had lived here for generations, and she had been entertaining with her husband in the past few years. should be familiar with these people, so he mentioned it to Song Di and wanted her to help.

Of course Song Di was happy, after all, he couldn't come into the palace all the time as a foreign man, and if her wife could walk around in front of the princess from time to time, it would naturally be good for him.

Ding also knew that today's event was a big event, and he had taken good care of his spirit a few days ago, just so that he could do a good job for the princess today.

She stood in front of the door with the grandmother of the palace, and when the carriage of the lady came from afar, she would ask what the identity of the grandmother was.

The grandmother of the palace is average, she mentions it a little, and she will know how to deal with it, those people see the rules and demeanor of the palace grandmother, and when they see that the other party already knows their identity, they are also secretly frightened, and they have more respect for this princess who has never met before.

As for the male guests, Chu Ziheng naturally sent someone to deal with it, Chu Ziheng knew much more about these officials than Ruoyun, and before he left Beijing, the information of these people was placed in his study.

Today, Tian'er has become the main force to welcome guests, after all, Chu Ziheng's high status does not need to welcome guests, although Tian'er's status as the prince of Dingguo is not low, but in the end he is still a child.

Song Di was naturally also arrested, and with Tian'er and the housekeeper in the house welcoming guests at the door, he reminded Tian'er in his ears from time to time.

Don't look at it, he was arrested, and because of this banquet, Song Di has been busy for the past three days, and he doesn't have a few hours to sleep well every day, but he is happy in his heart.

Being able to hand over things to him is what the prince and the princess value him, and being able to help greet guests at the gate of the palace is a great dignity, and when these people in the officialdom see each other in the future, he won't give him three more points of face-

On the other hand, Ruoyun did not wait for these guests in the banquet hall here, don't look at the busy welcoming guests outside, but at this time she was leisurely drinking tea and reading books in the room.

It's not that she neglects the guests, it's just because of her high status, this first meeting, everyone else comes to see her, and there is no rule for her to wait for others, so she only waits for people to arrive before she can appear in front of everyone.

If Yun thinks while drinking tea, no wonder everyone wants to get more power, the more power the more free capital there is.

For example, today, those ladies must have gotten up early in the morning, served their old men and children, and then dressed up and cheered up to attend her banquet, but she, the main master, only got up a little earlier than usual, and when those ladies were socializing outside, she could still rest in the house, because she was of high status and great power.

"Princess, just now Mrs. Song sent someone to spread the word that everyone has arrived, and almost all the people who took the post have arrived!" Meng Xiang came in and said.

"Well, what time is it?" Ruoyun put down the book and asked.

Meng Xiang looked at the time outside, and replied, "Princess, it's about three o'clock." ”

Ruoyun calculated that it was almost ten o'clock in the morning, and it was not early, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's change clothes, we should also go out to meet guests!" ”

Dong Hong on the side hurriedly responded, and then took a few girls to put on the clothes that Ruoyun had prepared a long time ago.

It is said that the first time I met with the lady of Yangcheng today, Ruoyun should wear the princess's clothes according to the makeup, but Ruoyun thought about it and thought. If you wear the princess's clothes, it will inevitably give people a sense of distance, and there is a feeling of overwhelming people, and in the end she changed into a purple dress with blue edges and embroidered with blue peony dark lines.

Purple and peony show a solemn atmosphere, blue and give people a touch of elegant feeling, although this dress does not have the princess's clothes have a sense of majesty, but solemn but not old-fashioned, very suitable for today's occasion.

At this time, all the ladies in the hall were seated according to seniority, and it was common sense for all the ladies to talk and laugh on this occasion in the past, but not much today is to go to the princess's banquet. And it's the first time we've met. The princess has a high status, and everyone doesn't know the princess's temper, so they are more cautious, and they don't laugh loudly. It's just that acquaintances sitting next to each other will whisper something.

A "princess has arrived". Everyone led by Ye Chong's wife, Liu, quickly stood up from their stools. Then he saw a group of people coming out of the room, led by a young and beautiful lady with a decent smile on her face.

Ruoyun's appearance made everyone's eyes not only shine. Not to mention Ruoyun's height of 1.68 meters now, even among the women in the north, she is also tall, and women in the south are generally petite and exquisite, so she feels that Ruoyun is slender and slim.

And Ruoyun's face, no matter where he goes, no one is not amazing, even the old rival Queen Mother and the Xia family sisters have to admit that Ruoyun is beautiful, a kind of elegant and demure beauty.

In addition to her age, she is full of luxury, and her style is extremely elegant at first glance, but her smile gives a feeling like a spring breeze.

Although these ladies knew that this princess was originally a famous concubine, her status was noble, and her appearance was definitely not much worse, they didn't think that this princess was such a woman who had to be praised when she saw it.

There are many ladies below who can't help but feel dark in their hearts when they see such Ruoyun, because since they knew that Prince An was coming, many people had a small calculation in their hearts.

As the saying goes, people go to high places and water flows to low places, naturally some people want to climb high branches, looking at their beautiful girl, thinking that they may be able to enter the eyes of the prince, it is said that this King An is not only handsome, but also complete in all kinds of martial arts, if the girl can get the favor of the prince, it is good to add a boost to the father and brother at home.

And many people have also heard that the emperor favors King An more than his eldest son, and he can't say that King An will have great achievements in the future, so their family will follow one step to the sky.

Now that I see Princess An with such a heavenly posture, I can't help but want to retreat in my heart, this princess is such a character, her own girl will be compared to the ground when she goes to other people's homes, can this still get into the eyes of the prince!

Ruoyun naturally didn't know what these people thought at this time, she just led people to the top of the main seat and sat down.

As soon as she sat down, Liu led everyone to kneel down and salute: "The courtiers wait to meet Princess An!" ”

Ruoyun hurriedly got up, supported the Liu family who was closest to her, and said, "Ladies, please get up quickly, I'm so polite!" ”

It was the rule to sit down just now, and now it is reasonable to help people, and Ruoyun handled it just right.

Liu is also in her fifties, these years on the ground in Guangdong, her husband has the highest official position, and there are many people who usually stammer, she is also an old lady-like existence, and she has not kowtowed for many years, only others kowtow to her.

Now that I meet Ruoyun, who is in a high position, I have to salute, but it is inconvenient for me to kneel down when I am old, at this time, thanks to Ruoyun who supported her and did not ask her to kneel, otherwise it is really not easy to get up.

Seeing Ruoyun personally supporting her, Liu thought that what the old man said was indeed right, the An Wang couple looked humble, and then the uneasiness in their hearts because of kowtowing also disappeared, but they felt a little awkward in the end.

"The old lady quickly sit down, the old lady is not only old, but also Ruoyun's elder, don't do this big gift in the future, it will make Ruoyun feel uneasy!" Ruoyun helped Liu to sit down at the bottom of her and said.

When Liu heard Ruoyun say this, he felt a little relieved in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of glory when he thought of his birth, but he still said modestly: "The princess has raised her old body!" ”

In fact, this Liu family is not someone else, according to the relationship between relatives and relatives, this person can really be barely counted as Ruoyun's elder.

Because she was born in the Liu family in Jiangbei, everyone may not know about the Liu family in Jiangbei, but when it comes to the Liu family of Fuguo Gong, that is, Liu Yanzi's family, everyone should know.

The Liu family, the Duke of Fuguo, was actually from Jiangbei, but they settled in the capital after they were crowned the Duke of Fuguo, and most of the Liu family still lived in Jiangbei.

This is the sister of the old Fuguo Gong of the Liu family, and it should be Liu Yanzi's cousin according to the seniority.

Ruoyun and Liu Yanzi discussed handkerchiefs, so this old lady could really reluctantly let Ruoyun call her elder.

"Before I left Beijing, the county lord of Yanzi saw me off, and specially instructed me to bring it to you, and she also prepared a gift, let me bring it to you, and I will let someone send it to you when I turn around!" Ruoyun smiled and said to Liu after sitting down.

Liu's eyes also flashed with excitement when she heard this, she followed Ye Zhong to serve in this Yangcheng for many years, and she has not returned to her mother's house in Jiangbei for a long time, that is, she sent a letter and a New Year's gift during the New Year's holiday.

It's just that the older I get, the more homesick I become, and at this time, I heard that the relatives of the Yanzhi in Beijing still remember her, so I was naturally a little excited, and the glory of their Liu family was all tied to the Duke of Fuguo and the concubine Niangniang in the palace.

As soon as he was so happy, the awkwardness in his heart was gone, and he looked at Ruoyun with more closeness in his eyes.

It's just that she doesn't know, Liu Yanzi is just a grandchild's girl, where would she know that she exists, but Ruoyun read the information before going and casually mentioned it in front of her, Liu Yanzi asked the elders after she went home, and then sent someone to send a gift over.

This is also a common thing in the family of official eunuchs, but it is a courtesy exchange, anyway, this Liu's husband Ye Zhong is also regarded as the prefect of the powerful side, with the relationship of the Liu family, the auxiliary country will not suffer, and by the way, it is good to sell Ruoyun.

"The county lord of Yanzi still remembers the old body, I remember that the county lord of Yanzi should be seventeen this year, right?" Liu's is really like caring for juniors, and caring for Liu Yanzi.

"It's seventeen, the old lady has a good memory. After last year's election, Yanzi was given by the emperor to marry King Kang's son as a concubine, and she will get married soon! Ruoyun smiled.

Liu's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he couldn't help but stroke his palms and said: "This is a great happy event, after I go back today, I will hurry up and prepare a congratulatory gift, I think it should be too late!" ”

"Oh, when I was so happy, I lost my words, but the old lady broke the bank!" Ruoyun pretended to be speechless and laughed when he heard this.

Seeing her playful, Liu couldn't help but say lovingly: "It should be, it should be, it's too late for the old body to be happy!" ”

"That's right, I will also prepare a congratulatory gift for Yanzi in a few days, and we will send it to the capital together at that time!" Ruoyun said.

"It's the best, the old body is stained with the princess's light!" The Liu family knew that Ruoyun was giving her dignity, and if they sent congratulatory gifts alone, they might not be able to be in the crowd of congratulatory gifts, and if they followed the princess's congratulatory gifts, they would naturally be valued by the Fuguo Mansion.

Ruoyun narrowed the relationship with the Liu family in a few words, she knew that the Liu family was the vane of these people, if the Liu family was close to her, and other people would naturally follow, then her social scene in Yangcheng would slowly open. (To be continued......)
