183 At the palace banquet in the first year of Shengkang
Mu Fushu breathed a sigh of relief, and then frowned again: "Have you figured out how to arrange her?" ”
San Lang chuckled: "A-Niang is already very happy to be able to come to our wedding, why bother her again?" ”
Mu Fushu is right to think about it, Ayi Pasha is not a delicate person, and San Lang is hung in the name of a concubine in the Huai Wang's Mansion, he really wants to tell the world that Ayi Pasha is his mother, I don't know how many things will be done! Filial piety is not limited to formality, everyone knows it.
The two of them got tired of it for a while, and then tidied up and prepared to go out. The palace banquet in the evening was the first large-scale event held by Saburo after he ascended the throne, and it was also very difficult to hold a palace banquet at this time of extreme food shortage. If you hold a full banquet of the Manchu and Han Dynasty, it will be against the sky, it will definitely not work, if it is too lame, it will make people look down on it, and this degree will be handed over to San Lang and Mu Fushu to grasp.
The menu is Mu Fu Shu, and the dishes have been tried in advance. Although there were not many people attending the palace banquet, there were more than 500 people in total, and there were hundreds of people in Old Man Wen's family. At this time, there is no big round table and no Eight Immortals table, in the past, large banquets were also used to produce tables, a table can seat up to two people, this time Mu Fushu and San Lang changed this rule, all are round tables for ten people, according to the layout of the wedding banquet in the previous life hotel, so there are more than 50 tables,
The palace banquet is set up in the Penglai Palace, where the place is large, and there is a high platform inside, and the seats of San Lang and Yang Weiai, Mu Fushu and others are set on the high platform.
Seeing that the time was about the same, the two helped each other to dress up again, and put on the big coat to remove the Qifeng Palace.
In winter, it was dark early, and it was overcast after half a day. Entering the palace to attend the banquet must be in advance, although there is still half an hour left, more than half of the people in the Penglai Hall who participate in the palace banquet have arrived.
When I went to the front hall to find Yang Weiai, she had already sorted it out, only the big one was still in Yang Weng's hand, Cui Chongyu was holding a small hand stove, and the outside was carefully wrapped with a layer of flannel, and when Yang Weiai put on the big one, he stuffed the hand stove into Yang Weiai's hand, and also put her big one in, Yang Weiai glanced at him sideways and did not speak. At that glance at Shen Fei, a wanton smile appeared on the corner of Cui Chongyu's mouth, and the heart of Mu Fushu on the side was shaken.
"Let's go." Mu Fushu felt that the goosebumps on his body were up, and he pulled San Lang to lift his feet and left, Yang Weiai shouted behind him, vaguely blaming Mu Fushu for not walking in front of San Lang, after all, he is now the emperor.
Mu Fushu turned a deaf ear, pulled San Lang to walk like a fly, and walked dozens of steps away before he let out a sigh: "San Lang, why do I think Ah Niang is getting more and more strange?" ”
The corners of San Lang's mouth raised slightly: "What's strange?" ”
"I can't say it...... Mu Fushu frowned and thought about it: "Anyway, I just think they are so strange, aren't you jealous or resentful?" ”
If she were replaced, no matter how much she liked Saburo, she wouldn't be willing to share it with others!
San Lang shook his head: "You don't understand. Men have the broadest hearts. ”
"!" Mu Fushu took a sip: "A man can have three wives and four concubines, where is he willing to share his wife with other men?" Would you like to be replaced? ”
San Lang paused, stared at Mu Fushu's face seriously for a long time, and saw that Mu Fushu's heart was furious. It took him a long time before he said seriously: "I don't want to." ”
Mu Fushu stroked his chest: "You don't want to!" Then why do you still say that men are the most broad-minded? ”
San Lang pulled Mu Fushu and paced slowly: "Auntie's situation is different. Your father and uncle are her partners in different periods, because there is a precedence, and because they both love deeply, your aunt is reluctant to give up and can't choose, so they helped your aunt make a choice, that is, both of them are by his side. ”
Mu Fushu tilted his head and said disdainfully: "Obviously, it was A-Niang who chose the two of them, why did it become their choice A-Niang in your mouth?" ”
"What kind of people are they? If it weren't for their attitude, would my aunt be so arrogant? "San Lang thinks that the eldest mother is smart when she is smart, and she is really stupid when she is stupid, especially when she encounters emotional things, especially clumsy.
In fact, this can't be blamed on Mu Fushu, in her previous life, her father and mother didn't care about her six relatives and had no support, where do you understand any feelings? is with San Lang, but also because it was pleasing to the eye at first sight, and then it was imperceptible to understand that it was necessary for him to be together, and the love life of the two was smooth sailing without hindrance, and where did he understand those twists and turns of emotional entanglement?
When the two arrived at Penglai Palace, there was still a quarter of an hour left. Although the main hall is crowded with people, there is no chaos at all, and there is no sound of shouting and drinking, and the occasional speaker is also whispering, which reflects a good personal quality, which also fully shows that the people who participate in the palace banquet are people with noble status and thoughtful etiquette.
San Lang and his entourage are the emperor, the eldest princess, and the county lord, of course, they will not go in directly, but enter the side hall next to them. When the time comes, the people in the main hall will sit down before they go out.
The person in charge of this palace banquet is Cui Yuanqi, who makes the best use of people. As the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he has a wide range of work, and he simply made up for all the wasted days in the first half of his life, and he has not stopped since Saburo ascended the throne, and he has been working non-stop, and he has no time to go back to the mansion. Although the new emperor who ascended the throne is his grandson-in-law, although he is willing, he is really about to be unbearable, okay?
Cui Yuanqi wiped the sweat from his head, who could tell him why there were not enough palace people to serve dishes at the palace banquet, and he had to "pay out of his own pocket" to transfer people from Cui's mansion to help? If there are not enough chefs, he has to come forward to find them, and even the oven needed for the eldest lady's new dishes has to be built by him......
Fifty round tables are neatly arranged in the Penglai Hall, covered with beautiful embroidered tablecloths, and it is almost unbearable to put the dishes on them. In the middle of the round table there is also a small round table that can be turned, and nine cold dishes are already placed on the small round table. This palace banquet has nine cold dishes, ten hot dishes and two dim sum. Take ninety-nine to one, perfect and perfect double happiness.
The people at the banquet were seated according to the nameplates on the round table. The nameplate has the names of all ten people at a table, even down to the point where each person has one.
There is a fire dragon in the Penglai Palace, and there are several large stoves in the corner, which are as warm as spring. Everyone came in and took off their robes. After sitting down, I first looked curiously at this strange table (at this time, everyone didn't know that the round table in the middle could be rotated), and each table had three bottles of different kinds of wine, with the words "Wuliangye", "Daughter Red" and "Beauty Drunk".
This is, of course, white wine, rice wine and red wine. Originally, Mu Fushu wanted to name the rice wine "Huadiao", but the meaning was not good. I used "daughter red".
As far as Mu Fushu is concerned, I still think "Huadiao" is better! These two names are actually a kind of wine. Some people in the Jiangnan area will bury a few jars of rice wine behind the house after giving birth to their daughters, and take them out when their daughters get married, which is "daughter red". If the daughter unfortunately dies before she becomes an adult, the rice wine is "Huadiao", which means "flower withering".
Sandwiched between the three bottles is a piece of red gold paper that reads the menu:
The cold dishes are smooth sailing (pig's ears), beef rush (sauce beef), icing on the cake (radish carving), more than every year (crispy eel), good things (aromatic pork ribs), strong body (cold lettuce), reunion (auspicious three treasures), health and longevity (refreshing mixed peach kernels), and happy gathering (brine platter).
The hot dishes are Jinyu Mantang (phoenix corn soup), wealth is rolling in (Yipin mushroom soup), vertical and horizontal dominance (spicy fried Dungeness crab), more than every year (steamed smooth sailing), wealth and wealth (tomato sauce prawns), wealth to white head (stir-fried beef fillet with mushrooms), holding a golden stick (crispy fried chicken thighs), home fat house run (plum vegetable button meat cake), joyful (stewed mutton), and braised reunion every year (stewed pork ribs with beans).
Dim sum is buckwheat noodles, lamb steamed dumplings and fresh fish wontons.
Everyone was stunned by this menu, because the dishes above were unseen and unheard of, Chang'an is not near the sea, there are not many seafood, and the shrimp and Dungeness crab used this time belong to seafood, which is the only dish that attracts more attention in this palace banquet. The other dishes are very common ingredients, but the cooking methods are different, but because everyone has never seen this strange dish name (the dishes on the menu are only the first half, and the ones in parentheses are not), so when looking at the cold dishes on the menu, it is obvious that they are angry and admired.
In addition to the palace maids who were waiting for the audience, there were also maids from the Cui family and the eldest princess's mansion, which was just right to explain to everyone at this time, and explained that this palace banquet was created by the quasi-queen Fushu county lord herself, and everyone became more curious about the mysterious Fushu county lord while suddenly realizing it.
The nobles of the upper class, no matter how difficult the world is, always have their own set of rules of survival. The famine in the past few years has only reduced some expenses, and it is impossible to say that they are really hungry, because they are all in the upper echelons of the country, that is, they are supported by the whole country, and they can still have a full stomach except for a little worse food.
Since the ascension of the Wang family, many families have chosen to escape from the world, and those who can participate in the palace banquet this time are of course those who are either away from the world or not in the same stream, they usually have nothing to do, and it is simple to inquire about the private affairs between the families. For this Fushu county lord, he was very puzzled. I only know that she was entrusted to her henchmen by the eldest princess to raise, and she grew up in the countryside, for some reason there is no little family spirit, everyone who has seen her says that she is better than the eldest princess, I don't know who raised her, maybe it is the old mother in the deep palace!
As soon as the time came, Cui Yuanqi personally went to the side hall to invite San Lang. At this time, it was not like in later generations, when the emperor participated in a palace banquet, he had to urge and invite him to kneel and greet him, but when San Lang appeared on the high platform, everyone left their seats and called out three times.
There are three tables on the high platform, San Lang is in the center, Mu Fushu is behind San Lang's left, about one meter apart, and Yang Weiai is behind San Lang's right, about two meters apart. R1152
