Chapter 214 Flower Viewing Feast
As the weather warms up in mid-March, the trees in Kyoto City change their green costumes, and the major families begin to hold various famous cherry blossom viewing parties.
This flower-viewing banquet does not mean that you want to do one, it still depends on the family heritage, and some people are not willing to participate in the flower-viewing banquet if you put your mind to make it bigger, and prepare all kinds of flowers.
The so-called flower-viewing banquets are nothing more than blind date banquets, and they also give the official wives the opportunity to walk around each other.
After all, the choice of daughters-in-law is the words of the parents first, so the daughters of these official eunuch families often engage in some poetry and flower appreciation banquets to get to know each other, and also get to know each other's girls.
On this day, Zhou Xiaofu and other sisters in the house, Zhou Xiaoxi from the big house, Zhou Xiaolan from the second room, and Zhou Xiaoxuan from the third room, went to the palace of Linping County to participate in the spring flower viewing banquet under the leadership of the He family of the big house.
Zhou Xiaobin was sent to his own Zhuangzi two days ago by the second master because he had already said that he was married, but his temperament was not calm enough.
And specially invited an expensive palace nurturing grandmother to accompany the Zhuangzi to train the rules of self-cultivation, and did not say the return date.
The second old man is also ruthless, after all, the eldest daughter is right, if it goes on like this, there will be chaos, especially when I heard the eldest daughter say that Sister Bin went to Zhuangzi with the four girls before, and she knew this Liu Gongzi early, and threatened to like each other.
Fortunately, few people know, otherwise this marriage would not be able to cover up. The family will definitely punish their daughter for such behavior.
So there is one less person who goes to this county palace today, Zhou Xiaobin.
This Linping county king is one of the eight county kings in Kyoto, and the head of this generation, Zhu Chongyan, is about thirty-eight years old. The wife Hou is the second daughter of the Hou family of Yanyuguan, with one son and three daughters, the eldest son is Zhu Shiheng is twenty years old, and the eldest granddaughter of Fang Weihan, the eldest granddaughter of the Fang family, died in childbirth a year ago.
This has been more than a year old, and it is not an exaggeration to hold a flower-viewing banquet in this county palace, after all, it has been more than a year since this filial piety. Again, the eldest grandson born by this Fang family is still young and needs to be taught by his mother.
Therefore, the county palace is also anxious to need a third-generation clan woman, so this early flower viewing banquet was scheduled. If there is an unmarried lady in the house, almost everyone in the family has a banquet.
Although this county palace is only hereditary for five generations, this generation is already the third generation, and the current Zhu Shiheng is already the son. To Zhu Shiheng, this is the fourth generation.
No matter how he is, he is also the king of the county. This is a land and supply, and it can be regarded as an answer with the royal family.
After breakfast, the ladies in each house, everyone also knows the meaning of this county palace, and there are many people who invite people to the county palace, so those who are interested in bringing the girls who are not out of the cabinet at home come, and the door is slightly higher than the one who fills the house for the county palace, so they are not willing to mix.
After all, it is also a noble family, and the average eunuch family is still eye-catching.
Especially this Zhu Shizi is twenty years old, and he is not an ordinary idle son. is really an official position, and he is a five-grade lieutenant in the camp of Jingbei University. Although it is not a big official position, this is a real shortage, and in the current era of peace, the position of this military camp is to train soldiers harder, but there will be no worries such as death and injury.
So there are still a lot of women who participate in the cherry blossom viewing banquet this time.
Zhou Xiaofu really didn't want to come, she wanted to pretend to be sick, but if she wanted to go to Zhuangzi for a few days after a few days, I was afraid it would be difficult to say.
simply dressed up as usual and went to the county king's mansion with a group of female relatives of the Zhou Mansion.
The arrival of the Zhou Mansion was not too late, but there were many people who were willing to marry the girl into the county prince's mansion, and they came early.
The children all sat in a large flower hall first, and the wife of the county king, Hou, also began to entertain the guests who arrived early with her two daughters, the eldest daughter of the Hou family, who had married two years ago.
Zhou Mansion brought the girls out this time It was the He family, after all, the He family behind the He family is a scholarly family, and the family is also high, although Zhou Xiaolan has already married the Gongsun family, the largest first-class family in the Kaiyuan Dynasty, but this Ma family is a person who can't do it.
After thinking about it, Mrs. Zhou still felt that the daughter-in-law of the big house, He, was reliable, so she specially explained that she took the ladies to the county palace together, and also talked about the ultimate purpose of this flower-viewing banquet, and knocked on He's family, this Zhou Xiaoxi will be seventeen years old in July, and this family affair may not be able to be talked about, and it can't be practiced in the family temple if you can't get married at an old age.
Before He came, he inquired about the masters of the county palace before and after, it is really a rare good family, not to mention the hereditary title of the county king, let's just say this son, only twenty years old, has already asked for the title of the son, or the captain of the camp in the north of Beijing, I heard that the character and appearance are good, but some shortcomings are widowed, and there is a one-year-old eldest son.
But if you are not widowed and looking for a house, can you still take the turn of someone like them as a candidate, don't even think about it.
Although the official position of the father-in-law and the master of the family's ex-wife in this world is the same, they are all controlled by the three products, but the same official position is in a different position, and the family is the Fang family of Donghang Weaving and Salt Patrol Imperial History and General Political Envoy.
This flower banquet is a good opportunity, He Shixian discussed it with his daughter, and saw that his daughter was not very happy, so he found someone to spend the baby elephant of this life to his daughter, she was also a young lady in the boudoir, and she had the thoughts of a little daughter.
This woman is actually a visual animal, she likes to be young and handsome, she looks really good in this life, and she has such a family.
No matter how scheming Zhou Xiaoxi is, she is just a seventeen or eighteen young girl, and when she sees the little elephant in this life, her heart suddenly comes alive.
Although this is not as grand as last year's dress up at Gongsun's house, it also highlights its own advantages.
The girl who is about to be seventeen years old is the same age as the flower, unlike the thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl's flowers, so that she can't see that the girl is already enchanting and beautiful.
Today, Zhou Xiaoxi wore a long skirt in the color of freshwater red, and approved a royal blue cloak with rabbit fur edges. A water-red gemstone headdress of the same color as the skirt is inserted on the head, and a broken gemstone earring in the shape of a tassel.
A girl of this age is in the same age as water, and it is the season to pick. This entry into the flower hall provoked many people to look at it.
He saw that all the sitting ladies had their eyes on their daughters, and raised the corners of their mouths proudly.
She has been dragging the Yang family's proposal before, just to find a better person for her daughter, although the Yang family is not bad, but compared to the hereditary title of the prince of the county prince's mansion, it is not comparable at all.
Zhou Xiaofu and Zhou Xiaolan glanced at each other, and stood behind with calm faces as invisible people.
This He clan can be regarded as having a head and a face in this clan circle. She is the patriarch of the Zhou family, and the He family was born in a scholarly family and has good taste. It is very good to receive people and things on weekdays, plus Zhou Lanjing of the big house controls the four products, and he works in the household department, which is also a real shortage.
At this time, the princess Hou glanced at the He family who came in. Zhou Xiaoxi, who was already the same age as a flower next to her, flashed in her eyes. glanced at the daughter standing on the opposite side, and got up enthusiastically to greet him.
And although the He family is familiar with the Hou family, they are not familiar with each other, and the appearance of the Hou family can't help but make her think, is it that the county palace has already chosen the princess?
Is it their sister's sister?
Looking at Hou's enthusiastic attitude, and pulling his daughter to look up and down, He suddenly had a plan in his heart.
And Zhou Xiaoxi, a shrewd girl, also felt that the Bacheng County Mansion had fallen in love with her early, and did she hold such a flower-viewing banquet just to meet her publicly?
Thinking about it. But seeing that Hou quickly turned out a red jade bracelet from the handmaid's hand, he quickly put it on Zhou Xiaoxi's wrist and said: "I'm old, I like it when I see this girl like shallots." I think this bracelet fits you. ”
When Zhou Xiaoxi blushed and was about to shirk it, a girl about thirteen or fourteen years old on the side pouted and said angrily: "Mother is really eccentric, this blood jade bracelet daughter has begged several times, but mother always refuses to give it, this is the first time I saw Sister Xi, I brought it to others, I don't know, I think Sister Xi is your own child." ”
Zhou Xiaoxi's face blushed when the little girl said something, and He Shi on the side also smiled from ear to ear, as if this family affair had already been completed.
Hou deliberately patted the thirteen or fourteen little girl next to him and said, "You are too crooked." Then he turned his head to He and said with a smile on his face: "This is my youngest daughter Yalan, who has been pampered since she was a child, and she is childish." ”
With a smile on his face, He took off an emerald green jade bracelet from his hand, pulled the little girl and put it on the white jade-like wrist, and said with a smile: "Your mother is reluctant, I'll give you one, just don't dislike it." ”
This little girl was very fine, and immediately saluted He with a smile on her face: "Thank you, Mrs. Zhou." ”
After that, he briefly introduced a few foils brought by He's Zhou Xiaofu and others, and saluted one by one, and Hou's Xu really liked Zhou Xiaoxi and kept saying this.
After a while, people gradually arrived, and there were more than a dozen families, none of which were particularly high, and the Zhou Mansion was the highest.
Hou asked his second daughter Zhu Yaer to take the little girls around the house to see the greenhouse or something.
And Zhou Xiaoxi will be dragged by Zhu Yaer all the time.
Zhou Xiaofu and Zhou Xiaolan, as well as Zhou Xiaohu, fell last, and the last three of them were bored and went to the highest pavilion on the rockery to bask in the sun.
It's really boring tight.
The three of them were chatting with each other, and it was Qingbi who accompanied Zhou Xiaofu today.
Qingbi seemed to have found something and pulled Zhou Xiaofu's sleeve.
Zhou Xiaofu quickly scanned his head towards the vicinity.
There was nothing unusual around, and when I was about to turn around and ask Qingbi, I found a water-red figure and a navy blue figure in the bamboo forest opposite the pavilion. (To be continued......)
