In the kitchen, the aroma of wine was permeated, and after smelling it for a while, An Rong and Shen Anxi were red, like a winding snow-capped mountain reflecting the sunset, gorgeous and bright.

Seeing that the wine jar was slowly decreasing, and more and more purified wine was being refined, An Rong's heart was also a little calmer.

It's just that these drinks have to be purified twice, otherwise they won't be mellow enough.

Shen Anxi looked at the time, his little brows furrowed, "At this hour, there should be guests in the house, why didn't grandmother come to ask us to help welcome the guests, have we been refining wine here?" ”

An Rong looked at the clear wine, looked at her and smiled, "Do you like to go to the front yard to welcome guests?" ”

Shen Anxi shook his head, "I don't really want to, but I've never done it before, and I want to experience it." ”

Shen Anmin carefully added firewood, to be honest, he likes to add firewood, the stove is very warm, hearing Shen Anxi say this, his eyes are slightly gloomy.

In the past, the sixth sister was unwell, and she would be out of breath when she stood for a while, how could she be allowed to go to greet the guests, but now that she is in good health, the kindness of the fourth sister to their third room is simply beyond repayment.

However, the bottom of his gloomy eyes was only for a moment, he was naturally optimistic, and said with a smile, "You are in good health, and when you greet you in the future, stand there and laugh vigorously, and your cheeks can laugh stiffly, and you won't feel fun at that time." ”

Shen Anxi was stunned when he heard this, reached out and patted his cheek, and shook his head violently, "I still don't want to go, but how tired is my mother to greet so many guests outside?" ”

Small talk in the kitchen.

There was another knock on the door outside.

Haitang wanted to go out, but Shen Anxi stopped, "You are busy, I'll go." ”

opened the door, Shen Anxi went out for a while and came in again, twisting his brows and looking at An Rong, looking like he wanted to cry without tears, "Fourth sister, we have to stay here for a long time today, my mother sent someone to say that ten more tables ...... the banquet was added." ”

An Rong's body was a little unstable, and his eyes widened, "Sixty tables? ”

Shen Anxi nodded like pounding garlic, "There may be more than sixty tables, I heard the maid say that some ministers' families give gifts, and they are all three or four people ......." ”

Usually a family comes to one, at most two, Mrs. with her daughter.

Today it's the ministers, the ladies, the daughters, and maybe a son.

If this continues, how can sixty tables be enough?

An Rong is dizzy.

Outside, Shen Anbei pushed the door in and said to Shen Anmin, "Brother Min, you continue to be busy, the students of the academy are here, I have to go and greet them, otherwise they will all be crowded here." ”

Shen Anmin frowned and said, "Big brother, you tell your grandmother, this wine is purified slowly, and it can only ensure a few large tables and a large jar, and other tables can only have a small jar." ”

Shen Anbei took a look and said, "The seats at the big tables are all VIPs, and there should be more wine, you try to get it, and I'll go and tell my grandmother." ”

Shen Anbei came out of the kitchen and dragged Zhou Shaoyi and Lian Xuan away, poor Lian Xuan wanted to go in and take a look, but he entered Linglong Garden, but he didn't see the main owner.

Zizhuyuan, Shen Anyun and the eldest aunt sat in the room, listening to the maid's announcement, how many people had sent congratulatory gifts, and what things had been sent, and their eyes lit up when they heard it.

Chunlan pursed her lips and smiled, "The banquet for the eldest girl's marriage has been increased to sixty tables, and the people in the kitchen are all busy, sweating profusely. ”

Shen Anyun was in a very good mood, those people came to say hello to her, those congratulatory gifts......

Thinking of this, Shen Anyun's mood was a little depressed, if those congratulatory gifts were given to her to marry, it would be okay if the Hou Mansion was not prepared, how much income did she bring to the Hou Mansion when she got married, I am afraid that it would be tens of thousands of taels!

That's it, the old lady still doesn't give her the identity of a concubine, if it weren't for the bride who can't get out of the house, she will have to theorize, in the future, the marriage of the fourth sister and the fifth sister can bring so much glory and wealth to the Hou Mansion, and said that she only cares about herself and ignores the Hou Mansion.

Shen Anyun was really dizzy with joy, and she didn't want to think about it, where did she get the face, let so many people come to give her congratulations, so many people were busy with the Hou Mansion without touching the ground, and she still complained.

In Songhe Courtyard, Shen Anbei led Zhou Shaoyi and Lian Xuan to greet the old lady.

There are a lot of noble ladies sitting in the room, and there are many ladies playing in the warm pavilion.

Seeing him approaching from a distance, they were all shy.

After entering the inner room, the three of them greeted the old lady.

It was the first time for the old lady to see the Hou Shizi of Jingbei, and her impression of him was really not good, and she scared An Rong with mice, and she had been holding back her breath, but Lian Xuan's attitude of asking for peace was very good, and her mouth was sweet, and a few words made the old lady angry.

Shen Anbei approached and told the old lady what he said about purifying the wine, and the old lady nodded, "Just do your best." ”

Those people came to the Hou Mansion, which was originally unexpected, and it was reasonable that the Hou Mansion was not well prepared, and they could understand.

Shen Anbei was about to withdraw, but Xia He came in in a hurry, leaned into the old lady's ear and muttered a few words, the old lady was so shocked that the Buddha beads in her hand fell, but fortunately they fell on her knees.

"Really?" The old lady asked.

Xia He nodded again and again, "The Hou Mansion specially instructed the slaves and maids to make a special pot of nine-brewed spring wine. ”

The banquet has been organized so far, the old lady is happy, but now she is frightened, the emperor is here!

is still in plain clothes, accompanied by the left and right ministers, wearing a mask, as a guest, but how many years has the Hou Ye served the emperor, can you not detect whether that person is the emperor?

The emperor's visit to the Hou Mansion is a very face-saving thing, it can be said that it is a matter of fluffy and glorious, and it is good now, but it has to be sneaky, and serve as if I don't know.

But now the Hou Mansion has a lot of people, and if something happens, the Hou Mansion will be doomed.

The old lady was dizzy, and tried her best to tell herself, the emperor must have been accompanied by many people when he traveled, and said calmly, "Go and sue the fourth girl, be sure to be attentive." ”

Many ladies in the room looked at the old lady, and they didn't understand why her face suddenly changed, but when it came to the four girls, many ladies were surprised, they brought their daughters, why didn't they see the girl accompanying them, so they accompanied the daughter in the second room?

"Old lady, why don't you see the four girls?" A lady asked with a smile.

The old lady regained her face, fiddled with the Buddha beads and said with a smile, "She is in Linglong Garden, there are many ministers here today, and they want to taste fine wine, this wine will be between the second young master and her, they will accompany the guests, this wine will be gone, and I can only wait for those girls in the warm pavilion." ”

Those noble ladies were quite surprised, and then smiled and said, "Second Young Master Shen is famous in Kyoto, not only poetry and painting, but also a good dish, presumably this method of making wine was also thought up by him, I heard that the wine is as clear as water, if it is not for the fragrance of wine, it really makes people think it is water." ”

Those noble ladies were curious about Second Young Master Shen, they only knew that he was young, but he was extraordinary, and dared to refuse Mrs. Zhou and Mr. Qiongshan Academy, but because the eldest brother fell and was injured, he wanted to go to the academy to accompany the eldest brother, and he helped the academy solve the water problem.

Such a young man, it's a pity that he is a three-room son-in-law, if he is a son, I am afraid that many people will have to open up their faces to find a matchmaker.

No, I just thought about it in my heart, and there was a lady knocking on the side, "Second Young Master Shen is full of talent and informality, such a temperament is really rare, it seems that he is not too young, I don't know if I can get married?" ”

The old lady sat there, and when she saw that everyone automatically put the drink on Shen Anmin, she didn't explain.

The third wife had to mention to her that Shen Anmin and An Rong wanted to open a wine shop, although An Rong took fifty percent of the shares, but it was Shen Anmin who came forward to do it, so that he could bear this reputation and be better than An Rong, so he didn't explain.

As for Shen Anmin's marriage, the old lady was curious when she saw so many people, a smile flashed in her eyes, and she said with a smile, "He is still young, and he is dedicated to learning, and his family affairs have not yet been decided." ”

not only pointed out Shen Anmin's point, he was diligent and studious, and he politely rejected everyone, but he now focuses on his studies and does not consider family affairs.

In the warm pavilion, the county lord of Qinghe and the county lord of Yiyang were pricking up their ears to eavesdrop, especially the county lord of Yiyang, whose faces were flushed.

She was afraid that the old lady would say that she would be married, after all, there are very few talented teenagers in Kyoto, and I heard that many people came to him to say goodbye, but fortunately they didn't agree.

Thinking of the orchid folding fan and the poem sent by Shen Anmin, the face of the county lord of Yiyang turned even redder, and it was more beautiful than Yingshan red.

Lord Qinghe looked at her with wide eyes, stretched out his hand and waved in front of her eyes, "What are you thinking, so distracted." ”

The county lord of Yiyang glared at her with disgust, pouted and said, "I'm thinking about Sister Anrong, we came to play with her today, and she is not here." ”

The county lord of Qinghe was also a little disappointed, but she quickly smiled, "No way, that kind of wine is the second young master Shen, he trusts An Rong the most, so he can only ask her for help, let's not bother, but with a banquet in a while, I will always see her." ”

The county lord of Yiyang nodded, and it could only be like this.

At this time, there was a burst of suona sound, cheerful and relaxed.

"The dowry is gone," the county lord of Yiyang said with a smile, pulling the county lord of Qinghe to see the dowry.

The dowry given by the Hou Mansion to Shen Anyun was originally one hundred and forty-eight taels, but later the Xuanping Marquis Mansion sent another three thousand taels, and the Hou Mansion could only add another 1,500 taels, and picked up objects of the same value from the treasury to add them, barely scraping together one hundred and eighty taels.

The valuable and large items walked in front, and everyone watched and commented, and when it was about one hundred and fifty units, the next person came to invite them to enter Yee On Hall.

Eight restaurants plus the drunken fairy building to try cooking, this is much more interesting than sending a concubine's dowry, everyone went to Yi'an Hall.

Today, there were originally three people from the Eight Restaurants and the Drunken Immortal Building, but the wine table was increased to sixty tables, and the manpower was not enough, so the major restaurants added another person.

In return, the Hou Mansion wanted to sell them the clear and moist wine at the best price, and the sooner the better, and after asking the Hou Ye's opinion, the Fu Administrator agreed. R1152
