65 Spring Banquet

As the mother and daughter were talking, they saw in the distance, and Mama Zhang led two beautiful women wearing brocade robes and skirts to come over, one of them wearing a silver-red embroidered lily of the valley blossom brocade gown, and let out a hearty laugh towards Princess Hehui, "I said sixth sister, how long have you been back, and then I remembered to invite our sisters to get together!" Later, the eighth child and I will have to punish you with three glasses of wine! Isn't it the eighth? After saying that, she squeezed her eyes at a woman next to her who was wearing a bright red embroidered cloud Baifu.

Princess Hehui pulled her daughter to meet her quickly, and at the same time introduced her daughter in a low voice, "The silver-red gown in front is your seventh aunt, who is named Princess Fukang, and the other eighth in line is Princess Ningkang." ”

Yang Lan nodded and said that she understood, her mother's ranking was sixth, and they were all brothers, and when she arrived, the first emperor had his first daughter, and he was the queen's concubine, so he was named the eldest princess at birth, Fukang and Ningkang were seven or eight princesses respectively, and their mother concubines had always survived close to the queen in the early years, so the relationship between the three princesses was still good.

He Hui stepped forward quickly, grabbed her sister's hand, looked at it carefully, and saw that the two of them looked very good, their faces were ruddy and full of energy, and then they smiled with satisfaction, "When did you two return to Beijing?" I thought you had forgotten about me! I didn't expect the post to be sent out, and someone really picked it up, so I realized that you were back. How about having fun playing all these years! ”

Princess Fukang and Princess Ningkang are living very well because of their close relationship with the Queen Mother, and the two sisters have been touring the mountains and rivers with their husbands in the past two years, and they have only recently returned to Beijing. When I heard that the eldest sister was back, I naturally wanted to come over to say goodbye.

Ning Kang is gentle and graceful. is slightly different from Fukang's bright and beautiful people, and she gently blessed the salute and then spoke without hurry. "Sixth Sister is back, how dare we not come! The two of us have been to many places over the years, and it has been so much fun! I also brought gifts for my sisters and nephews! Ming'er will bring it to you. ”

"Good! I'm relieved to see you're well! He Hui nodded with satisfaction, there was a faint crystal color in her eyes, in the end, she grew up with affection, and she was very different from others.

Fukang and Ning Kang also seemed very excited, the three sisters hadn't seen each other for many years after they got married, they thought they would be separated, but they didn't expect the eldest sister to still care about them so much, and they suddenly felt warm in their hearts. They quickly got closer to each other and resumed their former casual closeness.

"This is your daughter Lan'er! I remember that the queen mother personally gave the edict written by the emperor's brother and named Jing'an! After Fukang was excited, he immediately beckoned, and the girl behind him immediately took a box with red lacquered wood carved peony flowers and held it up.

Princess Hehui looked at her daughter gently and smiled, "Isn't it just her little monkey!" ”

Yang Lan immediately stepped forward and greeted the two aunts with no bad etiquette, "Jing'an asks for peace for the seventh aunt and greets the eighth aunt." I wish the seventh and eighth aunts eternal youth and good health! ”

"Good! Good boy! Fukang handed over the box and said, "When I came, I heard that you had brought your daughter back, and I specially prepared a gift." See if you like it? ”

Yang Lan raised her head and looked at her mother, and when she saw her mother nodding, she opened the box with a smile. Inside is a round jade pendant, but the color is a little gray and seems to be a little dirty. It's not too bright.

But Yang Lan whispered in surprise, "This is?" This is a jade pendant from the Han Dynasty. I didn't expect to be able to keep it so intact, it's amazing, Xie Lu Xie Seventh Aunt, Lan'er likes it so much! She thanked her joyfully.

Ning Kang also took out his own gift and said with a smile: "My gift is different from theirs, this is a small thing I brought back from Miaojiang when I went to the south to play, it is very good to use it for self-defense, you can see if you like it!" ”

Yang Lan handed the box in her hand to Biyun behind her, and opened the box given by Princess Ningkang, there was a small and delicate sleeve arrow lying inside, this sleeve arrow is very small, it is tied to the arm, it can shoot thousands of needles in a row, and the range is quite long, it is divided into two slots, you can choose to give different kinds of poison to the needle, it is indeed enough for a girl to defend herself.

Yang Lan stroked back and forth excitedly, as if she had a baby, her eyes were shining, bright and moving, "Great, this is a continuous quiver, I haven't found this kind of sleeve arrow yet!" Eighth aunt, thank you, I like this gift so much, the second brother must be envious of me when he sees it! ”

Ning Kang also smiled with satisfaction, "If you like it, it's fine!" ”

Princess Hehui not only shook her head helplessly, "This child doesn't know who he has learned, he likes machine guns since he was a child, and he was fascinated when he saw it, a few days ago, he gave me two small firearms, but this child didn't let go as soon as he saw it, and he had to grind me and let me give it to her, how dare I play with that thing!" ”

Yang Lan pouted unhappily, with a disapproving expression, "Mother, you love to make a fuss, what's the big deal, that pistol is so small, the range is very limited, I am much better than my brother!" ”

A total of two firearms were sent over, one large and one small, only the small one was transformed, and the big one was not too big, but it was not as delicate and small as the small one she fancied, but unfortunately the old lady put it away and refused to give it to her, but gave the big one to the second brother.

The two princesses, Ning Kang and Fukang, couldn't help laughing when they saw Yang Lan's cute little appearance, "Sixth sister is so blessed, having such a baby by her side is Cheng Huan's knees, but I envy us to death!" ”

He Hui led them towards the inner hall, laughing as he walked, "What are you envious of what I'm doing, your two sons add up to four, and the children know how to make progress, what else is there to regret!" ”

Saying this, the two princesses also felt that their lives were actually very complete, they looked at each other and smiled, and the three sisters talked about some of the customs and customs they had traveled out over the years, and Yang Lan didn't blink her eyes when she heard it, her face was full of envy.

Princess Hehui didn't have time to say anything to her two younger sisters, and the guests over there had already come over one after another, so it was necessary to say hello as the host.

It was the first time for Yang Lan to host such a banquet, although she had thought about it very carefully before, there were still some mistakes in the implementation process, but fortunately, Mama Zhang reacted quickly and had a lot of experience, so she quickly dealt with it.

The guests were arranged to enjoy the flowers and eat the flowing water in the garden, the banquet was very good, the kitchen made eighteen kinds of unique skills, there were several dishes and snacks that were appreciated by the guests, especially the small bite of milk to dim sum that can be eaten has been loved by everyone, it will not affect everyone's makeup, the taste is good, and it will not affect the image too much.

Two of the snacks were inspired by modern times, such as the multi-flavored double skin milk and milk tea, and the yogurt with crushed fruit pieces, which were unanimously praised by the girls.

Isn't this Zhou Ying led the county lord of Wanrou over, "Lan'er, I heard that today is the first time you are hosting a banquet?" Well done! Especially the confectionery is so delicious! ”

Yang Lan smiled happily, happily pulling Wanrou and Zhou Ying with an embarrassed smile: "Don't laugh at me, I thought it was quite simple!" There are examples to be inquired about, but who knows that there are still mistakes when Lu Dao does it himself! After speaking, he looked a little annoyed.

Wanrou is older than Zhou Ying, and has been independently involved in housekeeping for more than two years, seeing Yang Lan's somewhat gloomy look, she patted her hand comfortingly, "You are already very good, you don't know that when I first got it, I lost two sets of dishes in the warehouse alone!" Not counting the extra money spent! ”

"I know that I will try to do better next time!" Yang Lan was not discouraged, and regained her confidence with her small chin held high.

"By the way, you have to write me a copy of those new dim sum recipes, and I'll go back and let my cook try it, I like that double skin milk!" Zhou Ying couldn't help but make an evocative expression. (To be continued......)
