The Chu family and the Zhao family are preparing for tomorrow's chrysanthemum feast, but some people are happy and some are not.

On the second day, Liu was afraid that Rouge would regret it temporarily, so after washing, he went to Rouge's yard in person to tell Rouge to get up.

"Rouge, get up quickly, we are going to attend the chrysanthemum banquet today, you get up and wash up and dress up, hurry, don't lie in bed."

Rouge, who was still half-asleep and half-awake, didn't want to get up at all now, and put the quilt on his head to block Liu's words.

When Liu saw this scene, he was also very helpless.

While pulling the rouge quilt, he said kindly.

"Rouge, hurry up, there is a poetry competition at today's chrysanthemum feast, do you remember? And the prizes, you don't want to hurry up. ”

Hearing Liu say that there was a competition and prizes, I was interested for a while, opened my eyes, and was ignorant.

"Hey, grandmother, today we are going to enjoy the chrysanthemum feast, right."

Looking at the confused rouge, Liu smiled.

"yes, don't you like the game the most, why don't you get up and get dressed up."

After getting the rouge of the quasi-letter, he got up, but his eyes had not yet opened.

Magnolia on the side thought.

Thanks to the old lady, if she called the young lady to get up, she might not know how much time and effort it would take.

Ika, who had been waiting on the sidelines, saw Rouge sit up and change her clothes and freshen up.

On the other side of the Chu family, Chu Jingting knew that she was going to participate in the chrysanthemum banquet today, and she didn't sleep well last night, and in the morning, when the sky was still bright, she got up and dressed up.

After tossing for a long time, I finally finished dressing up, hurriedly ate breakfast, and went out with gifts.

The three of the Zhao family's grandmother, grandson, and daughter-in-law sat in the carriage with great interest.

Along the way, Rouge kept asking Liu and Zhou Rongyin.

"Grandmother, aunt, what kind of banquet is that chrysanthemum feast?"

Rouge, who had never been to a banquet before, was extremely excited to attend a banquet for the first time.

Zhou Rongyin looked at Rouge's curious energy and explained.

"Rouge, this chrysanthemum feast, as the name suggests, is a banquet with the theme of chrysanthemum appreciation.

My aunt told you that the host of this chrysanthemum banquet was organized by the wife of the commander of Peizhou City, so the rules of this banquet are more important, you must abide by the rules and don't run around. ”

Liu is also worried that if Rouge comes to play with his heart and breaks the rules at the banquet, it will make those ladies and ladies laugh.

"Rouge, do you understand what your aunt said? The people who participated in the banquet this time are all people with heads and faces in Peizhou, we are the façade of General Weiyuan's mansion, go there, remember not to be petty, you know? ”

Rouge has long been tired of hearing this set of rhetoric, and has promised to go to the chrysanthemum banquet since he agreed.

Maternal grandmother Liu and aunt Zhou Rongyin have to remind themselves every time they see themselves.

Even when she sleeps at night, Aunt Yulan has to tell her in her ear, if it weren't for her good sleep quality, I'm afraid that she would have these advice in her dreams.

Liu and Zhou Rongyin's worries are not unreasonable.

The Zhao family has been moving to Peizhou for nearly 20 years, if nothing else, I am afraid that they will not return to the capital in the future, Zhao Changqing and Zhao Yunchen, father and son, will defend the Xiongnu outside Peizhou City very well.

At present, this Peizhou City is a good place to settle down.

Although the Zhao family came from the capital, the Pang family has taken root in this Peizhou city for hundreds of years.

For the Pang family, it is still necessary to be polite.

On the other side of the Chu family, although Zhou Jingya's temper has been restrained a little, it is to the old lady Chu and Chu Changjian, and to those concubines, aunts and concubines, how they are on weekdays, and what they are doing now.

Zhou Jingya will not lose her value and go to make a carriage with Chu Jingting.

Although Chu Wentao and Chu Jingting are brother and sister, there is a difference between men and women, and they are not born to the same mother, so it is inconvenient to make a carriage.

Therefore, a total of three people from the Chu family participated in the chrysanthemum feast, and they also sat in three carriages.

After Mrs. Chu found out, she muttered in her mouth.

"It's really a loser, extravagant like this."

After Chu Changjian found out, although he didn't say anything, he was also uncomfortable in his heart.

Now, the Great Zhou Dynasty can be said to be in jeopardy, but Zhou Jingya doesn't know it yet, and she still assumes the identity of the county lord when she travels.

As everyone knows, if this Peizhou City was not under the defense of Weiyuan General Zhao Changqing, she would still have a good life.

Zhou Jingya didn't want to ride in the same carriage with her concubine Chu Jingting, but she didn't know that Chu Jingting didn't want to sit with Zhou Jingya.

The carriage staggered and arrived at Pang's house.

In front of the Pang Mansion, there were many carriages, and the ladies and ladies who were richly dressed gathered together in twos and threes, chatting about family routines.

There are also some young men, but most of them are women, and the men are also avoided.

Mrs. Pang Li is a middle-aged woman with a plump figure.

At this time, he was standing in front of the door, greeting the ladies and ladies.

The men were greeted by Pang Yulang, the second son of Mrs. Pang.

When Mrs. Pang saw Liu and Zhou Rongyin, she immediately saluted.

"Courtesy Pang Li knocks on the princess."

Hearing Pang Li say this, the people around him all saluted.

After Zhou Rongyin finished saluting, he stepped forward enthusiastically and helped Mrs. Pang with his own hands.

"Mrs. Pang is so polite, please hurry up."

After speaking, he looked at everyone again, and said with a smile on his face: "Everyone, hurry up, today the palace is here to participate in the chrysanthemum banquet held by Mrs. Pang, how did you steal the limelight of the master's family, everyone said yes." ”

Although these ladies see Zhou Rongyin at the chrysanthemum banquet every year, they have never interacted, and they only think that Zhou Rongyin has excellent manners and behavior, and she is worthy of being a princess.

Speaking kung fu, Zhou Jingya also came.

Out of Zhou Rongyin, the three of them were in their group, and the rest of them just got up and wanted to salute Zhou Jingya again.

"The courtiers (courtiers) have seen the lord of Jingya."

Zhou Jingya glanced at everyone, so she was not arrogant.

In the blink of an eye, he saw that the three of them did not salute, and they were about to open their mouths to ask for their guilt. took a closer look and found that it was Zhou Rongyin.

Zhou Rongyin is a princess, and she is just a grandmaster and county lord. Zhou Jingya couldn't be sloppy, and stepped forward to salute Zhou Rongyin again.

Then he called the people up.

Those ladies, who are not the housewives, are in charge of the entire backyard, and when they saw Zhou Jingya's arrogant appearance just now, they all sneered in their hearts.

This Zhou Jingya is just relying on her identity as the county lord, so domineering.

Zhou Jingya, who suffered losses at the hands of Zhou Rongyin and Rouge not long ago, didn't dare not be polite to them.

In the past, Zhou Jingya and Zhou Rongyin had never had a relationship, just a nodding friendship.

Since Rouge was brought back by the butler of the Chu family, Zhou Rongyin came to ask for the crime, and the royal momentum scared Zhou Jingya very much.

After a brief greeting between the two, Mrs. Pang greeted warmly.

"Everyone is a distinguished guest, everyone should not be at the door, they all go in, the chrysanthemums in the courtyard are blooming, very beautiful."

Everyone walked into the courtyard again.

Rouge listened to Zhou Rongyin's words and followed the two of them closely.

Even if Chu Jingting was unwilling, she had to follow Zhou Jingya.

Chu Wentao saw the acquaintance, and went to the place where the male guest was on the side.

Because it is a border place, it is not as strict as in the capital, and the men and women are not so tightly guarded.

There is only a barrier between the male and female guests.

Mrs. Pang really loves chrysanthemums very much, and the yard is full of chrysanthemums, especially yellow chrysanthemums.

There is no shortage of chrysanthemums of other colors in the courtyard.

It was late autumn, the weather was getting cooler, and a slight breeze was blowing.

The chrysanthemums in the courtyard are swaying in the wind, and there is a fragrance of chrysanthemums in the nose.

Mrs. Pang ordered her subordinates to bring all kinds of snacks and tea.

"Everybody try these dim sums, these dim sums are made of chrysanthemums, let's see if they fit the taste. In addition, the tea in front of this is also made of chrysanthemums in the courtyard. ”

Everyone picked up the snacks on the table and tasted them.

Rouge also tasted a piece, but I just felt that the taste was average.

At this time, some of the ladies who had already finished tasting began to speak.

"Mrs. Pang, it's really ingenious, this pastry made of chrysanthemums is delicate and delicious."

"Yes, when you eat it, there is a faint chrysanthemum flavor, and the dim sum is chrysanthemum-like, which is really exquisite."

Rouge didn't understand why someone would praise dim sum that tasted so ordinary.

and whispered to Liu's beside him.

"Grandmother, this dim sum tastes average, why do they say that this dim sum is delicious?"

This kind of banquet is originally a relationship, and Liu is happy to explain it to Rouge.

"Rouge, there must be a reason why they say this ordinary dim sum tastes good. Look at them, although they are richly dressed, they are worse than Mrs. Napang. ”

Rouge took a closer look and nodded.

"Yes, grandmother, the materials they wear and the jewelry they wear on their heads are good, but they are still a little worse than Mrs. Napang."

"Although Mrs. Pang only had a bun on her head and wore a few simple hair crowns, and the clothes on her body were not very bright, but if you looked closely, the hair crown was white jade, and the clothes were also embroidered with gold and silver threads."

After Rouge heard Zhou Rongyin's words, he took a closer look, and Guiran was like this.

Zhou Rongyin continued to speak.

At first glance, Mrs. Pang looks dressed elegantly, but it echoes her preference for chrysanthemums, a noble personality that does not seek fame and fortune. If you look closely, you can see that the dress is indeed simple and luxurious. ”

Rouge now knows.

"Those ladies are on the side, if it weren't for their husbands and nephews being on errands under the command of Mrs. Pang's father-in-law, or they had something to ask Mrs. Pang, right?"

Liu didn't speak, just smiled.

After listening to Rouge's words, Zhou Rongyin nodded with satisfaction.

Rouge who is bored thinks about poetry contest when will it start.

I heard Mrs. Pang, who was sitting on the main seat, speak.

"Today's chrysanthemum banquet, and in previous years slightly different, this year a new project has been added, all of you are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, today, or you ladies will show their talents. Can? ”

After speaking, he walked in front of Zhou Rongyin again and asked for Rongyin's opinion.

Rong Yin didn't have any opinion and said.

"Mrs. Pang is really a clever person, and Mrs. Pang will do what she says."

Rong Yin opened her mouth, and Zhou Jingya also smiled and said, "The princess said yes, how can we say no?" Everyone said yes. ”

All the people present echoed the words.

"Yes."

After Mrs. Pang got Rong Yin's approval, she whispered to the maids around her to prepare something.

"In that case, I'll talk about the rules. We are all young ladies who come to show their talents, but in the end, there should also be prizes, so I have a white jade bracelet here, and the first place will be rewarded with this white jade bracelet, what do you think? ”

The white jade bracelet in Pang Li's hand is in excellent condition, and the water head is also very good, which is a good thing.
