In the long run, the eunuch family in Beijing, especially the female dependents, will inevitably talk about the sweet and sour wedge peaches when they talk about the Zhongxing Uncle's Mansion.

Listening to Hewan's straightforward words, Wu carried Hewan forward, she was also a cheerful and neat person, and she also spoke bluntly at this time.

"What should I do, it was because of the fruit at home that I was fortunate enough to invite the county lord to come over, and I will take the county lord over, but this fruit has not been able to bear less fruit this year, but I don't know if it can meet the needs of the county lord."

As soon as the word please, Mother Qi, who had always had a solemn face beside the county lord of Hewan, also softened a lot, Wu is very good at being a person.

After the guests and hosts of Zhongxing Bofu had a good time, the hour was not early, and the county lord of Hewan County naturally returned with a full load.

On the other side, the Jiuzhang Palace, which has been silent on Xuanwu Street for many years, is also very lively at this time.

In the palace of the prince of the ninth chapter, when the sky was bright, I saw the maids and women in the mansion walking around and busy.

There is no other reason, but the little master of this mansion, the county lord of Chang'an, has finally returned from returning to Nancheng.

Steward Qi has been very happy since he saw the little county lord who came back from the palace yesterday, and he didn't close his eyes much all night.

Before dawn, he shouted that the people in the house were running around to decorate, so it was not lively.

No, it's starting again.

"Dim Sum, is the snack in the kitchen ready?"

This is a newly hired pastry chef who spent a lot of money, and it just so happens that the little master comes back to taste the taste, if it is not in line with the taste of the little master, he also plans to invite the pastry master of Yunan Mansion to come to Beijing again.

"This yard has been repaired in advance, so there should be no peculiar smell."

The person who ordered him said to himself, but then he seemed to feel really uneasy, so he said to his subordinates, "Then go to the flower room and move some newly cultivated flowers and plants to the yard." ”

"The tea in the county lord's courtyard must pass through the folded spring water, arrange for someone to watch it carefully, don't go wrong."

"Take a closer look, check carefully, as long as there is heavy incense in the palace, it will be removed."

The old man who was chattering and commanding, although he had gray temples and silver hair up close, his spirit was excellent.

His voice was also very loud, and while he repeated commands, he flipped through the booklets in his hand and replied to the words of the stewards and grandmothers everywhere.

"By the way, the grass and trees in the house have to be changed, and the movements are sharper!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't know what he suddenly remembered, and he felt that it was inappropriate, for fear that the people below would not be careful, so he hurriedly said, "Be plain, don't put all the big red and purple on the table!" ”

When the princess was alive, she liked flowers, regardless of color, and liked to collect them in the house.

Therefore, there are many flowers in the palace, and there are all kinds of flowers, and the princess once always said that the best scenery is the best scenery.

The little county lord is different, although she has never talked about it, but although his old man is old, his eyes have not yet spent, and this bit of vision is still there.

The county lord doesn't like those colorful flowers and plants.

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but want to go to all parts of the backyard to see, the furnishings were cleaner.

Thinking about it, the old butler walked to the backyard.

Later, he was finally stopped by his godson Qi Heng, who knew him very well, and Qi Heng was just sent by him to see the garden behind him.

"Father-in-law, it's still early now, the county lord is still resting, you can just work in the front yard, but don't go to the backyard to disturb her quiet!"

At that time, the front yard and backyard of the people's homes were no longer as heavily guarded by men and women as they were in the Zhou Dynasty.

The founding emperor of the following dynasty came from the Jinling clan.

Jinling has always produced romantic characters, and has been written into the pen by countless literati and ink writers since then, in addition to being free and easy, there is also casual freedom.

Some things are engraved in the bones.

For example, the culture of a city, or the backbone of a family, or even the subtlety of a dynasty.

As the years go by, it slowly becomes more and more profound, and it also becomes more and more dynamic.

Zhou etiquette is rigid, distinct, the next is different, in the mansion of ordinary people in this dynasty, except for the male owner of the mansion, there is nothing wrong with the rest of the men in the mansion going in and out of the front and back yards.

Steward Qi thought about it, and looked at the sky again, in the early years, when the prince was still there, because he was a person who practiced martial arts, he always got up early.

The habit of the prince since he was a child is to go to the martial arts training ground to practice for an hour before returning to the main room for breakfast, and the princess is also accustomed to the prince's routine after marrying into the palace.

So he forgot for a while that the one who lives in the house now is the little master who is not very good.

At this hour, his little master is resting.

Thinking about it, he sent Qi Heng out again to find some things that the official lady and lady used to pass the time on.

In the palace, the prince's palace naturally has all kinds of good things.

But the prince said that when the county lord was a child, whenever he came into the palace to bring her some gadgets bought from the market, she would always be very happy.

Thinking of this, Steward Qi couldn't help but smile, and then decisively turned around and walked forward.

Qi Heng, who stayed behind him, looked at the sky, helpless.

At this hour, how many shops on the street are open?

On the other hand, his father-in-law, who had hardly stopped that morning, had ordered him to go out to buy things, and his old man continued to be busy like a spinning top.

"Let the people in the needlework room send all the newly made clothes to the county lord's courtyard, and if there is an inappropriate time, change it in time, and don't miss the Fanghua banquet."

Although the county lord's costume at the Fanghua banquet must have been prepared by the eldest princess in advance, it did not delay the old man's worries.

The eight embroiderers in the sewing room are all veteran craftsmen invited from Yuhang, and more than half of them are from Linlang Pavilion.

In the early years, the embroidery of the embroidery lady in Yuhang was the favorite of the ladies and ladies, among which the seven embroiderers of the Linlang Pavilion were the most excellent.

Later, the four embroidery girls of Linlang Pavilion were summoned to Luoshui Palace, and then they were sent to the Jiuzhang Palace by the eldest princess, and they never appeared again.

At this point, the embroidery of Linlang Pavilion is even more priceless.

This time, the little county lord returned to the house, and the palace also specially greeted him, and the palace clothes worn by the county lord at the Fanghua banquet had been prepared, and the hairpin ring and other things were handed over to these embroidery girls to take care of.

Later, Steward Qi thought, anyway, he did it, so he might as well do more.

Anyway, the county lord has grown up, and where is there anyone in the girl's family who doesn't like to wear new clothes, so he asked the people in the needlework room to make a few more clothes for the county lord of his family.

Just as Steward Qi was busy in front of him, he saw his godson running towards him in a hurry, and before he could reprimand, Qi Heng hurriedly intercepted him.

"Father-in-law, the old lady of Uncle Zhongxing's Mansion is here!"

"It's not dawn yet, why did the old lady come, what happened?"

Qi Heng didn't know whether to be glad to his father-in-law, his old man had been tossing all morning, and still remembered the sky at this time, or whether he should remind his father-in-law to go to greet the old lady first.

Fortunately, Steward Qi, who has been taking care of a huge palace for more than ten years, reacted very quickly.

"What are you doing here! Prepare refreshments to welcome the old lady to the backyard, and call the county lord. ”

With that, he hurried away to meet the old lady.

Although the front yard was busy, there was not the slightest movement in the backyard of the palace at this time.

It wasn't until the housekeeper in front sent someone to pass the word, and after listening to Xin, he entered the master bedroom with a difficult face, opened the curtain, and called softly.

"Your Highness, the old lady of the Zhongxing Bofu is here."

There was no response inside.

But even so, Sui Xin didn't dare to continue to speak.

Oh, and then my aunt heard a rustling sound in the room.

After a pause, she just led someone to push the door in, and the sound in her ears was the girl's clear voice.

"My grandmother is very old, and although she has a sweet tooth, my aunt needs to pay attention to preparing pastries."

When the aunt responded, the girl had lifted the curtain, took the handkerchief held by the next person, and the grooming action was very fast.

When Sihua put on her dress, she looked in the mirror and said to herself, "Use some lipstick." ”

Mu Changan didn't sleep well last night, so her complexion didn't look very good, and I heard that the old man had to worry about seeing it.

Sihua responded, helped the person to sit down and began to move, and waited beside her after her aunt sent the other servants to retreat, and at this time she couldn't stop smiling when she heard the girl's words.

The girl's family began to know that it was always good to dress up for herself.

"Can you send all the posts for the Fanghua Banquet?"

"It's all delivered, and all the big people in the capital have been sent to the mansion of the three grades or above." After speaking, he added, "County Lord, do you think there is anything else that needs to be added?" ”

"Five products."

Sui Xin didn't react for a while, "You said that the fourth-grade and fifth-grade officials' mansions also sent posts?" ”

The words also reacted a little with Xin, but he still couldn't control his blurt out.

"But in previous years, there was no such practice."

The eldest princess handed over the preparations for the Fanghua banquet to the county lord, which was a great honor in Sui Xin's opinion.

This son doesn't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at the palace.

So she did everything with all her heart, for fear that something would go wrong, that is, the usual pastries at the banquet, she compared them one by one.

When she heard this suddenly, she was suddenly a little overwhelmed.

Chang'an looked at Aunt Sui with a sad face in the mirror, and her eyebrows softened slightly.

"Don't worry, there was no such case before, but now there will be."

"Yes, the slave knows." Her words are always reassuring, even if they often make people ignore her age.

"Auntie, go."

"Then the slave and maid went down first and prepared."

It is not a simple matter to add so many more people than before, and it is necessary to understand the origin of the female relatives of each family, whether there are any mistakes and omissions in the actions of the clans and relatives who come and go.

In all dynasties, the exchanges between dignitaries and nobles pay attention to a decent person, especially the nobles of Tianhuang.

If you let some dirty things that stain the eyes of the nobles into the banquet, none of them will be able to escape.

Working under royalty has never been an easy task.

So this post, not everyone can get it.

"Auntie, slow."

When Aunt Sui stopped when she heard the voice, Mu Changan said: "Inform the young general that Yingqu will secretly send an envoy to Beijing and arrive in Beijing in seven days." ”

"Whoa."

Sui Xin bowed down and said, but he was still a little shocked, and the barbarian people acted like ten years of non-etiquette.
