Chapter 22: Pre-Conference Preparations

Due to the success of yesterday's tasting, tomorrow's reception banquet will be fully handed over to Xia Chuxin. According to the words of the old princess, it is like this: For the sake of you still have some clever ideas, I will also give you a chance to serve the princess's mansion, and tomorrow will be the prince and young master of the capital,

Don't say that my mother-in-law is harsh, doesn't this also make you, the young lady, take care of herself in advance.

Look, this old lady is very good at talking. Tut-tut, I can't help but praise you.

Gladly accepted. Xia Chuxin has changed and become the head of banquet planning, and now everyone in the house must obey his own dispatch. Everything you do has to look like it.

Draw up a banquet process, then arrange the executives in each process, and then let the executives each prepare the required items. Full participation and full mobilization is the most efficient way of working.

First of all, the choice of site: there is a grassland in the north of Lanxi Pavilion, which was originally a place for summer duo to put paper kites to play polo in the summer heart, and then the two gradually grew up and lost this fun, so it has been empty, the gardener sprinkled some unknown flower seeds into the grassland, did not take care of it, and now it is unintentionally planted willows, and the whole grassland is full of clusters of flowers, red, yellow, pink, blue, I don't know how good-looking.

It's just that it's inappropriate to let a group of sons and brothers eat and drink in this wilderness, how can Xia Chuxin abandon his rain pavilion project at such a moment? The workers were asked to build a huge pergola on the pasture, with the glass on the top, and three waterwheels working at the same time, and a huge rain pavilion was completed. From a distance, it looks like a waterfall from the sky pouring into this sea of flowers.

The girls who participated in the operation looked at this finished rain pavilion and closed their mouths in surprise. From time to time, there were remarks in the crowd like "Second Miss is really amazing". Xia Chuxin coughed lightly a few times, and the joy blossomed in his heart, but his face was silent.

Then it's time to make a big move and install the rotating hot pot system that was rushed out. Everyone watched together, I don't know what this is, Xia Chuxin was busy directing the craftsmen to install it, and after a while, a circular rotating teleportation table was installed. It's just that I really can't think of a way to make the hand-cranked device become an automatic power, so I can only grieve a few housekeepers to shake the handle after serving.

In the middle of the ring table, a small fountain is set up by the housekeeper, and the clear spring gushes out and eats hot pot will be much cooler. For the Jinghua Yuan Bingjian that he has been thinking about for a long time, he can finally start justifiably this time, and he asked the girl to put some fashionable melon jelly into it early, and the master of the dining room prepared a lot of freshly squeezed juice and froze it together. In this way, I look forward to eating hot pot and drinking cold drinks!

Still busy at the scene, a burst of fragrance hit him, Xia Chuxin raised his head and saw that it was a superb and beautiful woman, but there was a trace of heroism between the woman's eyebrows, which made people feel a little cold, and the woman was followed by six or seven equally young and beautiful beauties.

The woman bowed down and said, "Bai Shunyu, the slave maid dance and music club, and the sisters have seen the second young lady. ”

Dance Band? What is that?

"Oh, you're looking for me?" Xia Chuxin asked.

Bai Shunyu continued: "The slave maid came over to ask the second lady, whether the program of tomorrow's banquet is still as before, if there is any change, the slave maid should ask the sisters to prepare as soon as possible." ”

Oh, it turned out to be a song and dance troupe in the house. I didn't expect that the people raised by this princess's mansion are multifaceted. Rich people really enjoy it.

"What do you guys do you have in the past? You also know that I have only been a second lady for a few days, and I haven't had a chance to see you perform before, so I'll listen to you. ”

Bai Shunyu didn't expect this young second lady to say such a thing, so she felt a little less worried in her heart, and said: "In the past, it was just a few dances and two or three songs, and a few sisters played some tunes. ”

The beauties are singing, dancing and playing live. It's clearly a classical singing and dancing troupe with good looks UP UPUP. There is no reason to waste such a good resource.

followed a few people to the dance and music workshop, and hummed their favorite "Canon" to Bai Shunyu a few times, this beauty is really talented and intelligent, and she can play it on the guzheng in a short time, and join the pipa and flute ensemble.

After a song, everyone woke up like a dream.

"What kind of tune is this? It's so good, I've never heard it before. The woman in colorful clothes on the side said.

"yes, it's a really nice song." The crowd agreed.

Bai Shunyu got up and said, "I don't know which famous artist composed this song?" It's very different from what we used to play. ”

"Oh, I've heard this for a long time, and I've forgotten where I heard it for a long time." Xia Chuxin was sloppy, did he tell them that this was created by Pahebel?

then hummed "Sword Like a Dream", which he had loved for many years, and Bai Shunyu quickly composed a song, and it was accompanied by folk music throughout the whole process. The two worked together seamlessly. I don't know if it's because of the worship of this kind of genius, Xia Chuxin suddenly fell in love with this cold beauty.

There are songs played, and then there are dances, these water-sleeved dances may have been seen by the princes and young masters of every family, so I will give you something different.

The hairstyles of several girls were changed to high ponytails, and the light dancing gowns on their bodies were re-transformed into delicate and close-fitting neat dresses. A few people don't know why, but look at each other.

"Which of you dances the best?"

Several people looked at Bai Shunyu in unison. Xia Chuxin turned his head and was not shocked when he saw Bai Shunyu's face, and sighed that powerful people are always so calm. It's not like I can't do anything, when I first went to college, I was called to sing on stage because of the incomplete pentatonic tone, and I squirmed and pinched for a long time, but after I went up, I attracted a burst of laughter.

Seeing a waist drum on the ground on the side of the room, he picked it up and tied it to his waist, hummed the rhythm of the water drum that he had secretly practiced for a long time, danced to the rhythm, and demonstrated it to Bai Shunyu. Bai Shunyu stared at her intently, and said that she had learned it after a while.

Although he has been practicing this encouragement for a long time, Xia Chuxin is very self-aware of his dancing ability in radio gymnastics, so he is also full of worries about Bai Shunyu's learning results.

The prelude sounded, guzheng, erhu, dizi, dulcimer, never expected that Chinese music would have such a distinct rhythm.

Bai Shunyu holds the hammer with both hands, standing in the middle, knock, a drum sounds, a fan, a hand and a foot, from the beginning of the slightly stiff to the later gradually better, the drum sound is thick and long, a song with a very explosive and rhythmic sense of encouragement is natural.

At the end of the music, Bai Shunyu finished dancing, and there was a sudden applause of "pop" at the door. The face like a spring breeze made Xia Chuchu's jaw drop.

Bai Shunyu turned his head and saw that it was Xia Duo, he just nodded, and said to the women behind him, "How many of you are optimistic?" ”

The men nodded.

No way? I still have to learn radio gymnastics for two months, and your unforgettable skills are simply a naked humiliation of me, Xia Chuxin said in his heart.

"Shun Yu, is this your new dance? It's a novelty. Xia Duo said.

Bai Shunyu turned around, still with an indifferent face, pointing to this Xia Chuxin and said, "It was taught by the second young lady." ”

Xia Duo found Xia Chuxin standing on the side, glanced at her, turned his face into a smile, and said, "When will she dance?" It's not that you're smart. ”

Damn, why do you want to pull me as cannon fodder? This question seems to know you more about me, how do you know that my aunt and grandmother can't dance? However, such a summer duo is rare, and it seems that this cold young master is also sad to pass the beauty pass. It's just that our cold white girl doesn't seem to care at all.

Hey, asking what is the situation in the world, in fact, it is one thing to one thing!!

When I was still watching the rehearsal, the housekeeper hurriedly came over, and said that the lights and fireworks at night had been prepared, and asked the second lady to go over to watch the trial effect.

Saying goodbye to Bai Shunyu, I was about to go out when I heard Bai Shunyu say: "If the son is fine, the slave and maid will not be sent far away, and everyone must hurry up and practice." ”

"I'll just stand on the side, and I won't bother you."

"There is a son here, everyone can't invest in it after all, and the slave and maid won't send it."

"Shun Yu, I don't speak, just stand here, no, I'll stand in that corner, I will definitely not disturb you."

"Slaves and maids are not sent."

"Well, well, I'll come back another day."

"No."

Hey, hey, Xia Chuxin almost held back his laughter and tears. Seeing Xia Duo come out of the door with a red face, Xia Chuxin followed closely behind him, and said, "Big brother, why don't I pull the strings between you and the white girl?" ”

Xia Duo suddenly froze and shouted, "I want you to do a lot of things." ”

After that, he turned around and left, leaving Xia Chuxin smiling in place. The housekeeper uncle finally endured the hard work and laughed.

The two of them arrived at the foyer in a short time, and the butler instructed him that the head of the gun shop had been waiting for a while. Xia Chuxin was quite shocked, this pomp is big, and the fireworks are still going to be tested? The housekeeper said that the share of the official artillery workshop has been distributed this month, and this is a newly opened artillery workshop, so it must be tried in advance in case something goes wrong at that time.

"Who will give the silver for the trial?"

The housekeeper said: "The silver for the trial release is half of the official one, and the gun shop has some preferential treatment." ”

"How much silver did you ask for at the official time? How much does it cost to test the tape? ”

The housekeeper made a simple calculation in his heart, and replied: "Officially, it is one hundred taels of silver, and fifty taels are put on the trial, a total of one hundred and fifty taels." ”

One hundred and fifty taels. I heard Liu Er and Ruan Er say that their monthly money is only five yuan of silver, which is only six taels a year, and a fireworks show costs one hundred and fifty taels, which is equivalent to two or three girls' money for a year. It's just extravagant. Xia Chuxin has always been in line with the people-oriented worldview, and nothing is more important than people.

No, no, no, with all this silver, it is better to give the girl a welfare, and besides, if the fireworks are of excellent quality, why do you need to test them?

Xia Chuxin said: "It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the princes who will come tomorrow, if there is anything wrong with your fireworks, it's not just one person who is unlucky." ”

The steward of the artillery workshop hurriedly knelt on the ground, and swore again and again: his fireworks and firecrackers are all first-class goods, there has never been a mistake, and he is willing to use his life as a guarantee.

Asked the housekeeper in a low voice that the money for the fireworks could be prepaid, and the housekeeper said that he had not yet paid it, but he had already paid it from the account office, and it was in his own hands. Xia Chuxin turned to the man in charge and said, "Your artillery workshop has recently opened, if something really happens, how can you afford this little life?" Uncle housekeeper, I see that this fireworks show is dispensable, and everyone will not say anything if it is canceled. ”

The housekeeper understood Xia Chuxin's thoughts, and continued: "But the old slave heard that the prince and several princes love to watch fireworks, and every time the princes make a banquet, they will prepare fireworks. ”

"But everyone is a prepared government-run artillery workshop, and we suddenly changed to such a newly opened artillery workshop, who knows if it will work."

At this point, even a fool in charge of the artillery workshop heard the clue, so he bowed down again and said: "Second Miss, the fireworks for this banquet are all small, not a penny, and the quality is guaranteed, so the princess and the young lady will not lose face." ”

The corners of Xia Chuxin's mouth rose, and he smiled slyly, and said: "Oh, then Du is not going to lose money, where can we pick up these cheap in the princess's mansion, let others listen to it, and think that we are overpowering people." ”

"No, no," Du hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It is Du's honor to be able to contribute to the princess's mansion." In the future, the palace or the house will have a banquet, and I hope that the second lady will be convenient. ”

"That's natural, don't worry."

Everything is ready to welcome your guests tomorrow!
