Ye Xiaoyan asked, "Who are you going to invite?" ”

Nangong Chen said: "All the imperial brothers and sisters, officials above the third rank in the court, generals in the army, and some friends, probably that's all!" ”

Ye Xiaoyan thought for a while and said, "My current identity is inconvenient to help you handle it. You better ask Jiang Manrong to help you! ”

"Third sister-in-law!" Nangong Chen's pleading tone: "You have a lot of guys here, and you are doing food, I think it is most suitable for you to help me do it!" ”

"If you want a guy and a dish, I can provide it, but the host arrangement is still suitable for Jiang Manrong. Hasn't she held a 'Talent Girl Club' before, she has experience! ”

Nangong looked at Ye Xiaoyan and suddenly felt a little sad in his heart. She was his wife, and she went wherever he went. The two of them went to the front hall together and went to the royal family banquet together. No matter where you go, he is King Xuan, she is Princess Xuan, and her name is justified. Today, except for a few insiders, no one knows that she is his wife.

Nangong Chen begged: "Third sister-in-law, you can help me!" Although the second emperor's sister-in-law had run the 'Talent Girls Club', she had been preparing for the 'Talent Girls Club' for a long time. Whether you open Baiwei Building or open a food street, you will open it in three clicks and two clicks, if you change to the second emperor's sister-in-law, she may not be able to open it for more than half a year. ”

Ye Xiaoyan shook her head and said: "The housewarming banquet of the Prince's Mansion is invited to the royal family and the ministers of the court, I am a commoner, nothing, without any identity, it is not appropriate for me to help you handle it." ”

"Third sister-in-law......" Nangong Chen pursed her mouth, and then looked at Nangong You with a pleading gaze.

Nangong You asked Nangong Chen: "There is no housekeeper in your house?" Or is it the housekeeper? ”

"The housekeeper hasn't yet. Mama Yu, who was next to my mother, followed me out of the palace, and she is currently taking care of the affairs of the house. I'm in the barracks most of the time now, and I rarely go back to the house, so there aren't many servants in the house. ”

Nangong Yu said: "That's it! Mama Yu came forward, and then Yan'er taught her what to do behind her back. Saying that, he turned his head to look at Ye Xiaoyan: "What do you think?" ”

Ye Xiaoyan laughed dryly: "She is a senior old lady in the palace, how can I teach her to do things." ”

"Mama Yu is not old," Nangong Yu said, "I know her." She was the nurse of the fourth emperor brother when she was a child, and later did not leave the palace and stayed by Ye Guifei's side. ”

Saying this, Ye Xiaoyan seems to have an impression. In Ye Wanyan's memory, when Ye Guifei and Nangong Chen returned to Ye Mansion, they took an elderly grandmother with them, and that person was Nangong Chen's nurse and the daughter-in-law of a housekeeper in Ye Mansion. In my impression, the grandmother was not smiling, and she looked very difficult to get close to.

However, this is Ye Wanyan's memory. In Ye Wanyan's memory, there are few people who are amiable to her. Except for Mama Dong and Xing'er.

Nangong Chen said: "Yes, yes, third sister-in-law, it will be Mama Yu who will come forward, and you tell her what to do." All the subordinates in my house will be sent by you, and if they dare to disobey, I will immediately break his leg and drive him out of the house. ”

Ye Xiaoyan sighed: "Why do you have to look for me!" ”

"Third sister-in-law, my third sister-in-law, I have no one to look for except you." Fly Lu

"Isn't there still your second sister-in-law?"

"I'm not close to the second sister-in-law, and her ability to do things is not as strong as yours. Besides, there's still Concubine De there. Things in the palace, although they seem to be harmonious on the surface, but in fact, the queen's mother, Concubine De's mother, and my mother are not as good as they seem on the surface. ”

Although Ye Xiaoyan doesn't know what the relationship between several ladies in the palace is, she also knows with her toes that if several women serve a husband together, the relationship can be better.

Ye Xiaoyan asked, "How many people are there in your house?" ”

Nangong Chen said: "In addition to Mama Yu, there are three others in my house. There were about seven or eight of the others. A dozen or so in total! ”

Ye Xiaoyan said to Nangong You: "Ask Steward Zhou and Mama Rong to bring the people of Xuanwang Mansion to help!" In addition, I have to find dozens of maids who know the rules of etiquette. Although there are many guys in Nanyuan, they don't understand the rules and etiquette of the eunuchs. At that time, it will be the princes and princesses and the public in the court, if they accidentally collide, it will not be good. ”

When Nangong Chen heard Ye Xiaoyan's meaning, he agreed, and hurriedly said, "Or, borrow the guy from the Baiwei Building with Duan Haoran?" Those people have all been trained in the Xuanwang Mansion, and they should be fine. ”

Ye Xiaoyan said with a smile: "Why don't you just feast and let Baiwei Lou take care of it." ”

Nangong Chen hurriedly waved his hand: "The dishes in Baiweilou are too expensive, I can't afford to ask for them." The banquet is still arranged by the third sister-in-law. ”

Ye Xiaoyan quipped: "The dishes in Baiweilou are expensive, and the snacks in Nanyuan Food Street are cheap. Then should I arrange a snack feast for you according to the snacks on the food street? ”

"Yes." Nangong Chen said casually.

Ye Xiaoyan thought about it carefully, don't say it, it's really okay. If it is a table banquet, hundreds of people's dishes are served at the same time, not to mention what the kitchen has to be busy, how many maids are needed, and it is a lot of waste just because it is "difficult to reconcile". You must know that the formal table banquet in this palace and the royal family is a small square table for one person or two people, not a large round table for eight people or a table for ten people in folk and rich families.

It's better to make a buffet-style, which is not wasted, and everyone can eat whatever they want. Moreover, the point of the housewarming banquet is not that everyone goes to the new mansion to go shopping, and everyone gets together to congratulate. If it is a birthday banquet or wedding banquet, then it is really necessary to set up a formal banquet and have a formal ceremony, which is in line with the etiquette in everyone's hearts.

Ye Xiaoyan said: "Then put it in a buffet style, in this way, there is no need for so many maids, forty or so is enough." ”

"Buffet? What is it? Nangong Chen didn't understand very well.

Nangong You also looked at Ye Xiaoyan curiously. At the same time, he was full of pride. His Yan'er is the most capable, and no one can compare.

Ye Xiaoyan roughly explained to them what a buffet is. said: "Maybe there are still many people who are not used to it and will not take the initiative to get the vegetables themselves, so the role of the maid is mainly to help them get the vegetables." However, I estimate that after taking it once or twice, some people will take the initiative to get it themselves. ”

Ye Xiaoyan suddenly remembered that these people usually bring maids and entourage when they go out, but they usually go to a house for a banquet, and the host's family will arrange a special courtyard for these maids to wait here. They generally do not go into the main house with their masters.

Ye Xiaoyan said: "It just so happens that there are not many maids in your house, this banquet, you simply let the maids and entourage of those guests also enter the main courtyard with them, and they each serve their respective masters, so that you don't even have to go to Baiwei Lou to borrow their waiters!" ”
