Chapter 29 Preparations

Xu Xiangchu stood on the tower of the Qi Palace, looking at the corner of the Qi Palace, where civil engineering was being built.

Shen Xianliang asked to rebuild the palace of Qi, and he agreed.

He allowed it because the military officials in the court were all in favor of this matter.

Their approval is for the old master.

The old lord has gone to Changjing and has been the master of the world for twelve years, twelve years is enough to change with each passing day, and the old land of Qi that the old lord has been in charge of must of course have a new look, how can it still be an old scene?

The rebuilding of the palace is to set an example for the entire Qi country and even the entire Great Zhou: it is no longer the appearance of the first emperor when he was in power, and now His Majesty has been in the dynasty for 12 years, the country is rich and the people are strong, and it is time to enjoy it appropriately.

Therefore, he must be accurate, and he must be accurate.

A cold wind blew through the city tower, he sneezed, and the eunuch Feng Ji hurriedly took the cloak and put it on him, and said, "King, it's autumn, it's cold, let's go to the house." ”

Feng Ji didn't finish speaking, and King Qi coughed a few times in a row.

"The slave maid went to ask the imperial doctor ......"

King Qi waved his hand: "Don't get in the way, lonely body, don't you know?" It's an old problem. ”

Hearing this, Feng Ji's eyes turned red with distress, "If it is decided today, the king should treat the disease well." ”

The world is decided, which does not mean that Changjing's heart is decided.

King Qi took Feng Ji's hand and walked down the city tower and walked back to the palace.

In the hall, Dan Feng was already waiting there.

Feng Ji took off his cloak for King Qi and retreated, leaving only two people in the palace.

King Qi walked to the back of the long case and sat down, and Dan Feng stepped forward and waited respectfully for a reply.

King Qi looked at him with a smile in his eyes, and he also brought a trace of the love of the elders to the juniors, although the age of the two was not much different.

"Tell me, there's something lively in the capital."

Dan Feng said: "The noble ladies of the Qi family are preparing to go to a banquet, the banquet is held by the late Wang Situ's family, the Wang family has two daughters-in-law, one is related to the wife of the Qing family, and the other is the eldest daughter of Sikong Lord Shen Xianliang, so this banquet Qing Dafu and Xu Shaoye, as well as Shen Sikong and his sons will go, so it is not a simple banquet for the female dependents, most of the old men and sons of the Qi family will go......"

King Qi listened quietly and said quietly: "That Lone, go too." ”

Dan Feng was taken aback.

King Qi threw a document on the long case to him: "The one in Changjing said that Lone should marry, let Lone pick a desirable noble Qi girl, and he will marry Lone." ”

Dan Feng's hand holding the paperwork tightened.

The news that King Qi was going to attend the royal banquet soon spread outside the palace, and the entire Qi capital exploded.

The Wang family was caught off guard.

Li Yueshu never imagined that he would have such a beautiful moment in his life, and he would hold such a highest-level banquet, and the guest of honor who came to the banquet was actually King Qi, what a glorious thing?

Mrs. Wang was worried that Li Yueshu would not mess up this first-class glorious thing, so she no longer sat in the courtyard of the house, but joined the preparation team in person.

It was Shen Changping and Xia Liyun before, who were already in the way, and now there is a Mrs. Wang, which makes Li Yueshu very depressed.

Fortunately, the Li family also sent more people over, and Weng Yirui and Weng Ce simply lived in the Wang family.

Inside and out, there are so many things to prepare, Weng Ce and Li Yueshu simply met a few times, and after saying a few words, they also looked like they were doing business.

Weng Ce is a shrewd person, and his contact with Li Yueshu did not show any horses, and even his eyes were quite rusty.

Li Yueshu and Weng Ce are both very capable of pretending, but Xia Liyun is not good, when the crowd saw Weng Ce from a distance, his hands and feet trembled, not to mention that he was doing things, and he couldn't even stand.

Shen Changping sent her back to Renhoutang, and as soon as she arrived in the house, she grabbed Shen Changping and cried.

Shen Changping asked her: "Was it that Weng Ce who assisted Li Yueshu in harming you that day?" ”

Xia Liyun cried and nodded, and couldn't even speak.

Shen Changping said: "You don't show your feet in front of the prime minister, otherwise your affairs will be revealed sooner or later, and then you will pretend to be sick and don't get involved." ”

Shen Changping instructed Xia Liyun, and then he found an opportunity to meet Na Weng Ce.

In this banquet, in addition to the activities of pot throwing, horse racing, lake swimming, and games, chrysanthemum appreciation is an important activity.

Weng Yirui handed over the task of purchasing chrysanthemums to Weng Ce.

Weng Yirui is a teacher in the official school, how could the Li family send him to assist Li Yueshu in organizing a banquet?

Whoever the Li family sent, in fact, it was all through the Li family's nod.

Although this Weng Yirui is a petty official, he is the most thoughtful and stable person, has first-class coordination skills, and is best at holding banquets and other activities.

Li knows what he is good at, and he can be regarded as knowing how to make good use of people.

With Weng Yirui in Wangjia Town, even if Li Yueshu is stupid, and everyone in the Wang family is stupid, the Li family is not afraid that something will go wrong.

It's a pity that Weng Yirui was born in a small family, and he couldn't go further in his career, but he was also very clear about his position, contented and happy, in front of a petty official, leading Yulu, but he could drill some contacts and pave the way for the younger generations in the Weng family as much as possible.

The Weng family, at present, can have a little future, and it is the nephew of the family, Weng Ce.

Therefore, when the Wang family organized a banquet this time, Weng Yirui specially brought Weng Ce as a helper.

In Weng Yirui's eyes, Weng Ce's nephew is shrewd, capable, and discerning, and he is a malleable talent.

Before coming, Weng Yirui specially explained to Weng Ce, it is necessary to do this errand well, and he can show his face in front of the Li family when he turns back.

The timing of the banquet coincides with autumn, and autumn chrysanthemum viewing is an indispensable program.

Purchasing ornamental chrysanthemums is not a simple matter.

These guests who came to the banquet were all princes and nobles of the family in Qidu, and now there is also King Qi, they have never seen any rare and valuable things on weekdays, and ordinary varieties of chrysanthemums can not enter their eyes.

If you don't choose the right variety of chrysanthemum, it will become a joke.

Most of the common chrysanthemums are yellow chrysanthemums, and ordinary people can also put a few pots in their homes, so Weng Ce specially collected chrysanthemums with rare colors, such as green peonies with a similar flower type and green peony in color, which is as green as jade when flowering.

Another example is the green cloud, not only the flower color is slightly green, but even the branches are green, and the outer petals will extend downward when flowering, like a colored cloud.

There is also a dark purple chrysanthemum, which looks like a lotus flower when it first blooms, and when it is in full bloom, the petals are rolled up, black and red, and the flower color is like ink, which is particularly rare.

Again, snow beads and red plums. The flower color is light purplish-red, and the outer petals are long, which makes it look very draped. The variety is precious, and it takes a lot of effort to grow.

The sandalwood-colored mane of Buddha dust is also a treasure, and the petals are thin and silky, standing upright or fluttering, looking fluffy.

Weng Ce looked at the pots of chrysanthemums placed on the shelves, showed a satisfied smile, and when his eyes fell on a piece of light yellow chrysanthemums, he couldn't help frowning, and said to the little guy on the side: "What's the matter?" Didn't you say, don't you want yellow chrysanthemums? Yellow chrysanthemums are all over the street, what's the catch? Hurry up and get out—"

Weng Ce's voice fell, and a girl's voice sounded: "This is the willow moon of West Lake, the flower color is pure, the flower body is plump, and it is very popular with chrysanthemum admirers." I suggest, or stay. ”

Weng Ce looked for prestige, but saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old woman, wearing a Yingluo on her neck, an arm on her hand, a jade pendant on the palace silk around her waist, and Huasheng on her forehead.
