Chapter 68: She's in charge
"What do you say? Princess Wanqing's thank-you banquet will be held in the Shilang Mansion? When Xinlou's right hand went to Coriander to inquire about the news back, he was stunned at the moment.
She never thought that Gao Wanqing would hold a thank you banquet, and moreover, it would be held at Zhou's house! She couldn't understand why the emperor would agree to such an impudent request!
When Coriander saw that her girl reacted so much, she was stunned at the moment.
"Girl, what are you...... Why not? ”
Glancing at the courtyard where there was no one else, Xinlou wrinkled his brows slightly: "Don't have too much, no matter what Princess Wanqing says, it is also the princess of Qi Kingdom, if she really wants to thank anyone, this thank you banquet, she can choose to hold it at the post station, and she also chooses to hold it in the palace, no matter how bad it is, it can also be chartered an inn and held in the inn, but she chose to be in the Shilang Mansion!" ”
Gao Wanqing is the eldest princess of the Qi Kingdom, she is the person who is favored by Emperor Qi!
How does such a person think that he is so close to the courtiers of other countries?
Xinlou understood the truth in this, but Coriander didn't think of it.
He twisted his brows slightly, looked at the tea set on his table, and twisted his eyebrows.
This Gao Wanqing ...... Xinlou didn't know why, she always felt that she had something in her heart, and as for what it was, she didn't quite understand.
He twisted his brows slightly, and Xinlou was a little worried.
After a while, Zhou Shu'an came to Lanxin Courtyard.
I haven't seen her for a while, when I looked at Zhou Shu'an, Xinlou was still a little surprised, after looking at Zhou Shu'an for a while, Xinlou poured a cup of tea for her, and asked with a light smile: "Second cousin came here today, what's the matter with Xinlou?" ”
"How?" With a sneer, she glanced at Xinlou, Zhou Shu'an picked up the cup of tea that Xinlou poured for her, and looked at it carefully for a while before she asked, "Can't you come to my cousin's Lanxin Courtyard to sit if it's okay?" ”
This was said quite sharply, Xinlou's eyebrows moved slightly, looked at her, and shook his head casually with explanation: "The second cousin said that it was funny, the second cousin of Xinlou Lanxinyuan can come at any time, but ...... You don't come very often, but when you see it today, you feel a little surprised! ”
What did Zhou Shu'an mean by that, Xinlou actually understood, but when it comes to the ability to pretend to be stupid, she is quite good at it, Zhou Shu'an has the ability to speak so sharply, and she also has the ability to polish her words!
A little surprised Xinlou's answer, but when Zhou Shu'an couldn't say anything, she hooked her lips slightly, she said: "My cousin's ability to speak is really good, and I can't complain that Princess Wanqing is so good to her cousin. ”
Being so highly regarded by Princess Wanqing is not a good thing, Xinlou did want to slap that Gao Wanqing before, but in the process of her contact with Gao Wanqing, it was indeed too smooth, and it was a little smoother...... Not quite normal!
Before, because he was worried about too many things, Xinlou didn't think much about it, but now that Zhou Shu'an mentioned it, it seems to be ...... And so it really is!
Glancing at Zhou Shu'an, Xinlou immediately said: "Cousin is serious, the princess will be like this, I think it is more because I know my uncle's ability, she is more at ease to hold this banquet in Zhou's house, and she has no other intentions, if you say so, it is a little ...... Exaggeration! ”
Xinlou's mouth is quite good at talking, Zhou Shu'an was indeed a little surprised when he saw it today, but in the end, he was used to seeing the wind and clouds, Zhou Shu'an only moved his eyebrows slightly when he heard Xinlou's words, and nodded lightly at the moment.
"What my cousin said is very true!"
Shen Xinlou said it so clearly, it was impossible for Zhou Shu'an to deny what she said, if she denied it, it would be regarded as smearing her father, after taking a look at Xinlou, Zhou Shu'an didn't say anything more, and sat in Lanxin Courtyard for a while, then didn't do much, and left directly.
After Zhou Shu'an left, Coriander, who had not spoken much, was a little puzzled: "Girl, what do you say...... What are these two cousins here for? ”
After hearing Coriander's question, Xinlou smiled slightly: "Who knows?" ”
Yes, she doesn't know!
What Zhou Shu'an has always done is more incomprehensible, she doesn't quite understand Zhou Shu'an's thoughts and her thoughts, because, sometimes, Zhou Shu'an will do some abnormal actions, and the actions are so abnormal that she doesn't know how to describe them.
Looking at the gate of the courtyard, Xinlou wrinkled his brows and thought for a while, and then called out coriander.
Coriander didn't understand her girl's voice a little, under normal circumstances, the girl would say things directly, and like this, after calling her first, there were a few cases before she got to the point.
In response, Coriander immediately asked, "Girl, what's wrong?" ”
Glancing at the coriander, she signaled to someone at the gate of the courtyard, and when the coriander looked at the gate of the courtyard, she didn't see anything.
Just as he was about to ask something, he heard his own girl say directly: "You say...... Princess Wanqing's banquet three days later...... Who will be in charge of the house? ”
Coriander was a little surprised to hear her own girl's sudden question, but after thinking about her girl's question, she really couldn't guess who it would be, but that Uncle Guan was the head of the Zhou family, and if she thought about it, this matter should fall on her head!
Thinking like this, Coriander will naturally answer like this.
"It should be...... Mrs. Guan, right? ”
Hearing Coriander's answer, Xinlou just smiled faintly and didn't say anything more.
Gao Wanqing's banquet this time is equivalent to a hot potato, in terms of the general situation, or rather...... Any person with a little bit of brains will not take the initiative to take this matter.
In this week's house, Guan is a well-known human spirit, and she must have thought about the stakes better than anyone else, if she knew that it was a hot potato, she would definitely not take this matter!
As for the Qiu family...... Although she is a concubine, she is also a beautiful concubine, in the eyes of Xinlou, this Qiu family is not the kind of person who has a lot of brains, but ...... Her daughter has! In this case, Zhou Shu'an should not let her mother take on such a thing, even if she does it well, what awaits her will not necessarily be a reward.
And her second aunt, Meng Shi......
The second aunt has always been weak, and the pot that both the Guan family and the Qiu family are unwilling to take is very likely to fall on the Meng family.
Although Xinlou is wary of her third cousin, but for her second aunt, Xinlou still has a good impression, although there is not much contact, but the second aunt has also quietly helped her several times, and it is precisely because of this that Xinlou is thinking of grace, and naturally does not want the second aunt to be ......
Twisted her brows slightly, Xinlou was a little embarrassed, if the second aunt really took over this errand, how should she help the second aunt make a way, so that the second aunt can not only hold this banquet decently, but also let the second aunt not offend any other nobles?
It's really difficult!
Xinlou feels a little headache just thinking about it!
But then again, what did Princess Wanqing think? As the eldest princess of a country, she must know that her banquet went to other people's countries, and it was not in accordance with the rules to hold a banquet in other people's courtiers' homes, why did she choose it this way? And...... Or is it so reasonable?!
He wrinkled his brows slightly, and Xinlou didn't know what to do for a while.
With a sigh, she didn't say anything more.
Originally, Coriander wanted to ask her girl something, but seeing the girl like this, it was strange at the moment!
Gao Wanqing's thank-you banquet was only decided today, but the invitation card or something had already been prepared, and I think Gao Wanqing had been planning for this for a long time, otherwise, how could it be that the front foot had just gotten the emperor's permission, and the back foot could go directly to the post?
It's useless for Xinlou to just want to understand this, now that the post has come down, there is no news about Shen Ye, today Zhou Ye went to the palace to discuss with the emperor, and after he returned to the house, the matter about Gao Wanqing would be announced.
It was almost noon, and Zhou Ye directly called all the people to the flower hall.
Hearing that Zhou Ye called all the people in the mansion to the flower hall, Xinlou immediately understood what would happen.
After all, is she the eldest princess of Qi Kingdom, even if the identity is not very convenient, but there should be etiquette or something, there should be something!
It is precisely because he knows about this that Xinlou is prepared.
However, who will fall on this kind of "heavy responsibility", Xinlou is still a little strange!
When Xinlou arrived at the flower hall, there were not many people in the flower hall, and Zhou Ye was already sitting on the main seat drinking tea, with a sad face, and he didn't know what he was worried about!
After going to Xinlou, after saluting the elders present, he stood by honestly, and Zhou Ye, who was in a trance, immediately raised his eyes and looked at her after hearing her voice, and asked: "Lou girl, it has been some time since you came to Zhou's house, and you are still used to living in the house?" ”
The uncle who is in a hurry will care about her, Xinlou is still a little surprised, bent her knees, she smiled and nodded: "It's customary, thank you uncle for your concern!" ”
Zhou Ye nodded when he heard this, and there was no further words.
Strange his move, Xinlou didn't think much about it, and after half a pillar of incense, everyone in the flower hall arrived.
"Why did you call everyone here today, I think you all know the news, right?"
After all, the invitation has already arrived at the house, and the people in the house have been asked to distribute it, so it's hard not to know about it.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhou Ye immediately said again: "This time to handle the princess's thank-you banquet, Xinlou is solely responsible!" ”
Xinlou, who was thinking about things, was stunned, she was responsible?
