Chapter 61: The Banquet

After hearing Zheng Haihua say that she brought not only fifty elite soldiers this time, but also a few masters of the rivers and lakes, Yuan Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Now the gate of the city is heavily guarded, only let out and not let in, she is pregnant and convenient, so she did not send Zheng Haihua and them out of the city, only sent her out of the gate and came back.

The next day was the day of the banquet, and she got up early, and after breakfast, she sat down in front of the bronze mirror and painted a light makeup.

At this time, she was wearing a cool suspender, only up to her knees, and the straps on her shoulders fell loosely, revealing her white neck and collarbones.

Inadvertently saw a box in the drawer, she frowned and thought about it, and after a while, she suddenly remembered that this was a gift given to her by Wei Wei before drinking that night.

This box has been placed here since I received it, and I haven't opened it to see what is inside, and Yuan Xuan is a little curious at this time.

She took out the box and opened it gently, and saw that there was a blood-red jade bracelet inside, in addition to this jade bracelet, there was also a pair of beautiful earrings, she almost screamed in surprise.

I really didn't expect that he was so busy during that time, and he was still in the mood to prepare this gift for himself.

She took the jade bracelet and earrings in her hand and looked back and forth, and after being happy for a while, she gently put the jade bracelet back.

Now she is a pregnant woman, and she doesn't know how much weight she will gain in the late trimester, so it's better not to bring this, this earring is good-looking, and she can wear it today.

After changing his clothes and leaving the room, when he was about to go to the main courtyard, Yuan Xuan suddenly wanted to drink milk tea.

So she asked Gu's mother to go to the big kitchen to get goat's milk, planning to make some milk tea and fruit to bring over, and also to taste it for the guests who came today.

After Gu's mother left, Yuan Xuan asked Qiao'er to take out the chilled watermelon and cherries from the well, as well as the star fruit that she was reluctant to eat.

Taking advantage of this time, she cut the watermelon and star fruit into small pieces and cleaned the cherries.

After doing this, she went to get the tea leaves that Wei Wei and Zheng Haihua collected for her, picked out some black tea leaves, and prepared to fry them when Gu's mother came back.

Gu's mother came back not long after, and when she came back, she was holding a wooden basin in her hand, which was filled with fresh warm goat milk.

After Yuan Xuan waited for her to wash her face, he told her about the method of milk tea, and watched her fry it on the side.

Milk tea is very easy to make, put the tea and sugar together and fry it, keep turning it, and after the sugar and tea are heated evenly, you can almost add goat's milk.

Gu's mother was covered in sweat at this time, but she didn't feel how hot she was when she smelled the sweet and wanton milk tea.

Yuan Xuan felt that it was almost there, so he asked her to put out the fire and filter the milk tea and scoop it out.

Fruit fishing is better, if you like to eat cherries, add cherries, add watermelon if you like watermelon, and add star fruit if you like star fruit. At this time, there are too few kinds of fruits, which is already considered a luxury.

Although Yuan Xuan was not hungry, she was hungry and couldn't help but ask Qiao'er to fetch some ice.

When Qiao'er came back, she first scooped some cherries into a white porcelain bowl, put a few pieces of watermelon in it, then poured in a small bowl of boiled warm milk tea, and after putting in two spoonfuls of crushed ice, she stirred it a few times with a stirring spoon.

She took a small bite and felt good, and after a few more stirs, she sprinkled a handful of chopped walnuts and a spoonful of cooked sesame seeds on the surface.

Finally, she poured the red fruit sauce, and it was done, and she scooped a spoonful into her mouth with satisfaction.

Well, yes, sweet and sour is appropriate, and it's not too icy.

Qiao'er on the side was a little greedy, and after Yuan Xuan glanced at her, she happily mixed a cup for herself.

It was exactly the same as Fang Cai Yuan's cooking, and when it was ready, she couldn't wait to taste it.

It's just that after she tasted it in her mouth, she was instantly dumbfounded, and what she drank flowed out again down the corner of her mouth.

Qiao'er couldn't help but slander in her heart: Why did Madame pit her again, where is this thing delicious? It's very sour!

Like the previous few times in Pei Fuzhong, Madame thought it was very delicious, and she tasted it and her teeth were about to fall!

Yuan Xun looked very helpless, this girl has suffered a few losses, why don't you always have a long memory? She is now a pregnant woman, can she taste the same as ordinary people?

The three of them laughed and laughed, and when they saw that the hour was almost up, Yuan Xuan asked Qiao'er to take the gift she had prepared for An Ning, and asked Gu's mother to call two rough mothers to help with the things, and the group went to the main courtyard.

When they arrived at the main courtyard, there were already several ladies and little girls in the main courtyard, and Wei Mu and An Ning were happily entertaining them.

Today's An Ning is the protagonist, at this time she is wearing the new clothes specially prepared for her by Wei's mother, the pink dress, which makes her pink and tender, especially beautiful.

Yuan Xuan gave his mother-in-law a salute, looked at Qiao'er behind him, and motioned for her to give the gift in her hand to An Ning.

She had specially found this thing, because An Ning belonged to the monkey, so she felt that she should like this thing.

This is the 12 zodiac signs carved from fine cedar wood, with eleven small animals in a circle and a small monkey in the middle. The expression of the little monkey is as if it is smiling, and the expressions and movements of the other animals are also subtle, as if they are blessing the little monkey.

An Ning was overjoyed after receiving it, she understood that this gift was her sister-in-law's blessing to her, and she was extremely happy in her heart.

Seeing that she was happy, Yuan Xuan asked her to play with her friends, and she began to get to know these ladies and ladies through her mother-in-law.

She had never been to a banquet before, not that no one had invited her, but that she was at a loss for such an occasion.

Therefore, after receiving the invitation, she is not polite and never goes to the banquet in person.

It was only today that she could be regarded as having truly met the various ladies and ladies in the city through her own banquet.

At the end of the day, her neck was stiff, and she met a lot of people and said a lot of things.

From the moment he entered the main courtyard, Yuan Xuanliu kept a smile on his face and maintained his demeanor.

The more she got to the end, the more disgusted she felt in her heart for such an occasion, and she felt bored and unbearable.

The ladies were very polite and enthusiastic to her, and most of them were complimenting her, which made her a little panicked about her future life.

By the end of the banquet, Yuan Xuan was not only hoarse, but even his eyes were a little spent, and the whole person was exhausted.

Seeing that her mother-in-law was also tired, she asked her mother-in-law to rest, and she forced herself to see off today's guests.

After sending off the ladies and ladies, she didn't go back to the main courtyard to talk to her mother-in-law, and after returning to the courtyard, she took a little bath, and then fell asleep directly on the bed.

She rested in the house for three days in a row, and it was only after three days that she slowly recovered.

When Yuan Xuan woke up on this day, it was already three poles of the sun, and Cui Shi was waiting for her.

After seeing her, Cui Shi said to her with a happy face: "Madam, Gao Qi's family affair was decided yesterday. ”
