Chapter 137: New Year's Wine
The families in the capital, since the beginning of the lunar month a year ago, the most anticipated thing is that on the second day of the new year, the New Year's wine of the Rong'an Palace.
There are many reasons why General Xie has been famous in the capital and even famous in the world for more than ten years, but the top two are his demeanor and rejection.
In fact, it is a bit difficult to say which one is the first in the end.
General Xie got married, although this matter is shocking, but the matter of getting married is a matter of the husband and wife, and it is still quite far away from everyone, far less than the fact that the Rong'an Mansion wants to invite New Year's wine.
Please New Year's wine, that's just around the corner, everyone can participate in it!
The Rong'an Palace's General Xie ...... Now it's Prince Xie, and the princess.
At this time, since the door is open to entertain guests, there is no reason to let the subordinates entertain the guests, since it is not the subordinates to entertain the guests, then it can only be the prince and the princess!
Being able to look at General Xie very closely, maybe, he can say a few words and drink a glass of wine, which is within everyone's reach.
Although the marriage is shocking, it is far less amiable than the New Year's wine!
As for how the cold and iceberg Prince Xie entertained guests, everyone in the capital, from the time they received or heard about the New Year's wine invitation from Prince Rong's mansion, they all gave full play to their imagination, but they all felt unimaginable.
According to the usual practice, the New Year's wine in each house is before the beginning, and the people are almost there, lively and lively all day, and at the end of the year, the guests are scattered.
But the New Year's wine of Rong'an Palace, there is an extra stroke on the invitation, please come before and after.
For this one, no one cares.
The New Year's wine of Rong'an Wangfu is enough to shock and surprise, and the difference between this day and half a day is a trivial matter.
Besides, the New Year's wine of Rong'an Wangfu is naturally different from other houses.
The time specification of this New Year's wine, which was reduced from one day to half a day, was a decision that Li Ran, Mama Huang, and Mama Sang all thought of and agreed with very much.
Li Ran felt that this year's wine from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, whether it was for her or for the guests, the whole day was too long, so long that she really couldn't think of how to make everyone feel less boring and boring.
Mama Huang and Mama Sang's reasons for agreeing are extremely simple and clear: they are understaffed.
On the second day of the first month, just after the beginning of the year, after countless entanglements and battles, the men and women who went to the Rong'an Palace's New Year's Wine were picked up on the last night, and the men and women who went to the Rong'an Palace's New Year's Wine, got on the horse, got on the car, and rushed to the Rong'an Palace.
Among the people who can get the invitation card of Rong'an Palace, basically, they all have to eat New Year's wine from the second day of the new year, all the way to the 14th, and every day, there is more than one New Year's wine to go.
This makes the matter of New Year's wine a headache that even people who like to socialize the most.
But this New Year's wine in Rong'an Wangfu made everyone who got the invitation look forward to the New Year's wine for the first time, even more than the expectations of six or seven-year-old children for the New Year.
Li Qingping, the second master of the Chang'an Hou Mansion, and the second grandmother Cao, as well as the third master Li Qingning, had lunch early, and around noon, two horses and a cart rushed to the Rong'an Palace.
This is the suggestion of the second grandmother, Cao.
There are only two masters in the Rong'an Palace, Li Ran and Xie Ze, and the second grandmother Cao feels that whether it is useful or not, she and the second master Li Qingping, as well as the third Li Qingning, should arrive earlier, in case they can help!
Even if you can't help, this attitude should be put out.
……………………
At the second gate of the Wangfu of Hejian County, Princess Du's car went out of the side door first.
Princess Du lifted the curtain, looked forward at the eldest son and the third son on the horse, and then looked back at Mrs. Cao and Wang Ji's two cars, and for a moment, lowered the curtain and sighed softly.
This time for the New Year's wine, they went to the house, except for those who were not at home, and this was the first time.
The eldest husband and wife, the third husband and wife, plus her, two horses and three carts, this person is really a bit much.
The Boss is a must-go. In their house, there are people who can say a few words to Lord Xie, except for the prince of her family, that is, the boss.
The third husband and wife can't help but go.
All over the capital know that her third daughter-in-law has the best relationship with Princess Rong'an, and can even be said to be the only person who is good friends with Princess Rong'an.
This year's wine in Rong'an Palace, the third daughter-in-law can't help but go no matter what.
Originally, she wanted the third brother to stay at home and not go, but the third brother said that he had to go, saying that this was the meaning of the prince, and since it was the meaning of the prince, it was definitely going to go.
It stands to reason that the eldest daughter-in-law is at home to watch the house.
Tomorrow is their house to invite New Year's wine, a bunch of things, she and the eldest daughter-in-law, should leave one.
The prince is not at home, and if she doesn't go to Rong'an Palace's wine this year, then their mansion will be too big, and she can't help but go.
This, coupled with the New Year's wine of Rong'an Wangfu, it would not be good if there were too many people, she said it two or three times, and the eldest daughter-in-law was such a sensible person, she didn't take the initiative to say that she wouldn't go.
The eldest daughter-in-law doesn't open her mouth, how can she open her mouth? Don't let the eldest daughter-in-law say this, she can't say it anyway!
The eldest daughter-in-law has been married for all these years, and everything is proper and thoughtful, and she has never been willful, just this time......
This is General Xie's New Year's wine! No wonder the eldest daughter-in-law.
Alas, just go.
Compared with not letting the eldest daughter-in-law eat this New Year's wine, it is much easier to let her old face out.
……………………
The Cao family's car was a little earlier and came out of the second gate of the Cao Mansion.
Cao Ming rode in front, Mrs. Wu and the third grandmother Xie Pei were in a car, and in the back car, Cao Sanniang and Cao Siniang were sitting.
There are still two streets away from the Rong'an Palace, and there are more cars and horses on the road.
Xie Pei felt that the car was slowing down, lifted the curtain of the car, looked out, put down the curtain, and said with Mrs. Wu a smile: "It seems that they are all going to Rong'an Palace, and they invited a lot of people today." ”
"Not necessarily."
Old Madam Wu also lifted the curtain and looked at it.
"On the invitation card of his house, the time is written, and everyone who gets the invitation must be the same as us, pinching a little, and going out a little earlier, they are all too punctual, and at this moment, they are all crowded together."
Xie Pei laughed when he heard this.
In fact, Mrs. Wu's words are nothing funny, she feels like laughing when she hears everything recently, she seems to love to laugh more than before.
"Well, what if...... Without those things, General Xie and I should also grow up together like San Lang, San Niangzi, and Si Niangzi, and are the closest brothers and sisters. ”
Xie Pei's voice was low.
If it weren't for those tragic things, she and General Xie would definitely be the same as San Niangzi and San Lang, and they would be no different from their brothers and sisters, but now, she hasn't spoken to General Xie, and even, she hasn't been able to see her cousin clearly.
"It's all over, don't mention it again, especially don't mention it in front of outsiders."
Old Madam Wu patted Xie Pei gently, which was both a comfort and a teaching.
……………………
Wang Fang, the second master of the Wang family, rode on a horse and walked in front of the two cars.
In the first car, Mrs. An and Mrs. Xie were seated, and in the back car, the second grandmother Ming's was sitting.
Mrs. Xie lowered the curtain of the car, looked at Mrs. An and said, "I didn't see her car." ”
"She's not coming.
That's a smart person, I'm afraid I'll have already seen that Ah Ran is not your aunt, nor is it you.
If she really went, Ah Ran could really turn her away, this thing, Ah Ran did it. ”
Mrs. An looked very determined.
"Shut out? Look at what A-Niang said! Mrs. Xie shook her head with a smile.
"When I was young, I was able to keep my face up to those who were not invited.
Ah Ran is the temper of the An family, and she has not been poisoned by the sages of etiquette, this child is really rare. ”
Mrs. An smiled.
"Ah Niang's words." Mrs. Xie shook her head with a smile again, looked at the comfortable and happy Mrs. An, and wanted to say something, but swallowed it back and laughed.
In the past six months, the old lady's temperament has become more and more lively, and sometimes, she can't help but think of the old child's words.
……………………
The New Year's wine of Rong'an Palace, the outside is dominated by Mama Sang, and the inside is Mama Huang.
On the side of the female dependents, at the second gate, it was Mama Sang who greeted the guests with a group of servant women and housekeepers, and on the other side, Zhou E took a group of small servants to greet everyone with a smile.
Huo Wencan and his eldest brother Huo Wenying got off the horse and greeted Zhou E, who bowed his hand, Huo Wencan's eyebrows were high, and he sighed first, "It's General Zhou!" I heard that the Heijia brothers are going to fight in Beiwazi? This time you have to give me the truth, you can't fool me again. ”
"Look at what the third prince said, what I gave you is a true letter when I return it. The first few times, I really didn't dare to say that Ping Lao Wu could win, he was just a hairy child, Shizi, did you say yes? ”
Zhou E was talking to Huo Wencan, and at the same time let the two of them in.
"General Zhou has always used truth to trick people, you have to rely on your own eyesight." Huo Wenying slapped Huo Wencan while laughing.
"Your eldest brother is wrong in the first sentence, and the latter sentence is right, besides, fighting is almost the same as fighting, and no one can say for sure whether you win or lose." Zhou E hurriedly answered.
"In the future, I will follow General Zhou to place bets, and I will bet on whichever one you bet on!" Huo Wencan said with a smile.
Zhou E watched the Huo family brothers enter the second gate, and hurriedly turned around.
After entering the second gate, Huo Wenying slowed down and watched as he walked.
This mansion, he came for the first time, and like everyone in the capital, he was full of curiosity and expectation about this place and today's New Year's wine.
"That one is new, I can't tell it."
Huo Wencan pointed to several small warm pavilions hidden behind a tall rockery.
"Huh?" Huo Wenying looked at Huo Wencan.
Huo Wencan said with a smile: "Ah Ji has been here twice, and he drew a picture to show me what it looked like. ”
Huo Wenying snorted, his steps were slower, and while watching, he whispered to Huo Wencan.
"The prince is coming?"
"Like, he didn't say it explicitly." Huo Wencan's expression was leisurely.
"Do you think it's the Ping family brothers or the Xie family who are entertaining guests inside?" Huo Wenying snorted his mouth.
"I'm just afraid it's all there. General Xie seems to have eased up a lot with the Xie family, and the people in this mansion are all old servants of the Xie family, and there are seven or eight children of the Xie family who took the spring exam this year. ”
"Well, you're more attentive, what about the Heike brothers?" Huo Wenying then asked.
"Big brother, you say, Brother Ping, could it be, An family?"
In the end, the An family said three words, Huo Wencan's voice was pressed to the lowest, and he leaned over and whispered to Huo Wenying.
"Well, just know it in your heart, the princess's mother's family."
Huo Wenying patted Huo Wencan with satisfaction.
"It's like Li Sanlang."
Huo Wenying motioned to Li Qingning, who was catching them in front, Huo Wencan hummed, took a few steps forward, and waved to Li Qingning.
