Chapter 933: Zhuang Guo Mansion
The celebration of the Zhuang Guo Mansion was very grand. On the first day of the list, he asked his subordinates to count the firecrackers in front of the mansion and distributed them at the gate of the palace before taking a few hundred yuan. On the second day, a very grand banquet was held, and many colleagues and friends of Grandpa Guo in Beijing were invited, and even some sons in the family were not let go.
It is said that on that day, a stage was specially set up in the Zhuang Guo Mansion, and the troupe was invited to sing a small song, and everyone was congratulating this promising young man, only some colleagues whose sons were off the list at home were as pale as dirt, and they were forced to eat wine with Zhuang Guo Grandpa with a smile.
Compared with Grandpa Zhuang Guo, Mrs. Guo is even more unpolite, put the whip, open the warehouse to give food are the woman's masterpieces, the second day of the banquet, the ladies are gathered in the backyard, relatives and friends continue to boast about how their Zhuang Xiaozi is excellent, Mrs. Guo is in a good mood, immediately clapped the board, and gave a dozen female guests at the same table a pair of gold bracelets.
Later, several people with decent families revealed their intention to get married, but they didn't expect that the Duchess of the country didn't even want to pretend to be stupid, and waved her hand directly: No.
Then the Duchess unceremoniously and euphemistically listed a series of "at least the conditions that our banker's daughter-in-law must meet", and the female guests next to her were embarrassed, and they all said in their hearts: We just asked you a sentence or two, why are you so crowded!? The conditions are so high, just wait for your son to be a bachelor for a lifetime!
The above content comes from Zuo Shinian, who heard the gossip from nowhere, and Shi Qingqian's little bit of self-brain supplement.
"I have seen a lot of local tyrants and nouveau riche who have made a windfall, this kind of nouveau riche who has been lifted...... This is the first time I've heard of it. Shi Qingqian said.
Speaking of which, Shi Qingqian was not very familiar with the Zhuang Guogong Mansion before, although he was a little extravagant about the celebration of the boy's middle school, but before he heard about this incident, Shi Qingqian also felt that it was excusable - it was difficult for the family to find a scholar who was a serious scholar, so he also wanted to celebrate. even had a hint of the idea of pouting Sister Sheng and Zhuang Xiaogongzi.
Now it seems that I just want to be grateful to Zuo Shinian for appearing in time to help me "pull out the weeds".
No matter what kind of person Zhuang Xiaogongzi is, having such a mother-in-law and father-in-law is really a big challenge in life.
However, although he didn't want to marry the Zhuang family, Shi Qingqian still made up his mind to make up the excitement of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
It's a pity that Sister Sheng didn't get the post, and Peng also said that the little doll is now annoying, and she still can't get ready to go, and the eldest lady is becoming less and less noisy, so she only asked someone to send some congratulatory gifts to the Zhuang Guo Mansion.
Glancing at Younan, who was sleeping soundly in the cradle bed, Shi Qingqian thought, he still has to go......
Early in the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shi Qingqian was picked up by Zheng's mother, and Zheng's mother said: "Today's people are all princes and nobles, and the princess can't disgrace the palace!" It's an eventful time now, and the last time I went out to buy satin, I heard someone criticize us for coming to Yanwangfu! ”
It's just that because Su Yixue's matter ended unclearly, Shi Qingqian yawned, saying that Ning Wangfu was in the same situation now, and she heard that Ning Wang and his wife were also going to participate, if they dared to provoke such an incident, they would not lose them in their mouths. As for the others...... There shouldn't be such a big boldness, and it's barely enough to talk behind your back.
After picking up, Shi Qingqian sat in front of the mirror and looked at himself with satisfaction.
With a pointed chin, a goose egg face, and blush cheeks, he wore a lotus-colored golden butterfly dark pattern gold Shu yarn through-sleeved shirt, a three-inlaid golden plum bead chrysanthemum pattern brocade silk skirt with a mopping look, and a pale gold bottom pinched tooth gourd double blessing cicada wing yarn. The hair has been curled into a chic Yaotai bun, and only a red coral hairpin with a flower dragon head is worn in the cloud temples, which is not luxurious but delicate, but it also looks as beautiful as the autumn moon.
Although this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is held in the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is not for a large number of people to gather together to eat moon cakes and admire the moon and chant poems.
Shi Qingqian quickly arrived at the door of Zhuang Guogong's Mansion in a carriage, she was not the first to come, there were already many guests gathered at the door to talk, and they were so busy that they came out to greet the attractive little girl. Shi Qingqian didn't make it too difficult for them, and after getting out of the carriage and asking for directions, a little maid came and took her all the way inside.
"Huh? Don't go to the backyard? Looking at the place where he had obviously walked through the backyard, Shi Qingqian asked curiously.
The little maid replied very calmly: "Back to the princess, today's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is not just a meal, my wife held a poetry party in the garden behind the mansion, and there are pot-throwing polo gadgets at the back." ”
Shi Qingqian couldn't help but smile and nodded, why did the Duchess hold a poetry party? It's not to show off his son's talent, as for the side I'm afraid it's just a foil, "I heard that there is a very well-repaired garden in the Guogong Mansion, and today can be regarded as coming." ”
The little maid also smiled and didn't say anything more.
Shi Qingqian was suddenly infected with the wind and cold because of Xue Yinghu yesterday, so he only brought Lu Wei to follow, and soon the two were led through the corridor and through the hall, and saw the legendary garden.
This large garden is really good, the size is half the size of an ordinary mansion. At that time, the grandfather of Zhuang Laoguo helped the founding emperor to establish the foundation, which was to enjoy the Taimiao, the family had an iron-blooded pill book, and the mansion was much larger than the ordinary lord's family. The three sons of the banker, the eldest is mediocre, the third is the protagonist of today, and the second is a flower intestine who is looking for flowers and willows all day long, and naturally knows how to make the garden better.
Although the reputation of the second child is not very noble, Shi Qingqian has to admire his aesthetics.
This garden is a small bridge and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, but it is not crowded at all, but there is a large open space for the horses to stretch out, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small square in the back garden of the house.
It's really more human-than-human, scaring to death. The pomp and circumstance of a Guogong Mansion is even bigger than that of the Yan Palace.
Shi Qingqian couldn't help but sigh softly, thinking of the sons of the Zhuang Guogong Mansion who were not very competitive.
"The richer you are, the easier it is for people to lie on the merit book and eat the old book, and one day you will sit and eat the empty mountain," Shi Qingqian said softly to Lu Wei, "In this way, that little prince Zhuang is really amazing, after all, it is the only dark horse that this family has killed since the grandfather of the old country came......
