Chapter 54: The Banquet
Shao Tianzi was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the officials of the court and the central government naturally came to congratulate one after another, and people came to visit him every day for half a month.
Wei Aluan discussed with her mother-in-law and husband, and consulted Shao Tiantian and his wife, and decided to hold a banquet at the Qinyong Mansion on the eighth day of the first month of June, and invited all the families who had come to Daoxi to come to the banquet.
The front hall entertains the male guests, and the back hall entertains the female guests. This can be regarded as following the old etiquette of the capital, and it is not excessive.
So I started busy with preparations, and it is difficult to describe them one by one.
As a close relative, the Wei family naturally wants to go.
Needless to say, Mrs. Zhu, the old lady of the Shao family sent someone to invite her several times, saying that she must go.
Bao, as the main mother, led several young ladies to come together, the two aunts were not enough, Wei Yibao Wei Kangan was still young, and they all stayed at home.
"Second sister and third sister, I haven't seen you for a few days, and your skin is fairer!" Wei Yiwan took the initiative to talk to the twin daughters.
"The fourth sister is joking," Wei Yiroom smiled far-fetchedly: "We two vulgar fans, how can we compare with your natural beauty." ”
"Sister is too humble," Wei Yiwan held a purple silk handkerchief in her hand, and smiled softly: "The two sisters locked themselves in the room for many days, because they were afraid of being tanned by the sun. ”
Wei Yi Room Wei Yi Jia two people suffered that shock, and both fell ill.
These days I spent my days in my room and I didn't see anyone for days.
But today, the Qinyong Mansion invited guests, Aunt Mei thought that on such a day, if her two daughters did not attend, she was afraid that it would not be good for someone to catch the wind and make irresponsible remarks, so she asked the IKEA to dress up and go to the banquet with the Bao family.
Whoever wants to go out before he goes out, he is sneered at by Wei Yiwan.
The twin girls' two pretty faces were red for a while and white for a while, which was very embarrassing.
Wei Yiwan is mean by nature and has a strong sense of revenge.
Before, Wei Yi's room and Wei Yijia tried their best to tie up Shao Nan and Shao Tong, so that Wei Yiwan and them completely tore their faces.
So now, as soon as they seize the opportunity, Wei Yiwan will sneer and make them unable to get off the stage.
"It's not too early, get in the car quickly." Bao instructed: "It's not good to be late when you go to someone's house to be a guest." ”
Wei Yiwan heard what her mother said, so she left these two people and got into the car.
Wei Yining accompanied Mrs. Zhu in a car, and Bao and her own two daughters in a car.
The two sisters sit in a car.
"Sister," I cried when I got into the car and said aggrievedly: "I feel that I will be forced to death by her sooner or later." ”
"The mouth of the bald cat is really lacking in morality," Wei Yifang was also indignant: "Let's do Xiaofu to this point, she is still pressing step by step, it is really too deceitful!" ”
But the two of them can only express their grievances behind their backs, and they dare not speak out against Wei Yiwan.
Because they can't help but be jealous of Mrs., Aunt Mei has been tirelessly admonishing them these days, so that they must be cautious and not provoke Mrs. again.
When I arrived at the Qinyong Mansion, I saw that the whole street was full of carriages and horses, and the Bao family recognized them as dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital, and the two prime ministers on the left and right had also arrived, and there were even several royal princes.
When they arrived at the gate of the house, everyone got out of the car, and the Shao family greeted them in front of the door, and when they saw that the Wei family had arrived, they hurriedly ordered Shao Nan to take Mrs. Zhu in, and hurriedly let the Bao family inside.
Wei Yining followed Mrs. Zhu, and the old lady held her tightly with one hand, as if she was afraid that she would run away.
The hands of the elderly have a special softness and warmth, which makes Wei Yining feel very steady.
Ruyi was on the other side of Mrs. Zhu, and gave Wei Yining a smile and a look.
The old lady really loves the fifth girl, and she deliberately asked her to accompany her on such a grand occasion, obviously helping Wei Yining raise her value.
The people who received the back house were all official families, and when they saw Mrs. Zhu busy, they all got up to thank and greet them.
After seeing each other, they sat down, Wei Yining accompanied them quietly and politely, and a few old ladies who were the same age as Mrs. Zhu asked, "Which of your granddaughters is this?" Look at the noodles! ”
Mrs. Zhu took Wei Yining's hand and introduced to everyone: "This is the fifth girl in our family, and it has only been a few months since she returned to Beijing. That's why I thought of taking this opportunity to take her out to meet people, the child has never seen the world, so that you can laugh. ”
Everyone was busy praising Wei Yining, and some people remembered that she had saved the little prince of the Wei family, and couldn't help but pay attention to her a few more times.
Wei Zongyong came directly after leaving the court, and was talking with several important ministers in the court at this time, because he was Shao Tianzi's eldest uncle, and he was justified in accompanying guests, so he naturally refused to let go of this good opportunity.
Because of the crowding, people walked very slowly.
Wei Yiwan deliberately stopped in front of the door and talked to Shao Yang.
"Third brother, why don't you come to our house these days?" Wei Yiwan asked Shao Yang in an intimate tone.
Shao Yang had no choice but to say politely: "There have been a lot of things at home recently, and I have to help at home, so I didn't go to my grandmother's place." ”
"I see, I thought I was stumbling on a young lady of some house!" Wei Yiwan pursed her lips and smiled, thinking that she was very amorous.
Shao Yang didn't know how to answer for a while, and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.
Wei Yiwan stood there and didn't leave, a little speechless: "Then the third brother is free after a few busy days?" Let's go to the lake together, shall we? It's hot now, but it's coolest to swim in the lake. ”
Shao Yang doesn't like delicate and weak women like Wei Yiwan, because he doesn't know how to get along with such people, for fear that he will make them cry if he accidentally makes them cry, and he can't coax them well.
When he was a child, he flew kites with his eldest brother and second brother, and the kites sold in the Meizhou market were always in the shape of beauties.
Shao Nan has an easy-going temperament, and he will put whatever the servants buy, and never pick.
Shao Tong is picky by nature, and he likes beauties the most, and every time he must choose the most beautiful one among a large number of beauty kites.
Shao Yang doesn't like beauty kites, he always deliberately goes to look for kites like Liu Guanzhang and Sun Wukong Yang Jian.
Wei Yiwan saw that Shao Yang was a little red-faced, thinking that he was tempted by himself, and when he saw him, he blushed and his heart beats.
In fact, it was Shao Yang who blushed and had a thick neck because of embarrassment.
"Third brother, you haven't answered my words yet, do you want to go or not?" Wei Yiwan smiled lightly with thin lips, with a bit of coquettishness.
"It's really hard to say this, let's talk about it in a few days!" Shao Yang felt extremely embarrassed, but he had a very strict family education and knew that he couldn't be rude on such an occasion.
Wei Yiwan still refused to leave, regardless of the many guests coming and going.
"What's wrong with this, you can go if you want to." Wei Yiwan stroked a strand of his sideburns, pinched his throat and said: "I just thought that you just arrived in the capital, and you should do your best to be a landlord and take you everywhere to play." If you refuse, won't you be living up to my heart? ”
Shao Yang only felt that he was a soldier and met a showman, and he couldn't wait to run away.
