Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Mid-Autumn Festival Family Banquet
Qin Wangfu.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival dinner in the Qin Palace's Mansion was more lively than in previous years, and two small members were added to the mansion, and everyone was happy.
According to custom, after dinner, King Qin and his wife led everyone to the courtyard to "worship the moon". The courtyard has already set up a large incense case, which is full of all kinds of fashionable melons and fruits and fine wines, and there are three Hetian jade incense burners in the middle.
King Qin stood in the middle, and Princess Qin, Second Uncle, Xi Yan, and Nurse held the two little sons in turn and lined up on both sides, forming a "human" shape. The moon is in the sky, the moon stars are scarce, a group of people under the night sky, each holding a stick of incense, respectfully worshipping three times, before someone comes to take the incense, and inserts the incense burner in a proper manner.
After the ceremony, everyone entered the side hall to eat moon cakes, drink osmanthus wine, and guess lantern riddles.
Princess Qin saw that Xiyan was as grinning as she was when she was young, how lucky she was to be able to meet Qin Wang Yunyi in this strict Wu country, and she didn't know if Xiyan could be equally lucky. It's just that most of the wives and concubines of the men of Wu Kingdom regard women as bargaining chips or clothes, and if Xiyan keeps letting herself go like this, I'm afraid that I will delay the good years.
"Second brother, next month Shen'er and Qing'er will celebrate a hundred days, and Your Majesty will decree that he will be crowned as the son. Therefore, it is both a 100-day banquet and a canonization ceremony, and the big people in Beijing must be invited, I want to stay in Xiyan for a period of time in the house, learn the rules, and avoid going wrong when the time comes. ”
King Qin glanced sideways at the princess, she used to see her like a child, but today she has the appearance of an elder, she used to dislike being arranged by her elders like this, and now she has become a person she doesn't like. The King of Qin also understood that she was doing this to atone for her sins.
Before the second uncle could speak, Xi Yan refused repeatedly: "No, no, I still have something, something very important." ”
"Important." The second uncle nodded in agreement.
"What's important?" Princess Qin is a person who has come over, how could she not know these tricks.
Xiyan's little brain turned, and the reason came easily: "There are two major events in front of me, and today I just received a big order of two million taels, and I must personally check the things." In addition, this month 24 is Hua Ye's birthday, and we promised to go to celebrate his birthday. ”
Hearing this huge amount, even the King of Qin, who was invisible, looked sideways slightly. Princess Qin was even more surprised, and then thought again, even if she was rich and rivaled the country, she couldn't die alone, the elders always had to go before her, and she also hoped that Xiyan could be as happy as herself.
The second uncle rubbed his ears, thinking that he had heard it wrong: "How much?" Two hundred...... Ten thousand? ”
Xiyan nodded arrogantly, waiting for everyone's praise. Who knew that Princess Qin didn't give face, and ordered: "Then I will order someone to pick you up and move to the palace with your broken copper and iron." ”
"Hey! I've told you eight hundred times, and those things aren't broken metal. Ten or twenty years ago, you said that, and it's time to change your tune. "When the second uncle was young, he had a lot of disputes with his sister because of this, but who knew that he would have to argue at this age.
"Okay, okay, sister, I said it wrong, the iron pimple is okay, right?"
"Have you forgotten that you peeked at the driver on Chinese New Year's Eve and fell face to the ground in the snow?" The second uncle is angry, but he also wants to expose his sister's shortcomings.
Xiyan saw the two elders pinching each other, and the whole person was happy: "Hahaha, my aunt still has such a thing." ”
