Chapter 652: Banquet

I don't know if it's because people are in good spirits on happy occasions, or if the recipe given by Ji Yu really worked, but after two or three days of hard work, Han Changhou's cough really reduced a lot.

The housekeeper went to Qinghui Garden privately to ask for some methods, and since then he has replaced the previous stewed soup with pear juice and white radish and ginger soup, and he no longer insists on Hou Ye to rest in bed, and when the weather is warm, he can go out and walk with him, but he has to wear a mask.

This is also explained by Ji Yu, saying that it can prevent the irritation of the trachea by the cold wind, and after hearing about it, the housekeeper asked the embroidery lady in the house to do a lot according to the requirements, but whenever the Hou Ye goes out, he must wear it.

Han Changhou was very repulsed at first, feeling that he was covering something on his face, not to mention weirdness, and he was very depressed. After knowing that it was Ji Yu's idea, he immediately changed his attitude, and wore it wherever he went, and he couldn't wait to wear it to sleep.

In the past few days when he was recuperating, Ji Yu was not idle.

Changhong Courtyard ignored everything, but Fuxi Hall couldn't let it go, if Ji Yu lost someone on the day of the banquet, the Hou Mansion would also lose face.

So Mama Yao was assigned again, and the task was to re-teach Ji Yu the rules.

In Qinghui Garden, Mama Yao and Ji Yu sat opposite each other, staring at each other with big eyes.

In the end, it was Ji Yu who opened her mouth first.

"Isn't Mama Yao here to teach me?"

"Old slaves don't do useless work."

The reason why she said useless work was not that she felt that Ji Yu was too stupid to teach, on the contrary, she knew too well how smart Ji Yu was.

Ji Yu didn't understand anything as the old lady thought.

Etiquette and rules, everything she thinks should be taught, Ji Yu has already learned it, but whether she keeps it depends on her mood.

Ji Yu laughed.

"Mama has such a lot of faith in me."

Mama Yao raised her eyelids.

"Miss, don't blame the old slave for not speaking well, close the door, whatever you want, but the day of the banquet is a big day, how many pairs of eyes will stare at you, once something goes wrong, you enter the Hou Mansion, it is equivalent to not entering."

Ji Yu had come from a bad way, and now the Hou Mansion is willing to admit it in the open, which is a good start, but the key point is still on Ji Yu.

She has good looks, which is an advantage, but if her words and deeds are inappropriate, no matter how good her appearance is, it is useless.

In a high-ranking family, who would want to have a vulgar peasant girl as a daughter-in-law? He won't let his daughter have a relationship with him.

Then Ji Yu will always wander outside this circle and will never be accepted, so if she says that she has entered, she has not entered.

"Of course, if the young lady still wants to return to Yeyang, she will be treated as an old slave and not say anything."

Ji Yu cupped her cheeks and sighed.

"Don't hide it from Mama, I've decided to change my mind, you just have to rest assured, when that day comes, I won't embarrass you."

Mama Yao: "......"

It's obviously a very serious tone and a positive attitude, why doesn't she believe it?

"What are you doing? Let's go. Ji Yu got down from the couch, "Let's consolidate what we learned before." ”

It turns out that Ji Yu is not joking this time.

She is more serious than ever, not only listening carefully, but also doing seriously, and taking the initiative to ask questions.

These questions are more about etiquette, but some of them have nothing to do with etiquette, such as the situation of the various families in Beijing and the relationship between them, and occasionally ask about the royal family.

She had inquired when she was at the inn before, but she was not as detailed as this time. Ji Yu's explanation for this is that if you know more, you will know what to say when you see someone. Otherwise, what's the use of just knowing etiquette? In case you don't pay attention to stepping on someone's feet, no matter how beautiful the etiquette is, it will still offend people.

In fact, there is no need for her to say it, Mama Yao originally had this plan, but Ji Yu took the initiative to put it forward, and the meaning was still different. At least it shows that she really cares.

Mama Yao finally believed that Ji Yu didn't want to do anything, and since then, one has taught and one has learned, all with extra care.

After Han Changhou's health improved, the day of the banquet was booked, and the post was sent out, all of which were written by Han Changhou himself, and not a word was faked.

In the blink of an eye, it was October 18.

Early in the morning, Mama Yao brought the maid over to serve Ji Yu to freshen up.

The clothes and accessories are already prepared.

The upper body is a milky yellow pipa sleeve stand-up collar placket short jacket, there is a circle of wind hair at the collar edge to keep warm, with flying crane embroidery extended to the shoulders, blooming flowers, complex stitches, looking at both gentle and elegant; Below is the water-red large hem embroidered horse-faced skirt, the skirt is embroidered with large pieces of embroidery spread upward, and the flying cranes are flying among the branches and leaves, and there is more agility in the grace.

The hair is taken care of by Mama Yao herself, and the upper part looks like a cross bun alone, but the hair below is loose. Ji Yu shook her head, feeling that this bun was really inconvenient, but it was very good-looking.

There was no trouble on her face, Mama Yao still had the most basic aesthetics, she didn't toss her on the face of the dead man with a big mouth, she just put on a thin makeup and stopped.

Ji Yu looked in the mirror, and then had to admit that there is still a difference between makeup and no makeup.

Probably because she hasn't reached the level of "but I'm afraid of fat pink color".

Ji Yu turned around from the bronze mirror.

Mama Yao was okay, she only said that people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and vaguely expressed her satisfaction.

The few maids she brought with her were all dumbfounded.

Ji Yu follows the Hou Ye, it goes without saying how she looks, but it's a pity that she dresses casually and behaves casually on weekdays, which makes it easy for people to ignore her appearance.

But now, Ji Yu, who is dressed up in new makeup, is both bright and dazzling, and dignified and atmospheric, which makes people can't take their eyes off and dare not take a closer look.

Lu Kui came to urge the old lady, and was stunned when she entered the door.

What it means to be glamorous, she knows it today.

As long as you don't make mistakes......

As soon as Mama Yao saw that the green sunflower was coming, she knew that the guests had almost arrived.

"You can go."

Ji Yu nodded.

Today is windy, and the northwest wind is tight.

Before going out, Mama Yao added a silver rat shoulder to her, which was not enough, and she wore a moon-white hooded cloak on the outside.

Ji Yu felt that the cloak was a little redundant and wanted to remove it, but Mama Yao disagreed.

"Look at this dark day, maybe it will snow later, what are you afraid of wearing more? You can take it off when you get there. ”

Ji Yu has been used as a tool for a long time, and she didn't want to break with her over a piece of clothing, so she didn't insist anymore.

Out of Qinghui Garden, it is not to go to Fuxi Hall. There are many guests today, Fuxi Hall can not entertain, and the Hou Mansion has a treasure mirror garden specially used for banquets.

There are three wooden bridges in the garden, and the water under them is said to lead to the living water outside, and if it is summer, you can also see the magnificent scenery of lotus flowers all over the lake, so don't think about it this season.

There are two exquisite hexagonal pavilions standing on the surface of the lake, surrounded by lush forests and bamboos, rockeries, and the main hall on the opposite side of the lake.

Ji Yu followed Mama Yao from the corridor to the fan-shaped verandah, and then went straight to the backyard, where the female guests were entertained.

There is also a lake in the backyard, and the view is not different from what I just saw, except for a large garden.

Before Ji Yu glanced at it, Mama Yao stopped.

"Here we are."
