Chapter 218: Decanting Soup
The reception banquet is set in Manxing Garden, which is not far from the courtyard where Yang Qingyun and Tian Shuang live, and I don't know if it takes into account the reason why they are girls' families and are easy to get tired.
King Nanmu is the prince king of this place, and the princes and kings have not only their own people, but also rank after level of officials. Because the people who came over this time were not only Yang Qingyun and Tian Shuang, but also a powerful prime minister of the dynasty, he naturally couldn't be lazy. Therefore, the reception banquet set up by the Nanmu Palace, which is not small, and as soon as you enter the hall, you will see the seats arranged in two rows.
Uniform tableware, uniform costumes and sumptuous meals and fruits show that they have been prepared with great care.
The whole process is naturally singing and dancing, and it is enjoyable.
After the wine cup, the courtiers who were originally honest and did not dare to make any moves gradually let go of their hands and feet, and toasted with the prime minister who was sitting under King Nanmu.
Shen Liangzhao is accustomed to seeing such scenes, and relying on his identity as prime minister, although he does not refuse to come, but other courtiers toast is a cup to the bottom, he smiled and said that he can't drink alcohol or something like that, as long as he takes a sip of wine from his lips, he can count it, and he is very experienced.
The wine cup came and went, and the young prime minister with a white jade face was still smiling like a spring breeze, talking and laughing.
Only when King Nanmu pushes the cup with him and discusses the cup, he will happily drink a cup and a half.
Yang Qingyun and Tian Shuang were originally sitting in one seat, next to each other. Seeing that the scene of the reception banquet was very lively, the two took this opportunity to sit together unconsciously.
"Qingyun, look at it, Xiangye's drinking method is going to get drunk. I used to think that Xiangye must be like a fish in water in a high position, but now it is an eye-opener, and he has drunk seven or eight glasses of wine between him and King Nanmu. Tian Shuang said this, and suddenly came to his senses, "No, this time it is most likely that King Nanmu respects Xiangye, and the two of them have much more interaction at the banquet than others, could it be that Xiangye was targeted by King Nanmu?" Did you offend King Nanmu? ”
Yang Qingyun looked at the two ancestors who seemed to be very harmonious on their faces, but were secretly competing, and their hearts were actually inexplicable.
"I also think that Xiangye seems to be targeted." She remembered what Xiangye said in the evening that he lived in Xiangnanju as if it was specially arranged, and suspicion gradually appeared on her face, "It's just that I really can't figure it out, I haven't heard of any festivals between these two in Su Ri, you probably remember the time when King Nanmu lived in Beijing, I met two or three times when the two were together, and there was no contradiction in it, and it shouldn't be evil." ”
Tian Shuang didn't come up with a clue, touched her chin and thought for a while, then turned her head and asked, "...... Could it be because of the appearance? Although King Nanmu is good-looking, Xiangye is obviously better. ”
Yang Qingyun looked back at her, "What are you thinking about?" After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but laugh.
Tian Shuang also laughed.
Just looking at the two of them and three cups bottoming out, Yang Qingyun was still a little worried, so she sent the maid over to ask if there was any sobering soup.
The maid replied immediately, "Because of tonight's reception banquet, Madame was afraid that there would be adults who would drink too much, so she asked the kitchen to prepare a sobering soup very early." As long as adults need it, they can get it at any time, so it saves them uncomfortable. ”
Yang Qingyun listened comfortably, so he immediately sent the maid to send Shen Liangzhao a bowl of decanting soup first.
Looking back and seeing Tian Shuang looking at her, she subconsciously explained: "We are with Xiangye, and he still has to take care of us." At the same time, it's best to be able to help each other, isn't it? You see he drank a lot of wine, and he must be in need of decanting soup at this time. ”
Tian Shuang smiled and nodded, "You're right. ”
After finishing speaking, I saw Mrs. Li walking over with Xiaojun Shuyan.
The two hurriedly got up and saluted, and after a few words of greeting each other, Mrs. Li asked with a smile, "Tonight's meal is still appetizing, right?" The eating habits here may be a little different from those in the capital, where the food is relatively light, focusing on fresh and fragrant, and the taste of our place is relatively strong. Therefore, I have specially hired three chefs to cook your food, and it stands to reason that the taste should not be much worse. ”
That's all she said, since Yang Qingyun and Tian Shuang want to praise the chef's cooking skills.
Tian Shuang's mouth is much more talking," ...... No wonder there are a few dishes in it that I like very much, and I told Qing Wan that it turned out to be a cook specially arranged by Mrs. She touched her stomach again as she spoke, "The food is delicious, and the fruit wine is also very sweet, I have eaten a bowl of rice in the past few days, but I ate half a bowl more tonight, and I was ridiculed by Qing Wan for eating too much." ”
Good words are naturally pleasing to the ear, and Mrs. Li was very happy when she heard it, and she said that she ate and drank well.
The little man was still led by Mrs. Li at this moment, very well-behaved, he didn't dare to run around at will, and only watched them talk with a pair of wet eyes.
Tian Shuang's attention has actually been on Zhang Shuyan's body, and seeing that Mrs. Li is in a good mood, she proposed to let the villain stay with them for a while," ...... This time, we mainly want to see the little county lord, and the lady has to take care of the whole banquet, but I am afraid that it will be powerless, otherwise we will leave the little county lord here first. First, you can rest assured that you can stare at the banquet, and secondly, it is more than enough for our two big girls to watch a little girl. ”
Mrs. Li said how embarrassed it was, and Zhang Shuyan saw that her mother did not refuse directly, and tried to fight for herself, plus Tian Shuang and Yang Qingyun said a word to me, Mrs. Li let go and let the little person sit happily between the two.
Since she came, Mrs. Li naturally wanted to drink a glass of fruit wine with them.
When he handed the wine cup back to the maid, he smiled and mentioned it as if he had no intention, "I just seem to see you talking to the maid, is there a dish that is not ready or what you want to eat temporarily?" You can tell the maid directly about this kind of thing, or you can tell me, and I will know what dishes and flavors you like in the future. ”
Yang Qingyun immediately smiled and shook her head, "That's not it, just like Tian Shuang just said, Madame's hospitality tonight is actually very thoughtful." I called the maid over, but it was only because Xiangye had drunk too much wine, so I sent her to send him a pot of sobering soup. ”
Mrs. Li didn't seem to expect this, and was stunned for a moment before suddenly laughing, "Miss Yang San is a person who can hurt people, and it is really rare for an unmarried girl's family to think so thoughtfully." ”
After she finished speaking, she looked at the dragon and phoenix among the two people who were still fighting wine, and the love in her eyes was undisguised, "Don't look at the gentle and gentle prince in the past day, he is actually very enthusiastic." He should like Xiangye very much, so he had a few more drinks with him tonight. ”
