Now the situation in the court has begun to tilt a little towards the emperor's side, especially after the daughter of the military department Shangshu married the little marquis of the Zhongyong Marquis's mansion.
When the Duchess heard Du Yi's answer, the corners of her mouth stiffened, but she quickly reacted. Doy she can be offended, but she forgot who Doe came with. also forgot about Du Yi's other identity, her maternal uncle is the Marquis of Zhongyong, her aunt Ling Yang is the daughter of Yang Taishi, her cousin is the hereditary little marquis, and her cousin-in-law is the daughter of the military department.
"Come on, set the new table next to the main table!" Originally, I planned to arrange Doe in the corner, but after thinking about the relationship inside, I followed Doe's words and placed the table next to the main table. In this way, it seems that she is respecting Du Yi, or rather, her respect for Ling Yang and others.
When Doy heard this, a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes. Even if the Duchess of this country is not too stupid, she just followed the topic and went down the steps.
After the new table was set up and the things on the table came up one by one, Du Yi took Xiaoshuai and sat down with Lin Heru.
The Duchess of the Kingdom secretly hated in her heart, but she still had to smile and say, "Where is the performance?" Let's continue, the regent has something to do, and there is a lack of a referee, how about asking our master to judge? ”
When Prime Minister Wang heard this, he stood up and arched his hand: "Since this is the case, then the old man should not give in." ”
Wei Rushan waited until everyone shifted their attention to the stage, then got up and walked to the stage. She was going to paint on the spot, but Du Yi was not interested, looked at the things on the table, picked up the chopsticks, and fed Xiaoshuai.
She really wasn't interested in performing a skill like this. These people are just fed and supported, and that's all they will have. If there is a disaster and they are starved to death, they should be on time.
"Yiyi, are you really not going up?" Lin Heru felt that Du Yi should be very powerful, and there was no reason to bury it. What she said just now, although it seems to be the truth, Lin Heru doesn't think so.
"No, wouldn't it be better to take a look down here?" Doe spoke in a very small voice, afraid of being heard. She knew that the people here were very high in martial arts, and they couldn't be careless when they spoke, especially if they wanted Zi Yifeng.
Xiao Shuai blinked, took his own small chopsticks, looked at the empty bowl, thought about it, and said, "Mother, Xiao Shuai wants to eat rice!" ”
On this table, there are some delicate things, but for Xiao Shuai, who is used to eating rice and home-cooked food, it is okay to eat two bites of those exquisite side dishes, but it can't be without rice.
Zi Yifeng had been paying attention to Du Yi's actions, and when he heard Xiao Shuai's words, he turned around and whispered to the people standing behind. Just as Doy was about to ask someone to bring rice, someone had already brought a bowl of rice.
Doe wasn't surprised that this would happen, she wasn't curious about who it was, she didn't have to guess to know. At the moment, he took it with peace of mind, and picked some into Xiaoshuai's bowl: "Eat slowly, what do you want to eat, my mother will clip it for you!" ”
Du Yi touched Xiaoshuai's hair, and saw that his son could eat and drink, and his heart was much more steady. She was afraid that after Xiaoshuai came to the capital, she would be unaccustomed to the water and soil. So far, everything is adapting well.
Du Zilin, who was in the distance, watched all this, and didn't have the heart to stare at the situation on the stage at all. Seeing that Du Yi was like no one beside him, eating and feeding the children, he felt contempt in his heart.
"What a dirt bun, come to this kind of place, just to eat? If you want to eat, won't you go back to eat? What a shame! She said this very quietly, but she still let Xiang Xinhe, who was sitting next to her, hear it.
Xiang Xinhe, who was originally listening to the stage, looked at the main table and saw that Du Yi's mother and son were eating with relish. On the other hand, Lin Heru and the others next to him were staring at the stage with their eyes tightly and were fascinated.
"Is this really that good?" Xiang Xinhe whispered, and then picked up the chopsticks. The ladies at the same table naturally saw her move and looked at her in surprise.
"This white jade tofu is really good, no wonder she can eat it so delicious!" After Xiang Xinhe put down the chopsticks, he picked up the embroidered handkerchief, gently wiped the corners of his mouth, looked at everyone, and glanced in the direction of Du Yi.
The ladies at the same table, except for Du Zilin, all followed her gaze, when they saw that Du Yi had no scruples at all, and was having a big appetite, some frowned, some were attracted by Du Yi, and like Xiang Xinhe, they picked up chopsticks and couldn't help but try some food.
These ladies, on weekdays, will never eat with chopsticks at banquets. One is to pay attention to the image, and the other is to perform, if you eat, turn around and go out of the situation to call it bad. Usually they will eat some pastries on the way there, and when the banquet is over, on the way home, they can eat some pastries to fill their stomachs.
Du Yi didn't know that his actions had caused many ladies, who picked up chopsticks and tried them one after another, regardless of etiquette. This is the first time this has ever happened.
The men's table and the women's seat are separated by a screen, so naturally I didn't see this situation, but the position of the male and female main tables is on the high side, so the male seats sitting on the side of the main table can see it clearly.
I don't know who discovered this situation first, and soon the people at the main table looked at the women's table, and when they saw this situation, everyone was stunned, and even Zi Yifeng subconsciously pinched a chopstick.
"Ling Guogong, the dishes at your table are really good, I don't know who made them?" Zi Yifeng, who originally tried it out of curiosity, only tasted this dish, but asked out loud.
Ling Guogong naturally didn't care about these trivial matters in the house. When the Duchess on the women's seat heard this, she got up and bowed: "Back to the sixth prince, it was ordered by Yiji Restaurant." The Guogong Mansion had only been here for a short time, and I didn't know everyone's tastes, and I heard that the business of Yi Kee Restaurant was good, so I went there and selected these in person. ”
"Yi Kee Restaurant?" When Zi Yifeng said this, a trace of scheming flashed in his eyes.
"Yes, it seems that the food at this Yi Kee Restaurant is really good. Look at this situation, but it doesn't happen on weekdays, especially this chestnut chicken. If it weren't for the use of relationships, this dish would be difficult to buy. ”
When Duchess Ling Guo said this, she looked a little proud. This chestnut is not available at all in this season, which is not at all the same concept as the greenhouse vegetables that can be sold for money.
Now there are chestnut dishes outside, and the price is more than 20 taels, and you have to make an appointment half a month in advance. And there is only one a day, and the one with the highest price gets it.
Today, she was able to get twenty Dao, and it took a lot of connections and a lot of money to get it. This chestnut chicken is not said to be in the capital, even in Fengcheng is extremely rare, and the price is more than ten taels.
"Indeed, I don't know who the owner of this Yi Kee Restaurant is?" As soon as Zi Yifeng asked this, Ling Guogong knew that he was paying attention in his heart.
Now that the vitality of Du Mansion has been greatly damaged, in the past two years, it needs to be slowed down, and there is not much silver that can be provided. The business of this Yi Kee Restaurant is so hot, I am afraid that one restaurant will be able to top many industries in Shangdu Mansion. I heard that this Yiji Restaurant is also available in the entire Purple Moon Country, and in this way, there is a lot of silver that can be earned in a year.
Ling Guogong, who didn't think about it so much, moved his mind after being asked like this. If this Yi Ji Restaurant can be used by them, what if Du Mansion is delayed for two years? They can be like the owner of the Yi Kee Restaurant who cultivated Du Heng Naye.
"I heard it's a man named Ling Fan!" Speaking of this Ling Fan, it is impossible for Ling Guogong not to know. During the previous drought, he had people give porridge at the gate of Fengcheng until Fengcheng was connected with water.
That Ling Fan is a living bodhisattva in the eyes of the people of Fengcheng, and when he heard that the people wanted to make a difficult problem for him, he was suffering from not being able to see him. Being able to give soup porridge for so long at that time shows that the person's financial resources are abundant, and if they can use it, then they don't have to worry about the source of money at all.
What Ling Guogong thinks is what Zi Yifeng thinks. Because Du Heng could not provide him with a source of silver, now he could only use the silver he had taken from the treasury before.
It's just that if it goes on like this, it's not a solution, and it has to be solved. Now this Ling Fan is the person he needs to woo.
"You go and contact that Ling Fan, and say that this king invited him to come to the mansion as a guest!"
Bai Mei stood behind Du Yi, and when she heard this, she whispered it to her as it was. I saw a smile on the corner of Du Yi's mouth, and he felt extremely contemptuous of that Zi Yifeng in his heart. What a leech, where he sees blood, sucks it wherever he goes. I wanted to see her, but there was no door.
"Have you eaten enough?" Du Yi saw Xiao Shuai put down his chopsticks, took out the embroidered handkerchief from his sleeve pocket, and wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth for him.
"Well, mother, Xiaoshuai wants to eat what his mother made!" Xiaoshuai thinks this is delicious, but it is not as good as his mother.
"Okay, when I go back, my mother will make it for you. Now sit down and don't talk to the show in the stands. ”
Du Yi wanted to leave, it was very boring here, either acting or calculating. It's just that Ling Yang's hasn't come back yet, and it's really hard for her to leave.
A performance on the stage had just ended, and Ling Yang and Zi Yicheng had returned. Dooy and his gaze met in the air, quickly shifting, as if they had just inadvertently looked at it.
"Uncle, Xiaoshuai is full!" Although Xiaoshuai has only been here for a day, he knows who is good to him. Therefore, when he saw Du Ling Yang coming back, he said to her sitting beside him in a milky voice.
"Oh? That Xiaoshuai told his aunt, which dish is the best? When Ling Yang saw Xiao Shuai, he couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart, how good it would be if she Ru'er also gave birth to such a big grandson for her.
Xiao Shuai stretched out his short little hand, pointed out all the dishes, and then said, "It's all delicious, but it's not as good as my mother's cooking!" ”
As soon as he said this, Lin Heru and Ling Yang laughed. Their laughter quickly drew people in. Zi Yicheng naturally looked at the smile on Du Yi's face, while Zi Yifeng was confused, and glanced around the three big and one small on the table.
The feast began to come to an end, and the praise had come to an end. It was Li Meixin who got the golden butterfly whiskers inlaid with pearl bees and flowers and golden steps, and Du Yi heard Ling Yang tell her that it was the daughter of Li Taishi's family. As for what she performed, Doe didn't know at all.
Ling Yang took Du Yi and told her without a trace who was who, what was the background, etc., so that Du Yi could understand that when he turned around, he could sit in the right seat.
Everyone left in groups, and Du Yi saw Du Zhigao with Du Zilin, without even saying a word, and left directly. She doesn't think much of their attitude.
Du Zilin sat in the carriage, thinking of the prize that should have belonged to her, the gaze that should have belonged to her, and was taken away by Li Meixin, and she gritted her teeth with hatred in her heart. It's all Du Yi's slut, where Li Meixin's performance is good for her, it's all her. If it weren't for her, how could her aura be easily taken away?
When not to come, but at the end of her performance. That slut must have done it on purpose, absolutely on purpose.
"If you don't have the ability, don't be ashamed, who will you show this expression to now?" Du Zhigao saw the expression on his sister's face, and he was a little angry. This girl really doesn't know what to think, knowing that she is not the opponent of Duyi's cheap girl, but she still bumps into it stupidly.
"Whose big brother are you? I'm being bullied, why don't you come to help me? Du Zilin, who was still angry alone, heard this, and her hands trembled with anger.
There is no difference between this eldest brother and not, his daughter-in-law treats her like this, and now he yells at her again, what kind of ability. In front of his daughter-in-law, he is a man with soft legs.
"Help? What do you want me to help you with what you're doing? Isn't it that Xiang Xinhe and Ling Qixuan are married, are you jealous and want to frame her? I didn't expect to be framed, but I pushed the maid into the lake, right? Who would dare to ask for a woman like you, with such a vicious mind? Fortunately, I am only your eldest brother, not a man you fancie, otherwise I would rather marry a daughter without salt than a woman like you. ”
It is rare for Du Zhigao to say so many words, he is really angry today. If it weren't for Du Zilin, who didn't have long eyes, provoked Du Yi, would Du Yi be able to do so much in front of so many people? Originally, he had made friends with a lot of people, but after being said by Du Yi's cheap girl, he began to slowly distance himself from him, and finally avoided him.
The people who were originally sitting with him had unconsciously changed positions, and the places around him were empty. Who is responsible for all this? Although it is true that Du Yi is a slut, it is Du Zilin, the sister who is not long-eyed, who started first.
The first time he was in the cloister, it was none of his business, it was his sister's problem. So what did Du Yi say the second time, that is, his family problem, he came out of such a family, even if the family was rich, those officials and eunuchs who regarded themselves as superior would not disdain him to deal.
I thought that I would take this opportunity to get to know more people and that his examination would be helpful. It's good now, it's all ruined. And the one who ruined all this was the handwriting of the short-eyed sister in front of him.
If he knew that this would be the case today, he would definitely not bring her here. The shame is not to mention, and it also affects him.
"You ......" When Du Zilin heard this, she couldn't wait to step forward and scratch Du Zhigao's face. But she didn't dare, it was her eldest brother, and the family still hoped that he could be admitted to fame, be able to embark on a career and add glory to the family, and she would have to rely on her mother's family in the future, and she would never offend him.
"I will tell my mother the truth, and when I go back, give me a good introspection. Don't think you're all wrong, just blame others! Du Zhigao's eyes widened, snorted coldly, closed his eyes, and stopped talking.
Orange Rose, who was sitting outside the car, heard this, stretched out her hand to wrap her clothes tightly again, and lowered her eyes with a smile.
When the group returned to the Hou Mansion, Du Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. She particularly dislikes the atmosphere of banquets and the like, which reminds her of things in modern times.
Every time she attends a banquet, it is with a purpose. Her good father is always looking for the best marriage partner, and she is the object of that marriage. Finally, she was going to get married, thinking that this life would be like this. Unexpectedly, an explosion sent her here.
I don't know if God took pity on her, so that she could survive in this time and space in her current identity, maybe all this was arranged in the dark.
Due to the cold night and the snow in recent years, the banquets between these dignitaries in the capital are arranged during the day, and they are generally lunch.
