This banquet was presided over by Zhou Yu, the eldest wife of the Zhou Mansion, and Thrush also helped Zhang Luo because of his selfishness. The Zhou Mansion was originally the official residence of the former Shanghai Daotai, and was later bought by Master Zhou and became a place to settle down.

As an official residence, the layout of the Zhou Mansion is also very exquisite, one step at a time, and you can enjoy the beautiful charm of the mountains and rivers between the lines. Mr. Zhou is a very old-fashioned and traditional person, it is popular to hold a banquet in the restaurant nowadays, but such a 'fashion' Mr. Zhou must not like it, although the thrush is a little careful, but in the end he does not dare to offend Mr. Zhou, and there is her mother on the top, she does not dare to be presumptuous, so she simply proposed to hold the banquet in the Zhou family garden, taking advantage of the spring is not over, and the flowers and drinking are also considered to be all Yaxing.

After Zhou Yushi asked Master Zhou for instructions, he got his approval and agreed. That Daotai lord should be an elegant person who loves mountains and rivers, although several courtyards in the house look exquisite, but the style is similar, only this garden is a little more thoughtful.

It is said to be a garden, but in fact this place occupies almost half of the area of the Zhou Mansion. Guests enter the gate of Zhou's mansion first have to bypass the main courtyard of the house to a moon arch, there is a plaque on the door, mention 'waterfront Shatin', cross the moon arch, you will see a lake water, full of embankment willows, along the stone arch bridge past, is the water corridor, zigzag, the corridor wall is open with carved small windows, through the window to see the past is a scene.

At the end of the cloister, there is a moon arch, the winding stone road is invisible, and on both sides are lush green bamboos, rustling with the wind, which is particularly quiet.

The gravel road finally stopped in front of a water pavilion. There is also a plaque on it that says, 'Lay flowers with the moon', although the furnishings in the water pavilion are delicate but not dull, most of the ornaments are blue and white glaze with fresh colors, the furniture has changed the carved sandalwood in the front yard and uses rattan chairs and bamboo collapses, which is quite interesting in the mountains and wilderness.

Looking at the pavilion, I saw the pool of clear water, the water quality was clear, faintly still flowing, and I thought that this garden was to bring in the living water and raise this scenery.

There is a high-rise building in the southwest corner of the water pavilion, overlooking the whole Zhou Mansion, often used to admire the moon, several rockeries are placed in the pond water, scattered and caused, and there are also a few flowers and plants dotted in the meantime, bright and burning. The name of the water pavilion 'building flowers with the moon' has achieved the right time.

The water pavilion and the high-rise building are connected by a long corridor, and everyone moves to the high-rise building, and now it is a beautiful view. The northwest corner of the water pavilion is a long corridor, through a pavilion in the middle, there is a small boat moored on the side of the pavilion, there are many kinds of trees on the shore, only two kinds of sycamore magnolia, but it does not feel messy, and it is also a blissful thing to want to come to a person to sail on the lake.

The whole garden can be seen above the tall building, at the end of the cloister is a hanging flower door, in the past is a small garden, although it is late spring, but it is still full of delicate gardens, look at it and make people love it.

Further to the left is the 'Waterfront Satin' and the gravel road they passed when they came. The whole garden is composed of three parts, in fact, the scale is not the largest in Shanghai, but it is better than the exquisite arrangement, and the experience of changing the scenery is not found in other gardens. Therefore, everyone who went to the banquet was still having fun.

It took some time for everyone to walk around the whole garden, but now it was time to eat. The thrush will place the banquet in the Suiyue Tower, enjoy the beautiful scenery, eat delicious, and enjoy it.

As soon as the order to eat is passed down, there will be a subordinate to invite the guests to take a seat, after sitting down, that is, to send fragrant tea, dried fruits, candied fruit and other snacks, and so on to Master Zhou and Master Liu, Master Li, Young Master Lu and other guests of honor to sit down, and there will be a subordinate will remove the dried fruit candied fruit on the table, clean up the table, and then serve cold dishes. Because of Master Zhou, the Zhou Mansion is very particular about the rules, and the number of cold dishes is mostly a double number to show good luck, not only that the color, flavor and shape are also perfect.

Master Zhou sits on the main seat, and on the left side are Master Liu, Master Li, and Young Master Lu, because the two elder brothers of the thrush are still staying overseas, so the right hand of Master Zhou is sitting on Zhou Yu's, and the thrush is pouring wine on the side. Although Master Zhou is old-fashioned, the times are different in the end, and he is not allowed to let his wife and daughter go to the table, and he has no opinion on this.

Master Zhou looked at the bright and moving daughter on the side, but hoped that she would fight for some anger in his heart, his daughter was thoughtful, and this banquet may not be for her, if he can find a good husband, it will be a good thing for her and the Zhou family.

Master Zhou thought in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, but he poured a few more glasses of wine on Young Master Lu intentionally or unintentionally. This Young Master Lu is the second son of Staff Officer Lu, and he is the most favored by Staff Officer Lu on weekdays, and in Master Zhou's opinion, Lu Shaoyou is the best candidate.

Thrush is also smart, it only took a moment to find out what Master Zhou meant, and when she stepped forward to pour wine for Lu Shaoyou for the third time, she deliberately moved her wrist and pretended to accidentally rub Lu Shaoyou's.

The fair and warm skin was attached to the back of the man's hand, and the smooth and soft touch made him stunned, and with the action of drinking, his eyes drifted to the girl standing with his head hanging on his side.

The woman looks pretty, a delicate water-red treasure pattern skirt makes her even more charming and moving, her little face is lowered, her cheeks are covered with a faint flush, obviously she was ashamed by the contact just now, her eyes moved down, there was a jade bracelet hanging on her wrist just touched him, and the green color made her wrist more fair and luster, and Lu Shao was itchy in her heart.

The thrush looked shy, but his heart was very calm. Lu Shaoyou is the same age as her, and she is the son of a staff officer, as a guest at this banquet, Thrush has already prepared in advance. Lu Shao is merry by nature and loves delicate beauties the most, and today's time is to cater to his taste.

Lu Shaoyou stared at the thrush a few times, and was about to look away, the shy beauty who was originally bowing her head suddenly raised her head, and a pair of watery eyes looked straight into his eyes, the woman didn't seem to expect him to look at her, and quickly lowered her head after looking at each other, her movements were a little flustered, causing the hairpin on her head to shake slightly, and her pink lips pursed slightly, and even the tips of her ears blushed.

Lu Shaoyou covered it up with a wine glass, and smiled evilly, obviously interested in the thrush. The thrush glanced at the man in front of him, then silently stepped aside, and did not look at Lu Shaoyou again. Thrush knew that for Lu Shaoyou, what tickled his heart but couldn't eat it was the most tempting, and she had done enough today.

Aside from the small movements of the two thrushes, the guests at the banquet were happy. The cold dish is almost eaten, then it is fried hot, mostly four hot stir-fried, that is, in the large plate on the table, it is composed of two kinds of hot dishes, although it is a fight, but it is distinct, it is not ambiguous, these dishes are mainly for the guests to accompany the wine. In addition, there are two dim sums during the banquet, and at the end of the banquet, two meat and two vegetarian stir-fries are served, called "casual dishes", for the guests to use porridge for rice, such as porridge for guests, but also with two plates of sauce side dishes.

The banquet of the Zhou Mansion follows the characteristics of Master Zhou's luxury and good face, and the whole banquet is very cumbersome, which can be regarded as a very decent pomp.
