Reception Banquet (6)
A palace maid leads the way.
The bluestone paved road is long, and there seems to be no end in sight.
This is the first time Zhu Zhu has entered the palace, even if the old lady has said hello, she is inevitably curious, and although she walks steadily, she can't help but look around.
Pavilions, flowers and trees, none of them are exquisite, and none of them does not amaze her.
The old lady noticed Zhu Zhu's small movements, glanced at Zhu Zhu and said. "Don't look at what you shouldn't see, don't say what you shouldn't say."
Zhu Zhu was suddenly startled and withdrew his indiscriminate gaze. Bow your head and say nothing.
In the place where the banquet is set up, the palace maids and eunuchs come and go, and the eyes are full of all kinds of flowers, competing for beauty and beauty.
There have been many official wives and ladies, and Zhu Zhu doesn't know any of them. Slightly cramped.
The old lady has lived in Yangzhou for a long time and has not been in the capital for many years.
When she was young, the handkerchief was not high, and she was not qualified to come to the banquet today.
Therefore, for a while, many unfamiliar faces naturally had no one to greet them.
After taking a seat, a palace maid came up to ask what kind of tea she wanted to drink, and she immediately served it.
As soon as the tea was served, there was a plate of mung bean cake, a plate of rose-filled mille-feuille, and a plate of fragrant herb crispy plums.
Mung bean cake is a cute oval shape.
The mille-feuille was cut into small pieces, and the rose sauce was put in abundance, and some of it flowed out on the plate, curling into a beautiful and translucent fuchsia color.
The flavor of the spices is fully combined with the sourness of the plums, and it tastes sour and crispy.
Delicate silver cutlery is placed on mountain-shaped chopstick pillows.
Zhu Zhu found that the ones on their table were different from others, so she was very curious and asked casually.
The palace maid naturally replied, "The tea chosen by the lady and the girl is different, and the tea that is naturally matched is also different. β
When Zhu Zhu heard it, he suddenly realized.
Originally, the old lady was going to knock Zhu Zhu again, so she had to ask everything, as if she had never seen the world!
Then a woman came and talked to them, and when the words came to her lips, the old lady had to swallow them back.
"But the old lady of the Huo family?" The woman was dressed in an autumn-colored dress and wore a full set of gold heads, which were dazzling in the sun.
She looked like she was only thirty or forty years old, with a plump body, and now she was smiling all over her face, talking to them.
The old lady felt that this junior was familiar, and she couldn't remember who it was for a while, but she was also kind and smiled, "That's right." You are? β
"My niece's mother is the wife of Lord Hanlin Han, and she is the best friend of her aunt, and you also came to Hanfu to eat and drink back then." The woman smiled brightly.
The old lady smiled knowingly, with a little closeness, "You are Han Sanniang's eldest daughter, right?" Back then, I still came to the banquet! β
"Exactly!" The woman's name was Han Wenchu, and when she saw that the old lady recognized herself, she responded.
"I remember that when you were married, you were married to the third son of the old Wei Yuanhou?"
Han smiled, "Aunt has a good memory!" "She is the lady of the third room of the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion.
"How's your mother doing?" The old lady was concerned about the recent situation of her old friend, and then explained, "I have just returned to Beijing, and there are many miscellaneous matters, and I have not taken time to visit her for a while. β
"My mother's health is still safe, I got on fire a month ago, prescribed a few patches of medicine, and I got better after taking it for a while." Han replied, "When I went back to my parents' house last year, my mother also mentioned the deep sisterhood with the old lady back then. β
"That's it. We were the best in the boudoir back then. The old lady nodded thoughtfully.
Then he praised him, "The husband you married is also angry, and he earned a life for you to come back." is worthy of being the son of the old Marquis Weiyuan. β
Han didn't seem to be willing to mention this topic too much, but just casually replied, "It's just luck." β
This is a subtle answer, Wang Jin is the eldest son, inherited the title of the old Marquis of Weiyuan, and the master of the third room is a concubine, but it is just recorded under the knees of the old lady of the Marquis of Weiyuan. The status of the third room is already embarrassing.
She was born in Qingliu, and she was also in love with the master of the third room back then, so she begged her mother to marry him, and she was incompatible with the concubines who were born in the noble family, and they didn't get along very well.
Over the years, there has been less and less movement, and there is no help, and there is no help.
She also didn't want others to involve his master's achievements with the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, the fame was earned by herself, what did it have to do with the dead tablet?
"This is the eldest girl of the Huo family, right? Born so bright! Han praised Zhu Zhu, but he wondered in his heart, but he was just in the middle and upper position! Where is it worth getting, the reputation of "peerless".
The old lady's face was pale, and it was also fleeting, and she explained, "This is my other granddaughter, Zhu'er, like an aunt!" β
"Pearls have seen Auntie." Zhu Zhu felt bitter in her heart, she really didn't have any sense of existence, when others mentioned the Huo family, how did they know that she Zhu Zhu!
Only then did Han react, and after thinking about it for a while, his mother seemed to have indeed mentioned to him that the old lady of the Huo family did not like her daughter, and raised an unidentified female doll by her side, presumably this one.
In the end, it is also the official family's wife, Han's cultivation skills are very good, and in a blink of an eye, he laughed and scolded himself, "Look at my eyesight, it's really!" Come, good boy, this is for you. β
Han immediately took off the jade bracelet on his wrist and immediately put it on Zhu Zhu's hand.
The bracelet has a good head, and it looks like it is what I wear on weekdays, not a random gift, and I met it today.
Zhu Zhu couldn't refuse, so he had to thank him.
Han Shi wondered in his heart, this Huo family girl is the serious eldest daughter, no matter how eccentric, she won't not be brought out on such an occasion, right?
Fools know that the palace banquet is the best occasion for the wives of all families to see their daughters-in-law, such a rich resource, don't you use it tightly for your own girls?
She also came to the palace banquet to see if there was a girl suitable for her son. She has an only child, in the Ministry of Works.
She doesn't understand other people's affairs.
Han's temperament is refreshing, and it immediately makes the old lady extremely happy. So the two families shared a table.
Seeing that the people were almost here, the voices at the meeting gradually became quieter, and everyone was waiting for the Lord to come.
"The queen is ββββhere," the eunuch shouted, dragging his voice.
The ladies and ladies of each family left the table and knelt down, hula and knelt.
"There is no need to be polite to the ladies of each family." Queen Xu is very affinity, and she doesn't put on any shelf.
But it doesn't matter if you don't look up, as soon as you look up, everyone will find that the queen has brought a girl!
Take a closer look, it's not Huo Shui'er or who?!
Before, I was puzzled by the woman sitting on the Huo family's seat, and I thought that Huo Shui'er was sick or something had changed, but now the ladies of each family have an approximate number in their hearts, and said with emotion, the queen's blue eyes are really different.
Zhu Zhu's eyes were full of incredulity and flames, how could it be her again? Everywhere she is? This time, the queen personally took her to the banquet, which really gave her enough face!
The old lady was also surprised, but she covered it up at once.
Han didn't know what was going on, he just thought that the old lady was not partial, but had a plan, and flattered, "Aunt is blessed!" Big girl is so good! β
The old lady had a stalk in her throat, she couldn't speak, and her face was so stiff that she could respond.
What can she say in this situation?
