Chapter 24 Dinner Routines
In fact, Jinshu is not like the eldest princess, the second princess, and the third princess, especially caring about outsiders' judgment of the status of their husband and wife.
She just thought of the "sympathy for the weak theorem" proposed by Concubine Jing, and felt that it was necessary to do a little foreshadowing before the banquet, if everyone saw that she was not well married, maybe they would be less embarrassed.
But such an esoteric truth, Xiaohuan can't figure it out.
"Princess, you are a member of the royal family, how can you agree to such a condition as the master of the horse!" Xiaohuan combed her hair while holding grievances: "Why did you agree to such conditions just for a mere five hundred taels of silver?" Aren't you afraid that others will know and laugh at you? ”
"Wrong!" Jin Shu raised his hand to retort.
"Huh?" The small ring is unknown.
"It's five hundred and fifty taels." Jin Shu corrected: "Fifty taels is also money, what a lot of money." ”
Xiaohuan resisted the urge to roll his eyes: "We are not short of this money." ”
"Wrong again." Jin Shu saw that she had been bursting with negative energy recently, and felt that she should still educate Xiaohuan well: "Xiaohuan, take the best people's restaurant in our capital as an example, ordinary people eat a good meal, and it is only five or six taels of silver." Have you ever seen a meal of five hundred and fifty taels? ”
Xiaohuan shook his head, I really haven't seen it, unless it is a banquet by a noble person in the palace, it is possible to spend so much money.
"yes!" Jin Shu said earnestly: "We can't stop paying attention to money just because we have plenty of money now. In the future, if you are down, you may not be able to get a few pennies! ”
Xiaohuan looked incredulous: "Princess, you are a princess, how can you not come up with the money?" ”
"Silly!" Jinshu turned his head to look at her, and said seriously: "There is a beggar who often sleeps on the street on Yongxing Street, we have all met, do you remember?" ”
"Remember!"
"That person used to be Zhang Hou's youngest son." Jin Shu said: "In the past few dynasties, there were princesses who were removed and demoted to concubines who ate chaff vegetables. There are many ups and downs in life. Who can guarantee that they will be rich and noble for the rest of their lives? Now my house and car are all registered in the name of the state, and they cannot be resold. Although there are many valuable things, they cannot be pawned, and everyone can recognize them as things in the palace. It's just a little bit every month, and it's not enough to be gifted. If you don't save some private money, how can you do it? A woman's sense of security does not come from a man, nor from a house, but from having money in her pocket! Got it? ”
How did Xiaohuan know that Jinshu had so many crooked truths to say, and after listening to Jinshu's long discussion for a while, he became more and more confused: "Then let's find a way, why do we want to make money from the horses?" ”
"Silly Xiaohuan, I'm going to set him up." Jinshu smiled proudly: "He won't be stupid enough to go around and talk to others about spending money to ask me to do a show." Besides, inviting him to dinner is small, and it is true to let others know that I am not doing well. At that time, maybe some people will be able to find less trouble with me, and he Shen Zhizhang can't eat and walk around, dare to be disrespectful to the princess, and spread it out enough for him to drink a pot, I don't believe you wait to see the show! Jin Shu looked at his makeup in the mirror, straightened his dress and smiled slightly: "Okay! They're almost there, it's time for the show to begin! ”
——————————
It is said that Shen Zhizhang is taking a group of friends to the princess's mansion, and his heart is also up and down along the way, and he said to what extent can these six princesses be obedient? Wouldn't you fool him?
A carriage turned around the corner of the street, and saw the plaque "Ming Garden" of the princess's mansion from afar, Hu Dawei had already excitedly begun to rub his hands: "Dad, mother, this is the first time the child has stepped into the royal garden!" ”
The group walked to the gate, stopped and got off the carriage, and a small servant immediately greeted him, walked straight to Shen Zhizhang, and respectfully: "Say hello to the horse master." ”
Shen Zhizhang was full of spirit and pretended: "Hmm! Get up! You guys...... What about the princess? ”
While speaking, he saw Xia Aya coming out of the side door, and said with a smile: "Please say hello to the master of the horse and the sons." Ladies and gentlemen, please come with your slaves and maids. ”
Gao Xun responded positively, and said sweetly: "There is a sister of the Lao Palace to lead the way!" ”
Over there, everyone is following Xia Aya to the flower hall, along the way to see the scenery in the garden is excellent, the line of sight is open, the grass and trees are exquisite, all kinds of precious ancient trees and strange stones can be seen everywhere, and the people passing by are also extremely well-behaved, and they do not squint at their hands and feet, and they are royal at a glance.
And here Chunjuan is already telling Jinshu: "Back to the princess, the concubine brought seven people, Hu Dawei, the eldest son of the Hu family in the capital, Hu Youwei, the younger brother Hu Youwei, Gao Xun, the little son of King Huan, Hou Zhanfei, the second son of the Ying Earl's Mansion, and Fan Zeng, the grandson of Fan Gelao, and the other two looked at the face and didn't know each other. ”
Jin Shu nodded: "Got it." You stay here and take care of it, Xiaohuan, let's go to the flower hall. ”
——————————
The tea was served for a while, and everyone took a sip to ease their senses. Seven or eight old men sat in the flower hall chatting and gossiping, Gao Xun shook his head and sighed: "It's really worthy of royal style!" This tea is also extraordinarily fragrant! ”
"What you said, aren't you also a serious relative of the emperor! What is acid? Hou Zhanfei smacked his lips: "The best Longjing tea, the person who makes tea is a good craft!" ”
"It's good to marry a princess! Brother Shen married the sixth princess, and I admit it, you said that the poor Tanhua Han Xi is going to marry the fourth princess, do you say it's terrible? Hu Dawei spread his hands: "It is said that toads can't eat swan meat, but I didn't think it would really eat it!" ”
Fan Zeng answered: "No, I heard that the eyes of the four princesses are about to cry blind!" ”
"That's not necessarily, maybe the toad is crying and blind!" Shen Zhizhang whispered: "I heard that the fourth princess is also a violent temper!" They couldn't tell who was crying. ”
For a while, everyone sighed and sighed: "It is possible, it is possible!" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw two palace maids come in, the first palace maid opened the curtain, and the second one came straight in, and respectfully announced: "Master Horse, ladies and gentlemen, the princess has arrived." ”
Jin Shu walked in slowly, only took a few steps forward, and said with a slight smile: "When the distinguished guest arrives, I will miss the welcome, please forgive me more." After saying that, he looked at Shen Zhizhang and was polite: "The horse is fine." ”
Shen Zhizhang was unhurried and slightly excited: "The princess is fine." ”
Everyone hurriedly got up and saluted, Gao Xun was fine, after all, he was from a royal family, and his etiquette was not bad, so he only bowed and saluted: "The sixth princess is fine!" ”
But the brothers of the Hu family, who were born in Shangjia, were a little nervous and restrained, and they didn't know how to greet them for a long time, and their younger brother Hu Youwei was about to kneel down in a panic. Jin Shu hurriedly said thoughtfully: "You're welcome, you are the brothers of the Hu family, right?" ”
"The princess knows us?" Hu Dawei was stunned, he had never seen it, how did he recognize it?
Jin Shuxin said, I have small eyeliner, otherwise you think the tea is for you to drink for free? Besides, so many people look like a nouveau riche rich second generation just because of the bells and whistles you two wear! She thought so in her heart, but on the surface she smiled kindly: "I've never seen it, but the master of the horse always talks about it on weekdays, and it is not difficult to recognize it." ”
Shen Zhizhang hurriedly answered: "Haha, yes." The princess has a heart. ”
Jin Shu smiled kindly: "Where, the matter of the horse is always more careful." ”
Master! Master of acting! The words of the sixth princess made him feel very comfortable! Looking around at the shocked and envious expressions of his friends, Shen Zhizhang became more and more proud, what is the value of this silver spent! He rubbed his hands excitedly, his heart was really full of excitement and anticipation!
"Well, we don't have to be polite here, it's not too early, let's go to dinner, shall we?" Shen Zhizhang secretly gave Jinshu a look. Jinshu received it and said with a smile: "I have already prepared it according to the instructions of the master of the horse, since this is the case, let's go." Little ring, lead the way! ”
Hu Dawei and the brothers both looked at Shen Zhizhang with admiration: This guy is really not bragging? How can he have such a high status at home?
While speaking, the group went to the main hall, Hou Zhanfei walked at the back and secretly gave Shen Zhizhang a thumbs up: You are really good!
Shen Zhizhang raised his eyebrows proudly, shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: Meaningless!
