Volume I: Chapter 23 Preparations
She didn't expect Song Jiayao to have such a big background, it was the General's Mansion! The officials who hold real power are different from those who have false names after all, so the identities of these young ladies in the house are naturally more noble.
Where has Shiyu seen such a noble figure, and she was about to kneel down as soon as her legs were weak, but she was supported by Qing'er.
Song Jiayao still didn't have any saf, and said as usual: "Sister Shiyu is going to be a word, Jiayao will come to play with Sister Shiyu!" At that time, Jia Yao's clothes will all have to be made by my sister! ”
Seeing that Song Jiayao was still innocent, Shiyu stabilized her mind, and her good impression of Song Jiayao increased a few points.
Those high-ranking officials and nobles, who don't hold a shelf, boast of their noble status, and don't talk much to people with low status. But Song Jiayao, as the daughter of a general, is still the eldest daughter, but she is rarely approachable, and Shiyu likes her a little.
Song Jiayao and Shiyu talked a few more words, and Song Jiayao left. Song Jiayao knows that today's friendship is also climbing, and in the future, Shiyu will be very popular, and she can also help her speak.
Those ladies and ladies love face the most, and when the time comes, they will wear a dress sewn by Shiyu, which is a great face. She only needs to soften her voice, and Shiyu will sew clothes for her, which can be regarded as a potential help.
went to pick up the jewelry she had created, and Song Jiayao picked out some finished products at random, and asked Qing'er to take them in a conspicuous place, deliberately showing them to those subordinates.
She knew where she had gone today, and what she bought would soon reach the ears of Wang Xi and Song Jiaqi, and the two of them only cared about smugness and ridicule, so naturally they would not rest assured.
Three days later.
The house has been busy in the past few days, and no one is idle, but Song Jiayao is having a good time in the bamboo garden.
Due to the remoteness of the place, the bamboo garden is not within the scope of the hairpin feast, so there is no need to arrange it.
Wang Xi was busy with his feet not touching the ground, and he didn't care about her. It's just a form once in a while, pretending to ask for warmth, and then letting people go out with the news.
After a short time, this hairpin banquet was held lively. The ladies and ladies of the various families got the post, hindering the face of the General's Mansion, and they also had some curiosity about the eldest daughter who had never heard of it, so they all happily agreed.
The first banquet of spring was held in the General's Mansion. The general is not at home all the year round, and there are only a few female dependents in the house, so naturally there is no need to be too restrained.
On the contrary, the servants in the general's mansion are like facing a great enemy, and they dare not relax at all. Wang Xi participated in a lot of banquets, and this was the first time to hold a banquet by himself. In the past, there was no reason, and inviting those ladies and ladies did not necessarily give face. This eldest daughter is different, her status is noble, so she has to come and take a look no matter what.
When Wang Xi thought that this honor still relied on Song Jiayao's face, his heart also felt a little uncomfortable. But I didn't want to miss this good opportunity, and I thought of my arrangements at this hairpin banquet, and I felt more comfortable.
What about the eldest daughter? The concubine who has lost face and violated the dignity of the royal family is afraid that it will not be tolerated in this mansion.
The servants below did not dare to relax in the past few days, and cleaned the yard spotlessly, but they were instructed by Wang Xi not to spoil the petals that fell on the ground. They walked and cleaned carefully, for fear that Wang Xi would be dissatisfied with them.
and took a set of exquisite dishes, and all the maids were taught who should use what all day long, and they had a headache all day long, but these maids were also proud in their hearts, after all, not everyone can have this honor and serve in front of these masters.
Although it was hard to learn, I managed to remember it under the constant beating, but I was not smart enough, so I sent it to wait in the corner, and came back again when I was instructed.
Besides, the ingredients prepared here are all for the nobles to eat, how dare the people below be sloppy? Fortunately, the treasury in the palace is quite abundant, the general is a victorious general, and there are many good things rewarded by the emperor.
I haven't used the treasury much over the years, after all, with the face of the General's Mansion, there is naturally no need to rush to give gifts to people. Even if Wang Xi has some branches, they are just small pieces of jewelry.
There are not many others, but there are a lot of Ganoderma lucidum ginseng. After all, it is common for generals to be injured, and some of the people who have the eyesight to see them have also sent ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum to make up for them.
It just so happened that there was a cook in the house who was good at cooking medicinal food, which was originally to nourish the general's body, but he didn't expect it to come in handy at this moment. The temperature changes quickly in spring, and the ladies take off their heavy winter clothes for the sake of looking good, and it is cold at night, so they can't help but catch a cold.
Drink a few bowls of bitter medicine for a few days, and it will be good, but it will inevitably fall into the root of the disease. Although the medicinal diet is made of medicine, it is also very easy to eat when it is done well, and it is liked by people. There is a doorway among them, there are not many people who can make medicinal diets, and it is even more difficult to find capable people who can make medicinal diets well, and it took a lot of effort to find this one in the house.
Moved the medicinal materials out of the warehouse, told the chef to think about the dishes, and pointed out a few clever helpers, but it was not a big problem.
There are not many fruits in spring, but it is refreshing to store some juice. It's all Mrs. and Miss, and naturally it's not good to drink all the wine, so what will it look like? The hairpin banquet is changed to flower tea and juice, which is unique.
The garden in the yard is also pruned by people, and the green leaves are lined with red flowers, which is very beautiful. The lake pavilion is also decorated, put pen, ink, paper and inkstone, there are a few talented women, if there are a few pairs of pairs, it is also a matter of fun.
Singing and dancing are exempt, and such gaudy things cannot be put on the stage. Wang Xi thought about it again and again, but he still ordered someone to deliberately seclude a stage. Surrounded by colorful silk, and decorated, it also has a unique flavor from a distance. If someone dances on it, it doesn't hurt to have the beautiful scenery behind them.
Wang Xi also put some thought into arranging the stage, her dancing skills are exquisite, and it is because of this that she has entered Song Feng's eyes. Although his face has been a little old in recent years, he still has a youthful demeanor even if he hides it with fat powder. In particular, Wang Xi did not let go of his dancing skills, his posture and demeanor were still graceful, and he looked back and smiled when he danced, which was also very attractive.
With this stunt, Wang Xi naturally won't let Song Jiaqi fall. Taught personally since childhood, Song Jiaqi is very light and graceful at a young age, and she can faintly see her demeanor later.
It's just that Miss Everybody is proficient in dancing skills, and she has come down in the end. Wang Xi has been hiding it tightly, and he has no chance to show it, looking forward to the day when his daughter will fight for her anger and make a name for herself, and she will also give her a long face.
Although Song Jiayao didn't have Wang Xi and Song Jiaqi to make trouble, she was not idle. Many details of this life have changed, and she doesn't know what means Wang Xi will use at the hairpin banquet. I'm afraid this dress alone is not enough, after all, Wang Xi's vicious temperament will suppress her to the bottom as soon as she makes a move.
The higher you hold it, the harder you fall.
Song Jiayao is very clear about this truth, so she is not proud of Wang Xi's kindness these days. She was the one who lived a new life, although she was the body of a fourteen-year-old girl, she pretended to be the soul of a child.
The experience in her previous life was too unbearable, and now she will not be so naïve. She will make these people pay the price!
When Song Jiayao thought of this, she didn't feel a little cold on her body. The eyes are no longer innocent and clear, but they are indeed full of resentment, which makes people feel cold all over their bodies.
Xingying was coming from outside at this time, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Song Jiayao's eyes like this, and she shuddered.
How could the young lady have such a big resentment? But a fourteen-year-old child, this all-round style is so terrifying!
Xingying was scared out of a cold sweat, but Song Jiayao before meeting her returned to her usual appearance, waving her hand and calling her: "Xingying, you are here." ”
Xingying hid her surprise, and pressed her shoulder carefully for Song Jiayao as usual. Song Jiayao always had a sore shoulder for some reason, thinking that it was because of the rain today and the dampness.
Xingying secretly hid what happened just now in her heart, and no one can say it, Miss is strong, which is a good thing. If the four of them follow a naïve person, then it is called depression.
Song Jiayao was unhappy, and her expression was a little sad, but the hairpin banquet was tomorrow, and she had to cheer up. Since she borrowed the excuse of her illness, she also wants to show twelve points of spirit and amaze them.
Besides, Wang Xi and Song Jiaqi don't know what moths are going to come out, so it's better to guard against them. Lan Jiu is a person who understands some pharmacology, Song Jiayao instructed Xingying to let Lan Jiu come, tomorrow everything she eats must be carefully examined, and the food that is mutually reinforcing must also be carefully watched, so as not to catch the way.
Lan Jiu lowered her head and responded one by one, and secretly said in her heart that Miss was so careful, how could she be like a fourteen-year-old girl. Although the young ladies in this inner house are inevitably precocious, their young ladies are too thoughtful.
Surprise is surprise, Lan Jiu still remembered it. Wang Xi's grievances with his own young lady, the four of them also knew about it from Qing'er's mouth. I couldn't get used to Wang Xi's foxy aura, and I knew that my young lady was treated so badly, and she was also jealous and hateful.
Several people united the front, and the four of them were maids with Qing'er, and they didn't know how many times they had secretly scolded Wang Xi in their hearts. Wang Xi has been sneezing a lot these days, she thought that she was overworking and suffering from the cold, so she asked the doctor to prescribe a few patches of medicine and drank it, but she didn't care.
At that time, Mianwu will stay in the dark, she is the strongest martial artist, and she is easy to do in the dark. Iris followed Song Jiayao closely, although Iris looked weak, but her strength was indeed not small, and she could stand in the way of anything.
Lan Jiu was responsible for inspecting the food in her mouth, just as early as she was aside, and she didn't bother to look at her. Xingying was left in the bamboo garden by her, but she didn't complain. Xingying is the biggest of the four, and she can hold the field, and she is relieved to see that Zhuyuan does not let people in.
Qing'er naturally had to follow, but this Wang Xi said a few days ago that there were not enough people, and there were these four people by her side, so she couldn't let Qing'er go.
Fortunately, Wang Xi really just asked Qing'er to help with some light work, and by the way, he transferred Qing'er away. Song Jiayao felt that her brother's four maids were really timely, if there were no four of them, she would be alone at this time. It's more reassuring to have your own people around.
After everything is done, this hairpin feast is finally about to begin.
