Yang explained with a smile: "It's okay, little sister don't worry, we just feel a little strange." ”

Then, she explained the high specifications and high conditions of the chrysanthemum banquet of the lord of Zhirong County, and finally said: "The king of Chengjun is an elegant prince, and the flower-viewing banquet hosted by Zhirong County is mostly to invite girls from poetry and book families and first- and second-class officials. Occasionally, a few women with unknown family backgrounds but extremely talented names may also be invited by the county lord. ”

That's even more wrong, right?

Xia Yanqing was even more confused: "Is our family also a family of poetry and books?" ”

Xia Ke split up as a concubine, and it is said that it is a separate door, and it is not good to touch the light of the old house. Her second brother is barely an elegant person, but he is only a young teacher, and he doesn't seem to be qualified.

When it comes to the status of Xia Ke's father and son, Yang, as a daughter-in-law, is not easy to speak.

Mrs. Jiang said with a smile: "We came out of the old mansion, and we will be side branches in the future." Speaking of which, your father can only be regarded as an ordinary official, and our daughter is not qualified to participate in the chrysanthemum banquet. ”

Gao said with a smile on the side: "Yanqing is the very talented woman, maybe the county lord of Zhirong likes the pottery objects operated in the little sister's shop, so the little sister is also a special woman, and she is about enough to participate in her banquet." ”

Xia Yanqing snorted; "What's the matter? Fourth sister-in-law, don't make fun of me. ”

Just now, the Yang family said that the king of the county is elegant, and he is very famous.

Wouldn't the daughter of a famous man and prince dislike the copper smell all over her body? Just like her grandfather, Scholar Xia, since she had a reputation for doing business, Scholar Xia has never urged her to ask for a husband or something.

She shook her head and coaxed, "The standard of people's chrysanthemum banquets is so high, maybe they will have to chant poems and paint when the time comes, so I still find an excuse not to go." ”

She is not only cowardly, but also busy.

During this time, Mr. Bai led people to prepare for the construction of the workshop, and the craftsmen who Xia Zitang helped to find to polish the jewelry were also found, and they could be there in a few days.

So she has been planning these days to disassemble the two glass cups that were not in good condition that she had fired before, and let the polishing craftsmen process them into various inlaid loose stones.

If the grinder has good craftsmanship and can polish the eight hearts and arrows, it will be even better.

People of this era, because of access or other reasons, have a unique preference for jade and gold and jade jewelry, and rarely cut and polish gemstones with high transparency.

She wanted to take advantage of the gap.

The way and cost of obtaining gems are too high, but she has glass.

If the glass can be made clear and colorful enough, then polish different facets. At that time, the inlaid bare stones reflected the brilliant light, which must be able to shake the eyes of the ladies of this era and not find the north.

Whether these novelties are inlaid on the hairpin ring, or made into collars and necklaces, the brilliant and dazzling brilliance is ...... You can't make money if you want to.

She wants to use the processed glazed loose stone particles to earn back the start-up capital of the pottery workshop and the glaze. Otherwise, with Xia Ke's family background, so many investments in succession, the Xia family's second room will not be able to catch it, and I am afraid that it will affect the normal expenses of the family.

Mrs. Jiang and the Yang family listened to her words, but they did not object, and they acquiesced in her decision.

The young women who can appear in the Chengjun Palace's chrysanthemum banquet are not idle characters. Although Xia Yanqing is smart, if she really sings poems and paints in the field, compared to those people, she is still far from others.

And she is not familiar with the ladies of the boudoir in the capital, and it is not much fun to go.

The matter is settled, and I only have to apologize to the county lord of Zhirong.

However, a few days later, the three girls from the old house came.

At this time, Xia Yanqing was busy, seeing that the miller would arrive tomorrow, she was here with sketches and text explanations, trying to depict the modern inlaid bare stones of various shapes and faceted effects.

When Mrs. Jiang heard the maid's report, she was surprised. Because Mrs. Lu of the Bachelor's Mansion didn't like Xia Ke's concubine, she walked around the two mansions, and most of the people in the second room went to the old mansion.

Except for Xia Ke's two sons getting married, grandchildren celebrating 100 days, catching Zhou, and other major events, these people in the old mansion will not come to the second room of the Xia family in Jishui Lane.

What's more, not long ago, not only did these girls make a lot of trouble because of Xia Yanqing's separation, but a few days ago, these three also went to stir up Qingyunzhai's business and said something that was easy to cause ambiguity in public.

No matter how you look at it, several girls from the old mansion should not come to the second room at this time.

In other words, Xia Yanrong and the others were reluctant to come, at least she and Xia Ruiqing were unwilling.

However, when the mother-in-law of the Chengjun Wangfu sent the post to the University Scholar's Mansion, she also explained the words of the county lord of Zhirong, and thanked the three girls for taking care of the fourth aunt and grandmother in the second room.

That's a bit of a weight. No matter what, Xia Yanqing is also the granddaughter of the Xia family, and she takes care of her sisters, isn't that what it should be? Why was he thanked by outsiders?

After receiving the post, they waited for two days, thinking that Xia Yanqing had no acquaintances in the capital, so they would send someone to talk to them.

But no.

Not only did they not ventilate, but they asked their subordinates to inquire about the people in the second room, and learned that the village girl had not even repurchased her jewelry and clothes.

Is she going to wear old clothes to such a grand banquet? Or is she self-aware and doesn't plan to go at all?

Don't think about it, the biggest possibility is the latter.

So the three of them came.

The three of them greeted Mrs. Jiang in the main hall of Yongheyuan, and the Yang, Gao and Xia Yanqing were late.

Seeing Xia Yanqing, Xia Yanqing's face was slightly embarrassed. A few days ago, when they went to Qingyunzhai to stir up trouble, they didn't expect to go today.

Xia Haiqing sat aside and said nothing, still trying to reduce his sense of presence.

Xia Ruiqing's psychological quality is better, his face remains unchanged, and he gets up to greet him with a smile.

first gave the two cousins-in-law a salute, and then came over affectionately, and they wanted to hold Xia Yanqing's hand, "What does the fourth sister do at home every day?" It's a shame that we're here, otherwise, I'm afraid my sister won't pay attention to us at all. ”

"Where is it?" Xia Yanqing saw Xia Ruiqing's outstretched hand, a chill, and his hands swayed wildly, by the way, he avoided Xia Ruiqing's intimacy, and said politely, "Sixth sister said that she was laughing, please sit down." ”

Turning his head and asking Mrs. Jiang again, "Our kitchen made osmanthus cake today, did you have someone to take it for the third sister and the two younger sisters to taste?" ”

Mrs. Jiang smiled: "Where do you still need to order?" I've already asked people to prepare refreshments. Just sit and talk to your sisters. ”

As he spoke, two maids held trays and brought snacks, dried fruits, and hot tea.

After a few gossips, Xia Ruiqing was worried about the matter, and said casually: "We met the county lord of Zhirong a few days ago, and I heard the county lord say that the chrysanthemum banquet on the tenth day of the ninth month gave the fourth sister a post. We thought that the fourth sister had never participated in this kind of banquet alone, so we had come to ask the fourth sister to go with us that day. ”

Will these three girls in the old mansion be so good to Xia Yanqing? The room was instantly silent, and Mrs. Jiang and a few others also froze.
