A few days after Jing'er arrived in Quanzhou, she arranged all the personnel in the mansion, and went to the homes of all officials in Quanzhou to invite them to participate in the flower viewing banquet in the mansion.

Now it is the season of spring flowers, the climate of Quanzhou is humid and hot, it is also suitable for raising flowers, Jing'er also brought some potted flowers she likes from Beijing, the flower banquet is not a false name, there are indeed flowers to appreciate.

With the status of Jiang Ji and his wife in Quanzhou, the banquet is naturally full, Jing'er still thinks that this courtyard is too small, and she can't show her hands and feet, but she also tries to arrange the wine banquet and the place to enjoy the flowers perfectly, there is a restaurant in Quanzhou City, I heard that the new commander is going to hold a banquet, so I came to ask, can I buy some wine and food from the restaurant? This is also what many families will do, the family wants to hold a banquet, it is troublesome, take it to the restaurant to eat and feel that the mind is not enough, so they will bring some materials from the restaurant in, and do it in their own home, which can save a lot of things.

Jing'er doesn't care about this kind of small means, she is a noble girl from the capital, if she can't even handle these small tables, she can't make people laugh and lose her teeth, she will go to the winery cellar to buy, the ingredients will go to the vegetable market to buy, she brought two cooks from the capital, and then arranged some people to help in the kitchen, so that things can be done, how can it be so difficult?

She thinks that this is her first show of entertainment in Quanzhou, but she can't lose the face of the couple, Jiang Ji feels sorry for her tiredness, and it's good to buy it in a restaurant.

In the past few days when Jing'er was preparing for the banquet, Jiang Ji asked the wife of a subordinate general to come to the house to assist Jing'er in taking care of some trivial matters, and she didn't need to say much about the things next to her, the focus was to explain the doorways of various families in Quanzhou for Jing'er.

There are only a few people in Quanzhou who can be ranked first, Mrs. Guo focused on the matter of the water division leading the Qin family, Qin Hao is now the clansman of the Taining Hou Qin clan in Beijing, he is the cousin of Taining Hou, but he is the son of his uncle, it is a side branch of Taining Houfu, his father separated from the main branch early, he later made meritorious contributions to the army, and never borrowed the light of the main branch, and now he has not been confused and has sat in the position of the commander of the Quanzhou Water Division, which is considered a high authority, and the Taining Houfu in Beijing is facing the problem of demotion to the lord.

Qin Hao is a person of Zhenguogong's generation according to his generation, Jiang Ji has to call him uncle, but he is only five or six years older than Jiang Ji, and the two of them are on an equal footing.

The matter of the previous entertainment was handed over to Jiang Ji, Jing'er only took care of the back house's daughters, Qin Hao was able to climb so fast in Quanzhou, thanks to him marrying a good wife.

Qin Hao's wife's surname is Rong, she was once the daughter of an official of Chen, and she was a magistrate stationed in Quanzhou at that time, after the Zhou army invaded Chen, their family was a civilian official, and they could not go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, so they surrendered, and they were still in charge of the boundary of Quanzhou, and then the war subsided, and the Great Zhou court sent local officials to take over the land, and the Rong family was a gift and a marriage, so they finally retained their position in Quanzhou.

Qin Hao's wife is the Rong daughter who was sent out by the family to marry, at that time Qin Hao was not young, and only showed his head during the battle of Chen, and stayed in this territory to be a small general, the Rong family gave him his daughter, which is the young and beautiful Rong family, how can this old husband and young wife not love, Rong is not only one face to see, after marrying Qin Ho, he mixed in the Quanzhou noble women's circle, and the gift banquet guests did not fall, and now he finally became the governor of this place with his husband, and he thought that he was a daughter-in-law who had become a mother-in-law for many years. She has flattered others for more than ten years, and now it is finally the turn of others to flatter her, but Jiang Ji and his wife came, and they couldn't afford to put on a score, although Jiang Ji's official position was slightly inferior, but the forces behind them could not be compared to Qin Ho and his wife, who were fighting alone.

When Jing'er heard about the deeds of Mrs. Qin, she guessed that the other party was a clever person, and since she was smart and clever, she was easy to get along with.

After talking about the Qin family, Mrs. Guo mentioned the deputy commander of Quanzhou Jin Jia, the Jin commander and Qin Hao are sworn brothers, they used to be Qin Hao's deputy, after Qin Hao was promoted to commander, everyone was optimistic that he could take over the position of commander of the capital, but Jiang Ji parachuted in and snatched his position.

Mrs. Guo didn't elaborate, but Jing'er estimated that the family was afraid that they had opinions about them, and what if they had opinions, if they dared to say it, they would say it in front of them, and if they didn't dare to say it, they would hold back and don't say it. The Jin family didn't win and could only say that their skills were inferior to others, don't talk about Ah Ji's family background, even if Ah Ji doesn't have this family background, he is stronger than the deputy envoy of Jin, and it is also his ability to reincarnate, who let them not be able to vote for a good lift? If they cast for the royal family, who would dare to fight them?

Mrs. Guo said again: "That Mrs. Jin is the aunt and grandmother of Fuyuan Bofu in Beijing, and the second master of Fuyuan Bofu has just become the eldest princess, and she is the hot upstart in Beijing. ”

Mrs. Jin is Li Yulin's cousin, but not a cousin, is the daughter of Li Yulin's second uncle, the second uncle is the son of Li Yulin's step-grandmother, I heard that Li Yulin's father died early, the second uncle wanted to seek their family's title, fortunately, Mrs. Li was born in the Guogong Mansion, with the help of her mother's family, and helped her three-year-old eldest son to the position of Fuyuanbo, and then quickly divided the family, and drove the old lady to live with the second room, she will give alimony every year, and she will not give a penny.

Jing'er said in her heart that this Mrs. Jin and her are relatives who can't be beaten, and what about relatives, if the Li family is not sensible, she will not let it, there are still people she has to scruple about in Quanzhou?

After a few days of preparation, on the day of the banquet, Mrs. Guo came early, and then followed Jing'er to help her introduce Kaibin, Mrs. Guo's husband was Jiang Ji's former comrade-in-arms, and later Jiang Ji was transferred back to the capital, Guo Qing was still in various military camps, and the two had less contact, and now Jiang Ji was also transferred to Quanzhou, and they could fight side by side to drink and talk.

Jiang Ji said to Jing'er that Guo Qing and his wife are both down-to-earth, Guo Qing is just from an ordinary market, but he knows that he is motivated and his character is also upright, and he used to cooperate with Jiang Ji very happily, and he is still willing to help him where he can, so that Jing'er can take more care of Mrs. Guo. Mrs. Guo is also from a small family, but she is virtuous and generous, and she followed Guo Qinghou to become a petty official wife, and she also has to socialize everywhere, but compared with the official daughters of the Rong family and the Li family, she always seems to be a small family, in fact, it is not her small family, it is the style of those noble ladies who will make her a small family.

Mrs. Guo only knew what a noble lady was after seeing Jing'er, a person with real temperament and cultivation, who took care of people in every detail, and never embarrassed and difficult to step down, Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Jin were small families in front of the county lord.
