Chapter 666: Summer Feast
At present, the guests are all close to their families, and almost all of them have a twisting and turning relationship with the Dingguo Marquis Mansion. After all, the Dingguo Marquis Mansion is also a century-old Marquis Mansion, and after so many years, it is natural that it has an intertwined relationship with many families.
Some people prefer the second room, so they are naturally more distant from Jiang Baoqing's big house, and Jiang Baoqing doesn't care about it at all.
There are those who are biased towards the second room, and naturally there are those who are biased towards the big house.
The wife of the Nangong family, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, led her youngest daughter Nangong Qin over to participate in this summer banquet. Nangong Qin saw Jiang Baoqing from a distance through half of the flower bed, and his eyes lit up.
"Oh, Baoqing, I haven't seen you for a while, you seem to be more beautiful." Mrs. Nangong greeted Jiang Baoqing with a smile.
Nangong Qin leaned over even more familiarly, and was about to take Jiang Baoqing's arm, but was glared at by Mrs. Nangong, and the outstretched hand stiffened and retracted.
Jiang Baoqing couldn't help laughing.
"Who is this?" Mrs. Nangong looked at Jiang Qing, who was following Jiang Baoqing.
This dress is not a subordinate at first glance, but I don't know which lady it is?
Jiang Baoqing introduced Jiang Qing to Mrs. Nangong: "...... This is the housemate. Aqing, say hello to Mrs. Nangong and Miss Nangong. ”
Jiang Qing saluted Mrs. Nangong obediently and in a regular manner: "Hello Mrs. Nangong, Miss Nangong is good." ”
"Oh, that's so good!" Mrs. Nangong remembered what she had investigated. Jiang Baoqing and Jiang Yunshan, two siblings, also adopted two lonely boys and girls and considered them younger brothers and sisters.
I guess this is the sister.
Mrs. Nangong already had the intention of saying goodbye to the Jiang family, looking at Jiang Qing at this time, she naturally liked it a little, she took the bracelet on her hand directly, and picked up Jiang Qing's hand affectionately: "What a good little girl, come, take it, meet the gift." ”
Generally, the good people of the family will take off the jewelry directly from their own body and give it to the other party, Jiang Qing was a little stunned, and subconsciously looked at Jiang Baoqing.
Jiang Baoqing knew that the palace plan was comparable to that of Lord Nangong of the Ministry of Rites, so he nodded slightly.
Jiang Qing accepted it, and thanked Mrs. Nangong with a shy smile.
"Oh, no thanks," Nangong Qin knew that Jiang Qing was Jiang Yunshan's sister, and she was even more affectionate, "It's all a family, thank you what." ”
Mrs. Nangong twitched her cheeks and glared at her little daughter.
Nangong Qin immediately changed her words: "I mean, your sister and brother-in-law are very familiar with my father and mother, just like a family, you don't need to see outside." ”
Mrs. Nangong was speechless.
This is thanks to the fact that there are no others nearby, otherwise, her little daughter is afraid that she will not be able to get married!
Mrs. Nangong was a little embarrassed, and sighed with Jiang Baoqing and Jiang Qing: "...... This daughter of mine, alas, was born to restrain me! ”
Jiang Baoqing and Jiang Qing couldn't help laughing.
Although they are all Jiang Yunshan's younger sisters, Jiang Baoqing is married after all, and there is Mrs. Nangong chatting and staring on the side, Nangong Qin is a little unable to show off if she wants to pull a relationship. As soon as she rolled her eyes, she went to pull Jiang Qing's hand and grind her mother: "Mother, I want to go to the garden for a walk." ”
After speaking, without waiting for her mother to frown and refuse, she went to Yang Jiang Baoqing again: "Baoqing, can you lend me Sister Qing'er and take me to play?" ”
It is rare to have someone of a similar age to play with Jiang Qing, and Jiang Baoqing entrusted Zheng Nan to protect Jiang Qing in secret, she was not worried about Jiang Qing's safety, and responded very simply: "Ah Qing, take Miss Nangong to the garden for a walk." ”
Jiang Qing wanted to help Jiang Baoqing share some of the fatigue of hospitality, but this Nangong Qin was too enthusiastic, and she was going to pull her out to play when she saw her for the first time, and she really didn't know how to refuse. At this time, seeing that her sister had opened her mouth to agree, she hesitated, but nodded.
Nangong Qin happily took Jiang Qing's hand and went out, the maids of the two followed behind, hula, Jiang Baoqing and Mrs. Nangong suddenly quieted a lot.
Mrs. Nangong held her forehead: "My daughter, let you laugh." ”
Jiang Baoqing said with a smile: "Miss Nangong is innocent, lively and cute, where is there anything to laugh at." ”
Mrs. Nangong's heart moved, she looked at Jiang Baoqing, and said tentatively: "...... I heard that your brother is going to participate in the Autumn Festival this year, how are you preparing? ”
This topic was directly transferred from Nangong Qin to Jiang Yunshan, and the intention was simply not too obvious.
Jiang Baoqing remained silent, just as Mrs. Nangong was chatting with her casually: "This, I can't say it well." However, I see that the state of mind in my brother's letter is quite peaceful, and there is no sense of anxiety and boredom, so it should be okay to prepare. ”
Mrs. Nangong nodded in agreement: "Calming down is the most important thing, I heard my master say that every year in the examination room, a number of fainting because of too much nervousness must be carried out." ”
"Ah, is it? Is it so difficult to do scientific research? ”
"It's not that hard ......"
The topic of the two turned to Qiu Yu again.
After chatting for a while, the Mu family sent someone over to call Jiang Baoqing to help, Jiang Baoqing showed an apologetic look and ended the conversation with Mrs. Nangong.
Mrs. Nangong smiled and waved her hand: "You are busy with your going, I will go to the garden to see the two children in a while." ”
Jiang Baoqing said goodbye according to the courtesy.
There were more and more people who came to the banquet, Jiang Baoqing called to look for willows, whispered a few words, and looked willow's eyes moved, and he took the order.
In this summer banquet, Mrs. Wen can be regarded as the protagonist, she travels around among the ladies of various families, and the long-sleeved and good dancing people greet each other warmly, which is both warm and does not make people feel stuttered, like a spring breeze, and the guests almost have a smile on their faces.
The dishes on the luncheon banquet look like they have been carefully studied and matched, and they are very appetizing just by putting them on the table, and even the porcelain used for plating them is very particular.
Some of them are attached to the Marquis's Mansion, so they naturally boast about it.
Second Mrs. Wen smiled and said: "Where, this is my daughter-in-law's help, you should praise her if you want to praise her." ”
The last time Princess Derong "instructed" Second Lady Wen in public to delegate power, it almost became a matter known to the back house of the powerful families in the capital. At this time, Second Mrs. Wen took the initiative to propose that this was the responsibility of Mrs. Bai, the prince of the world, and many people knew it in their hearts.
This is also to show that he has not grasped the power of the house.
There is a number in the heart, and it is still necessary to boast.
Everyone praised Bai Shi from beginning to end.
Bai smiled gently and quietly, and was not fluttering because of everyone's praise, nor was he arrogant, and this generous and frank appearance won the secret admiration of many people.
After the luncheon, Mrs. Wen arranged different activities, setting up a singing board in the flower hall, and arranging a singing stage in Shuiting at the other end of the garden, with a garden between the two, saying that they were afraid that the sound would disturb each other.
Those who like to listen to the singing board stay in the flower hall to listen to the board, and those who like to listen to singing will go to Shuiting.
Mrs. Wen and the others stayed in the flower hall to entertain the guests who listened to the big board commentary, Jiang Baoqing and the Mu family, as well as the Lu family in the third room, accompanied the guests to the Shuiting stage.
When he arrived at Shui Ting, Jiang Baoqing took the excerpts to several ladies and asked them to order their favorite songs, and they babbled and sang on the stage.
