Chapter 373: The old lady secretly made a move
Mrs. Kong cleared all the people around her, leaving Xiao Shu alone to speak, "Yuan Niang and Sister Yan are not young, and now they have moved to Jinling City, and it is time for them to see each other's relatives." β
"I also have this intention, but when I first arrived in Jinling, I don't know much about the families, and I have to pick and choose those of the same age." Xiao Shu's mouth replied, but in his heart he wondered why his mother-in-law suddenly asked this.
"Aren't there a lot of families who have sent greeting stickers? It's also troublesome to entertain them one by one, so I think it's better to hold a banquet and ask them to bring the appropriate brothers and sisters from the family, so that they can take a look at each other in disguise. β
"Mother said that it is a good way, then I will write a post in a while and pick a good day for people to visit."
"Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, let's set it on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and everything will be fine that day." Mrs. Kong did set the day, and she was still in such a hurry.
Xiao Shushi responded with a smile, and waited out of the yard before the smile on his face retreated, it was impossible for my aunt to suddenly do such a thing in such a hurry, unless she was worried about something.
mentioned the relationship between Sister Yan and Yuan Niang, could it be related to this?
Xiao Shu's heart was heavy, and after he went back, he asked people to take the worship stickers he had sent before, and then let people send them out one by one.
The day was set too tight, Xiao Shu's called two daughters to come over to help, after Xie Yuanniang married into the Gu family in her previous life, she did this, pretending not to understand, but when she got started, she could see her ability.
Xiao Shu's eldest daughter was relieved, but Sister Yan didn't understand it, but fortunately, people were smart and thorough, so Xiao Shu's took people with him and taught them slowly.
Gu Yuan over there heard the news handed back by Jiang Yi, "Sister-in-law posted it back over there?" β
He was surprised.
Jiang Yi said, "The last time I held a banquet, I wanted to show the second master his relatives, the second master was not in Jinling, and the old lady didn't take a fancy to it, this time the second master happened to be in Jinling, and it was Confucius who held a banquet, and the noble family in Jinling City would go to most of it, and the old lady asked the eldest lady to go over to help the second master take a look." β
Gu Yuan glanced at Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi didn't dare to snicker in his heart, and lowered his head coldly behind him, only to hear the second master say, "Go down." β
Jiang Yi hurriedly retreated.
Gu Yuan looked at the book in his hand, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, he asked people to leave a note, and the little girl immediately took action, just hoping to achieve her wish.
But it is said that Confucius held a banquet, in Jinling City did cause a lot of turmoil, the ancestral home of the Confucian family is in Jiangning County, several generations have not been in the court as an official, now Kong Confucianism has broken the precedent, first became a prince, and won the trust of the emperor, protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the court and the opposition, how can such people not look up.
And from the post that was sent, it was also revealed that the Kong family intended to see each other's relatives for their daughter.
Everyone thought of Xie Yuanniang, who recognized him, the former Jinling Shuangshu, and the Kong ink inkstone that was mined at the ethnology debate.
If you want to talk about these two girls from the Kong family, they are really famous.
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the Confucian Mansion opened the main gate early in the morning, and there were several mothers-in-law and girls standing at the door, waiting for the guests to come to the door.
After a short time, the guests came over one after another, and were led to Mrs. Kong's courtyard one by one, and the ladies of each family stayed in Mrs. Kong's courtyard, and the girls brought by Xie Yuanniang and Sister Yan were entertained by Xie Yuanniang and Sister Yan to Xie Yuanniang's courtyard.
The people who came were old acquaintances.
However, Xie Yuanniang had never been in contact with it before.
Cao Qin, Ma Yingshuang, Wang Xiaofatzi, Bai Jianxi, Nanrong County Lord, Zhao Zhizhi and these people are all here, even Cheng Heyan, who doesn't show up much outside, is also here, of course, Xie Wenhui and Xie Yishu are here.
For a while, the warm pavilion was full of people, some were playing chess on the soft couch, and some had good personal friends talking together, these people used to look down on Xie Yuanniang, but now they can't wipe their faces and get close to her, so they are all around Sister Yan.
Xie Yuanniang felt that it was better to end up relaxed.
Even Ma Yingshuang was also entangled by Cao Qin and couldn't get out, and there was only one Wang Xiaofat man by Xie Yuanniang's side.
"Would you like to go outside?" Xie Yuanniang asked in a low voice.
Wang Xiaofat nodded, Xie Yuanniang got up at this time, and walked out of the warm pavilion with Wang Boyan without alarming.
How could no one see the two of them when they came out, but everyone didn't ask, so Xie Wenhui was interested in it.
"Sister Xie, when are you going to see my cousin, help me say hello, it's inconvenient for me to go to see her now." Dongnanzhi secretly glanced left and right, and saw that no one was looking at her, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Xie Wenhui smiled, "The Ren family doesn't know what the situation is now, it's not good for me to come to the door rashly, wait for tomorrow I will send a post, see Sister Dong reply to the post." β
Dongnanzhi nodded, it was already difficult for people to help talk, "In the past, Sister Xie and my cousin were the best, but now I can't think of anyone to ask for and let my sister laugh." β
Xie Wenhui wanted to follow Xie Yuanniang, where could he still sit still, and politely said that he was in a hurry, and then went out.
When she came out, she naturally couldn't see where Xie Yuanniang went, so she could only ask the girls in the courtyard, and the girls in the courtyard all shook their heads, and Xie Wenhui also knew that this was not Xie Fu, so she could only find it by herself.
Today's Confucian Mansion banquet guests, male guests are in the front yard, entertained by Kong Shiguang, although Kong Shiguang is only fourteen years old, he is very calm.
Bai Pin stood at the window, looking at the people in the study who were doing poetry and painting, smiled, and his eyes fell to the window again, he likes to read, but what he reads is medical books, so on such an occasion, he can't go with everyone.
"Bai Gongzi, do you want to go to the garden in the back? There are several koi fish in the lake in the prefecture. Kong Shiguang saw Bai Pindu standing at the window, so he stepped forward to propose.
Bai Pin smiled and shook his head, "It's not good that I'll leave alone, and it's good to watch everyone make poems." β
"Brother Pin, you don't like to just go, which one here is not familiar, no one picks on you." It was Cheng Zixing who spoke.
Jia Chengzhou also put down the pen in his hand, "I'll go with you, I heard that there is a lake with the most beautiful scenery in this house, and I have a chance to take a look at it today." β
Bai Pin didn't want to refute the kindness of others, so he responded, Kong Shiguang didn't want to leave, so he asked Brother Ming to entertain him.
They are all young, and it is impossible for Father Kong to show up, but now there is only Kong Shiguang in the mansion as a young master, so Brother Ming's nephew has played a role.
In the backyard, I saw the cold snow rushing to the garden, "Girl, I inquired." β
Wang Xiaofat was puzzled, Han Xue had already whispered in Xie Yuanniang's ear, and Xie Yuanniang's eyes lit up slightly.
I thought I was going to make peace, but now it seems that God is helping her, she whispered two sentences to Han Xue, Han Xue was stunned, but seeing that the girl didn't seem to be joking, she solemnly retreated.
