Chapter 18 Tricky
After half a day, Guiyuan was preoccupied.
She always felt that these guests who came to the princess's mansion made her feel strange.
She can't say exactly what is strange, but she just feels uncomfortable and inappropriate.
By the time the banquet was held at noon, everyone had gathered, and Guiyuan could see it now.
"What a big pomp ......"
Two Meng girls, one brought four maids to wait, those mothers-in-law and long attendants who followed the car couldn't come in, Gui Yuan asked people to ask, and the mother-in-law brought four, and eight people followed.
What about the two princesses? One person, two palace maids, two eunuchs, as for the guards, it was ordered by Queen Cao to double the number of people, and they cannot be counted.
These daughters of the family are bigger than the princesses.
Gui Yuan served Liu Yan, because his princess was still young, and most of the people he had come and gone with were some nobles who had been friends in the old days, and the generals either went to the Cao family, and they really didn't have much contact with the girls of these old families.
In the past, I just heard that they had a big show, and the food was all of the best quality, and the people who served them were hugging each other, and it was not enough for one person to have dozens of people to serve, but now I have seen it with my own eyes.
Gui Yuan didn't have a good impression of these women. Because when she was young, she saw a child about her age, because she was very hungry and touched half a piece of bread, it was really half a piece, not as big as a child's palm, and was beaten to death by the noble man and his wife who said lightly, "beat him for a long memory".
Today, the two girls of the Meng family, seeing the princess, are not restrained, they are having fun by themselves, in the longan view, this is no awe, and Bao Tuo is the same for Princess Fuyu. Even if she doesn't care about the law of the country, Princess Fuyu is still their sister-in-law, right? There should always be some respect for my sister-in-law. In the eyes of these families, not to mention these new dynasty nobles, even the royal family is a nouveau riche family with no background, and the mud on their legs has not been washed yet.
What they eat and drink is so exquisite, where does the money come from? Gui Yuan heard that the people of the family were desperately scraping money, and on the other hand, they were extremely noble and ashamed to talk about money. Outsiders say that their own rules are bigger than the sky, but Gui Yuan knows that these people are the most unruly behind closed doors, and there are all kinds of dirty and bad things.
At this time, the banquet was held, and Gui Yuan felt awkward when he looked at the behavior of those guests.
What are the maids they are doing?
Someone opened the carrying box and took out the braces they brought, saying that the gold chopsticks and silver chopsticks were too cheesy. According to the longan, it is only the use of ivory and rhinoceros horn that it is a loss of virtue, it is all something taken from the body of a living creature, and it is not a shame to use it? Besides, in terms of price, these things are much more expensive than gold and silver.
Even Ginkgo felt that she couldn't see it, but she didn't pay attention to those utensils, and whispered to Gui Yuan while pouring tea: "When you come to the princess's mansion as a guest, you bring the dishes and chopsticks to the house, do you look down on the princess's mansion, or are you afraid that someone will poison them?" Who is this for? ”
"Shut up." Gui Yuan glanced at her: "There are so many people here, don't you want to die?" ”
What the palace ladies have noticed, of course, others will not fail to notice.
Princess Fuyu didn't seem to notice anything about it, and didn't say a word. Since the master didn't speak, Liu Fang had no choice but to swallow back the complaint in her stomach. As for Zhao Yuxi, she never quarrels with others, the more crowded the occasion, the quieter she is, and she can't wait for others to forget her existence.
Liu Fang twisted her head to the side stupidly, out of sight.
The eldest sister is just getting married, although they are not afraid of the Meng family, but everything depends on the face of the eldest sister, and they can't have a discord with the Meng family girl now, which will only make outsiders see jokes when it gets out.
The juggling team invited by Princess Fuyu is really extraordinary, the one who climbs the rope, throws the bowl, and plays the darts, all of them, but the one who breathes fire in the end did not perform, saying that he was injured during the drill and could not play, which made Liu Yan feel that there was a fly in the ointment.
But that's exciting enough.
Bai Zhi came over with a smile on her face, and when she passed by Miss Meng's seat, she heard the two of them whispering, "...... Sure enough...... rude"
How is it rude? If you really look down on it, don't dislike it on the one hand, and peek at the stage with a fan half-covering your face, when everyone else is blind?
Bai Zhi went over and whispered to Princess Fuyu: "Princess, the horse has returned home." ”
Princess Fuyu was a little surprised: "Why did you come back?" ”
"The colt has brought back a few guests, and it hasn't had lunch yet. Princess, what do you think is arranged? ”
Liu Yan had already heard it on the side.
"Big sister can just go and get busy if you have something, don't worry about us."
Princess Fuyu got up with a smile: "Then you eat slowly, if you lack anything, just tell the licorice them, I'll go to the front to take care of one or two, and I'll be back soon." ”
As soon as Princess Fuyu left, the rest of the people became even more distinct. The three princesses were on one side, and the two members of the Meng family and the cousins they brought were on the other, and they didn't even say a word to each other.
Since he knew that there were guests in the house, Meng Yuma had to come over to say hello.
He went out to meet guests today, dressed in a blue-gray robe, with a jade crown on his head, and the whole person was handsome, and when he came in, he walked calmly, except for his thin body, his face was also pale, and he could hardly find anything wrong.
Even if this is thin and pale, it can't be regarded as a problem, the family respects such a look, and it seems that the paler the face, the better.
I really don't know what to look like with a sick face.
"Shou Yan has seen three princesses."
Meng Juma's single name is a word, and Shouyan is his word. It is said that he was born less than a month ago, and he formed an indissoluble bond with Lang Zhong and decoction after his birth. This name was given by his grandfather, and the intention is needless to say, the greatest expectation of the elders for the younger is probably that he can have a healthy body and a long life.
Liu Yan and the others returned the salute together.
Several sisters of the Meng family also got up and greeted Meng Yuma.
Gui Yuan obviously found that their attitude was not like just now, and they couldn't show any arrogance in front of Meng Yuma, looking at the heat of bowing their heads and saluting, they seemed to be a little weak and timid.
Meng Yuma's gaze swept over them, and he only said, "I knew that you would also come over today, so I wouldn't go out, why didn't I say hello in advance?" ”
It turns out that they are also uninvited guests?
I can't really see it.
Gui Yuanxin said that this means that the eldest princess has a good temper and is too polite to them.
It is said that none of these mothers-in-law and sisters-in-law are easy to deal with, but fortunately, the eldest princess naturally pressed them in terms of identity, otherwise I don't know how rude these young ladies are.
The younger of the two Meng girls said: "The last time we met our relatives, the princess said that we could come over when we were free......"
That's kind words! I really listened to it.
