Today, everyone who came to Shao's house for a banquet has arrived at all the gates of the long courtyard. m.

This year, it is not Mrs. Shao who advocates management, but the new daughter-in-law, not to mention anything else, this year's preparation of gifts is not as luxurious as last year.

Although the Shao family is frugal on weekdays, it is unusual to set up banquets.

But this year, it is much more elegant.

Princess Xian and Princess Ling were led by the ladies of the guests in the long courtyard, and they each moved around in their own way. The two princesses have always been at odds, and the doors where they move around are also watching their noses and eyes.

"There are a few pastries this year that are famous in Jinzhou, but they are not the same last year." Princess Ling sat down at this time, looked at the pastries that came up, and saw that a few things were unique to Jinzhou, so she had to mention them.

Seeing that it was Zhu Jiu who greeted people at the door, she knew that this Mrs. Shao valued Zhu Jiu quite a lot.

Although Princess Ling was related to Zhu Jiu, this family affair in the Shao family was originally something that the old concubine bothered to take, but she suffered a loss in Zhu Jiu's hands.

I came to the banquet this year, whether it was to give Zhu Jiuchang face, or to add to people's blockage, it is unknown.

Hearing Princess Ling specifically mention Jinzhou, Princess Xian looked at Zhu Jiu, who was seated, with a gentle smile between her eyebrows, "The pastries in Jinzhou have also been tasted by this princess before, but I haven't been to Jinzhou for many years, and I didn't think I could taste them here." ”

"It's good if Princess Xian likes it, I heard that Princess Xian stayed in Jinzhou for several months in the early years." When Princess Xian was out of the boudoir before, her family moved to Jinzhou and stayed for a few months, and then the family moved to the capital.

Princess Xian's biological father failed in the scientific examination for several years in the early years, and it was only in that year that he went to the capital.

During the Jinzhou period, it was also the time when the family was in the middle of the road.

Even so, those days were also the most comfortable for Princess Xian.

It was when Zhu Jiu heard about this that he specially prepared a few dim sum from Jinzhou, just to replace the unchanged dim sum from Yucheng.

It is precisely in response to Princess Xian's preference.

In addition, she herself was born in Jinzhou, entered the door last year, and held a banquet in the first year of this year, so it is reasonable to use Jinzhou's things.

"The young lady is used to understanding the minds of others, and I look at this year's flowers are also different, just passing by the garden, I saw a number of unknown flowers, but I feel familiar tightly. If you think about it carefully, most of them are in the countryside, although they are not noble, but they are also elegant. "The one who spoke at this time was the wife of the governor of Liangzhou.

Liangzhou is close to King Xian's fiefdom, and Mrs. Zhang, the governor's family, is used to getting close to Princess Xian.

At this time, seeing Princess Xian and Zhu Jiu and her face, she couldn't help but talk.

Although Zhu Jiu is the eldest young lady in the Shao family, if the door is divided, there is the wife of the general of the Shao family, and you are the general's wife.

In terms of official rank, Shao Mo is higher than the governor's family.

This Mrs. Zhang should have seen that Zhu Jiu still had to make a salute, but today she went to the banquet in the Shao family, and Zhu Jiu did not call Mrs., but a young lady, so she naturally talked about her seniority.

This Mrs. Zhang is a person who can talk, Zhu Jiu was about to reply, only to listen to Princess Ling's sour words and came out of her mouth, "The flowers in the countryside look elegant, and they still can't be on the table in their bones." ”

Saying this, Princess Ling waved the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, and then said: "Just like this person, it is even worse, no matter how high and soaring it is in the future, it cannot be changed." ”

As soon as Princess Ling said this, the ladies present glanced at her one after another.

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed lightly, but she never spoke again.

Speaking of which, I don't know who this is aimed at, but all the ladies here, except for Zhu Jiu's successor, this Mrs. Zhang was born in the countryside, and her father was just a watchman back then.

The ancestors did not produce high-ranking officials, let alone literati, nor were they very scholarly.

Mrs. Zhang was able to marry into the governor's door because her father had saved people and owed a favor.

Although this matter has not been mentioned in Zhangjiamen for a long time now, when it comes to origin, it is inevitable that people will say it.

"Everything in the world always has its own benefits. Just like the cup of tea in Princess Ling's hand, the cloud tea comes from Yinshan, and the people who serve the tea trees at the foot of Yinshan are all from the countryside. There is always tea to know the sweetness of cloud tea, if there is no one to serve the tea tree, no one will know that there is such tea to drink. "The meaning of Zhu Jiu's words couldn't be clearer.

When Princess Ling heard this, she couldn't hold the tea cup in her hand, and her thoughts were a little buried at the moment, "This one who serves people is the third class, how can it be compared." ”

"If you were to say it, wouldn't everyone be able to confuse this royal family."

Zhu Jiuben didn't mean that, but there was also a sentence that said that the Son of Heaven was guilty of the same crime as the common people.

Mix it up and see what it is.

Princess Xian saw Princess Ling picking a thorn from a junior, and couldn't help but speak: "This princess feels that her words are very reasonable, whether it is flowers in the countryside, or those precious flowers, you think it is expensive, it is expensive, if you look down on it, it is naturally like grass mustard in your eyes." ”

"In other words, it's just a matter of getting their own eyes."

It's just a trivial matter, Princess Ling is far away.

"This is just the careful thinking of the younger generations, and please don't take the two princesses to heart." Shao Wu saw that the two princesses were arguing, and took the opportunity to speak, "In the end, it is also the first time that this new daughter-in-law has entered the door, if there is anything wrong, please also ask the two princesses and the ladies to bear more." ”

"Speaking of which, my sister-in-law will not be idle this year, and I didn't expect to hand over this matter to my new daughter-in-law." Shao Wu was dissatisfied, and many of the gift lists she drew up were withdrawn.

This year, the money items that should be rewarded have been reduced by half.

These objects were also supposed to be from the Shao family's treasury, but they could be reduced by half, wouldn't she have to pay out of her own pocket in the three rooms.

Originally, there was no humanity for today's banquet, and the others in the Shao family didn't know.

This year's banquet is mainly elegant, whether it is pastries or things for people to enjoy, they are all ingenious.

As soon as these words came out of Shao Wu's mouth, he fell into Zhu Jiu's no.

seems to be a complimentary, but it really shouldn't be, but it makes people look down on Zhu Jiu.

Zhu Jiu raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, but he didn't make a sound.

Mrs. in the second room of the long courtyard, Shao Changshi just pursed her lips and smiled, and let Shao Wu say the words, she couldn't speak.

Shao Wu's family also doesn't like Shao Chang's set, and she is obviously dissatisfied with both rooms on weekdays, and it is always her turn to say this annoying word.

"How does the second sister-in-law feel?" Shao Wu looked at Shao Chang reluctantly.

There is a banquet today, and the concubine is no longer dissatisfied with it on weekdays, and she shouldn't take it out in public like this.
