The reception banquet for Yao Yuerong was arranged in the flower hall in front of the old princess Shouhui Hall.

Sanniang sent a steward to clean and arrange the flower hall early in the morning, and arranged the kitchen, and she also personally looked at the menu.

Sanniang specially explained that the kitchen added a few Anyang dishes, such as Babao cloth bag rain, three smoked platter, sea stewed vegetables, knotweed flowers and flour rice. It's all ordinary dishes, but the chefs in the palace are very delicate.

Because Xuan Shao said hello in the morning that he would come back later in the evening, Sanniang arrived at the old princess's courtyard some time in advance, mainly to see if there was anything else that needed to be arranged. Although the guest was only a little girl, she was the old princess's maiden family. And since Cheng Guogong returned to Anyang with his family, Prince Zhuang's mansion has not been to the old princess's mother's family.

Sanniang knew that in fact, the old princess still valued it very much, so she naturally didn't dare to be sloppy.

"Grandmother, when he went out in the morning, he said that he would come back later because he had official business. Originally, I didn't know that Cousin Yuerong was here today, otherwise it would have been nice to make arrangements earlier. The three pairs of old princesses and Yao Yuerong, who were sitting on the Luohan bed and talking, said.

This is naturally a polite remark, but the old princess also understands.

Yao Yuerong hurriedly said: "Didn't you say that you want Yuerong to treat this place as your own home, my cousin-in-law said this, but I saw the outside." The eldest cousin has official business, how can he delay because Yuerong is here? Later, Yuerong saluted her cousin again. ”

The old princess smiled and patted Yao Yuerong's hand and said, "Your cousin-in-law just can't speak, let's ignore her." ”

Sanniang made a joke: "Grandmother, this Yuerong cousin has only been here for a day, and you are so partial to her?" The granddaughter-in-law is not dependent. ”

The old princess smiled even more happily.

At this time, the housekeeper came to report, and the kitchen was ready, and asked Sanniang when she could start the banquet.

Sanniang asked the old lady.

Yao Yuerong said: "Why haven't you seen the princess and the county lord all the time?" Yuerong hasn't said hello to the princess yet. ”

There was silence in the room.

Yao Yuerong seemed to notice that something was wrong, and hurriedly changed the topic with a smile: "Look at me, I almost forgot." When Yuerong was at home, she embroidered a forehead for the princess with her own hands, and forgot to take it out to give to the princess when she entered the house in the morning. Yuerong asked the maid to go back and get it. ”

The old princess smiled: "Good boy, you bother. Then he turned to Sanniang and said. Send someone to Whelan to see if she is better, if she is better, let her come over to see her cousin Yuerong. ”

Yao Yuerong frowned and said, "Is the county lord sick?" If you're sick, just rest. It's the same for seeing you later. ”

The old princess smiled: "It's okay." As for your cousin, she is now living in the Buddha hall because of her dedication to the Buddha. Let's not bother her with mundane things, let her be. ”

Yao Yuerong responded obediently and didn't ask any more.

Sanniang asked Bai Ying to go to the courtyard of the county lord of Huilan in person, and talk to Mama Shen, and the old princess asked the county lord of Huilan to come out to meet the guests. Bai Ying immediately took the order.

Mama Zhang, who went to the front yard, came back and said that King Zhuang Jun had not returned today, and I heard from the staff that King Zhuang Jun also had a party tonight. Xuan'an was invited back in the afternoon. Will come over in a moment.

Sure enough, Xuan'an came after a while, and one thing commendable about this prince is that no matter how foolish he is outside, he is always well-behaved in front of the elders, and he will take a bath and change clothes to get rid of the alcohol on his body before he comes to see the elders. It's just that Sanniang smelled the scent of smoke coming from afar on his body, and she was really a little uncomfortable.

Xuan'an honestly asked for peace, and greeted Yao Yuerong again, so he sat on the side. He glanced at Yao Yuerong twice and then looked away. Yao Yuerong looks good, but unfortunately in the eyes of this prince, he still laughs and scolds the wild flowers without scruples, which is more in line with his aesthetics.

After waiting for a long time, the old princess was about to give the order to serve the food first. The county lord of Whelan is long overdue.

The old princess was also stunned when she saw the county lord of Huilan for the first time, but then nodded secretly in her heart.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the county lord of Whelan, who has not seen her in just a few months, is now described as reborn.

With a round face and a round figure, at first glance it is blessed and easy to raise, and the eyebrows and eyes that were slightly sharp before can no longer find the slightest trace. Just looking at this appearance, it is easier to please the elders.

She stepped forward with her head bowed and took small steps, saluted the old princess, and spoke softly.

The old princess was even more satisfied when she saw this, she glanced at Mama Shen, who was following behind the county lord of Huilan, and said, "Very good, you have worked hard." ”

Mama Shen curtsied to the old princess. Seeing that some of the guests didn't say anything more, they stood aside like the other maids.

It was Xuan'an, who smiled and circled around the county lord of Huilan, touched his chin and said, "Sure enough, Shibei should be impressed for three days!" Not bad, not bad! Or grandmothers will teach! ”

If it was before. Whelan had already glared at each other with raised eyebrows, and sneered at each other. Today, he stood there with his head bowed, and he didn't raise his eyelids, and he thought that Xuan'an was air.

It wasn't until she heard that the old princess asked her to meet Yao Yuerong that she stepped forward to meet Yao Yuerong step by step.

Yao Yuerong looked at her curiously, and said to the old princess with a smile: "Cousin Huilan is really gentle and dignified, when she was at home, her grandmother told Yuerong how the ladies in Beijing are, and after Yuerong enters Beijing, she should see and learn more, and Yuerong was not blessed." Now looking at Cousin Whelan, it's not okay to be unconvinced. ”

The old princess was naturally happy when she heard this, and she also felt that Huilan was worthy of being called a woman of the Xuan family.

"Yuerong is also excellent, many famous ladies in Beijing are not as good as you." The old princess's words were not pure comfort. Yao Yuerong's appearance and temperament have no shortcomings, and he can compare to more than half of the people who are among the famous ladies in Beijing.

"Okay, since everyone is already here, let's set the meal." The old princess instructed Sanniang.

Sanniang went to tell the maid to go to the kitchen and give an order.

Because it was a family banquet, there were few people and there were elders, so Xuan'an was not allowed to eat alone.

The maids entered the house and set the dishes with their lids on the table.

When the dish was revealed, Sanniang also reported the name of today's dish to the old princess. The old princess was very satisfied when she saw the local dishes of Anyang. Yao Yuerong also thanked Sanniang gratefully for her thoughtfulness.

Xuan'an was curious: "Since it's my grandmother's hometown dish, why don't I see my grandmother eat it often on weekdays?" ”

The old princess sighed: "I was born in Beijing, and I heard my mother say that the old grandfather often taught his father that they said that when they entered the countryside, they should follow the customs, and since they have settled in Beijing, what the people in the capital eat, what they eat in the house." If my ancestral home is Anyang, I rarely eat Anyang cuisine. ”

This old Chengguo Gong must be a very intelligent and wise man, Sanniang said to herself.

"Sit down and eat." The old princess took the lead and took the seats, and the rest of the people also took their seats in turn.

Naturally, no one spoke anymore during the meal, and even the sound of the tableware colliding was very small.

Sanniang unconsciously paid attention to Yao Yuerong, and couldn't see what her preferences were in eating, she ate all the dishes given to the cloth by the maids, and they all ate them cleanly.

After eating, everyone accompanied the old princess and talked for a while. But the old princess sent everyone back to their own courtyard to rest.

The county lord of Whelan didn't say a word, and bowed and retired. Yao Yuerong said, "I'll go with Cousin Huilan, I happen to have a companion." "Her yard is a short distance from the yard of the county lord of Whelan.

The old princess was still very satisfied with the current county lord of Huilan, and with Mama Shen by her side, she was not worried that she would offend the guests as pampered and arrogant as before, so she nodded and said, "You are sisters, it is good to be close and close." ”

It is said that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, and the children in the family make friends like Yao Yuerong who are stable and courteous, which is the most reassuring for parents.

Sanniang also went back to her yard.

On the second day, as soon as Sanniang finished dealing with the affairs in the inner courtyard and wanted to go back to rest and rest, Bai Guo came over to report that the Miss Yao Jiabiao had just come out of the old lady's courtyard and went to the courtyard of the county lord of Huilan.

Sanniang was a little surprised, Yao Yuerong and the county lord of Huilan got along? However, thinking of the honest and somewhat wooden appearance of the county lord of Whelan now, it seems that he is indeed a relatively easy person to get along with.

Yao Yuerong was a guest, and the grandmother in the courtyard of the county lord of Huilan naturally did not stop her from meeting the county lord of Huilan, so she stayed there for several hours, and stayed in the courtyard of the county lord of Huilan to have lunch together.

When Sanniang heard the news that the maids had reported one after another, she thought about it, but she really couldn't think of anything inappropriate for Yao Yuerong to do this.

Generally speaking, people want to find a companion when they go to a strange place. It is best for this companion to be of the same generation, about the same age.

In the entire Zhuang Wangfu, only Sanniang himself and the county lord of Huilan are in line with this bright spot. And Sanniang is a married woman, Yao Yuerong is naturally more willing to get close to her cousin who is not married at the same time and looks honest and honest. What's more, Sanniang was in the council hall most of the morning, and she didn't have time to accompany this coquette.

Although this is the case, on the second day, when Sanniang heard that Yao Yuerong went to the courtyard of the county lord of Huilan again, she thought about it and took the maids to go.

When Sanniang walked to the courtyard of the county lord of Huilan, Yao Yuerong and the county lord of Huilan occupied one side of the table and were embroidering. Both of them looked attentive and did not speak, and the sun of late autumn and early winter shone through the window lattice on the pointed ends of their skirts and embroidered shoes, looking quiet and beautiful, and even made Sanniang who walked in feel guilty for breaking this harmonious scene.
