Chapter 19 Invitations to Banquets

Just now, Mu Qingwan took advantage of people's inattention and quietly started her hand, no one saw it, it was indeed possible to confuse the real with the fake, if she really cried, then she really couldn't cry.

"Miss is so smart, I think that Mu Qingrou is really difficult. The other ladies of the Hou Mansion always feel that they are not good at stubble, and it is really troublesome to think about it, Miss can't pretend to cry every time, it's not good for the body. ”

Ruyi looked sad.

"What are you worried about, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and then you will see the opportunity to act."

"Miss, I really burned the scarf. It's a pity, after all, the embroidery lady took time. ”

Jixiang also felt sorry, Miss Five really had nothing to do.

……

Mu Qingwan's life is still going on according to the rhythm and has not been affected in the slightest, but as for what others think, it is not within Mu Qingwan's care.

"Miss, Madame asked you to go."

Mu Qingwan didn't know why, so she took Mu Lan to Mrs. Mu's courtyard.

Mrs. Mu handed Mu Qingwan a gilded flower note, which was an invitation.

"Chengjun Wangfu invited to participate in the chrysanthemum banquet three days later? What did the mother say? ”

"Chengjun Wangfu is your eldest uncle's maiden home, we just returned to the capital, and we are not familiar with the lady and lady in the capital, presumably the invitation of Chengjun Wangfu at this time is also your aunt secretly greeted, after all, it is also a relative, we are naturally going to go."

"Mother decides, but, am I going too?"

Mu Qingwan really doesn't really want to participate in this kind of banquet, there was no entertainment in ancient times, and the ladies and small families would hold a banquet from time to time, and the back and forth were all those routines, which were really boring, it was better to stay in the house and memorize medical books.

"You're too dull, and you don't like to be lively. There will be more such things in the future, so you have to get used to it slowly. ”

Mrs. Mu tapped her fingers on Mu Qingwan's forehead, her children don't know how to look good, they were obviously lively and cute when they were young, but they all looked old when they grew up, Mrs. Mu really didn't know what to say.

"Mother, okay, I'll go."

Mu Qingwan touched her forehead and leaned into Mrs. Mu's arms.

"Mother, will I go too? I'm going too. ”

Mu Lan walked round and hugged Mrs. Mu's thighs and was coquettish.

"No, you're too young, stay at home honestly this time and let Aunt Xu watch you."

Mrs. Mu disagreed, after all, Mu Yan's accident five years ago made Mrs. Mu very careful.

"But I want to go too."

Mu Lan stared pitifully with big eyes, his mouth pursed, and he was about to cry, so pitiful.

"Ah Lan, my sister is back to bring you something delicious, okay? You stay at home for the first time, and I'll take you out next time. ”

Mu Qingwan bent down and hugged Mu Lan and comforted.

"I knew that my sister was coaxing me, and I wasn't a child anymore."

Mu Lan muttered like a little adult, and rested his head on Mu Qingwan's neck aggrievedly.

"But forget it, my mother and sister don't take me there. I'll wait at home for you to come back, remembering my delicious food. My brother won't go either, I'll go play with my brother. ”

Mu Lan blinked his eyes and said to Mu Qingwan unwillingly, it's just that Mu Yan is innocently lying on the gun.

“……”

Mu Qingwan was helpless, this younger brother is only three years old, okay? is simply smart, more than Mu Yan's heart and eyes when he was a child. Mu Qingwan remembered that Mu Yan was just a dumpling who could only eat dim sum when he was a child, where could there be so many ghost ideas from Mu Lan.

The chrysanthemum banquet in the Chengjun Palace's mansion is probably a blind date banquet in disguise.

Mu Qingwan learned from Mrs. Mu that Chengfeng, the prince of Chengjun Wangfu, had reached the age of marriage, and this time he was also looking for a suitable candidate by appreciating chrysanthemums. probably wanted to settle down first, wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival Queen Mother's birthday banquet to ask for a reward, and directly decree the marriage.

Mu Qingwan appeared for the first time in the circle of nobles in the capital, and Mrs. Mu was not sloppy. In the past few days, I have tried many clothes with Mu Qingwan, and I have been looking for embroidery girls to change back and forth, but in the end, it is the clothes that I was optimistic about at the beginning.

The clothes were set, it was jewelry and the like, and Mrs. Mu also asked about it personally. In short, in the past three days, Mu Qingwan reluctantly cooperated with Mrs. Mu to try again.

Finally came to the day of the banquet, and Mu Qingwan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Mu was wearing a moon-white dress with silver filigree trim, embroidered with plain gardenia flowers on the skirt, and holding a light veil on her arm. The jewelry on the head is also a white hosta carved gardenia, and there is a fine Hetian jade bracelet on the hand, which is of excellent water color, all of which are produced by Linlang Pavilion.

Mrs. Mu's dress is different from the previous flamboyant and dazzling, and she looks more low-key, gentle and harmless. The combination of cold moon white weakens the visual impact of Mrs. Mu's appearance, and adds the dignity of a housewife. Coupled with Mrs. Mu's outstanding appearance, she looks like a lady from Jiangnan.

Mu Qingwan's dress is the same as Mrs. Mu's, but the hem is embroidered with a small daisy. At this time, there was no concept of parent-child outfits, but the two of them were mother and son. The hair is combed in a double bun, and no jewelry is used, but a daisy silk flower is placed on the bun. Mu Qingwan had no other jewelry on her body except for the silver collar inlaid with sapphires she wore around her neck and the small pendant of the white jade flute hanging around her waist.

After all, he is young, his skin is fair, and he looks exquisite, and this outfit is really eye-catching. The cool color of the moon white highlights Mu Qingwan's indifferent and quiet temperament.

Mrs. Mu and Mu Qingwan's mother and daughter went to the banquet, accompanied by a maid painting fan, auspiciousness and ruyi, and Mu Qi and Hu Zhao drove the two to the Chengjun Palace.

The Chengjun Palace's banquet was held this time, and almost all the officials in the capital who were above the fourth grade, and the mansion where they had school-age daughters, sent posts. Besides, Anping Hou's side, after all, it is the Hou Mansion, and the Chengjun Wangfu also sent a post to the mansion.

On the side of the Anping Hou Mansion, Xiao An's took Mu Qingjia and Mu Qingrou to participate. However, the matter of participating in the banquet, Xiao An's was hiding it from Hanxiangyuan.

Xiao An's is not a big evil person, but there are always some careful thoughts that can't be put on the table.

Besides, Mrs. Mu and Mu Qingwan were here, when they arrived at the gate of the Chengjun Palace, Hu Zhao handed the invitation to the receptionist guarding the door, and then someone came to guide Mrs. Mu and Mu Qingwan into the mansion.

The area of Chengjun Wangfu is very large, as soon as you enter the door, there are pots of chrysanthemums along the road, although it is just an ordinary variety, but so many chrysanthemums can be guessed, it can also be seen that the owner has put some thought into it, and this has not yet arrived at the main venue.

However, Mrs. Mu did not take anyone to the living room, but took Mu Qingwan to the backyard with the little girl who led the way.

"Jane, are you here?"

A graceful and luxurious lady in her thirties and forties welcomed Mrs. Mu through the door.

The place where she arrived was a small living room, and Mu Qingwan recognized that the person was wearing a princess-level order dress of the princess of the county, and this person was the princess of Chengjun? Soon Mrs. Mu answered Mu Qingwan's doubts.

"Qingwan, this is the princess of Chengjun, come and call someone."

Mrs. Mu pulled Mu Qingwan and brought Princess Chengjun to her.

"Qingwan has seen Princess Chengjun."

Mu Qingwan folded her hands at her side and made a standard greeting for everyone.

"Oops, hurry up. Is this Qingwan? Jane Niang gave birth to a good daughter. In addition to the boss, I have two boys below, Zhenniang will see if there is anything satisfied, let Qingwan be my daughter-in-law. ”

Princess Chengjun helped Mu Qingwan up and said half-truthfully to Mrs. Mu.
