Chapter 38: The Feast of Thanksgiving

The emperor announced to the world, Bai Zhiyu has become a veritable new champion, Li Mansion has been very busy these days, in addition to receiving congratulatory gifts from various officials, he is also busy returning gifts and preparing for a thank-you banquet.

The emperor gave a new mansion, a large courtyard with four entrances and four exits, many officials came to say goodbye again, and many officials from small places also handed over prayer notes.

The courtyard of the Li Mansion in the capital was not large, and the number of maids and servants was also limited.

Zhao Qi heard the novelty and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm going too, speaking of which, I haven't experienced this yet, and it is usually my mother and aunt who pick it up and send it directly to my hospital." ”

After eating at noon, the quiet courtyard suddenly became noisy, Chang Hua stood outside the door and reported, "Childe, I bought fifty of them in the hands of Renyazi, you can take a look, pick some with closed eyes and stay in the inner courtyard." ”

Lin Qingqing touched his bulging belly, and said in his belly: "The house given by the emperor is really different, now that the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard are clearly divided, fifty maids and maids are definitely not enough, and they will definitely have to buy it again in the future." ”

She was smiling, and Chang Hua said through the bamboo curtain: "The old lady sent a letter from home, saying that you don't have to worry about business matters, and you don't have to be rigid about the places in the capital that need to be purchased and dotted with money." ”

said it decently, but it really looks like a housekeeper, Lin Qingqing raised his eyebrows at Bai Zhiyu, "This is a person who has attained the Tao of the chicken dog to ascend to heaven, and the six cakes look a lot calmer now." ”

"No need, just watch and stay." Bai Zhiyu said lightly.

Chang Hua's hesitant voice came from outside, "Childe, take a look, Mrs...... My wife said......"

He couldn't say a word, Bai Zhiyu frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "What did Mrs. say?" ”

"Mrs. said, let you pick two to stay in the house to serve......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Qi shouted excitedly, "I'll just say, I'm interested in this, I know Zhiyu's hobby, I'll help him pick it." ”

Lin Qingqing was puzzled, tilted his head and asked him, "Leave two to serve in the house?" Aren't they all in the Li Mansion, and they are still so clearly divided? ”

Zhao Qi laughed at her teasingly, "I'm not too young, why are I still like a yellow-haired girl......"

"Ahem." Bai Zhiyu's coughing interrupted Zhao Qi, and there was a suspicious flush on his face, "You don't understand these things." ”

If you don't understand, you have to ask, intellectual curiosity is the ladder of human progress. Lin Qingqing chased after him, "I won't understand if you say it." ”

"Yes, tell me quickly, I'm curious too." Zhao Qi fanned the flames on the side.

The blush on Bai Zhiyu's face became even more obvious, he lowered his voice and rushed outside: "No need, leave a few people in the courtyard, you take the idea, and the rest of the people will wait in the outer courtyard." ”

"But Mrs. ......," Chang Hua hesitated, "Mrs. said that you have passed the weak crown, and you should find a few people who know cold and hot by your side, and she will pick the good ones and send them to you in the future." ”

Know the cold and know the heat? Lin Qingqing instantly understood, and the sharp look of the woman outside the Seven Princes' Mansion flashed in his mind.

She shook her hand a little awkwardly, "Why don't you pick first?" I remembered that there were some things to do at the Anonymous Museum, so I left first. ”

As soon as she opened her legs, she was pulled by her wrist, and when she turned around, Bai Zhiyu was looking at her with a doting face, "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”

The warblers and swallows outside the door have their own styles, some are gentle like water, some are lively and lively, and there are enchanting and coquettish, and Zhao Qizhi who looks at it "tsk", "It's really good." ”

Lin Qingqing was a little dazzled, this is a little girl, and it is clear that he is a person who knows cold and hot.

"Do you have a match, I will send someone to serve you." Bai Zhiyu whispered in her ear.

Why should others serve those who have hands and feet, she hurriedly shook her head, "I don't need to, you can keep it for internal digestion." There was a faint negative tone in his tone.

"Then you, you and you. The rest of the people go to the outer courtyard to wait, and I don't need so many people in my courtyard. ”

I didn't expect him to really pick it up, and when he became the champion, he couldn't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, and it was really as black as a crow in the world.

Lin Qingqing followed his fingers and looked over, slightly stunned, there were obviously so many good-looking girls, but the one he chose was the most mediocre among them.

"It's rare to have a lover in the world." Zhao Qi suddenly laughed and patted her on the shoulder, "Although I don't care about your feelings, Zhiyu is really more affectionate than me, you have to cherish it." ”

Is he all for himself? Lin Qingqing's heart tugged.

The dust has settled on the matter of the maid's maid, and then there is a thank-you banquet. There are rules for this matter, and it must be done in the emperor's mansion, showing the emperor's grace and showing the loyalty of the courtiers by the way.

On that day, the holy decree was sent to the palace early in the morning, and Bai Zhiyu received the holy decree, and when he got up, he became a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, which can be regarded as a double happiness.

Along with the holy decree, there are also pastries specially made by the emperor in the imperial dining room for tonight's thank-you banquet.

In the evening, a stage was set up in the garden of the Li Mansion, and a banquet of ten tables was set up, and the lanterns were very lively, Zhao Qi, Zhao Yi, Ling Rouqiao, Ye Tian, Wang He and the like all came.

Lin Qingqing didn't want to go to that place to play an official tone, but he didn't expect Yicheng to follow Prince Yan to congratulate him, and Xiao Shizi heard that she was in the mansion and clamored to see her.

So, sit down, listen to Bai Zhiyu's official tone, and wait for the three rounds of wine, the people at the wine table are all warm, Ye Tian pulled Zhao Yi's arm and asked, "Why didn't Brother Kuangyan come, there is always a lack of him when he returns." ”

Zhao Qi laughed at her, "Then you really asked the wrong person, you should ask the talented girl about Kuangyan's cousin." ”

Ling Rou's face suddenly turned red, "I don't know anything about him very well......"

Zhao Qi didn't have the heart to continue to ask, "How can you not know, my aunt also asked me to match the two of you so that you can get closer to your cousin." ”

Ling Rou's expression became gloomy, and the hand holding the wine glass clenched very tightly, "If you don't know what you say, you don't need to worry about the two of us." ”

She has always given people the feeling that she is like an orchid, the empty valley is quiet, everyone is slightly stunned, and Wang He, the prime minister's son, hurriedly smiled and said: "The Seventh Prince has returned triumphantly, and it is natural to be busy, and no one has seen him a few times." ”

is singing "Horse on the Wall" on the stage, Lin Qingqing doesn't like these "babbling" singing, today I think it's more interesting than the noisy and shouting in the audience, and I can't help but be in a trance.

Zhao Yicheng sat next to her, quietly pulled her sleeve and said, "Sister Yu, it's my birthday soon, can you come and play with me?" ”

Speaking of which, Lin Qingqing still had the position of his special chef, so he nodded, "No problem, my sister will give you a big surprise when the time comes." ”

Zhao Yicheng stretched out his round fingers, hooked her little thumb and said, "The hook will not change for a hundred years, I'll wait for you." ”

Bai Zhiyu toasted from table to table, and when the table where Lin Qingqing was was already a little flustered, fortunately, this table was all his acquaintances, so he didn't embarrass him much, so he asked Chang Hua to help him go to the table next to him to toast.
