Cui'er followed Mrs. Wenxiu out of the courtyard where Mrs. Shizi was, and the mother-in-law who was in charge of the carriage and horses pulled a small oil cart with green curtains, and took Mrs. Wenxiu and Cui'er to the flower hall for the banquet.
Because there are so many people coming to this birthday banquet, Mrs. Wen Xiu will definitely not be able to entertain her alone, even if Cui'er is added. Therefore, the grandmothers of the Dingguo Mansion and the side branches have come out to help, some help take care of the wine and refreshments, some help take care of the back kitchen, and some come forward to entertain guests, and the division of labor and cooperation is very clear.
Although Cui'er contributed the tea at this banquet, she was a little overwhelmed now, and followed Mrs. Wenxiu to greet the wives of each family. Although Cui'er has been a white-collar worker for many years, dealing with people is not a big problem, but she really does not have this kind of experience in attending a big banquet with the top wives in the entire capital, so she is inevitably a little nervous.
Although Cui'er was nervous, she could be considered to deal with it well, and because of Mrs. Wenxiu's care, the guests who came were very polite to Cui'er, and gradually Cui'er got used to the scene of this guest.
There was still an hour before the main banquet began, but the number of people in this flower hall gradually increased, Cui'er not only saw the familiar Mrs. Hu, Mrs. Qu and others, but also got to know the princess, princess and other big people she had never seen before.
"This is the Cui'er girl you are talking about?" A woman of about thirty years old dressed in a gorgeous dress, after getting off the small oil cart with green curtains, came straight to Mrs. Wenxiu. She had a bright smile on her white face, with a rare dignity and arrogance among ordinary wives, and the phoenix hairpin on her head was so bright that people couldn't open their eyes. It was a beautiful and atmospheric lady.
"Sister Jane, you're here!" Mrs. Wen Xiu affectionately pulled Cui'er two steps forward, smiled at the gorgeous lady and saluted. Then he pulled Cui'er to the person who was called Sister Zhen's gift, "Sister Cui'er, this is the sister I grew up with since I was a child, Sister Zhen, Duanwang Zhengfei!" ”
"Hello Sister Jane!" Cui'er was busy curtsiding when she heard this, and she was not an ordinary person who could make friends with Mrs. Wenxiu. Cui'er looked at this gorgeous and innocent lady. Curious tight.
"Okay, Sister Xuan always tells me about you, but I have a lot of things at home these days. It's the first time I've seen my sister, and my sister will have to walk around with me more in the future! The noble lady smiled and helped Cui'er up, looked at Cui'er's delicate eyebrows, and couldn't help but smile and said to Mrs. Wenxiu. You girl is really good-looking, no wonder you admire her so much. ”
"Sister Jane, that's wrong. I don't like Cui'er just because she's good-looking and kind-hearted. Did you know that Sister Cui'er has a very elegant hobby? Mrs. Wen Xiu said mysteriously to the princess at the other end.
"What is the most elegant hobby?" When Princess Duan heard Mrs. Wen Xiu say this, she was also interested, and looked at her with a mysterious look but refused to speak. I wanted to know more and more.
"Good sister, say it quickly!" When Princess Duan was talking, she was still dragging Mrs. Wen Xiu's hand. In the back and forth, the noble ladies who were originally talking next to them also heard it. They stopped talking and looked this way.
"Sister Cui'er is the daughter of the Ye family, a century-old family of tea making in Huxi, and she has a unique job of making tea from flowers." When Mrs. Wen Xiu said this, she looked at Princess Duan with a smile, and then swept the ladies in the flower hall with her afterglow, and smiled with satisfaction.
"Do you know that the flower tea made by Sister Cui'er is a little better than the tribute tea we drink on weekdays, and it can also nourish the face and clear the fire, you see, is the skin on my face a little more tender?" Mrs. Wen Xiu smiled and shared gossip with her best friend, but in fact, she made a resounding advertisement for Cui'er's flower tea.
Although the ladies in the entire flower hall seemed to be still talking and looking at their own flowers, none of them were not thinking a few words in their hearts about what the flower tea was, and they were all curious.
"Good sister, what's the use of you just talking about these greedy sisters, if it's really as good as you say, take it out and give it to all of us to taste!" Princess Duan was an anxious child, and when she saw Mrs. Wen Xiu praising Cui'er's flower tea, she was curious to try it.
"Even if I don't have it myself, I have to leave some for my sister, where is it in a hurry!" As Mrs. Wenxiu spoke, she smiled and ordered, and after a while, she saw the maid ring of the Guogong Mansion carrying a tray to serve tea.
"I just said that in the past, I didn't sit down yet, and the tea came up, why did I go so late today, it turns out that there are allusions in it!" Princess Duan and Mrs. Wen Xiu really have a good relationship, and after seeing the maids serving tea, she took a cup of jasmine tea with a smile, and did not forget to joke about Mrs. Wen Xiu.
"Look at what my sister said, if you don't say that, how do you know how rare this flower tea is! If you learn to chew peonies, it won't hurt my heart as a sister! Mrs. Wen Xiu said with a smile, pulling Princess Duan to sit on the Luohan couch while talking to Cui'er and Princess Duan.
"It's not good, you said it, you don't count, I have to taste it myself!" Princess Duan was not polite, and made fun of Mrs. Wen Xiu, then lowered her head and carefully studied the jasmine tea in her hand.
The tea soup is light yellow and translucent, and there is a crystal clear jasmine flower floating in it, because of the slight movement of the tea, the jasmine flower rises and falls in the teacup, but it is more and more stretched, as if it is a budding flower slowly opening in the morning light.
Princess Duan liked this tea very much just by looking at it, and there was a floral fragrance in this tea, which was really tempting, so she took a sip of the sweet white porcelain teacup.
After drinking this sip, I only felt that my teeth and cheeks were fragrant, and I couldn't help but have my eyes shining slightly, "Well, there is a floral fragrance in this tea fragrance, a tea fragrance in the floral fragrance, and a slight bitterness with sweetness, but it is much stronger than the tribute tea of Laoshizi that I drank before!" ”
Princess Duan is a well-known elegant and picky person in Beijing, not to mention ordinary tea, even the tribute tea given by the Ouchi Emperor, and it may not be able to enter her eyes. Now when I hear Princess Duan's praise, it is more effective than an ordinary lady praising ten or a hundred sentences.
The ladies and ladies who drank tea and didn't drink tea in this flower hall. They all took teacups from the tray of Yahuan and tasted the tea that Princess Duan praised. I don't know if it's the herd effect or Cui'er's tea is really good, dozens of ladies and ladies in this flower hall, after tasting this flower tea, none of them didn't say it was good.
If there is tea, there will naturally be refreshments, and the big girl and Xiaohu have lived with Cui'er for so long, so they naturally have dim sum made by Cui'er who likes to eat. Later, he was learned by the cook of the Dingguo Mansion. It was also brought out on this important occasion. Tea and refreshments have the same origin, so the pairing complements each other better.
Listening to the praise all over the room, Cui'er's heart was overjoyed. He still maintained a faint smile on his face, and only hoped that after today's birthday banquet was completed, his tea reputation would be a little louder, and if he could add a little more reputation for the selection of imperial merchants. But even better.
Mrs. Shizi's birthday banquet is naturally not as simple as eating and drinking. No, at the right hour, someone ushered the ladies into the hall.
Cui'er took Mrs. Wenxiu's hand and slowly walked into the hall where Mrs. Shizi worshipped her birthday. I only feel that my eyes are full of wealth and flowers. This hall occupies an extremely spacious area, with five or six hundred square meters. The aisle in the middle of the hall is covered with a red carpet, and at the end of the red carpet is the main seat. Mrs. Shizi was sitting on top with a smile on her face.
"Come, the eldest daughter-in-law and Cui'er come and sit!" Mrs. Shizi greeted her daughter-in-law and Cui'er with a smile, and her face was very ruddy because she was in a very good mood.
Everyone saw that Cui'er had a good relationship with Mrs. Wen Xiu, and originally thought that she was just having a personal relationship with Mrs. Wen Xiu, but they didn't expect that Mrs. Shizi would treat Cui'er and Mrs. Wen Xiu the same. Such a scene is very different in the eyes of those who have a heart.
Mrs. Wenxiu and Cui'er accompanied Mrs. Shizi, and began a wonderful birthday visit. In this birthday greeting session, only the guest of honor among the female guests presented a birthday gift, which was dazzling enough.
This is the birthday star who sent jade carving, the big birthday screen that sent coral, the gem tree that sent jade, and the Maitreya Buddha who sent red gold...... But as long as there is a birthday gift that can be taken out by someone, there is no one who is not a fine product, and there is no one who is not a good object!
In the amazement of everyone, the female guests who had finished the birthday gift sat down one after another and began the birthday banquet. The dishes on this birthday banquet are also carefully selected, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas are complete, even the precious abalone and cucumber wings are also impressively listed.
The guests who participated in the birthday banquet laughed and tasted the steaming food, and the clothes and temples were lively for a while.
After the end of the birthday banquet of the princes of the world, when the ladies and ladies received the gift from the Dingguo Mansion, they were pleasantly surprised to find that there was a colorful and attractive gift box in this gift, and what was placed in it was the flower tea that they had been thinking about at the banquet.
This flower tea gift box is beautiful and tight, and the ladies and ladies of the noble family who are picky can't put it down. In particular, I don't know how to make the flower paper, which complements the flower tea in the porcelain vase, and the end is fresh and elegant.
Because of a birthday banquet for Mrs. Shizi, this flower tea gift box has become the most sought-after item in the boudoir circle in the capital. Only the most favored daughters of each family can be given this flower tea gift box by the elders who participated in the birthday banquet in their own families.
All of a sudden, all the ladies of the boudoir who received this flower tea gift box couldn't help but be enthusiastic about holding a tea banquet or something, so as to publicize how high their status was.
Three days later, it was put on the shelves of Biye Piaoxianglou, and the flower tea gift box that was limited to nine pieces a day was also sold out on the day it was put out.
This Biye Piaoxiang House became popular because of the flower tea, and became the latest hot teahouse in Beijing, and people come and go every day, just like a good scene of guests.
