Chapter 173: Handsome Men and Beautiful Women
Song Yuru, the princess of Jin, was watching the play, and Mrs. Yang, the eldest lady of the Shen family sitting next to her, said to the princess of Zhijun, who was sitting next to her: "After eating at home, the old man has to walk around, and he can rest or do other things after eating. Today, the Qin family's meals are very palatable, so I don't think I will eat more. It's a little swollen. ”
Princess Naojun is in her fifties. King Zhijun is the younger brother of Emperor Changping, and his biological mother is just a lowly palace maid in the palace of the first emperor, so this title is not high, and he can only be the king of the county. However, the seniority of the people is high, and they are the uncles of the brothers of the King of Jin. Therefore, Song Yuru was still very respectful in front of Princess Zhijun.
Princess Zhijun and Mrs. Yang had a good relationship, and when she heard this, she said, "Isn't it?" Today's dish was really good. It's not the taste of the food in the restaurant outside. Fresh and delicious. This cook is extraordinary. Isn't the Qin family a cook invited from the restaurant? ”
Princess Zhijun knows that although the Qin family is a century-old mansion, it has long been defeated, where can there be a skilled chef left?
Mrs. An on the side said with a smile: "Originally, we planned to invite a cook from the restaurant outside to come over for today's banquet. However, after hearing about it, my granddaughter Mingyue said that today's banquet, there were many nobles, and the chef of the restaurant was disrespectful, so she called the chef of the star picking building to come over. ”
This is a naked show-off. You must know that the chef of the Star Picking Tower is more advanced than the imperial chef of the palace. The Great Zhou Palace is only two hundred years long, and the history of the Star Tower is thousands of years. Cooks are generally passed down from generation to generation. A thousand-year-old family of chefs, can the dishes made be ordinary dishes? This is something that most people can't enjoy.
Princess Zhijun was shocked when she heard this. As the princess of the royal family, she has been in the royal family for decades, and she has not enjoyed any delicacies, but the craftsmanship of the Star Picking House is really the first time to enjoy. It's not for everyone. Even the high-ranking ladies sitting next to her were also interested. They often attend banquets in the palace. However, this is really the first time to taste the craftsmanship of the chef of the Star Building, and I can't help but talk about it.
Shen Xingyi, who was waiting on the side, was a little anxious, how could these old ladies talk about cooking in terms of consumption. If we talk about this, wouldn't it be to delay the things that the little aunt explained.
Shen Xing hurriedly made a concerned look and said to his mother, Mrs. Yang, "If my mother feels that her stomach is swollen, it is better for me to help my mother go to the garden to disperse." The little aunt said before that their garden was carefully tied. The prince of Liguo also personally selected hundreds of pots of chrysanthemums, and the arrangement was beautiful. Why don't we go and see it? ”
Mrs. Yang was very satisfied with her daughter's agility: "Well, this is the time to enjoy the chrysanthemums, and I really want to go for a walk." It's just that you girl don't look at it, your mother-in-law is over there, you patronize me, and you have to hold your mother-in-law? Here, I still have to talk to the princesses. ”
As soon as she said this, the Yang family's daughter-in-law, the prince of Mingli, Liu, hurriedly stood up, and said to Shen Xingyi with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you just go and help Mrs. Xiangyang Hou, mother has me here." ”
Princess Zhijun was also busy saying, "Since Duchess Mingli has the habit of walking, why don't I go for a walk with me?" To be honest, in the past few years, I have become more and more fond of health preservation, and I like to take a walk when I have nothing to do. I just ate too much, and I really can't do it without walking. ”
Princess Jin originally wanted to continue watching the play, but when she saw that the elder Princess Zhijun and Duchess Yang were going for a walk, Shen Xingyi had already helped her mother-in-law, Mrs. Xiangyang Hou, to come over here, she couldn't sit still, so she could only smile and say, "It just so happens that I want to go around too, why don't we go and see it together?" ”
The ladies present were all human spirits, and when they saw that the highest status of the people got up and prepared to go to the garden, even if they wanted to watch the play again, they could only laugh and follow along.
In this way, Shen Xingyi easily completed the task, basically took more than half of the ladies and nobles present and went to the garden.
While strolling in the garden, everyone enjoyed the golden scenery everywhere, and laughed and praised from time to time. In fact, the Qin family's garden is really not very good, it has only been in hand for a few days, so naturally it has not been completely cleaned up. Fortunately, the Qin family is also a two-hundred-year-old state-owned mansion, and the foundation of this garden is still there, plus hundreds of pots of golden chrysanthemums are decorated, but it is not bad.
Everyone wants to give the Qin family a face, so they all praise each other. The banquet of the upper class is like this, the sedan chair is carried by everyone, and it is necessary to compliment each other.
Shen Xingyi saw a maid giving her a look all the way when she saw it, and when she saw it, she knew where to go, so she helped her mother-in-law to stroll all the way, and after a while, she arrived at the location designated by Qin Mingyue.
That's a couple of huge laurel trees. This golden laurel tree has been around for some years, and it has not yet arrived at the moment, so it smells strange. Everyone can't help but look for the source of the fragrance.
When I looked for it, I happened to see a picturesque scene.
The golden chrysanthemums everywhere exuded intoxicating autumn colors, and under the huge golden laurel trees, a couple of men and women embraced each other. The man is handsome and chic, the jade tree is in the wind, and the peerless demeanor sets off the autumn colors everywhere without color. The woman was the shy age of the girl, her body was graceful, she was too weak to be dressed, and the golden jewelry and chrysanthemums all over her black hair reflected each other, and her jade-like powder was full of shy pink.
The most important thing is that the two of them are affectionate and tender, and they sprinkled a handful of dog food for the ladies.
Such a beautiful picture was talked about privately by the ladies of the capital for a long time. However, at this moment, everyone was dumbfounded, until a noble girl screamed in surprise, only to wake up a pair of jade people under the golden laurel tree, raised their eyes, and found that most of the noble ladies and noble girls were standing in front of them, the two of them were frightened at this moment, and they were separated in a hurry.
Shen Xingyi looked at the pair of handsome men and beauties in front of him with interest, and thought to himself, it turns out that the little aunt spent so much time on the formation just for the pair in front of her? The man is the most beautiful man in the world, and the woman is also the cousin of the little aunt, why is this?
In the future, the little aunt should tell herself the reason, and now I still have to help the little aunt sing this play.
Shen Xingyi smiled and said, "This is really a natural pair. Standing together like a golden boy and a girl, it's really enviable. ”
