Chapter 2: The Banquet (1) (Part 2)

After giving the dowry gift, the next thing is the invitation period, the day of the prince's wedding has been made accurately, and it is set after the examination, October 18, there are still two months to go, and the preparations have begun.

But now the old lady is not in a hurry to prepare for the wedding, but is busy with another matter. The first diplomacy after returning to Beijing, the palace banquet is not counted, this time it is his own family hospitality.

The old lady has always been dislike to socialize, but now that she is in the capital, her diplomacy is imperative. If nothing else, the grandchildren are all older, so it's better to plan ahead of time to see each other; Moreover, let the granddaughters have a little more knowledge, and don't be like a frog at the bottom of the well, resting on their laurels.

Previously, the Shun'an Bo Mansion also invited guests, and the eldest lady and the second lady had a big face to give a post to the lord of the clan, but few masters came, and only asked the steward to give gifts, which made the Song family a big joke, and the matter of the eldest son of the flat wife was also picked up!

The angry Concubine Xi reprimanded her, and the two ladies were a little more settled.

Now the old lady is cautious and cautious when she makes a post! In addition to a few officials and daughters who are good friends with the eldest lord, only two families were invited to Xun Guizhong: one is the Wenchang Marquis Mansion, needless to say, the maiden family of the future princess; The first is Changlebo Mansion, which everyone may not be familiar with, but it was mentioned before that it is the future in-law of the second girl.

The super title of the Great Chu Dynasty has three levels: duke, marquis, and uncle, and each level is divided into three grades: the first class is the founding of a certain duke, marquis, and uncle, which is the founding emperor Shengwu himself, and is hereditary and replaced; The second class is a certain duke, marquis, and uncle of Xingguo, and those who have major meritorious services can be sealed, and they are hereditary; Third-class auxiliary state so-and-so duke, marquis, and uncle, it depends on the emperor's mood, and the hereditary descends to five generations.

The first two have Danshu iron scrolls, and the death penalty can be avoided, which is why under the anger of the current emperor, the reason why the Liguo Mansion did not copy and behead the whole family, not that he didn't want to, but that he couldn't.

The full name of Shun Anbo is the auxiliary country Shun Anbo, if the Song family does not have any great development, then the Viscount of the Princess, it is the Viscount of Zhengyipin. This is also the reason why the Song family stood in line this time.

It took a lot of effort to seal a third-class uncle, and his ass was about to be lowered before it was hot, and no one was comfortable.

There are also things that Su Su has always been unable to understand, the original Liguo Gong is a first-class founding Liguo Gong, hereditary recklessness is not degraded, as long as he does not die, he will be a super-grade Guogong for generations.

And there has never been a precedent for Dachu to be crowned a king with a different surname, that is, the Duke of Li Guo pushed King Liang to the throne. can only add a reward but not a knight, why did the scumbag father die? Su Su was puzzled.

In the end, it can only be rooted in the nonsensical reason that the plot is too strong!

Hehe, having said so much, in fact, I want to say that Changle Bofu is one of the eight great uncles of the founding of the country, although none of the younger generations are promising, but none of them are dead! Although it is now a little declining, it is still the founding uncle's mansion, which is why the eldest lord and the old lady will recognize this family business!

This time, the guest naturally wanted to post to his future in-laws, and it was also to meet Mrs. Changlebo. was able to make friends with the second lady and directly set up a family affair, and the old lady analyzed two reasons: one is that this lady is also out of tune, and the other is that she has a plot against the Song family.

The old lady has always thought about the worst, done the best, and prepared for a rainy day!

In the end, there are a total of five families invited to the next post, in addition to the two in-laws, there is also the top boss of the eldest lord, the Zhou family of the household department, the family of the household department who works together with the eldest lord at the same level, and the family of the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites who are good friends with the Song family.

The post was sent to someone, and the date was set for August 22, and I received a reply soon, and I will come then.

The old lady asked people to be busy cleaning up the stage of the flower hall, formulating the menu, and carefully distributing the maids and maids, so as not to lose people when they got it.

The Song family has a total of two large gardens, one is in the backyard of Sui'an Hall, and the other is in the middle of the second and third rooms, there is a small lake, with a large area of lotus, and there are two wooden boats by the lake, for the masters to enjoy the lotus and pick lotus.

Now the lotus flowers are still blooming just right, and after a period of time, I am afraid that there is no such scenery of "receiving the lotus leaves infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red in the sun"!

So the old lady placed the girls in the water pavilion next to the lotus lake, surrounded by lotus flowers, and the breeze was cool.

The ladies set up a banquet in the flower hall in the backyard of Sui'an Hall, where they could not only enjoy the flowers, but also listen to the play.

For this old lady, she also specially recruited that group of small actors, the big ones are only thirteen or fourteen, and the small ones are ** years old, and they all look good.

One of them, Su Su, looked a little familiar, the youngest of them, eight years old, called Fang Guan. She is already extraordinary at a young age, and when she sees her, she is still Yangliu's mouth: "This girl looks good, and if you look closely, she has a little bit of Su Su's appearance when she was a child, especially these eyes!"

The little girl shrank aside and said nothing, although she was eight years old, her body was a little thin and weak, which made people look pitiful. Hearing Yang Liu's words, Su Su didn't think about it for a while, but only grabbed the fruit and gave it to her to eat.

On the 22nd of August, everyone in Sui'an Hall got up early, packed up, and dressed up.

People with background are the most taboo on the behavior of nouveau riche on weekdays. But today is the first time that the old lady has been the host's house in the capital, and she is grand for the sake of showing her attention

Wearing a turmeric entwined branch lotus pattern embroidered collar red gold floral pattern satin placket, inside is an ivory collared mid-collar, and a red gold sprinkled satin skirt is tied underneath.

Because the color of the clothes is already very dazzling, only one set of jadeite texture is selected for the jewelry.

The clouds were chosen by Bith, not only because of her carefulness, but also because of her skillful hands. No matter what kind of hairstyle, you will know how to comb it at a glance, and no matter how complicated you are, it will only take a few strokes. Su Su really admires this!

Today, Yun Duo gave the old lady a begonia-style flower bun, two jasper lotus hairpins were inserted on the left side, a palace flower with red gauze inlaid with pearls was worn on the right, and a jasper butterfly was pressed on the back of the head. On his forehead, he wore a pine green swastika inlaid with topazes, and a pair of jasper bead earrings, a jade bead chain of the same texture and a pair of bracelets.

This set of jewelry is from the same piece of jade, not to mention the glass of the old pit, the color is serious imperial green!

Although this outfit is not as elegant as Mrs. Bo's grade and makeup, it is more kind and wealthy. In addition, the old lady has raised white and ruddy in recent years, which is amiable at first sight.

"Second lady, second girl, third girl, fourth girl, fifth girl, sixth girl here!" The little maid opened the curtain, and the second lady and several girls who came in were all jeweled and in extraordinary spirits.

The second girl has been engaged, and this time she is not the protagonist, so she only wears a new dress, but the head of a set of gold silk inlaid treasures is also really dazzling.

The three girls have a gentle temperament, wearing a snow-white embroidered cherub with a lotus background, and a large-sleeved shirt embroidered with a lotus root pattern. A pink-purple upline skirt underneath. Combing the hair and dividing the bun, wearing a set of pink pearls on the head, it looks more and more watery and gentle.

The four girls had a hearty temperament, but they were more than delicate and not dignified, so they wore garnet red and ivory white clothes.

The five girls have always loved to dress up weak, often wearing moon white, water blue and other elegant colors, this one is wearing a light blue background folded branch white, plum embroidery rolling gold edge placket short undergarment, Ai green long skirt, comb a single screw bun, jewelry is not a few. The old lady had no expression on her face, but the look in her eyes was cold.

The six girls are dressed in goose yellow half-arms and tender green breast-length skirts, looking delicate and cute.

The second lady is also dressed decently today, just looking at the clothes and jewelry, you can know that the second master has not lost this wife.
