For a while, the housekeeper passed the word again, and the second round of Dao Songsheng Pavilion had already ended, and under all kinds of difficulties, there were still eight people to be selected. Xie Shi smiled and said: "This is unintentional, there are eight men and women, and the concubines think that they are put in one place." ”

Ji Nong glanced at the expressions of the ladies present, and saw that they were all frowning slightly, as if they were hesitating. Xie Shi naturally saw it clearly, so he said: "I heard that the eldest princess's house has been repaired with a scenery of winding water, but unfortunately the weather is cold now, otherwise we can still sit and drink with these sixteen people." ”

"What's so hard about that?" Ji Nong smiled and said, "There are two places where my water flows, one is the outdoor as mentioned by the seventh sister-in-law, and the other is indoors, which can lead the earth spring in. The interior is also spacious, and can accommodate all guests today. Now that the seventh sister-in-law has spoken, how can Shining not fulfill your wish. ”

These noble ladies also stretched their eyebrows at this time. Although Dayan is also very cautious about men and women, it is okay to have ordinary contact. Moreover, with so many people with them, there is no need to worry about any scruples.

"Let's go and ask the prince's brother what he means, and if he agrees, he will go and prepare." Ji Nong turned around and instructed Chao Rong, but in the second half of the sentence, he asked the ladies around him, "It's not early, why don't you have lunch first, and then move to Qushui after lunch?" ”

Since the host arranged it this way, the guests naturally would not object, and they all thanked Ji Nong with a smile, and then went to the pavilion to eat with her. The eldest princess, who is rich and tasteful, has a banquet, which is naturally extraordinary. After the main dish was served, Xie Shi avoided people and Ji Nong bit his ear and said, "Pingjiang's face is interesting. ”

"The seventh sister-in-law didn't know that the eunuch Yu in the imperial dining room was originally used by the queen mother, and when the queen mother died, the people around her were given to me by my father. When I was young, these people were arranged with the palace. This time I went back to Beijing to open the mansion, and I deliberately chose some old people to enter the mansion. ”

"Look at your table, half of it is Jiangnan cuisine." Xie Shi's voice raised a little, as if he deliberately said it to the people at the table, "Madame painted Jiangnan on porcelain, the concubine was born in the capital, and she has never had the opportunity to go to Jiangnan, but she yearns for it very much." ”

"What the seventh sister-in-law said is pitiful." Ji Fu was unwilling to be lonely and opened her mouth, "The seventh brother is a rich idler in our family, and the seventh sister-in-law is young and has no children to worry about. Besides, Shining's fiefdoms are all in the south of the Yangtze River, and she is called a good hospitality. ”

"The fiefdom of His Royal Highness is in Pingjiang Mansion, and it is also a splendid land of ten miles south of the Yangtze River." Seeing that Xie's face was condensed, Duchess Chengen, who had not spoken, opened her mouth, "It is said that His Royal Highness Eighth has also grown up in the capital since he was a child and has never been to his own fiefdom, so it is indeed necessary for His Royal Highness Ten Highnesses to entertain His Royal Highness and his wife." His Royal Highness was careful, and the courtiers were impressed. ”

Ji Nong almost applauded his aunt, and this fluttering few words made Ji Fuyi's face very wonderful. Although Xie Shi has always been difficult to compete with others, the matter that Ji Fu used to stab her heir is her sore spot, and no matter how good-tempered people are, they can't bear it, and Xie Shi is not really such a weak person.

"The eighth sister is half a year younger than the concubine, and she is even more affectionate with the horse, inseparable day by day, and envious of others. Come to think of it, if the eighth sister wants to see and see, the horse will not be able to refuse, and it is a good thing to be with you like this. The concubine heard the old lady in the palace say that if this woman changed the water and soil, she might be able to help conceive a baby. The eighth sister will be able to make her wish come true when she comes back. Wouldn't that be wonderful? ”

Xie Shi had a smile on his face, and Ji Fu on the opposite side was even more wonderful. Ji Nong is the master today, so naturally it is not good to make up for Ji Fu, she sighed with some regret, and then said with a smile: "Today's Jiangnan dish was specially sent from Guangling." It is said that Huaiyang is the most splendid place of ten zhang red and soft, although it is a little exaggerated, but when it comes to diet, it can also be lined up. If the seventh sister-in-law and Pingjiang have the opportunity to go to Jiangnan in the future, remember to enjoy a few tables of banquets so as not to lose this trip. If you have a good time, let's have a seat. ”

Regardless of their status, all the nobles sat some distance away from the main table, and naturally they did not hear this transaction from above. It's just that all the people present are human spirits, and they are vaguely aware of the lawsuit between the royal ladies. But in the end, he was young, and he had indeed worked mentally for a morning, and his stomach was already empty, and it was extremely difficult to maintain his demeanor while looking at this table full of delicacies, not to mention the fact that a few people had whispered about what kind of prints the tableware on the eldest princess's mansion was, and it was so elegant. At this time, I finally saw Ji Nong take the soup spoon in the maid's hand, bow his head and taste it carefully, only to feel that being an adult is really tired and panicked.

——————————————————————

After asking someone to settle a few ladies who were tired or a little older and didn't want to play, Ji Nong led a group of people to the water pavilion in a graceful manner, but the male guests were one step ahead, because Pei Lun had almost grown up in the princess's mansion recently, so he was naturally familiar with this elegant pavilion, but it was well organized and the atmosphere was good.

Seeing that Ji Nong was coming, Pei Lun subconsciously got up to greet him, Ji Nong frowned slightly when he saw his move, and then smiled again. Pei Lun looked at her, couldn't hide his smile, and said, "You're here." ”

This is said to be ordinary, but it is ordinary, which makes people feel unusual. A foreign minister, no matter how high his background is, he can't just be commensurate with you and me, the eldest princess of the royal family.

Thinking of this, the eyes of some ladies looking at Pei Lun changed a little. He has always been the number one candidate for a noblewoman in the capital to marry her daughter, although he is a little older, but it shows that he is clean and self-conscious, so he appreciates it more and more. As for the rumors in the capital a few days ago, they didn't care about it at first, after all, the city was full of wind and rain when the eldest princess was not married, and she was not a secret among the nobles. It's just that today, I have to believe somewhat.

"That's a strange thing, this is the Princess's Mansion." Ji Nong was already a little unhappy with his move, but his face was not obvious, and his voice was rarely a little squeamish, "Where did you become the master?" ”

Ji Kun also stood up at this time, and Ji Nong turned to him, not saluting, but smiling brightly, and before he could speak, he saw Ji Kun also nodding with a smile. Not to be outdone, Ji Fu was almost at the same time with her, and called: "Brother Prince." ”

Pei Lun looked at Ji Nong again, his tone was gentle, and said, "Your Highness doesn't know the names and surnames of these eight people, so I've asked them to sit down in turn, why don't you invite a few people to show you?" ”

"Pei Lang, be cautious." Ji Nong smiled and shook his head, "Father often said that my grandfather can sweep the world with a land of size, and the most rare thing is to know how to make good use of people, not only to know how to use people well, but also to know how to cherish talents." When I was a teenager, I was taught by my father. He once said that it takes 30 years to build a prosperous world, but he doesn't know that it takes 100 years to plant a tree. As the saying goes, the world is easy to obtain, but talent is hard to find. ”

Therefore, if it is really a great talent, whether it is a man or a woman, this palace is worshiped by prostration, and it is not humble. So, it's not right to ask them to come and show me. ”

Pei Lun's gaze was soft and messy at this time, and when she finished speaking, she also waved towards the banquet and signaled that she was speechless. This move is not unusual in this era of scholars who are open to the people. But this move was done by Pei Lun, who had always been floating on the clouds, but everyone was shocked.

Ji Nong didn't know, so he smiled and looked at the eight noble ladies behind him, and said, "Come forward and sit with these gentlemen, so that everyone present can also take a look at the demeanor of my Dayan daughter." ”

After speaking, he smiled softly at Pei Lun, and Yingying stepped on the steps, Pei Lun was half a step behind her, and his eyes were focused on her back.

There were women around him who stole to hide and admire the eyes, but they were all shielded by him, and when he was not in front of her, he was the cold and cold immortal.
