As for the pastry fruits, it goes without saying. The fruits are carefully selected from the mountains behind the Huangzhuang, fragrant pears, apples, grapes, mulberries, raspberries...... Although it is already late autumn, many out-of-season fruits, such as peaches, watermelons, melons, and strawberries, are preserved as if they have just been picked from the orchard.

The pastries were delivered from Yu Kee's pastry shop. In addition to the delicate snacks on each table, the most eye-catching thing is the giant cake made on the spot in the hall downstairs of the Zhen Yu Lou. The cake below is baked and shipped from the pastry shop and is combined to form a large rectangle about ten meters long and three meters wide. The cream, jam and honey-pickled fruit on it were made by six sweet-looking little girls on the spot.

The little girls and young masters who came earlier gathered around the giant cake making site, looking curiously with their heads out. When the lifelike cream flowers and brightly colored decorations bloom in the hands of these young pastry chefs, they always attract a burst of amazement.

The giant cake is surrounded by pink and purple roses and green leaves, as if they have just been plucked from the flowers. The skirt of the cake is decorated with white cream, with various jam patterns and honey-stained fruit in the middle.

The last thing to do was a little girl in the middle wearing a red flag suit, with big eyes, pointed chin, and a slender figure, and the appearance of Xiaocao could be vaguely recognized between her eyebrows and eyes. The decoration of this human figure is the masterpiece of Yang Liu, the head of Yu Kee Pastry Shop and the top cake chef.

Those who came a little later did not see the birth of this giant cake with their own eyes, and listened to the description of the people in front of them, and they were deeply regretful. However, they all quietly asked a few cake chefs next to the cake if they could make a superstar birthday cake like this one. When they learned that they had to book a month in advance and that it was worth a lot of money, no one hesitated, because most of the people who came to Xiaocao and the banquet were either rich or expensive, and no one was short of the money of a cake. Some people even wrote their birth dates on the spot in the reservation book in the hands of the cake chef. Because of the willow that wants to give his master a long face at the banquet, inadvertently, he gave his own pastry shop a new reservation high. Tide.

Originally, Yu Xiaocao planned to keep a low profile, only invite some relatives and friends to come over, and celebrate with dinner like a birthday in his previous life. But 0 is, not to mention that she is reluctant to do her godmother, Mrs. Fang, even the palace has a will, and she also sent the palace maid Chunhong out of the palace to help Mrs. Fang Zhang Luo and Lu. Such a grand favor has made some people in the DPRK and China have a small calculation in their hearts.

The guests of the banquet are naturally indispensable relatives of the Yu family, such as the grandfather's family, grandparents, uncles, second uncles, uncles, three aunts, cousins, and brothers-in-law. Zhu Junyang sent his own convoy to pick up these relatives.

Then there are the relatives of the Fang family, the house town is an orphan, and there are no other relatives except for Mrs. Zhao, who stayed in Beijing. However, Mrs. Fang's mother's family has a lot of relatives, although she only invited her uncles and uncles, and many people came.

In the past, Mrs. Fang accepted a peasant girl as a righteous daughter, which made her mother's family very incomprehensible to her, saying that she wanted to recognize a girl Cheng Huan's knees, and instead of choosing her niece, she accepted a country girl from a low background and vulgar. Especially about Xia Furong, her sister-in-law even came to quarrel with her and threatened to cut off contact with her.

But in the past two years, Yu Xiaocao has relied on his own ability, not only has his career flourished, his business has made money every day, but he has also been favored in front of the emperor, and he was named the honorary title of the county lord. Now, if you want to talk about net worth and pets, let alone the declining Xia family, even the loyal and diligent uncle of the house town is difficult to stand out.

The Xia family, who has always been high and low, will never miss this opportunity to get closer to the Yu family, to be precise, with Yu Xiaocao, even if there is no invitation from Mrs. Fang. Therefore, all the descendants, whether they are not on the list of invitations, will also come over and make a familiar face.

The sister-in-law who threatened to cut off the relationship with her sister-in-law actually had the face to come up and wanted Xia Furong to be a praiser of Xiaocao and Luli. Not to mention that Xia Furong and Xiaocao have had unhappiness in the first place, everyone who praises them is a friend or sister of the Zhu people, which onion and garlic is she?

In addition to relatives, there are people who are relatively close. There are the eldest princess, An Ning Hou and his wife, An Ning Hou Shizi and his wife, and they are still holding a baby who is just over a year old, of course, He Wanning, a dead friend, is indispensable. She had already booked the praiser, and asked Yuan Xueyan and the county lord of Minglan not to rob her.

There were also many people from the Yuan family, first Dean Yuan, the great Confucian, then the prime minister's wife, Yuan Xueyan's brothers and sisters-in-law, plus Yuan Xueyan, and her younger brother Yuan Yunxi. The other is the county lord of Minglan, and her mother and sister-in-law. Yu Shilang and his wife, Yu Wanqing's brother and sister-in-law and Yu Wanqing.

As a partner, Li Mengru will naturally not be absent. Mrs. Li cooperated with her daughter-in-law Li Mengqi, and two young sons who joined in the fun......

There is also the Zhou family, the old lady and the old lady came to watch the ceremony in person, and the wife and children of the big house, of course, Mrs. Zhou, who has a good relationship with Xiaocao, the mother of the third young man, also brought a congratulatory gift to celebrate the little girl. Mrs. Zhou didn't know that Xiaocao was already famous, and she was still thinking in her heart that her son and Xiaocao had known each other since childhood, and the relationship had always been good, should she kiss and kiss?

followed by the male and female hosts of the Sawang Mansion, as well as the prince and the wife of the prince, Zhu Yan'er, who had a good relationship with Xiaocao, shouted to be a praiser for Xiaocao as soon as she arrived, and was scolded back by He Wanning.

Jingwangfu, the future in-law of Xiaocao, and his daughter-in-law's coming-of-age ceremony, it is impossible not to participate. Princess Jing almost snatched Mrs. Fang's seat and treated herself as the host to greet guests. Zhu Junyang was about to go to the third floor with his mother, but was stopped by two future mothers-in-law. Mrs. Fang looked at him with a smile and said, "The people watching the ceremony upstairs are all female guests, if the king of Yangjun goes up, it's not appropriate, right?" Although Zhu Junyang didn't want to miss the little daughter-in-law's ceremony, he had to stay downstairs and wait for the little daughter-in-law's ceremony to finish due to etiquette.

The most unexpected thing is that King Duan, who has always lived in a simple place, also brought Princess Duan to watch the ceremony. Although Duanwang looks thinner, his body is still quite tough, and he is not as terminally ill as rumored. Could it be that Miss Yu's medical skills are really more superb than the old doctors in the Tai Hospital, and she has cured Duanwang's stubborn diseases for decades?

If people eat whole grains, how can they not get sick? Befriending a skilled apricot forest is not a chance for everyone. Therefore, the arrival of King Duan attracted a lot of uninvited guests to Xiaocao's banquet. Looking at the extra people, people are rushing to give gifts, so they can't blast people out, right? Mrs. Fang greeted the guests warmly, and asked people to ask if the dishes prepared were full on Wednesday. Fortunately, on Wednesday, I did less things safely, and prepared a lot of table dishes, so as not to make a joke that the guests had no table to sit on.

Of course, the only ones who can go up to the third floor to watch the ceremony are those female dependents. The rest of the guests stayed downstairs for refreshments. Originally, the ceremony was carried out in the "family temple", so when the Yu family's post stated that the ceremony was held in Zhenyulou, many people laughed in their hearts that the Yu family did not understand the rules. However, as soon as they entered the auditorium on the third floor, the mood of watching the joke suddenly disappeared.

The auditorium on the third floor is quiet and open, and the luxurious decoration reveals the smell of books, revealing the solemnity everywhere, and it is even more magnificent than most people's family temples. Especially the layout inside, all kinds of details, people can't help but praise it.

When they stepped up the steps, they were greeted by Liu, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, fair and delicate skin, and could not find the temperament of a peasant woman at all, and Mrs. Fang, who was smiling calmly, all standing on the east steps to greet the guests. There is a division under the west stairs that turns out to be Mrs. Hou Shizi of An Ning.

And today's protagonists: Yu Xiaocao and Yu Xiaolian sisters took a fragrant petal bath, changed into clothes and shoes, and sat in the dressing room on the east side of the auditorium and waited. That's right, Xiaocao and Xiaolian are twin sisters, and of course they have to do it together.

Xiaolian secretly poked her head out of the dressing room, looked at the elegant and luxurious guests outside, stuck out her tongue, and said mischievously: "Little sister, today I am stained with your light, there are so many official wives and ladies and ladies to come to celebrate, if I never dreamed of it before!" ”

"What is there to dare to think about? What about Mrs. Guan? Aren't you two eyes and one mouth, too? Can you compare more nostrils than us? Yu Xiaocao's little head also appeared above her head, leaning out and looking out.

The eldest aunt Han saw it and hurriedly pushed the two similar little heads back: "Be honest!" Today is your big day, and in front of so many guests, you can't make jokes! Do you remember the etiquette that Mama taught you a few days ago? Hurry up and recall the memories in your head to avoid mistakes! ”

Yu Xiaocao smiled and shook her aunt's arm, and said coquettishly: "Auntie, I'm so thirsty, bring me a piece of watermelon to quench your thirst!" ”

"No! What if I'm nervous and come up with a compliment when the time comes? Bear with me, and as soon as the ceremony is over, I'll bring you a glass of watermelon juice. Xiaolian, so are you! All good! The eldest aunt calmed down the two uneasy little girls, and hurried out to greet the guests. Although those distinguished guests don't need her to show up, there are not a few guests who can come from their hometown, and the younger siblings and younger sisters don't be too busy, she has to go out and keep an eye on them.

The sound of classical and pleasant musical instruments sounded, and the arrival of the guests caused an uproar. The eldest princess, who was originally going to grab the seat of the guest, immediately smiled and let Xian go as soon as she saw the person. I still muttered in my heart: This little girl of the Yu family, with such a big face, actually invited the queen mother as a guest. Is there anything more honorable than this?
