Chapter 67: Laba
 : : : : Xiaoyu curled the corners of her mouth, in her previous life, her company wanted to hold a product launch conference, she also participated in the preparation of this meeting as an administrator, she remembered that she first went to find some information about the company's layout of the exhibition in previous years, which saved a lot of energy.
 : : : : When Zhou's mother came over and looked forward to asking, the problem was solved.
 : : : :Zhou's mother found them the records of the Laba drinking banquet in previous years. Xiao Yu flipped through these records one by one, and discussed with Qi Pan: "Sister, let's first copy this guest list, and then take it to discuss with my mother to see what increases and decreases can be made on the basis of these people this year, and when my mother is sure that it is correct, we will arrange for someone to send the post!" ”
 : : : :Zhou's mother heard Xiaoyu's words, nodded her head in slightly approval, and said in her heart: "Although these two young ladies are from a poor family, they are not bad brains, they know how to be flexible, and they are really smart!" ”
 : : : :Xiaoyu made a rough list of things that need to be solved on paper according to the records of previous years, and marked out all things according to four types: urgent and important, urgent and not important, important and not urgent, neither urgent nor heavy.
 : : : :Qi Pan watched her write and sketch, and said with admiration: "Sister, you are really clear-minded, and the things that were originally complicated have become clear and orderly when you pull them like this." ”
 : : : :Xiaoyu smiled wistfully, and couldn't help but miss his previous life.
 : : : :The day before the Laba Festival, after two days of busyness, Xiaoyu and Qi Pan finally arranged the feast of the Laba Festival. On this morning, she and Qi Pan were in the small warehouse to count the decorations to be placed for the Laba Festival.
 : : : :" A ebony wood inlaid hill winter snow plum screen, a Ru kiln standing bird incense burner, and ......4 blue and white peony pattern plum vases", all of them, Xiao Yu read the list on the side, and looked forward to counting them one by one according to what Xiao Yu said.
 : : : : "Alright, it's all counted!" , I don't know how long it took, Xiaoyu and Qi Pan finally finished counting.
 : : : :Xiaoyu beckoned the two mothers to explain where these ornaments were placed, and then called the mother-in-law to come in and carry them out after they were clear.
 : : : :"Mother, the post has been sent according to the previous consultation with the mother, this is the menu that my sister and I have drawn up according to the practice of previous years, and please take a look at it", Mrs. took the menu and browsed it roughly, nodded again and again: "Pan'er, Xiaoyu, I didn't expect you two girls to still have a little thought, this menu is very good, by the way, didn't Zhuangzi send two sika deer yesterday, add a roast venison tomorrow, let everyone try it!" ”。
 : : : :Xiaoyu and Qi Pan went back to the preparatory work with their wives one by one, and after their wives approved, they ordered them one by one. Zhou's mother was staring at her, but she wasn't worried that those mothers-in-law were bullying Qi Pan Xiaoyu for being young and cheating and cheating.
 : : : :Early in the morning of the Laba Festival, the palace usually rewarded Laba porridge. Xiaoyu arranged that the big kitchen also boiled fragrant laba porridge overnight for everyone to drink.
 : : : :The second prince came early in the morning with Murong Hua, accompanied by Qi Heng in the outer courtyard martial arts arena. Because the Hou Ye was not there, only the female dependents were invited to this banquet, but the Laba Festival school had a day off, thinking that the second prince was idle and slipped to the Hou Mansion.
 : : : :Murong Hua absentmindedly competed in archery with the second prince in the martial arts arena, he was a drunkard who didn't mean to drink. Since the last time in the Great Buddha Temple, I haven't seen a small fish for a long time. He came this time to find a chance to meet the best woman again.
 : : : :The second prince looked at his friend's unrelenting appearance, smiled secretly in his heart, and patted Murong Hua's shoulder sympathetically. He himself knew a little about his friend's thoughts, but Murong Hua was going back to the grassland sooner or later, and he didn't think that the young lady of the Hou Mansion and his cousin would have anything to do with Murong Hua.
 : : : : Qi Heng didn't know anything, so he just asked Guo Di to teach him archery. Guo Di found Qi Heng the softest small bow and let Qi Heng play with it. Qi Heng was too young and his strength was not enough, so it was very difficult to pull this kind of bow.
 : : : :Seeing his red face, Guo Di patted Qi Heng's head with a smile and said, "Heng'er, you are still young, wait for you to teach you archery in a few years!" ”
 : : : :Qi Heng touched his head dissatisfiedly and said: "When will I grow up, you all say I'm young, don't let me touch anything!" ”
 : : : :Murong Hua smiled dumbly, and said with a smile on the side: "Little Hou Ye, what are you anxious about, I don't want to grow up yet!" After speaking, he thought melancholy: "If you can't grow up all the time, will you be able to avoid those open and secret battles?" “
 : : : :Taking advantage of Guo Di's entanglement by Qi Heng, Murong Hua quietly paced to the place adjacent to the inner courtyard. He still roughly remembers the last time he climbed over the wall, he was born in the grassland, and he didn't pay much attention to the red tape in the Central Plains. The eagle on the prairie will pounce on its prey when it sees it, and whether the prey is willing or not is not something he needs to consider.
 : : : : He has already thought about it, he sneaked into the inner courtyard quietly, just take a look at Xiaoyu secretly, since the Big Buddha Temple, her little pink face and sly smile have appeared in front of his eyes from time to time.
 : : : : She taught him backgammon, and he practiced it all the time when no one was around, and he believed that if he had the chance to play against this cunning little girl again, he would not lose again.
 : : : :Xiaoyu got up early in the morning, and after the routine and Qi Pan practice, the two of them freshened up and dressed up.
 : : : : Today's holiday, Xiaoyu wore an orange-red butterfly plum blossom skirt, pulled a lotus bun, and a jade pendant with a grain of rice swayed at the earlobe, adding a bit of playfulness to her.
 : : : :And Qi Pan has been nourished by these months of practice, and his complexion has improved a lot, not to mention, his former yellow and thin face is now plump and white.
 : : : :She wore a pink peach blossom jacket with a pink twenty-four skirt, ingeniously embroidered a few peach blossoms on the neckline and shoulders, the petals of the peach blossoms have been falling from the shoulder neckline to the placket and cuffs, and the skirt is also embroidered with a peach blossom to echo the jacket.
 : : : : Needless to say, this is still Xiaoyu's handiwork, and it is a new trick that Yunshang Pavilion thought of.
 : : : :Qi Pan combed the cloud snail bun, and there was an enamel pastel peach blossom hairpin on one side of the bun, and a string of pearls wiped the forehead trembling and drooped to the eyebrows, which added a bit of vividness to Qi Pan.
 : : : : The two came to Mrs. Canglangju together, and after having a meal, they waited for the ladies to come in the flower hall.
 : : : : Mrs. today wore the dark incense she bought at the press conference, the royal blue color is very good for Mrs. Madame's complexion, and the large picture of Hanmei Aoxue on the skirt, as Mrs. walked, the crystal pearls on the dress shone brightly, and it was more graceful. The lady wiped her forehead with white fox fur between her forehead, and a huge royal blue lapis lazuli was inlaid in the middle of the forehead, which matched her clothes very well.
 : : : : Old Madam Qin was naturally the first to come, and Qin Xueyi finally lifted the ban and could go out.
 : : : :Qin Xueyi also wore the "Qiao" she bought at the press conference today, a plum red corset brocade robe with the same color sprinkling trousers, silver silk threads are finely embroidered with intricate entwined branches and treasure flowers, and the waist, cuffs and hems are embroidered with the same color, embellished with transparent crystals and silver pearls.
 : : : :The whole person looks tall and thin, with a thin waist and long legs, and a heroic posture. In order to match this dress, Qin Xueyi also tied her hair high in a ponytail, and only decorated a piece of mutton fat white jade carved jade plaque on the bun. There is also a piece of mutton fat white jade carved jade pendant hanging from the waist, with moss-green ears.
 : : : : "Sister Qin, you really look good in this outfit", Qi Pan's eyes lit up when he saw Qin Xueyi, and Xiao Yu also stood aside and praised.
 : : : :Qin Xueyi said a little embarrassed: "I've been looking forward to going out for many days, and finally I am allowed to go out, of course I have to dress up beautifully." How's it going, two sisters, I look okay with this body, right? ”。
 : : : :Mrs. and Mrs. Qin looked at the interaction of the three little girls with a smile on the side, "Wanying, you see, the three of them are not as simple and enthusiastic as when you were young!" , Old Madam Qin looked at Qin Xueyi and greeted her wife.
 : : : : "Old Madam Qin, I'm not as vigorous as Miss Qin." Madame looked at Qin Xueyi with appreciative eyes.
 : : : : The three little girls stand together, although Qin Xueyi is the highest, but Qi Pan and Xiaoyu are not left behind. Qi Pan is as delicate as Chunlan Fufeng, small fish is as lively as new lotus dew, and Qin Xueyi is as vivid as cultivating bamboo and snow, each with its own characteristics.
 : : : : A few people are talking, and a few lower grade ladies are coming. Liu Yajuan also came with her mother with a smile, but Liu Yayue did not come this time. Liu Yajuan's mother looked haggard and silent last time. After a few months, this time I saw that Mrs. Liu's face was stretched and her complexion was quite good, and even her back was a little straighter.
 : : : :As soon as Liu Yajuan saw Xiaoyu and them, she went straight over to salute. Her round face was smiling, and after looking at Qi Pan's clothes, she burst out laughing.
 : : : : "Miss Qi's clothes were also bought by Yunshang Pavilion, you see, they are very similar to the style on my body!" , Xiao Yu and Qi Pan looked at her clothes carefully, and they both laughed.
 : : : :Liu Yajuan is really wearing the new winter clothes launched by the cloud shop, the moon-white shirt is embroidered with a little red plum, and the style is very similar to the one on Qi Pan's body.
 : : : :Liu Yajuan wears a red gold ruby inlaid plum hairpin on her head, the ruby is as red as pigeon's blood, and each one is the size of a small fingernail.
 : : : :Xiao Yu smiled and said, "It seems that Sister Liu's life is good during this time!" She glanced at the pair of warm Hetian jade bracelets on Liu Yajuan's wrist again.
 : : : :From the jewelry on Liu Yajuan's head and wrist and the latest clothes in the cloud shop, it can be seen that Liu Yajuan's treatment at home has been greatly improved, coupled with the grounding of Liu Yajuan, who Qin Xueyi gossiped about last time, it seems that Mrs. Liu really taught her son a lesson.
 : : : :Liu Yajuan said to Xiaoyu gratefully: "Thanks to the last time Miss Er woke up the dreamer!" Xiao Yu waved his hand and said: "Where is it, I just told the truth, and thanks to Mrs. Liu, I can distinguish right from wrong!" ”。 Liu Yajuan no longer argued, but just showed a kind smile to Xiaoyu in a good-natured manner.
 : : : :Qin Xueyi pulled the little fish aside and whispered: "I heard that Miss Liu's aunt said that she was suffering from a serious illness and was sent to Zhuangzi to recuperate. Then Miss Liu Er was also grounded. ”
