In the Rong Mansion, after rewarding several groups of officials who beat gongs and drums to send good news, rewarding the subordinates of the Mansion, and receiving old congratulations from relatives and friends, there is a meaning of opening a banquet to thank you.

The ninth day of the ninth month of September is the heavy nine festivals, also known as the ascending festival.

This day was also a serious festival of the Jing Dynasty, so the emperor gave the courtiers a day off.

And because the 10th day of the first month of September is a serious day of rest, so the officials have two days of rest.

During the Ninth Festival, each family either reunites with their families, or gathers with their closest relatives, or goes to the heights to look far away, so it is not very suitable for a banquet.

Therefore, it is scheduled to hold a chrysanthemum viewing party in the house on the tenth day of the ninth month.

Therefore, on the first day of the ninth month, the posts of the Rong Mansion were sent to the cases of the noble ministers of various families.

And the house is also busy preparing for the banquet.

Rong Shunhua is going to get married next year, so the eldest lady took Rong Shunhua with her and taught her hand in hand.

After all, Rong Shunhua will be the housewife in the future, and this housekeeper's knowledge is profound.

Although Aunt Zhao is a noble concubine, she is also a young lady from an official family after all------- but when she got married, her father's official position was too low.

She knew the importance of housekeeping, but she also knew that she didn't know much about it.

So, Aunt Zhao begged the eldest master pitifully for a few days, and then gave the face of a maid beside her to the eldest master, which coaxed the eldest master to open his heart.

Therefore, the eldest lord asked the eldest lady to take Rong Qiaoqian with her to teach her together.

After all, although Rong Qiaoqian has not yet decided to marry, she has passed the ceremony.

It is not far from getting married.

The eldest lady responded with a cold face.

"He's sentimental. Not only doted on the slut, but also the daughter with the slut. Now, although the marriage of these two girls is for me to look at, I still have to nod in the end. ”

The eldest lady said hatefully while cutting the chrysanthemums newly picked from the back garden with scissors.

Mama Yi next to her looked at the eldest lady's expression of love and hate, and sighed deeply.

My own lady has such a temperament, and she always wrongs herself.

If she really doesn't have love for the eldest master, then she can be a truly virtuous and generous person.

It doesn't matter who the eldest lord favors and likes, just maintain the dignity of her wife.

But she obviously has a deep love for the eldest master, but she is stubborn and refuses to admit defeat, and she is very indifferent in front of outsiders ------- even in front of the eldest master.

If she firmly blocks the eldest master from accepting concubines, even if she has a reputation for jealousy, no one will block it in the end.

But she has to maintain the dignity of the daughter of the family, and she refuses to have a reputation for jealousy.

For the sake of the reputation of that virtuous person, the young lady was angry that the old man accepted people, and refused to stop him.

So, Miss is bitter.

Not only to show generosity towards the aunts of the eldest man, through the room and the children, but also jealousy and hatred.

Every day, I live a contradictory and painful life.

"Hmph, you want me to teach her housekeeping. I don't have that kind of idleness. From today onwards, everything at the banquet will be arranged by the eldest lady. Don't you want to stay by my side and watch? Then stay with me all day and wait in the main hall. ”

After a long time, the doctor threw the silver scissors and said hatefully.

"Madam, after all, this is a banquet prepared for the uncle, how can you really leave it alone?"

Mama Yi looked at the eldest lady's angry appearance, and couldn't help frowning and persuading.

"Is the nurse also confused?" The eldest lady frowned and looked at Mama Yi, "I mean I stayed in the main hall and didn't go out to see the steward, where did I say that I didn't care at all?" I taught the eldest lady alone, and asked the eldest lady to come forward to arrange the stewardship? ”

Mama Yi listened to the words of the eldest lady, but she was relieved.

It's not just a matter of leaving it alone.

It's really that she is worried that the eldest lady is angry, and she really doesn't care.

The eldest lady thought about this banquet, and the two girls couldn't learn anything, so she felt a little happier in her heart.

So, the eldest lady asked Mama Yi to find Rong Shunhua alone, and explained the process of the banquet in detail and taught various preparations and arrangements and other trivial matters.

From the next day, the eldest lady sat firmly in the meditation courtyard, leaving the second lady Rong Qiaoqian to wait on the side.

She didn't go to the steward to arrange things, or to find the aunts to chat and talk, or to go to the small Buddha hall in the back room to burn incense and chant the Buddha, asking the Buddha to bless her son to be able to win three yuan next year.

However, the housekeeper in the courtyard of the eldest lady was extremely busy in and out.

Rong Qiaoqian is not stupid.

After staying by the eldest lady's side for two days, I understood that the eldest lady didn't want to teach her thoughts at all.

Don't blame her for taking two days to think about it.

She just thought that it was not yet the day of the banquet, so she hadn't started to prepare yet.

After all, the banquet is on the tenth day of the first month, and today is only the fourth day of the first month.

Before, in order to say goodbye to the eldest lady, Rong Qiaoqian also focused on poetry and songs.

Therefore, she has always been indifferent to such mundane things as family affairs.

Now, learning housekeeping from the eldest lady is also Aunt Zhao's strong request.

Just for this, Rong Qiaoqian also had a big quarrel with Aunt Zhao.

However, when she was in the fourth year of junior high school, Rong Qiaoqian understood what the eldest lady didn't want to teach her, and felt that it was just what she wanted.

So, she just didn't go to the meditation monastery because she was sick.

After the eldest lady learned that Rong Qiaoqian did not go to the meditation courtyard, but did not go to the girls' school, she went out of the mountain again and began to frequently meet with the various housekeepers and grandmothers to arrange banquets.

It's just that the eldest lady cleaned up a wing room in the courtyard and saw the steward in her own courtyard.

In this way, Rong Qiaoqian did not go to women's school, but studied poetry in her own yard.

The eldest lady saw the steward in her own courtyard, arranged various things for the banquet, and taught Rong Shunhua by the way.

Aunt Zhao thought that Rong Qiaoqian had been learning about housekeeping in the meditation courtyard.

For a moment, all three parties calmed down.

Rong Qiaoyan was in Xingruo Garden, listening to the news from all parties that Shirui had discovered, and couldn't help but sigh at Shirui's ability.

Sure enough, the ruler is short, and the inch is long.

Mama Yang really didn't look away, Shirui was really good at finding out the news.

Rong Qiaoyan, who sighed, walked to the door and saw the rain falling in the dark night through the light of the lantern under the corridor.

I don't hear the insects and birds, but only hear the sound of the rain hitting the fallen leaves, which makes the rainy night particularly lonely at this time.

One layer of autumn rain and one layer of cool.

It's been nearly a month since she last saw Lin Wanqing, but Rong Qiaoyan never had a chance to see her again.

Either he was confined to the courtyard or he was forbidden to leave the house.

This banquet is a good opportunity.

It's just that the door of the Lin Mansion is not obvious, and I am afraid that the outer courtyard will not give a post to Lord Lin.

Then you can only rely on yourself to post Lin Wanqing.

Rong Qiaoyan slowly walked to the porch, reached out to catch the bean-sized raindrops, and let the wetness spread between her palms and fingers.

If you go to the eldest lady to ask for a post, I don't know if the eldest lady will give it or not?
