Chapter 256: The Villa Welcomes Guests

Princess Lu's eyes changed when she looked at Chen Xiuyan, thinking of the farce in the palace of the Flower Cake Festival, although it was not clearly targeted, but the three princesses and Chen Xiuyan disappeared from the banquet, but both of them were safe and sound, and today seeing Chen Xiuyan's kung fu, Princess Lu had a guess in her heart, the queen mother and the virtuous concubine were blind, no wonder they couldn't calculate people.

"I heard that there is a good hot spring in the Zhuangzi of His Royal Highness King Jin, I wonder if there is such an honor to see it?" Princess Lu asked with a smile, and then everyone's eyes in the racecourse looked at Chu Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan.

Really looking for trouble, Chen Xiuyan gritted her teeth secretly, if it was usual, she would definitely agree, but today Concubine Yuan is here, others don't know her, Princess Lu must know.

"Isn't the princess welcome?" Princess Lu was slightly shocked and said, "The eldest prince, princess and princess are all returning to Beijing for the first time. ”

"Of course it's welcome, but I'm afraid of slacking off." Chen Xiuyan said slightly apologetically, "The child at home is only a few months old, and the crying is noisy, so I am afraid that it will affect everyone's rest, so I am thinking about sending the child back to the city first, so that we can better entertain you." ”

Chen Xiuyan thought about sending Concubine Yuan and casually away, so as to avoid the two encounters.

"Didn't I hear that Zhuangzi occupies a large area, where can the cry be so far?" Princess Lu sneered.

"Half of the land is this horse farm." Chen Xiuyan said, "Princess Lu has been in Tai'an for a long time, and she has forgotten about coming to Zhuangzi before. ”

Princess Lu raised her eyebrows, this eldest daughter-in-law of King Jin is really bold and not afraid of things, "Maybe, then we will go to pack our luggage and go directly to Zhuangzi later." ”

"Waiting for you." Chen Xiuyan responded with a smile, it is impossible to refuse to refuse, she should go back and sort out Zhuangzi again.

Chen Xiuyan didn't expect to find Chu Wenqian's hard work, so she took on such a big job, "There's a letter from Taiyuan Mansion, I came to you to talk about this." ”

"Let's wait until we're gone." Chu Wenqian frowned and said, "Aunt Yuan is better in Zhuangzi, now it's hard to guarantee that you won't meet on the way when you go out, don't send it back casually, you follow Aunt Yuan and Changshou in a courtyard, I will live in the front yard, and together with Tao Lao, it is easy to deal with male guests." ”

"There is a remote small courtyard behind the hot spring in the backyard, you said that it is not appropriate to arrange guests there, or I will live there with Aunt Yuan, Changshou and casually, so many people will come at that time, if the other party makes a request, we may have to let the main courtyard out." Chen Xiuyan said truthfully.

After all, they are just the prince and the princess, not the prince and princess, it stands to reason that the main courtyard is for the king of Jin and the palace of the king of Jin, and they are in the courtyard when no one asks them, and the two of them are really hard to say.

"But as a host, it is not suitable to live so remotely, but it is not suitable for guests to live, I am afraid that more people will come." Chen Xiuyan is a little weak, and the thing that greets people is to be boring.

"Go back and ask Aunt Yuan's opinion." Chu Wenqian was also a little helpless.

Hot Spring Zhuangzi, the county lord of Changshou was about to go out, and met Chu Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan who came over outside the gate, "Sister Xiuyan, why have you been there for so long?" ”

The county lord of Changshou grabbed Chen Xiuyan's hand, and his words and posture were full of intimacy.

"I met the envoys from foreign countries who came to Beijing to congratulate the saint on his birthday, as well as Princess Lu, and they will come to Zhuangzi in a while, and they want to live with us." Chen Xiuyan told the truth.

Hearing this, Gonggong Xia said directly, "Then we may not be able to live in the main courtyard anymore, Concubine Yuan is here, it is not appropriate to live there, it is too eye-catching, and it will always be seen." ”

"So I thought I wouldn't live in that little courtyard behind the hot springs." Chen Xiuyan said.

"It's too biased, and it's eye-catching." Father-in-law Xia pondered for a long time.

"It's not appropriate to go back now." Chu Wenqian added.

"It's not suitable, and you'll definitely encounter it halfway." Gonggong Xia replied, "But don't worry, Concubine Yuan, our family will let people watch it." ”

Concubine Yuan got the news, "It's okay to arrange it, anyway, a group of people will not be in the courtyard when they get together, and no one will come to look for me if I stay in the courtyard, unless there is a store to inquire about the news, so it will be the same everywhere." ”

Chen Xiuyan didn't let people move the luggage, but Concubine Yuan went to the next yard first.

Almost all the people on the racecourse came, Chen Xiuyan looked at the crowd, with a smile on her face, and her mother sold a batch in her heart, it was really unkind, they all came, and all the yards had to be full.

The male guest Chu Wenqian arranged it in the front yard, and the female guest Chen Xiuyan first took a group of people to familiarize themselves with the terrain and pattern.

"In addition to the two hot springs in the backyard, there are hot springs in the main courtyard, and you can come and live anytime and anywhere, princess, don't you have to give it to those of us who rarely enter Beijing once?" Princess Lu said unceremoniously, walking around the main house in the main courtyard, looking very satisfied.

"What do you think of the eldest princess?" Princess Lu did not forget to pull allies.

The main courtyard was smoothly ceded to Princess Lu, the eldest princess, the princess of Goryeo and the princess of Nan'anguo, Chen Xiuyan went with the flow and let people move the salute to the courtyard closest to the main courtyard, of course, others would not have any opinions.

Chen Xiuyan, the sister-in-law of the Qi family, arranged a courtyard, and the spare room also allowed the Wen family girls who had a good relationship with them or were related to them.

The remote courtyard was also full, after all, there were too many girls, and all the courtyards were full before they could be properly settled.

Chen Xiuyan was so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground, and she went to Zhang Luo for dinner at night, and she had to set up three tables in the backyard, and she also needed three tables in the front yard, and a six-table banquet, fortunately, she was already self-sufficient in Zhuangzi, there was no shortage of chickens, ducks, fish, and meat, and there were many vegetables, and they brought a lot of good ingredients when they came.

There is Mama Miao in the kitchen, the menu is listed at once, there is no need for Chen Xiuyan to worry about it, and after the order is instructed, tables and chairs are set up in the backyard hall, ornaments, dishes and chopsticks are all placed neatly, cold dishes come up one after another, and all the maids who are waiting are in place.

At two o'clock, Chen Xiuyan personally went to the main courtyard to invite people, and the maids in the rest of the courtyard went to invite, and after two quarters of an hour, all the people were in place and sat down at the dinner table.

There are many noble people in this group, but the oldest is Princess Lu, so she sits on the main seat, and on the left and right are the eldest princess, the princess of Goryeo and the princess of Nan'an, then Chen Xiuyan and the lord of Changshou, and then the lady, grandmother and young lady of the family who sit on the high ground of the door.

That Qin Wanqing actually sat at the main table, relying on the title of Anren with six grades, the Qi family's family was not low, and the grandmother and young lady in the house next to her were really not as high as her, but she was also the last to sit down, and she could enter the main table.
