Chapter 271: Mei Yan
Princess Hanshan and the second princess took the lead, and a group of noble ladies behind them walked towards the back garden, along the verandah, there was no snowflake infestation, and the temperature of the cloak was just right.
The back garden of the Hanshan Princess's Mansion is a warm wooden house, and the bottom is all connected to the fire road, and the earth dragon has been burned early, and as soon as you enter the greenhouse wooden house, everyone feels a burst of warmth.
Generally, the house with the earth dragon, the fire wall, and the earthen kang is extremely dry, but this warm wooden house does not have that obvious dryness, and the house seems to have a wave of water.
"My aunt's greenhouse is really the most popular place to come in winter." The second princess smiled and groaned, which was also the reason why she liked to come to the plum banquet.
"This greenhouse was built on the lake, and it was directly sealed from the top when it was enclosed, so a few openings were left, and a lot higher was built, and a fire channel was added, and then the greenhouse was built." The lord of Pingyuan County talked eloquently about the peculiarities of introducing the greenhouse to the big guys, especially the people who came for the first time were all surprised, this is a big project.
"The lake water is living water, even if it is sealed, the water source is still alive, it is cool in summer, and the earth dragon is ignited in winter, and the greenhouse will not feel dry."
Chen Xiuyan understood, and then sighed that it is good to be rich.
Today's Mei Yan set up ten tables, all the family members of the officials in the capital came, Chen Xiuyan and the three of them were arranged separately, Chen Xiuyan and the high grade of the Changshou County Lord were arranged on the main table, Luo Mingxin's title was Zheng Sipin, and the position was at the fifth table at the back, which made Chen Xiuyan's face sink.
"Wenshui Junjun was given a marriage to the fifth prince of Tatar as a princess, so it's not appropriate to arrange it later." The second princess saw Chen Xiuyan's expression and opened her mouth to relieve the siege.
"I don't know which maid is missing her heart, this can be misplaced." Shen Rongshi smiled and moved Luo Mingxin's position to the main table, and added a vacant seat next to Chen Xiuyan, anyway, the main table is the largest, and it won't feel crowded if you add someone.
Because of the words of the second princess, Princess Hanshan could not target Luo Mingxin again, so she could only let people take the maid who lacked heart and eyes out of the greenhouse and change it to a maid to serve.
The ones who came were all the backyard housewives with many hearts, where I couldn't understand, Princess Hanshan was dissatisfied with the monarch of Wenshui, and the reason for this must be the matter of marrying a foreign country, Nan'an is not as good as Tatar, and it is a person who knows a little bit that the county lord is not as good as the county monarch, so it is no wonder that Princess Hanshan is uncomfortable.
But the second princess's statement is meaningful, the second princess and the third prince are dragon and phoenix fetuses, and the Jin Wangfu is standing on the boat of the third prince, it seems that the relationship is really close.
The second princess's speech also made many people guess the meaning of the palace, whether they were a little dissatisfied with Princess Hanshan, otherwise why did the marriage fall on Princess Hanshan's mansion, the older people know that Princess Hanshan was in a hurry to get married, and Princess Hanshan chose Shen Guogong herself, and it was they who made a fuss later.
Even if the palace pities Princess Hanshan, but there are people who don't like her, they do it themselves, and they have entered the palace a lot for their children over the years, and they have obtained a lot of benefits, and the palace should be a little bored, otherwise the county lord of Pingyuan, as the princess's daughter, should be the title of the county lord, but the palace gave a county lord. …
"The plum blossoms picked last year were brewed with clean snow water and buried under the plum trees for a full year, and they were only taken out today, and everyone drank a few glasses and tasted this plum wine." Princess Hanshan was a little annoyed in her heart, but she still smiled and kicked off the prelude to today's plum banquet.
The jar of winemaking has long been emptied, the plum blossom wine has been poured into the delicate azure wine jug, it is worth a lot of money at a glance, the maid fish runs in, and the ladies and ladies present are full, a fragrance is refreshing, the wine is covered with a faint powder, and the wine is secretly surging with a cold and elegant plum fragrance, so that the people present are full of emotion good wine.
The wine is full, the dishes are served one after another, and the banquet noodles of the plum banquet are all taken as a given, and the food is hot and fresh, which makes Chen Xiuyan a little surprised, but more is looking forward to it, because such ingredients are the most delicious.
The first dish is plum blossom lily porridge, Chen Xiuyan is not very looking forward to hearing the name, she is generally sweet porridge, but after people moved up, she was surprised, plum blossoms are just an embellishment, and they are not cooked into the porridge, I thought it was sweet porridge, but it turned out to be seafood porridge, lily is also a decoration, the most important abalone, sea cucumber is not named.
Only then did Chen Xiuyan know that her name did not live up to her name, maybe it was to match with the plum blossoms.
Chen Xiuyan looked at the porridge in front of him and thought of Japanese food, which was delicate but the amount was really small, Chen Xiuyan's spoon scooped three spoonfuls, the spoon was not very big, and it was not all true.
The second dish is fried plum cake, a sweet food, fried crispy dough wrapped in juice plum blossom filling, not very sweet and greasy, the taste of plum blossom is light, eat it and leave a fragrant taste, but a plum cake is the size of two thumb covers.
the third is candied plum crispy meat; After that, the plum blossom mandarin fish was served, and of course everyone only got a piece.
The fifth course starts with plum ham and mutton soup, plum blossom sliced duck, plum blossom baked venison, plum snow noodles, plum bun confectionery......
Chen Xiuyan looked at the dishes with plum blossoms, or meat, or staple food, or dim sum, or dishes, her ears were numb, her mouth was not busy enough, her stomach was still a little empty, and the portion was too small.
The plum blossom wine is good, sweet, Chen Xiuyan took two sips, the aftertaste was sweet, but no matter how much, she didn't dare to taste it, and she didn't know what the stamina was, but she brought someone out today.
The plum blossom wine in front of the lord of Changshou is an ornament, what she really drinks is sweet brew, Luo Mingxin is no longer qualified to drink sweet brew, the plum blossom wine that everyone her age drinks, the girl's family is not easy to get drunk, and she is not good at refusing.
"Wenshui Junjun, I respect you for this glass of wine, we are all going to marry a foreign country, and I hope that foreign countries will be smooth sailing in the future." The county lord of Pingyuan suddenly got up and raised his glass towards Luo Mingxin.
Luo Mingxin generously stood up and raised his glass, "Thank you county lord." ”
After speaking, Luo Mingxin drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, and the county lord of Pingyuan took a sip, and then sat down calmly.
With the beginning of the plain county lord, it makes a lot of sense, and the people who toasted were endless, Chen Xiuyan looked at Luo Mingxin, who drank more and more, and his cheeks were a little red, and he felt distressed for a while.
There are also people who respect the county lord of Pingyuan, but they are all of higher status than her, and the county lord of Pingyuan will only have a drink, and the rest of the time they will touch their lips.
Luo Mingxin didn't do it here, and drank cup after cup.
"I'm afraid this kid has drunk too much." Chen Xiuyan stood up and took advantage of the situation to support Luo Mingxin, stretched out his hand and made a small force on her waist, and Luo Mingxin immediately leaned on Chen Xiuyan's shoulder.
