Chapter 259: Banquet

Since it was decided that the matter of determining the character of the female dependents by banqueting the female dependents, Jiang Zhixia put this matter on the agenda and prepared for the banquet.

The second day was the first day of April, and on this day, no one held a banquet.

Therefore, Liu Tiankuo took Jiang Zhixia out of the city for a visit.

On the second day of the first month of April, Liu Tiankuo went to the palace to be on duty.

Jiang Zhixia made a post about appreciating peony flowers, and first gave it to Mrs. Hong, the family of Lord Weihong in Dongcheng.

After a while, I got a reply from Mrs. Hong, saying that she could come to participate at any time.

After all, Liu Tiankuo's identity is there. Ordinary people will not offend him easily. Not to mention, he is also the top boss of Lord Weihong in Dongcheng.

Therefore, as soon as Jiang Zhixia's post was posted, Mrs. Hong naturally responded immediately.

So, Jiang Zhixia asked the messenger to run again, and invited Mrs. Hong to watch the newly blooming peony flowers on the sixth day of the fourth month.

Peony flowers, there are them at home.

Originally, Jiang Zhixia had a dispensable attitude towards flowers and plants------- it was okay to have it, and it didn't matter if it didn't have it.

Later, when Mrs. Chengenhou came to Chu Mansion, she saw that although there was a garden in Chu Mansion, there was no gardener, not to mention that even flowers and plants were just ordinary.

Therefore, she specially told Jiang Zhixia about the truth of communication.

This garden, many times, is not only for people in their own house to enjoy the flowers, but more often, it is used as an excuse to come and go.

After all, when you want to have a party, it's a good excuse to enjoy the flowers.

There are flowers all year round, and banquets can be held all year round, and this can be a good excuse to enjoy the flowers whenever there is a need.

Flower viewing feast, flower appreciation feast, flower appreciation is not important, the important thing is a 'feast'.

Therefore, Mrs. Chengenhou often sent some precious seasonal flowers to Jiang Zhixia.

Two days ago, Mrs. Chengen Hou sent some peony flowers to Jiang Zhixia, and let her put them in the flower room, so that the florist would take care of them carefully.

Now, that's where it comes in.

Jiang Zhixia arranged for the stewards in the mansion to buy a lot of things, so he must do a good job of the banquet of these small gatherings.

Early in the sixth morning of the fourth month of April, the stewards of the house began to shout at the people to clean the house and lay out flowers and plants.

When Jiang Zhixia had breakfast, what he saw was clean and tidy, but the courtyard was full of flowers.

"You're really capable."

Jiang Zhixia smiled and praised the big girls around him.

There is no old lady by her side.

She also didn't want to get a person who relied on the old and sold the old to get in the way, so the main servants around her were the maids from before.

Because Jiang Zhixia usually has nothing to do, the female guard Dongli also acts as a maid.

And because Jiang Zhixia lives a single-family life, and he has money, he is not confined to being like other people's families, stuck with a few big girls and can't exceed the rules.

Therefore, Liu Tiankuo directly made four first-class big maids, four second-class maids, six third-class maids, and several rough maids.

Of course, Jiang Zhixia refused------ but still felt that the pomp was too big.

However, the rejection is invalid.

In addition, Mrs. Chengenhou also supported her son, saying that she could arrange it in her house as she wanted.

So, Dongli and Ruolan, the two kung fu maids, are naturally well-deserved first-class girls.

In addition, Xiao Man, who has followed Jiang Zhixia the longest, although she is very young, and now she is only ten years old, she still occupies a first-class place.

Another place was given to the original second-class maid Yingsleeve.

Because she is steady and careful in her daily work, she is mentioned.

Jiang Zhixia was originally worried about whether Dark Xiang would be unbalanced.

After all, two people entered the house together and made second-class maids together, but one was promoted to the second class, and the other was still second-class.

As a result, Mrs. Chengenhou taught her that a maid is a maid. The master gives grace, and the slave and maid must know how to be grateful. If you don't understand, you can change it at any time. Don't worry about the girl's mood.

Jiang Zhixia didn't agree with this point of view too much.

Although the maid is a subordinate, she is first and foremost a person and has feelings.

As a result, she later found out that this theory was not only said by Mrs. Chengenhou and Liu Tiankuo, but even by her subordinates. So, she had no choice but to give up.

Fortunately, when buying, they are all specially selected, these maids are motivated, but they are also loyal and honest, and no one has any moths.

At this moment, the big girls around Jiang Zhixia all laughed shyly when they heard her praise.

When Mrs. Hong arrived, Jiang Zhixia took a look at the missing moment next to her, and calculated the time in her heart, just past ten o'clock.

Therefore, Jiang Zhixia's first impression of Mrs. Hong was that she was very punctual! It is said that it is four moments in time, and there is no difference at all.

So, she hurriedly greeted her.

Mrs. Hong is forty years old, but she looks dignified and serious. In front of her, people can't help but feel careful.

After greeting each other, it was an endless greeting.

Jiang Zhixia first took Mrs. Hong to the back garden to watch the newly blooming peony flowers.

After appreciating the flowers, Jiang Zhixia took her to visit the Chu Mansion again. When it was time for lunch, I went to the flower hall for lunch.

After lunch, the two of them chatted for a while, and Mrs. Hong took her leave and went home.

Although they had seen each other at other banquets before, there was no way, the age difference between the two was too big.

In addition to polite greetings, talking about women's topics such as clothing materials, jewelry, rouge and gouache, etc., there is nothing else to talk about.

Coupled with Mrs. Hong's extraordinarily serious appearance, it was difficult for Jiang Zhixia to be kind.

On the eighth day of the fourth month, Jiang Zhixia invited Mrs. Huang, a family member of Lord Huang of the internal guard.

The same process went around again.

After seeing off Mrs. Huang, Jiang Zhixia sat down on the beauty couch.

"This socializer doesn't have to do heavy work, why is he so tired?"

Jiang Zhixia, who was leaning on the pillow, said helplessly with the hot tea handed over by his sleeves.

"Because ordinary work is done with hands and feet, and social people use their brains. I, a child, understand this truth, but my wife doesn't know it. ”

The youngest Xiao Man took the egg tart that Jiang Zhixia wanted to eat, opened the curtain and walked in, and said with a smile.

Ruolan was about to open her mouth to say that Xiao Man was talking back, but as a result, Xiao Man stuffed an egg tart directly into her mouth.

"I know, I know. Sister, let's hurry up and try the egg tarts that Madame wants to eat. If you don't do it again, I'll pick on it. Xiao Man smiled and begged for mercy.

Jiang Zhixia smiled.

Ruolan and Xiaoman have been with her for the longest time, and they have married together, so their affection is also the deepest.

So they were also very casual in front of her.

After Xiao Man stuffed Ruolan with an egg tart, he held the egg tart on another plate and carefully handed it to Jiang Zhixia: "Madame, can you taste this taste?" ”

Jiang Zhixia has been a little hungry lately, so he provided ideas for Xiao Man to do.

As a result, Xiao Man came and went, but it looked a little better.

Sure enough, cooking skills still depend on talent, and being able to cook is also far away from cooking.
