There are still six days to go before the New Year, and at this time, no matter which mansion it is, it is so busy that its feet do not touch the ground, and each family sends New Year's goods, ready to dust the New Year!

It stands to reason that there will be no one who will hold any banquet at this juncture, even if someone holds a banquet at this time, invites someone to eat or something, if it is a family without identity, at most it will not be polite to anyone, or send the family's right-hand man or steward to take a trip and accuse him.

But Mrs. Ji's plum banquet is different, one of the reasons is because the Ji family has retired for many years, leaving only two young sons to grow up in Beijing, and later returned to Beijing again, and there was a folk eldest princess in the family, although the reputation of this eldest princess ......

But even so, there are still many people who want to climb the Ji family and hug this big tree!

Especially those who want to go further and become close ministers of the Son of Heaven, this time they all instructed their wives to make friends with the wives of the Ji family, and even more to please Mrs. Ji, especially the blue eyes of the eldest princess, and they must find a chance to please her!

"Don't worry, husband, isn't it just a child? I have a very good way to deal with children! ”

Before Mrs. Tingsheng Marquis went out, she was really annoyed by her own marquis's nagging, so she gave him a very impatient look.

"Oops, ma'am! Don't be impatient! You should think deeply about everything!

Just think about it for your granddaughter Ah Ning, if she can be like that Xie Pan'er, she can get the blue eyes of Chang Rongshun and the eldest princess, and then take the opportunity to contact Your Majesty, and then the opportunity for our Shi family will come! ”

As a big family, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and the young generation of men in their family have no outstanding children, and if you want to keep the lintel, you can only let your granddaughter enter the palace!

"Got it! Don't worry, I have already talked to my eldest daughter-in-law about this matter, and we will take Ah Ning to this banquet, and we will let her find a chance to get close to Chang Rongshun and the eldest princess! ”

Mrs. Tingsheng Hou said and went out!

And on the side of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Song Xiangye and his wife are also talking about it.

"My daughter's age is not young, I don't think she is too keen on entering the palace, Madame might as well explore Mrs. Ji's tone this time, and see if we can Yingxue and the son of the Ji family?"

As soon as Mrs. Song heard Song Xiang's words, her eyes couldn't help but widen.

She was surprised. "Xiangye actually has the idea of marrying the Ji family?"

"There are still four unmarried children in the Ji family, among them, we don't know the situation of the fourth and sixth children, but the seventh and eighth children, they are all promising!

Whether it is the seventh child of the Ji family or the eighth child of the Ji family, as long as it is possible to reflect the snow with us, Mrs. should try her best to promote it! ”

"I didn't expect Xiang Ye to have such a big evaluation of the two sons of the Ji family!"

After saying this, Mrs. Song couldn't help but shake her head and smiled, "The two sons of the Ji family really have both ability and political integrity, especially Ji Youze, who will definitely be among the top three in the coming year, if Yingxue and him become successful, our Song family will also have a big help in the future!" Xiangye's actions in the court must be twice the result with half the effort! ”

When Mrs. Song said this, she hurriedly assured Song Xiang that she would definitely be able to facilitate this marriage! ”

Mrs. Song took her daughter and went towards Ji's house.

In this plum banquet held by Mrs. Ji, the most disgusting person was not the Zhenguo Mansion

The Xie family of Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple.

The Zhenguo Mansion vomited, that was because when the Duchess of Zhenguo went to the Ji family for help a few days ago, she didn't get a good face from the Ji family, not to mention, she also had a few words with the third lady of the Ji family, and came back angry.

Today's plum banquet, the Duchess of Zhenguo naturally received the post, she didn't want to go, but the day after she came back from the Ji family, the emperor ordered Xiao Ning'er to be released!

Whether there is a handiwork of the Ji family in this, the Duchess of Zhenguo is not sure at all!

"Grandpa, the concubine doesn't want to go to that Ji's house to find it, or just ask the eldest daughter-in-law to go on a trip by herself!"

The eldest son of Zhenguo Gong only became a relative in the early summer of this year, and Mrs. Zhenguo Gong Shizi is a gentle and introverted person, basically not out of the door, today's banquet in Jifu, Mrs. Shizi herself is very worried.

"The eldest daughter-in-law is not good at communicating, if you don't follow in person, in case she doesn't speak and offends anyone, it won't be good, besides, the Tingsheng Marquis family is the Ting Sheng Marquis Mrs. Ting Sheng personally took the prince and the granddaughter to go, if you don't go to our Guogong Mansion, wouldn't this seem to pay attention to the Ji Mansion?"

As soon as Zhenguo Gong said this, Zhenguo Gongfu had nothing to say, so he could only set off with his daughter-in-law and daughter.

Another of the most disgusting Guanglu Temple Xie family.

Mrs. Xie was neatly dressed and walked out of her yard all the way with the grandmother beside her.

Xie Yingying trotted over in a few steps, "Grandmother! The Ji family's plum banquet granddaughter is also going! ”

Old Madam Xie frowned when she heard this!

"Old Madam Ji didn't invite you, what are you going to do?"

"I ...... I've heard that the ladies are bringing their ladies with them, grandmother! I also heard that this time the Ji family's plum banquet maybe the eldest princess Lianchun will also go, and the granddaughter will go, if you can make friends with the eldest princess Lianchun, and then enter the palace with the help of the cheap princess Lianchun, it will also give our Xie family a glorious lintel, isn't it? ”

Mrs. Xie listened to Xie Yingying's words, thought about it again, and decided to take her with her.

After getting into the carriage, the grandmother beside Old Madam Xie asked in a low voice, "Didn't the old lady know that the Ji family didn't invite our eldest lady?" Why did you take her to Ji's house with you? ”

"This girl has a big heart, and she wants the glory and wealth in the palace, besides, she is born with the eight characters of the phoenix, and this matter has been known to the whole capital.

If she doesn't enter the palace, I'm afraid no one will dare to marry her. ”

"Alas! Speaking of which, the old lady also loves the eldest lady, and our eldest lady's marriage is ruined in the hands of the eldest lady, if it weren't for the eldest lady who did something wrong, now our eldest lady ......"

"That's it! Don't mention the Lin family again in the future, Yingying has her own creation! ”

When it comes to the Lin family, Mrs. Xie can't help but hate itchy, but she has to force it down, because no matter what, the Lin family is the daughter of the Lin family, if this matter is not handled well, it angers the Lin family, and the Xie family will offend the Lin family at that time!

Even now, her eldest son is still trying to find a way to bring the Lin family back from the family temple!

"Old lady! There is a sentence that the slave and maid don't know whether to say or not! ”

Mama's question made Mrs. Xie look up at her.

"If you really don't think you can say it, you won't open it!"

After getting along with the master and servant for decades, Mrs. Xie naturally understands the thoughts of this grandmother around her!

"After receiving Mrs. Ji's post, the old slave inquired around, and heard that other people's posts indicated that they brought their daughters to participate in this banquet, but your posts did not indicate that you wanted to bring your daughters to the banquet!"

Old Madam Xie couldn't help but close her eyes when she heard this, and it took a long time before she whispered, "Did you inquire about something else?" ”

Hearing this question, Mama was a little afraid to say it.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"Yes! The old slave heard that he also participated in this banquet over there, not only the fifth lady, but also the fifth master, and the son of Xie Xian also followed. ”

"What? It turned out to be a family at the banquet? ”

Old Madam Xie couldn't help but sit up straight, and instinctively felt a little uneasy.

"Yes! The day before yesterday, Xie Xian was released from the prison, and it was only two days after he came out, I heard that he also got Mrs. Wei's blue eyes in the prison, and now he has become Mrs. Wei's closed disciple again, this Ji family invited him, will it be for the sake of Mrs. Wei's face? ”

Old Madam Xie held the Buddha beads in her hand, and she shook them again and again, and only after half a sound did she whisper, "There is indeed something unusual!" After arriving at the Ji family, you are good to inquire and see how many families invited Xie Xian's father and son, why did they come? ”

"Yes!"

The carriage clattered to the gate of Ji's mansion, and at this time it was already full of traffic.

You must know that in the past, the street where Jifu is located is the most deserted, but today, the carriages come in and go out one after another, and many people are forced to get off the car and walk to Jifu before they reach the gate of Jifu.

"Miss, I heard that the seventh son of the Ji family invited a number of young talents to come, you said, your senior brother Xie, did you also come with you?"

Cui'er and her own young lady got out of the car from a distance, and they chatted all the way.

Wei Wei'er thought of Xie Shi, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her cheeks!

"Senior Brother Xie will come, not only Senior Brother Xie, but also Senior Brother Xie's parents, all of them are here together!"

"Ahh How do you know, Miss? I don't even know about this, but you actually know, tell me quickly, you and Mr. Xie Xian, do you have any ulterior secrets? ”

When Cui'er heard Wei Wei'er's words, she was surprised, and hurriedly asked.

Wei Wei'er's little face changed in an instant when she heard this, and she couldn't help glaring at her.

"What did you say? What secrets can I have with him?

Isn't it just that two days ago, when my father said at home that he would accept him as a closed disciple, I asked and he told me. ”

"I see!

However, I heard that Mr. Xie's father had inconvenient legs and feet, and on such a grand occasion as the Ji family, did you say that his father would come? ”

"I will definitely come, I heard that the banquet held by Mrs. Ji today is for Senior Brother Xie's sister Xie Pan'er, it is about his daughter, and the father must also hope that his daughter will be happy!"

"What Miss said makes a lot of sense!"

Wei Wei'er and Cui'er arrived at the gate of the Ji family while talking.

The people who greeted relatives and friends at the door today were Ji Youcheng and his wife.

Don't ask why they are husband and wife, ask is that they are husband and wife in business, so they are the most suitable couple!

"Taifu Mansion, Wei Wei'er!"

Cui'er handed the post to Zhu Xiuxiu, Zhu Xiuxiu glanced at the post and saw that it was correct, and there was a twenty-eight-year-old girl standing in front of her.

The girl was bright and moving, with a smile on her face, "Little girl Wei Weier, I've seen the third lady!" ”

"Miss Wei, please!"

Zhu Xiuxiu hurriedly asked the little maid to lead their master and servant to the banquet.

As soon as the little maid led Wei Wei'er's master and servant to the courtyard, before she arrived at the banquet, Wei Wei'er sounded at the little maid.

"This sister, may I ask which young talents have been invited to this plum banquet?"

The little maid who led the way is an experienced one, and now she leads the way, I don't know how many people have inquired about their seventh and eighth sons!

"The organizer of our Ji Mansion's plum banquet this time is our old lady, but the person who came forward to entertain us is our third lady.

The people invited by the old lady of our family this time are mainly the ladies and ladies of Jingzhong!

Our seventh son also invited some young talents, but we didn't invite a few, and there were only five or six.

The seats for this banquet are arranged in the back garden of the house, and a small area is separated by a screen for the seats of young talents!

Miss Wei, don't go to the wrong seat when the time comes! ”

The little maid introduced the seat meaningfully!

Wei Weier's master and servant naturally understood the meaning of her words!

"Thank you sister for reminding me! May I ask where Mrs. Ji is, Wei'er wants to go and say hello to the old lady! ”

"The old lady is old, and she is baking the fire and enjoying the flowers with a few old ladies in the Hou Ning Xiang Garden, our old lady has instructed, if there is a lady who wants to go over to bake the fire and wait for the banquet to start, let us lead the way!"

"Yo! What a coincidence, let's just be together! Hurry up and lead the way! ”

As soon as the little maid's words fell, the voice of the eldest princess Lianchun came from the side.

"Eldest Princess Lianchun! I've seen Princess Chitose! The little maid hurriedly saluted the eldest princess Lianchun.

"Excuse me! Yu'er, hurry up and lead the way, Pan'er and I will go to the old woman to say hello and go back to the yard to change clothes! ”

The eldest princess Lianchun has also lived in the Ji family for a few days, and she is familiar with the people and things of the Ji family.

Yu'er was not surprised, and hurriedly responded "yes", and took Princess Lianchun, Xie Pan'er and Weiwei'er's master and servant to Ningxiang Garden together!

At this time, in the Ningxiang Garden, the plum blossoms in a courtyard are blooming very well, these plum blossoms are all Ji Laosan spent a lot of money to get temporarily, there is no way, the old lady suddenly wants to hold a banquet, and the beautiful name is to appreciate the plum banquet, he has to find a way to be unfilial!

Mrs. Ji has been away from Beijing for ten years, and although there are not many acquaintances in this capital, there are many of them, such as the old lady of the Xie family she once visited!

There is also the Duchess of Zhenguo who choked with Zhu Xiuxiu in this Ji Mansion a few days ago, and the Marquis of Tingsheng, who is about the same age as Mrs. Ji.

At this moment, they are all sitting in this small courtyard with Mrs. Ji, gossiping together!

"I never thought that your quiet temperament would suddenly make such a big move.

Didn't you go to such great lengths for the marriage of the eighth and seventh princes! ”

Mrs. Tingshenghou sat on the left and right of Mrs. Ji, smiling and taking her words!

Old Madam Ji grinned when she heard this, "I'm really a bit of a big deal today, but I also have a happy event to announce, and I want to invite the big guys to witness one or two." ”

After listening to Mrs. Ji's words, the people present who pricked up their ears couldn't help but prick up their ears even more, and they were puzzled, the happy event of the Ji family?

What will be the happy event that the Ji family is suddenly going to announce at this time?
