Chapter 152: Fanghuayuan Prince's Banquet
On the fourth day of the lunar month, the ladies of Xuanzhou City dressed up and went to the banquet of the prince of Fanghuayuan.
The carriage of the Lin family stopped outside the main gate of Fanghuayuan, the door opened, and Lin Ruyu got out of the carriage in the cold wind, facing Shen Ge's smiling face like the warm sun of Sanchun, and couldn't help laughing.
After Shen Ge helped his fiancée get out of the car, he raised his hand to help his mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, and the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became, and after getting out of the car, Fang's asked gently, "You have already arrived?"
Shen Ge replied respectfully, "The son-in-law only arrived early for a cup of tea. As soon as the aunt of the Zhao family entered, she could see them when she entered."
Fang nodded, took his daughter and son-in-law inside, and sure enough, he saw that his friend who had not gone far was waiting for her in front.
Lin Ruyu, who was wearing a light pink satin cloak, and Shen Ge, who was wearing a light blue silk forging robe, stood together, they were really a pair of pleasing people, and Mrs. Zhao praised them repeatedly.
The girls from various prefectures looked at Shen Ge, and the young men looked at Lin Ruyu, some of them were red and hot, and some of them were angry.
Zhang Zhisheng of Aunt Lin's family walked up to Lin Ruyu and glared at Shen Ge, and said in a strange manner, "The Shen Dong family has also received an invitation from the prince?"
Zhang Zhisheng's friend Song Mingwei immediately followed, "The prince invited the family who had donated money and materials to the people of Sanzhou this time, what did the Shen Dong family donate to the people of Sanzhou?"
Before Shen Ge could speak, Lin Ruyu choked back, "Why is my cousin embarrassed for my fiancé in public? Did I offend you somewhere, or did my Lin family donate enough money to let my family go to the banquet together?"
Lin Ruyu's words made Zhang Zhisheng almost out of breath, and his face was red.
Seeing that Zhang Zhisheng stopped talking, Lin Ruyu didn't even give Song Mingwei of the Song family, a medicine dealer, and helped his mother into Fanghua Garden.
Looking at Shen Ge who was smiling like a little fool beside him, Fang didn't say anything, and Mrs. Zhao couldn't help laughing.
Second Master Lin couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward and pulled Shen Ge to his side.
Lin Ruyu glanced back, and when she turned around, she was facing Zhao Jinran's aggrieved gaze. Lin Ruyu then remembered that Zhao Jinran liked Shen Ge.
Zhao Jinran saw that Lin Ruyu finally saw him, puffed up his cheeks and leaned up, blocking between Lin Ruyu and Shen Ge.
I let you see, but you can't see it!
Her childish behavior directly made Lin Ruyu laugh.
Fang Shi saw that his daughter was happy, and he also smiled.
The Lin family's mother and daughter are very good-looking, as soon as they entered the plum garden, He Jiongming saw them, and then was stabbed by their smiles. I can't wait for someone to drag Shen Ge out and behead him immediately.
Xuanzhou Taishou saw that He Jiongming was looking at Shen Ge with unkind eyes, and he believed a little more that He Jiongming was fake An Ziyuan.
After Fang's self-report, He Jiongming said gently, "Mrs. Lin has made great contributions to providing medicine, grain, and fields to help the people affected by the disaster in the three states, and my father will thank Mrs. Xie for the people of the three states."
After saying that, He Jiongming got up and raised his hand and gave Fang's deep salute.
The prince's worship is not only for the Lin family, but also for the guests in the garden and the people of Sanzhou.
Fang's raised his hand and returned the salute, and calmly responded, "Long live the people of Sanzhou, the officials of Taishou and Xuanzhou worked hard day and night for disaster relief, and everything the Lin family did was in response to the imperial court. Therefore, the son of the world, you worship this time, and the women are really ashamed."
If you want to thank you, go to Xie Banzai, Xie Taishou, and Xie the officials of the three states who have worked hard for disaster relief.
He shouldn't have been merciful and let Lin Fang's family return to Xuanzhou alive! The fierceness on He Jiongming's face flashed, and when he raised his eyes, he was still gentle, "Mrs. Lin is reasonable. After this feast, this prince will send the thanksgiving book to Xingyang and present it to the royal review."
Zhu Taishou immediately said, "The idea of the Thanksgiving Book of All Citizens is excellent, and the lower officials asked Mr. Shi Qiqing, the first hermit in the six states, to write this book, do you think it is good?"
He said it was a book of gratitude to all the people?! But when it comes to this, what else can He Jiongming say, he can only nod, "Okay."
The guests offered their ideas. qs
This said, "Wusha Town has also been flooded, so it is fitting to ask Mr. Dongzhu to write a letter of gratitude to all people."
That way
"In my opinion, it's better to use the Lin family's one-zhang-long dyed fine silk to make a canvas, ask Mr. Songmian to paint, Mr. Dongzhu to inscribe poems, let's press the handprint on it."
The children of the family also felt that this was very elegant, "The handprints are integrated into the painting, and it is better to be integrated with the painting."
Zhu Taifu also nodded frequently, "Shizi, do you think it's okay?"
How can He Jiongming say nothing, "This can not only express the gratitude of the people to Banzai, but also let Banzai know that we have talents in the six states of the Yangtze River, which is very good."
Raising his eyes, he saw that the smile on He Jiongming's face was getting more and more fake, and Lin Ruyu was very happy.
You took Mr. Dongzhu and wanted him to write a letter for your father and son, but in the end, Mr. Dongzhu put pen to paper and wrote a letter of gratitude from all the people to thank Tian.
I'll ask you if you bet in your heart!
He Jiongming, who was uncomfortable, didn't want to listen to these foolish people anymore, so he directly ordered someone to hold a banquet.
The banquet was divided into men and women, and the female dependents were invited to sit in the private room behind the Lamei Pavilion.
"But I'm freezing to death, and I have to eat two glasses of wine on such a cold day to get warm." As soon as Lin Ruyu sat down, Zhang Yuzhen came to her side, poured her a full glass of wine, and then said pitifully, "Cousin, can you eat two glasses with me?"
Eat you big-headed ghost!
Lin Ruyu raised her hand, revealing the delicate copper stove in her hand, "I'm dressed warmly, I'm about to sweat, but I don't dare to eat or drink."
Zhang Yuzhen looked at the copper stove, her eyes were red, "Cousin lent me the hand stove to cover her hands, and I will return it to you when it warms up."
Song Xiuying, who had been slapped by Lin Ruyu, snorted, "It's so hot that I'm going to sweat, and I'm reluctant to lend the hand stove to my cousin who is close to my cousin......
Before Song Xiuying finished speaking, she was frightened by Lin Ruyu's eyes, and turned her head to whisper to the people around her with a cold snort.
Lin Ruyu handed the hand warmer to Zhang Yuzhen's eyes, and when she stretched out her hand, she said, "I didn't know that my cousin wouldn't bring a hand stove today, so I put a few pieces of cinnamon in the hand stove."
As soon as she heard that there were cinnamon chips, Zhang Yuzhen immediately retracted her hand. The spices she uses to make cinnamon make her skin itch and cause small red bumps, Lin Ruyu must have deliberately wanted her to be embarrassed in front of the world!
Lin Ruyu, of course, did it on purpose.
She put the stove back into her sleeve, took out a small packet of sesame halva from her sleeve pocket, and listened to the girls at the same table whispering about how good An Wang Shizi looked, how modest his attitude was, and how beautiful he smiled.
"Sister Ruyu, why don't you speak?" Zhao Jinran approached Lin Ruyu's side and asked crisply.
Lin Ruyu handed her a piece of sesame halva, "I'm already engaged."
It is indeed inappropriate for a girl who is already engaged to talk about the man next to her in front of others. Zhao Jinran took a bite of sesame halva fiercely, and snorted angrily, "What about the handsome son of King An, he is only three years younger than my father!"
The prince of King An is not only old, but his appearance is also a lot worse than Shen Gelai. Thinking that Shen Ge had already been engaged to Lin Ruyu, the more Zhao Jinran thought about it, the more unpleasant it became, so he simply snatched the sugar bag in Lin Ruyu's hand and stuffed it into his sleeve pocket.
Lin Ruyu took out a bag of dim sum from the cuff and ate it slowly.
In the Lamei Pavilion, a local businessman from Xuanzhou City came to Shen Ge's side, "Shen Dong's family, my family has a family heirloom that has been passed down for four generations, I don't know when the Shen Dong family will be free, help us palm our eyes."
