After King Qian's Mansion came to Lingnan, this was the first time a banquet was held.

On the day of the banquet, guests gathered.

Wu Yuli took Mrs. Mu and Mu Guangzhen to get out of the carriage at the second gate, and then was led to the banquet hall by the mother-in-law of the palace.

The original ancestral house of the Lou family, now the Qianwang Mansion, covers an extremely wide area, which is convenient for the palace to hold banquets.

Following the mother-in-law all the way, the three generations of the Mou family's daughters have seen the Lingnan garden design, which is simply a pile of gold and jade, what luxury and identity will be planted, there are countless precious flowers and trees, and there are many varieties that even the ancestors and grandchildren of the Mu family can't name.

When they walked to the hospitality hall, the three generations of the Mu family's daughters were already sweating.

In the hall, the hall was full of friends, and everyone in Lingnan who had a little status came.

The ladies of all the houses are mainly sitting on the main seat of Xia Jing, and they can hear a few words of compliment from time to time.

The arrival of the Mu family's daughters was noticed by only a few people.

The lady of the palace is responsible for receiving guests today, and there are new guests arriving, so they naturally notice it as soon as they enter the door.

The Mu family followed the team of King Qian's Mansion all the way to Lingnan, and several ladies had a little impression of them.

The second lady Wen gently pushed the eldest lady Hua, and asked in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, why are the three members of the Mu family here?" Was that your post? ”

The eldest lady Hua naturally also saw the three members of the Mu family, and after listening to the question, she nodded: "Yes, it was my post." ”

"Why did you invite such an unruly person?" The second lady Wen family looks down on this kind of unpopular family, if it is in the capital, a family like the Mu family will give her a grange manager, she will dislike it.

The eldest lady glanced at Xia Jing, who was sitting on the main seat, and leaned into Wen's ear and said, "I'm not looking at the face of the concubine, otherwise with their Mu family, I wouldn't want to come to the banquet in the palace in this life." ”

The three members of the Mu family came up to say goodbye, Xia Jing was not affectionate or cold, and greeted them politely as usual.

Old Madam Tong looked at the three members of the Mu family standing in the middle, turned her head and asked with a smile: "Princess, these three are the daughters of the Mu family, and they look good-eyed." ”

Xia Jing smiled lightly: "The Mu family is originally from Jingzhou, and they came to Lingnan with us, so it's not strange that Mrs. Tong doesn't know her." ”

Old Madam Tong nodded with a smile, her eyes still wandering over the Mu family.

Chen listened to Wu Yuli's words, looked at her in surprise, and then looked at Xia Jing: "Jing'er, I heard this lady speak with an accent a bit like a Yanzhou accent, and why do I look at her a little kind?" ”

Xia Jing smiled helplessly: "Mother, Mrs. Mu is from Yanzhou, a girl from the Wu family in our county seat, and she also went to our house as a guest before she got married." ”

"Oh!" Chen laughed, "I didn't expect to meet Yanzhou villagers in Lingnan, the daughter of the Wu family will quickly bring your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to our side." ”

The eldest lady originally wanted to stop it, but the position arranged by the ladies of the Mu family was at the back, and they were not qualified to sit in the front row in this capacity.

But her reaction was not as fast as the daughter of the Mu family, and before she could speak, Wu Yuli had already walked to the Xia family's position with a smile.

She saluted Chen, "Does Old Madam Xia remember me?" When I went to your house to play, we were still little girls, and in a blink of an eye, the children have reached the age where they can be said to be close, and the old lady has been good in recent years? ”

"Okay, okay, okay, don't stand, let's sit down and talk." Chen said with a smile.

Old Madam Tong coughed lightly and said to Xia Jing: "This little girl of the Mu family is a good color, and the eldest lady of the Mu family is blessed." ”

When Wu Yuli heard this, the smile on her face froze, "Mrs. Tong has won the award, she is a little girl who is better at a young and tender age, and she looks good at anyone if she dresses up a little!" ”

Old Madam Tong smiled and turned to Xia Jing: "Princess, let these little girls go to the garden to play, the weather is good today, and it is really difficult for them to let them spend their time here with our elders." ”

Xia Jing supported her chin with one hand, bored, listened to Mrs. Tong's words, and waved her hand, "Go, go, Xiao San will take care of the guests." ”

The junior in her mouth, this junior is not the other junior, but the third girl Li Yuzhu in the second room of the palace.

"Yes, Ancestor."

Li Yuzhu gave a salute and led a group of girls to the garden outside with a smile.

In ancient times, there was no entertainment, Xia Jing sat on the top and listened to the chats of the ladies of the various provinces below, and also listened to all kinds of gossip, which was fun.

When everyone is tired of sitting, let the eldest lady lead everyone to the garden for a walk or go to the garden to listen to the play.

The opera troupe invited in Lingnan, because the singing is in the Lingnan dialect, Xia Jing was not interested in ancient operas, and now she can't understand the Lingnan dialect, so she is even less interested in listening.

So, when the guests went to the garden with the ladies of the palace, Xia Jing led the maids to a loft in the garden to rest.

I sat for more than an hour, not to mention my back pain, I was really tired.

"It's still comfortable to lie on the soft couch!" Xia Jing entered the attic and half lay on the soft couch, waiting for the maids.

"Princess, there are a lot of ladies from all the provinces here today, and many of them have good family backgrounds and good looks." Red plum looks down at the garden below from the window.

The ladies from all over the garden were in groups of three or five, but they had a good time.

Xia Jing leaned lazily on the soft couch and raised her eyes to look at her, "Well, it's a little eye-catching." ”

Hongmei asked tentatively, "Princess, you don't have any ideas?" ”

Xia Jing looked at her inexplicably, "What do I have in mind?" ”

Bai Mei stood next to her and fanned, and after listening to Xia Jing's inexplicable rhetorical question, she couldn't help laughing, "Princess, Hongmei should mean to ask if you have a favorite daughter-in-law candidate?" ”

"Poof" Xia Jing glanced at her helplessly, "I said that you are not a young girl, but you are the heart of an old mother, and you are really not wrong, don't worry about Xiao Wu's marriage." ”

Hongmei looked outside and closed her mouth very interestingly.

At this time, Bai Mei was interested again, and asked, "Princess, don't you really want to hug your grandson early?" ”

Xia Jing glanced at her and replied to her firmly: "I don't want to!" ”

Bai Mei shook her fan, her eyes kept staring out of the window, and at this time, a group of young men and brothers came from the east in the garden, and looking at the path they walked, it should be for the girls who came to the house today.

"Princess, I heard that there are a lot of young talents in the East Courtyard today, and I don't know what the prince thinks?"

These words attracted Xia Jing's attention, and she turned her head to look at Bai Mei, "What do you see the prince?" Who does he help each other? ”

White Plum and Red Plum glanced at each other.

After a while, Bai Mei asked, "Princess, you don't know about this?" Of course, the prince is helping the three girls to see each other, and it is rare for the palace to hold a banquet, and the second lady asks the prince to help her pay attention to the young masters of each mansion. If there is a suitable one, it should be further understood. ”

Xia Jing listened to it and suddenly realized that the third girl in the second room is already in the cardamom years this year, which is the best age to look at others, and it is right for the second lady to worry about her marriage.

To tell the truth, she really hasn't seen a few young talents in Lingnan.

So, Xia Jing leaned on the window and looked down, and a group of young masters came to this garden surrounded by slaves.

Xia Jing pointed to a young man who was walking in front of him, and asked with interest, "Who is the boy in the blue robe?" ”

Hongmei leaned to the window, looked at the situation below, and replied: "That is the eldest son of Xiang Zongbing, Xiang Yiping." ”

"Oh, he's good-looking, and he's tall enough, but he's too thin."

Xia Jing pointed to another person, "Who is the one who walked beside the eldest young master of the Tong family?" ”

Bai Mei looked at the person she was pointing at and replied, "The one next to the eldest young master of the Tong family is the second son of Lord Niu, the chief soldier of Jieyang, and it seems that his name is Niu Yongcheng." ”

Xia Jing listened to the introduction and shook her head: "This person walks with vain steps, and at first glance, he knows that he is overindulgent, and he doesn't know how many women he has had at a young age?" ”

When the two little maids heard this, their little faces were so red that they gave them an omelette.

"The one who walks behind, the one in the moon-white robe, the one who smells of books, is it the son of a civil official, or the son of a family?"

Xia Jing has just scanned it with her ability, this son's temperament is dusty, and his breath feels really clean!

It's not at all comparable to Niu Yongcheng's kind of person, the former should be a clean man.

Before the banquet, Hongmei and Baimei did their homework, and they could really answer Xia Jing's question at this time.

Hongmei opened her mouth and replied: "Whose son is this, princess, you definitely can't imagine whose family he is?" ”

"Oh, whose family?" Xia Jing had already looked at him with his ability, and at this time, he thought back to him about who among the people he knew who looked like the people under the attic.

For a while, I really couldn't think of who I was like.

"The son of the Sima family."

"Who?" Xia Jing was stunned.

Hongmei said again, "Sima Lu's son! ”

Xia Jing suppressed the shock in her heart, and looked at the man in the garden below seriously, it was really a little similar to Sima Lu.

It's just that at first, she didn't associate the person in front of her with the Sima Runa bandits.

In the garden.

Sima Yi fell behind the crowd and walked unhurriedly.

His little servants were all anxious for him, "Young Master, you can't be more active, try to please the girls, maybe you may even capture the heart of the third lady of the palace." If the third lady takes a fancy to you, then the future of Sima Mansion is limitless! ”

When Sima Yi heard this, he laughed at himself: "Only you are a treasure for me, and in the eyes of outsiders, my son-in-law may not even be as good as a third-rate family in Lingnan, what does the third lady like about me?" Like my bandit background? Do you still like the gangsterism I brought out? ”

The little guy doesn't like to listen to the young master depreciating himself, "Young master, don't be presumptuous, that's because they don't understand the young master, except for growing up in the mountains, you are no worse than others in other aspects, the master has let you study with Mr. since you were a child, and your efforts over the years have not been in vain." ”

Sima Yi sneered: "That's just what you think!" ”

The little guy found that his young master, since he came down the mountain to Fucheng, his mind is very sensitive, and he cares most about not saying that he is a bandit.

"Young master, the master is now a general, and you are now also the son of an official family, and your status is stronger than at least a small number of people present."

Sima Yi shook his head and didn't pay attention to the little guy anymore, but his eyes were casually looking at this extravagant garden.

"Princess, Second Master Lan asks to see you."

Xia Jing was lying on the window, looking at the scene downstairs and looking at it intently, when she was interrupted by Hongmei.

She turned back and said, "Lead him up." ”

Lan Jian climbed up to the three-story attic and saluted Xia Jing with a fist, "I've seen the princess." ”

"Second Master Lan is here with his family today?" Before Lan Jian came in, Xia Jing had already sat up straight, and she was serious.

Lan Jian smiled and nodded, "It's rare for the palace to hold a banquet, and the Lan family is honored to receive a post from the palace, how can they not come to participate." ”

Xia Jing smiled and said nothing, just listen to this kind of thing.

Seeing that the princess didn't take this stubble, Lan Jian pursed his lips and said, "I still have something to report to when I come over today." ”

"Say it." Xia Jing had long expected that he would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.

Lan Jian coughed lightly: "Our Lan family's shipyard has been working hard for several days, and three sea ships have been completed. These three seagoing boats were originally booked by other guests, but we communicated with them, and they knew that you had purchased the boat and gave you the right of first use. ”

Xia Jing didn't expect that there were surprises waiting for her, "Really? Are these companies voluntary? ”

She wanted to build a warship at sea, which was a much-needed means of transportation, and if someone was willing to give her priority in the ship she had booked, it would save her a lot of time and allow her to do more.

Lan Jian smiled: "It's all voluntary!" Please rest assured that the princess will be able to do this! ”

"I have written down their affection, and I will definitely repay it when I have the opportunity in the future."

In the garden.

Mu Guangzhen looked at the girls in front of him who were dressed like flowers and butterflies, and she didn't know how many times she rolled her eyes.

"It's all a bunch of superficial women!"

The little maid who followed her didn't hear her clearly, so she took two steps and asked, "Girl, what did you just say?" ”

Mu Guangzhen found a chair and sat down, and said angrily: "It's nothing." ”

The little maid didn't know what she was thinking, and she didn't care about her tone, and when she saw her sitting alone, she encouraged: "Girl, the slave maid sees that those young ladies are very easy to get along with, do you want to get up and talk to them?" ”

Mu Guangzhen looked around left and right, listened to the maid's words, and refused: "I'm not familiar with them again, you don't embarrass me when you sit together!" ”

Little maid: "."

"Then the young talents over there are also good, Miss can take advantage of this banquet to contact them, maybe she can meet her heart."

Mu Guangzhen only raised his eyelids, and still refused: "It's all little white faces, chatting with them is a waste of tongue." ”

The little maid felt that she couldn't continue to talk this day, "If you don't take the initiative to contact young talents, is the girl just letting the house arrange your marriage?" ”

Mu Guangzhen glanced at the little maid contemptuously, "Do you think I'm the one who sits still?" My father is the eldest son of the long house, and as his eldest daughter, those ghosts and ghosts in the mansion have no power to decide my life's affairs! ”

The little maid felt that the girl could not recognize the situation clearly, so she reminded: "What if it is the old lady and the old lady who arrange your marriage?" ”

As the head of the Mu family and her grandfather, if she wanted to arrange the girl's family affairs, would she resist.

The little maid reminded her that she just hoped that her girl would not be too naïve!
