The chrysanthemum feast has begun!

The chrysanthemum banquet is a blind date banquet specially organized by Princess Jingping for Ning Xiaohou.

Ning Xiaohou's status is not low, it is said that he is dignified, and the Ning family has great military achievements, there are too many people who want to marry this family, and not everyone can get Princess Jingping's post.

Qiao Wan was able to go to the princess's mansion with her mother Yue to participate in the chrysanthemum banquet, and her heart was indescribable.

Qiao Wan's father, Qiao Lian, was originally a two-rank jinshi and was sent as an official. Within a few years, Qiao Lian was promoted from the prefect of Nei'an to the governor. His father was an official and diligent and had good political achievements. Later, he returned to Dong'an City and joined the Ministry of Industry as a clerk, and then entered the Ministry of Officials as the right waiter, which was deeply valued by Ning Yi.

This year, he was recommended by Ning Yi to become the governor of Dong'an City.

My father is only more than fifty this year, and it is not easy to be the capital of the government, according to my father's words, Quan Shangshu was promoted.

Qiao Wan is Qiao Lian's youngest daughter, pampered since she was a child, and began to go to women's school when she was a child.

She is sixteen years old and has never been married.

Her mother has never arranged a marriage for her, and her intention is very clear, that is, she wants her to marry into a high family.

After his father was promoted to the governor of the capital, he begged his mother for his life. A few months ago, her mother took her into the palace to thank her.

In the queen's Yanfu Palace, I happened to meet the eldest princess Jingping.

The eldest princess took a fancy to her and felt that she was dignified and gentle. Although the eldest princess didn't say anything, everyone knew her name, not to mention that the eldest princess's eldest son and second son were close to marriageable age, and Ning Xiaohou, who had just returned from Snow Wolf City, was almost twenty years old and was going to choose a wife for him.

"If you can marry Ning Xiaohou, it will really be a great blessing. The little marquis now supports a house alone, there are no elders in the house, he has a single family, and he doesn't have to stand up for the rules to wait for his in-laws. Although there are still the eldest princess and Ning Shangshu, but in the end they are not in the same mansion, I heard that the little marquis's mansion is clean, and there is no connecting room, if you marry it, it will be a fairy day. Mother's words were still in Qiao Wan's ears.

"Today's chrysanthemum banquet is a blind date banquet arranged by the eldest princess for the little marquis, although there are also noble daughters from Beppu coming over, but in my opinion, the eldest princess's favorite is you. As long as the little marquis can like you, this will be done. ”

On the way here, my mother said so.

So when she entered the princess's mansion, Qiao Wan worked hard and strived to be perfect everywhere.

The competition for the position of Mrs. Hou is quite fierce, and as long as the nobles and daughters of the family are over fourteen years old, they all want to come to the princess's mansion to enjoy the chrysanthemum banquet.

When Qiao Wan followed her mother all the way to the Meizhu Flower Hall in the princess's mansion, she saw the nobles who were the same age as herself, or even younger than herself, all dressed up carefully, ready to show off their eighteen talents to win the princess's attention.

The Yue family and Qiao Wan are still different among these ladies and nobles, Qiao Lian is a practical and capable minister, and he is valued by the Son of Heaven and Ning Yi. Ning Yi would praise Qiao Lian a few words in front of Jingping, and Jingping naturally treated the mother and daughter differently.

They asked for peace, and Jingping took Qiao Wan's hand and smiled, "Mrs. Yue teaches her daughter well, Miss Qiao is so good, and her temperament is so good, she is really likable." ”

"Princess, don't praise her, now Princess Roujia and Princess Changle are here, and Wan'er is in front of the two princesses, a thousand miles apart." Yue's Road.

"Why do you say that, Mrs. Yue, I think Miss Qiao is gentle and gentle, and she is as her name suggests." Bai laughed.
