Chapter 384: Going to the Banquet

At dinner in the evening, the whole family was there, and Zhou Yu told his family about the post sent by Cao Fu today.

"Well, Cao Ge is always the head of Wenchen, and our family should go to his sixtieth birthday."

Zhou Bang nodded in agreement, Zhou Yan is already accustomed to his father's dog legs, as long as it is said by his sister, it must be another way to say that he will not go to his father.

But he just slandered his father in his heart, and where could he get better, it wasn't the same virtue as his father.

"It's just that our family should give some gifts then."

When it comes to gift-giving, the family really has no experience, and in the end, they all looked at Zhou Yan.

Here, if you want to say that you are the most experienced in gift-giving, it will be a few weeks strict.

And Zhou Yan did not disappoint his family.

"Leave this matter to me, you don't have to worry about it."

Hearing that Zhou Yan took over the job, the husband and wife were relieved, they really didn't understand what was being sent to usher.

As for Zhou Yu, it's not that she doesn't understand, it's just that she has a place to rely on and who wants to use her brains and thoughts.

The gift was handed over to Zhou Yan, and the clothes for a family of four to go to the banquet did not have to bother, the embroidery room in the house would make new styles of clothes for the family every season, but the clothes were too cumbersome and not very convenient to wear and work, so the embroidery workshop of the county king's mansion was only for each family of four to make two bodies, in order to prevent things like going to the banquet from happening.

And because there is less work, the people in the embroidery room are afraid that the master above will think that they have more people and less to do, so in the few clothes made for the family every season, it can be said that they have hollowed out their minds, and the clothes made are no worse than those made in the outside show.

As for Jinjia Village, the family still wears clothes made by the Lian family, and the family is used to wearing the clothes made by the Lian family when they work.

Three days is neither long nor short, and it will arrive in the blink of an eye.

Early in the morning, after the family of four packed up, they got into a carriage and went to Caofu.

When the carriage of the county king's mansion arrived on the street not far from Cao's mansion, they saw that there was already a long queue of carriages in front of them, and it seemed that they would have a long time before they did.

A family of four sat in the carriage chatting and eating snacks, who knows if they can eat it later, at this time they will eat some at the bottom, and the family feels that it is very necessary.

This is still the experience summed up by the family when the family held a banquet at home last time, because the last time their family held a banquet, not all the people who went to the banquet did not eat.

Of course, like the last time their family held a banquet, Kyoto City couldn't go out once in a few years, and when it finally got to their house, the family got out of the carriage and came to the door, took out a post to identify themselves, and then sent the congratulatory gifts they brought.

Zhou Yan picked a painting, from the hand of a big man in the previous dynasty, although that big guy is not famous, but he has heard people talk about it, Cao Ge Lao likes that everyone's painting style.

So after his sister told him about the gift, he thought of this painting, which he accidentally got when he went out for a walk a few years ago, and very few people knew about it, and he didn't spend much silver at that time, only a hundred and ten taels of silver.

But now that the painting has risen to three hundred taels, and when it is used as a gift, Zhou Yan feels that it is almost the same.

It's just that his identity has changed now, if he was in the Bai family before, Zhou Yan could participate in Cao Ge Lao's birthday banquet, and the gift he picked would start at least two thousand taels, this is the difference in identity.

In fact, most of the gifts given by the courtiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty are not valuable, if you give them too much, let those imperial historians know, how to explain to them the origin of the money.

Although most of the mansions have their own Zhuangzi shops, business is not so easy to do in these years, and the people who are officials generally do not do much business, so there are really not many mansions that can make a lot of money.

Like today's Cao Ge Lao's birthday banquet, most of the courtiers' gifts are also between a few hundred taels, and those who are close to them can exceed a thousand taels, except for those merchants, gifts start at a few thousand taels, which is also a tacit thing in the officialdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The painting sent by the prince of Anping County was in the hands of the steward who received the gift on the side, and the tube was opened and checked in advance to make sure that it was genuine and then chanted at the door.

"Anping County Wangfu sends, a painting."

Then the father and son were led to the front yard by the little maid, and the mother and daughter were led to the backyard by the maid.

The family didn't come early, so when the mother and daughter came to the backyard, they saw a lot of ladies and ladies sitting or standing in the backyard garden.

The maid led the man to the gate of the garden, and bowed and withdrew.

The mother and daughter went into the garden, and as far as the eye could see, neither of them knew anyone.

However, it doesn't matter if the mother and daughter don't know others, most of the people here know the mother and daughter.

As soon as the two entered, whispers were heard in many places.

"Hey, look, that's not the princess of Anping County and the county lord of Jiahe, why are they here today?"

"You don't take a look, this is Cao Ge's sixtieth birthday, and whoever dares not to come to Cao's next post, even a few princes have to give Cao Ge Lao face."

"That's right, in this way, the Anping Junwang family is also a generation that tends to be inflammatory, so don't come if you have the ability."

Such a conversation sounded in many corners, Zhou Yu just looked at their expressions, and could guess what they said, this person has the most right and wrong, and she can't sew their mouths one by one, how to say what she likes.

Zhou Yu took her mother to sit down quietly, planning to take a look first, as for talking to other ladies and ladies, neither mother nor daughter was that interested.

For them, the ladies and ladies present here are not as important as the work in the fields, and if it weren't for the Cao Mansion to give them a post, they would really not want to come.

With that effort, it's better to do more work at home.

Anyway, the mother and daughter just had a mentality, and they left after eating the feast.

But just because the mother and daughter don't go to someone else doesn't mean that others won't come to them.

Not long after the two of them sat down, a lady led a girl of half a size towards the mother and daughter.

"County princess, county lord, why are you here, don't you go over there to chat with the ladies of the families?"

As soon as the woman came, she looked like she was familiar with herself, but the mother and daughter didn't buy her account, they all looked at her.

"You are?"

The woman was slightly annoyed by the mother and daughter, so she reported to her home.

"Haha, it's normal that you don't know me, my master is Liu Yuanzheng from Tai Hospital."

Then the woman took the little girl beside her, and pulled her to her.

"This is my little daughter Liu Tingting, Tingting, I haven't seen the princess of the county and the county lord yet."

The little girl was about ten years old, and she hid behind Mrs. Liu with a timid look, but she didn't come forward, and Mrs. Liu was embarrassed and had to explain herself.

"This girl in my family is a little recognizable, and I hope the two of you don't want to be surprised."
