Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 369 A Feast of Hundred Flowers ([-])

Eunuch Shen is the one who went to Huawang City to proclaim the decree, and now he has been promoted to the deputy chief of the internal affairs. Together with his master Duan, he is responsible for the external affairs such as the promulgation of the decree by His Majesty the Lord, and is responsible for serving the Lord's clothing, food and internal affairs. He is the second person among all the eunuchs in the palace, and he is very familiar with all the guard officials in the hall.

At this time, he looked around, smiled and cupped his hands and said, "My lords, I'm not going to show my respects to the adults because I'm on business." Everyone hurriedly said that they dared not.

He shook off the floating dust in his hands, put his arms around his arms, and shouted loudly, "His Majesty's word of mouth!"

Mu Ai pondered for a moment, and sighed inwardly, as a minister, she must abide by the way of being a minister. From the day when she was crowned the title of prince, she can no longer just be a worldly expert who does not kneel when she sees the king.

Stepping forward a few steps, he replied in a deep voice, "Master Muxian accepts the order." After speaking, he slowly knelt down on the bright red carpet, bowing his head and waiting.

Eunuch Shen praised secretly in his heart, he was the little eunuch who had heard the decree announced by Banyue Mountain that day. At that time, the fairy lady did not kneel in front of the king, and His Majesty did not blame her. Today, she knelt down to accept the decree in front of all the guests. A woman who can bend and stretch, and knows current affairs very well.

"His Majesty said that today is the day of the feast for Mrs. Immortal. Special rewards include a pair of golden lotus crab hairpins, a pair of Jinsongling birthday hairpins, a set of coral beads, a set of bluestone beads, a set of honey wax beads, and a set of turquoise beads. Plates, ten pieces of gold, ten pieces of python satin, six pieces of large rolls of glittery satin, and six rolls of small rolls of glittery satin. To show your kindness, I respect you!"

"Thank you, Lord Mu Xian, for your kindness!" Mu Ai kowtowed, then stood up and straightened her skirt, and said softly, "Thank you, Eunuch Shen, for making this trip. If the palace is not busy, why don't you stay for a glass of water and wine?"

Eunuch Shen waved his hands with a smile, "His Royal Highness, you are not busy drinking, there are still rewards from the empress dowager and the empresses of the palaces that have not been read out!"

Mu Ai was taken aback for a moment, thinking carefully that the women in the harem might have finished drinking the honey. Today they took the opportunity to support themselves, and in the future, the honey will be sent in continuously, so that Kao's The bee farm has increased to one hundred boxes, and there is no shortage of these cans.So she bowed her head and saluted, "The Muxian family accepts the Queen Mother's order!"

Eunuch Shen took out a bright red gift list from his bosom, and read again, "The Empress Dowager rewards four pieces of palace satin and plain snow silk, four pieces of feather gauze, a pair of butterfly hairpins inlaid with pearls and stones inlaid with gold, and jade crab hairpins inlaid with gold and precious stones. The empress The empress will reward two brocades with epiphyllum and rain, and two brocades with peony patterns and Huanhua flowers. Concubine Shu will reward..."

After reading out the long list of rewards, Mu Ai thanked her again, took the list with both hands and handed it to Chun Equinox behind her.Eunuch Shen stepped aside, and a dozen or so young eunuchs outside the door held shining pearls and jade in both hands, and gorgeous cloths entered the hall one after another.

Mu Ai waved a hand and put out a long carved sandalwood case, and the little eunuchs hurried forward and put it away respectfully.

At this moment, the second prince also stepped forward to greet Mu Ai as a junior. Mu Ai did not pretend to dodge, but helped him up, and then called Simba and Dayu to accompany him to sit in the backyard.

Everyone in the hall looked at the full rewards on the table and the backs of the two princes, with mixed feelings in their hearts, but they all smiled and said congratulations.Eunuch Shen pushed that there was something in the palace and he refused to stay for a drink, Wei Guang Dai Muai sent him out, stuffed two hundred taels of silver bills, and asked Mu Wu to bring two jars of good wine and a few boxes of good snacks , and let Eunuch Shen go out happily.

Mu Ai still had the women's family in the backyard to move around, so she didn't stay any longer, and after a few polite words with everyone, she led Chun Equinox and the others back out.

Xiao Heng signaled the servant to pour the wine again, then pointed to the blue and white porcelain altar and said with a smile, "The wine in this altar is called Hongchenzui. It is brewed with purple jade grapes and a magical spring water, and buried in a cold place. For three years, it tastes sweet and sour, with a mellow and long-lasting taste. It is really a good wine in the world. Although the official is the brother-in-law of His Royal Highness, he has only drank it twice. Today, after being honored by all the adults, he can drink it to his heart's content gone."

Someone who was acquainted with him on weekdays joked loudly, "Then Uncle Xiao will set up a table in Xiankelou some other day, so please invite us to have another night of drinking."

Xiao Heng laughed loudly, and agreed, "Okay, but the dishes in my Xiankelou are not as good as those in His Royal Highness's place."

Everyone was a little dubious, but at this time the servants brought steaming hot dishes, the dishes were exquisite and novel, and the taste was so delicious that they immediately believed them completely.

Xiao Heng and Wei Guang hurriedly greeted everyone to move their chopsticks, and poured wine in front of several family elders.

Similarly, the women's banquet in the backyard is also very lively, delicious food can always easily make people happy, there is the lady who likes cooking on weekdays, picking up the small and delicate snacks on the plate with a happy face, can't wait to take a look It can be seen that the method and ingredients are good, and those sweet and novel fruits made the crowd half-full before the table started.

When Mu Ai came in, everyone was sharing a large plate of lychees. The purple-red fruits were piled up on the white jade-like porcelain plate, which was really beautiful and dazzling. The little girls washed their hands, peeled off the shell, and put the white flesh inside into the small lychees. In the dish, the masters just put it into the mouth, spit out the small nuclei, and praised it so sweet.

Hearing the little girl's announcement, everyone got up together. Unlike the male guests in the outer court, although they and Mu Ai are both women, their grades are obtained from their husbands or children and grandchildren, and they are vassals, while Mu Ai is a real deal. The prince's title is three points more expensive than most men, so no one dares to sit still.

Mu Ai entered the Flower Hall, and all the women saluted together, "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince."

Mu Ai nodded slightly, walked up to Mrs. Wei who was seated first, helped her up with her own hands, and then said in a gentle voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, please sit down."

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!" The women thanked each other before sitting down.

Mrs. Wei pulled Mu Ai to sit on the low couch in the main seat, and said with a smile, "I heard from the little girls, Your Majesty's reward has arrived?"

"It's here, the empress dowager and all the ladies have rewarded things."

"That's good. Come on, you're new to Huadu, and you like to be quiet. These ladies don't know each other. Let me introduce you." The old lady smiled and introduced the half-centenarian women who were seated next to her. Mu Ai seemed to accept the prince's majesty in an instant, and politely got up and performed the junior salute, which made the old ladies dare not even say it, but was very happy in their hearts.

For the rest of the female family members, the two wives of the Wei family took over the conversation. When it was Madam Sun's mother and daughter's turn, Mu Ai saw her excited face, and then suddenly remembered that it was the mother and daughter who were rescued that night, so she slightly Nodding, Mrs. Sun is not a fool, she quickly covered her face and saluted respectfully.

After a round of formalities, a quarter of an hour passed, Liniang came back from the kitchen, and all the wives were seated at the table, Mu Ai thought for a while and brought out a jar of pineapple wine and a jar of hawthorn wine from the space.Although the girls seemed to be joking and chatting, they were actually looking at her out of the corners of their eyes. Suddenly seeing such a scene of taking things out of thin air, they were so shocked that they covered their mouths with handkerchiefs.

Xi Fu hurriedly took the little girl, poured the wine from the jar into the jug and distributed it to each table.Mu Ai smiled and said to Mrs. Wei, "Madam, I have several jars of fruit wine here, among them is the one called Chixialu, which can eliminate stagnation, invigorate the spleen and appetizer. How many jars will you drink in a while? cup?"

"Okay, okay, I knew you must have something good here. As soon as I heard about the banquet, Baba came here. If I don't drink two more glasses, I'm sorry for my old arms and legs."

Everyone chatted and laughed, and cold dishes and hot dishes were brought up one by one. The female relatives took a few sips at the beginning, and then immediately fell in love with the taste of fruit wine. The light red hawthorn wine is sour, and the light yellow pineapple wine Sweet, really rare wine.

So, with the novel and delicious dishes and a few glasses of fine wine, the smiles on everyone's faces became sincere.

Mu Ai sat at the head seat, drinking and chatting with a few old ladies about health care and beauty, and it was quite pleasant.

After eating a meal for half an hour, it was withdrawn, and the maids re-arranged fruits, snacks and tea.

At this time, a very delicate and delicate little girl who wore a pair of maidservants and a green gauze skirt came to the center of the hall, bowed to everyone, and said with a smile, "Your servant Xihua is the maidservant of His Royal Highness, It is very interesting to hear His Royal Highness tell a few short stories on weekdays, and today I am parroting the tongue, and I have the right to amuse the ladies and gentlemen."

Everyone knew that this was an after-dinner entertainment arranged by the host family, and several families had invited storyteller daughters before, but this was the first time they had seen a little maid telling stories.

Mu Ai smiled faintly, these things were arranged by Mu Wu and Chun Equinox according to Huadu's habit, she didn't know very well, she didn't expect that it was the girl Xihua who came to the stage, usually she was frank and lively, but now she was falling down again Generous, without stage fright at all, but also a good candidate for storytelling.

Chasing the moon saluted everyone again, and then began to preach, "By the way, there is a country called Eastern Jin beyond the sea in the extreme south, and there is a Zhujiazhuang under the beautiful Shanjuan Mountain in the country. There is a family in the village who is well-off and wealthy, and they are called Zhu Yuanwai. According to the rules handed down by the Zhu family ancestors, property is passed on to males and not to females. However, Zhu Yuanwai has no sons. In order to inherit the family property, his daughter Zhu Yingtai was dressed as a boy since she was a child. ..."

"The Butterfly Lovers" deserves to be the eternal swan song that kills all men, women and children. When the last sentence "After the wind and rain stopped, the rainbow hangs high, and there are two huge colorful butterflies dancing around. Zhu Yingtai, the yellow one is Liang Shanbo, the lovers are inseparable, they are inseparable, and they fly between the sky and the earth." The voice fell, and everyone in the hall, whether it was the wife or the maids who brought tea and water, wiped their hands with handkerchiefs. out of the corner of the eye.

These female relatives are locked in the back house every day, even if they listen to a slightly out-of-the-ordinary story, they are nothing more than a champion man or a brothel girl. When have they heard such a poignant story? The steadfast love between Liang and Zhu touched their hearts. The softest place.
