Chapter 438

After he finished speaking, he looked at Guan Yuanhe again, and said, "Today is the festive day for the Marquis of Dongting's banquet. Gu just said that Gu is here to congratulate you, but you must not destroy the Marquis of Dongting's place. Little Li, Hurry up and present Gu’s congratulatory gift.”

King Chun frowned when he heard the words, and snorted coldly. Guan Yuanhe ordered the housekeeper to accept the congratulatory gift, and then bowed and said: "I thank His Royal Highness for your compassion, and please move your Highness and the prince."

Although King Chun was targeting the crown prince, it was in front of the gate of the Guan Mansion. If the disturbance broke out, it would be harmful to the Guan Mansion.What's more, under the watchful eyes of everyone, what happened today will be spread word of mouth. After all, Guan Baize supported King Chun, but King Chun did such an outrageous thing in front of the gate of the Guan mansion. Wait, the bearing is extraordinary.

Hui'an didn't want the crown prince to suppress his anger for a long time, but also to defeat King Chun's army, so he raised his eyebrows unconsciously, and then hurriedly said with a smile: "It's hot in front of the door, the crown prince and princess, please come into the mansion with your wives, don't you?" It's going to be hot."

The group of people entered the mansion just now, there were already small sedan chairs waiting by the side, the Crown Princess and Princess Chun naturally wanted to visit Mrs. Dingguo first, Xiang Hui An accompanied them to the Ford Courtyard, sent the two in and left the two behind. He talked to several older ladies and Mrs. Dingguo, and went back to the garden by himself.The wives and girls in the garden were already laughing and playing everywhere, Hui'an greeted her around, found Mrs. Tong, and said with a smile, "Auntie, did you pay attention? When I was just picking up people, I paid attention. Miss Wang San is delicate and lovely, Miss Dou is gentle and elegant, Miss Lu is still young, but she has a good appearance, and seeing how she advances and retreats properly, she is not a good candidate. Auntie has a good eye .”

Tong Shi laughed when she heard the words, and said: "I see that everyone is really good. Seeing that your third and fourth elder brothers have also reached the age of discussing marriage, the fourth brother is fine. He is uncertain and has no income. Fame, and you are young, so you can delay it for another two years. Only your third brother is the most playful, and now he is willing to go into business, and I can't stop him, so I don't hold him back anymore. This marriage can be mentioned, and if you marry a wife soon, you can persuade him more. My aunt is thinking about telling your third brother about the young lady of the Lu family. You are tall, but you have to be inferior to others...Miss Lu is thirteen this year, and it would be fine to wait two years to get married. It's just that this is all about my aunt's own size, and it depends on what your two brothers mean."

Hui An laughed when she heard the words, and said: "Auntie is really greedy, I wish I could marry all the good girls in the world, but it's a pity that Auntie only gave birth to four brothers for An Niang. It's really a pity, why don't aunt add two more younger brothers to An Niang?"

"You poor-mouthed girl, how dare you hit your aunt on the head!" Tong's face turned red when she heard that Hui'an was making fun of herself, and she twisted and pulled Hui'an's arm, and Hui'an begged for mercy repeatedly.

There are two places for the noon banquet, the elder wives all dine with Mrs. Dingguo in the Ford Courtyard, while the young wives and girls from various prefectures are greeted by Hui An in the garden. Dinner in the flower hall of Zhongyuhe Pavilion.

Yuhe Pavilion faces the lake on three sides, and green bamboos are planted on one side.In the east, a small windmill is used to draw the lake water up to the roof, and then let the water fall down along the eaves, forming a beautiful rain curtain and dripping on the lotus leaves in the lake. Sitting in the flower hall, watching the water drops like a curtain, listening to the The sound of water hitting rain and lotus feels very quiet.

In addition, the flower hall is backed by the sun, all the windows are opened, the lake wind is blowing, the bamboo leaves are rustling, and there is a lot of ice in the flower hall, although the sun is not small outside, but being in the flower hall feels very refreshing.

The flower hall has already been carefully arranged. Instead of wooden tables, bamboo tables are used with thin bamboo mats. On each table is a pot of dwarf lotus bonsai. The lotus flowers are of different colors and flower shapes. They are all different, some are in bud, and some are in full bloom. Although the flower pots are all celadon pots, lotus flowers are also painted on them, and the pictures are different.It is suitable for both to enjoy the bonsai on the table while having a meal.

When the sun gradually moved to the west, the maidservants served the last soup, Hui An smiled and invited everyone to eat it together, and the maidservants shuttled back and forth to serve mouthwash. Finish.On the contrary, the wife of the Duke of Lu's mansion pressed her lips with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "I thought that there would be lotus banquets every year in this capital, so it would be difficult to come up with anything new, but I don't want to do it today." Yes, I opened my eyes again. This place is very convenient to choose. As soon as I walked in, I felt the fragrance of lotus. Looking out, there are lotus flowers in the lake on three sides, which makes people feel relaxed. Before the banquet, they asked everyone to use lotus seeds instead of arrow feathers. In the game of throwing pots, if you fail to cast correctly, you can sing, chant, or paint to show your talents, but you are also exquisite. No matter whether it is pastry or dishes, the soup is as good as the lotus, but it is also very good. It makes people tired of eating, but the last mouthwash has the sweet taste of lotus seeds. It is really thoughtful. The most wonderful thing is the lotus bonsai placed on each table. It is really delicate and tight. There are two Wei Youyu, eating while watching the bonsai, made me greedy without knowing it, and I'm not afraid to say that everyone will laugh at me, and now I feel abdominal distension."

"Yes, it's really comfortable. Among all the prefectures in the capital, the lotus flowers in Guanfu are the most outstanding. Only the dwarf lotus bonsai of various colors are amazing." Mrs. Xie said, Zuoqin Governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate Madam Wang Shao of the censor said.

"Earlier, I heard that Mrs. Xiangye was ill. This time, the third young mistress was in charge of the banquet. I thought that the third young mistress was just the same age as us, and she was just married. I'm afraid it would be difficult to greet her well. Now it's up to me to see who is in charge. I have been in the Hou's Mansion for many years, and I am much better than those of us who have never been in charge. If it were me, just thinking about this scene would make my hands and feet weak. How could it be so elegant and impressive. "The Fourth Young Mistress of Ouyang Mansion, a Hanlin Bachelor, said with a smile.

These four young mistresses are Ouyang Wen's concubine wife. Earlier, Wei Yuan had been blindly in love with Ouyang Wen, but in the end he still couldn't get his wish. Ouyang's family quickly chose a concubine girl from a side branch of the Wen clan to marry him. After entering the door, I heard that Wei Yuan went to make a fuss that day, but in the end Ouyang Wen didn't care about her, so Wei Yuan left the capital the next day and returned to Liaozhou.
