The Rebirth of Space: the Lucky Girl From a Farm Family

 Chapter 290 Attending the Banquet

 But where is my aunt? King Qin knew in his heart that his aunt's heart was with Lu Dingkun. If Lu Dingkun complained about his affairs, what would his aunt do? She must be sad, right?

Mr. Yang made things difficult for her in every possible way, but my aunt could endure it again and again because she cared about one person.

"Your Majesty, Shi Niang wants to see you for something." Lai Shun came in to report.

King Qin took the book off his face, sat up straight and said, "Please come in."

Laishun retreated, and after a while, Shi Niang stepped into the house, greeted King Qin and reported: "Your Majesty, this morning, Zi Luo went to Xiangyun Buzhuang on Fenghe Street. Not long after Ziluo left, the owner of Xiangyun Buzhuang Shopkeeper Ma went to the Li Mansion. Xiangyun Buzhuang is the property of the Li Mansion."

Although everything was expected, it still surprised King Qin. How many days had it been since he opened the palace? Before he could do anything else, the other party was already rushing to deliver the letter.

King Qin thought for a moment and asked, "How many people has your concubine arranged to come in?"

Shi Niang replied: "Four stewards, sixteen maids, and twelve rough ladies. A total of thirty-two people."

 King Qin frowned slightly and asked, "How many sets of clothes do everyone in the house need in one season?"

Shi Niang was stunned for a moment and did not understand what King Qin meant. He replied: "Huh? Back to the prince, in the first year, each of the first-class maids, stewards and guards will be given four sets of clothes every quarter, the second-class maids and second-class servants will be given three sets, and the third-class maids, servants and rough men will be given three sets of clothes. Let the mother-in-law give each person two sets of clothes.

 From the second year onwards, everyone was given two sets of clothes every quarter. "

King Qin nodded and asked, "Are these clothes custom-made by tailors?"

Shi Niang leaned forward and said, "Go back to your lord, yes, they are all made to order by a tailor shop."

The King of Qin said: "This expense is not small. We have just established the government, we need money everywhere, and we need to be diligent and thrifty in running the house.

From today on, we will make the clothes in the house ourselves. We will invite a tailor and an embroiderer to come back and build an embroidery workshop. All the people assigned by the imperial concubine were placed in the embroidery workshop. "

Shi Niang nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "Yes, I understand, slave, that you need to plan carefully to live your life."

King Qin continued: "My food, drink and daily life are all in Shaohua Pavilion. This courtyard is large and there are many rooms. In a while, you will have someone clean up a room and use it as a kitchen. From now on, if I eat in the mansion, I will cook it here."

 Persons whose destination is unclear are not allowed to enter Shaohua Pavilion. For the rest, you can make arrangements for yourself.

 Let Laishun take charge of the affairs of Shaohua Pavilion and let Laishun make arrangements.

The imperial concubine's people are sent to Jiexiufang, and the mansion will definitely be short of manpower. I will ask Ruxuan to bring some people back later, and you can make arrangements.

If anyone in the mansion, no matter who he is, violates the rules of the mansion, you will send him to Zhuangzi. "

Shi Niang bent her knees and said, "Okay, I understand."

King Qin asked: "Are you ready for tomorrow's banquet?"

Shi Niang replied: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, all the slaves and maids have prepared what should be prepared. Will the princess come to the house tomorrow?"

King Qin shook his head, "Xiao Yu has something to do and she can't escape. She won't come over."

“How should we receive the female relatives when they come?”

The King of Qin replied: "None of the princes are married, and the female relatives who come to the palace are from the British Palace and the Chengguo Palace.

Grandma said they would come early, and their aunt and uncle would help greet them then. "

Shi Niang felt relieved and said, "I understand."

In the British government palace, the second wife, Mrs. Li, took her eldest daughter-in-law, Grandma Zhu of the Zhu family, and the second daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law, Mrs. Li, the younger Li family, chatted with Mrs. Yang in Rongan Hall.

After the marriage decree between the wise king and the third lady of the Prime Minister’s Palace was issued, the British government seemed to have cleared the clouds and seen the sun, and many good things happened in the palace. First of all,

 Lv Ziran went to Prince Xian’s Mansion to serve as the consul. Soon after, Zhu returned to the British government with her son.

Grandma Wang came in with the post and said cautiously: "Old Madam, Ruji from Prince Qin's Mansion handed over the post."

Grandma Wang knew that Lu Ziqin was a taboo for Mrs. Yang, so she felt anxious after receiving the post.

Sure enough, Mrs. Yang took a look at the post and became furious. She slapped the post on the table and said, "Is this a banquet? He's showing off to me! Don't go!"

The room became quiet for a moment. Mrs. Zhu looked at Mrs. Yang, then turned to look at Mrs. Li, who saw that Mrs. Li had no intention of persuading her. So he opened his mouth and said: "Grandma, the notices from Prince Qin's Palace have been sent to my door. What if we don't go and we don't get blamed?"

Lü Ziqin was named the King of Qin. In Zhu's eyes, it was like burning incense and asking for nothing but nothing good could come of it. She didn't understand why Mrs. Yang was angry?

 If such a good thing happened to someone else, they would probably hold a three-day feast to celebrate.

　　Why are you here at the British Government House? It's like everyone's ancestral graves have been torn apart.

When Mrs. Li saw her daughter-in-law speaking, she also persuaded her: "Mother, what Ziran's family said is right. King Qin's opening of the palace is now a major event in the eyes of every family in the capital. King Qin has handed over the notice. If we don't go, we will be left behind. Words of mouth.”

Mrs. Yang has lived her life as she pleased, not caring what others think. She said, "What other people think is other people's business and what does it have to do with me? I can't do the things that wrong me."

Mrs. Zhu could not stand Mrs. Yang's willful and domineering temper, and said bluntly: "Grandma is right, others think whatever they want. But what about the emperor? Does grandma not care what the emperor thinks?"

Mrs. Yang was so angry that she didn't know how to answer the question. She opened her mouth in anger, but couldn't speak.

Mr. Li didn't expect that Mrs. Yang would be like this. She looked at Mr. Zhu with admiration. What Zhu said was a very clever question.

　　This is what Mr. Zhu has said. Even if Mrs. Yang is angry, she can't do anything to Mr. Zhu. But if it were her, Mrs. Yang's wishful stick would probably fly towards her.

Mr. Li reached out and squeezed Little Mrs. Li's hand, gesturing for her to answer.

Little Mrs. Li turned back to look at Mrs. Li, who gave Xiao Mrs. Li a look.

Little Li came over understandingly and said, "Grandma, my sister-in-law is right. We don't care what others think, but what about the emperor's thoughts? We can't care.

The emperor recognized the King of Qin, asked him to recognize his ancestor and returned to the clan, took the King of Qin to sacrifice at the Ancestral Temple, and also asked him to make him the king and open a palace, which shows the position of the King of Qin in the emperor's heart.

Now, King Qin has sent us a message, if we don’t go. Isn't this going against the emperor? "

Mrs. Li waited for Little Mrs. Li to stop and said, "You two have absolutely no rules. In this house, with my grandmother here, how can it be your turn to speak?"

 Grandma is several dozen years old and has crossed more bridges than you two have walked. How can she still be ignorant of the importance? Why don't you two quickly admit your mistake to grandma? "

Mr. Li saw Mrs. Yang's face turned into a horse face and hurriedly sang the red face.

As Mrs. Li spoke, she patted Little Mrs. Li with her hand. Little Mrs. Li immediately bowed her head and apologized to Mrs. Yang.

　　Although Mrs. Zhu was not happy, she saw that Mrs. Li bowed his head to apologize, so he had no choice but to bow his head and apologize.

After Mrs. Li and the other two apologized, they turned to Mrs. Yang and said, "Mother, the Ziran family and the Zixun family are young and ignorant. They were very offended just now. I hope mother will not be angry with them."

Mrs. Yang was contradicted by her grandson's daughter-in-law, and her face was very dull. There was a feeling of anger in her chest, which could neither go up nor come down.

Just when she was embarrassed, Mrs. Li built a ladder for her in time, so Mrs. Yang slid down the ladder.

Mrs. Yang waved her hand uncomfortably and said, "Okay, we are all a family, and it's not like the old lady doesn't know. They both have a straight temper and speak upright. How can I, the old lady, be as knowledgeable as the two of them?"

Mr. Li felt much relieved when she saw Mrs. Yang coming down the ladder she gave her, and then said: "How will mother arrange tomorrow's affairs?

　Then...then what, if mother doesn't want to see King Qin, then mother rests at home? Let the Zixun family of Ziran family go to the banquet, and then tell them that the mother is not feeling well and is resting at home, while the daughter-in-law is at home to serve her mother. "

Mrs. Yang had been lying down for half a year with her waist twisted, so she was very taboo about ominous words.

Mrs. Yang raised her head and glared at Mrs. Li, and said angrily: "Bah, bah! Bah! You are so good, why is your body so bad? Bad luck! Since he posted the post, I will come over tomorrow to have a look. I am passing by. Now, why can’t he be treated to a good meal and tea?”

Li flattered her and said: "If my mother comes to visit the palace, the King of Qin will naturally treat her as a distinguished guest and treat her well. Otherwise, he will be rude."

After hearing what Li said, Mrs. Yang's eyes lit up and she nodded: "Yes, the British government has raised him for more than 20 years. If he doesn't receive me, an old woman, well, then he will be ungrateful."

Mrs. Yang paused for a moment when she said this, then her mind changed and an idea came to her. She looked at Li and said, "Let's go there early tomorrow morning and have breakfast at Prince Qin's Mansion.

Since the King of Qin has invited us to a banquet, we should be sincere. Tomorrow, except for the concierge, the whole family will go to the King of Qin’s Mansion to have a lively meal. We will have dinner in the evening and then return to the Mansion. "

 Li didn’t expect that her casual words of flattery would give Mrs. Yang such great inspiration.

Mrs. Zhu was dumbfounded when she heard this. Others were giving banquets, and some people brought all the people there to eat for a whole day? What kind of family did she marry into? It's simply unbelievable.

Little Mrs. Li was no less surprised than Mrs. Zhu. She turned to look at Mrs. Li and asked softly: "Mother, is this okay?"

Although Xiao Li's voice was small, no one spoke at this time, and everyone in the room heard Xiao Li's words.

Mrs. Yang raised her head and looked at Mr. Li and said, "What's wrong with this? King Qin has lived in our palace for more than twenty years. In our palace, from top to bottom, everyone likes him and everyone can't bear to leave him. Now. Now The king of Qin granted him a title and built a palace, and everyone in the palace came to congratulate him. What's wrong with that?"

Mrs. Yang's face became filled with anger as she spoke.

Mr. Li knew that Mrs. Yang was on the verge of anger at this time, and hurriedly echoed: "Mother is absolutely right, let the whole family go there, it will give face to King Qin."

Mrs. Yang saw that Mrs. Li agreed with her statement, her anger dissipated a little, and her face softened a lot. "That's it. Aunt Wang, you go and make arrangements. We'll set off tomorrow at the end of Yin Dynasty. Let everyone gather in the front yard. Anyone who arrives late will have one month's salary deducted."

Grandma Wang bent her knees and said, "Okay, I will make arrangements now."

Seeing that it was a done deal, Mrs. Zhu sighed slightly and thought about what reason she should find to avoid messing around with these lunatics.

Mrs. Yang didn't want to look at the faces of Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law anymore, so she waved her hand and said, "I'm tired today and want to take a rest. You can go back."

Mr. Li took her two daughters-in-law to say goodbye to Mrs. Yang and left the house.

As the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left Rong'an Hall, Mrs. Li couldn't help but ask, "Mother, do we really want the whole family to go to Prince Qin's Mansion tomorrow?"

Ms. Li sighed and said: "Everything has been arranged, so of course I have to go."

Zhu asked: "No one can stop the old lady from doing this?"

Mrs. Li looked at Mrs. Zhu and said, "The Duke of the country is not in the mansion, and the old lady is in charge of the mansion. Who can refute the matters decided by the old lady?"

Zhu said bluntly: "If we go like this, it would be better not to go. If we don't go, we can find an excuse to excuse ourselves."

　　To do this is to slap your own family in the face.

In the past, it was rumored that my grandmother did not treat my eldest aunt and the sixth master well. Tomorrow, my grandmother summoned the whole family to go to the Prince of Qin's Mansion for a banquet. At the cusp of this crisis, how can people not think too much? From now on, Master, how will the second brother and the others gain a foothold in front of others? "

After hearing what Zhu said, little Li turned to look at Li and asked, "Mom, are we still going?"

 How does Mr. Li not know these principles? There was nothing she could do about Mrs. Yang.

He could only say: "The old lady is the elder and she is in charge of the house. Who dares not to listen to her?

Let alone go to the Qin Prince's Mansion for a banquet, even if we are asked to go up the Mountain of Swords and into the Sea of ​​Fire, even if the old lady says we should go, we have to go.

 Otherwise, the charge of unfilial piety will fall on us. So, we still have to go. "

 Zhu said: "But..."

Mrs. Li was afraid that Ms. Zhu would continue talking, so she urged: "I know what you mean, and I understand that you are thinking about the house. But we don't have the final say in the house. You two have been out for a long time, go back quickly, it's too late. The child is crying again."

Mrs. Zhu sighed, said goodbye to Mrs. Li Fushen, and went to their respective courtyards.

 At night, a heavy drizzle began to fall from the sky. By Yinzheng time, the ground was already wet with rainwater and the eaves began to drip.

People from the British government gathered in the long corridor outside. There was a chill in the humid air. Some of the maids and women wore few clothes, shivering from the cold and folding their arms.

“Let’s go back and put on some clothes? It’s too cold and I can’t stand it anymore.” Someone suggested in a low voice.

"Forget it, we're going to count the number of people soon. If you're not here when we find you, the monthly payment for this month will be gone. Just bear with it, you'll warm up after walking around for a while." The person on the side reminded kindly. .

Someone murmured in a low voice: "It's such a cold day, why are we going to a banquet?"

 “Shut up, and be careful if you get slapped.” The person next to me reminded him in a low voice.

The muttering sounds no longer sounded, and all that was faintly heard were trembling sounds.

The carriages in the mansion are limited. Except for the master, only the steward and the first-class maids can ride in the carriages. The rest can only walk.

At the end of Yin Dynasty, Mrs. Yang got on the carriage. Grandma Wang gave an order, and the carriages and horses of the British government set off from the mansion in a mighty manner.

Along the way, passers-by stopped to watch and asked what a good day it was today. Let the British government come out in full force.
