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

Chapter 292 Attending a Banquet 3

Mrs. Yang followed Shi Niang for a while. When she turned around, she didn’t see the servants following her, so she asked, “Where are the people? Why didn’t they follow?”

Mrs. Li Er understood what Mrs. Yang was referring to and replied: "It seems that the people from the palace took them to the other side."

When Mrs. Yang heard this, she immediately straightened her face. Looking at Mrs. Li's swollen voice, she asked: "It's on the other side. Why didn't you stop it? Where is the other side?"

Facing Mrs. Yang’s scolding, Mrs. Li felt extremely aggrieved.

　　A guest does as he pleases. When visiting someone else's house, doesn't he always follow the host's arrangements? What does this have to do with her? Why are you yelling at her?

It’s okay to yell at her at home, but if you yell at her when you’re a guest outside, doesn’t she want to lose face?

Seeing that she did not respond for a long time, Mrs. Yang asked in an even more unkind tone: "Are you mute?"

The anger in Mrs. Li Er's heart was rising. She clenched the handkerchief tightly with both hands and took several deep breaths before calming down. He raised his hand and pointed to the left side, "Going over there."

Mrs. Yang looked along Li's hand, but saw no figure, so she complained: "You saw it, why did you stop it? They are all from the British government, and you are their master, why don't you protect them?" "

 Zhu couldn't stand it anymore, so she defended Li and said, "Grandma..."

Mrs. Li Er was afraid of making noise and making people laugh, so she quickly interrupted Zhu and said, "My mother treats her subordinates with kindness and cares for everyone in the house, so she is respected by everyone in the house. My daughter-in-law keeps her mother's teachings in mind."

Ms. Zhu turned her head to look at her mother-in-law, who was still in a low position, and swallowed the words that came to her lips.

Shi Niang pretended not to know that Mrs. Yang and others had stopped and continued walking forward.

The chamberlain holding an umbrella next to him reminded: "Manager Shi, Mrs. Yang seems to be asking about the whereabouts of the British Duke's servants."

Shi Niang stopped and turned to look at Mrs. Yang.

Mrs. Yang saw Shi Niang looking over and asked in an unfriendly tone, "Steward Shi, where are the people in our house? Where did you let people take them?"

Shi Niang bowed slightly and said calmly: "Go back to the old lady, I will ask someone to take them to Chenyue Pavilion."

Mrs. Yang had a sullen face and asked fiercely: "Why? Aren't you just a guest? What? There are different courtyards for reception? Are the guests of Prince Qin's residence divided into three, six or nine grades?"

Shi Niang smiled slightly and said: "The old lady is right, the visitors are guests, how can we classify the guests into different grades?

Chenyue Pavilion is a place used by the Prince of Qin to entertain guests. It is adjacent to Chenming Pavilion and shares the same lobby.

 It's just that the entrance and exit gates are different.

 The old lady entered the house from here, walked through the lobby, and arrived at the courtyard of Chenyue Pavilion, where she could see people from the British government.

The British Duke's Palace has been kind to our prince. Madam Yang, please rest assured that the Prince of Qin's Palace will never neglect the distinguished guests from the British Duke's Palace.

The British government officials came so early, so they probably haven’t had breakfast yet, right? I ordered the kitchen to prepare breakfast and invited Mrs. Yang to come in for breakfast. "

Little Mrs. Li clasped her hands in front of her and stood behind Mrs. Li with her head bowed, her expression expressionless.

Mrs. Zhu felt so embarrassed and looked at Mrs. Yang with anger in her eyes.

Mrs. Yang originally came to the Prince of Qin's Mansion to find trouble, so naturally she didn't feel that her words and deeds were excessive.

  She thought she had used this trick correctly, and felt a little proud in her heart.

In Mrs. Yang’s view, Shi Niang’s words were nothing more than quibbling. She brought all the people here just to embarrass Prince Qin’s house.

Mrs. Yang snorted coldly. She raised her head and looked at the plaque on the door of the courtyard with suspicion. There were indeed three characters "Chenming Pavilion" written on the plaque.

Mrs. Li Er tried to smooth things over and said: "It's raining heavily, let's go in quickly."

Shi Niang leaned forward and said, "Everyone, please!"

Little Li was afraid that the old lady would say embarrassing words again, so she echoed: "It's raining hard, so let's go inside quickly."

Mr. Zhu was very upset and scolded Lu Ziran in her heart. She shouldn't listen to Lu Ziran's words and come here to embarrass herself.

When Zhu passed by Shi Niang, she bowed apologetically to Shi and whispered, "I'm sorry."

Shi Niang looked at Zhu in surprise. Zhu smiled awkwardly at her, then walked past her and walked in.

Old Madam Yang entered the house and did not sit down as instructed by the chamberlain. Instead, she wandered around the house.

Shi Niang understood why Mrs. Yang didn't sit down. Let her wander around the house, and if Mrs. Yang doesn't sit down, Mrs. Li, Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Li will have to accompany her.

As Shi Niang said, the Chenyue Pavilion and Chenming Pavilion in Prince Qin's Mansion are connected courtyards, each with its own east and west wing rooms, ear rooms, inverted seating rooms, etc. Only the main room is connected.

There are a lot of rooms here. Mrs. Yang walked around for a while but couldn't find the door leading to Chenyue Pavilion. She asked Shi Niang impatiently: "How to get to Chenyue Pavilion from here?"

Shi Niang asked: "Old lady, don't you need to have breakfast before going there?"

Old Madam Yang glanced at the fully arranged round table, with a dazzling array of delicacies, and it seemed that a lot of effort had been put into it.

He sneered in his heart, no wonder he wanted to bring her here and take the servants elsewhere.

"I brought them out, so I naturally want to go with them. How can I carry them on my back and eat alone?"

“Old Madam Yang is really kind and generous, and I admire her deeply. Please come down with me. You can go to the dining room and report to Manager Wu, and we will start the banquet when the old lady arrives.”

Shi Niang first flattered Mrs. Yang, then turned to explain to the chamberlain.

The chamberlain bowed in response, took two steps back and turned to leave.

Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law naturally understood what Mrs. Yang meant and followed her with their hands lowered.

 Mrs. Zhu looked at Mrs. Yang who was causing trouble, clenched her teeth with hatred, and reluctantly fell to the end.

Shi Niang led a few people out of the living room and walked along the corridor to the main room.

Shi Niang stood at the door of the hall and said, "This is the hall, please come inside."

Mrs. Yang took the lead in stepping into the main room. Looking at the tall and magnificent lobby, she couldn't help but pause.

Mrs. Li Er behind her saw that she was not moving, so she had to stop and curiously poked her head in to take a look.

“Wow, so impressive!” Mrs. Li Er could not help but admire.

Mrs. Li Er's exclamation made Mrs. Yang come back to her senses. She turned back and glared at Mrs. Li Er, "How unskilled!"

Mrs. Li Er closed her mouth in embarrassment and stopped saying anything.

Mr. Zhu and Mrs. Li entered the main room and looked at the spacious and bright main room. The various furniture made of red sandalwood, each of which was made with unique craftsmanship, made people unable to take their eyes away and made them envious.

Mrs. Yang has a daughter who is a queen. She often goes to the palace. She thinks she has seen a lot of good things, but when she sees the scene in front of her, she is deeply shocked.

Shi Niang looked at the people who were standing there, and said calmly: "Please come down with me."

Mrs. Yang came to her senses and followed Shi Niang around the colorful wooden carving screen before entering the main room of Chenyue Pavilion.

A few people were once again stunned by the decoration in the room. The decoration of Chenming Pavilion was like the bright moon in the arms, while the decoration of Chenyue Pavilion was charming and gentle, and the furnishings in the room were all soft.

Shi Niang glanced at the people and walked straight forward, "Guys, please come down with me."

 Speaking, Shi Niang led a few people through the main room and went to the courtyard of Chenyue Pavilion.

The maids on the corridor bowed their knees to greet Shi Niang. Shi Niang asked: "Where are the guests? Are they all in the dining room?"

The maid leaned forward and said, "Return to Manager Shi, yes, the guests are all in the dining room, preparing to have breakfast."

Shi Niang nodded, turned to Mrs. Yang and said, "Old Madam, let's go over."

Shi Niang said as she walked: "The wing of Chenyue Pavilion has no partitions and is reserved for entertaining guests. Therefore, I asked someone to bring the distinguished guests from the British government here directly."

Mrs. Yang had a straight face and did not reply.

Mrs. Li Er smiled apologetically and said: "The palace has thought carefully..."

Before Mrs. Li Er finished her words, Mrs. Yang turned her head and gave her a cold look. Mrs. Li Er swallowed back what she said.

Shi Niang turned around to answer Mrs. Li Er's words, and just caught this scene in her eyes. She thought to herself that Mrs. Yang's temper has been the same for decades.

 Then, Shi Niang stopped talking.

The maids and women along the way saw Shi Niang and bowed their knees to greet her.

Seeing that the maid and mother-in-law were treating Shi Niang with great respect, Little Li said to Mrs. Li in a low voice: "Mother, this Shi Niang seems to be not simple!"

Mrs. Yang snorted coldly and took over the words: "I'm just a servant. What's simple and not simple?"

Mrs. Yang's voice was quite loud. Shi Niang heard it and chuckled lightly, without making any rebuttal.

The group arrived at the door of the dining room. The waiter at the door bowed to Shi Niang and said, "Mr. Shi, please, the guests have already been seated. The banquet will begin when Mrs. Yang takes her seat."

Shi Niang nodded, "I understand."

Manager Wu, who was in charge of the dining room, saw Mrs. Yang coming in and greeted her with a smile, "Mrs. Yang is here, please come inside. Everyone, please wait for Mrs. Yang to come and start the banquet."

Mrs. Yang walked into the dining room. Everyone in the room stood up when they saw Mrs. Yang coming in.

Steward Wu wanted to lead Mrs. Yang to the table at the top, but Shi Niang said before Steward Wu could speak: "Everyone, please come down."

When Manager Wu saw Shi Niang personally leading Mrs. Yang and his entourage to their seats, Manager Wu stepped aside.

Mrs. Yang entered the room and focused all her attention on the table, staring at the breakfast on the table.

When she saw that the dishes on each table were the same as those in Chenming Pavilion, Mrs. Yang said: "The breakfast in the palace is very rich!" There was a bit of disbelief in her words, and she seemed a bit disappointed and a bit annoyed.

Shi Niang smiled slightly and said immodestly: "Of course, those invited to the banquet today are all our prince's close relatives, so the food must be carefully selected to show our prince's sincerity."

 The proud look on Shi Niang's face annoyed Mrs. Yang. Mrs. Yang subconsciously raised her hand to give Shi Niang a scratch on her ear.

Just as she was about to wave her hand down, someone grabbed her arm tightly and said, "Old madam, sit over here."

mammy Wang was afraid that Mrs. Yang would not be able to control her anger. After entering the house, she followed Mrs. Yang closely and blocked her attack in time.

Shi Niang glanced at Grandma Wang and then called for Li and others to take their seats.

Old man Yang turned his head and glanced at Grandma Wang. Grandma Wang whispered: "Old madam, this is not a British government residence. Don't be impulsive."

Mrs. Li Er filled a bowl of rice porridge and handed it over: "Mother, finish the porridge first."

Shi Niang watched Grandma Wang take the porridge and put it in front of Mrs. Yang, and stepped aside with some regret.

When Mrs. Yang raised her hand, Shi Niang leaned towards her, expecting Mrs. Yang's hand to fall on her.

Shi Niang didn't expect that Grandma Wang would come out halfway and pull back Mrs. Yang's raised hand, dashing her hopes.

 The Duke Chengguo's Mansion received the letter from the Prince of Qin's Mansion, and the concierge quickly reported the letter to the steward next to Mrs. Qian, Aunt Yuan.

Yuan Yan received a letter, knowing that this matter was not small, and hurriedly entered the house to report to Mrs. Qian. "Madam, the prince has sent a letter, saying that Mrs. Yang from the British Duke's Palace has brought the whole family to the Prince of Qin's Mansion for a banquet. They have already arrived at the Prince's Mansion. The prince invites the old lady to come over earlier to help receive the reception. "

Mrs. Ye turned her head to look at the hourglass, swallowed the porridge in her mouth, and said: "It's only the end of the month now. Didn't the old woman arrive at the palace at the beginning of the year? She also brought the whole family there. What does she want to do? Can the prince handle it? ?

Mrs. Qin put down the chopsticks in her hand and said: "Obviously, she is not happy to go to see the prince. I'm going to eat and change my clothes. You eat quickly, and we can set off after eating."

Old Madam Yang’s ability to mess around has been experienced by everyone present.

Mrs. Ye wolfed down the porridge in the bowl, put down the bowl, and stood up, "I've eaten too. Now go change clothes. Let's meet at the second gate."

Seeing Mrs. Ye's hurried look, Mrs. Qin tried to persuade her: "Sister Shan, don't panic. With Wei Ruo in the palace, nothing will happen."

Mrs. Ye said: "Auntie, you don't know how difficult that old woman is. If Wei is a servant, how can he deal with that old woman?"

Mrs. Qin said: "Then you think it's wrong! If we have to deal with Mrs. Yang today, we have to count on Wei Ruo."

Mrs. Ye stopped, turned to look at Mrs. Qin, and asked doubtfully: "Auntie, what do you mean by this?"

Mrs. Qin said: "That day, when you were in the palace, did you ever hear the emperor say that Wei Ruo's position should be reduced?"

Mrs. Ye shook her head and her eyes lit up, "Yes, the emperor did not say that Wei Ruo's position would be reduced that day. He only said that she would be punished to go to Prince Qin's Mansion to help him manage the Prince's Mansion."

Mrs. Qin nodded, "That's it. Wei Ruo is the person close to the empress. As a first-grade palace official, she manages the trivial affairs of the harem for the empress.

 This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Wei Ruo has a golden whip given by the emperor.

Yi'er has always been soft-tempered. At that time, the emperor was afraid that Yi'er was weak and would be bullied by others, so he gave Wei Ruo a golden whip. If anyone dared to be disrespectful to Yi'er, Wei Ruo could use the golden whip to whip them.

Mrs. Yang dares to act wild in Prince Qin's palace today, and Wei Ruo will definitely take care of her. "

Mrs. Ye was very happy when she heard this: "Why don't I know about this?"

Mrs. Qin said: "You went to the border at that time. How would you know? When you came back later, the empress had gone. If Wei was missing, who would mention it?"

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's pack up quickly. By the way, today I have to find a way to add more firewood, light up the fire, and then watch the show!" Mrs. Ye said with some enthusiasm.
