367 Blind Date Banquet

"Sister, didn't you say something too much today? I almost cried when I saw my third sister!" On the way back from Jia's mansion, Daiyu asked Qiqi when she remembered what happened just now.

"You only watched me make her cry, but you didn't see her make the fourth sister cry? If people like to come and live in our house, come here? The fourth sister must not be loose in the house, and you can relax a little bit when you come to us But she has a lot of things to do. Just as I told my fourth sister, does Baoyu need her to take care of her? Is she reliable? She will buy it in front of the old lady and the lady, and she will be upset when she sees it!" Seeing that Daiyu was a little worried, she comforted her , "Don't worry! What's the greatest ability of the third girl? It's that she has a thicker skin than ordinary people. As long as she has a thick skin, she will post it. Don't worry, next time we come back to live with her, she will definitely treat it as nothing. It’s as if it happened, and she still communicates with us as usual, but she is thinking about the things in the stomachs of our nuns!”

Daiyu didn't like Tanchun too much, so she didn't say anything when she heard what Qiqi said. The two of them returned to the Duke's Mansion in a carriage, and there were a lot of gifts and invitations on the table. of!

"My God, is this still going to end? How many days have passed, isn't this fresh enough? Why are you still sending things to me? It's so troublesome!" Qiqi picked up a copy of the invitation and looked at it. It's someone I don't know.

I remembered that when she complained to Yunlu, that guy told her to go if she wanted to relax, and if she didn't want to go, then ignore it!He simply pushed the pile of things aside and ignored them.

"Girl, don't go this time again? You can't do this, can you? You have to go out to socialize, and make more friends!" Seeing that Qi Qi only saw a post, she threw it aside. Dare to be interested.I couldn't help but started the daily trip again!

"Oh, I've already said that I'm a house girl and I love a house. Didn't I say that all ladies don't come out of the door, and don't go out of the door? Your girl, I am a standard lady. Look, I am qualified!"

Grandma Gong watched Qi Qi playing tricks, patted Qi Qi on the head, took out the post she had collected early in the morning and handed it over, "Then there is a lady like you? No matter how old a lady is, she has to go out to socialize." , look at this post, you must go there when the day comes! You must go, just for your sister, you have to go for me!"

Qiqi opened the post and saw that there was nothing else on it except the time and place, and the post was elegantly done.At the bottom is a seal of "Master Fenglian".The engraving has a unique charm and is very popular.Looked over and over again.Apart from making the post a little better, is there anything special about it?He didn't even have a name for a serious guest, "Why do you have to go to this place? Who is the owner of this Fenglian? It's quite special to only have a seal and no name!"

"You are not happy to ask you to go out to socialize more. It would be polite to say that you are old-fashioned. Doesn't the lady in the capital and that family know the name of "Master Fenglian"?" After finishing speaking, the palace nurse asked Daiyu, "Girl, do you know?"

Daiyu pursed her lips and said with a smile, "I heard my mother mention a few words when I was young, saying that the "Master Fenglian" is not a person, but a nickname. Mrs. Men discussed and recommended a master. This master is this year's "Master Fenglian", who is in charge of the lotus banquet in early summer every year. It is usually held at the end of May or early June, and the banquets are also attended by prominent nobles. My daughters, sons and daughters, everyone is proud to be able to participate in the annual lotus banquet! My mother was also lucky enough to participate in it a few times!"

"Really? So famous? How come I've never heard of it? Then what are you doing at this banquet?" Qi Qi was a little curious after hearing this.

"It's nothing unusual. It's just that young masters and young ladies are doing poetry couplets, playing the piano and drawing pictures, comparing their talents. Every year, male and female No. 1 will be selected. I heard that there will be very rich rewards! But I think the first name is more attractive to some people.”

Hearing Daiyu's explanation, Qi Qi immediately understood that, to put it bluntly, it was a blind date banquet in the upper class, and it was so mysterious. Looking at Daiyu, thinking that Shi Xiangyun was engaged, she also wanted to give it to her. My sister has chosen a candidate!Don't look back and let people pick out all the good ones, she really couldn't help but cry!

After thinking about it, he looked down at the time and place on the post in his hand, and said as if he was about to go to the execution ground, "Okay, let's go to this lotus feast, the experience of the lotus feast!"

Seeing Qiqi's appearance, Gong Nai was so angry and funny, she slapped her twice and said, "Oh, my aunt, you are really promising, no matter how big your idea is, you will be scared like this, why don't you be so serious when you were young?" Don't say that I taught it in the future, I can't afford to lose this person."

"Talking and talking, the more you don't let me talk, the more I talk. I will turn around and yell all over the street, so that everyone in the capital will know that I was taught by you."

Grandma Gong didn't have any temper while holding Qiqi, she just hugged her and laughed again and again, and then slowly explained the things to pay attention to when going to the banquet, some rules, etc., and talked with her and her carefully Daiyu talked and talked.

Of course, Nanny Huang and the others have stepped up and strengthened the two of them in every aspect these days, for fear that their daughter will make a fool of herself when she encounters this kind of situation for the first time.When it came to the day when the banquet actually started, they were still worried, and they all scrambled to go with them. In the end, Grandma Gong made the decision to let Su Nanny and Huang Nanny bring Xiaohong, Hongxiu and the green willow beside Daiyu. , Chunxian go together.

Chunxian didn't expect that there would be a chance for her to show her face. She was really excited and nervous at the moment, much more excited than Qiqi and Daiyu, which made Mammy Huang stare at her. She went together, so be honest!

Qiqi and Daiyu were accompanied by Huang Nai and Xiaohong in a green-covered and pearl-tasseled eight-treasure chariot, while Su Nai, He Hongxiu, Chun Xian, and Lv Liu were in the rear in a red-wheeled canopy chariot.Strolling all the way to the garden mentioned on the post, Madam Huang said that the place where the lotus banquet is held is different every year, but it is most often held in this garden, because the scenery is the best, and the lotus is more beautiful than other gardens. There are many varieties, beautiful blooms, and it is convenient to get in and out.

Just because the owner of this yard has a weird personality, the owner may not be on good terms with his family every year.Besides, it depends on whether he is in a good mood to decide whether to borrow or not, so it may not be possible to borrow every year. If you can't borrow, you have to find another Zhuangzi to do it.

But that was also a bit of a loss of face, so this year's "Master Fenglian" made many housewives love and hate.It is a good thing to get this name, and it is natural to have a reputation if the banquet is well organized, but if something goes wrong, you will really work hard and not get any benefits, and you will lose all your face!

Qi Qi sat on the carriage and looked out, while listening to Huang Mama nagging about various precautions, she touched the hairpin on her head depressed and interrupted, "Oh, don't worry, Mama, we all remember, These days we say that we will recite it every day! Don’t read it for a while! You don’t feel thirsty in this hot weather? Also. Why does the hairpin on my head feel like it’s shaking? Is it going to fall off? See You put all your heads in. Isn’t that too much? I feel heavy, why don’t you be so grand?”

"Yes, why don't you? You are usually too plain and not used to it for a while. When you go and take a look, you will know that everyone is like this. What is more exaggerated than you is that you are dressed normally. If you don't, you will be rude. Now, maybe I will be laughed at by those shallow-sighted jokes!" After speaking, he raised his hand and touched the hairpin on Qiqi's head, "It's okay, it's very stable, it can't fall off, it's just your illusion! Get used to it after a while That's it!"

Qi Qi pursed her lips.Blinking at Daiyu, he said, "We should take out the treasures at the bottom of the box, and put one on the other end. Then we only need to insert a hairpin. It's light and expensive, but it won't let those eyelids Shallow look down!"

Daiyu just pursed her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled quietly, she was still young and not as expensive as Qiqi, so she only wore a simple hairstyle to make it better.It's just that she was also a little nervous in her heart. It was the first time to participate in this kind of banquet, and her mother had attended it when she was young, and her heart was a little complicated!

"Next time the girl combs her hair by herself, she can make up her own mind. Today, I am serving the girl, and combing the girl's hair will naturally be done according to my wishes. The girl's treasure that can overwhelm a hairpin should be used next time. Don't worry. , Participate in more banquets like this, it will always be useful!"

Daiyu was amused again after hearing this, and the little nervousness in her heart relaxed a lot, she gently squeezed her sister's hand, and gave her a grateful look.

Qi Qi smiled and stuck out her tongue.She could see that Daiyu was nervous, but in fact she was a little bit too, it was inevitable for her to participate in this kind of occasion for the first time!But more excited, watching the carriages driving one after another on the road in one direction, from time to time flashed the silhouettes of horses and horses roaring away!

The sound of galloping horseshoes aroused Qiqi's curiosity and longing for this kind of banquet!Whose young man rides a horse to chase after the wind!wit!handsome guy!

Although she is already famous and famous, it doesn't prevent her from taking a look at it with an appreciative eye!Wow Kaka, handsome guys, beautiful boys, sister is here!

When Qiqi's carriage stopped at the second gate of the yard, there were already many carriages parked at the corner, and many people should have already come.When you get off the carriage, it is a veil for the sun, which can not only shade the sun but also block the eyes of outsiders!

A group of little girls dressed in the same outfit had long been waiting at the door. Seeing Qi Qi and the others get off the carriage, they hurriedly came up to salute and say hello. Mammy Huang responded lightly and took out the invitation card from her sleeve and handed it over. He was carrying a small purse, but inside it was a large pearl. This tipping was quite generous.

The eyes of the little girl who answered the post obviously lit up. Usually, she has only seen the sisters in charge receive this kind of small purse, but she has never met it once. This will allow her to meet a clever sect. Several distinguished guests came, and the sisters all greeted the guests to go in, otherwise how could we get her!

While saluting and saying hello and leading the way, he glanced at the distinguished guests behind him from the corner of his eye. It didn't matter if he saw it, but he was startled by the green jade hairpins on the heads of Madam Huang and Madam Su!She has only seen hairpins like this on their old lady and the two most favored nuns around her. She heard from the sisters who taught them how to behave, that it is a reward only for the big maids who come out of the palace and have been in charge. , is the most capable, most favored and most capable symbol.There are four types of hairpins: plum blossom, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.

One of the two old nuns was their old lady's nurturing nun, and the other was their wife's nurturing nun. I heard that it took a lot of trouble to invite these two nuns back. The orchid hairpin, one is the most inferior chrysanthemum hairpin, they treat it like a baby and don't wear it easily.She only wears it on the most important occasions. She has been working in the mansion since she was a child, and she has only seen it three or four times, but the two nuns obviously wear the highest-grade plum blossom hairpins on their heads.

Oh my God!Then what are the identities of the two ladies she led?She has to be careful.The lightest offence is to be punished, and the worst is to lose your head!

This little girl never thought that the hairpins on Nanny Huang and the others would be fake, no matter where to find such a good jade-like servant, no one in the world would dare to make such a fake, she I heard that the court ladies are very strict!Even after leaving the palace, seniors who see these four kinds of hairpins on their heads should salute and say hello.Who dares to make such a fake and wear it on the head on such occasions?

Not to mention, as expected of a little girl trained by a big family, she really knows a lot. If you ask Qi Qi now, Qi Qiyi definitely doesn't know these things.She just looked at the pretty hairpins on the heads of the two nuns.Exactly the same, very unique and characteristic.But it never occurred to them that the two nuns came out with such obvious identities to put pressure on the two of them.

The little girl was obviously a little guilty and couldn't hold back, she kept looking back while walking, her legs seemed to be a little weak and trembling.As soon as she got out of the curtain, she had to stop for a while, waiting for the girls who were close to her to help them hold up the umbrellas. While waiting, she looked around carefully, and saw a girl who had taught her walking this way from a distance. , and kept winking before they approached.

The big girl's eyes are also sharp, and the bright sun shines on the transparent emeralds, and the first-class trotters are coming to this end.

While running, I looked at the two girls standing under the oil-paper umbrella, very strange faces, I had never seen them before, it shouldn't be!The status of these two nuns is obviously very high, so they can afford to invite such a first-class court lady who is in charge of an aunt as a nurturing nun.It can't be an ordinary family, how could she have no impression at all?

Just as he was thinking that he had already arrived, he saluted Qiqi and Daiyu and looked down at the post that the little girl had secretly opened for her, sighing inwardly that he was clever, Duke Lin's mansion?Isn't that the adopted daughter Gege of Lin Guogong's mansion who has been in the limelight recently, and the other housewife Fujin who shoulders the second house? "Greetings to the two princesses, Gege Wanfu."

"Get up!" Nurse Huang raised her right hand lightly, and a small purse fell into the big girl's hands. Outsiders couldn't see a trace of it. This is a skill that has been practiced for many years, and ordinary people can't do it!

The big girl's heart moved, and she said that she was indeed from the palace. This move made people unable to make mistakes, and no flaws could be seen, but it might have a deep meaning, and she couldn't help but feel even more concerned. She breathed a long sigh of relief, she is not afraid of going on a business trip with a tall one in front of her, she just needs to run errands, this is a good job!

The big girl was leading the road and introduced the scenery along the way softly to a few people. When passing by a sweet-scented osmanthus forest, she said, "Follow the stone path by the river and pass through this sweet-scented osmanthus forest. You can see the lotus pond." Now, the guests haven't arrived yet, and it's not time for the banquet, should Princess sit in the hall or wander around?"

Because Jia Min likes sweet-scented osmanthus very much, Qiqi and Daiyu wanted to walk around when they lived in Yangzhou and there were all kinds of sweet-scented osmanthus everywhere. Isn't it boring to sit stupidly?

When Huang Momo saw Qi Qi looked at her, she understood what she meant, and asked the big girl, "Is there a place to sit and rest here?"

The girl was also obedient, and hurriedly said, "Walk along the river to the lake. There is a small pavilion called Ouxiangxie under the two osmanthus trees. Where can you take a rest, smell the fragrance and enjoy the lotus, and wait for the banquet to start?" How are you?"

Qiqi nodded. Along the way, the sweet-scented osmanthus bloomed well, and the water in the river was clear. Smelling the familiar fragrance, I felt that my mood also improved. I thought that when I turned around, I would not forget to tell Yunlu to let him stay in my yard. Don't forget to grow some sweet-scented osmanthus trees.

The path didn’t go far before I saw a small pavilion, half of which was covered by a huge sweet-scented osmanthus tree, while the other half was covered in a lotus pond. Connecting to the shore, there is a zigzag bamboo bridge behind it.When everyone got on the bamboo bridge, the big girl gave the little girl a wink while leading the way, and the little girl bowed and retreated.

Mammy Gong and the others told Qiqi the rules here, and Qiqi knew that this little girl went down to bring tea and cakes for herself, and also to inform everyone that there were already people here, so don't bring others over. , lest unfamiliar people bump into each other too embarrassingly.

The little girl's footsteps are also fast, Qiqi is a little curious, if they have prepared these things in advance as long as there are people who might come to sit, otherwise how can they be so fast?As soon as they sat down, the little girl led another girl in. One was carrying a tray with a bamboo lid, which should be filled with pastries of various colors, and the other was carrying a pot of hot water. Seeing Qi Qi and the others kneel down After saluting, one stepped forward and placed the contents of the tray on the table in the middle of the pavilion.

The other shows two bamboo tables from under the table, one with cups, chopsticks and wine utensils, and the other with tea whisks and teapots with various tea utensils.Qi Qixin said that whoever designed this is very careful and clever, it's embarrassing what to think!The gossip kicked it with his foot, but it came to nothing, as if there was nothing else under the table.

The big girl saw that the two girls had already ironed the tea set for making tea, and asked just as the water was being boiled, "I don't know what kind of lotus Gege likes to drink. Here are the newly made sweet-scented osmanthus tea, lotus stamen tea, and lotus leaf tea." Wait, there are also Tieguanyin, Maojian and other famous teas, I wonder what Ge Ge always likes to drink?"

Qiqi looked at Daiyu, who didn't pay much attention to these teas, and Daiyu ordered without politeness, "Osmanthus tea!"

The two little girls moved the bamboo case to the curved bridge outside the pavilion and fanned the stove to make tea. Qi Qi looked at it for a while, then turned her gaze to the lotus pond, took a second look and suddenly asked, "What is there in the lotus pond?" Is someone punting?"

The big girl raised her toes and looked at it, then smiled and said, "Gege has good eyesight, isn't she! There are also girls who come early who like to have fun, and go down early to pick lotus seeds and lotus flowers. There are ready to go every not far from the shore. The boats, boats, oars, and sunshade curtains are all ready, and the boat girls are waiting on the boat. If Gege wants to play in the water, I will call you over? You can get on the boat at the end of this curved bridge. convenient!"

"No, that's fine." Qi Qixin said that the trip to the lake was the main bridge that caused the accident in the novel. If she wanted to go into the water to pick lotus seeds, wouldn't there be patches in the space?You have to squeeze with them here, cry without anything happening, disgrace yourself, embarrassment of the nuns, embarrassment of foster father and adoptive mother, and even more embarrassment of her future husband!

Now she has the face of so many people by herself, but she can't make a mess, it's better to keep a low profile!

Daiyu is not an active person either, so Chunxian made an embroidered pier and sat by the window. Seeing a box of fish food and fishing rods by the window, she excitedly picked it up and played with it for a while, but a fish None caught.

The big girl smiled and said, "The fish in this lotus pond are smart! It may be that there are too many things to eat, and they don't bite too much, and it's not easy to catch!"

Qiqi stretched out her hand from the window next to the osmanthus tree, picked an osmanthus fragrans and played with it for a while, then leaned over the window sill where Daiyu was fishing, pinched the osmanthus pistil and threw it into the water, attracting fish to float up and chatter.After playing for a while, I found it boring, looked at the surrounding scenery for a while, and saw the gulls and herons looming in the shade of the weeping willows, and then asked Daiyu to see if there were jasmine flowers under the shade of flowers over there?

Seeing the big girl serving tea to the two of them, he pulled her and asked, "Is the carpet under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree over there? What's the use of sitting on it?"

The big girl looked around and didn't see it, but she also replied, "There are some flowered blankets scattered around. Our wife means that the girls are afraid that the girls will have no place to rest when they are tired from walking. It would be okay to sit there for a while." Don't have fun!"

"Your wife has a heart, and she is meticulous." Qiqi lamented that it was not easy for a housewife in ancient times, and she said that to organize such a big banquet, how big or small is the matter?It's really not easy.

The big girl didn't say anything when she saw Qi Qi's praise and modest smile, but she could also see in her eyes that she was very respectful and proud of her wife. Presumably, it was also recommended by so many wives to hold a banquet of this size. Status, ability, popularity and so on are indispensable!
