The Jiji Banquet was very lively, with firecrackers set off in every ten miles and eight pavilions, and the whole street was full of joy, just like Chinese New Year. The huge garden was bustling with people coming and going, and the princes and ladies who had not yet had a banquet gathered together to play polo, throw pots, or recite poems in pairs, from poetry to poetry to philosophy of life.
The children also gathered together to play, bouncing around the yard, and the annoying maids ran behind, and when they were tired, they grabbed a piece of pre-banquet snacks and ate them, filling their mouths. I need a maid to come over and wipe my mouth.
The adults gathered together, the wives chatted around the empress in the pavilion, and the officials drank and chatted in the front hall.
The maids and servants were busy, serving tea, water, and the most exquisite pastries, but they were also happy, after all, they hadn't seen such a lively scene for a long time, and their mood also became happy.
If the family is more happy, maybe they can reward something, but as for what it is, I can¡¯t say for sure, maybe it¡¯s a few taels of silver, or a few pieces of cakes, or a hairpin, or even a bracelet. not good.
Lin Huan came out after changing clothes, Huarong waved to her, asked her to sit next to him, and introduced her to the ladies.
As soon as Lin Huan was seated, the crowd became lively again. He started to praise Lin Huan like a fairy in the sky. However, boasting is reasonable and not excessive, making people's cheeks blush. , I can't find the slightest bit of displeasure.
"The empress's niece is so beautiful. She has just reached the age of 1, so she shouldn't be married yet, right?" It was the chief envoy's mistress who spoke.
"Yeah, yeah! This fairy-like person, I'm afraid the threshold of marriage proposal is about to be broken? I don't know if there is anyone you like?" It was Mistress Jiangnan, Commander Shi, who answered the conversation.
At the beginning, there is a curious waiting below.
Huarong smiled, and shook Lin Huan's hand, "Not yet, I only have such a niece in this palace, so this niece and son-in-law will naturally be picky."
"What the empress said is true!" The mistress of the chief envoy smiled, "I don't know if my worthless son-in-law has a chance?"
Mistress Si Yunshi smiled and said, "The one in your family is still not good enough? He is young and talented, and he has already won the Juren. Next year, he will have the test and palace test, and he will be on the list! If you say it, you can't live up to it. , I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s the one in my house!¡±
In the family, there are several mistresses whose legitimate sons and concubines are not married, fighting over each other and giving in to each other.
Huarong turned slightly and asked the eldest lady who was sitting at the side, "How are the legitimate sons of these families?"
After all, Lin Huan's mother is not qualified for such an occasion where the head and mother are present. After all, she is married to a concubine and has never separated from the Jiedu Mansion, so it is not suitable to be included, so she is busy with the whole banquet behind.
The eldest lady replied in a low voice, "They are all good, young and promising."
Huarong said "oh", feeling a little downhearted, and turned around to ask Lin Huan what she meant, "Do you like these sons-in-law?"
Lin Huan blushed, and whispered softly, "My aunt has never seen it, and Huan'er can't tell."
Huarong smiled, "Then you have seen it, and then you can choose carefully."
Lin Huan said "um", his face was already flushed.
"Three days later, I will hold a banquet for Huan'er in Hua Mansion. The purpose is to choose a good marriage for Huan'er."
Talking about this, Huarong didn't go around in circles, and said directly, "At that time, ladies and gentlemen, you can come here with your sons. Huan'er is my niece, so naturally I hope she can meet a lover .¡±
"It's a good relationship!" Si Yun quickly answered, "It's the empress who is thoughtful, and gathers all the young masters and ladies together to get to know each other, which is also conducive to choosing a husband and son-in-law."
"Yes, yes. I don't know what kind of Miss Lin likes? Is there any chance for my son who doesn't live up to expectations?" Mrs. Jiang Jiang asked curiously.
As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes focused on Lin Huan.
"I like" Lin Huan felt a little shy suddenly being watched by so many people, "Huan'er doesn't know either."
Huarong smiled and smoothed things over, "Huan'er is thin-skinned, so many people really can't tell. After seeing her that day, she will know what she likes."
As soon as Huarong's words came out, the others didn't dare to ask any more, and all followed suit.
At the end, Huarong thought for a while, and said, "Actually, there are three young ladies in the Hua family, and the two illegitimate daughters have also reached the age of marriage, but they have not yet engaged in marriage. If you ladies have a suitable candidate, let them Come and see that day."
Although they are together, Huarong's words can beIn order to see the close relationship, it is obvious that there is a clear difference between my niece and the three young ladies and two illegitimate daughters of the Hua family. These ladies are all high-ranking and powerful, so naturally they look down on them, and the excitement will naturally go down.
Both eyes stared at Lin Huan, the more she looked at her, the happier she was, everyone was a lady, graceful, and shy as a little girl, she also had bright eyes and good looks, she was very good-looking, but her status was lower, but she was doted on by the empress , are you afraid that there is nothing?
The excitement at the front stopped, and those who sat in the back followed Huanxi, thinking in their hearts that although they were not close, they belonged to the Hua family. .
After chatting for a while, the banquet began. Even though this is the residence of Jiedushi, the status of the empress is the most honorable, so Huarong can only sit in the first place, and then the wives, officials, and young ladies of each family will sit separately from the two sides. .
As a princess, Xiang Nianrong sat beside Huarong and listened to countless wives' compliments on her, from appearance to character, from inside to outside, almost everything that could be praised. Leave no stone unturned.
The banquet was very lively, and there was a lot of joy between the cups.
However, there was still an unpleasant scene, Huarong frowned irresolutely, and casually greeted Mother Li beside her.
"Mommy, is the Xu family sixth from the left?"
"Going back to your mother, it's the Xu family of Xuanhui Shi." Nanny Li returned, and then she was surprised, "My mother, this is the Xu family from last night?"
Huarong sneered and nodded, "It's not so easy to forget that rogue demeanor. Being disrespectful to the queen is probably enough to kill him several times. By the way, there is such a Xu family who sent greetings to Huan'er ?¡±
"Yes." Nanny Li nodded.
"That's it" Huarong was a little confused, "I don't know what attitude the eldest lady Huaner and the others have towards this Xu family. In this way, you first send someone to clean her up secretly, and wait for the end of Huaner's banquet in three days." I'll make plans later."
Grandma Li was a little dazed when she heard Huarong's secret tidying up, but she still responded with a smile, she dared to moles the queen, she might get tired of it. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
