Chapter 498 Big Scene
Author: Diary of a Home Girl
Yan Yu's beautiful eyes turned into two crescents when she smiled.
This side courtyard should be the place where grandpa prepared for her to change clothes, so that she can change her identity, eat at both ends, and feel full of participation.
Dong Zhi led the way, walking slowly and slowly, and explained the process of today's plum blossom feast in detail. The prince had already asked people to explain these things, but Mrs. Tian and the other three still listened attentively.
Yan Yu's words were really not modest. She really felt that they were country roe deer who came to the city from the countryside. They didn't understand anything and were afraid of making jokes.
Don’t mention Winter Solstice. Say it again. Even if you say it several times, they still can’t get enough of it.
As Dongzhi walked, he also pointed out the places around them.
Mrs. Tian and Yan Qianchu just paid it off. They only had a rough impression in their hearts, but in Yan Yu's mind, it was like a three-dimensional model. Duang Duang smashed the house on the plane, hitting them all the way. They didn't dare to say it was far away, but they just walked by.
Yan Yu already knows this road and the layout on both sides. Grandpa no longer has to worry about her getting lost haha...
Well, this joke is not funny at all.
There are quite a lot of programs for the Plum Blossom Appreciation Banquet today.
Since the people invited were official families and mainly women, the programs arranged were also suitable for the daughter's family to have fun.
A piece of land was leveled out in the backyard of the palace, and the princess ordered an ice rink to be poured out. It was said that a unique sport - tug-of-war - would be held.
This is a small game passed down from the previous dynasty.
It was first popularized in the imperial palace. It is said that the queen of the previous dynasty did not like weak women, but especially liked sassy girls who were skilled in bow and horse. In addition to the makeup and costumes, the comparison between noble ladies also included these unique items.
It is rumored that the female officials of the imperial court regularly held team-building activities. They chose a beautiful place to hunt and have picnics, play the piano and paint, and play Cuju tug-of-war...
Think about it, how interesting it would be!
Yan Yu can only say that the previous queen knew how to manage with people.
She couldn't tell whether the queen was a real fellow countryman of the family of three, or whether she was a character created by the author of the book they were wearing. Regarding this point, she and her parents talked about it for a while when they were free, and came to the conclusion that...
...no conclusion.
Mother's remarks hit the nail on the head. Since they live in the present, they live seriously.
As for the rest...whatever.
Moving on, this tug-of-war is a little different from the previous one.
In the previous dynasties, noble ladies would end up in person, but in this dynasty, even the cheerful and informal daughters of Guanzhou were too embarrassed to go into battle in person, and mostly went to battle as maids.
In Yan Yu's view, the arrangement of today's tug-of-war was more like a hot spot.
…
Mrs. Tian and the three of them entered the house, took off their sheepskin clothes, and folded them neatly with Dong Zhi's hands and feet.
Yan Yu glanced at her and handed her the backpack she had been carrying inside.
Dongzhi winked at her, summoned a little maid, whispered a few words, and went out with her backpack.
Soon a maid came to invite Mrs. Tian to come over.
This was the Crown Princess who wanted to meet someone. The reason why she didn't call the junior to come over was not because the Yan sisters were not of sufficient status. They probably couldn't meet her.
The British Princess is not in the palace, and the Crown Princess is the only mistress in the palace. Officials of the seventh rank and above in Guanzhou can say more or less, not to mention that there are well-informed official family members from other cities arriving one after another.
The Yan family's charcoal business controls the city gate, and the way these official family members travel is very different. They bring their own children, not to mention their own children, but also the children of relatives, children of close friends, and children of capable subordinates...
…
Good guy, she didn't believe it when she heard what her friends in the village said before, but just as they sat down, several groups of people came in. There was a lady with several girls, and two or three ladies together.
With more than ten girls...
Coupled with the maids and women serving them, Yan Yu was worried that her grandma and eldest sister would not have enough to eat when the party started...
Being entrusted with the important task of taking care of your beloved grandson during the Winter Solstice is truly extraordinary.
Winter Solstice’s mouth never stopped.
Her voice is a bit inconsistent with her appearance. She looks like she has a cute little round face, but her voice is much calmer and more melodious. Her mood relaxes as she listens more.
"...This is Mrs. Yuan. Mr. Yuan is the magistrate of Fengming County. He just came here the day before yesterday. After the imperial concubine heard about it, she sent an invitation...
The one wearing the green embroidered golden pheasant dress is Mr.
uncle……
The person behind her is Mrs. Fang, Lord Fang is the magistrate of Yongning County, and the two ladies on her left and right are the daughters of the Fang family...
The one who just came in is..."
It’s rare to get stuck during the winter solstice.
Yan Yuzheng listened with interest and looked up in surprise.
They saw Dongzhi walking closer to them, and lowered his voice and said, "This one is the wife of Mr. Zhao of Changping... Our empress in the palace is from the Zhao family."
Dong Zhi gritted his teeth and whispered: "Master Zhao has no close relationship with our family. The princess held a banquet in the past and sent invitations to Changping as usual. The Zhao family has always been courteous."
Yan Yu opened his eyes curiously and looked over.
I saw that Mrs. Zhao and the girls around her were all dressed up. Not to mention their hair was full of pearls, and the cloaks on their bodies were all the same color of fox fur, without any variegation.
Yan Yu was speechless secretly.
What kind of wealth does this have to be? It's too rich.
Xiao'an Village is close to the mountain. People in the village have also shot foxes. Let's not talk about the small foxes. How many fox skins are needed to make such a big cloak? There are very few pure-colored foxes in the wild, and variegated ones are
It is a common phenomenon. Just how much do these cloaks worn by Mrs. Zhao and her party cost in silver?
For example, the other ladies who came to the banquet today would be great if they had fox fur to decorate the edges, and most of them were made of rabbit fur.
Of course, the sheepskin clothes they wore were also very eye-catching. They were obviously at two extremes from Mrs. Zhao and her party, one was extremely poor and the other was extremely rich.
The ladies who were seated were all invited one after another.
Yan Yu noticed that when it was the turn of the Xue family and the Zhao family, the imperial concubine invited them away together with the girls around them.
I thought my relatives were indeed different.
What Dong Zhi didn't say was that, as far as she knew, the Crown Princess also sent invitations to Changping as a routine, but no one was sent there to tell her that she would be there. Therefore, the Crown Princess probably didn't know that Mrs. Zhao would come.
The seats for the banquet have been arranged in advance. The Crown Princess has a perfect temperament. If the arrangements are disrupted at this time, she may be in some trouble.
Winter Solstice still dutifully introduced people to the two young ladies of the Yan family.
The ladies have a tacit understanding and come according to the husband's rank from low to high, and there is basically no confusion.
The seating position is also very particular. For example, they are located near the door, and the subsequent ladies and ladies all sit inside.
That’s right, there’s going to be some trouble during the Plum Appreciation Banquet~
How can a banquet in a novel just be about eating and drinking? There must be something else, don’t you think? Hehe~
