Chapter 1422: Being robbed of luck by the reborn stepsister 182: The Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion is inexhaustible
When the guests arrived at Zhenguo Gongfu, they had a different feeling than usual.
First, I discovered that the Duke's Mansion, which originally looked dilapidated and mottled, had been renovated and had a completely new look. It was no longer the dilapidated scene it had been before. Although it wasn't full of carved beams and paintings, it was still very grand.
Later, it was discovered that the number of servants in the Duke's Mansion suddenly increased. Originally, the Duke's Mansion, including the guards, had less than twenty servants. Some areas of the Duke's Mansion, which was large in size, were not taken care of by anyone at all, and it looked very desolate. Some courtyards,
It was also sealed.
But at this Yan meeting, there were a lot of servants coming and going in the Duke's mansion, not to mention anything else, there were quite a few in the nursing homes scattered around.
If these are the grandeur that the Duke's Mansion should have, the various rare things presented at the banquet are astonishing.
Because the weather is getting colder, today the Zhenguogong Mansion brought a lot of pots to burn charcoal and eat hot pot. Therefore, various ingredients were put out first, but they were not assigned to each table yet.
The materials that have been laid out include deer breasts, bear paws, hericium and other mountain delicacies, sea cucumbers, shark fins, abalone and other seafood, and various rare fruits in perfect condition...
Someone made a rough estimate and found that this banquet would probably cost tens of thousands of taels of silver!
In fact, the changes in the Duke's Mansion are all because of Ruyue.
Ruyue used money to renovate the mansion. Mainly because she felt that the mansion was too shabby. If she invited guests over, it would make people feel like the sun was setting in the mansion. Therefore, she spent money to renovate the mansion.
After a while. Because I was using my own puppet, the speed was not as fast as usual.
Now among the more than sixty nursing homes in the Duke's Mansion, only the original six are human beings, and all the others are puppets.
The same goes for those maids and ladies. Even though there are about fifty of them, in fact, except for the dozen or so servants in the original mansion, they are all not human beings.
Everything at the banquet was all brought out by Ruyue. Except for the original one hundred taels of wine and food, the Duke's Mansion did not spend an extra tael of silver.
But everyone didn't know. They just felt strange. Didn't it mean that the Zhenguo Palace was very poor and the entire Xiao family couldn't afford a thousand taels of silver? Why did they suddenly become rich?
Everyone thought of Mrs. Xiao bringing ten carriages with her when she came back from Sanjiang, and everyone was thinking, could the rumor about the ten carriages of treasure be true?
The guests who came to congratulate me originally thought that even if they brought heavy gifts, the Duke's Palace would not be able to return them because of the shabby state of the Duke's Palace. Therefore, most of the gifts they brought were "light on courtesy but heavy on affection."
Now that it is discovered that the Duke's Palace has become more luxurious, it is natural that it can no longer treat shabby people with the original gifts, and they send people home one after another with more expensive gifts to show that the Duke's Palace values Miss Yun's recognition.
This time, the Duke of Zhen's wife laughed from ear to ear: With these gifts, the Duke's mansion was finally able to support the scene.
The banquet living room is located in the central hall of the Zhenguo Palace, and the male and female guests are only separated by screens.
Seeing that all the guests had arrived, Mrs. Xiao took Ruyue into the Yanke Hall.
It was the first time for the ladies and ladies to see Ruyue, and they all whispered:
"This girl is Miss Xiao's cousin?"
"She is not a cousin. I heard that she changed her surname to Xiao and is now a lady from the Duke's Palace."
"This is a huge step forward. A little peasant girl who came from the countryside suddenly became a young lady from the Duke's palace."
"Don't talk nonsense. I heard that the disciple of Yaowang Valley is still a sect pharmacist. This status is comparable to that of a young lady from the Duke's Palace."
