Since Guo Sixue mentioned it, it means that these things can be said.
At this time, Xiao Nianzhi asked, and she quickly responded: "She is the daughter of the Linzhou magistrate, Xu Miaoniang. My mother said she is a pretty good girl, and her life experience is quite miserable. But the little girl herself is fine. For the people in our family,
I also expressed my willingness to accept the situation. If time had not allowed me to deal with my grandpa, my mother would have wanted to go to Xuzhou in person."
The daughter of the prefect of Linzhou?
Linzhou?
This place sounded familiar to Xiao Nianzhi.
Thinking about it carefully, isn't this the place where I went to work in one of the six southern states last year?
She remembered that Magistrate Xu of Linzhou at that time had a rather cold attitude towards her, but he was still very serious and responsible in his work.
Xiao Nianzhi originally thought that the relationship between them was just a passing colleague.
Even if the other party is transferred to the capital later, it will be a long time later.
Moreover, who said that if we are both officials in the capital, we have to be very familiar with each other or have a good relationship with each other?
Plastic relationships are not uncommon either.
As a result, we are now close relatives.
Ah this...
All I can say is: fate is not very reasonable sometimes.
Seeing Xiao Nianzhi stunned, Guo Sixue whispered: "Although the distance is a bit far, we must have checked the information that needs to be checked. The little girl's character is not problematic, and she has some ideas. My mother likes this.
.”
Mrs. Guo's original intention at the Jiangmen Mansion was to hope that the daughter-in-law who entered the house would also have an idea and be able to stand up for herself.
After all, in the future, men will go to the battlefield, and many ideas will still have to be taken by themselves.
If he is a crying person, his feet will be weak when something happens, and Mrs. Guo will also have a headache.
In response, Xiao Nianzhi nodded in agreement: "I think my aunt's idea is a good one."
Whether they are generals or soldiers, it is not easy to be their wives.
Seeing Xiao Nianzhi's agreement, Guo Sixue whispered: "Actually, Xu Miaoniang is not the biological daughter of Magistrate Xu. In fact, she was the daughter of Mrs. Xu who had a private relationship with a scholar before marriage, and they got pregnant. However, the scholar later
After falling into the water, Mrs. Xu struggled to give birth to the child. She couldn't think about it anymore and was about to commit suicide. Then she met Magistrate Xu. They became acquainted at that time, and later they got married. Magistrate Xu also recognized Xu Miaoniang's child."
Xiao Nianzhi:???
The ancients really impacted her outlook on life again and again.
She originally thought she was just a normal prefect's daughter.
Unexpectedly, there is such a thing hidden in the middle!
Seeing that Xiao Nianzhi was shocked, Guo Sixue suppressed her smile and continued: "However, if you think about it, don't worry, we have also checked the identity information of Xu Miaoniang's biological father, and the ancestor is also innocent. Although he said that he was with Mrs. Xu at the beginning
Crossed the line, but it's not a big problem. If she didn't fall into the water, she would have planned to come to ask for her hand in marriage, but the process was a little wrong. My mother thinks that Xu Miaoniang has been taught well and her conduct is not wrong. "
This is actually difficult to evaluate.
Some people say genes are difficult to change.
Some people also say that through postnatal transformation, sometimes the results are astonishing.
However, no matter what, the Guo family thought it was good, and Xiao Nianzhi believed in their vision and did all the tricks.
So, in the end, she nodded: "As long as the girl is nice, that's fine."
In response, Guo Sixue naturally nodded repeatedly.
While talking, the banquet was getting ready to begin.
Xiao Nianzhi had a table by himself, and the female family members of the Guo Mansion shared a table because there were few people.
However, their distance is not too far.
While looking at each other from a distance, we can also raise a glass.
The wedding banquet at Prince Kang's Mansion was equivalent to half a royal banquet.
Therefore, all the corresponding dishes, pomp and ceremony are particularly grand and luxurious.
It seems that the cold dishes haven't been served yet, but on the square table corresponding to them, there are eight dishes of dried fruit preserves.
When the auspicious time comes, the fireworks in the front yard bloom, the bustle fades away, and the banquet in the front and back yard officially begins.
At this time, the eight small dishes will not be removed, but the eight small dishes will be served as cold dishes.
Four vegetarian dishes and four meat dishes, a total of eight cold dishes.
According to the order, they were carefully placed on the table, which contrasted with the eight dishes of dried fruits before. They looked particularly beautiful.
Because the imperial chef is out of business, the portions of the dishes are not large, but the plates are beautiful and the presentation is very exquisite.
Like the crystal elbow slices, there are eight thin slices in total, but they are arranged in a particularly beautiful flower shape. At first glance, it is difficult to tell whether it is a flower or a piece of meat.
The cold and tender bamboo shoot tips are placed on the plate, creating a layered texture that resembles climbing mountains.
…
The eight cold plates are already amazing enough.
Xiao Nianzhi couldn't help but sigh: Why did the ancient royal family have to fight for power?
With this kind of noodles and this kind of treatment, who wouldn’t want to fight for it?
Not to mention the prince's concubine, even the second son or the youngest son may not have such an honor when setting up a banquet.
After all, Yan Baosui occupies both the direct descendant and the eldest son. Due to his status, the appearance is naturally different.
After the eight cold plates, there is the hot plate.
The hot plate is divided into eight small bowls and eight large bowls.
Although it is said to be a bowl, it is actually a beautiful plate. Unless the dishes are special, bowls are rarely used.
Even if it is used, it is the kind of fine porcelain that is particularly beautiful and delicate when fired, and some even have a glimmer of light.
Although to modern people, every plate on this table is an antique in modern times.
But antiques can also be divided into delicate ones and sloppy ones.
At this time, the plates placed on the plates in Prince Kang's Mansion were all exquisite antiques!
The eight small bowls are mainly meat dishes.
Dishes such as braised sea cucumber and colorful bird's nest, which are known to be expensive at first glance, must be arranged on exquisite small plates or small bowls.
Because the album...
Hmm, just put a sea cucumber, it won’t look good on a big plate!
To be honest, Xiao Nianzhi has never tasted some of the dishes in all the years he has been here.
Because many dishes are specific to wedding banquets, even at a royal annual banquet, these dishes will not be served easily.
Xiao Nianzhi thought, this might be the sense of ritual and romance of the ancients.
At first glance, it doesn't seem obvious, but if you think about it carefully, there is a touch of touching meaning everywhere.
Especially after the eight big bowls, there are also the eight happy dishes.
Fancy pastries and exquisite candies make up these eight wedding plates.
There are dozens of dishes for each dish, placed on a beautiful square table.
The servants are carefully placed so that they are stacked on top of each other, making them particularly eye-catching and beautiful, without affecting eating and drinking.
It has to be said that this wedding banquet has already been put into consideration starting from the table.
After that, the various plates were selected, firstly for the sake of exquisiteness and beauty, and secondly for the convenience of presentation.
Every aspect has been considered.
In Xiao Nianzhi's place, the sense of ritual is directly felt.
Her thoughts, following the stacks of delicious food, also drifted far away.
She wondered if one day in the future, if she and Yan Xingxuan got married, would they have such a grand occasion?
