The Crown Prince stayed in Pingjiang City and patrolled around for nearly a month. He seemed quite satisfied and planned to take advantage of Prince Rui's Mansion to give a banquet to the ninth-rank and above officials and their families in Pingjiang Mansion and Linhai Town.
As soon as the prince gave the order, the whole business was so busy that it almost boiled over.
For this banquet, the prince just opened his mouth and gave an order, and the work from beginning to end was all on the people of other industries.
Not to mention anything else, just a ninth-grade official and above and his family members. Does this ninth-grade retirement count? Does a false title such as the president of an official guild such as the Silk Company count? What about a false position granted by a gift? This
I have to ask for instructions. Before I ask for instructions, I must first make a list of how many people are working, who are retired at home, and who have special circumstances.
There are also dependents, how should we calculate them? There must be many people who want to bring their daughters over. After all, the prince of their family has not yet been engaged, and the prince only has one concubine. What if something happens, right?
If Xu takes care of a daughter, can the mother and sister do it?
Uncle Hong, the general manager of the company, is extremely busy.
Mrs. Fu, Wei Xuezheng's daughter-in-law, received a handwritten letter from Gu Yan. She didn't even bring any luggage, so she immediately set off for her villa in Pingjiang with her two little girls. A group of housekeepers stayed behind and hurriedly packed their luggage.
It was already dark, so we hung up the lanterns, packed up the cages, quickly set anchor, and rushed to Pingjiang City.
The prince has invited a female family member, and this female family member must have someone to take care of her. Mrs. Fu, the aunt, has no shirk in the responsibility.
Even Sister Mei has heard about the big event that the prince is going to treat a guest.
For dinner, we had pancakes. Sister Mei fried soybean sprouts, eggs with leeks, shredded pork with soy sauce, salted fish into strips and mixed with old cucumbers, and fried a large bowl of egg and meat sauce.
Ah Wu picked up a piece of pancake, first spread a layer of sauce, then put on the shredded pork with soybean sprout sauce, bit into the burrito, and looked at Li Xiaonan.
Li Xiaonan slowly tore half of the pancake, put on the soybean sprouts, mixed some salted fish with cucumber shreds, rolled it up carefully, and took a bite.
"The prince is going to have a big banquet for guests, have you heard about it?" A Wu glanced around everyone, and his eyes fell on Li Xiaonan.
Li Xiaonan was concentrating on biting her cake and seemed not to hear.
"I must have heard about it. Is there anyone who doesn't know about this? I went to buy vegetables in the morning, and the vegetable sellers were all talking about it, one or two. It seemed that all of them had received the invitation, just count them.
They know a lot!" Sister Mei tutted.
"Bie Ye passed on the word and asked for four or five times more preserved eggs, but not much salted eggs." Li Yuzhu said with a smile.
"Everyone in the school is talking about this. The mountain leader is very happy. He is in the ninth grade and said that he has received a message from the government to get ready. Brother Hong said that the mountain leader's face is redder than the red candle's.
The light should be brighter." Li Xuedong said while laughing.
Everyone in the school, from teachers to classmates, are talking about it. Some people say that students from the Fu School can go, and that the prince is going to take a knowledge test in person.
"Anan, are you going?" Li Xuedong turned to ask Li Xiaonan, who was concentrating on eating cakes.
"Why should I go? I'm not a member of the ninth grade." Li Xiaonan said.
"That's true." Li Xuedong laughed.
"How could you not go? You and the Crown Prince are friends!" A Wu hurriedly stretched his head and said.
"Do you want to go?" Li Xiaonan glanced sideways at Awu.
"That's the prince! For such a big event, everyone must want to go, right?" Awu waved the cake in a half circle.
"I don't want to go, I'm most afraid of eating." Li Yuzhu said with a smile.
"I don't have time. I will go out with the hall sister-in-law tomorrow morning and have to stay outside all night. For such a banquet, I will definitely have to wear silk clothes. How much money will it cost? I don't want to go!" Li Jinzhu shook his head.
"I would like to take a look, but they said that the crown prince has to take a knowledge test. I am most afraid of taking the test in person. It's the crown prince. I think I won't be able to say a word. Forget it, I can't go." Li Xuedong
Sighed.
"What about you, Sister Mei? You must want to take a look, that's the prince, the prince!" Ah Wu was anxious.
"I really want to see the prince and the emperor, but I saw it with Yu Ting before. Yes, Yu Ting. The prince on the stage is so good-looking. I think the prince of Bieye is definitely not as good-looking as the prince on the stage.
That one looks good."
Finally, there are many great dramas in Jiangcheng, and Sister Mei is satisfied with them.
"The one on stage is fake, but the one in Bieye is real!" A Wu tilted his head at Sister Mei.
"I think it's true, it's so beautiful! She sings well too!" After finishing one piece of cake, Sister Mei stretched out her hand to get another one, but she pulled it back halfway, "I can't eat any more, Grandma asked me to
I feel 70% full, which seems like 80% too much." Sister Mei pressed her belly.
"You really don't want to go? I really want to see it." A Wu looked at Li Xiaonan.
"What about you?" Li Xiaonan looked at Wang Yuting.
"I have persuaded her. They are all officials. Why are you going there? You have to kneel when you see an official. Everyone else is sitting, so you are the one kneeling?" Wang Yuting rolled his eyes at A Wu.
Li Yuzhu laughed out loud.
"Don't you know Manager Sun? If you go to Manager Sun, say you want to see the excitement and ask him to ask Uncle Hong if he can arrange some work for you." Li Xiaonan gave Ah Wu some advice.
"I asked Steward Sun, and Steward Sun said that since the prince moved into the villa, many of their servants have been sent home!" Ah Wu looked discouraged.
"Have you really asked? Then ask Manager Sun to send a message to Shi Gun, or ask Wan Qing. Shi Gun is busy and has no time to talk to you. Let Wan Qing ask Uncle Hong, maybe it can be done." Li Xiaonan continued.
Suggestions.
"That Nizi from Wanqing has a very bad temper." Ah Wu muttered.
"This is the only way..."
"I'll go!" Awu quickly cut off Li Xiaonan's words.

Mrs. Fu took Gu Yan's handwritten letter and set off immediately. The two boats went against the wind and the current, supporting the grass all the way. When they arrived at Chongde, the water turned against the wind and the current, so the steward sent extra people to support the grass. Before and after Yinzheng, the two boats moored into Pingjiang River.
Bieye Wharf.
I heard from my cousin that her mother-in-law had rushed over overnight. Miss Weisi simply rested in a warm pavilion not far from the pier with her clothes. When she heard that the ship had arrived, she hurriedly came out to greet Mrs. Fu. She was a real child.
Damn it, tears are streaming down my face.
In just one or two days since the prince's message, she had already made her cry several times in embarrassment. Now she's fine, her mother-in-law is here!
………………………………
Linhai Town.
Huang Xianzhou was wrapped in an old jacket, hunched his neck, and walked along the pier to check out the newly arrived cargo ships.
Mr. Yao followed him, jotting down notes and chatting with Huang Xianzhou.
"Are you going to the prince's banquet or not? You are an authentic member of the sixth rank!"
"No!" Huang Xianzhou answered simply.
"Are you angry again?" Mr. Yao wanted to sigh.
"Why are you so angry?" Although Huang Xianzhou hunched his shoulders and looked lonely and troubled, his tone was very brisk.
"What kind of information did you get?" Mr. Yao stretched his head forward and looked at Huang Xianzhou.
"Well, just pretend you don't know.
"Think about it, I was demoted here to suffer because of the displeasure of the prince. Is the other side of the industry willing to let me go to this bustle? I definitely won't. Everyone knows that I have a bad temper.
, I myself have to hold my tongue and refuse to go.
"I've already told the Customs and Excise Department that I can't leave, I won't go."
Huang Xianzhou put his hands on his sleeves, suppressed his voice, and laughed.
"No, it's really not appropriate for you to go. What kind of information have you gained?" Mr. Yao took two steps towards Huang Xianzhou.
"I don't have any news. I just told you to leave." Huang Xianzhou lowered his voice.
"Isn't this just Xin'er! Then something must have happened, something should have happened." Mr. Yao clicked his tongue.
The things he and his boss found out from that old man's mouth were truly lawless! Let him figure it out, it's time for something to happen.
