When Song Qinghuan handed this post out, he only said that he would like to invite a few ladies to a crab feast, but not many.
The Du family, the Zhou family, the Li family and the Chen family all gathered together to discuss whether they should go to the banquet or not.
Those files and account books have been moved to Prince Rui's Mansion for half a month, but there was no movement at all. Suddenly, a message was sent asking a few ladies to have a crab feast, but none of them took it seriously as an ordinary crab feast.
feast.
I knew it was no ordinary crab feast, but I had no choice but to go.
The women from all the families had seen Song Qinghuan since the first day she entered Ruizhou. They knew that she was not easy to fool, so they all became more and more hesitant.
The eldest young master of the Du family felt disdain in his heart when he looked at the cowardice of his family, and said to the eldest young mistress of the Du family: "Since I sent you the post, I'm going to go. When we go to the banquet, you women will just do it."
Just ask three questions and you don’t know. There is nothing to be afraid of."
These families were anxious for the crab feast on the tenth day of August, but Song Qinghuan was preparing the crab feast carefully.
After many days of rest, Prince Rui's Mansion has finally taken shape. The maids, wives, and servants all behave in the same manner as they did in Prince Rui's Mansion in Kyoto.
Song Qinghuan asked the maid to prepare the wine for the day of the crab feast. Xiao Ci lay on the imperial concubine's couch, flipping through several densely written papers, laughing while reading.
He praised his wife profusely and said: "Tall, really tall, hahaha..."
Song Qinghuan asked Xunmei to find a set of Yuhua dishes brought by Jingli. Hearing this, he glanced at him, and although he didn't say anything, there was a bit of a smile in his eyes.
Ruizhou is not as far north as Kyoto, and even though it is August, it is still very hot, so the banquet is also held in the palace waterside pavilion.
Because when I sent the post, I also asked each family to bring their girls to play, and a separate room was opened for Xiao Jingtong to entertain.
Xiao Jingtong had never done anything like this before and had no experience at all. He kept asking Song Qinghuan: "Princess, can I do this? I have never done this before. What if they get into a fight?"
"
In the future, Xiao Jingtong will get married sooner or later. Even if the palace can pamper her for the rest of her life, she must be taught the basics of human relations.
From now on, even if you leave Prince Rui's Mansion, you won't suffer any loss.
Seeing that she was not very confident, Song Qinghuan said: "Everything has a first time. If you don't have Chunlan Qiulan with you, they will give you some advice."
After a pause, he continued: "Although we are from Kyoto and are new here, you still have the status of a little princess. Even if those girls' families have differences, they should not make trouble for your sake."
So embarrassing."
After Song Qinghuan said this, Xiao Jingtong felt relieved, but he also changed his past indulgent temper and secretly swore that he would never let this matter become a joke.
Early in the morning, the mother-in-law put all the flowers in full bloom, and set up gauze tents, screens, and ice basins.
There are more than a dozen dishes on the menu, all prepared with crabs, and drinks are also prepared.
From the decoration of the waterside pavilion to the small dishes and drinks, you can tell at a glance that a lot of thought has been put into it.
It was in stark contrast to the perfunctory reception that day.
The eldest mistress of the Du family and Mrs. Li's family arrived first with girls of similar age to Xiao Jing's childhood. As soon as they entered, they made the little maid serving tea and water in Prince Rui's house blush.
There was no other reason than that these two people drank the tea that Shukou used.
When Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Chen arrived with the girls at home, they were also served tea for Shukou.
The eldest mistress of the Du family and Mrs. Li looked at each other without speaking, and waited for them to make a fool of themselves, and then they calmed down.
Before Song Qinghuan arrived, all these little things had reached her ears.
While changing her head and face, Texue said: "Looking at these ladies sitting together, talking and laughing, but the smiles between their eyebrows and eyes don't match their eyes. It's clear that there is a gap."
Song Qinghuan said: "That's just right. The more we disagree, the more peaceful my life will be."
After finishing cleaning up, Song Qinghuan led Xiao Jingtong to the waterside pavilion in a leisurely manner. The ladies and girls from several houses had already drank a cup of tea.
Song Qinghuan was the youngest among these ladies, but she was not bothered at all. She smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries and gossip, then asked Xiao Jingtong, who was pretending to be a princess, to lead the girls to the side to play.
When the time was almost up, I invited someone over to have a meal with me.
The cook worked quickly, and even though there were more than a dozen crab dishes, they were all served in a short time.
The little girls had sex for the first time, and now they are all very good at it. When they are next to each other, they chatter without stopping.
Xiao Jingtong is the princess and is from Kyoto. She has much more experience than these girls who were born and raised in Ruizhou. No matter which girl speaks, she can still pick up a few words and can also carefully ask the little maid to speak.
They exchanged tea and snacks.
Every family with children is lively when they get together.
The adults' table was extremely deserted.
Basically, Song Qinghuan said one sentence, and several ladies forcibly added two sentences, but not many more.
Song Qinghuan saw the expressions of these ladies and didn't say anything. He pursed his lips and smiled and said with Tuxue: "We don't have anything to do, so let's ask the storyteller to come over."
Texue left in response to the call, and after a while he actually ushered in a female companion, followed by two children.
The woman entered the waterside pavilion first, and first greeted the princess and ladies, and then introduced herself.
Then he asked: "I wonder what the princess wants to hear?"
This daughter is a native of Ruizhou. Although she speaks Mandarin smoothly, she still has a Ruizhou accent.
Song Qinghuan sat at the top and asked her: "What can you say?"
The daughter-in-law said: "There are many folk women's associations. Princess, you can take a look first."
As soon as she finished speaking, a child came forward with a bright red post, Texue took it, and then handed it to Song Qinghuan.
Song Qinghuan flipped through it roughly, and found that everything written in it was something that the late daughter knew. She couldn't help but smile and said, "This is quite interesting."
He praised it, but he didn't say what he wanted to see. He just asked someone to send it to the prefect's wife.
"Mrs. Magistrate, let's take a look. Is there anything you want to see? I don't know what's new in Ruizhou."
The prefect's wife responded with a shout, and then she bravely opened the red post and took a look at it. Suddenly, a look of embarrassment appeared on her face.
He raised his eyes and took a look at Song Qinghuan, and saw that she was smiling like the spring breeze in March, but he couldn't tell whether it was intentional or unintentional.
After thinking about it, he finally closed the post, pushed it to Song Qinghuan and said, "I'm dazzled by this. It's up to the princess to make the decision."
Song Qinghuan didn't answer, but looked at the eldest mistress of the Du family: "What's your order, eldest mistress?"
