The rise of the prince

Chapter 70 Gillian
Meiyuan provides some pastries, snacks, such as dried meat, fennel beans, melon seeds and peanuts, and of course wine.

The servants will be placed on a table in the corner of the garden, and they can take it by themselves. Of course, many of them also bring their own drinks and homemade snacks. Most of them are women.

But Li Ye took a look at He Qian beside him, she was not prepared for anything at all, thinking about it, how could this fit her style.
Led by the maid in Tsing Yi, Li Ye took two jugs of wine and a plate of fennel beans from a corner of the attic, and handed them to He Qian.

"what?"

"You carry it."

He Qian gave him a reluctant look, but obediently behaved.

"Let's go, find a place to hang out."

"."

Although it is a courtesy to greet guests when they come to the host's house, not everyone has this kind of treatment. People with ordinary talents and learning can naturally be greeted by the stewards in the plum garden.And if it is a member of the court, they will be introduced into the inner hall, and the family members of the Wang family will greet them in person.

Gillian stood at the small pavilion on the top of the plum garden and looked down, with a panoramic view of most of the plum garden.

This time it was her second uncle Wang Guanhe who was in charge of welcoming the guests. The second uncle was different from her father, who was aspiring to be an official, and the sixth uncle who ran a shopping mall.

Grandpa didn't ask too much, and expressed his support. Before, my second uncle went south to Suzhou to visit friends and discuss knowledge. Recently, I received a letter from my family and heard about the Meiyuan Poetry Conference, so I hurried back.The arrival of the second uncle also made her feel a lot easier. Although the second uncle loves reading and talented people, he is not a rigid person. He can receive guests and speak humane words.

Many important people read the invitation card outside the door, and immediately let the servants lead the way to the inner hall after they know the person. Those who can enter the inner hall must be received by the second uncle in person, and they are all people who cannot be neglected.

Gillian could recognize a few from a distance, such as He Zhao, He Qian's father, who was the governor of Kaiyuan; The academician of the Hanlin University, Chen Yu, who was sentenced to the Imperial Academy of Tokyo; the Confucianist Gongtong who was out in the field; He grew up in Jiangzhou because his father was the magistrate of Jiangzhou.

These important people will be directly guided by the servants of the outer sect to the inner hall, and the family members will receive them personally, and no one else in the plum garden will be able to see them even if they want to.

And there are still some who need to be greeted by the younger generation of the Wang family. Although they cannot enter the inner hall, they are enough to prove their identity, such as the most famous talents in Kyoto, and the real dignitaries.

These fell on A-Jiao, because she was special, and if it were from another family, naturally the man from the family should come, but she is a well-known talented woman in Beijing, and many people in the Meiyuan Poetry Association also came for her talent.

But she didn't care about that at this time. She greeted Princess Qing'an's eldest daughter Li Mei and the female family members of the Yu Mansion before. They were all polite words. Now that she was free, she couldn't help thinking that it was time for Shi Ziye to come.

According to his status, someone should welcome him into the inner hall, and then he will go to greet him, but she always has a premonition that according to the son's behavior, maybe he won't come, so the more she thinks about it, the more worried she becomes.

Just when she was thinking wildly, Xiao Hui hurried up to the kiosk and reminded her: "Miss, there is another distinguished guest here."

A-Jiao withdrew her thoughts, nodded and got out of the pavilion, took a few servants and maidservants out, there were already a few people waiting outside, she recognized the son in front, Yan Junru, the son of the Yan family, who had a wide range of friends, usually very popular among literati famous.

After exchanging a few words of pleasantries, let the family behind him accept the gift, and the gift will be considered as the meeting with the family.

After him is Cao Yu, a well-known talent in Kyoto. It is said that Yueyue's poems and essays are excellent. He also thanked and accepted the gift and completed the process.

Gillian was just doing things according to the routine. At this time, she couldn't remember the young man in front of her. She pointed to Xiaohui beside her. Xiaohui glanced at the invitation in a tacit understanding and whispered to her. Yi, no wonder she didn't know him.

But the next person stunned her for a moment. It turned out to be Mr. Zhong Li. Although they only met once in Suzhou, after all, her father had promised her to marry the Zuka family before, so she was somewhat embarrassed. He looked excited and opened his mouth to say something quickly: "Mr. Zhong, please." Stop it.

It's nothing, but I don't know why Gillian is flustered, if the prince knows how to explain it.
The other party walked away with Na Ding Yi expressionlessly, and she didn't know the next one at this time. Xiao Hui wanted to see the invitation but was stopped by the young man in his 20s.

"Miss Wang, you don't need to look, I don't have an invitation card. I'm Li Yu, the second son of the Crown Prince's House. I've heard about the name of the Plum Garden Poetry Society for a long time, and today I just wanted to see what this place looks like, so I came in directly. The Prime Minister's House definitely won't blame me. "

Gillian's words froze, the second son of the prince's mansion, that is the emperor's grandson!
Speaking depends on the occasion. It is extremely polite for a common man to say this, but it is very arrogant to say such words on such an occasion!Not to mention trespassing, and then it is not an apology, but a blunt statement that the Xiangfu will not blame!Don't pay attention to Xiangfu at all.

Gillian felt slightly angry, but still suppressed it, the other party was the emperor's grandson after all: "We were the ones who neglected, we should have sent the invitation."

"That's not necessary. Without the invitation, my grandson came in, hahaha." He laughed a few times triumphantly, and the servants around Gillian could also hear something at this time, but they dared not speak out.

He didn't give a gift, and when he turned to leave, he suddenly thought of something: "Speaking of which, Miss Wang seems to have a matchmaker's talk with her cousin Li Xingzhou, and they will be a family in the future, haha, unfortunately my cousin has a bad temper, please bear with me. "

This is a sarcasm that everyone can hear, this marriage is the eternal pain in the hearts of talented women in Kyoto by default.The servants around lowered their heads and gritted their teeth, but they didn't dare to reveal their dissatisfaction. They were the sons of the crown prince.

The strange thing is that the person involved, Wang Lianshan, behaved strangely. She was taken aback for a moment, then blushed slightly, bowed and said, "This is what a little girl should do." She didn't mean to be angry at all.

Now Li Yu was on the spot in a daze, the sarcasm that he thought was the most hurtful had no effect at all.Heh, forced to smile, I had no choice but to wave my sleeves and leave.
The turmoil was just an episode, and it passed quickly, and many people came after that.

But there was only one Gillian remembered, and that was Xie Linjiang, a well-known talent in Kyoto, who was famous for his elegant and graceful writing and poetry, because he asked the prince if Li Xingzhou was here, and he respected the prince from his words.

After that, Gillian declined the invitations of some gifted scholars and close friends to travel with her, and sat quietly in the pavilion to wait, but no one came until the afternoon.Could it be that the eldest son has already come, but he doesn't want to come up, so thinking about it, she called Xiaohui and asked her to go to the door to check the roster.

After a while, Xiaohui came back in a hurry, and sure enough, the prince really came!It's just that they didn't come to pay respects.

I just had this idea when I went to find him, and then I thought that there are so many people in the plum garden, it would be too impolite to go to a man in broad daylight.A-Jiao bit her lower lip lightly, clutching her handkerchief with both hands, when she was in danger, a maidservant suddenly came from the inner hall, saying that someone wanted to see her, and her grandfather told her to go there as soon as possible.

Someone wanted to see her, or grandpa told her to go there as soon as possible, Gillian was a little confused, but still nodded, who wanted to see her, even grandpa urged her?
