The beauty of the lady

Chapter 279 The Goddess of War (2)
Because of this, Qin Wanyu appeared relatively alone in the mansion.

"I came here a little earlier today, but fortunately I got up early, and I have eaten breakfast." Zhou Mei smiled.

After Xu Ying sat down, she didn't see Ye Cheng, so she asked, "Is the son here?"

"My lord has found Ji Heng as Mr., and now I have to go to Ji's house to study with Tan Hualang every two days. I left after breakfast this morning, and I won't be back until the afternoon."

Xu Ying was in a daze for a moment, and asked with a worried expression: "My lord, the eldest son is not yet two years old this year, is it too early to study now?"

"It's not the kind of reading that Concubine Xu wants. This is because Ji Tanhua usually travels all over the country and has a lot of knowledge. When I go there, I just listen to him talk about the anecdotes of various places, but it's too early to study."

"I see."

Jiang Biyao said from the side: "I and sister Xu made two autumn clothes for the son, and we are waiting for the day for the son to try to see if they fit."

"I'm bothering you guys too. His clothes have been made by you in the past two years, and the formations are densely packed, which saved me a lot of trouble. It just so happens that the sweet-scented osmanthus in our garden is already blooming very vigorously. I want to hold a banquet, this time let Concubine Xu and Concubine Jiang Shu arrange it, and I will ask Nanny Wang to help you."

And the women all looked happy when they heard this. If there is a banquet in the mansion, they will be able to meet their family members at that time. They have been by Zhou Mei's side for the past few years, and they naturally understand that she is not a person who likes to be lively. The reason for the grace is probably to let them meet their family members.

So Jiang Biyao understood that as long as you behaved well, the concubine would never embarrass her concubines.

"But my lord, Concubine Jing just passed away..."

"Concubine Qin, I am the master in the palace, so I will take care of it if something goes wrong. Besides, even a noble concubine is just a concubine. I have never heard of the reason why a concubine should be filial when a concubine dies."

Concubine Qin Shu's face was livid, and it took her a while to stand up and bless her body: "Yes, my lord, the concubine has lost her status."

"This is a trivial matter. Take advantage of these few days to prepare well, and the invitations will be sent out. On that day, you will have a good time. I am going to go to Ciyun Temple to offer incense on the ninth day of September this year. If you are willing, you can stay with me for a few days." Day, it can be regarded as a refreshment."

"If that's the case, I would like to thank the concubine for her kindness, and I haven't been to Ciyun Temple for many years." Jiang Biyao got up and thanked.

"If it's okay, you go back and prepare it first. For invitations, Mother Wang will bring the list over here. If you still want to invite someone, you can just discuss it together."

"Yes, the concubine is resigning."

In Xiangheyuan, Wang Momo put a piece of paper in front of Xu Ying, and said with a smile: "Xu side concubine, this is the banquet list that the concubine concubine asked her servants to send. Usually the concubine goes to almost everyone here. If there is still Missed out, or Xu side concubine wants to have a banquet, the princess said that even if you engrave the invitation card, this is the first time we hold a banquet in our house, we should enjoy it to the fullest, as for the purchase, everything is done under the account of the public, When Concubine Xu and the other concubines have discussed it, just tell the servants that the servants will do it in person."

"Then there will be Mother Lao Wang." That is to say, there is no threshold limit this time, but even so, they can't be presumptuous. If something unexpected happens in the middle, it will be really difficult to handle.

Xu Ying didn't care, her natal family was not in the capital at all, but the other people were different. The people who came to the door this time would definitely make the palace very lively. After all, they are also daughters of noble families in the capital, and there are always a few close friends in the boudoir. individual.

In fact, thinking about it, this is also very good. If my parents came and saw that the princess had children, and my daughter, who entered the mansion two years earlier than the princess, was still alone, I might be more worried.

"Sister Jiang, the Jiang family's invitation card has been registered. If you still want to invite, please tell me so that someone can send the invitation card."

Jiang Biyao shook his head and said, "It's fine with me, as long as I can see my parents, brothers and sisters, I will be satisfied."

"Since this is the case, it would be the best. At least you can still see your parents. I'll forget it."

"There are still some days left for the banquet. If you send a letter, you can still come over."

Xu Ying shook her head lightly: "Don't bother, Fucheng is nearly a thousand miles away from the capital. It's not good for them to rush too fast. After all, they are already old. Besides, they don't know what to do after meeting." say what."

"Hearing what sister Xu said, it is indeed the truth."

And until Zhou Mei planned to hold a banquet in the mansion, Ye Yu didn't agree, but didn't object either.

"It's really tiring to socialize all day." He leaned on the bed and said.

"I thought you should get used to it."

"Just because you're used to it, doesn't mean you like it. But you, why did you want to hold a banquet on a whim?"

Zhou Mei took off the hair ornament on her head, and asked Chunqin to tidy her up in the back, "It's just that the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers in the mansion are very beautiful, and I just want people to appreciate them together. Besides, I have promised my sisters-in-law a long time ago. At that time, there will be a banquet in the mansion, and everyone will have fun together. Don’t those women in the capital hold banquets from time to time, isn’t it for the future of their husbands? Through these women, they will more or less know how they are officials. Wouldn’t it be twice the result with half the effort? .”

"You are very kind to those women." Naturally, he would not believe these words, it must be because those people have not seen their parents for many years, so they are kind to them.

Zhou Mei put on her clothes behind the screen and laughed, "Since you know it, you still ask."

After speaking, he walked to the bathroom.

She doesn't mind giving them a favor, otherwise, as long as she doesn't speak, they will never see their natal family for the rest of their lives. This is really unnecessary, she hasn't really been cruel To that point, but if Ye Zhen treats himself badly, then it's hard to say.

Afterwards, when all the mansions received the post from Prince Chun's mansion, they became active one after another.

Especially for those whose daughters are married to the palace, they let the family members prepare things a few days earlier, and deliver them to the daughters when they come to the door.

Early in the morning on the 23rd, all the mansions in the capital opened their doors, and horse-drawn carriages went to Prince Chun's mansion one after another.

Anguo Duke's Mansion, Ding Guo Duke's Mansion, the mansions of the major princes, as well as the mansions of the major princes and the wives of many high-ranking officials in Beijing all headed for one place.

Of course, it was not Zhou Mei who was waiting at the door, but Xu Ying. This was the first time she showed her face on a formal occasion.

Today's Prince Chun's Mansion was tidied up brand new by the servants. There are colorful flowers everywhere, the aroma is overwhelming, the sweet smell of melons and fruits and desserts are everywhere, and occasionally the mellow aroma of fine wine can be smelled, and the servants in the mansion The servants were all dressed up, and sent the prepared snacks and plated melons and fruits to the back garden and the warm pavilions and main halls of each hall in a steady stream, but they were very steady while busy.
