The story of the husband and the son of the doctor and daughter of Houmen

Chapter 58
But Yao Fengge felt that this matter was not as simple as Su Yuheng inviting noble ladies from various prefectures to gather together to discuss piano skills. Everyone knew that Yao Yanyu was his sister, and everyone knew that she was the only one in the capital to rely on. If he is not thorough, it would be a disgrace to himself if he said it. Not only would he be accused of being harsh on his concubine sister, he would not be mean enough to be friendly enough, and it would even damage the reputation of Dinghou Mansion and Liangjiang Governor's Mansion.

So from the second day after Su Yuheng returned, people from the Dachang Princess Mansion and Dinghou Mansion kept sending things to Muyue Xiaozhuang.

Drinks and snacks today, melons, fruits and vegetables tomorrow, tea utensils the day after tomorrow... By the early morning of October [-], the Grand Princess Manor simply sent twelve maids over, saying they were here to help.Yao Yanyu couldn't laugh or cry when she saw these twelve beautiful girls who looked like water onions.

In fact, Yao Yanyu also spent a lot of thought on this matter.

Although the weather is a bit cold, fortunately there is little rain and snow in the north, the weather is fine and sunny, and the persimmon forest is on a hillside facing the sun from the wind.There are weeds on the ground. Although they are a little withered, the advantage is that they are soft and not sticky to the soil.

Yao Yanyu asked someone to get red felt to spread on the ground, and also asked someone to build a seven-foot-square low couch with ready-made wood. This kind of low couch is different from the low couch popular in Dayun Dynasty, without any armrests and backrest. It's just a table.Lay thick felt on it, place a low table, and then set thick cushions around the small table.

Small low tables are used to place food and tea, and each couch has four seats. According to the number of people, a total of six such large low couches were built.In addition, there are six pairs of large screens with twelve screens placed on the northwest sides to block the only cold wind.There are also a few small long couches placed on the periphery, for the maids who follow the noble ladies to rest.

All kinds of tea, snacks, melons and fruits are ready-made, and the main meal is shabu-shabu.

Yao Yanyu asked someone to slaughter five goats in advance, cleaned the mutton and found an ice bucket to freeze it, then cut it into thin slices and kept it fresh with ice cubes. Thick chicken soup, and all kinds of fresh vegetables are neatly placed on the plate and ready.

These were all decided by Yao Yanyu and Su Yuheng after discussing. The people of Dayun Dynasty also have shabu-shabu in winter, but they have already been stewed and served, and they are temporarily stewed with two pieces of snow charcoal. There is no such thing as raw Meat and vegetables are put in and rinsed.In particular, Yao Yanyu has prepared more than [-] kinds of vegetables that can be put into the boil, and they are carefully matched from nutrition to color, which really brings the essence of modern hot pot to the extreme.

On the morning of October [-], Su Yuheng's carriage was waiting outside the south gate.

Han Mingcan, the second daughter of the Duke of Zhen, and Han Mingjue, the two concubines, arrived slowly in two carriages with their servants and wives.

Su Yuheng came down from the carriage and greeted happily, and Han Mingcan greeted Su Yuheng into his carriage to talk.

After a while, Princess Yunyao, Princess Cheng's daughter, arrived in two carriages with her concubine sister Yunmei.

Princess Yunyao was a bit arrogant and didn't want to come, but she always wanted to see how good the eldest princess was. Su Yuheng wrote a post to invite her, and her mother and concubine persuaded her to bring her concubine sister to come.

Later came Yun Ke, the first daughter of King Yan, Yun Xi, the concubine, and three sisters Yun Yang. Behind Yun Ke's carriage were the eldest daughter Gao Xuejiao, the second daughter Gao Xueshu, and the concubine Gao Xuezhi who were waiting for Gao Hua.

After that, Xia Jiehui, the eldest daughter of Uncle Fenyang, and Feng Ziyue and Feng Zixing, the two daughters of Prime Minister Feng Zongye's nephew's family, are the empress's two cousins.

Su Yuheng saw that everyone was gradually arriving, and a long team of gorgeous carriages lined up at the gate of the city, which looked quite stylish.

Su Yuheng has a famous post here, and she will write down every one that comes, for fear of missing someone, and finally misses it, and finds that only the concubine of the cabinet scholar Feng Shaoping, who is also Su Yuping's sister-in-law Feng Xiuyun, has not arrived, so she is anxious Sighed: "What's the matter with this sister Feng, why haven't you come yet?"

Feng Ziyue, the grand-niece of Prime Minister Feng, came over and smiled, "Heng'er, do you mean our sisters?"

"Ah! No, no," Su Yuheng laughed hurriedly, "It's sister Feng from my sister-in-law's natal family."

Han Mingcan said with a smile: "One of the two families is named Feng, and the other is named Feng. It's really hard to tell the difference."

Feng Ziyue and Feng Zixing looked at each other and smiled, and said nothing more.

Instead, Yun Yao got impatient and lifted the curtains of the car to urge: "How long do we have to wait? I'll be out this early in the morning, and it's already this hour, and it will be dark when we get to Zhuangzi."

Among this group of noble girls, Yunyao, the county lord, has the highest status. She said that, no one else would do anything good.

But because Han Mingcan is the daughter of the eldest princess, it's hard to see Su Yuheng embarrassed, so he lifted the curtains of the car and persuaded him: "We agreed to leave at Sishi, don't we still have a while? The little Zhuangzi is not far away, before noon It will definitely come."

Yun Yao frowned, and finally gave Han Mingcan a face, didn't say any more, just raised her hand and put down the car curtain heavily.

Naturally, Su Yuheng was also very anxious. Just as he was about to order someone to see if there was anything wrong with Feng Xiuyun, he saw a big-footed woman walking back and forth in a hurry, "Miss, Miss Feng's car has arrived."

"Great, everyone is here, we can leave." Su Yuheng said, and told the woman, "Go tell the guards in front that you are ready to leave."

So the luxurious carriages of the noble ladies came one after another, a total of more than a dozen large carriages, followed by more than a dozen carriages made by maids and women. mighty.

Because these girls were of high status, and Princess Yunyao was among them, the people entering and leaving the city gate were temporarily stopped by the guards, and they would let them go after dozens of carriages passed by.

It just so happened that Tang Xiaoyi and Ge Hai were going out of the city to go to the royal hunting ground in the southwest of Yundu on errands. They were stopped by the guards of the Dachang Princess Mansion at the gate of the city. Seeing the long line of gorgeous carriages moving forward, they could not help but Sighed: "My God, what a big scene, this...why are you going?"

The two guards who blocked Tang Xiaoyi and Ge Hai were not strangers either. Hearing Tang Xiaoyi's sigh, he said with a smile: "The third girl invited the girls from various prefectures to go outside the city to have fun. They are all spoiled guests. There is also the princess inside. Everyone simply has nothing urgent, so let's take care of it."

Tang Xiaoyi nodded: "Ah! So that's the case. It's just that I don't know where these charming guests are going to visit? Besides, it's the season, what good scenery is there in the suburbs?"

"It's hard for us to say this. Brother is only working at the gate of this city, and there are other people accompanying him to protect him."
