Passerby's daily life

Chapter 48 Banquet ([-]) (Second update)

After sending the betrothal gift, the next step is to apply for a date. Only then has the date of the prince's wedding been confirmed, and it will be after the general examination, October [-]th. There are still two months left, and the preparations for the appointment have also begun. .

But now the old lady is not in a hurry to prepare for the wedding, but is busy with another matter.The first diplomacy after returning to Beijing, the palace banquet was not counted, this time it was at my own home.

The old lady never likes to socialize, but now that she is in the capital, it is imperative for the lady to do diplomacy.Not to mention anything else, the grandchildren are all grown up, so it's better to make plans early after seeing each other in advance; moreover, let the granddaughters gain some insight, and don't be like frogs at the bottom of a well, standing still.

Previously, the Shun'an House also invited guests. The eldest lady and the second wife were so embarrassing that they sent a post to the clan lord, but few masters came, and they only asked the steward to give gifts. This made the Song family a big joke. The matter of the eldest son of the concubine was also uncovered!
The angry Concubine Xi gave a good reprimand, and the two wives calmed down a bit.

Now the old lady is very cautious when posting a post!Apart from a few families of officials and women who have made good friends with the great master, only two families were invited in the noble family: one is Wenchang Hou's mansion, which is needless to say, the natal family of the future concubine; the other is Changlebo mansion, which you may not be familiar with. As mentioned earlier, it is the second girl's future husband's family.

There are three levels of super-rank titles in the Great Chu Dynasty: Gong, Marquis, and Bo, and each level is divided into three classes: the first class is the founder of the country, such as Gong, Hou, and Bo, and the founding emperor Shengwu personally conferred hereditary succession; the second class is Xingguo So-and-so dukes, marquises, and uncles, those who have great meritorious service can be named, and hereditary descended; the third-class auxiliary state, such-and-such dukes, marquises, and uncles, depends on the emperor's mood, and hereditary descends to five generations.

The first two ranks have iron scrolls of alchemy, and the death penalty can be avoided. This is why under the current emperor's wrath, the whole family of Li Guogong's mansion did not copy and beheaded. It's not that he didn't want to, but he couldn't.

The full name of Shun'anbo is Fuguo Shun'anbo. If the Song family doesn't have much development, then when the son inherits the title, he will be a first-rank viscount.This is why the Song family is standing in the second team.

After a lot of effort to seal a third-class uncle, he will be demoted before his butt is hot, and no one is comfortable.

There is also something that Susu has never understood. The original Li Guogong was the first-class founding ruler of the country, and hereditary successors will not be degraded.

In Dachu, there has never been a precedent for a king with a different surname, and it was the Duke of Li who pushed the king of Liang to the throne.You can only increase your salary and rewards, but not your title. Why on earth did the scumbag father work to death?Su Su couldn't understand it.

In the end, it can only be rooted in the nonsensical reason that the plot is too powerful!

Hehe, having said so much, I actually want to say that Changle uncle's mansion is one of the eight founding uncle's mansions. Although none of the younger generations are promising, none of them are willing to die!Although it's in decline now, it's still the founding uncle's mansion, which is why the grand lord and the old lady will recognize this marriage!
Naturally, this time to treat guests, I will post a post to my future in-laws, and it is also to meet Mrs. Chang Lebo.The old lady analyzed two reasons for being able to make good friends with the second lady and directly make a marriage agreement: one is that this lady is also an incomprehensible person, and the other is that she has plots against the Song family.

The old lady always thinks about the bad things and acts the good ones, so she plans for a rainy day!

In the end, a total of five families were invited in the post. In addition to the two in-laws, there are also the Grand Master’s immediate boss, the Household Minister Zhou’s family, the household member Wailang Sun’s family who worked with the Grand Master on the same level, and the Song family. The house of the left servant of the Ministry of Rites.

The post asked someone to send it over, and the date was set on August 22, and I received a reply soon, and I will come when the time comes.

The old lady asked people to clean up the flower hall and the stage, made a menu, and carefully distributed the money to the maids and women, so as not to lose people in time.

The Song family has two big gardens, one is in the backyard of Suian Hall, and the other is in the middle of the second room and the third room. There is a large lake with large lotus flowers growing, and there are two wooden stands beside the lake. The small boat made by the master is for the masters to appreciate the lotus and pick the lotus.

Now the lotus is still blooming just right, and after a while, I am afraid that there will be no such scene of "the lotus leaves are boundless in the sky, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun"!
So the old lady placed the girls in the water pavilion flower hall beside the lotus lake, surrounded by lotus flowers, and cool with the breeze.

The wives hold a banquet in the flower hall in the backyard of Suian Hall, where they can enjoy flowers and listen to operas.

For the sake of this old lady, I specially recruited those little actors, the older ones were no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, and the younger ones were eight or nine years old, and they all had pretty features.

One of them, Susu, looked a little familiar. She was the youngest of them, eight years old, named Fangguan.She is already outstanding at such a young age, but when she saw her, Yang Liu said quickly: "" This girl is good-looking, upon closer inspection, she looks a bit like Susu when she was a child, especially her eyes! "

The little girl shrank to the side and said nothing. Although she was eight years old, her body was a little thin and weak, which made people look pitiful.Hearing Yang Liu's words, Susu didn't think about it for a while, just grabbed the fruit and gave it to her to eat.

On August 22nd, everyone in Suian Hall got up early, tidied up and dressed up.

People with backgrounds are most taboo about the behavior of nouveau riche on weekdays.But today is the first time for the old lady to treat guests at the host's house in the capital, so she should be grand in order to show her importance

Wearing turmeric intertwining lotus patterns embroidered inlaid collar red gold floral pattern satin placket placket, inside is an ivory cross-neck jacket, underneath is a red gold sprinkled satin skirt and a horse-face skirt with a yellow base.

Because the color of the clothes is already very dazzling, I only chose a set of jadeite jewelry.

Yun Duo was chosen by Bi Si not only because of her carefulness, but also because of her skillful hands.No matter what kind of hair style, you can know how to comb it at a glance, no matter how complicated you are, you can just fiddle with it a few times.Susu really admires this!
Today, Yun Duo gave the old lady a begonia-style flower bun, with two jasper lotus hairpins inserted on the left side, a palace flower with red gauze inlaid with pearls on the right side, and a jasper butterfly hairpin on the back of her head.On the forehead, there is a swastika pattern inlaid with yellow sapphires, a pair of jasper bead earrings, a jade bead chain of the same quality and a pair of bracelets.

This set of jewelry can be seen to be made from the same piece of jade, not to mention old pit glass, the color is serious imperial green!
Although this outfit is not as grand as Mrs. Uncle's, but it is more kind and rich.Coupled with the white, plump and ruddy old lady raised in the past few years, it makes people amiable at first sight.

"The second lady, the second lady, the third lady, the fourth lady, the fifth lady, and the sixth lady are here!" The little servant girl closed the curtain, and the second lady and the girls who came in were all full of jewels and extraordinary spirit.

The second girl has already engaged in a marriage, and this time she is not the main character, so she only wears clothes that are about [-]% or [-]% new, but a set of golden silk and jeweled hair is really dazzling.

The third girl has a gentle temperament, and she wears myrobalan embroidered with lotuses on a snow-white background, and a double-breasted long-sleeved shirt embroidered with twigs in lotus color.Below is a pink-purple skirt.Combing her hair in a bun and wearing a set of pink pearls on her hair, she looks more and more gentle like water.

The fourth girl has a bright personality, but her appearance is more than charming and not dignified, so she wore a dress of pomegranate red and ivory white.

Miss Wu has always liked to dress up as weak, and she often wears elegant colors such as moon white and water blue. This time she is wearing a light blue background with folded branches, a short jacket with plum embroidery rolled in gold, a green long skirt, a single spiral bun, and jewelry. Not much.The old lady had no expression on her face, but the look in her eyes turned cold.

The sixth girl is dressed in a goose yellow half-arm and a light green chest-length skirt, which looks delicate and cute.

The Second Madam dressed up decently today, just by looking at her clothes and jewelry, she knew that the Second Master had done nothing wrong with this first wife.
