After the couple had eaten the persimmons, Banxia and Banqin brought water into the house.
After cleaning his hands, Yuxi asked Yun Qing: "When will General Feng and General Cui come back?"
Yun Qing thought for a while and said, "Get the end of the month! What's the matter?" Nothing happened, Yuxi wouldn't ask them.
Yuxi smiled and said, "I want to hold a celebration banquet to celebrate your destruction of the Northern Captives."
Yun Qing refused: "Now that you are financially tight, what do you spend this injustice?" How can it cost thousands of taels to hold a big banquet? This is relatively simple.
Yuxi shook his head and said, "It's a rare happy event, how can it be silent. This banquet must be held."
Although Yun Qing felt unnecessary, Yuxi was determined that he didn't want to be disappointed. He immediately nodded and agreed: "I write to the army and let them come back before the banquet." The army's follow-up matters are almost handled, and the rest is left. The matter can be entrusted to Gao Rusong and Chu Shaoguang.
Yuxi took out a black dress from the closet and said to Yun Qing, "Come and try it. Let them change the place that doesn't fit." Yun Qing has lost a lot of weight from half a year ago. This dress is based on half a year ago. It was made for the previous height and body shape, now it is obviously wider.
The clothes shook off, and two four-pronged golden dragons were embroidered on the chest, and the cuffs were embroidered with golden thread and auspicious clouds. When refracted under the light, it emits a dazzling golden light.
Yun Qing frowned as he looked at the clothes and said, "Is this clothes too luxurious?"
Yuxi said, "This is for you to wear at the banquet." It's okay to be simple on weekdays, but it's the occasion that you can't dress casually and shabbyly. This has something to do with the education Yuxi received, no matter what, he can't lose face.
Yun Qing didn't like such luxurious clothes, but Yuxi had carefully prepared them, and they had already been prepared and it was wasteful if they were not worn, so he reluctantly agreed.
When Yun Qing put on his clothes, Yuxi said with a smile: "It is true that people rely on clothes and Buddhas rely on gold." Yun Qing wears this way, not only showing wealth, but also very powerful.
Yun Qing touched the material and said, "This kind of clothes costs a few hundred taels, right?" Yuxi was willing to spend so much money on the clothes.
Yuxi laughed and said, "I think Zaozao's stingy temperament is exactly like you." The clothes are made of brocade, plus the gold and silver coins and embroidery, which are enough for ordinary people to spend ten years. But she wouldn't tell Yun Qing about this.
Except for the fact that Wu Jinyu is not like his pie, Zaozao is indeed similar in other respects. Yun Qing said: "She is my kind, not like me, who else can be like."
Yuxi laughed, looked at it carefully, and said, "The waist and sleeves are a bit wider, so you have to make it smaller."
After trying, Yun Qing took off his clothes. Be careful when you take off your clothes, as if you are afraid of breaking it accidentally.
Yuxi was a little funny when he saw this, but didn't say anything.
Yun Qing handed the clothes to Yuxi, and asked, "Where are yours? Show them to me too?" Yuxi's clothes must look better than his.
As Yuxi folded her clothes, she said, "It will take a few days for my clothes to be ready." Yuxi's clothes are more cumbersome and naturally take longer.
Yun Qing has some regrets.
Yuxi thought for a while and said, "I set the banquet date at the end of this month. What do you think?" The specific date is set, and you have to check the almanac.
Yun Qing had no objection: "Tell me when the day is set, I will write to Dajun and Cui Mo."
Finally, the celebration banquet was scheduled for October 27th. Yuxi personally organized the celebration banquet this time. Thinking that Zaozao would be married in two years, Yuxi asked her to study with her.
This time the banquet was for hundreds of civil and military officials, and the process was different from the previous visits of official ladies.
With an invitation still on the side, Zaozao touched her head and said, "Mother, I have a terrible headache, let me go back!" She was really impatient to deal with these things, feeling like a waste of time. She would rather go to sleep than do it.
Liu Er said, "Eldest sister, when you are the master of the house, you will definitely have a banquet. If you don't study now, what will you do when you have a banquet? You can't just rely on the people below, right?" If you don't know anything, The people below are very slippery.
Zaozao leaned on the chair and touched his head with his hand and said: "I'll talk about it then, mother, I have a headache, I want to go back to rest!"
Yuxi put down the brush and said with a smile: "If you were to see Wu Jinyu now, would you have a headache?"
Zao Zao said bitterly, "Mother, when will you let me meet Jin Yu?" He said a few words to Jin Yu last time in the garden.
Yuxi picked up the water, drank a small half cup, put the cup down and said, "Behave well, I will let you meet after the banquet is over." If you don't behave well, then don't think about it.
Zaozao said helplessly: "I listen to my mother!"
Liuer pursed his lips and laughed, and only the mother could handle the eldest sister.
After the invitation is drawn up, the process of the banquet and the gold and silver utensils and decorations during the meal must be arranged, and even the location must be arranged so that no mistakes can be made. These things are very cumbersome. Fortunately, Yun Qing can help with part of the government affairs, and Yuxi can spare half a day to deal with these things every day.
When Yun Qing saw that Yuxi was not free, he said, "This time, don't hold any celebration banquets in the future." Not only wasted money, but also tossed people.
Yuxi smiled and said, "Okay."
Yuxi was discussing the banquet with Mother Qu, when she heard Meilan say that Mrs. Second Uncle was here.
Lu Xiu came here this time because Han Jianming asked him to choose a wife for Brother Chang.
Seeing Lu Xiu's sad look, Yuxi asked Liuer and Zaozao to go down, and asked, "Second Sister-in-law, what's the embarrassment?"
Lu Xiu said with a sad face: "I received a letter from the elder yesterday and he asked me to make a marriage appointment for Brother Chang in Haocheng. Wang Hao, Brother Chang is the eldest son of the Han family, and will inherit the family business in the future. How can the good master let me show Brother Chang to see the girl?"
If she decides on the marriage and lets her help manage the marriage, she will recognize it if she gets tired. Let her choose the future mistress, she dare not take over this matter. It's okay if it's too hard to look away, and you have to be complained for a lifetime.
Yuxi was a little surprised: "Where is the letter? Show me." Entrusting Chang brother's marriage to the second sister-in-law is not like the older brother's behavior.
After reading Xin Yuxi, one thing is certain. Brother Chang must have done something unsafe in Jiangnan, so Han Jianming wanted to give him a means to be a girl with a good family background.
After thinking about it, Yuxi said, "Since the eldest brother has spoken, you should follow his instructions. I will pick a candidate who meets the requirements of the elder brother, and I will let people find out the details. The final decision is up to the eldest brother to decide on his own. "The second grandmother of the Han family had to decide on Han Jianming in the end. Others can't do it for you. Just as Lu Xiu was worried, everyone is good after the election, but if you don't make the election, you will have to complain.
Seeing Yuxi saying this, Lu Xiu nodded reluctantly. She now really hopes that Han Jianming can quickly find a wife, so that she can ignore the big house.
After Lu Xiu was sent away, Yuxi called Yu Zhi over and asked, "Did Brother Chang have something wrong?" Yu Zhi is in charge of the intelligence work. If Brother Chang's trouble is big, he should know.
Yu Zhi told about the Niu's girl and Yingxiang: "Master Han was very angry and locked Erye Han, but he hasn't released it yet." Because this was just Han Jianming's housework, Yuxi didn't ask about it. He did not say.
Yuxi shook his head and said, "No wonder I want to find a better daughter-in-law for Brother Chang." How can Brother Chang's temperament support the Han family's family business? Finding a better daughter-in-law can help. two.
In the evening, Yun Qing specifically asked: "I heard that Lu's face was sad when he came to seek you today, but what's the embarrassment?"
Yuxi talked about Brother Chang, and sighed after speaking, "If he is not the eldest son of Dafang, it would be fine if he is soft-hearted, but he will inherit the eldest son of the family business in the future."
Yun Qing said: "Since it's not suitable, don't let him inherit the family business."
Yuxi shook his head and said, "Brother Chang is the eldest son. Who will inherit if he does not inherit the family property?"
Yun Qing thinks that Brother Hua is very good, with a stable temperament and good martial arts, he can inherit the Han family's family business. But looking at Yuxi's expression, he didn't say what he was thinking in his heart: "This is what the eldest brother should worry about." It's not their son, and he doesn't bother to worry about it.
After a pause, Yun Qing asked, "How is the preparation for the banquet? Dajun and Cui Mo should be there in two days."
Yuxi nodded and said, "Everything is ready." This is the first time that the palace has held such a grand banquet in 13 years. These people in the Palace of Heaven are very busy. Mama Qu could not wait for a person to be divided into two people to use.
Feng Dajun and Cui Mo returned to Gaocheng, but they went directly to the palace to meet Yun Qing and Yuxi without returning home.
Yuxi looked at the appearance of the two servants, and smiled softly: "The two generals have worked hard."
Feng Dajun shook his head and said: "The princess has only worked hard to guard the rear." If Yuxi hadn't stabilized the rear, the battle this time would not go so smoothly.
After saying a couple of polite words, Yuxi said to Yun Qing: "You talk, I'll let the kitchen prepare wine and food, you guys have a good drink today."
Seeing Feng Dajun and Cui Mo's refusal, Yun Qing said with a smile, "Don't refuse. The princess doesn't let me drink alcohol on weekdays, and I can drink with your light today."
Yuxi groaned: "What nonsense? Really, I'm like a tigress."
Cui Mo didn't say anything, but he was slandering in his heart, princess, you are more terrifying than tigress.
Yun Qing was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "It's all from his own family, there is nothing I can't say."
When it comes to this, Feng Dajun and Cui Mo didn't refuse: "It's better to be respectful."
When Yuxi left the study, Cui Mo asked with a look of surprise: "Lord, what kind of panacea does the princess take, how come he gets younger and younger?" His wife is also six years older than the princess. If she stands with the princess, no Those who know absolutely think it is two generations.
Feng Dajun was very helpless, this guy was really speechless, and he could ask.
Yun Qing didn't feel anything abrupt, on the contrary, Yuxi was praised for being young and he was very happy. According to Yuxi, she looks young because she is living happily, and women who live in sorrow and sadness look old. Yun Qing said with a smile: "If there is a panacea, I'm still waiting for you to ask, I'll take it early."
Cui Mo glanced at Yun Qing, nodded honestly and said, "Yes."
I don't know why, Yun Qing felt bored when he heard these words.
Soon, it was time for the celebration banquet. This celebration banquet is relatively high-level, and only officials from Grade 4 or above in the city can participate.
If it is in the capital, such big celebration banquets are usually held until the evening and held in the main hall of the imperial palace. In the evening, the lights in the palace are full of colorful lights, with colorful flags, it is very beautiful. But Yuxi’s celebration banquet is placed in the daytime, which not only saves costs, but also makes it easier.
Meilan entered the house and replied: "Princess, the guests are all here." The important person was naturally the last to be there.
The couple led Hao'er's four brothers towards the main hall, and when they arrived at the entrance, Xu Wu shouted: "The prince, the princess, the prince..." It's not that Yuxi didn't bring the dates and Liuer, but the two were unwilling. Come.
When the ministers of civil and military affairs in the main hall heard this, they all stood up.
Feng Dajun looked up at it for three seconds, realizing that his performance was not great, and immediately lowered his head.
Yun Qing wore a black python robe embroidered with a four-clawed golden dragon. He was tied with a gold spider pattern belt of the same color around his waist. His black hair was held in place with a tied bi gilt crown. Standing on it, he felt unattainable. .
Yuxi wore a golden yellow dress embroidered with peonies, a long jade belt around her waist, a high updo, a red gold ruby-dotted jade phoenix hairpin on her head, and ruby earrings on her ears.
Yuxi's clothes are relatively simple on weekdays, and it is surprising to everyone that she is dressed so rich and gorgeous today.
After the two of them sat down, Tan Tuo led everyone to kneel down and bowed to the Yun Qing couple and Qi Hao.
Yun Qing was not used to such occasions, but he waved his hand and said, "Everyone, get up!"
Everyone shouted again, and then stood up.
After sitting down, Yun Qing smiled at the crowd and said, "It's rare for everyone to get together today. Don't be restrained. All the formalities and etiquette are also omitted. Just as everyone gathers, talk, eat and drink at will."
It was the first time that Qi Hao and the triplets participated in such a grand banquet. All of them straightened their bodies and looked serious. Even if Yun Qing said such a call, it didn't make them change in the slightest.
After Yun Qing finished speaking, he looked at Yuxi and said, "It's your turn."
Yuxi winked at Meilan who was beside her. Meilan raised her voice and said, "Serve the wine."
When the servants standing behind the officials heard this, they stepped forward to pour the wine.
Yuxi gestured to Yun Qing, and the couple stood up. Yuxi raised his wine glass aloft and said: "I don't want to say much, I just hope that the next celebration with everyone will be in the Golden Temple." These words unabashedly revealed Yuxi's ambition.
After the civil servants finished drinking the wine in their hands, they all knelt down on the ground and shouted loudly: "The prince, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose, Princess, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose." The sound shook the earth and everyone's ears hurt.
When Qi Hao saw that Brother Rui had finished drinking the fruit wine, he reminded him in a low voice, "Don't drink so quickly, you will get drunk."
Brother Rui said, "Don't worry, big brother, no." He can drink seven or eight cups of this kind of wine and won't get drunk easily.
