"It doesn't matter. I like to have a jealous wife." Luo Qingyan said with a smile.
Yun Shang glanced at Luo Qingyan and said with a smile, "Qin Yi, send invitations to those noble ladies in the city, saying that I will hold a banquet at my mansion tomorrow and invite them to attend."
Since she had decided to give a banquet, Yun Shang got busy again. She didn't have much experience in hosting banquets, especially this kind of banquets. Among the people Yun Shang knew, Hua Jing was the only one who liked to hold all kinds of banquets.
Thinking of the banquets Hua Jing had held, Yun Shang came up with an idea.
"Women like to talk about how to make up and how to keep in shape. Although I'm not good at it, I do have some experience. The theme of the banquet will be mainly about incense." Yun Shang raised her eyes and ordered Qin Yi in a low voice, "Ask Qian Yin to find some experts in perfumes. Ask them to demonstrate the use of perfumes to the ladies tomorrow. Find a suitable place in the mansion and decorate it. You could ask for Ning Qian's advice. Make it more mysterious and attractive."
Qin Yi agreed and went to prepare.
Yun Shang narrowed her eyes. The incense was usually used to perfume the room or clothes. But in Yun Shang's eyes, there was some way to use the incenses to the extreme. Some of them were refreshing, while some were bewitching. Some were pleasant, while some were intoxicating.
Most of the ladies invited by Yun Shang tomorrow were wives from noble families. Most of the wives were not loved by their husbands. They wanted to fight for the favor, but they had no idea. They could only watch their husbands being seduced by the concubines and suppress the hate and hatred in their heart.
She could make an issue of it at the banquet tomorrow. In this way, she could to win over their support and achieve her purpose quietly.
Luo Qingyan sat aside and listened to Yun Shang's arrangement, keeping his eyes on Yun Shang. When he saw Qin Yi go out, he smiled and said, "Why do you only invite the married ladies? Aren't there many unmarried ones?"
Yun Shang turned around and glared at Luo Qingyan. She snorted and said, "How could they be as open-minded and straightforward as those married ladies? It's boring to see them pretending to be reserved. Besides..." With a sly smile on her face, Yun Shang continued, "The content of the banquet is not suitable for young girls?"
Hearing this, Luo Qingyan asked with interest, "What is it?"
Yun Shang smiled, "I'll teach those ladies how to win their husbands' hearts and make them obedient to their words and stop messing around with other women."
L
Along with the ring, there was a delicate fragrance, mixed with the smell of the fresh bamboo leaves and flowers in the forest, which made them refreshed.
Hearing their breaths, Yun Shang couldn't help smiling.
After turning a corner, the pavilion was seen by everyone. The breeze blew, and the gauze was slightly lifted up. But they could only see the graceful figures of the people in the pavilion, which made them more curious. Seeing the amazement in their eyes, Yun Shang couldn't help but curl up her lips.
"The main theme for today's banquet is 'Subtle Aroma'." Yun Shang said softly and walked into the pavilion. Qin Yi drew up the bead curtain. Yun Shang walked in and sat behind the table. She looked at the women who were secretly looking at her through the bead curtain and said, "Please sit down."
Only then did everyone come to their senses and took their seats.
Yun Shang smiled. "The pavilion is not big enough, and too many people will affect the fragrance. Please ask your servants to wait outside for a while."
Yun Shang asked Qin Yi to take the maids out of the pavilion and said, "I'm an easy-going person. You don't need to be restrained. I just want to get closer to you through the banquet. And we'll appreciate and try all kinds of incenses today.
As Yun Shang spoke, the fragrance in the pavilion slightly changed, with more sweetness.
"I know you must be familiar with incenses. But the kinds we commonly use are no more than astorax, benzoin, sandalwood, anisum, aucklandia root, syringa, mastic and lignum. What we'll appreciate today are those we don't usually use." Yun Shang's voice rose a little at the end of her words.
"And using these incenses occasionally can bring you unexpected surprises." Yun Shang chuckled.
