Chapter 240： banquet

The latest website: "Why are we talking about this? My father is still free to grow vegetables in the backyard. You are so lucky, you can still see some flowers and plants in the yard at home. I can only watch vegetables every day. When the plum viewing banquet was held, I came here quickly, so that I could see the beautiful scenery first, otherwise I would almost forget what the flowers look like."

The elderly lady spoke humorously and made everyone else laugh. The princess also cheered and said, "No wonder you're the first to come here today. You're here to wash your eyes."

Mrs. Qiu explained to Pei Xiu in a low voice, "This smoothing lady is the wife of General Mingwei Yuan, and she is also the person from Quanfu whom I invited when I got married. General Yuan has followed the prince to fight for 30 years and is deeply trusted by him."

Pei Xiu understood, so the lady spoke up, and everyone else had to sell her a few thin noodles, and the princess didn't want to see any unpleasant things happen to the plum banquet, so she happily took over the conversation.

Mrs. Yuan said with a smile: "This plum garden is not open to the public, and we can't come to the plum garden several times a year. In this cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, when the flowers wither, only the plum blossoms are still blooming proudly in the ice and snow, and only the princess's Only the plum garden can have such a beautiful plum forest snow scene."

Others also said jokingly: "This scene is only available in the sky. I, such as ordinary people, can only enjoy this time every year."

"Mei Xuxun's snow is three points white, but the snow loses the fragrance of plum. I can smell the faint fragrance of plum when I sit in this room."

All the ladies were very enthusiastic and praised, and they did what they liked.

The princess was also very proud of her plum tree, and the garden didn't have so many plum trees at first. After she followed the prince to the fief, she bought the garden and brought some plum trees from other places to have the Jiahe Plum Garden today.

Everyone you said, I said, without a trace of flattering, saying funny things, exposed the quarrel that just happened. Everyone had a smile on their face, as if nothing had happened.

One after another, people came in and took a seat, and the hall became lively again, and familiar people chatted one after another.

"This plum blossom cake is slightly sweet and not greasy, and you can feel the faint fragrance of plum blossoms in the entrance. It fits the scene and tastes good." Mrs. Qiu recommended the cakes on the table to her.

Pei Xiu also tried to eat a small piece, but it was still a little sweet. She never liked sweets. So I didn't touch the pastries on the table, I only tasted some frozen pears, which were sweet with sourness, and the unique softness with a little crunch.

Warm indoors, one cool and one hot, can be regarded as a unique enjoyment. She also recommended it to Mrs. Qiu.

Mrs. Qiu smiled, "I used to eat frozen pears, but now I don't dare to eat them."

She wondered, and immediately understood that Mrs. Qiu had just gotten married, so she probably wanted to get pregnant, so she didn't eat frozen pears.

Then she can enjoy it all by herself. She has always lived in the countryside, but she doesn't eat such a rare fruit as frozen pears. Country people can't get enough to eat, so how can they buy frozen pears?

When the princess saw that it was almost time for people to arrive, she asked people to serve dishes and prepare to start the table.

Except when she first came in, Mrs. Chen said something inappropriate. No one said anything after that, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Only Mrs. Chen was in a bad mood and was secretly annoyed, while the others seemed to be in a good mood. Even the one next to Mrs. Chen could still smile at her now, which made her a little confused.

So people were unintentional in the first place? I was just curious, so I called her name and said she was different from the rumors?

If you don't understand it, you don't want it. She is not gold, and it is impossible for everyone to like her. For those who don't like her, and she doesn't like it, it's better to stay away.

"Come on, I would like to offer a toast to all the ladies and thank you for coming to the Plum Garden today. Today I am just the owner of the Plum Garden, not the princess, everyone just have a good time."

Let's all raise a glass and drink it all together.

The lady who was good at drinking also took the opportunity to return the concubine's wine.

The lady who dared to come forward to toast is also familiar to the princess, and has been dealing with it for many years. The lady who had no confidence did not dare to come forward to make a toast.

While eating, Pei Xiu listened to the princess laughing and scolding: "Don't think about getting me drunk again, I will toast everyone, you are good, it's like a battle of wheels, one by one toast to me."

"We are thanking the lady for her hospitality. It is only here every year that you can see such beautiful scenery and taste delicious food."

Since the prince's safe return, the princess's mood has improved day by day. She was also very happy today, and she drank all those who raised a glass to her.

After a few glasses of wine, she couldn't hide the blush on her face, "Ah, no, I'm going to get you drunk again, I'll go to rest for a while, and come back later, I'll leave it to Mrs. Shizi to arrange it first. ."

With a flushed face, the princess supported the maid's hand and went to the backyard to rest.

Pei Xiu looked carefully, the princess' eyes were clear and clear, and she was not drunk at all. She was probably afraid that with her presence, everyone was worried and couldn't let go of playing, so she found an excuse to quit.

Mrs. Shizi is also very familiar with the plum banquet, and the princess is very relieved to arrange it for her. She is already old and should have given up power long ago.

Seeing the young girl sitting restrained, she didn't dare to speak casually like other married women. Mrs. Shizi is also a visitor, and she understands their thoughts, so she does not embarrass them.

She smiled and looked at the girls~ and said generously: "We are all a group of women, chatting and talking about parenting scriptures will inevitably make the girls feel boring. , it's just a girl's choice, it's just to enjoy the scenery, there's no reason to keep the big guys in the house."

After he finished speaking, he also signaled to the eldest daughter behind him to find a friend to play with, instead of following her all the time. It was too cold outside, and she just didn't intend to go out, and then she continued to talk with her friends beside her.

The eldest daughter, Shuhua, was only twelve years old. Seeing that Mrs. Shizi didn't care, she boldly dragged her best friend out. Seeing this, the others also went out to play in twos and threes.

Many people are going to the Meilin Banquet for the first time, and they are also very curious about Merlin.

There were a lot of people right and wrong. Pei Xiu and Mrs. Qiu didn't want to get involved, so they sat steadily and laughed.

Mrs. Yuan, who had smoothed things out before, saw that only the two of them were the youngest left, and asked with a smile, "Why didn't Mrs. Qiu and Mrs. Zhou go out to enjoy the scenery? The Merlin in this garden is still worth seeing."
