Chapter 668 Jia.Model.Yin is online!
The Marquis couldn't help but smile, "Of course it's the Wanshou Festival. We'll go to the palace for a banquet the day after tomorrow. Aren't you going to the pastry shop to prepare a birthday cake tomorrow and staying at the Marquis Mansion tonight?"
“Oh, I forgot!” Jiayin stared in surprise.
I have been having a lot of fun these past few days, and I have to catch up on my homework in the space at night, but I have completely forgotten such a big thing.
Master Hou took her hand, entered the house, saluted Mrs. Li, gave a few brief instructions and then returned to his yard.
Mrs. Jia Er was accompanying Mrs. Li to do needlework and gossip. Seeing this, she guessed that the Marquis was going to have dinner here at noon, so she wanted to take the orb and leave quickly.
Although Baozhu was mostly full after eating, he was reluctant to part with the good news.
Jiayin said: "Didn't you say that Sister Wan'er's brother always wants to play among the white clouds? I will stay in the shop most of the day tomorrow, why don't you bring him to play?"
"Really? That's great!" Baozhu was easily coaxed into happiness. Le Diandian said goodbye to her mother and hurried to her uncle's house to tell her cousin the good news.
Wan'er put down the soup bowl and went back to Wen's house.
In this way, after the meal was ready, Shuiling went to invite the Marquis over.
There is no need to avoid suspicion among your own family members.
Even though brothers Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si were not at home, Mrs. Li took the main seat, Tao Hongying and Wen Juan also sat on one side, and Jiayin and Hou Ye sat on the other side, chatting and eating in a lively manner. opened.
Mrs. Li was worried that her granddaughter would be bullied when she entered the palace, so she gave many instructions to the Marquis.
Mr. Hou was not bothered and responded one by one. In the end, Mrs. Li was embarrassed.
“Master Marquis, don’t blame me for nagging, it’s really the child Fu Niuer who suffered a loss in the palace last time, and the family feels very sorry for her.
"If the emperor hadn't treated Fu Niu'er so well and she had the title of princess, the family would have really not wanted her to enter the palace."
The Marquis nodded and said: "Don't worry, Auntie. I will take Fu Niu'er to see the emperor the day after tomorrow, and then ask the emperor to send a **** to follow him to Shoukang Palace. In this way, even if someone has ill intentions in his heart, he will not dare to embarrass Fu Niu'er. ”
"Okay, this is best." Old Mrs. Li responded, "I'll ask Nanny He to follow her into the palace later. She was born in the palace and is more familiar with the rules of the palace than others."
Mammy He happened to be waiting on the side and replied directly: "If the old lady doesn't say anything, the old slave has to take the initiative to ask for orders.
“But don’t worry, old lady, the princess has learned the rules very well. Now she has memorized and become familiar with the maps of each family. She must be able to handle even the smallest problems.”
After that, she added: "If the old lady is still not at ease, then let Shui Ling and Shui Yun follow. The old slave just took the opportunity to chat with the old sisters in the palace. Hear about the past year and a half in the palace. If there are any taboos, let the princess avoid them."
“Okay, you are familiar with this matter, so I’ll leave it to you to arrange it.” Old Mrs. Li directly delegated the power and said: “In a moment, you can help me see what clothes Fu Niuer wears and what jewelry she wears.
“After all, it’s a palace banquet. We don’t want to be high-profile and eye-catching, but we can’t make it too shabby to make people look down on us.”
“Yes, old lady.” Grandma He responded with a smile.
With this excuse, after dinner, the Marquis returned home.
The door to the Li family was closed, and the old and young ladies gathered together and started chattering.
A month ago, the chief steward of the Marquis Mansion asked the embroiderer in the mansion to prepare new clothes for the princess.
There are four sets in total, hanging in the closet.
Each set is carefully made by the embroiderer, and everyone is dazzled.
In the end, it was the old lady who made the decision, ordering a goose yellow brocade slant-breasted jacket, paired with a fruit green pleated skirt and a pair of gold-embroidered deerskin boots.
It would be perfect if paired with a white fox fur cloak.
Because Jiayin is still young, it is not suitable to wear too many jewelry, which would be too conspicuous.
So, it is enough to wear a gold wire hair ring inlaid with red coral pearls on your head and a lucky and lucky Liufu red gold lock on your chest.
Jiayin responded to everyone's request and put on all her clothes and jewelry. Even Grandma He quickly rearranged her hair. Mrs. Li, Tao Hongying and others looked at the fat girl from head to toe, and felt relieved that nothing was missing.
Jia.Model.Yin has been struggling for most of an hour, and she can finally take a break.
She lay on the kang and pretended to be dead, not even wanting to lift a finger.
Tao Hongying smiled and hit her daughter on the head, scolding: "Stop being such a scumbag! You just stretched out your hand to be a scarecrow, and the rest was taken care of, so you're tired. Forget it at home, you have to look good when you go out. .
“It’s okay if you lose your face. Our Li family comes from a humble background, and we are not afraid of people saying that our children are unruly. But you are following the Marquis this time, so you don’t want to embarrass the Marquis. Do you understand?
“The Marquis earned his reputation at the risk of his life. You can’t add glory to his face, and you definitely can’t discredit him!”
"I know, mother!" Jiayin rubbed her mother's neck, showing off her rare act of coquettishness, "Oh, my mother is so sensible, no wonder she can teach such a good girl like me!"
Tao Hongying was so amused that she kept laughing and slapped her daughter again, "Are you praising me or yourself?!"
Everyone also laughed and chatted, while their men were busy arranging their clothes and jewelry.
The cold wind is howling outside and the night is deep, but it is warm and cozy inside...
Early on the next morning, the Marquis got into the carriage with the good news and went directly into the city.
Li Laoer and Mr. Wen have been very busy these days and did not come back last night.
So, after the carriage brought the good news to Baiyunjian, the Marquis went to the Yamen of the Ministry of War.
Chen Xi and Shopkeeper Peng have been waiting for their boss for the past two days so much that their eyes have reached the city gate.
Finally meeting his boss, they hurried forward to greet him and asked questions.
Speaking of which, they had made small cakes before and sent them to the emperor, but the birthday cake they were preparing this time was different.
Six floors, a whole six floors!
Chen Xiguang drew seven or eight versions of the design!
Jiayin actually doesn’t care about the pattern and meaning of the cake, because any version is definitely festive.
She is more worried about safety issues.
Uncle Huang must be very happy to see such a big cake, so he will naturally share it with the people at the banquet.
It would be a bad thing if something goes wrong with the food.
In fact, the best way to avoid trouble is not to send cakes or other mouth-watering things.
It’s a pity that Baiyunjian is so famous and birthday cakes have become so popular that everyone knows about it.
It is simply unreasonable to celebrate the birthday of the great master, the Emperor, without putting one on the table!
Fortunately, she has the cheating artifact of Space!
The front yard of the small courtyard is just a static space. Whatever you put in it will look the same when you take it out.
Jiayin thought for a while and then said: "Master Chen, you first make two six-layer cakes to practice your skills. Of course, the materials are rare, but it is better to make them better. Let's see the effect first.
“If there is no problem, we will do the same thing when we get up tomorrow morning, and then we will send him directly to the palace.”
“Yes, boss.” Chen Xi responded quickly.
Jiayin then told Shopkeeper Peng, “That’s it for today, but the ingredients that will be used tomorrow morning must be strictly inspected, and there can be no mistakes, otherwise everyone will lose their heads!
"The masters and boys in the yard are not allowed to leave the shop tonight. They will resume walking after the cake is delivered to the palace tomorrow."
"Yes, boss, don't worry, I don't have to worry about it. I didn't let everyone go home yesterday. They were in the shop the whole time."
Shopkeeper Peng is a royal servant, but he has heard of too many troubles caused by eating.
So, ever since he knew that his shop was going to send a birthday cake to the palace, he had been very energetic...
