Chapter 440： Banquet

Chapter 440 Meeting

Cui Yudie valued appearance the most. Being so humiliated by the person next to her, she couldn't sit still no matter how thick-skinned she was, and immediately hurried back with the person angrily.

Cheng Dongjiang sighed, "My family is unlucky, my family is unlucky! Jiaojiao, your mother is not decent, you have to take care of yourself!"

Cheng Jiaojiao was scolded inexplicably, and her face fell instantly.

Aunt Sun followed Cheng Dongjiang all the way into Yishou Hall, still looking frightened, "Master, why is my sister getting more and more wrong?"

Although Cui Yudie was arrogant and arrogant in the past, she was not so out of tune.

Cheng Dongjiang covered his twitching temples and said: "Perhaps she was severely stimulated yesterday and hasn't recovered yet today. Let her go. In a while, the chef of Yongtai Restaurant will come to your door with ingredients. Cui's virtue I can’t believe it. I’ll leave this matter to you. If you have any questions, report them directly to mother, and she will make the decision.”

He gave the menu to Mrs. Cheng and Aunt Sun, and read it to them several times.

Although they are illiterate, they have their own unique memory methods and quickly memorized the menu.

As soon as Cheng Dongjiang left, Aunt Sun immediately took Mrs. Cheng to the kitchen to wait for the people from Yongtai Restaurant to come over.

This side of the front yard.

Cui Yudie finally managed to clean herself up and come out to meet people, but she was rejected by Cheng Dongjiang again, "Your face is so ugly on the big day. People who don't know better think you don't want to see the princess!"

Cui Yudie was furious, "You hate it when I put on makeup, and you still feel bad after I put it on. What's wrong? Do you think I'm old and drowsy now?"

“Why are you making a fuss if I’m talking to you?” Cheng Dongjiang was speechless. In order not to dwell on this topic anymore, he asked, “Is there anyone from the Cui family coming over today?”

Cui Yudie's face turned even more ugly when she mentioned this, and she said angrily: "I don't care whether they come or not!"

That day Cui Boyuan broke off the relationship with her in front of so many people, and even went to the Yamen to sign a document and stamp it. From that day on, in the eyes of outsiders, she was no longer a member of the Cui family.

If the Cui family hadn't been so heartless, she wouldn't have had to make such a fuss!

The more Cui Yudie thought about it, the angrier she became, and she no longer wanted to talk to Cheng Dongjiang.

The auspicious time has not yet arrived, and guests have already arrived one after another. Some of them are the ladies and ladies who just met Cui Yudie yesterday. It has only been a day, and Cui Yudie's face is so bad that everyone has to murmur in his heart. , and then send someone to inquire quietly.

The wedding team hasn't returned yet, but the bad news about the Cheng family has slowly spread.

Cui Yudie was busy greeting the guests and didn't notice it yet.

Inside the inn.

Wei Guangxian stared at the people of the Wuya tribe slowly pulling the Xuanwu Ding out of the warehouse. As soon as the ox cart moved, everyone's hearts were excited. After today, the Xuanwu Ding belongs to their Qi country! There is no need to look at the expression of envoy Wu Ya in frustration anymore.

Everyone's focus is on the Xuanwu Cauldron, and the other princesses don't even want to take a second look at it.

Princess Wuya’s dowry went out first, and the imperial guards also left.

When Princess Wuya got on the sedan chair, there were only a few people left around her, and she was so angry that she almost took off her hijab on the spot.

The courtesy officer was very persuasive and persuaded her for a long time before he persuaded her to get into the sedan chair.

However, something went wrong as soon as the sedan chair arrived at the Cheng Mansion. She was stuck a hundred meters away from the Cheng Mansion gate, unable to get even half an inch in.

"What's going on?" The angry Princess Wuya raised her head and looked at the bearer outside with blazing eyes.

The bearer replied weakly: "Princess, your dowry Xuanwu Ding is too big, and the Cheng family's gate is too small to enter!" Princess Wuya: "..." How dare such a small family want to marry her? , what a joke!

"Go! Tell the people in the Cheng Mansion to open a new door. If my princess's dowry cannot come in, I will not marry!" Princess Wuya said angrily.

The maid was so frightened that she hurried out to spread the message, but she did not dare to mention the words that the princess would not marry.

I don’t know how the maid scared the Cheng family. Immediately, the Cheng family hired some carpenters to saw off the partition between the front door and the side door. They performed a wedding show of tearing down the door for the guests, but it didn’t work for everyone. The well-informed dignitaries widened their eyes and marveled.

When Xuanwu Ding entered the door of Cheng's mansion, the sedan chair was carried directly into the mansion.

Princess Wuya even led the sedan chair across the fire pit. It was the first time for everyone to see such a strange way of entering the bride's house. They had some inexplicable expectations in their hearts, and they didn't know what was going on.

As the sedan chair was being carried into the hall, Cheng Hong cleared his throat and stretched out his hand affectionately, "Princess, please get off the sedan chair."

There was no movement in the sedan chair.

In the hall, everyone's expressions looked a little strange.

Cheng Hong's face froze, he took a deep breath and continued to speak. This time his voice was a little more pleading, "Princess, if you have any requests, just ask me. Whatever I can do, I will do it for you."

“Really?” The person in the sedan finally spoke.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but heard Princess Wuya say unhurriedly: "Then just send me to the new house directly. I am tired and want to rest."

Cheng Hong frowned with dissatisfaction, but did not dare to show it. He only looked at the official for help.

The ceremony officer had no choice but to step forward and persuade her: "Princess, according to the rules of Qi State, you cannot do the courtesy of worshiping in the hall. If your name is not legitimate, you will be embarrassed in the Cheng Mansion in the future, which will not be beneficial to you."

“It’s so annoying! You have so many things to do!” Princess Wuya scolded in a bad tone, suddenly opened the curtain of the sedan chair, and stood up.

The ceremony officer ignored the ugly faces of everyone in the Cheng family and shouted, "The princess consort is here to pay her respects!"

The wonderful ceremony ended because of Princess Wuya's perfunctory behavior.

 Cui Yudie was severely slapped in the face, and the smile that she managed to maintain finally lost its hold and sank.

Cheng Jiaojiao whispered from the side: "Mom, calm down! Think about the Xuanwu Cauldron!"

Cui Yudie slowly closed her eyes, for Xuanwu Ding, she endured it!

The princess and the consort entered the new house, and the banquet began.

Cheng Jiaojiao said enthusiastically: "Auntie, let's go! Let's go out to eat too and see what these seven hundred and fifty taels of banquets look like. If the other party dares to fool us,"

Cui Yudie understood immediately and immediately followed her daughter out. She sat down and stayed still in the name of greeting the guests.

When all the dishes were served, she was also observing the guests' reactions. The first few dishes were all decent, just ordinary meat dishes. It seemed that the nobles didn't use their chopsticks much.

Cui Yudie wanted to have a seizure immediately, but was suppressed by Cheng Jiaojiao.

Soon a dish of braised sea cucumbers with green onions was served, and almost all the guests used their chopsticks, not to mention Cui Yudie and Cheng Jiaojiao, who would definitely not be at a loss for themselves. They took a bite and then paid attention to the reactions of others, and they heard The lady next to me said: "Mrs. Cheng, your family must have hired the chef from Yongtai Restaurant! This braised sea cucumber with green onions tastes exactly like theirs."

Cui Yudie was a little embarrassed. She even forgot to ask Cheng Dongjiang which chef he had found. How could he answer the call now? Wouldn't it be embarrassing if it wasn't?

Just when she was hesitating, another lady spoke up, "It must be the chef of Yongtai Restaurant. I've eaten there many times and I can't be wrong!"
