Chapter 902 The reason for the plum feast
There are still six days to go before the Chinese New Year, no matter which mansion it is at this time, they are all so busy that they are delivering New Year's goods and preparing to dust off the New Year!
It stands to reason that no one would hold a banquet at this juncture. Even if someone held a banquet at this time, inviting people to a table or something, if they have no status, at most they would be too polite to be attended to, or It is enough to send the capable mother or steward of the family to go and sue for a crime.

But Mrs. Ji's plum appreciation banquet is different. The reason is that Ji's family has retired for many years, leaving only two young sons to grow up in Beijing. reputation...

But even so, there are still many people who want to cling to Ji's family and embrace this big tree!

Especially those who want to go further and become close ministers of the emperor, this time they all told their wives to make good friends with the wives of Ji's family, and to please Mrs. Ji's love, especially the eldest princess's blue eyes. Looking for a chance to please her!

"Husband, don't worry, isn't it just a child? I can deal with children very well!"

Before Mrs. Ting Shenghou left the door, she was really annoyed by her master Hou's nagging, so she rolled her eyes at him impatiently and said.

"Oh madam! Don't be impatient! You should think deeply about everything!
Just think about it for your granddaughter Ah Ning, if she can also win the favor of Chang Rongshun and the eldest princess like Xie Pan'er, and then take the opportunity to contact His Majesty, then our Shi family's opportunity will come! "

As an aristocratic family, if they don't advance, they will retreat. The younger generation of men in their Shi family don't have outstanding children. If they want to keep the lintel, the only way is to let their granddaughter enter the palace!
"Understood! Don't worry, the eldest daughter-in-law and I have already talked about this matter. We will take Ah Ning to this banquet, and let her find opportunities to get close to Chang Rongshun and the eldest princess!"

Mrs. Ting Shenghou said that and went out!

On the other side of the prime minister's mansion, Prime Minister Song and his wife were also talking about it.

"My daughter is not young anymore. I don't think she is too enthusiastic about entering the palace. Madam might as well check out Mrs. Ji this time to see if we, Yingxue, can get married with the young master of Ji's family?"

Mrs. Song's eyes widened when she heard Xiang Xiang's words.

She said in surprise. "Master Xiang actually has the idea of ​​marrying Ji's family?"

"The Ji family has four unmarried children. Among them, we don't know the situation of the fourth and sixth children, but the seventh and eighth children have a bright future!

Whether it's the seventh child or the eighth child of the Ji family, as long as it's possible for Yingxue to be with us, Madam should try her best to make it happen! "

"Unexpectedly, Master Xiang would have such a great evaluation of the two sons of the Ji family!"

After saying this, Mrs. Song couldn't help but shook her head and laughed, "The two sons of the Ji family really have both ability and political integrity, especially Ji Youze, who will definitely be among the top three in the coming year. It can be regarded as a great help! Master Xiang will definitely get twice the result with half the effort in the court!"

Mrs. Song said this, and hurriedly assured Song Xiang that she would definitely be able to make this marriage happen! "

Mrs. Song took her daughter to Ji's house.

In this plum appreciation feast hosted by Mrs. Ji, the most disgusting people are not the government of the town and the

The Xie family of the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple.

The Duke of Zhen's mansion is disgusted. That's because when the wife of the Duke of Zhen went to Ji's family for help a few days ago, she didn't get a good face from Ji's family. Not to mention, she even had a few words with the third wife of Ji's family and got angry. back.

Mrs. Zhen Guogong naturally received the post for today's plum feast, she didn't want to go, but the emperor ordered Xiao Ning'er to be released the next day after she came back from Ji's house!

Mrs. Zhen Guogong is not sure if there is any handwriting of Ji's family in it!
"Grandpa, I don't want to go to that Ji's house to look for it, or I can tell the eldest daughter-in-law to go there by herself!"

The eldest son of the Duke of Zhen only got married in the early summer of this year. The wife of the Duke of Zhen is gentle and introverted.

"The eldest daughter-in-law is not good at communication. If you don't go with her personally, it will be bad if she offends someone if she can't speak. Besides, Mrs. Ting Shenghou's family is personally accompanied by Mrs. Ting Shenghou. There is also granddaughter going, if you don't go to our Duke's Mansion, wouldn't it appear that you don't pay attention to the Ji Mansion?"

As soon as Mr. Zhen Guo said this, Mr. Zhen Guo had nothing to say, so he could only set off with his daughter-in-law and daughter.

Another most disgusting Xie family in Guanglu Temple.

Mrs. Xie was dressed neatly and walked out of her yard accompanied by the nurse beside her.

Xie Yingying trotted over, "Grandmother! The granddaughter of the Ji family's plum appreciation banquet is also going!"

Mrs. Xie frowned when she heard this!
"Madam Ji didn't invite you, what are you going to do?"

"I... I heard that those wives brought their ladies with them, grandma! I also heard that Princess Lianchun might also go to the Ji family's plum appreciation banquet this time, and her granddaughter will go, If we can make friends with Princess Lianchun, then we can use the advantage of Princess Lianchun to enter the palace, it will also give our Xie family a glorious lintel, won't it?"

Mrs. Xie heard Xie Yingying's words, thought twice, and decided to take her along.

"Getting into the carriage, the nurse next to Mrs. Xie asked in a low voice: "Doesn't the old lady know that Ji's family didn't invite our young lady?Why do you still take her to Ji's house? "

"This girl has a big heart, and she only wants the glory and wealth in the palace. Besides, she is born with a phoenix, and the whole capital knows about it.

If she didn't enter the palace, no one would dare to marry her. "

"Hey! After all, the old lady loves the eldest lady. Our eldest lady's marriage was ruined by the eldest lady. If the eldest lady did not do something wrong, now our eldest lady..."

"Okay! Don't mention Lin's in the future, Yingying has her own fortune!"

When mentioning Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Xie couldn't help but itch her teeth with hatred, but she had to press it down forcefully, because no matter what, Mrs. Lin is a daughter of the Lin family. If this matter can't be handled properly, If you offend the Lin family, then the Xie family will offend the Lin family!
Even now, her eldest sons are still trying to find a way to bring Mrs. Lin back from the family temple!
"Old madam! I don't know if I should say something or not!"

Mammy's question made Mrs. Xie look up at her involuntarily.

"If you really think you can't say it, you won't say it!"

As a master and servant who have been together for decades, Mrs. Xie naturally understands the thoughts of this nanny beside her!
"After receiving Mrs. Ji's post, I asked around. I heard that other people's posts stated that they would bring their daughters to this banquet, but your post did not specify that You bring the daughter of your family to the banquet!"

Mrs. Xie couldn't help closing her eyes when she heard the words, and it took a long time before she whispered, "Did you inquire about something else?"

Hearing this question, Mammy was a little afraid to speak.

"But it doesn't matter!"

"Yes! I heard that the old slave also attended the banquet over there, not only the fifth lady, but also the fifth master. Mr. Xie Si also went with him."

"What? It turned out to be a family dinner?"

Mrs. Xie couldn't help sitting up straight, feeling a little uneasy instinctively.

"Yes! The day before yesterday, Xie Si was released from the sky prison. It has only been two days since he was released. I heard that he got the favor of Wei Taifu in the sky prison. Now he has become Wei Taifu's closed disciple. This Ji family Could it be because of Wei Taifu's face that he was invited?"

Mrs. Xie was holding the Buddhist beads in her hand, and she pushed them one after another, and then said in a low voice, "There are indeed some unusual things! After you arrive at Ji's house, you should inquire about it and see how many families invited Xie Si and his son. Why are you here?"

"Yes!"

The carriage rattled to the gate of the Ji Mansion, and the place was already full of traffic.

You must know that in the past, the street where the Ji Mansion is located is the most deserted, but today, carriages come in and go out one after another, and many people are forced to get out of the car and walk to the Ji Mansion before reaching the gate of the Ji Mansion. The government is gone.

"Miss, I heard that the seventh son of the Ji family has invited many young talents to come. Tell me, did your brother Xie also come with you?"

Tweety and her young lady got out of the car far away, and they walked and chatted all the way.

Wei Wei'er thought of Xie Si, and a smile appeared on her cheek involuntarily!

"Senior Brother Xie will come, not only Senior Brother Xie, but also Senior Brother Xie's parents, all came together!"

"Ah! Miss, how do you know? I don't even know about it, but you know it. Come on, tell me, do you and Mr. Xie Si have any secrets?"

Cui'er was overwhelmed with surprise when she heard what Wei Wei'er said, and immediately asked questions.

Wei Wei'er's small face changed instantly when she heard the words, and she couldn't help but glared at her and said.

"Look what you said? What secrets can I have with him?
Didn't it just two days ago when Dad announced at home that he was going to be accepted as a closed disciple, I asked about it, and he just told me. "

"So this is ah!
However, I heard that Mr. Xie Si's father has inconvenient legs and feet. Do you think his father will come on such a grand occasion as Ji's family? "

"I will definitely come. I heard that the banquet held by Madam Ji today is for Xie Pan'er, brother's sister. It is related to my daughter. A father must also hope for his daughter's happiness!"

"Miss is very reasonable!"

Wei Wei'er and Cui'er arrived at the gate of Ji's house while they were talking.

The people who greet relatives and friends at the door today are Ji Youcheng and his wife.

Don't ask why they are husband and wife, but they are in business, so they are the most suitable for welcoming guests!
"Taifu's Mansion, Wei Weier!"

Cui'er handed the post to Zhu Xiuxiu, and Zhu Xiuxiu took a look at the post, and there stood a young girl in her twenties and eight years in front of her.

The girl was bright and charming, with a smile on her face, "Little girl Wei Weier, I have met the third lady!"

"Miss Wei, please come inside!"

Zhu Xiuxiu hurriedly asked the little maid to lead their master and servant to the banquet.

As soon as the little maid led Wei Weier's master and servant to the yard, before the banquet, Wei Weier started talking to the little maid.

"Sister, may I ask which young talents have been invited for this plum appreciation feast?"

The little maid who leads the way is experienced, and she leads the way today, I don't know how many people have inquired about the seventh and eighth sons of their family!
"The plum appreciating banquet in our Ji Mansion is hosted by our old lady, but the host is our third lady.

The people our old lady invited this time are mainly the wives and ladies in Beijing!

Our seventh son also invited some young talents, but we didn't invite a few, only five or six.

The seats for this banquet are all arranged in the back garden of the mansion, with a small area separated by a screen for the seats of young talents!
Miss Wei, don't take the wrong seat when the time comes! "

The little maid pointedly introduced the seats!
Wei Weier's master and servant naturally understood what she meant!
"Thank you sister for reminding me! May I ask where Mrs. Ji is? Weier wants to go and say hello to Mrs. Ji!"

"The old lady is getting old, and I'm enjoying the flowers with a few old ladies at the Houning Fragrance Garden. Our old lady has ordered that if there are any ladies who want to go there to enjoy the fire and wait for the banquet, let us lead the way!"

"Hey! What a coincidence, we just happen to be together! Hurry up and lead the way!"

As soon as the little maid finished speaking, the voice of Princess Lianchun came from the side.

"Princess Lianchun! I have seen the princess for a thousand years!" The little maid hurriedly saluted and greeted Princess Lianchun.

"Forget it! Yu'er, hurry up and lead the way, Pan'er and I will go to the old lady to say hello, and then we can go back to the yard and change our clothes!"

Princess Lianchun has also lived in Ji's family for a while, and is familiar with the people and things of Ji's family.

Yu'er was not surprised at all, and quickly answered "Yes", and took Princess Lianchun, Xie Pan'er, and Wei Weier's master and servant to Ningxiang Garden together!

At this time, in the Ningxiang Garden, the plum blossoms in a yard are blooming very well. These plum blossoms were bought temporarily by Ji Laosan at a high price. There is no way, the old lady suddenly wants to hold a banquet, and she calls it plum blossom appreciation Banquet, he has to find a way as an unfilial son!

Mrs. Ji has been away from Beijing for ten years. Although there are not many acquaintances in this capital, there are quite a few, such as the old Mrs. Xie's who she once visited!
There is also Mrs. Zhen Guogong who choked with Zhu Xiuxiu in Ji's mansion a few days ago, and Mrs. Ting Shenghou who is about the same age as Mrs. Ji.

At this moment, they are all sitting in this small courtyard with Mrs. Ji, gossiping together!
"I never thought that with your quiet nature, you would suddenly make such a big commotion.

Could it be that you have spent so much trouble for the marriage of the eighth and seventh sons! "

Mrs. Ting Shenghou sat on the left and right of Mrs. Ji, laughing at her words!

Mrs. Ji laughed when she heard the words, "It's really a lot of trouble for me today, but there is also a happy event that I want to announce, and I want to invite everyone to witness it."

After hearing Mrs. Ji's words, those present couldn't help pricking up their ears even more, wondering in their hearts, a happy event for Ji's family?
What is the happy event that the Ji family is going to announce suddenly at this time?
