My whole family has crossed with Goldfinger

Chapter 548 Chapter 548: Hosting a Banquet

On August 25th, the Xu family held an osmanthus banquet, and the entire Yiyang Mansion was a bit more lively than usual.

Early in the morning, Yunbei Street, the only road leading to Xin'anfang, was full of traffic. Horse-drawn carriages were queuing up, all going to Xin'anfang. There were too many vehicles and the street was blocked. After half a session, it still doesn’t work.

Nowadays, in Yiyang Prefecture and even in the entire Qingzhou, who doesn’t know about the Xu family?Didn’t you know that the Xu family gave birth to a Jiacheng County Lord and an Uncle Zhongyi?

When the Xu family holds a banquet, people are naturally eager to go. Unfortunately, the Xu family does not post messages for everyone.

Therefore, the people who received the invitations looked particularly different.

Of course, we also attach great importance to this.

As soon as they received the invitation, many people hurriedly called the cloth shop to come into the house. They were very busy choosing materials to make new clothes.

In just a few days, all the well-known cloth shops in the city almost broke their legs and hands.

The side door of Xu Mansion opened, and there was a lot of excitement in front of the door. The clever young man was responsible for receiving the carriages and horses, and the butler stood at the door to welcome the guests with a smile.

Carriages stopped in front of the door. The people in the carriages got off the carriages and went inside. A young boy with a loud voice was in charge of the roll call.

"Master Zhou Mu is here with his family!"

"Master Ye is here with his family!"

"Dong Qianhu has arrived with his family!"

"Commander Yang is here with his family!"

"."

When the male guests entered the side door, they were greeted by Xu Dajun, who was also in high spirits in new clothes, and went to the Rongshi Hall in the outer courtyard where Jin'er specially entertained male guests.

Inside, Xu Chunshan, the loyal uncle, was waiting for the guests to come. After greeting him with a smile, he asked all the guests to sit down and talk without being polite.

Regardless of whether it is Jiang Zhoumu, Prefect Ye or Commander Yang, when they meet Xu Chunshan now, they must be respectful and polite.

Even if Xu Chunshan, Uncle Zhongyi, is second-class, his rank is above them.

The female guests were greeted by Mr. Huang and continued into the inner courtyard.

In the Qingfeng Xiaozhu in the backyard, there are many osmanthus trees planted in the courtyard. It is the time when the osmanthus is blooming. The whole backyard is filled with the fragrant osmanthus fragrance, and the fragrance in Qingfeng Xiaozhu is even stronger.

A group of ladies headed by Mrs. Lu, the wife of Zhou Mu, naturally wanted to greet Zhang Xiulan, Mrs. Zhongyi Bo.

Likewise, there is Xu Yinyin, the head of Jiacheng County.

After saluting and saying hello, Zhang Xiulan greeted everyone to sit down with a smile.

She entertained ladies on the first floor, while Xu Yinyin entertained a group of girls on the second floor. With the windows open, they could all see the sweet-scented osmanthus in full bloom in the courtyard.

Enjoy the flowers, smell the fragrance, eat refreshments, and chat. This is the banquet.

When Zhang Xiulan and Xu Yinyin were in the capital, they often attended various banquets and held several banquets. Even Zhang Xiulan was not timid at all in today's situation. She was good at dancing among a group of noble ladies and was able to dance with ease.

Even the Duke's wife and Mrs. Yipin Gaoming have spoken and drank tea. Now this small scene cannot be suppressed.

Even if they can't calm down, they can't keep the situation cold. Everyone is here to make friends with the Xu family. Everyone is actively catering to Zhang Xiulan's words. How can they let the words fall to the ground?

There was a lot of fun talking downstairs, and naturally the same was true upstairs.

Except for Tao Dehui, who was about to get married, the younger sisters Dong Qinghua, Fang Youqin, and Liu Yinyin were all here, and they were chatting in a leisurely manner.

Then there are the girls from the Ye family, the girls from the Jiang family, and the girls from the Yang family. All the little girls are here to curry favor with Xu Yinyin. No one without a wink would cause trouble at the Xu family's banquet.

Xu Yinyin has always been good at talking, and she can have a good conversation among all the ladies, let alone these little girls.For a while, it was also enjoyable.

When the Xu family returns to Yiyang Mansion, they may only hold such a banquet. Today is destined to be a feast for the guests and hosts.

While admiring the flowers, chatting and having tea, Xu Yinyin and a group of girls played games upstairs.

The morning passed quickly, and noon was approaching, and the Xu family had already prepared a lunch to entertain the guests.

Of course, the male guests and the female guests still enjoyed the banquet separately. The male guests were still in the Rongshi Hall, while the female guests moved to the large flower hall in the inner courtyard.

Xu Yinyin was inviting the girls to taste the special sparkling fruit wine. The taste of the fruit wine immediately received unanimous praise from the girls, and the girls started to praise it.

At this stall, Mrs. Huang hurried in and said, "Madam, County Lord, an angel is here. I want you to go out quickly to receive the order!"

Is there an imperial edict coming?

All the ladies and girls were shocked. How long had it been since the Xu family had been back to Yiyang Mansion?There was an imperial edict. Counting the days, the imperial edict was chased out within two days of the Xu family leaving the capital?

I don’t know what the imperial edict is?

Xu Yinyin was not too surprised. She thought that she had presented all the rice fields in Balizhuang, and the emperor was so pleased that he ordered to reward her.

She knows better than anyone that the rice fields will be highly productive.

Let Xu Yinyin and Zhang Xiulan go out to receive the order. Naturally, they are not the only ones who can do it.

When the imperial edict arrives, who among the people present dares not to welcome it?
At that moment, everyone followed the mother and daughter to the flower hall in front of them.

In the flower hall in front, Xu Chunshan, Xu Dajun and his son were already waiting here with a group of male guests.

When Eunuch Ding, who was holding a fly whisk in his hand, saw Xu Yinyin coming in, he immediately smiled and respectfully greeted the Lord Jiacheng County.

Everyone saw it with their own eyes and gained an additional understanding of how highly respected the Lord of Jiacheng County was.

When everyone arrived, Eunuch Ding immediately picked up the imperial edict held by the young eunuch in both hands and said, "Please accept the edict from the Lord of Jiacheng County."

Immediately, Xu Yinyin took a step forward and knelt down, and then everyone knelt down as well. They were all secretly thinking that it was another imperial edict for Jiacheng County Lord. Gee, Jiacheng County Lord received the edicts so fast that he could not count them with one hand. .

What an honor!
Eunuch Ding unfolded the imperial edict and began to read out, "By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict, saying: I am very pleased with Jiacheng's great contribution to the country in offering high-yield grain seeds to Jiangshan Sheji. I hereby make you the Princess of Jiacheng, and grant Yiyang Mansion as a fief. I hereby express my gratitude to you." !”

Eunuch Ding's high-pitched voice rang out in the silent hall, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

Everyone was shocked. It didn't matter whether the grain was grown or not. What was important was that the emperor made the head of Jiacheng County the princess!

Be good!That is a princess title that can only be made by the daughter of a prince or princess!
In contrast, the fact that Yiyang Mansion was given as a fief for the princess already made everyone not think it was a big deal.

After all, even the princess has been granted an exceptional fiefdom. What does it mean if Yiyang Mansion is a fiefdom? Even if one day, Qingzhou is given as a fiefdom to the princess, they will not be surprised, right?
Xu Yinyin was also extremely surprised. She originally took out this high-quality grain to repay the emperor. She thought that the emperor would just reward her, but she didn't expect that the emperor actually made her the princess.

Princess!
The emperor, the county lord, had a lot of arguments with the old minister before, but this time the princess may have a lot of trouble.

Xu Yinyin was moved in her heart, kowtowed sincerely to express gratitude, and received the imperial edict respectfully with both hands.

As the old saying goes: A scholar dies for a confidant.

The emperor is so wise and so kind to the Xu family. Such an emperor deserves the Xu family's heartfelt support.

It was a good time for their family to meet such a holy king.

If it were another emperor, even if he presented a big weapon like gunpowder, it would be better if he didn't get slapped by the emperor, let alone a reward.

Not every emperor can be so wise.
