Chapter 26 Looking at the present 【Recommendation ticket requested】

On this day, Li's Mansion, located in Guiqili, Dongcheng, was full of traffic.

Many carriages with emblems stopped at the side entrance of Li Mansion in an endless stream.

Today is the fiftieth birthday of Mr. Li, one of the five surnames and the patriarch of the Li family in Longxi.

Fifty knows the destiny, at this age, it is already the age to earn every day you live.

Therefore, the filial sons and grandsons of the Li family began to make arrangements three months ago.

Three days ago, Li's residence had already held a birthday banquet, and members of the Li family came to celebrate Grandpa Li's birthday.

And on today's official day, there will be a feast of guests, and some well-known people in the capital will come to celebrate Mrs. Li's birthday.

Jiang Yuanxi followed Zheng Youniang, and first went to greet Madam Li, while the children of the Jiang family followed Taifu Jiang and the others to the front yard.

For Mrs. Li's birthday banquet, many handsome young people are gearing up, ready to make a big splash, and let these bigwigs in the court see their talents.

This is important!

Now to enter the court as an official, the only way is through election.

If you can get into the eyes of Jiuqing and let Jiuqing recommend, the starting point is at least a sixth rank, and it is not impossible to expect Jiuqing to be in the future.

For the Taiwei's [-]th birthday, other officials from all over the world came to join him. How could such a grand event miss the opportunity for the young man to show off?
Not only that, the noble daughters of the aristocratic families will also appear, firstly, this is an opportunity to observe the upright young man, and secondly, this is also a good time to make himself famous.

Don't think that a noble girl from an aristocratic family doesn't need a stage to show herself. If there is no stage, who knows which onion you are?And how do you know which family's noble daughter can be a wife?
Therefore, after greeting Mrs. Li, Jiang Yuanxi followed his elder sister and others to the garden.

In the garden, there are already many people sitting on the ground in twos and threes. You can see the gentleman and the lady sitting opposite each other everywhere.

More than ten years ago, the world was full of wars, rituals collapsed and music was broken. Today, the sturdy folk customs inherited from the Qin and Han Dynasties still affect all aspects. Among them, women can't help but play polo on horseback, and men and women are not very strong in defense.

Jiang Yuanxi has good eyesight, so he saw Cui Yaniang at a glance, talked to his sister-in-law, and went to find her.

"Wu Niang, come and sit down, come and taste the dim sum of Li's Mansion. I heard that this is a new variety developed by the chef after a lot of effort."

Cui Yaniang waited for Jiang Yuanxi to sit down, and immediately pushed the plate of snacks on the table in front of her.

At the same time, she sighed enviously, "I'm going to add another recipe to Mrs. Li's."

It was rare for Jiang Yuanxi to see Cui Yaniang praising something so highly. One of the five surnames, the Qinghe Cui family was at the same level as the Longxi Li family. This praise made Jiang Yuanxi curious.

Looking down, what caught her eyelids were four crystal clear dumplings. The most surprising thing was that there was a pink cherry blossom inside the crystal clear dumplings.

At this time of March, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the place where they are located is also surrounded by cherry blossom trees. Sitting under the cherry blossom trees and eating this snack is not only suitable for the occasion, but also eye-catching.

Jiang Yuanxi picked up the chopsticks, picked up a small dumpling, put it in his mouth, and tasted it slowly with his eyes closed.

After a while, Jiang Yuanxi opened his eyes and praised: "The taste is really good, the taste is full of elasticity, sweet but not greasy, and it also has the fragrance of cherry blossoms, which lingers on the mouth. What's more, I tasted a little cold breath , I think this dessert should be taken from ice cubes, the cook of the Li family is really kind, but I don’t know what the name of this dessert is.”

"It's called Moshang Fen, but it's a pity that I don't know what material the Li family cook uses. Otherwise, it wouldn't be difficult for the cook at home to learn how to make it."

Cui Yaniang felt sorry, and ate another piece of Moshang powder.

Not only Jiang Yuanxi praised this new dim sum, but also other places.

In a desk seat on the west side of the garden here, there is a girl in a tulle skirt, listening to others' praise for the dessert in front of her, with a slight mocking arc on her mouth.

The vermilion lips parted slightly, and the voice came out of her mouth like a mosquito, "I don't know what kind of dim sum is so good, but it's just dim sum that can be made with arrowroot powder, so they can get praises, these people really have little knowledge Short, short-sighted.

It seems that the people of the Northern Liang Dynasty are nothing more than that. If I make a cake, won't I be worshiped by these people?

Sure enough, the ancient people were ignorant and dull, and I may not be able to become the second Empress Lu in the future. "

Her voice was full of confidence and pride, and also carried an aura of looking down on the world.

"puff"

"Who is that over there? Why don't you even understand the most basic etiquette?"

A voice with a contemptuous smile entered the girl's ears. She didn't take it seriously, and continued to immerse herself in her plan, constantly perfecting her next plan in her mind.

"That's right, why would someone sit cross-legged on the floor? It's so indecent, it looks like he was born with mud legs."

"Look at what she's wearing, it should be twisted silk. It's only March, and Fangfei is wearing twisted silk. She's really shameless."

The twisted silk is thin and light, and the noble ladies in the capital usually don’t start to wear this kind of silk until the hot summer in June. After all, the twisted silk is complicated and complicated, and one piece costs three gold. Twisted silk.

Therefore, the person who said this actually had a hint of jealousy.

Gu Yidan was deaf to what was going on outside the window. When she first heard someone comment on her sitting posture, she didn't know that she was talking about her. ?

She turned her head sideways following the voice, and saw two young girls sitting side by side at a glance. Seeing her look, the two girls not only did not feel ashamed of being caught, but held round fans and faced her with half-smiles See.

Gu Yidan sneered, with strong sarcasm in his eyes and provocation on his face, he uttered a few words softly, "The frog at the bottom of the well cannot be compared with it."

Her voice was neither high nor low, enough for the two girls to hear. In an instant, their faces turned red, and their beautiful eyes stared at Gu Yidan angrily.

Gu Yidan snorted softly, turned his head as if nothing had happened, and carefully observed the sitting postures of the others.

Just now, those two people were full of contempt, which caught her heart. Although she felt that the two of them might not be able to match her with a single finger, people always hope that they are more perfect.

When he saw that other people were sitting in squats, Gu Yidan frowned slightly, looked down at his legs sitting cross-legged, and muttered, "Aren't those people afraid of carrot legs?"

Having said that, Gu Yidan could not help but quietly imitate the others and sat on the table.

"My ladies and gentlemen, it's too boring to just sit here. Since it's Li Taiwei's birthday banquet, why don't we add excitement to Li Taiwei's birthday?"

Hearing this person's words, everyone present straightened their backs unconsciously, and many people began to gear up.
