1664 Banquet
"You leave these matters to A Zuo and Kou Dan Kou Hai, the three of them know what to do!" Seeing her sad look, Qin Yuzhi hurriedly said.
Qin Yuzhi agreed to hand it over to A Zuo and Kou Dan Kou Hai, because he knew that the three of them had this ability, and when Gu Xiaowan let them go to deal with it, the three of them did it quietly impressive.
When they came to report to Gu Xiaowan from time to time, they were able to express their own unique insights, and they carefully observed many of Gu Xiaowan's careless points.
But based on these two points, Gu Xiaowan let the three of them make arrangements without worry.
After ten days, it will be the seventeenth of November, and it is written in the almanac that it is appropriate to hold a banquet.
The invitations that Gu Xiaowan handed out also said that there will be a banquet on November 17th. In the morning of that day, Gu Xiaowan got up as soon as it was slightly bright.
She is the protagonist today, so naturally she has to dress up well, so as not to make others feel slighted.
Under Kou Dan's excellent craftsmanship, the three thousand black silk like black jade was tied into a flying fairy bun, with dozens of snow-white and round pearls dotted in it, making the black hair more soft, shiny and moist. A jasper exquisite walker carved with clear lotus was inserted behind the head, and the thin tassels adorned with it moved along with it, making a pleasant ring pendant sound.
A white cotton-padded brocade dress with silver thread trim on the skirt and cuffs, embroidered dark green complex patterns on the cuffs, large dark green lotuses embroidered on the skirt, and a tie tied around the waist. The green belt accentuates her slender figure, which is plump and slim.
A dark green fox fur cloak was draped over her body, and the white dress matched the dark green fox fur cloak, making her look even more dignified and elegant.
The white jade bracelet is worn on the jade-like wrist, with every gesture, the white jade bracelet slides down with the wrist, it is hard to tell whether it is the white wrist or the jade bracelet!
After Gu Xiaowan led everyone to check the things they needed today, she felt that everything was safe, so she gave up.
Because there are not so many servants in the family, five or six staff were transferred from Jinfu Building to work in the kitchen, and the door was busy in the kitchen.
Except for A Zuo and Kou Dan who followed Gu Xiaowan every step of the way, the other followed the whole process of the banquet.
Even Gu Xiaoyi is considered half master and half servant today, managing the banquet together.
Tan Yushu and Fang Peiya also brought their maidservants, and a few more, to help Gu Xiaowan.
As time passed, the ladies who received the invitations also came one after another.
Looking at the legendary Qingyuan, although the decoration inside is not luxurious, it is still calm and noble. This Qingyuan was hidden in the past, but now, it is still like a cloud that cannot be removed, revealing secrets.
Liu Siyi and Liu Xueying were the first to arrive.
Because Gu Xiaowan's status is no longer the same, now when ordinary women see her, they all want to bow down, and Gu Xiaowan didn't hold it. Anyway, she came here anyway.
Liu Siyi met Gu Xiaowan in the yard. It's late autumn now, and it's almost midwinter. There are no more flowers, plants and green leaves in the yard of any household, and Gu Xiaowan doesn't have as many rare treasures as the Ming Palace. The different trees were for everyone to watch, and she thought for a long time before choosing the Shuangfeng Courtyard in the Qing Garden.
Shuangfengyuan, as the name suggests, is naturally a place to watch maple leaves.
It is late autumn at this moment, and the leaves of the maple trees are all red, and the bright red maple leaves that are full of trees seem to be dyed with thick rouge. A bright sight.
"Princess, this maple leaf is really beautiful." Liu Siyi picked up a maple leaf from the ground, brought it to the tip of his nose, and sniffed it lightly. It seemed that the maple leaf still had a scent on it, so he couldn't help closing his eyes and enjoying it. That delicate appearance, I'm afraid that if a man sees her, he will feel pity for me.
The white jade-like side face draws a delicate outline under the sun, and is covered with a faint halo. The charming facial features and slender neck make me feel pity.
Seeing Liu Siyi's soft and charming posture, Gu Xiaowan didn't take it seriously. Girls from all over the world wanted to show their uniqueness in this place where everyone was competing for beauty. Gu Xiaowan didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"As long as you like it!" Gu Xiaowan glanced at Liu Siyi lightly, and said lightly.
I saw that Liu Siyi was wearing a peach pink quilted brocade jacket today, and a pearl white lake crepe skirt, her white and tender melon-like face was thinly covered with powder and daisy, which only added color, and her blushing cheeks were like a blooming flower Viburnum, white and red.
Under the curved willow-leaf eyebrows, a pair of youthful and harmless eyes blinked from time to time, like a frightened little white rabbit.
It's just a pity, the eyebrows were raised slightly, as if in a coquettish manner, which obliterated the innocence and grievance that he tried so hard to show.
As well as the faint and harmless smile on his lips, no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel that this person has deep scheming.
If you don't look at other things, this Liu Siyi's face is indeed first-class.
It's just a pity, the greed and obsequiousness in the eyebrows and eyes fully revealed this person's nature.
On the other hand, Liu Xueying next to her stood respectfully aside, with her hands hanging in front of her body, and her eyes were fixed on the maple leaves on the tree, but she was not as smiling as Liu Siyi. Faint, but dignified conduct, without the slightest deviation.
The guests also came one after another, and before the middle of the day, they all came together. There are quite a few of them who are familiar with each other. It turned out that they had seen each other at the banquet in the Ming Palace and the poetry and song meeting in the Su Mansion. .
no needles
As for Gu Xiaowan, when Gu Xiaowan saw them coming to give gifts, she treated them equally.
Among them, there was one person that Gu Xiaowan didn't know.
I saw that the woman was about fourteen years old, because she was young, her stature was not very tall, but her gestures were dignified.
At this moment, I saw that the little girl was wearing a pink-trimmed pipa jacket, and a pleated ruyi moon skirt of the same color. The skirt was rusted with pink patterns, and the three thousand black silk was pulled up a little, and the rest hung around her neck. , and a small golden gemstone hangs on the forehead, which is just right.
