Antique food: The general dotes on his lucky wife

On the second day of February last year, Lin Changqing was still on the front line, and Chen Xi only held a birthday party for his daughter.

This made Lin Changqing very regretful. He had made up his mind early this year to hold a grand birthday banquet for him and his daughter at his house.

Chen Xi knew that Lin Changqing was reluctant to leave.

Because she would leave the capital with her daughter later, and Lin Changqing would be separated from her daughter again, so he felt reluctant to give up. At this time, he could only make up for it with the grandest birthday party.

Learning from the Northwest Chenji Song and Dance Troupe, after Chen Xi returned to the capital, he immediately invited a song and dance troupe to the Chenji Restaurant in the capital and trained for half a year.

A few days ago, Lin Changqing had sent invitations to many colleagues, and Chen Xi had also sent invitations to the ladies of various houses, inviting everyone to come to the house for a banquet on the second day of February.

Chen Xi has made it very clear in his post that this banquet will include the Chen Ji Song and Dance Troupe, which Chen Ji has never performed in the capital. As long as all the ladies and ladies can come to enjoy the honor, it will definitely be a worthwhile trip.

After getting along for so long, everyone knows Chen Xi's temperament.

Although she was born as a peasant girl, she has always had a low-key temperament, whether she was previously a county lord or later promoted to a county lord.

This was the first time that she had been so high-profile, inviting almost half of the capital's royal family and nobles. She also said that this banquet was very special and asked everyone to come as much as possible.

As a result, almost all the people to whom Lin Changqing and Chen Xi had sent messages replied, saying that they would definitely come to the house to support them, and asked Lin Changqing and Chen Xi to make arrangements.

So for several days, Chen Xi and Lin Changqing were busy without touching the ground, trying their best to make the banquet grand and extraordinary.

Soon it was the second day of February, and it was almost dawn, and the people in the house started to get busy.

The street in front of Lin Mansion has been cleared, and carriages are arriving one after another.

Today, Lin Changning and Lin Changsheng of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion were asked by Lin Changqing to be "masters" and responsible for receiving guests. Lin Guangxiao and Chai were naturally extremely happy about this, and they were happy that Lin Changqing recognized the identities of the younger siblings.

But precisely because of this, today Lin Guangxiao and Mr. Chai are keeping to themselves, staying where they should be, and resolutely not causing trouble.

Soon the guests came one after another. As soon as they entered the Lin Mansion, they were amazed by the layout of the Lin Mansion.

Today's Lin Mansion layout is all arranged by Chen Xi. The theme means "flowers". A large number of flowers are used to decorate the Lin Mansion. Even the stage is covered with dense flower columns.

Nowadays, when people appreciate flowers, they plant them in pots and put them together for admiration. I have never seen such an arrangement before, and I was immediately attracted. They all marveled and admired it, secretly thinking that this is the real "cluster of flowers". "ah!

Lin Changning secretly told Chen Xi that she would also dress up like this on her wedding day. Chen Xi agreed to her, which made Lin Changning extremely excited and smiled even brighter when receiving guests.

The banquet started at noon, but at this time, songs and dances had already begun in the gardens on both sides. However, these songs and dances were very simple, purely adding to the atmosphere.

Everyone couldn't help but guess, could this be the song and dance troupe that Chen Ji had never shown before? It doesn’t look like much at all!

Everyone murmured in their hearts, but they didn't say much. Anyway, it was an unexpected surprise to see such a bouquet of flowers today!

Soon at noon, the banquet officially began.

On both sides of the garden, one was responsible for receiving male guests, and the other was responsible for receiving female guests. Lin Changqing and Chen Xi were busy with people respectively.

Until this time, no one knew what the Chen Kee Song and Dance Troupe was like. They were so mesmerized by the dreamlike performance on the stage that they even forgot to taste the delicious food and just enjoyed the singing and dancing.

It wasn't until the intermission of three performances that everyone woke up from a dream, and then they gathered around to find out what was going on with Chen Ji's song and dance? They will also hold a banquet later. Can they invite the Chen Kee Song and Dance Troupe to perform for them? As long as you show up, the price is negotiable!

Lin Changqing became "modest" at this time, saying that these were all the merits of the princess, and Chen Xi had the final say in matters concerning the song and dance troupe, so a group of senior men sent letters to their wives, saying that they must say Princess Huaishan first lent the song and dance troupe to her family.

Chen Xi and Lin Changqing had long expected this scene, so Chen Xi followed what she had discussed with Lin Changqing in advance. When several special targets came to discuss with her, she took the opportunity to guide several ladies and ladies in order to be the first to receive the information. The song and dance troupe naturally wants to indicate that they have the closest relationship with Chen Xi, their master and Lin Changqing, and they will inadvertently say one or two unknown things.

And here, Chen Xi and Lin Changqing would also reveal some information vaguely, making these ladies and ladies leave with thoughtful expressions.

As for what the final reaction will be to what they say, that will happen later.

All in all, it was a birthday banquet that was bustling on the scene, but also undercurrents off the field. The original alliance seemed to have changed its position unknowingly, and the originally hostile forces quickly found their new positions after discovering the new changes.

At this time, someone came to report that the prince was coming with the princess. Chen Xi and Lin Changqing immediately led everyone out to greet them.

What a coincidence, the second prince also arrived with the second prince's concubine at this time, which immediately raised the atmosphere today to the highest point!

The guests looked at Lin Changqing, who was standing between the crown prince and the second prince, and then looked at Princess Huaishan, whose hands were being held by the crown prince and the second prince's concubine. They all sighed that this couple was probably the most popular people in the entire capital today. !

Some "well-informed" people have already learned about the unusual things in the palace recently. At this time, seeing that the second prince has almost completely abandoned the respect he had for the prince in the past, and has begun to openly compete with the prince, he can't help but tremble in his heart.

Now everyone no longer dares to take sides easily, because now, even people who don’t know the inside story can see that the matter has reached a critical point, and the choices of Lin Changqing and Princess Huaishan may have an impact. The key to the situation.

So everyone increasingly regarded Lin Changqing and Princess Huaishan as benchmarks, waiting for them to express their opinions first.

After seeing the attitudes of the adults, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince became even more eager for Lin Changqing to join their camp.

After the whole banquet, both of them tried their best to act like "courteous and virtuous corporals" and pushed Lin Changqing to a high position.

After finally waiting until the banquet was over and the guests had dispersed, Lin Changqing was called into the palace by someone from the palace.

Chen Xi breathed a long sigh of relief.

Today’s show was finally not in vain!
