At this time, a carriage arrived at the door of the Su Mansion. When they saw that the visitor was Ding Xiang, a maid came up to welcome him and took him to the main courtyard. When Su Qing saw Ding Xiang, she happily asked, "Why did Sister Ding Xiang come so early?" Ding Xiang was also unrestrained. Li said, "I wanted to come over early to see if there is anyone who can help." Su Qing joked, "You look like the mistress of the Su family. Why don't you come and be my sister-in-law? We can take care of things at home in the future." I can feel a lot more relaxed during the banquet!" Ding Xiang blushed immediately and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about!" At this time, Su Rui happened to come out of the room. Su Rui was going to the Yamen today. I heard that there was a banquet at home. I also invited some young men, so I told the Yamen to take leave and volunteered to stay to entertain the male guests. When Dingxiang heard Su Qing's words, she coughed unnaturally. When Dingxiang saw that Su Ruiye had heard it, her face turned even redder, and she hurriedly bowed her head and saluted, "Hello, Mr. Su." Dingxiang used to call Su Rui Mr. Su when she met him. Later, Dr. Ding said that although Su Rui was only a fifth-rank official, he had gained it through ten years of hard study and real ability. When people outside saw him, they would respectfully call him Master Su, and asked Ding Xiang to call him this way in the future, so Ding Xiang this time Remember your father’s words. Su Rui returned the gift, "Miss Ding, you don't have to be polite, just call me Su Rui from now on." Ding Xiang felt even more embarrassed after hearing this. Su Qing thought it was funny, so in order to relieve the embarrassment, she hurriedly pulled Ding Xiang into the house.

Then, many guests came one after another. For this banquet, Jiang listened to Su Qing's suggestion and moved all the furniture in the main hall. He brought many small coffee tables and arranged them in a large circle in the main hall. There are heaters burning in the four corners of the main hall, and there is a vase on each coffee table with a few plum blossoms in it. There is also a fruit plate, a dessert plate, and several tea cups. Although it is already winter, the main hall is as warm as spring and the fragrance of flowers is fragrant. All the guests, regardless of gender, sat in a circle in the main hall. This method made everyone feel very novel, especially the ladies who have not yet left the court. They usually have very few opportunities to see foreign men, even if they go to other people's homes to attend The banquet is also divided between men and women. The ladies in charge can only choose marriage partners for their daughters or sons by listening to what others say. This time at the Su family's tea party, everyone can sit together and talk, or show off their talents. Those fine ladies Through the speech and behavior of these young ladies, we can roughly understand each other's temperament and personality, and we will have an idea when choosing a marriage partner for our children. Therefore, the scene that Su Qing saw at the moment was that the ladies of the house were chatting with smiles on their faces, and the ladies were shyly peeking at the young men opposite. Some of the young men were chatting in low voices about which young lady opposite was more beautiful. , which lady has temperament. Some used folding fans to pretend to be elegant in the winter, and two of them actually looked at the ladies opposite them without any disguise. Su Qing was trying hard to hold back her laughter when she heard the voice of a boy outside the door: "His Royal Highness King Jin has arrived! The fourth prince has arrived!" Everyone immediately stopped talking and stood up quickly. None of them expected that the Su family Even the two princes came to a small tea party. Jiang, Su Rui and Su Qing rushed forward to greet him. After seeing King Jin and the fourth prince, everyone knelt down and saluted. King Jin walked in front, and when he saw Su Qing about to kneel down, he quickly stepped forward and supported Su Qing with one hand. He held Jiang's arm with one hand, preventing them from kneeling down, and said, "No need to be polite." Jiang and Su Qing were stunned for a moment, and King Jin quickly let go of the two of them and continued, "I and my fourth brother don't Please come, Mrs. Su, won't you mind?" Mrs. Jiang quickly smiled and said, "Why would you mind? It's really an honor for the Su family to be honored by your two highnesses for this little tea party!" In fact, what she was thinking in her heart was , if today's soap is promoted by these two princes, the effect will be absolutely stunning! Prince Jin looked at Su Qing again, and his voice softened unconsciously, "Where is Miss Su?" Su Qing had the same idea as her mother, and the phantom had injured the secret guard, so she felt somewhat guilty. When King Jin asked himself, he raised his head and showed a bright smile, "I naturally welcome the arrival of the two princes!" This was the first time King Jin saw Su Qing smiling at him, and she smiled so beautifully, and he couldn't help but be stunned. After a moment, he felt happy in his heart. Su Rui next to him felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, so he quickly said, "The two princes have arrived, and the Su family is in full bloom. Please come in!" After saying that, he made an invitation gesture, and King Jin and the fourth prince Then he followed in. As they walked past the guests, many ladies peeked at the two princes with shy expressions on their faces. They were secretly glad that they were here today, otherwise they would have missed the opportunity to see the two princes. Many ladies also had ideas about the two princes at this time. Those who had daughters wanted to marry their daughters to Prince Jin or the fourth prince, and those who had sons wanted their sons to have a relationship with the prince. In short, everyone felt that the tea party at Su Mansion was worth it!

Su Rui welcomed the two princes to sit down at the top, but King Jin disagreed and insisted on letting Jiang sit at the top. He and Zhao Linhan sat next to Jiang, which made Jiang feel flattered and at the same time very grateful. His treatment is such that many ladies in Beijing would be envious and jealous. After King Jin sat down, he said to everyone, "Today is a tea party in the Su Mansion. Although I am a prince, many of you here are my elders. You can just treat me as an ordinary junior. There is no need to be restrained." Etiquette." After what he said, the guests present had a much better impression of King Jin, because in their hearts, King Jin was a cold-faced prince who was unsmiling and decisive. Today, when they saw King Jin being so approachable, their hearts were filled with excitement. I felt a lot more relaxed. It even made all the ladies secretly express their love. The fourth prince Zhao Linhan next to him also echoed, "Yes, today my second brother and I are just here to have fun! The day before yesterday, my servant bought something called soap from outside. According to the shopkeeper, this thing was made by Miss Su herself." Yes, it's better than pig's soap. I've been using it these past two days and it's really good. So today I just happened to have a tea party in Su's house, so I came in to join in the fun. By the way, I wanted to ask Miss Su if this soap can be sold wholesale? The prince can advise his father and ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to come to Su's house to buy soap in the future." King Jin's face changed slightly when he heard this. Isn't this what I want to say? Could it be that the fourth child also has a crush on Su Qing? He hurriedly said, "I also have this intention. If this soap can be sold wholesale, everyone in the Jin Palace can use this soap from now on." After speaking, he glanced at Su Qing. Su Qing seemed to see piles of silver in front of her eyes, but she still controlled her excitement and said, "Of course we can sell it wholesale. But now we have just started production, and the quantity is very small. If the two princes want it, they can pay a part of the deposit first. Write down the quantity and flavor you need, and we will make it as soon as possible and deliver it to your door as soon as possible!" King Jin was afraid that Zhao Linhan would steal his lines this time, so he quickly answered, "Okay, I will ask the butler to come when I get back. The Su Mansion will send you a deposit." Zhao Linhan also said, "I have to go back and report to my father about the purchase from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but I can personally order a hundred yuan first!"
