Reborn ten times, she is the real daughter of the Marquis Mansion and she doesn't pretend anymo

"My dear Taoist, the emperor is coming in person. How should we arrange the banquet so as not to neglect him? How many people should be at the main table when the emperor comes? Should we first issue invitations to confirm the number of people?"

Otherwise, how to arrange the ingredients and the number of seats?

A wealthy family wouldn't add extra seats at a last-minute banquet, let alone a powerful and wealthy family?

This really put Butler Zheng in a difficult position.

When Marquis Yong'an came to arrange the housewarming banquet, they spent several days discussing what dishes to order, how many seats to order, and where to set up the seats. They even made some revisions along the way, which were also reviewed by the emperor.

Everything else is easy to deal with, but since the Emperor's family is coming, Butler Zheng dare not keep these things secret.

Yun Tang then looked at Yun Xuanmo.

Yun Xuanmo was originally drinking tea nonchalantly, but when he saw Yun Tang looking at him, he slowly spoke.

"The Emperor should only bring the Empress, four princesses, and five princes. The princes will not bring servants, and the princesses will only bring two more maids. The Emperor can only bring the eunuchs at most."

"The emperor will prepare a table for the palace servants."

"The other prefectures will arrange the banquets according to the capital. The excess will be kept for the evening, and the shortage will be supplemented temporarily. As for the number of people, you know which families will come."

"The Lan and Wang families are the ones who arrived yesterday, followed by Master, the eldest brother, the second brother, the sixth brother, the seventh brother, and some disciples from the Tianji Pavilion and Qingfeng Temple."

"These are all for the main table. They are arranged at eight people per table. If there are any temporary additions, we can add more people."

Yun Xuanmo roughly calculated the number of people coming to Qingfeng Temple this time, and those who had been to Yunshang Temple for quite some time would also have to see whether they would come or not.

Of course, the dozen or so guards are also the direct disciples of the fifth senior brother, and they will also come.

After such a detailed calculation, Butler Zheng had a rough idea in his mind. Of course, he prepared more food for the banquet, as there was still evening left.

After that, Yun Tang added: "I also have fresh fish and shrimp, dried fish and shrimp, river snails bought from Yunzhou, sour sauce duck bought from Tanzhou, and kimchi for cold dishes."

"The dried fish and shrimp can be made into crispy dried fish and spicy fried dried shrimp as snacks. There are also some dried spring locust flowers that were dried last year that can be soaked and fried with eggs or made into locust flower egg boxes."

No matter how rich and prosperous the capital city is, there are not many fresh ingredients at the beginning of spring, let alone seafood from Yunzhou?

If the ingredients were transported to the capital from various places in the usual way, they would only be dried goods. It would be extremely difficult to get fresh ones, but Yuntang had her advantages.

With these, Butler Zheng only needs to prepare live chickens and ducks, pork, mutton, bacon, tofu and other ingredients to make more than a dozen sumptuous dishes.

In order to keep the food fresh, they agreed that Yuntang would come back early tomorrow morning to take out the ingredients she had. After confirming the quantity, Butler Zheng was finally relieved.

At this time, Yun Xuanmo suddenly received a letter saying that his master had returned to Beijing and asked them to return to the palace quickly.

Yun Tang stood up happily and said with a smile: "Let's arrange it this way. I will go back and invite everyone to come to the mansion tomorrow."

She was not worried about not being able to host a banquet tomorrow. She had planned to invite her master and fellow senior brothers to dinner at her house after returning to Beijing. Her third senior brother also knew about it.

She invited her master first, and then the relatives. She had to invite them in advance. After all, she was going to hold a housewarming party. If she really invited outsiders on the same day, it would be neglectful to these relatives.

The master has come to the capital, and the other senior brothers who live in the capital will definitely invite the master. She will also have a big banquet in a few days, so naturally she has to make arrangements first.

The two got on the carriage back to the palace. When they arrived at Qingfeng Palace, they saw Lan Xian, Wang Yan, Wang Qi and others playing with Shoude, Shouming and others outside the palace.

Shoude, Shouming and other little Taoist boys were all around ten years old, but they looked embarrassed and cautious as they played with a few... junior master uncles.

In the ranking of generations in Qingfeng Temple, the Taoist name of Master Yun is Yun Qingyuan, which is the Qing generation, and his thirteen disciples are the Xuan generation.

Next are the Yi generation, the Ming generation, and the Shou generation.

Therefore, although Lan Xian, Wang Yan and Wang Qi are young, they are of the same generation as the master of Yunshang Temple, Yizhen Taoist.

Gu Yifang’s son Gu Xiuyuan was of the Ming generation, and his Taoist name was Mingyuan.

This was also the reason why after Yuntang entered Qingfeng Temple, the fellow disciples unanimously requested the master not to accept any more disciples.

Too young, too senior.

Yuntang watched the children playing harmoniously, and quietly entered Qingfeng Palace without disturbing them.

In the Sanqing Hall, the master and fellow practitioners had all arrived and were sitting on cushions and talking.

Yuntang and Yun Xuanmo walked in, happily saluted their master, greeted their eldest senior brother, kowtowed before the statues of the Three Pure Ones, and then took their own cushions and sat down.

Taoist Master Yun looked at his disciples, all of whom were doing well. Even the ninth disciple who he had almost lost was now safe and sound. He was very happy and smiled.

Seeing that her master and fellow disciples were all present, Yuntang quickly told them that she wanted to invite them to her new house for dinner tomorrow.

Yun Xuanyuan smiled and said, "I was just about to invite you tomorrow, but Xiao Tanger spoke first."

The only ones who have lived in the capital for so many years and have families are Xiao Beichen and Yun Xuanyuan. Gu Chengfeng has been in the northern border for many years, so there is no reason for him to treat guests as soon as he returns to the capital.

Yun Tang explained with a smile: "I just went to the new house. I was thinking that I would hold a housewarming party in a few days, so I had to invite Master and fellow brothers to dinner in advance."

"All the family members are coming. Should I write an invitation and deliver it in person?" Yuntang added.

Then he scratched his head and said with a wry smile, "I was in too much of a hurry. I only had time to talk to the housekeeper about this matter, and I haven't prepared the invitations yet. I should have gone to the shop to buy some invitations first."

"Okay, brothers, you've all heard it. There's no need to buy invitations specifically." Gu Chengfeng said with a smile.

These days, Xiao Tang'er and Lao Jiu have been busy with matters in the northern border. How can they have the time to take care of these things?

The emperor arranged for people to clean up their new house, so who would prepare these details for them?

"You haven't started a family yet, so there's no need to prepare so much. Just let us know." Yun Xuanyuan also said, "Then just arrange it like this. You'll be at my house the day after tomorrow, so there's no need to prepare invitations."

"Then I won't choose a date, let's do it tonight." Xiao Beichen also smiled.

He had just hosted a banquet for the Lan and Wang families yesterday. The fourth and fifth sons were not in the capital, so he did not invite their family members.

Of course, the Mansion of the Duke of Weiguo and the Mansion of General Jingbei (Duke) were originally in the capital, and they had frequent exchanges on weekdays, so this time would not be a big deal.

Gu Chengfeng said: "Then I will follow Lao Wu."

The others looked at each other. Yun Xuanyu touched his nose and said embarrassedly: "Then I..."

"Forget about you, the eldest brother, and the sixth brother. You are not from a big family like the fourth and fifth brothers." Xiao Beichen said hurriedly.

Yun Xuanyu glanced at him and said nothing more.
