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

Yuntang didn't hesitate to thank his grandmother for her thoughtful arrangement.

The four housekeepers, twenty first-class maids, ten first-class maids and twenty second-class maids were asked to be responsible for serving refreshments in various places in Tangfeng Courtyard, guarding the gates to prevent people from breaking in and dealing with various situations involving female guests.

Mrs. Yang in her own courtyard brought six second-class maids to take charge of the small kitchen and front yard of Tangfeng Courtyard. Twelve maids were responsible for washing cups and plates, and six old women guarded the yard to prevent anyone from breaking into the residence.

With this division of responsibilities, everyone has their own territory and there will be no chaos, and there will be no conflicts due to the addition of outside helpers.

The Tangfeng Courtyard has two open pavilions in the back, two rooms in the west wing, one room in the west wing, and five bright and dark rooms in the upper part of the second courtyard for entertaining guests.

The two rooms in the east wing were reserved for the female members of the Duke of Weiguo and the Duke of Jingguo's mansions, which also made it convenient for the two families to help her share some of the guests who were familiar with the two families.

In this way, the two aunts were responsible for the second courtyard, while the open pavilion was handed over to the second and third aunts. Guests who were familiar with each other and had different identities also knew where to go.

The small inner and outer halls and the warm room in the upper room where I lived were given to my grandmother.

In case other old princesses or old ladies of noble status come, they will have a place to go.

After all, this time, invitations were sent to all the powerful and noble families in the capital, no matter how close they were, but she had no idea who would come and who would not in the end.

There are also two corner courtyards in the backyard, which were originally used as storehouses, but she had just moved into the mansion, so how could she place so many things?

Therefore, one of the corner courtyards was temporarily arranged as a clean room for the female guests to change clothes, and the other corner courtyard was used by the servants accompanying the female guests.

This was the first time we had hosted a big banquet, so the arrangements were already very detailed and thorough.

After this experience, you will have useful experience in future banquets about which guests to invite, how many guests to have, and how to best accommodate them.

As for the lunch banquet, it was concentrated in the open space outside the flowers and trees in the large garden, which made it convenient to set the tables and dishes together instead of having to walk around.

After the meal, you can take a rest in different places.

The other pavilions, flower pavilions, mountain houses, waterside pavilions, and open pavilions in the garden are reserved for male guests to stroll and take a rest.

Such arrangements were finally finalized after several discussions and suggestions from relatives.

If someone disobeys orders and moves around recklessly, the palace guards and secret guards will come forward to correct them in time.

Yuntang herself has no experience in hosting large banquets, but fortunately there are so many elders who take care of the arrangements for her, and she focuses on being sincere and listening to advice.

At this time, no outside guests had arrived yet, and everyone sat down in Yuntang's yard, arranging today's tasks.

Princess Cheng was very pleased to see Yuntang dressed in a gorgeous, dignified, exquisite and pretty manner today. However, when she thought of her child's difficult experience and the weak mother-daughter relationship, her eyes could not help but become red.

Seeing this, Yuntang quickly smiled and said, "Grandma, you're going to have to work hard today. Yuntang is young, and she can't handle dealing with so many guests. The elders have to help me."

Princess Cheng was secretly feeling sad, but upon seeing this, she quickly smiled and said, "Don't worry, we have your grandmother and aunt. We all have experience in hosting banquets."

The Princess of Chengyang County also laughed and said, "Yes, you don't have to worry about entertaining guests. Just greet everyone and take a rest if you are tired."

Princess Chenghe also smiled and said, "Don't forget, today is also your birthday, so don't tire yourself out."

"I see. Thank you for your hard work, Aunt and Second Aunt." Yun Tang bowed quickly and said with a sincere smile, "Thank you, Grandmother, Aunt and Second Aunt, for the birthday gift for Yun Tang."

Today, as soon as Prince Cheng's Mansion, Prince Chengyang's Mansion, and Prince Chenghe's Mansion arrived, they presented the housewarming gifts in the front yard. Two thousand taels of silver ingots for each family were directly recorded in the gift book.

Prince Cheng also gave a newly found piece of jade the size of a sea bowl and a purple jade Ganoderma lucidum ruyi as birthday gifts, while Princess Cheng gave six boxes of gold and jade headwear, two pairs of jade bracelets, and two jade pendants.

The Prince of Chengyang gave twelve gold necklaces, and the Princess of Chengyang gave twelve boxes of gold head ornaments.

Prince Chenghe gave twelve gold necklaces, and Princess Chenghe gave twelve pairs of gold bracelets.

Housewarming gifts are usually silver ingots, while birthday gifts are usually jade and jewelry, with gold jewelry being the main type of jewelry.

It is just as Prince Chenghe and Prince Chengyang said before, Tang'er liked shiny jade and luminous pearls, but now she should like gold and silver even more.

So they all picked out some gold jewelry to keep for Yuntang as a treasure when she gets married.

These gifts were not actually very expensive, but they touched Yuntang's heart and made her very happy, and she became more sincere towards these elders.

In addition, my eldest cousin Xiao Ke and his wife gave me six exquisitely embroidered table screens as a birthday gift.

My second cousin Xiao Yue gave me a calligraphy piece. He said he was poor, so he wrote a piece of calligraphy and framed it as a token of his appreciation...

In response, Yuntang accepted it with a smile, not despising his second cousin's stinginess.

The other cousins ​​also picked out small gifts for her that could express their feelings but could not be directly valued with a price.

Yuntang naturally accepted them all happily.

Naturally, the Marquis's Mansion could not give so much gold and silver. They gave one thousand and two silver ingots as a housewarming gift, while the birthday gifts prepared by Marquis Yong'an were embroidered screens, antique vases, and antique calligraphy and paintings.

The second uncle and second aunt, and the third uncle and third aunt also discussed it and one gave twelve gold necklaces and the other gave twelve pairs of gold bracelets, which were of similar value.

It’s just that the couple sent it together, unlike my two uncles’ families where they sent it separately.

The eldest brother directly gave Yuntang two gold bars.

The second brother prepared two boxes of golden noodles, saying that his second sister-in-law had prepared them in advance.

The other brothers who were not married yet pooled their money to make fourteen gold collars for Yuntang.

It was said that she was fourteen years old today, and no birthday present had been given to her in the past thirteen years, so he collected fourteen gold necklaces and gave them to her.

Although the gold necklaces they gave were not as heavy as those given by the elders, they were also a token of their thoughtfulness.

The four sisters pooled their money to buy a set of cinnabar and talisman pens for drawing talismans, and each of them embroidered a handkerchief, which they gave to her with shy smiles.

Yuntang had long known that the Marquis's Mansion was not well-off. From the time she first entered the mansion with a monthly salary of only five taels, she knew that her brothers and sisters would not have much savings.

But they still tried their best to give her the best and most suitable gift, which was a more meaningful gesture.

Yuntang did not complain about the small size of their gifts, but instead thanked them out of emotion.

It's just that everyone is busy today and no one has time to feel sentimental. After giving the gifts, everyone gets busy again.

Yuntang was talking to her grandmother and aunt.

King Cheng followed his grandchildren who were already learning Taoism to the small Taoist temple in front, and they also burned incense and kowtowed, praying for peace in the country, harmony in the family, and prosperity in everything.

Just after the hour of Chen, guests began to arrive one after another.

Marquis Yong'an and his entourage hurried to the front yard to welcome the guests, while the female guests were led to Tangfeng Courtyard by the first-class maids in the mansion.

Yuntang received a letter from his master and fellow apprentices...
