Chapter 364: Spring Banquet at the Marquis' Mansion
When Tang Mo arrived, the food and soup were already on the table. Zhuang Shi also came with him. The two of them had gone to the Ministry of War with Liao Zhi today. When they learned that Xin An invited them to dinner, they came eagerly.
"Dr. Qin, you are..."
As expected, Tang Mo was surprised to see Qin Bai's double chin, but then he smiled again, "You have a good way to maintain your appearance, you must teach me later."
Qin Bai said, "Your wife just said that I am the shop's living signboard, and I learned it. Let's eat."
Zhuang Shi greeted him politely, and after sitting down, he did not say anything polite and just started eating.
Qin Bai was very pleased to see that neither of them wanted to drink, and then he and Doctor Hua started to have a drink.
Seeing that Tang Mo ate quickly, Xin An said that if he was not busy on weekdays, he could come here to eat at noon. He had to work and eat at the same time.
Zhuang Shi nodded repeatedly and said that this was a good idea. He would come along and have a bite. "It's boring for Second Brother Tang to eat alone."
Xin An laughed, and the two of them left without much delay after finishing their meal, leaving Xin An and the two miracle doctors in the yard to bask in the sun. However, they only basked in the sun for a while before getting up and returning to the mansion. The mansion was going to hold a spring banquet, and the invitations had been sent out, but the preparations for the banquet had not yet been completed.
The breath of spring is becoming more and more intense. After a few sunny days, the yellow branches have turned into dark green. The yard is full of apricot, pear and plum blossoms. Peach blossoms are also competing for spring. Plum blossoms, camellia and cyclamen are not willing to be lonely. The roses that are gathering strength are also climbing all over the walls. The green leaves make the flowers in the garden more vibrant.
"I want the light yellow one. It's so pretty."
"Then I want a light green color, which will give it a more spring feel."
"I don't want pink. Pink makes me look darker."
The three girls in Ningxiang Courtyard were selecting fabrics for clothes for the Spring Appreciation Banquet, and they were overwhelmed by the pile of fabrics.
Zhao shook her head helplessly, "These three girls have become more and more active since they came to the capital. I see that other girls are well-behaved. Shouldn't they be disciplined?"
Although each family’s festival in spring is given various names, in the final analysis they are important days for the ladies to meet their sons-in-law or daughters-in-law. The noble young ladies are usually kept in their boudoirs and are rarely seen. The sons are even more busy with their studies and are not likely to see them either.
Zhao also had the same thoughts and was worried.
Wang was afraid that she was too anxious. "It's better to be active. You look healthy. Don't worry. You still have two or three years to slowly choose. I have asked someone to invite a female manager. When she comes to the mansion, she will teach the three sisters to read the account books and learn how to manage the household affairs. I will also choose some things for them to do so that they won't play all day."
"A family has a daughter who is sought after by hundreds of families. We can't be impatient. Besides, we have several scholars. If they are promising, why should we be afraid of not having a good son-in-law?"
"Be more steady. Quan'er can watch, and Fei'er and Ke'er can wait a little longer. Especially since Ke'er is young, we can decide after his brothers are born."
In this world, a woman's future depends on her father and brother, and they share the same honor and disgrace.
Zhao nodded gratefully and talked about her five sons again. The eldest Tang Nan couldn't delay for too long and he also had to hurry up and look after him.
Wang's family also had rules for this matter, saying that if they wanted to get married, they had to choose a courtyard in the mansion to renovate and repair it. "I know you can afford to buy a house, but living separately is another matter. Otherwise, why do you think the Wei family refused to move out even though they had a falling out?"
"I have already sent people to keep an eye on the left and right. If anyone wants to sell a house, we will buy it. Then we can expand it and make the house more spacious."
In her opinion, it was impossible for all five sons to stay in Beijing. Some of them would be sent out eventually. Once sent out, they would face continuous exiles and would not be able to come back for nearly ten years. Even if they bought a house, they would not be able to live in it.
Zhao said that she also had to look at the house, "Good houses are hard to find, so if you find a suitable one, buy it, just in case you need it."
The two discussed and discussed, and soon it was February 13th, three days before the Spring Viewing Banquet at the Marquis' Mansion. At this time, the old lady's nephew from her mother's side was also going to return. Wang prepared a large cart of things for him to take back, and told him that if any of her sons had a talent for studying, they could be sent to the capital. Since they were her own relatives, she would not be vague when it came to helping them.
After seeing the people off, Wang took Xin An into the palace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager and the Queen. The days passed in a busy manner until the day of the Spring Banquet at the Marquis' Mansion arrived.
This day is also a day off for all officials, so male guests are also invited.
Xin An got up early, washed and dressed, while Tang Mo let his hair down and prepared to take a bath and wash his hair. In the past, he could wash his hair whenever he wanted at home, but now he would take advantage of his days off to wash himself thoroughly.
"I'll go to the front yard. You can take your time washing. There's still plenty of time."
Tang Mo nodded helplessly. Ever since he got busy, he always went out early and came back late. Not to mention being intimate with his wife, he rarely had time to rest. He finally waited for a day off, but ended up having a banquet, drinking at noon and at night, so his day was wasted.
Seeing him sitting still, with disheveled hair, sitting on the edge of the bed like a male ghost, Xin An raised his voice and urged him, "Hurry up, you're still dawdling, do you really think you have a lot of time?"
"There are quite a few male guests here today, waiting for you to greet them. There is no need to rush when the opportunity is right in front of you."
"Right away."
Tang Mo stood up. He had no status, no status at all. "I'll wash it right away. It's very quick. It's not like you need to put on makeup."
Lailai is laughing at the door. She just likes to see the young master being bullied by the young lady. Humph.
Xin An turned around, and Tang Mo also entered the ear room, and they each went about their business.
As soon as she arrived at the front yard, the managers in various places in the mansion were already waiting for her to check the books. They had already given the necessary orders, but there were some things that had to be said again.
"Today, the big kitchen must be prepared with special care. Whether the food is delicious or not is secondary. The key is to make sure it is clean so as not to spoil the guests. No strangers are allowed to enter the big kitchen, and all the gates to the courtyards must be kept under close watch."
"The same goes for the tea servers. They must be extremely careful. The guides and waiters must also be attentive. They must not let the guests go the wrong way or go to places they shouldn't go. Especially, they must not talk too much. If I know who is so short-sighted that he would spread the affairs of the mansion to others at the slightest sign of trouble, he would not be allowed to stay in this mansion."
"We are all old people in the Marquis' Mansion. We all know the rules. If everything goes smoothly today, there will be rewards tomorrow. If someone makes a mistake in the business he is in charge of, I will just ask him to have a say."
"But I heard it all."
Everyone agreed, and Xin An raised his hand to let them all get busy. Wang sat aside with satisfaction, and asked who wouldn't want a daughter-in-law like this, who was good at everything she did, "You did a great job."
"It's also my mother's good teaching."
Wang smiled and said that she would talk to the ladies today. "We still need to keep an eye on everything. Thank you for your hard work."
"It should."
It is certainly hard work, but it is also an opportunity for her.
When the sun rose high in the sky, the wife of Yongshuangbo and her daughter-in-law arrived first. When she saw Wang, she smiled and said, "I have been waiting for this day since I received the invitation. As expected, as soon as I entered the house, I saw spring scenery everywhere. The winter jasmine flowers are in full bloom."
