On this day, the tenth day of March, the sky was clear and the wind was breezy. The banquet held by the Eldest Princess in the plot came as scheduled.

Naturally, the Prime Minister's Mansion also received the invitation, and Mrs. Yang brought An Linghua and An Youhua to the banquet.

The eldest princess and His Majesty are brothers and sisters of the same mother. They are intelligent and indifferent to fame and wealth, so they are deeply loved by the holy family. When she sends out invitations, everyone who can come will come.

The prince's son-in-law is the second son of the Duke of Zhenguo. Since he is not under the pressure of inheriting the title, he has always lived a very chic and casual life.Unlike ordinary dudes, he doesn't like red sleeves or cockfights, he is obsessed with antique calligraphy and painting. After marrying the princess, the two fall in love with each other and share the same interests, and they soon become like glue.The eldest princess also took out her dowry to buy antique calligraphy and paintings to study with her husband. Over time, this son-in-law also gained some fame, calling herself "Mr. Shuijing".

This time the banquet was held at Taoyuan Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing. Taoyuan Mountain was originally a dowry for the eldest princess, and not many people knew what its original name was.The world only knows that Princess Dachang and her son-in-law changed the name of this mountain to Taoyuan Mountain after she got married. Come.

The eldest princess and her son-in-law built a villa at the foot of the mountain, named Taoyuan Villa, where they often came to live.This time, in order to give the only son a visit and invite guests, he chose this place.

The name of this banquet is Peach Blossom Appreciation, and the drunken man's intention is not to drink, but to care about ladies from all families.Everyone intentionally and tacitly brought the women of the right age at home, and they all came dressed beautifully.For a moment, it seemed that the air was filled with the scent of rouge and gouache.

The only son of the eldest princess, surnamed Zhang Mingqiu, styled Yunshu, clean and self-conscious, with handsome features, tall and handsome, courteous, and an extraordinary family background, is the favorite son-in-law of many father-in-laws in the capital.

Yang was naturally satisfied, and specially invited a famous tailor in Beijing to make some new clothes for her daughter.

On this day, An Linghua was wearing a white and pink underskirt. The cuffs of her jacket were narrow, and the neckline was sewn double-layered, all embroidered with peach blossoms appropriate for the occasion. People are more delicate than flowers.The lower skirt is pink gradually, from light to dark from top to bottom, and some peach blossoms are also embroidered on it, these peach blossoms are lifelike, it looks like peach blossoms have inadvertently landed on the girl's skirt.

An Linghua doesn't wear much jewelry on her head, but all of them are high-quality goods. She wears embroidered shoes with pearls on her feet and matches them with a skirt. When she walks around, she looks like a fairy who has fallen into a peach blossom forest. It is so beautiful.

An Youhua is also wearing new clothes, but both the material and the workmanship are poor once. She doesn't want to expose the power in her hands, and she doesn't know how much her business has been hit. Without tears, she can only obey the arrangements for these trivial matters, and she looks a little cold for no reason in a sky blue skirt.

At this time, the group of them was following the servants of Taoyuan Villa, and they came to the banquet with postcards.

Looking at Yang Shi and An Linghua who were walking in front, with her eyes glued to the pink and white figure, An Youhua's eyes were a little gloomy. Obviously these days are not going well, but it is impossible for anyone to live like her good.

An Linghua's back felt cold.

24 hours a day, most of the time is spent on etiquette. The two foster ladies can take turns to rest, but she can't, and she can't be perfunctory. , they will only smile or point out the mistakes seriously, and then let her repeat the action, and repeat it until the action is standard.

At this time, Murong Fu went back to Jiangnan to hold the coming-of-age ceremony—the crowning ceremony, but it couldn't save her from fire and water.

So every day, Anyouhua could only sleep on the pillow with exhaustion, and had no energy to run the business. It was not until today when I came to the banquet that I could relax.

There is no woman who doesn't like beautiful clothes. Looking at the new clothes on An Linghua's body, and thinking of the hardships she has endured in recent days, An Youhua couldn't help but feel angry.

Before An Youhua crossed over, she had just come out of the ivory tower not long ago, and she hadn't become an old fritters yet. Although she was smart, but at this time she was not the one who experienced ups and downs with the male protagonists in the future. Showing traces, coupled with gloomy eyes, she is very beautiful and has to be reduced by three points, far from the bright sunshine in the plot, the aura is compelling.

In the plot, at this time, An Youhua had just fought a beautiful turnaround in the encirclement and suppression of many inns and restaurants in central Beijing. The song does not educate the lady, and the words and deeds may not be in line with etiquette, but they are generous, which makes them extraordinarily moving and eye-catching.

The same sex repels each other. It is difficult for women in this era to like this type of woman, but men are just the opposite. The third prince Yan Hongxi is one of these men.

However, the current Anyouhua has just supplemented the etiquette, and it is not yet the time to integrate it. Under the training of the lady, every move is restricted within the framework. Although it conforms to the etiquette, it has lost its original agility, and She who is full of vitality in the plot is different after all.

Taoyuan Mountain is worthy of the word Taoyuan. There are peach blossoms all over the mountains, pink and white, dotted with branches, blooming in full bloom, like a sea of ​​snow.

As the group of them walked along, the air seemed to be filled with pink mist, and the fragrance of peach blossoms floated, faintly and very attractive.

Soon, the guests invited by the Eldest Princess arrived one after another.

The guests were divided into three groups, one group was older female relatives, following in front of the Eldest Princess.They talked and laughed at Yan Yan in a garden, you come and go, and they keep throwing baskets of good things that don’t cost money to Zhang Qiu. Anyway, it’s always right to praise the princess’s son. The eldest princess kept laughing.The surrounding peach blossoms are clustered on the branches, which look rich and prosperous, graceful and charming.It's a pity that there is no one to appreciate the peach blossoms in the garden.

The first group is young girls, they are not far away, next to the garden is a big lake, the lake is green, reflecting the sky and clouds, and lotus flowers are planted in the lake, and now in the spring of March, the little lotus is only showing its sharp horns, which is not special taste.

On the surface of the lake, thick wooden pillars protrude from the water, supporting zigzagging verandas and pavilions, which are hung with light orange gauze.

As the spring breeze blows, the gauze bulges, and a piece of orange flutters and sways on the wooden veranda pavilion, like a girl's hazy dream, graceful and affectionate.

There are also several pairs of mandarin ducks on the lake, swimming in pairs, or pecking and kissing each other, or singing with each other, which arouses the spring spirit in the hearts of countless teenagers and girls.

There is also a group of Zhang Qiu and his friends, and several unmarried princes also came, scattered by the lake, looking at the ladies from various families across the lake.

A willow tree is planted a few steps beside the lake. The green leaves have just grown, and the greenness is compelling, fresh and refined.The long willow branches sway in the wind, like the beauty's black hair.

Zhang Qiu was receiving the third prince Yan Hongxi, first he bowed and saluted, and said with neither humble nor overbearing expression: "Third prince is well."

Yan Hongxi stretched out his hand to help, and said with a smile: "Flesh and blood relatives, why bother to be polite?"

Zhang Qiu insisted: "Your Highness, etiquette cannot be abandoned."

Yan Hongxi suppressed his smile slightly, and squinted his eyes: "Yun Shu is really polite."

Zhang Qiu: "Your Highness, thank you."

Yan Hongxi pursed his lips, his eyes were dangerous, what a little fox!

Yan Hongxi turned his head and looked into the lake, only to see the shadows of the girls under the cover of the light gauze, still holding the pipa to half cover their faces, and the laughter of silver bells came faintly from the wind.

A pink figure was surrounded by the crowd, like the stars and the moon.

It must be the daughter of the prime minister's mansion, right?It is said that this woman is talented in writing and beautiful in color, she is the jewel in the palm of the prime minister, and sure enough, there is no one worthless under the fame.I just don't know what his good aunt thinks.Yan Hongxi thought to himself.

Yan Hongxi chuckled, and said, "Which lady does Yun Shu like?"

Zhang Qiu didn't even bat an eye: "Your Highness is joking, my mother's banquet is just for fear of disappointing Shaoguang."

... Don't be so blind if you open your eyes and talk nonsense, okay?Who doesn't know that your mother wants to find you a wife?

But the family did not say that they wanted to find a wife for their son. Everyone knew it, but they couldn't say it out, which broke the rules.Yan Hongxi was really depressed.

Fortunately, the upcoming banquet saved him.

Peach Blossom Feast Peach Blossom Feast, after enjoying the peach blossoms, there will naturally be a feast.

Princess Dachang is a sincere literary girl. She said that peach blossoms are the main ingredients for the peach blossom banquet.

The chefs in the villa are very skilled. Peach blossoms are paired with snow-white fish, fresh mutton, tender chicken, etc., as well as various seasonal vegetables to make different dishes, which are full of color, fragrance and taste.With a pot of peach blossom wine, it is simply delicious in the world.For a while, the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

After drinking and eating, after a while, the real highlight came.

Princess Dachang said gently: "The ancients expressed affection with things and aspirations with civilization. Today, if you want to imitate your ancestors, why not compose a poem to reflect the time, and draw up the title yourself."

Yang Shi, who was sitting under the head of the eldest princess, said seriously: "The princess is right, but the concubine is old and can still eat, and seven or eight out of ten are not strong enough. She is not quick in thinking and inferior to youth. Hope the princess Haihan." At the end, he couldn't help laughing.

The eldest princess couldn't help laughing, and the people around her also burst out laughing.

Finally stopped laughing, the eldest princess said with a straight face: "You monkey, you can be lazy like this, I have to punish you to be a referee." She laughed with everyone while talking.

The two have a good relationship, and they are not ambiguous when joking.

Yang said with a grateful face on purpose: "I know the crime and am willing to accept the punishment. Thank you Princess for your kindness."

For a while, everyone was overjoyed and laughed continuously.In the end, everyone unanimously decided to give the opportunity to unmarried young people.

The Eldest Princess ordered her servants to bring enough pens, ink, paper and inkstones and distribute them, and everyone started to use their brains.

The topic is self-made, and the scope is wide enough.However, everyone is good at different things, and the topics are self-made, which gives everyone room to play, and does not limit people's strengths.

Since the eldest princess and the son-in-law are talented men and women, everyone has guessed what the process of this banquet will be before coming, and literary performance is indispensable, so most people are also prepared, so that they will not be unable to write a single word, which is embarrassing. The eldest princess will not post posts to people who are illiterate.

An Linghua was educated by her parents since she was a child, and she is a veritable talented woman. She wrote a peach blossom poem in less than a quarter of an hour, praising the beauty of the peach blossoms and the hospitality of the host family.

An Linghua is fast, An Youhua is faster than her, because she just silenced "Water Tune Getou", of course very quickly.

An Youhua thought with some complacency, this time she can always overwhelm An Linghua, right?The things written by her, a little girl in her teens, can't be better than Mr. Su's masterpieces passed down through the ages, right?

At first, seeing this, everyone envied the prime minister's mansion for its well-educated daughters, and two talented women came out.

Yang Shi frowned, she knew it well, this concubine woman was cowardly and had no famous teacher to teach her, so she could never become a talent by self-study alone.
