Chapter 465 I have another piece of good news to announce...

In the end, it was still Xuan Huang who found it funny and patted Dabao's head. "Okay, kid, those people really went too far. They dared to bully our Xuan family. You're so good at bending your elbow!"

Dabao then asked Xuanxiu, "My sister is young. Did her hands hurt from beating so many people?"

Hyun Soo...goodbye!

The complaint was not successful, and instead made Dabao extremely angry.

"Father, you can't delay what we agreed on any longer today..."

Xuan Huang began to stroke his forehead again.

Xuanxiu glared at Dabao unhappily, stomped his feet and left.

After walking a long way, I could still hear Xuan Huang's laughter, "Dabao, why do you have the same temper as your father? Your father used to be like this too, very stubborn. No matter what happened to me outside, as long as your father heard about it, it must be that someone bullied me, and he would definitely avenge me..."

When he spoke the last part, his voice was as desolate as it could be.

After a while,

Liao Jiu came over and led everyone to the front hall for dinner.

Jiang Lianzhu came to him and told him about the incident in the backyard where her daughter beat someone up.

"Now Xuanxiu has gone to complain, is it a big deal? Will the Emperor Xuan blame our Nanbao?"

Liao Jiu took a look at Xuanxiu's back as he left angrily. It seemed that he failed to succeed.

"It's okay. The Emperor likes Dabao very much now. With Dabao here, she will definitely not be able to file a complaint. Besides, Nanbao is right. Those people are just mean and asked for a fight. You didn't teach them wrongly. This is how we should teach our children. We can't let them suffer. It's good enough that we don't bully others. Why would others bully our children?"

He kept calling Jiang Lianzhu "our kid" and it was impossible for Jiang Lianzhu to have a proper conversation with him.

At the same time, relax.

What are you afraid of?

She is strong, her children are strong, and the men outside are strong. No one can bully them.

Well, he’s still a man outside.

Sooner or later, you will become the man of the family.

…

Because it was a happy occasion, men and women ate in the same hall but sat at different tables.

The men were eating and drinking in the upper hall, while the women were eating in the lower hall. There was a gauze curtain separating them, so everyone could hear what they were saying.

You can vaguely see the scene on the opposite side from the upper and lower halls. It’s not very clear, but you can still guess roughly. The seat at the top must be Xuanhuang’s table.

The next highest positions must be held by powerful old ministers, and so on.

The seating arrangement in the lower hall is also very particular, according to status and rank. Those without status and rank will be arranged in order according to the status and rank of their husbands. The girls are much easier to arrange, and they will sit together according to the order of the eldest son or the eldest daughter of the legitimate wife, and the daughters of the eldest son will sit together at the back.

Banquets have always been governed by rules since ancient times. It's not that Jiang Lianzhu wanted to make things so complicated. In her opinion, modern thinking is that everyone is equal. But when she came here, she had to follow the local customs. Fortunately, Mrs. Lin helped her arrange the seats. If she had done it herself, it would have been a headache.

There is a lot of mystery behind the arrangement of seats. People in ancient times paid great attention to these things. If the seating arrangement was wrong, some people would express their dissatisfaction to the host in court, some would leave in anger with a lot of dissatisfaction, and some would even hold a grudge in their hearts and look for an opportunity to retaliate next time.

Jiang Lianzhu became a hands-off boss, and Mrs. Lin's arrangements were very appropriate, and no one was dissatisfied.

Sit down and start the banquet.

The dishes began to be served, and the maids and servants brought various dishes and presented them in an orderly manner.

The gauze curtains between the upper and lower halls were drawn open, revealing a large open space. A group of dancers slowly emerged from the backstage, holding pipa instruments and covering their faces as they danced the pipa dance, which was a delight to the eyes.

The dance is over.

The host gave a speech. Dabao, despite his young age, stood up without any panic and gave a welcome speech to the guests.

He figured out the wording and sentence selection by himself. Liao Jiu and Jiang Lianzhu didn't help him at all because they were of no use to him.

Xuan Huang led the applause.

There was thunderous applause in the hall.

Then, music and dancing began, various foods and drinks were served, and all the guests were talking and laughing.

All the ingredients used are of the best quality, fresh and seasonal. Jiang Lianzhu is assured that the Lin family will take care of things.

The dancers' performance of playing the piano and dancing was also very exciting.

There was an emperor who was sitting at the men's table in the upper hall. Toasts kept coming and going. Liao Jiudu blocked a lot of wine for Emperor Xuan, and even Dabao's face turned red from drinking.

When Lin Ziyi was among a group of young men, he was the only one who couldn't do it when he was asked to drink and play drinking games. He looked like a dandy to the extreme, but he was also very handsome and never got tired of looking at him. Many young girls who were in love with him gave him glances, but he didn't respond to any of them.

The second treasure beside him followed him and imitated him very quickly. He almost squatted on the table and no longer behaved like the second young master of the Prince of Xiang's Mansion.

Seeing this, Jiang Lianzhu in the hall wanted to go up and grab Lin Ziyi's ear to scold him, saying that he had led her son astray, but he was the only one who was willing to ask.

Jiang Lianzhu had heard people say before that Lin Ziyi stayed at home all year round due to illness and never went out. It seemed that these were all rumors. This guy was definitely not such an honest person. He probably even tore down the courtyard wall in private.

This guy's true nature is revealed.

However, I want to laugh when I see him. Lin Ziyi is not a bad person. He is full of energy, popular and has a great spirit.

She had just heard that Emperor Xuan had praised him in public.

Some noble ladies who valued family background looked at Lin Ziyi intentionally or unintentionally, with an evaluating look in their eyes, and the more they looked, the more excited they became.

Then, when he looked at Mrs. Lin again, there was no longer the same disgust in his eyes as when he entered the room before.

Having such a beautiful child, even a businesswoman would be worthy of envy and respect.

Mrs. Lin couldn't bear to see her own son go. As long as he didn't get into big trouble, she could handle it.

Nanbao was beside Jiang Lianzhu, eating and drinking as she pleased, as if she was not the one who had hit people and cried before. In front of the delicious food, she had forgotten all about it.

Not only does he eat, he also stares at the beautiful dancers in the middle of the dance floor, enjoying the singing and dancing.

She was probably the one who ate the most seriously and watched the show the most attentively in the whole audience.

Just when the atmosphere was full of excitement, Xuan Huang suddenly stood up and said, "My dear ministers, my dear ladies..."

Everyone stopped eating and drinking at the same time and looked at Xuan Huang respectfully.

"Today is a joyous day, and I am deeply pleased. I would like to take this opportunity to announce another piece of good news..."

Having said this, he kept the audience in suspense and paused.

Everyone looked expectant, and the old minister lost no time in expressing his support, "What a great event! Allow us, the old ministers, to offer our congratulations first!"

Jiang Lianzhu's eyelids twitched inexplicably.

She received the gaze of the eldest princess Xuanxiu, who sat at the top seat among the female family. Xuanxiu raised her chin slightly and looked at her provocatively.

Mrs. Zhou was targeting her, and Xuanxiu was also targeting her. She knew that these two people were obviously hostile to her.

She is not stupid. Liao Jiu is busy in Prince Xiang's mansion almost every day. He has traveled with her in the same carriage several times, so he may have guessed something. Even if he cannot be sure, a woman's intuition will not make her look good.
