Chapter 212 Banquet
Health-preserving soup is also indispensable in autumn. Blanch the pork ribs with onion and ginger, remove them, wash them and put them into a stewing pot, add snow pears with skin, lotus roots and red dates. The lotus root, snow pear and pork bone soup stewed in this way is refreshing and can reduce internal heat, nourish the spleen and nourish the lungs.
The old lady helped direct the preparation of the other ingredients, and Ji Zhisui did not interfere.
She was also thoughtful enough to prepare lily and pear tea for them. As night fell, the emperor came from the palace to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Because he was a distinguished guest, the Pei family prepared early and welcomed him outside.
When the new emperor arrived, Pei Yian and his family paid their respects, and then they entered the palace.
Ji Zhisui secretly looked at the new emperor from behind. He was wearing a white suit with auspicious clouds embroidered with gold thread on the cuffs and a scarlet belt with white clouds around his waist. He had an imposing and majestic temperament.
She only took a quick glance and then looked away, not attracting any attention. It turned out that this person was the new emperor.
With the new emperor's promise, everyone in the Pei family took their seats. The new emperor sat at the center of the table, with Pei Yian and Old Madam Pei on either side. The others took their seats in order.
Then the maid brought the prepared food to the table, and the aroma of the food wafted in, filling the entire room.
The unique aroma of delicious food makes people's mouths water.
The new emperor looked at the delicacies on the table with curiosity. He knew some of them, but the combination of some ingredients surprised him.
The maid first poured tea into the cup. When the new emperor and Pei Yian were drinking tea, he discovered that there was a secret hidden in the tea.
When you drink the tea, the dryness in your mouth is soothed. The sweetness of the pear and the fragrance of the lily are so natural that you feel relaxed.
After he started eating, he was greatly impressed by the delicious food on the table.
The new emperor couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seemed that his trip was not in vain, his appetite was greatly satisfied.
After the fall, his appetite was not high, but today at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, he ate a lot without feeling much burden on his body.
Naturally, he would not be stingy with praise and gave a lot of rewards to the Pei family, especially Ji Zhisui.
It's just a pity that as an emperor, he can't go to his ministers' homes for meals every day. When he heard that the lady of the Pei family would open a restaurant in the capital, he began to look forward to it.
No wonder even Pei Yian failed. With such amazing cooking skills, it is easy for her to capture a man's stomach and then his heart.
The new emperor's rewards flowed like water. Ji Zhisui looked at the jewels and silks in the room, his eyes curved like the crescent moon in the sky, brilliant and dazzling.
The power of stewardship of the Pei family still falls on Ji Zhisui, but the Pei Mansion now has a lot more servants, and Old Madam Pei will also be there to help.
Ji Zhisui placed all the rewards given by the emperor in the warehouse. When he was unhappy, just looking at these treasures and rewards would make him feel happy.
Seeing Ji Zhisui's money-obsessed look, Pei Yian couldn't help but smile. He placed an account book and a land deed in front of Ji Zhisui.
After Ji Zhisui took it, he found that those were the various shops of the Pei family, and there were quite a few of them.
Before she could touch these things and refused, Pei Yian spoke first and said, "You can keep them. Besides, it's my duty to give money to my wife. When the salary comes, I'll have to trouble my wife to keep it for me."
This is her property and should belong to her.
He really liked to put his things in Sui Niang's hands, feeling that there was no distinction between you and me, as if this would make their relationship closer.
Thus, Ji Zhisui was closer to her dream of becoming a rich woman.
Although the capital is large, news spreads extremely quickly.
Soon, the news that the new emperor personally sent people to welcome the Pei family back to Beijing, and that he would go to the Pei family at night spread like wildfire, and many people smelled a lot of information in it.
The new emperor values the Pei family so much, and with the title of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, the Pei family will probably have a bright future.
With the current trend, many noble families have begun to extend olive branches to the Pei family, as it never hurts to make friends with others.
Some people who wanted to make friends thought of the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, who was from the Ji family. Maybe they could start with the Ji family.
However, the Duke of Zhenguo and his family had been back for several days and had no intention of visiting the Ji family, which made many people put their minds at ease. Everyone had heard a little about the previous bride exchange incident.
It's not worth it if you fail to make friends and instead just add to the annoyance.
Mrs. Pei looked at the various invitations and requests on the table and couldn't help but frown. It would be bad to keep refusing them. In this circle, she always needed to socialize with the ladies, but she couldn't agree to them casually.
After much deliberation, Madam Pei and Mrs. Pei decided to hold the Autumn Banquet of the Sun family, the Minister of the Supreme Court.
This autumn banquet is also the first appearance of the Pei family in the circle of Beijing after their exile, and its importance cannot be underestimated.
Of course you have to dress up beautifully and not let people look down on you.
The Pei family was bustling with activity early in the morning. Ji Zhisui was also woken up early by the maids and old women to dress up. The beautiful woman with bright white teeth and charming appearance in the bronze mirror yawned lazily.
Ji Zhisui has not been idle recently and is very busy every day. It is no wonder that she has no time to take care of other things. The Pei family has not shown any interest, and she has forgotten that she has a "home" in the capital.
She is currently having the shop that Brother An gave her renovated. The Baiwei Restaurant should be open soon. She hopes everything goes well.
In the bronze mirror, a maid was helping her to tie her hair into a bun, while Pei was helping her to choose and compare jewelry. There were many maids waiting behind her for orders.
Dressing so carefully made Ji Zhisui dream back to her wedding day. Soon the expression on her face became serious again. She was a very serious person, so how could she think about such messy and unnecessary things?
With the skillful hands of the maids and the guidance of Mrs. Pei, Ji Zhisui had also finished dressing up.
She was dressed in a blue Cuiyan shirt and skirt, with her three thousand black hair tied up in a loose bun, a black palace silk belt tied around her waist, and a white jade hairpin inserted diagonally, with tassels falling casually, adding a bit of beauty, her shoulders were cut into waists as slender as a willow, and her figure was graceful.
Pei nodded repeatedly to the others, "Sui Niang is so beautiful, you will definitely be the most beautiful among all the beauties like this!"
My son is really lucky to have married a capable and beautiful wife. It is the blessing he earned in his previous life.
She knew that there were many people gossiping behind her back, and they just talked nonsense without fear of being stopped. Obviously, the Pei family was lucky to have Sui Niang!
After Pei finished praising, the other maids and servants also praised her as if she were free.
Ji Zhisui couldn't help but feel a little warmed when he heard these words of praise.
Mrs. Pei, Mrs. Pei, Mrs. Pei's second wife, and Ji Zhisui got on the carriage and started heading to the Sun family.
