Chapter 516 Let's Experience the Fairyland When
Wu Qing heard the servant come to report that it was the princess's brother who wanted to see him, his heart trembled, thinking that he was here to ask about the banquet again.
He went out to greet the guest with a bitter face and raised his hand to bow.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Fengnian smiled and asked, "Hello, Lord Wu, I heard that your family is going to hold a big banquet. I wonder if you have chosen a restaurant?"
Wu Qing was stunned by the question.
If this matter was held in a restaurant, wouldn't it be more expensive? Now he was preparing to do it at home, and he felt embarrassed.
Jiang Fengnian's smile deepened, "If there is no choice, then my family has an unwelcome request. I wonder if Lord Wu would like to hear it?"
Wu Qing was a little surprised, "What is it? Just tell me."
Jiang Fengnian pointed to the west of the city, and then bowed and said, "I believe Lord Wu has heard about it. My family built a villa on the mountain. The scenery inside is picturesque. Whether it is food, accommodation or entertainment, it has everything. It will open in the next few days."
"If Lord Wu doesn't mind, my villa can host this banquet for you for half a month, and the expenses can be free. What do you think?"
Wu Qing's eyes widened and he couldn't help but be tempted.
But he still held back, not willing to accept the favor easily, "How can I let your family spend money to host a banquet for me for nothing?"
Jiang Fengnian guessed that he would say this, so he smiled, "Please listen to me first, my family only said that we would waive the fees, but we didn't say that we would host it for free."
He came straight to the point, without hiding anything, "My villa is in need of publicity right now. It seems that I have wasted the venue and food for your family to host this long banquet, but in fact, I have gained fame, which cannot be measured by money."
"So what we do is a mutual benefit. Your family doesn't need to feel that you owe me anything, and my family seems to be paying money but actually makes more money." Jiang Fengnian said cheerfully.
Wu Qing understood immediately.
At this time, his heart finally relaxed a little.
Seeing him hesitate, Jiang Fengnian added, "When the time comes, our villa will prepare all the food and accommodation, so you don't have to worry about it, and you can take care of your wife with peace of mind."
When Wu Qing mentioned his wife, the scale in his heart completely tilted, so he let down his guard and bowed to Fengnian to thank him.
"In this case, I will respectfully obey your order. Thank you very much." Wu Qing's tone was full of gratitude.
Jiang Fengnian was very easy-going, "Feng Jing is my fourth brother, and you are the most respected elder in the Imperial College. It should be my family who thank you for your patient teaching of him. There is no reason for you to thank me again."
These words raised Wu Qing's status and made him feel much more comfortable.
Wu Qing was grateful to Fengnian for saving his face, so he personally escorted him to the door and bowed to him again and again.
This stubborn scholar didn't realize at this moment that the pit was actually dug by the national teacher from the beginning.
The national teacher dug the pit for the Jiang family to fill.
He didn't make anything in the end.
Jiang Fengnian was thanked by him all the time, and it felt like he sold someone out and was counting the money.
He could only try his best to be attentive, and it was not in vain that he let Wu Qing down.
Soon, the villa was ready.
Wu Qing also breathed a sigh of relief and set the date for three days later. At the same time, he also formally sent out the invitation, and wrote on it Xiao Jiuchongtian. When
the officials in the capital received the invitation, they were very surprised at first.
"The long table banquet is not held at the Wu Mansion? It is held on the mountain?"
"What is Wu Qing doing?"
"What kind of place is the Little Nine Heavens?"
An invitation is enough to whet people's appetite.
Before they even saw the mountain, they were already muttering about what kind of wonderful place is hidden on the mountain.
Not to mention other people, even the Wu Mansion was extremely curious at this time.
Mrs. Wu held her round belly and paced in the house, "What kind of mountain manor is this? We are not allowed to see it in advance. Old Wu, what do you think the Jiang family is keeping secret?" Wu Qing
waved his hand to comfort her, "Madam, don't worry, the eldest brother of the Jiang family is well-spoken and can be seen as a reliable family. Since we have handed over the power to him, we just need to wait patiently."
Mrs. Wu thought about it and agreed.
Although she was not familiar with the Jiang family, she had naturally developed a good impression of them since the last time they sent her sour apricots, so she decided not to worry about it for the time being.
During these three days, Li Qiqiao had already prepared a menu with more than 30 hot and cold dishes, and arranged for the cooks to practice.
Xiao Nuobao also sorted out the offerings and contributed a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Feng Jing called the painters, put on exquisite fairy clothes, prepared colored ink, and stood by under the gallery.
Three days passed in a flash.
Soon it was the day for the banquet.
The Jiang family got up early in the morning to tidy up, and the whole family attached great importance to this big day of opening.
Feng wore a stone-blue skirt, an ink-colored fox fur cloak on the outside, and two golden phoenix hairpins with lace. Her outfit was simple but not simple, and she looked noble.
Sun Chunxue and Li Qiqiao also looked in the mirror for half a day.
However, they were more low-key, not wearing gold or silver, but only wearing fine jade ornaments, focusing on a fresh and simple style.
After all, their husbands were not officials, and if they dressed too much, they would look like nouveau riche and not stable enough among the wives of officials.
Mrs. Xiao, who was temporarily staying at the Jiang Mansion, had to accompany them.
However, she also deliberately removed the complicated ornaments so as not to overshadow her master.
Xiao Nuobao sat in the carriage early and waited. He had only eaten two pieces of cake before his mother and sisters-in-law arrived.
I didn't expect that adults would have to pay so much attention to their dress for banquets.
The little fat girl shrugged helplessly. From this point of view, children are still simple and can wear whatever they want.
She was wearing a lotus root powder dress, all made of the most expensive Zhangzhou silk at the time, which made her face look particularly white, like a lotus root powder dumpling, making people want to take a bite.
Soon, three carriages moved forward together, passing through the center of the street and finally reaching the foot of the mountain.
At this time, most of the guests had arrived and were waiting in the carriages.
Seeing that the Jiang family had arrived, everyone got off the carriage and saluted Nuobao.
"Hello, Princess Fuxing."
"May the princess be well."
The little fat girl was not stage-frightened, and stepped down generously, waving her little hand to greet them.
At the Wu family, Mrs. Wu also bent over to greet her.
Little Nuobao walked with her short legs, but lifted her arm, "There is no need to perform formalities for a pregnant elder, and your family is the host today, so you can skip the formalities in the future at the manor."
Mrs. Wu was open-minded and did not pretend, "Thank you for your consideration, Princess. I am too arrogant this time."
Soon, Little Nuobao walked in front of the stone road, looking at everyone with a smile, "Today is a banquet for the Wu family, and it is also the opening day of our Little Nine Heavens. Everyone, follow me up the mountain and experience the fairyland."
After that, the little fat girl was calm and leisurely, and walked in front first.
Experience the fairyland?
What does this mean...
Everyone was still confused and could only follow the fat princess's steps to see what she was saying.
