"Don't use that expression. It's really worthless. I originally wanted to give one to the emperor, one to the empress, one to the queen mother, one to the Grand Secretary Jiang, and one to Doctor Zheng. I just didn't have time to give them out." Li Yun said to Marquis Dingbei and others.
"Yun'er, don't say such things again in the future. It will cause trouble." Dingbei Hou said seriously.
"My daughter knows that you are family and will not harm me, that's why I said that." Li Yun knew that she should not talk nonsense. She said that because she regarded Dingbei Hou as a family member.
"Yun'er, just remember it." Seeing that his daughter knew, Marquis Dingbei said nothing more.
"By the way, Dad, Mom, Grandma, Second Brother, Minghui, the Princess's Mansion will hold a housewarming banquet the day after tomorrow, so you must come early." Li Yun said to the Dingbei Marquis' family.
"Okay, I will definitely arrive early." said Marquis Dingbei.
"Yun'er, if you need any help, tell your mother." said the wife of Marquis Dingbei.
"Don't worry, I will definitely not hesitate to help you if you need me." Li Yun said while supporting the wife of Marquis Dingbei.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back home." said the old lady of Dingbei Hou.
Marquis Dingbei returned to his mansion with his wife, mother, and children.
Li Yun also took his family back to Chen's house, leaving Manager Cui behind to handle the rest of the matter.
The second prince returned to the palace and immediately summoned his advisers to discuss how to get Princess Jiahui.
The third prince returned to the palace and summoned his advisers to discuss taking Princess Jiahui as a concubine.
When the Fifth Prince returned to the palace, he not only summoned his advisors to discuss taking Princess Jiahui as his concubine, but also sent his secret guards to steal the Liuli Ruyi from the Dingbei Marquis's residence, but they were all dealt with by the Dingbei Marquis. However, these are all stories for later.
After returning home, the guests also consulted with others. Some ministers came to the conclusion that the princess should be married; some ministers came to the conclusion that the princess should be won over or flattered; and some ministers sent their confidants to steal the glass ruyi of Marquis Dingbei.
The ministers in the capital are destined to be unable to sleep tonight. They are all thinking of their own little things. Only the Chen family is normal.
When Li Yun returned to Chen's house, she was surprised to see many carriages inside.
"Master, Lu Shao and others have arrived in the capital." The doorman said to Li Yun.
"I'm here. Okay, I'll go take a look." Li Yun said, and walked towards the fifth courtyard.
When they arrived at the fifth entrance, Lu Shao brought with him more than a dozen people, all of whom were bought in Qingshan County.
"Master, I finally see you." Lu Shao said happily when he saw Li Yun.
"Is everything okay at home? Nothing happened, right?" Li Yun asked Lu Shao.
"Everything is fine at home. With Magistrate Ma protecting us, those people dare not take action. An Er asked me to tell the master that the business at home is good and that the master does not need to worry. Tian Ji asked me to tell the master that the crops are almost ready to be harvested and asked when the master will be back. He didn't know what to do." Lu Shao told what An Er and Tian Ji had said.
"We'll be back soon. You've been traveling so long that you should have a good rest tomorrow. The day after tomorrow is the day when the princess's mansion will be moving to a new house and there will be a banquet. Everyone should go and help then." Li Yun said to Lu Shao.
"Yes, master." Lu Shao said.
"Then you can take a rest." Li Yun said and went back to the third courtyard.
Li Yun stayed at home as a lazy fish for a day and played with Erbao, Sanbao and Xiaohua for a day.
On the day the Princess's Mansion moved into its new home, Steward Cui started making arrangements with his servants early in the morning, and the chefs from Huimin Restaurant also came to cook.
The princess's mansion was decorated in a similar way to the family reunion banquet, filled with balloons and ribbons. With the experience from the last time, it was ready in just one stick of incense.
When the auspicious time arrived, Li Yun brought his family to pay homage and then set off firecrackers. This time, there was no trouble like entering the house in Qingshan Village. It was just a simple worship and a few good words from Cui Guanshi, and that was it.
This time, the guests were all close relatives, such as the Emperor, Empress, and Empress Dowager; the family of Jiang Daxueshi; the family of Zheng Dafu; the family of Jijiu; the family of Dingbei Hou; the Minister of Revenue and his wife. The Minister of Revenue was invited because of his eldest brother Ma Youdao. Since he couldn't come, his parents had to be invited.
After the Si hour, guests came one after another.
The first to arrive were the family of Marquis Dingbei. As soon as Marquis Dingbei came home from court, he brought his family to help.
Li Yun brought his parents-in-law and Shangguan Feiyun out to greet the guests. Dabao's three siblings and housekeeper Cui stood on both sides.
As soon as the carriage of the Dingbei Marquis Mansion stopped, Minghui was the first to jump out and ran to Li Yun.
"Congratulations, sister, on moving into your new home. May everything go well and may you be safe and happy!" Ouyang Minghui said the blessings.
"Congratulations! Congratulations!" said Li Yun.
"Today my daughter is moving into a new house. Daddy wishes her all the best, safe journeys, and a lot of money!" Marquis Dingbei said congratulations.
"Thank you, Dad. I appreciate your advice!" said Li Yun.
"In-laws, please sit inside." Chen Mo invited Marquis Dingbei and his family into the yard.
Soon, the emperor, the queen and the queen mother came over.
This time, Li Yun and Shangguan Feiyun were invited into the yard for tea and chat.
Li Yun stayed with him for a while, then went out to greet the guests. This time, the guest was the chief priest, and he came with his wife. Li Yun asked Dabao to take the chief priest in for tea.
Next came the family of Academician Jiang and the family of Doctor Zheng. Li Yun led them in personally, leaving only Qin Lanlan and the housekeeper to welcome the guests.
After settling them down, Li Yun came out to greet the last two guests.
After waiting for a while, the Minister of Revenue came with his wife.
"Congratulations, Princess. I've been delayed by something, please forgive me!" The Minister of Revenue said embarrassedly. It was all his mother's fault. Knowing Li Yun had come to the house, she insisted on coming along. How could he possibly agree? His mother and the Princess didn't get along, and she had punished her before. Bringing her along would only cause unpleasantness. He tried his best to persuade his mother not to come along.
"It's okay. It's not time for the banquet yet. I'll take you in." Li Yun said politely to the Minister of Revenue.
"Thank you, Princess." said the Minister of Revenue.
Li Yun brought the Minister of Revenue and his wife in. The emperor and his friends were talking about something and laughing heartily.
"I, your humble servant, greet the Emperor, the Empress, and the Empress Dowager. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empress and the Empress Dowager!"
"Stand up!" said the emperor.
"Thank you, Lord!" The Minister of Revenue and his wife dared to stand up.
"Today is the auspicious day when Princess Jiahui moves into the mansion. We have invited her closest relatives to this family banquet. There is no distinction between the emperor and his subjects," said the emperor.
"Yes!" everyone said.
At this time, Manager Cui came over and asked everyone to take their seats.
Li Yun led everyone into the main hall, where six tables of food and wine were set up. Two tables were set up at the residence of Jiang Daxueshi, two at the residence of Zheng Dafu, one for Li Yun's family, the emperor, and the empress dowager, and one for the Dingbei Marquis, the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and his wife, and the chief priest's family.
The dishes came up one after another. The emperor took the lead in picking up his chopsticks, and then everyone followed suit.
This time, there are also twelve dishes, mainly seafood, including fish, shrimp, crab, scallops, mountain oysters, and Huimin Restaurant's signature dishes, red pork and sweet and sour spare ribs.
By the time the dishes were served, everyone had already started eating with relish, forgetting their usual etiquette, with only the food in their eyes and minds.
After finishing all the dishes on the table, everyone held their stomachs with satisfied looks.
