Chapter 305: Shocking Wedding Banquet
Kick everyone out?
Ji Wu smiled and pointed at those people with her long pointed nails.
"Come, come, come, come and see who I should kick out."
"Is it Lord Su from the First Rank Shangshu Mansion, or Lord Liu from the Second Rank? Otherwise, Lord Wang, who is equivalent to the First Rank?"
"Look at this one again. Although he has no rank, you see what he is wearing. It's a palace uniform, and the dark red color shows that he is clearly the emperor's attendant."
She smiled.
"Haha, haha, I didn't expect so many people to come in in just the blink of an eye."
To prevent her mother-in-law from helping that little bitch, she had locked her up in the inner courtyard, personally guarding her and not letting her out. But, this actually gave her the opportunity to invite so many people in? And, in just one hour?
His long, pointed nails dug deep into the flesh, and his expression of resentment was not concealed.
"But Madam, it seems that it wasn't the old lady's people who invited them in. I saw that it was Qingshan Lushui and the others who opened the gate of the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion an hour ago and welcomed these people in."
The servant's reply made Madam Ji vomit blood.
"Then why didn't you report early?"
The servant looked miserable.
"But Madam, you said there was no need to report it. You said you would stay in the inner courtyard with the old lady, and no one would come to find you even if the sky fell. That's what you said."
Ji Wu's face turned pale. "I did say that, but don't you see what's going on? You didn't even report it after everyone came in? Do you want me to die?"
The servant replied, "I dare not."
"you?"
Ji Wu was very angry with this servant again.
The servant said boldly, "Madam, even if they come, it doesn't seem to matter. Madam, have you forgotten? We didn't prepare any food or wine at all?"
The servants of the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion were also confused. It was clearly the prince's wedding day, but the eldest lady, who was in charge of the household, had not prepared any wine or food? As servants, they did not dare to say anything and could only accept her words.
When Ji Wu heard this, her eyes lit up. "Yeah, how could I forget? I didn't prepare any food or wine. Hahaha, it's my fault. How could I be like this..."
But before he could utter the word "wise", the owner of Qifulou came in with more than 30 people. They were well-trained and knew which table to stand at. Soon, they took out all kinds of food and wine from the food boxes they brought, including a hot Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
When Ji Wu saw this, she was so shocked that her jaw dropped.
In the blink of an eye, four fruit plates, four candied fruits, and five appetizers were placed on the table. Excluding these, there were eight main dishes. In other words, there were a total of nineteen dishes on the table?
Ji Wu was trembling all over. Even when it was the Queen Mother's birthday, there were only eighteen dishes on the table. How could Ji Chenchuan's wedding banquet have nineteen dishes?
"How is this possible? How is this possible? Who did this? Who asked them to deliver these meals?"
"Also, there are these tables. Didn't I only arrange small round tables? How come they have become such large round tables now?"
Ji Wu was stunned. When had they changed? Who had done it? How could she, the mistress of the mansion, not know anything about it?
However, what surprised her even more was yet to come. The owner of Qifulou actually bowed and began to entertain the guests, saying that the hospitality was not good enough. He said that the prince had originally ordered 28 dishes, but in order to avoid breaking the rules, he could only reduce it to 19. But it didn't matter, all the guests who came today could take away the remaining nine dishes.
The owner of Qifulou also said that the remaining nine dishes have been prepared in Qifulou, and everyone can enjoy them when they return home.
He also said, "The prince said that he was not welcoming enough, and I hope everyone can forgive him. The prince is not in good health, so he said that he will not come out to drink with you. To express his apology, the wedding gift is the lotus cake from my Qifulou. I hope everyone can not dislike it."
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of all the officials changed, including Lord Su from the first-rank Ministry of Revenue.
Not to mention anything else, just the Hibiscus Cake is already the biggest surprise. As everyone knows, Qifulou only makes fifty servings of this cake on weekdays, and he doesn't make more than that. In other words, it's not easy to eat this cake. But now, everyone who comes here can get one?
I really like this way of apologizing.
"...The prince is weak, he doesn't need to come out, we can take care of ourselves."
"...Yes, there are also these wines and dishes, all of which are good. The prince is thoughtful. Tell him to rest."
"...Yes, yes. And the prince's invitation today, we will definitely remember it in our hearts. If the prince has any requests in the future, please feel free to come to us."
They looked at the table full of food and wine, and it would be a lie to say they were unhappy. The food and wine were even better than what they had eaten during Chinese New Year. There was also the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, which was absolutely delicious. Even during Chinese New Year, they would not be willing to spend money on it. But now, they were eating it at one of Ji Chenchuan's wedding banquets. How could they not be happy?
As the saying goes, one should be grateful for what one has received, and one should be soft-hearted when one has eaten something. Even though they usually have no interactions with this sickly prince, and sometimes even say a few bad words about him, this does not prevent them from getting closer to him now, right?
The shopkeeper of Qifulou nodded in satisfaction and signaled to the servants who came to deliver the food to serve the adults well.
The shopkeeper turned around and looked at the defeated Madam Ji with a sneer in his heart. He wanted to add to the gamble for his master at this time? What a wishful thinking! His master had anticipated this day and arranged everything long ago.
Besides, today is their master's wedding day, how can they let these little bastards ruin it?
With every word the shopkeeper said, Ji Wu's heart would skip a beat. With every dish served, her heart sank a little. When she saw the nineteen exquisite dishes on the table, there were only four words in her eyes: the matter is over.
Ji Wu wanted to do something else, but she couldn't do it anymore. Look, those servants had already blocked the people she had arranged outside. In other words, she couldn't do this evil thing at the wedding banquet today?
"The bride is here."
At this moment, a matchmaker shouted congratulations, and Lin Qingjun walked over slowly with the support of Xiaotao and Xieyang.
Everyone put down their chopsticks and looked over.
Some adults frowned slightly, "Her wedding dress doesn't seem to be very good. I heard she is a concubine of the Lin family? No wonder she looks so shabby."
But just as he finished speaking, he felt a slight chill on his neck. He turned around, but saw no one.
Coincidentally, the person sitting next to him was Jiang Xi, who had climbed over Liu's wall yesterday.
Jiang Xi frowned slightly. If he had known that Ah Xing was so poor, he would have spent some money to buy her a good wedding dress from Wan Chong Xuan, so that she wouldn't be so embarrassed at this moment.
But he replied, "The material of the wedding dress is not very good, but look at the pattern embroidered on it, it is very good and very exquisite."
The gentleman laughed and said, "So what if it's a nice design? Don't forget, she is the Crown Princess of Wu'an Marquis. Her status doesn't allow her to wear this."
Jiang Xi didn't say anything at this moment.
Ji Wu had sharp ears. When she heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up and she rushed over to stand in front of Lin Qingjun.
"Second Miss Lin, has my Wu'an Marquisate offended you? Why are you wearing such a wedding dress? Are you looking down on my Wu'an Marquisate?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked and looked at the bride whose face could not be seen clearly.
