Chapter 48 048 Huahui’s high-end game.
Beijing Palace?
Little princess?
No, who is this?
Why did he suddenly invite her to enjoy the flowers?
Haven't you ever dealt with him before?
Xianyu was quite confused, but fortunately the old lady of the Wang family quickly explained it to her.
"Xian girl, you didn't know that the Princess of Beijing likes to be lively. She is a few years younger than your wife. She is the daughter of the Nan'an Palace and is also called a princess."
"She liked to attend various parties when she was still a girl, and this hobby has not changed since she married into the Beijing Prince's Mansion. Unfortunately, because she was not in good health after giving birth, she felt that she was willing but unable to do so, so she has taken a break in the past few years. But although she rarely takes care of these things at home, if other people invite her to a party, she will go six or seven times out of ten."
"Before, their old concubine was ill and the little princess was still young, so they didn't hold many flower viewing parties in Beijing Palace throughout the year. In the past few years, their old concubine passed away, and the little princess gradually grew up, so these kinds of gatherings have become more frequent."
As soon as Mrs. Wang finished speaking, she heard someone outside the door saying with a smile:
"Oh my, isn't that the cause and effect? The old lady knows a lot and even knows these things."
The voice was obviously that of Sister Feng. Her stepmother Li looked at Xianyu's mother Liu helplessly. She was just about to apologize as usual, but Liu quietly shook her hand and indicated that she didn't need to be so restrained and that she would take care of everything. It would be bad if she made the old lady unhappy again.
Then Liu smiled and smoothed things over, saying, "Is it Miss Feng?"
The old lady of the Wang family laughed and said, "Do you even need to ask? Who else has such a voice? Look, the person hasn't arrived yet, but the voice has arrived first. She is really amazing. She is everywhere."
"Look at what you said, old lady. I can't help but get past you. I said I was absent for only a moment, and you must be making up stories about me behind my back."
This time, before he could finish his words, Sister Feng came in smiling.
She walked briskly, her clothes were neat and tidy, her jewelry jingled, and she looked like she was wearing the clothes she wore at home in her daily life.
But when she came closer, I could find that she had a faint scent of camphor on her body, so I guess she must have come directly from the warehouse.
Then she saw her personal maids Ping'er and An'er following behind her, and there were a few other maids and old women following beside them. Each of them had something in her hands, and looking at the exquisite packaging, it seemed that there were some good things inside.
So they went to the warehouse to move things, and moved them here specifically. Could they be preparing for the banquet?
While Xianyu was thinking, the old lady of the Wang family had already teased Feng Jieer with a smile, "You are a smart girl. I haven't even given you any instructions yet, but you have already opened my private vault and sided with your sister. You have taken out all the treasures from my bottom of the box for her?"
Sister Feng laughed and said, "Look at what you are saying, old lady. If you don't agree, how can I dare to open your private vault... Madam, Second Madam, Sister Xian, please judge for yourself. Am I that kind of person?"
As Feng Jie spoke, she pretended to be aggrieved, making full use of her "happy fruit" talent, and soon made everyone in the room, including Old Lady Wang, laugh.
After everyone joked about this topic for a few sentences, they started to look at the things Feng Jieer brought.
It turned out that when the old lady of the Wang family saw that it was a letter from the Beijing Prince's Mansion, and that it specifically wanted to invite Sister Feng and Sister Xianyu, she immediately understood the specifications of this game - it was a high-end game that must be highly valued. Therefore, she immediately ordered Sister Feng to open her private storehouse and take out all the head ornaments and jewelry that had been hidden in the bottom of the box, and prepare to buy some high-end clothes for the two sisters.
Just looking at this arrangement, you can see the old lady Wang’s insight.
The gatherings within the Beijing circle are also very sophisticated.
Different occasions require different specifications of clothing and jewelry. The party organized by Princess Beijing herself can be said to be one of the most prestigious in the entire Beijing circle.
The only occasions that are more high-end than this are the palace parties, where one has to wear imperial clothing and make up according to one's rank. It's more like work than a party...
Therefore, for daily gatherings, the "Four Kings and Eight Dukes" are the highest standards.
Moreover, the Beijing Prince's Mansion is different from other families. Their family's status is the highest even among the "Four Kings and Eight Dukes". Therefore, their family gatherings actually represent the highest standards in the capital.
This is also the reason why the old lady of the Wang family attaches so much importance to it.
If you don't wear something classy enough, you'll be laughed at. And this kind of party usually invites a lot of people. If you really make a mistake, you'll be embarrassed in the whole circle, and people won't know what to do.
Xianyu and Fengjie were surrounded by the old lady of the Wang family, Li, Liu and others as they started to choose jewelry. As expected, the things they bought were of much higher quality than what she and Fengjie used in their daily lives.
Many of the items inside seemed to have come from the palace. They were gifts from the emperor, or at least the dowry given by the old lady of the Wang family when she got married.
From these things, we can see how glorious the old lady of the Wang family was when she got married, and it can also fully prove that the Jia family and the Wang family were really wealthy.
The Jia family, in particular, is worthy of being the head of the Eight Lords, and is only slightly inferior to the families of the four princes of the opposite sex.
Everything is good, and there are a lot of them displayed at once, so how to choose is an important science.
Xianyu and Fengjie are both young girls, so they can't choose anything too expensive or heavy, but they have to be of higher quality, so they have to work hard on the ingenuity.
Speaking of this, the old lady of the Wang family became more eloquent and eloquent.
He also took the opportunity to give Xianyu and the others some general information about Prince Beijing's Mansion.
After talking about Princess Beijing, let’s talk about the little princess of Prince Beijing’s Mansion.
After all, the invitation letter contained the name of this little princess, which meant that she was the protagonist of the party.
So, if you want to go, you must know yourself and know your enemy.
Therefore, the old lady of the Wang family specifically brought up the matter of the little princess, fearing that Xianyu and Fengjie did not know each other's background and might cause trouble.
It turns out that the little princess of the Beijing Prince's Mansion is eleven years old this year. She is the daughter of the Beijing Prince's Consort and is a sister of the current Beijing Prince Shui Rong. She is very much loved by the Beijing Prince and the Beijing Prince's Consort. It is said that she often went to the palace to talk with the Empress Dowager and the princesses. She is a very lively, cute and well-educated girl.
Because this little girl is about the same age as Xianyu and is old enough to socialize, Princess Beijing simply held the flower-viewing banquet in the name of the little princess.
It is now around the Mid-Autumn Festival, the time when chrysanthemums are in full bloom.
The last time I went to Jia's house, I also went to appreciate the chrysanthemums. This time I went to Prince Beijing's Mansion to appreciate the chrysanthemums as well. However, it goes without saying that the chrysanthemums in Prince Beijing's Mansion are definitely different from those in Jia's house.
The people attending the banquet must be different.
The last time I was at the Jia family, it was to welcome the Wang family. They were all relatives, so it was more like a family dinner.
This time we went to Prince Beijing's Mansion, it was a gathering of young girls, a bit like a social gathering.
Of course, the older women in their family also have to go, but they certainly can't all go. Just one will be enough.
The old lady of the Wang family asked everyone to discuss who would be the most suitable person to go. After much deliberation, they finally decided to let Liu take Feng Jieer and Xianyu to go.
Although Madam Liu was the second wife, she was the original wife after all. She was more familiar with such occasions and less likely to make mistakes, so after careful consideration, Mrs. Wang decided to let her go.
As for Mrs. Li from the first house, although she had been married for several years, she was still not as good as Mrs. Liu. Firstly, her family background was slightly inferior to Mrs. Liu's, and secondly, her personality was even more introverted than Mrs. Liu's, which was a headache.
Although Liu also has her own problems, if I have to choose one of the two wives, I would have to choose Liu.
Originally, the old lady of the Wang family had the most suitable personality to attend such social occasions. However, her age and status were not suitable.
With the age and status of the old lady of the Wang family, I am afraid that she could only be invited when the old concubine of the Beijing King was still alive. At the very least, she would be invited to a banquet in the palace, which was an occasion that she had to attend.
It was definitely impossible for her to personally accompany the young ladies to such a gathering. If she really went in person, Princess Beijing would have to come to greet them in person, and other families would laugh at their Wang family for making a fuss over nothing, which would be bad.
So in the end, Madam Liu was chosen to accompany Feng Jieer and Xianyu. This was the safest way.
After all the big and small matters were settled, the women of the Wang family finally breathed a sigh of relief and waited for the right day to come and visit directly.
On August 18, the day agreed upon in the invitation, Mrs. Liu took Feng Jieer and Xianyu and went there early in the morning.
In fact, Prince Beijing's Mansion is not too far from the Wang family. From the location point of view, it is a little farther from the palace than the Wang family. However, their mansion is beautifully built and covers a really large area.
Xianyu stood at the gate of Prince Beijing's mansion, looking at the magnificent gate. Even though she claimed to have seen a lot of the world, she couldn't help but sigh, it was really so big and so luxurious.
It’s worthy of being a prince’s home, it’s really extraordinary.
As for after entering the door, there were changes of cars and sedan chairs, which was like entering a small palace, so I won’t say more.
It was only after we finally entered the flower hall of the palace that today's drama officially began.
The first thing Xianyu saw was a room full of flowers.
It turned out that what the old lady of the Wang family predicted was correct. This time, it was a gathering of young girls from the top powerful circles in the capital.
Of course, every young girl in each family was accompanied by an older female relative. And they were all sisters-in-law and wives, not even a single old lady, so it was obvious that everyone was very well-behaved.
After all, Madam Liu had participated in such gatherings many times before and was not at all stage-shy. After leading Xianyu and Fengjie to greet the host family and exchange formalities, she soon started chatting with the ladies she was familiar with.
Feng Jieer also took Xianyu to start socializing with the little girls.
This is also the rule for this kind of gathering.
The wives and grandmothers chat with each other, and the little girls chat about their own things. Everyone does not interfere with each other, but they are closely connected. This is the unspoken rule of communication among the children and relatives of the powerful and wealthy in Beijing.
Feng Jieer had participated in such gatherings several times before, so she had some experience. In addition, she was naturally lively, so she took to it like a fish in water and easily got along with others.
As soon as she walked into the warm room where the little girls were sitting alone, she was warmly greeted by several of them. When she finally found an empty seat and sat down, Xianyu felt a little tired.
Coincidentally, after they sat down, the first person who came to chat with them was Yuanchun's good friend, Ulanara.
The girl was originally sitting alone in the corner. She was very happy to see them and immediately came over and said to Sister Feng:
"Sister Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time. Is this your second sister? She is truly a beautiful lady. After seeing her today, I finally understand what a 'fairy descending to earth' means."
