Chapter 465 The war begins

After the little maid took note of it, she quickly went out to greet the guests.

It was not until noon that all the guests finally arrived.

When guests come to the door, they must first say hello to the elders. As soon as the ladies and ladies arrived at the guest house and saw the three old feudal lords sitting in the room, they consciously became cautious.

The young man must explain his family's affairs carefully: "Several old ladies are all highly respected elders in Beijing. They are all gathered in Yu Mansion today, but they have given Yu Mansion enough face. What you said in Yu Mansion

Every move and every move is under their noses, so you have to be careful with your words and deeds, and don't cause trouble and refute the face of several elderly people."

The adults' attitudes are rare and solemn. They have been raised well, so they naturally understand the importance.

With the support of the elders, the Yu Mansion is also doing their best to entertain.

The tea was prepared according to everyone's taste, and there was nothing wrong.

The food is also carefully arranged, with a wide variety of dishes, and nothing is the same.

The elders gathered together to listen to the play and chat.

The juniors were also entertained by Yu Youyao.

Song Wanhui held a poetry party and asked for lottery prizes from the elders. A group of girls got together to recite poems and compete against each other. It was really lively.

Qi Sining set up a chess club, and the ladies who didn't like the excitement gathered together to play chess against Yi.

Those who are not good at talents must chat with Tang Yunxi about needlework.

Yu Jianjia also met a few people who loved flowers and plants, and chatted about their experiences in growing flowers.

Yu Shuangbai couldn't sit still, so she inevitably met someone who had similar smells and tastes, so they went to the lotus lake to collect lotus pods together.

When there are more people, it is inevitable that some quarrels will occur. We are all young ladies, and we all know how to behave, so naturally we will not make too much trouble. In addition, Yu Youyao is always on guard, so it does not go too far.

Before you know it, it's time for the feast.

There are also rich preparations on the table. In fact, there are rules for banquets held by large families. Every family comes and goes, and the dishes are somewhat similar. If one family produces good dishes, others will imitate them next time.

The taste is different, but generally the difference is not big.

However, the dishes at Yufu are somewhat fresher.

The same ingredients are used to create different tastes, such as a dish called "Three Eats of Sea Cucumbers".

The first time to eat is to cut the sea cucumber into slices and shreds, and eat it with dipping sauce. It tastes fresh, sweet and refreshing.

The second thing to eat is the fire garlic sea cucumber, which is stir-fried until fragrant and has a stronger taste.

The third meal is sea cucumber medicinal soup, which is light and healthy.

It was obviously three dishes, but it was turned into one dish. People with different tastes can enjoy one dish, and it immediately won the praise of many people.

After the banquet was finished, the Yu Mansion sent someone to bring herbal tea for digestion.

The house is burned with incense that calms and relieves troubles. The fragrance is sweet and deep, and it makes people relax unconsciously. They gather together to chat and laugh, which is also harmonious.

It wasn't until Youshi that all the guests in the mansion were sent out.

Yu Youyao was so tired that her feet were sore and her hands were weak, but she still managed to cheer up: "Second Aunt, you have been tired for a long day. Take a rest and leave the rest to me."

She was tired, and Yao was even more tired than she was.

Mrs. Yao was indeed so tired that her head was swollen. She thought that the servants were doing all the tidying up. Yu Youyao was only responsible for the command. It was not impossible to leave it to her, so he said: "Then it will be troublesome for Yaoyao."

She also understands the banquet this time.

Yu Youyao is not only smart and generous, but also very capable. The arrangement of the crops in Zhuangzi is correct and there is no mistake at all. The arrangement of tea, snacks, fruits and snacks is also very careful. When she greets the guests, she always listens.

Someone praised them for their variety of snacks.

It is also appropriate to entertain the ladies from various prefectures later.

Aunt Xu brought the medicinal food: "Take some medicinal food first to cushion your stomach and recuperate your energy. I will take Chunxiao and Xia Tao to arrange the tidying up."

Just now, Yaoyao had eaten five or six servings at the banquet. After the guests were busy at the banquet, she was really hungry now. She quickly picked up the bowl and put the spoon into the bowl before taking a mouthful of the medicinal porridge.

Li: "How is grandma doing?"

Although grandma didn't interfere with the banquet, it was still noisy all day long.

Nanny Xu smiled and said, "I see that the old lady is in good spirits. She just took some medicinal food and has gone back to Anshou Hall to rest."

As people get older, their lives tend to be colder, and it is inevitable to love being lively.

It's definitely not possible to make noise every day. Once or twice, I meet more people, talk more, and my mind becomes more open.

Yu Youyao was relieved.

After everything was tidied up at home, Yu Youyao went to Anshou Hall.

Yu Zongzheng and his second uncle are both there.

Seeing her coming, Mrs. Yao quickly asked, "Has the house been cleaned up?"

Yu Youyao nodded: "Roughly everything has been sorted out. More details will have to be arranged by the second aunt tomorrow."

After listening to her words, Mrs. Yao smiled: "It's been a hard work for us today. All the work of entertaining guests is done by you. I haven't heard anyone say anything bad about it." At this point

, her smile couldn't help but deepen: "I have heard from many ladies today that they praise you for being polite and capable."

Yu Youyao said quickly: "It was also you who arranged it well, and my sister at home helped me."

Yu Zongshen glanced at Yu Youyao, then lowered his eyes, staring at the walnuts in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

On the other hand, Yu Zongzheng said with some emotion: "Like mother, like daughter. Yaoyao is so capable and energetic, she just followed her mother."

Speaking of this, he also thought about the good fortune of Mrs. Xie after marrying into the Yu Mansion. Only after comparison can we know who is good and who is bad. Compared with Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Yang is simply unbearable.

The atmosphere in the room was slightly tense.

Mrs. Yu then changed the subject: "Today's banquet was held in a decent manner. Each of you contributed your efforts. You have been working hard all day. You are all tired. Go back and rest!"

After returning to Yayuyuan, Yu Youyao collapsed.

It was September 15th in a blink of an eye. The excitement in Beijing had not yet passed, and Yu Youyao did not go out for a walk anymore. The second aunt took Yu Shuangbai for two trips.

As soon as Yu Shuangbai came back, she ran to the main room: "Sister, let me tell you, today we went to the house of the Minister of Household Affairs. The table they prepared was just like ours. They prepared three sea cucumbers and three kinds of sea cucumbers.

There are a few medicinal foods, but they are not as delicious as ours."

Yu Youyao couldn't help but laugh.

Mother Zhao was trained by Aunt Xu and her medicinal diet was very good. It was unmatched by others and it was normal.

In a blink of an eye, it’s late September.

The army that went to Shandong to quell the rebellion finally got news. Yin Huaixi captured the head of Ye Mansion in Jinan, sacrificed his blood to the flag, and threatened his life, and finally declared war on Li Qiguang.

This news made people who had underestimated Yin Huaixi and didn't like the war in Shandong completely shut their mouths.

Killing the head of the Ye Mansion killed the imperial court's majesty that could not tolerate provocation, and destroyed Li Qiguang's morale.
