One Hundred and Forty-Four: Attending a Banquet

  The British Embassy is one of the four national dukes who opened the country, and it is also one of the two remaining national dukes in the current Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, this time the eldest granddaughter of the National Duke's Mansion got married, and the guests came to the door continuously, the carriages and horses were like a stream, and the scene was very lively.

  The British princess and her eldest daughter-in-law went to the second gate to welcome the female guests. When they saw the wife of the Marquis of Changning, they were immediately delighted. They quickly pushed aside their niece and sister-in-law and rushed forward, laughing before speaking: "Ah, I've finally waited for you!"

  The madam was supported by her, and several ladies-in-waiting surrounded her to greet her, also smiling: "Today there are so many guests, I'm afraid you'll be busy to death, how can you still wait for us specially?"

  The eldest daughter-in-law of the British princess, Yang, seeing her mother-in-law's face, hastily interjected with a smile: "Isn't it just because we're waiting for our little fairy to sit on the bed? If she weren't here today, where would we find someone to go?"

  "Speaking of which." The madam stopped and looked at the three girls beside her, slightly suppressing the smile on her face, saying with a playful tone: "Others don't know, but you all do. Little Liu is still in mourning after all, so it's not right for her to come. But since Master Fengshui said it doesn't matter, we'll just consider it as a family gathering and brought her along. However, the old lady has given instructions that if outsiders want to see her, they are not allowed."

  The British princess looked at her eldest daughter-in-law and nodded: "Of course, of course." She glanced at Song Chuyi in front of the big lady and was about to say a few words when she heard the loud announcement outside that Princess Zhen Nan and Madame Gong of Korea had arrived. Although Princess Zhen Nan never liked to show off her royal status, it couldn't be ignored after all. The princess smiled and told her eldest daughter-in-law to take them to the Jinxiu Pavilion where her daughter now lived: "Be careful, don't make any mistakes."

  Yang nodded hastily and said yes.

  Two maidservants immediately came forward to lead the way for Madame Wang: "The other ladies are all at Baochai's place, we'll take you there, Mistress Shi."

  The old lady also didn't want to follow the unmarried daughter back home to send dowry, upon hearing this she nodded her head and specially instructed Song ChuYi: "Listen to Nian'er's words in all matters, no need to be afraid."

  Yang smiled and said: "Don't worry, the aunts all understand the rules, we're also keeping an eye on things from the side."

  She made a joke and interrupted, so the madam couldn't say anything else, she laughed and scolded for a couple of sentences then took the maids to Bishuiju.

  The embroidery building of the British Consulate's young lady is built in their family garden, a two-story exquisite embroidery building with two banana trees planted in front of the door, which are now blooming with large yellow and red flowers, and at the base are densely packed small flower pots, under which lies a sleepy peacock, looking extremely pleasing to the eye.

  Upon hearing the sound of human voices, the peacock shook its body and stood up. With a proud and arrogant demeanor, it took a few steps forward before suddenly spreading out its magnificent plumage, stunning everyone present with its dazzling colors.

  "This is really strange!" Yang pulled up Song Chuyi with one hand and Song Chuhui with the other, and after being surprised for a moment, he hurriedly laughed: "This peacock has never spread its screen since it came, isn't this what Mr. Fengshui said? You little girl are a lucky star!"

  As they spoke, they had already entered the courtyard. The courtyard only had a patch of shrubs on either side of the wall corners, with many morning glory vines entwined above them, presenting a different scene from outside.

  Although there were occasionally servant girls and wives carrying things in and out of the courtyard, everything was orderly and not at all noisy.

  The second floor already had several noble ladies who were familiar with Shen Da Niang gathered around in twos and threes, and when they saw Yang Shi, they hurriedly stood up to greet her.

  Yang smiled and pressed them all down before looking at Shen Da Niang and smiling: "The ladies from the Chang Ning Bo Fu have come to add to your dowry, Yuan Niang."

  Shen Hui quickly got up and thanked him, then pulled the youngest Song Chuyi with one hand: "Is this the sixth lady of the Bo Mansion? Today, I'll have to trouble you."

  Song Chuyi didn't expect to hear any news from this young lady's mouth-----in her previous life, she had been in the British embassy for over 20 years and was familiar with everyone in the embassy. This young lady had always been spoiled by He Shi and knew nothing about the dark secrets of the embassy.

  So she just smiled slightly with her head down, and after Song Chuming and Song Chubin had already given their gifts, she took the box from Zi Yun's hand and handed it to her: "For sister to add makeup, wishing sister all the best and peace of mind."

  Shen Hui Xin took it and was busy saying thank you, but Yang Shi had already taken a heavy purse from the maid's hand and handed it to Song Chu Yi, then glanced at the nanny behind Shen Hui Xin.

  The old woman led Song Chuyi forward, lifted the pearl curtain, and opened the tent to see that the maids had changed into new large red quilts, then invited Song Chuyi to sit in the middle.

  The girls laughed and asked Ziyun in green clothes to follow them downstairs to have tea.

  "Don't be afraid, miss." The old woman led several maids to stuff dates, longans and peanuts under the bedding while smiling and comforting Song Chuyi: "Just sit for a bit."

  In her previous life, she was already hated by everyone before she got married. Because of the notorious reputation that preceded her, the Song family didn't even have the face to hold a dowry ceremony for her, so she really knew nothing about it and could only sit still with a suppressed temper.

  She had just sat for less than a stick of incense when she heard another little maid reporting that Miss Chen and the Countess of Yunxiu had arrived. She raised her eyes slightly, and indeed saw Miss Chen smiling brightly as she came forward to add makeup to Shen Hui's heart.

  There was a nanny who helped her get up, holding the tray to let her scatter peanuts and longan on the bed. Finally, she also asked Xiaoyu to put the peanuts, longan, and red dates under the bedding into the gold-plated plate, and let her hold it for Shen Hui Xin.

  Just then, Chen Niang, who was originally sitting with Shen Hui Xin, had already stood up and avoided her, but her eyes were still staring at Song Chu Yi, and she nodded slightly to her.

  This Miss Chen was driven away by Ye Jingchuan without leaving any face, and now she can still see herself with an unchanged expression, as if nothing had happened. Song Chuyi couldn't help but sigh that the inner house really hid dragons and tigers.

  Shen Hui's heart was filled with joy as soon as she received the gift, and immediately, the nanny smiled and congratulated her. The girls around her also rushed forward, smiling and saying auspicious words, creating a lively atmosphere in the room.

  Miss Chen smiled and walked up to Song Chuyi, saying: "Originally wanted to come in person to thank sister for her kindness, but unexpectedly sister's mansion is really a place where people can't revive after death. Sister shouldn't be too heartbroken either. Thought this time wouldn't see each other, didn't expect sister actually came, it's an unexpected joy, sister has become even more beautiful."

  Thank you so much to Miss Jiuxi for the reward, really thank you. Also thank you to Fengdu Feitian and Zili for the rewards, I love you guys. Currently working hard for the three updates in the last ten days of the month.
