——

The Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion received three invitations from the Taifu Mansion. Baili Peinan learned that it was the Taifu Chen Rui who invited them to attend her housewarming banquet. The cotton snow came one after another in the distance, but the pale world was dyed red by the dusk. He held the pussy under the atrium, and his green robe outlined his straight and charming figure, with hesitation.

The human body and heart may be divided, otherwise why do you still yearn for it even though you know that getting close to the body will cause pain?

He thought indifferently that soon he would lead a group of credible and available civil servants to Cheng County, Qin to promulgate the rumor. This matter was necessary. There were rebellious parties in the country who formed a camp to slander the public office, intending to disturb the hearts of the people and create panic. Only when he came forward to promote the prestige of the office for the government could he calm the hearts of the people in the country and eliminate internal troubles.

It can be said that he was walking on the Wen Road, and the right Prime Minister was the marching order of the thunder power, and it was carried out at the same time.

During the period when he left Xianyang, he was busy with everything. If he did not leave, he would not criticize him, the Taifu could understand.

But he knew there was a reason not to go, but he was still hesitating.

This only shows that he...want to go.

Chen Mu and Mo Jing were inexplicably leniently treated by the Grand Tutor and asked him to send an invitation to the invitation, but they had no friendship with the Grand Tutor. Everything depends on the decision of the left prime minister. If he wanted to go, they would accompany him. If he refused, they would be consistent.

When I opened the invitation again, Baili Peinan saw the white magnolia flower. A scholar once praised it: The fragrance of orchids covers a country. In the eyes of the world, orchids are also a representative of noble and elegant nature.

What does it mean that she gave this orchid on the invitation?

After being silent for a while, Baili Peinan finally couldn't resist the true thoughts in his heart.

"Go back to the Taifu Mansion, I will meet Chen Mu and Mo Jing to go to the banquet together."

On the other side, Gong Zheng, Wei Wei, and some people who Chen Baiqi thought were worthy of friendship, and of course Ji Ying, who was not favored by Chen Baiqi, had received invitations. After receiving everyone's reply, Chen Baiqi ordered to start preparing a banquet menu a few days later, the seats were as follows, the banquet locations, etc.

The kitchen has already hired enough staff, and there is no shortage of everything in the mansion. Wu Changting is like a omnipotent manager and never lets her worry about the miscellaneous affairs in the mansion because he has done everything.

Soon, on the tenth day of January, Chen Baiqi, as the main house, specially changed into a custom-made snow-crystal dark flower robe, but changed the treatment of many details, with a collar on the edge, an embroidered waist seal on the cross collar, which made the waist look even more visible. He also wore a shawl made of white crane feathers, and his feet were beaded, and his whole body was exquisite and neat and cool, which was armed to the crown.

I think because of her identity as a grand tutor, she doesn't dress up as a soft fairy woman on weekdays.

Among a group of men, if she wears a beautiful woman, she will feel a little disrespectful to the court. Therefore, except for the court clothes, she personally designed the other custom-made clothes. They are all neutral, and the gentle women are removed from the feminineness of the gentle women. They have more heroic spirit and straight shoulders and waist stretched. The patterns are often based on plum and orchid, which are suitable for both men and women.

The Taifu Mansion set up a dinner party, which was decorated with lights and colors as soon as the hour of You were at the hour of the year, and the door was opened, and two rows of straight guards were waiting by the door to welcome the guests. Chen Baiqi did not specially hold a grand and grand this time, but was like an ordinary family dinner, and only invited some friends and relatives whom he knew came to gather to add happiness to the new home.

Before the agreed time was reached, people came one after another. Mr. Xiang Bo was the first batch. As soon as he got off the ox cart, he could see that he had dressed up specially, but he would not be too gorgeous and overwhelmed. He brought all the gifts in courtesy and loaded them all. Nan Zhu was carrying the cart out of the cart and fed them to the guards at the door.

It can be seen that Mr. Xiang Bo trusts Chen Baiqi very much. Apart from Nan Zhu, he did not bring anyone else, and he didn't even have a guard. This is not like coming to the political enemy's family for socializing, but instead comes to visit and congratulate him sincerely.

As the host, Chen Baiqi naturally appeared at the door. Besides, the people who came were all guests she invited, so it was more sincere to greet him personally.

Si Jiang felt guilty and Xiangbo was guilty when he saw that he was carrying the salary of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion but became a person from other people's mansion, so he did not stick to her. Xie Yingyi was confirming the seat arrangements for her, connecting the dishes in the kitchen, and using the right tools. Wu Changting was supervising the situation of the staff in the mansion, and making sure that the Taifu Mansion was at home for the first time.

Seeing Mr. Xiang Bo who came early, Chen Baiqi stepped forward to greet him, and opened his mouth to subconsciously model the greeting of others: "Right Prime Minister, please come in, please come in, it's time for someone to come, why should you be so polite to prepare such a generous gift?"

These familiar and old-fashioned words were revealed from Chen Baiqi's tender little fairy, and there was an indescribable sense of strangeness and incongruity.

But she didn't notice it herself. She felt that such standard and authentic greetings were enough to make up for her unskilled welcome skills.

Xiang Bo Xun Huo was not familiar with her side. He looked at her unique outfit, and looked at her, which was both energetic and beautiful. For some reason, when he saw her, his mood would improve for no reason, and flew up like a silent butterfly.

He said, "You have no other relatives in Qin. You need everything in this new mansion, so you don't have to be polite to me."

Chen Baiqi thinks that Mr. Xiang Bo is quite good at being a human being. She wants to be down-to-earth, but he is more down-to-earth than her. Shouldn’t this saying “Everything needs” be a famous saying of the virtuous daughter-in-law complaining to her husband who is not aware of the high cost of food, rice, oil and salt, and she must manage the family thrifty?

She sighed with emotion: "The right-hand man is really a real person."

"It's only true to you." He laughed and said a pun.

She welcomed him into the warm cabinet with flowers, and the cabinet was filled with fire charcoal fire, which was as cold as the room temperature was adjusted. The doors and windows opened were separated by a layer of soft white veil, with white pearls dotted on both corners of the white veil. The wind blows, which can not only circulate air but also block the chill of scraping and removing bones, keeping the indoor temperature always maintained.

"There are two rows of bookshelves, which are filled with some interesting anecdotes and classics I copied in my spare time. If you feel bored, you can read them casually."

She was busy and could not stay for a long time. After a while, the head of Peinan Mountain also came. In addition to him, he was followed by Mo Jing and Chen Mu. They followed the etiquette and came forward to congratulate him and gave him gifts.

Of course, their gifts were handy one by one, not like Mr. Xiang Bo, who pulled a big cart outrageously.

Chen Baiqi smiled and went forward to greet him, and he opened his mouth and said that sentence again.

"The left prime minister, Chen Shaolang, and Hero Mo, come, please come in, please come in, and it's time for someone to come. Why should you be so polite to prepare such a generous gift?"

Baili Peinan, Mo Jing and Chen Mu: “…”

She is not very used to being so greasy, but she also thinks it seems normal. After all, she used to greet other people's guests as hosts.

"The Grand Tutor is kind and dare not refuse. It's just a small gift, and I laughed at you." Baili Peinan bowed and replied in a warm voice.

I have to say that Baili Peinan is worthy of being a teacher. He always has a sense of strict discipline under the precipitation of a scholarly family, which makes people dare not make noise and play when they look at it.

Commonly known as the head teacher looks at your temperament by the window.

Chen Baiqi quickly put away his frivolous attitude, and she responded seriously: "The left prime minister rarely takes time, but Chen Rui has delayed your time."

Seeing that she put away her previous behavior and became as serious and polite as in the officialdom, Baili Peinan felt depressed and secretly reflected on whether he was acting too serious.

He took a deep breath and felt a burning pain coming from every inch of his skin. He pursed the corners of his lips and kept it hidden.

"You are polite to the tutor..."

Chen Baiqi's attention was actually always focused on the mountain chief. After all, since she knew his situation, she saw that his body was restraining it hard, and immediately said: "Fast forward, fast forward, it's cold outside."

She made the door open, deliberately distanced herself from the mountain captain, and asked the concierge to lead them to the warm room for a while.

"Forgive me, there are still guests here in Chen Rui. I will ask the concierge to take you into the mansion for a while and wait until the time is up to prepare for the meal." She stood aside and said with a bow.

Baili Peinan looked at her inquiry, feeling strange.

This is not the first time.

In the past, when he was in the court, every time he was inevitably close to her, he found that she would always stretch the distance as if nothing had happened after a few words with him.

Now that I think about it, it seems that she takes the initiative to avoid it every time.

It was him that hurt. She didn't know about it, and he wouldn't tell anyone about it.

Then why?

It can't be, she knew that as soon as he approached her, he would be hurt by the heat and fire.

No, she won't know...

"Then I'll enter first."

He covered his cold and elegant eyelashes, and the guest followed the host. He, Mo Jing and Chen Mu followed the doorman into the Grand Tutor's Mansion, leaving only Chen Baiqi standing alone at the door with his back.

Next, ox carts came one by one, and the open space in front of their mansion was full. Others passing by looked at the "luxury cars" on the Taifu Mansion, and felt that tomorrow's topic of conversation would be enriched.

After everyone invited on the invitation came to the banquet, Chen Baiqi closed his house and entered.

Nanwan of the Taifu Mansion spent a lot of money to hire hundreds of people to dig a pond of lake water. At this time, it takes less than half a day to divert water to irrigate the pond. A circle of plum trees, red plums and white plums were planted by the pond, and the banquet was set up here.

They set up an open-air tent on the open space and used a thin bamboo and wood bundle to set up a round shed of several meters high. It looked like a yurt, but it was not closed. The shed was covered with thin white yarn, and then rows of lamps were drawn around. The lamp cover was painted on the surface. In an instant, the light at night had their own colors. They were reflected on the permeable white yarn and sprinkled in the lake with swelling waves. They were colorful and colorful.

Chen Baiqi cleverly put in thought, and placed seasonal flowers around the round shed, bells stringed under the lamp, and planted red plum blossoms on the snowy night. The colors and meanings are harmonious, and the scene is arranged very beautifully.

In the shed, she placed more than a dozen mats, which were a round shape with head and tail. In this way, there was no need to sit in the position of superiority and inferiority. Everyone could sit at will. The empty space in the mat lit a bonfire, and the dry firewood was placed in a tree shape, poured with tinder oil, and it was like a fire tree burning hot as it was burned.

The group of them was led into Nanwan by Chen Baiqi, and then they saw the wonderful scenery arranged under their minds. They were stunned for a while, amazed by her uniqueness.

"Why do you think of putting the seats like this?" asked a young doctor who had contact with Chen Baiqi in the palace.

Chen Baiqi paused for a moment, because if the seats were placed according to normal rules, the three dukes and nine ministers were in front of the three dukes, and the three dukes were in front of her, and the left and right were seats for the left and right ministers. Then the Chang of Peinan Mountain must be close to her seat. She didn't want him to suffer even after a meal, so she thought of a solution from it.

"Today, this seat is not particular. Just be a friend and a gathering for dinner. Just be happy. There is no need to pay attention to too much etiquette. These seats are all the same. You can choose to sit at will without being restricted."

"The Grand Tutor is indeed a person who is transcends the world." Someone praised him.

Chen Baiqi waved his hand modestly: "Where are there."

"What are these?" Wei Wei walked to the other side, unable to hide his curiosity.

There were two long tabletops around the round shed. Chen Baiqi also prepared various fruit wines and juices, which were packed in bronze utensils and arranged into a triangle cup tower. There were also utensils on the table. There were various fresh foods on the plate, including sliced ​​meat, chunks of ribs, a piece of white meat and red meat meat balls, and the other was cooked food, and there were various fruits and melons cut into small pieces. They were all in total. After a glance, I felt that there were hundreds of dishes on it.

They were surprised and had some food arrangements that they had never seen before.

"The things on it are all edible. On this side are raw food, which can be cooked and roasted. On this side are cooked and cooked food, which can be eaten directly with the utensil on the seat."

Chen Baiqi asked someone to start placing the tables.

"You can choose your own food when you are dining, and then stand or sit, freely be with others or eat alone."

They had never heard of this way of eating before, and they were quite novel for a while and asked questions repeatedly.

Xie Yingyi came over quietly at this time, followed by a group of people, each of whom held something in his hands, and then placed a small stove with special charcoal fire on each table, with a pottery pottery pot on it, with a soup stock of milky white onion slices in the basin.

"What is this?" They surrounded them and observed.

"Soup pot, you can put all the raw food on that table into the pot and cook it while eating, which has a unique flavor."

Someone calmly brought various dipping sauces onto the table.

Before they could ask questions, Chen Baiqi began to explain: "This dish is a sauce dipped in raw food, this dish is a dry dish dipped in soup pot, this dish is spicy, this dish is honey, and both dishes are used for barbecue.

Gong Zheng was amused by her series of novel ways to eat, and he said, "I was so confused when I saw it."

"Fancy and whistle." Ji Ying hugged her hands in the cool breeze, completely feeling nothing.

"It's not difficult, why not give it a try?"

She went to pick up a piece of fish that was thin like a cicada's wings, passed it in a raw food dish, then looked around, and finally fell in front of Ji Ying, who looked resistant.

She smiled unresistingly and said, "Censor, I wonder if you dare to give it a try?"

"I--Um!"

Chen Baiqi opened his mouth for a moment and stuffed it in extremely roughly.

Ji Ying felt a mouth full of salty sauce and her eyes widened.

"How is it?" She leaned forward, her eyes staring at him with great darkness, as if if he gave a negative answer, she would swallow him in one bite the next moment.

"Gudong", the raw fish was swallowed. Ji Ying's heartbeat was a little fast, half scared and half angry. He stared at her hard, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Taste, beautiful, fresh, sweet!"

Chen Baiqi then raised his lips and smiled with satisfaction, as if the peach blossoms were blooming, the trees were full of red and beautiful red. Ji Ying was stunned.
