But at this time, Li Zhiyi was hiding in the corner.
In her hand she held a roster, which was exactly what Butler Wang was looking for everywhere.
She said conspiratorially.
"I have the list in my hand. Let me see how you greet the guests then!"
After all, this is the birthday banquet of the old lady, which is a big event, so the person standing at the door to greet the guests must not be Butler Wang.
Butler Wang is not qualified to welcome guests at such an important event.
Therefore, the only ones qualified to welcome guests are Chu Mobai and Qian Ruoyu.
But at this time, Chu Mobai was still in the military camp, nervously preparing for the war, so the only one who was qualified to greet guests at the door was Qian Ruoyu.
When welcoming guests, you must have an impression on all the guests. Otherwise, if you cannot call the guests by their names, something will happen!
But what Li Zhiyi didn't know was that Qian Ruoyu had closed his eyes and tried to recall all the people he had seen in his mind.
Then hundreds of people suddenly appeared in Qian Ruoyu's mind, and Qian Ruoyu tried his best to remember their faces, their names, official status, etc.
After all, these characters might come and appear soon, so Qian Ruoyu had to remember all their information.
And time is running out. In less than a stick of incense, guests will probably start arriving one after another.
At this moment, Butler Wang said anxiously from the side.
"Mother, we have a visitor!"
Just when Butler Wang was anxious, Qian Ruoyu slowly opened her eyes.
"nailed it."
She remembered most of the faces she had seen in her mind, but Butler Wang beside her didn't know anything about it.
Then I saw a middle-aged couple getting off the carriage.
When she first saw this middle-aged couple, Qian Ruoyu immediately walked forward with Butler Wang beside her, while Yan'er could only stand on the edge of the door.
"Master Wang of Dali Temple! Mrs. Wang!"
When Qian Ruoyu said this first, the two middle-aged men who had just got off the carriage immediately returned the greeting to Qian Ruoyu.
"I've met Princess Ye!"
Both of them said these words respectfully at the same time.
Then the two people each took out a red envelope, and the servant behind them also held several boxes of gifts.
"Today is the birthday banquet of the old lady. It is a very happy day. We, husband and wife, have come to pay us a visit and offer some small gifts as a token of our sincerity!"
Naturally, Qian Ruoyu was not polite at this occasion. After all, it was the old lady's birthday party and she could not tolerate being polite.
Therefore Qian Ruoyu also said politely.
"Haha, you two are interested! Please come in, please come in!"
After hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, the two of them also declined each other, and then walked into the palace under the leadership of Butler Wang.
And Yan'er also took the little maid beside her to quickly collect the gifts.
First guest, welcome to success!
Li Zhiyi, who was hiding in the corner, was so angry after seeing this scene that she threw the roster in her hand to the ground and stepped on it several times.
I never expected that Qian Ruoyu could remember the names of the guests.
It really made her angry!
When Dan'er saw it, he quickly grabbed Li Zhiyi.
And helped Li Zhiyi pick up the roster from the ground.
"Mother, now is not the time to be anxious!"
"And we have to collect the roster quickly. If they discover it, we will be in trouble."
After hearing these words, Li Zhiyi immediately nodded and followed Dan'er out of the side door.
Qian Ruoyu then began to receive every guest who came.
In the next half hour, Qian Ruoyu greeted dozens of pairs of guests on horseback.
Some couples come together, some come alone, and some even ask the elderly at home to come.
After all, no one dares to neglect the old lady's birthday party.
Therefore, almost all the civil and military personnel of the dynasty came to the palace, and in addition, prominent figures in the entire capital also came one after another, not to mention the princes and nobles.
As more and more guests came, Qian Ruoyu became more and more familiar with them. As for receiving them to their seats, he left it to Butler Wang.
After all, Qian Ruoyu had already revealed their official positions and identities when everyone arrived, so Butler Wang, who was familiar with all this, immediately took them to the corresponding seats.
The princes and nobles can naturally sit in the central hall, which is specially prepared for them.
The remaining positions are arranged according to their status in the imperial court and the capital.
As for the others, naturally they can only sit on the upper part of the corridor.
After all, even if it is the birthday banquet of the old lady, it will naturally be decided based on the grade.
Butler Wang on the side was extremely shocked.
He never expected Qian Ruoyu to be able to receive so many guests so smoothly, and he hardly named any guest wrongly, and even stated his identity clearly.
He never thought that Qian Ruoyu, the newly arrived princess, was even more important than Li Zhiyi, who paid for two cars, and Li Zhiyi didn't even know where he was now.
Long before the birthday banquet of the old lady was about to begin, Butler Wang had already asked his concubine Li Zhiyi.
Because Butler Wang was afraid that something unexpected might happen when receiving guests this time, he thought of asking Li Zhiyi to come over and help with the reception. At least, Li Zhiyi could help Qian Ruoyu when something unexpected happened.
After all, Li Zhiyi has been married into the palace for a while, so she knows what the situation is like.
Even if something unexpected happens, Li Zhiyi can still help a little.
But now it's better, Li Zhiyi is nowhere to be seen, and everything was arranged by Qian Ruoyu, and the arrangement went smoothly.
All this shocked Steward Wang, but Steward Wang was also happy in his heart. After all, he was able to fully welcome the smooth outcome of all this.
After welcoming so many guests, Qian Ruoyu finally clapped her hands and asked Fatty Wang to prepare the dishes when all the guests arrived.
Although the official birthday banquet has not yet begun, Qian Ruoyu gave instructions.
"Prepare to serve some dishes. Don't make our guests wait too anxiously. Let them eat some delicious cold dishes."
After hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, Fatty Wang immediately nodded, then trotted all the way, and then brought over twenty maids to bring the cold dishes.
After all, they were some appetizers, and before this, these people had never thought about having appetizers before the dinner started.
Appetizers are just some simple cold dishes, peanuts, etc.
But because it came from the hands of the great chefs of Dahonglou, the guests all expressed their astonishment after taking a bite.
