Mrs. Anguo’s Hongmen Banquet was euphemistically called the Flower Appreciation Banquet.
It is said that her husband doted on Mrs. Anguo very much. After hearing that she liked peach blossoms, he planted a peach blossom in the backyard.
Mrs. Anguo was very useful. Almost every year when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, she would invite people to come and watch them.
However, it was only February at this time, and the peach blossoms had just opened their buds.
Therefore, admiring flowers is an excuse, but the real purpose is to deal with her.
Go ahead, it’s obviously a Hongmen Banquet.
If you don't go, there will definitely be a trick waiting for you.
Based on her understanding of Mrs. Anguo, the hatred she had forged must be avenged.
Jiang Yao made a decision quickly.
Then go and have a meeting yourself and see what Mrs. Anguo's methods are like.
In a blink of an eye, it’s the day of the flower viewing party.
Jiang Yao dressed up and took a carriage to Anguo Mansion.
This mansion was also given by the current Holy Emperor and named after Mrs. Anguo, which shows the current Holy Master's love for Mrs. Anguo.
When Jiang Yao arrived, many carriages were already parked at the door.
She has a lot of face.
Jiang Yao got off the carriage and presented her invitation.
The concierge took one look at everyone in front of her and let them in.
When Jiang Yao arrived, the concierge looked at Jiang Yao for a long time, and then stared at Jiang Yao with appraising eyes.
"Your invitation is different from others..." the concierge said, deliberately trying to embarrass Jiang Yao, "It can't be a fake, right?"
Jiang Yao said: "It turns out to be a lie. Mrs. Anguo didn't invite me, so I'm leaving."
After Jiang Yao finished speaking, she turned around and left.
The concierge was stunned for a moment. He had heard from the housekeeper that he wanted to embarrass and humiliate Jiang Yao, but he didn't say that he wanted to drive him away.
Why doesn't this lady act according to common sense?
The concierge quickly came over and stopped Jiang Yao.
"Madam, I just made a mistake. This invitation is real. Please come in!"
Jiang Yao then turned around and muttered: "The dignified concierge of Anguo Mansion can't tell whether the invitation is genuine or not. It seems that he is not good at handling guests."
The concierge was holding his breath and didn't know what to say.
Jiang Yao entered the door and followed the directions to the flower viewing area. On the way, she met a few acquaintances.
"Mrs. Ji!"
Soon, two ladies came over, one on the left and one on the right, and the three of them walked together.
When we arrived at the location, there were indeed a lot of people.
Jiang Yao counted roughly and found that there were already more than twenty people.
At one glance, she saw Mrs. An Guo.
Mrs. Anguo wore a bright red dress today, which was a bit inconsistent with her age, but it was really dazzling.
In order not to steal her limelight, the other ladies kept a low profile and mostly wore light-colored clothes.
There was another lady standing next to Mrs. Anguo.
The lady's tone was full of compliments: "This peach blossom forest was planted by Mr. Wen out of love for Madam. It is indeed very beautiful. It is the most beautiful peach blossom I have ever seen."
She flattered her repeatedly, making Mrs. Anguo smile all over her face, and her wrinkles became particularly obvious.
Jiang Yao looked at the peach blossoms. They were all buds and had not bloomed yet.
Where do you see the beauty?
However, the arrangement of this flower viewing party is quite interesting.
It's a bit like a literati's meandering water cup.
There is a slow flowing stream.
Various plates with food were placed on the stream.
Whatever you want to eat, you can get it yourself.
Like a modern buffet.
A lot of thought goes into every plate of pastries.
Jiang Yao gained an appetite just by looking at it, and took out a plate with a glass of wine.
When you smell it, there is a faint floral fragrance.
"I heard that Mrs. Ji is from the countryside. She has never drunk such a fine wine, right?"
