Chapter 412 Seating
The entire Ningzheng Hall was extremely . Zhen Muring looked at the cheerful scene in front of her with some surprise. These girls seemed to be happier than when she was at home.
“Do you feel different?”
Hearing Yuanyang's question, Zhen Muring nodded, "Master...Won't the master reprimand me?"
Yuanyang smiled and said, "The master loves these girls so much that he can't wait to scold them. These girls don't dare to make too much trouble in the West Mansion. After all, there are many strict maids in the mansion. But in the East Mansion, the master dotes on these girls, so the maids dare not interfere."
"Moreover, these girls also know their limits and will not make things difficult for the master. Therefore, it is our blessing to be able to serve a master like the master. You don't know much about the master yet. As time goes by, you will naturally know the good points ."
Zhen Muring nodded hesitantly. If that was the case, it would indeed be a good thing for her.
After a while, Qingwen came over with the old woman and maids to bring the food.
"Master, the banquet has been prepared in the flower hall. In addition, two tables have been set up in front of Baoxia. Let the girls and their maids eat together."
Jia Cong nodded, and then said to everyone, "Let's go, let's go eat first, and then continue playing after the banquet."
Upon hearing this, everyone followed Jia Cong to the flower hall.
Jia Cong naturally sat in the first seat without any dispute, but the following seating arrangements made everyone a little hesitant.
In terms of seniority, then Youshi, Wang Xifeng and Li Wan are the oldest. However, because they are in the East Palace, Youshi needs to take care of everyone's food and supplies, so Li Wan and Wang Xifeng should sit next to Jia Cong.
However, in terms of status, the two concubines, Zhen Muring and Yuan Yang, both have the status of imperial edicts, and are naturally higher than the other women.
And if we talk about the closeness , is there anyone who would want to surpass Baochai and Daiyu?
Therefore, after Jia Cong sat down, the women hesitated and didn't know how to take their seats.
After taking a look around, Jia Cong laughed and said, "Yuanyang, Mu Ning, why don't you invite Sister Bao and Sister Lin to come and take a seat! My sisters, you are here to take care of the sisters-in-law, so don't neglect them. Sister-in-law, Keqing, you should also sit down today. This is our own small banquet, and there are no outsiders here, so there is no need for you to take care of it. Let Xin'er, Mei'er, Shiya, and Mohen serve."
After thinking for a while, Jia Cong said again, "Qingwen, Xiangling, Xiaoque'er, you don't have to go out, just eat here together."
Yuanyang stepped forward and held Baochai's arm, while Zhen Muring looked at Daiyu, and then the two of them pulled Baochai and Daiyu to sit next to Jia Cong, and they sat down as well.
Youshi and Li Wan sat next to Yuanyang and Zhen Muring, while Wang Xifeng pulled Keqing to sit next to Li Wan.
Sanchun took Xiangyun and Baoqin to sit, Xing Xiuyun sat next to Baoqin, and finally, Qingwen also sat at the last seat with Xiangling and Xiaoqueer with a blushing face.
If they were Jia Cong's maids, they would not be qualified to sit down and eat. Even if they were Jia Cong's aunts and concubines, they had to take care of others and were not qualified to sit down. However, now that Jia Cong had given the order to let Yuanyang and the other two sit down, it was not considered impolite for them to sit down.
Xiangling and Xiao Que'er were fine. Xiangling just smiled stupidly. She knew it would be right to listen to her master. If her master told her to be here, she would be here. As for Xiao Que'er, she was holding Xing Xiuyan's hand and was a little excited. After all, this was her first time to participate in such an occasion.
But Qingwen always felt that the way people looked at her was amusing!
"My master is so mean. He will make himself a laughing stock of others." Qingwen thought shyly in her heart.
Letting them sit down and eat together, wouldn't that tell others that the three of them were the master's concubines? Even though this had been promised long ago, Qingwen still felt a little dizzy in front of everyone.
Everyone sat down, and then began to eat and drink happily.
All the girls were happy and played with each other from time to time. Wang Xifeng's clever mouth was stirring the fire everywhere, which attracted everyone to attack her. Qingwen and Xing Xiuyun ate the most quietly, and even felt a little bored. Xiao Que'er, Xiao Xichun and other younger ones were more noisy, but fortunately they did not sit together, otherwise they would have overturned the table.
Yuanyang took care of everyone around him, whispering to Baochai from time to time, while Daiyu blushed and glared at Jia Cong from time to time. What was this bad guy doing holding her hand? Wasn't he afraid of being seen?
Zhen Muring looked at the joy in the room, but she always felt a little out of place. After all, although everyone at this table knew each other, only Yuanyang and Jia Cong were relatively familiar.
"Why? But it's not to your liking?"
The voice beside her ear brought Zhen Muring back to her senses, "No... No!"
You smiled and poured a glass of wine for Zhen Muring, then said, "You just came to our East Palace not long ago, so you are a little uncomfortable."
"In our mansion, the master is the only legitimate master, and he has a good personality. Therefore, there are usually no secrets in the mansion, let alone disputes or secret calculations. This is why all the girls like to play in our East Mansion."
"You will understand after a while. I am afraid that no other noble mansion can compare to ours. With a kind-hearted master like you, our life will naturally be easy and happy."
"You don't need to be restrained. Look how happy these girls are. The master also enjoys such scenes."
"Besides, we girls are all smart people. As long as we treat each other sincerely, no one will make things difficult for you."
"Now that you are their sister-in-law, no one will say anything if you play around with them."
Zhen Muring looked at Youshi gratefully, "Thank you, Madam."
"There is no need for our family to thank each other. If you are free, come to my courtyard. We women are happy. Although Yuanyang was in the West Mansion before, she is familiar with our East Mansion. Keqing is also kind and gentle, and she will definitely get along well with you."
Holding up the wine cup, Zhen Muring said, "I toast to the Madam!"
Yu Shi smiled and pressed her hand, "Sister Zhen, if it were another day, I would drink this cup of wine no matter what, but I dare not drink it now. Even if you want to toast, you should toast the master first. After the master, there are also Bao Yatou and Lin Yatou. I think you understand the relationship between them."
