As for Ursu, why did he only want to host the celebration in the residence and push away the matter of celebrating outside?
This was very obvious! They were celebrating in the residence, and the people who came were all from the residence. It was a family banquet. She and the Fujin were now the first wife and the second wife in the family. It didn't matter who held the family banquet. It was nothing more than a display of who was more favored.
However, if he even snatched the job of celebrating the event to the outside world. That would be an obvious slap to the face of the Fujin! She was not going to gain Hatred Points for herself out of thin air, and it was because of such a thankless thing!
Ursu knew that he and the Fujin would never be friends in their lifetime. They were born to stand on the opposite side of interests, but there was no need to become enemies! She, Ursu, wasn't like those novels about palace strife, where she would either treat the Fujin as a superior or treat the Fujin as an opponent.
The cart before the horse, alright! The most important thing was never Yin He's wives and concubines. It was about the place Ursu occupied in Yinhe's heart.
Was she a wife, a concubine, a friend of the red color, or a plaything on a whim? Of course, feelings needed to be slowly cultivated and accumulated between two people. One mouthful couldn't eat up a fatty. So Ursu had already secretly planned in her heart. She wanted to capture Yin He's heart first, and then control his body. In the end, she would make Yinsi's body and soul belong to Ursu alone.
If she thought of Yinhe as a prince trapped in the castle who needed her to save him. Then his wives and concubines would be the big and small monsters that she would encounter when she went to save Yin He. Ursu's principle was to avoid if he could, to hide if he could, to fight if he couldn't, and to leave if he was defeated. Of course, it would be best if they did not encounter any monsters along the way. However, he knew that it was impossible.
Anyway, the only thing she could do at this stage was to move his heart first and let Yinhe really fall in love with her. However, the reality was not so easy to accept…
It was November 30th, the 40th year of Kangxi. It was a rare sunny day. Although the weather was a little cold, there was plenty of sunshine. In the palace of the ninth son of the emperor, the servants were busy in an orderly manner. Yesterday, the Fujin of the Wanyan clan in Fragrance Yard had instructed that a banquet would be held in the residence today to celebrate the title of Lord!
The servants in the manor had all been rewarded with half a year's salary by the newly conferred Ninth Prince yesterday! Therefore, although the work today might be more tiring than usual, the servants all looked happy and worked extra hard. In Ursu's words,"This is the power of money!”
It was already very cold in Beijing in November. Therefore, Ursu chose the location of the celebration to be in Brocade Pavilion behind the small lake in the back garden.
This Zhuijin Building was a two-story wooden building. Standing on the balcony on the second floor, you could have a panoramic view of the back garden. The first floor was where Yin Yi usually listened to the opera. Because it was often used, the internal cleaning, maintenance, and warmth were done very well.
Since yesterday morning, Ursu had been personally decorating Brocade Garden. From the overall decoration style of the building to the color of the tablecloth on the dining table and the arrangement of flowers, she had personally checked them all. In the evening, he wrote a gold-plated thread to the Fujin, Gege, concubines, and the famous stewards of the inner and outer courts, inviting them to attend the event.
After receiving Wu Ersu's invitation last night, the Fujin of the Dong'e Clan and her nanny, Wang, closed the door of her dormitory and had a secret conversation for a long time. Later, Granny Wang left the inner court to arrange something. There would definitely be a good show waiting for Ursu today. At this moment, Ursu was still completely unaware!
There were only three people who could be considered as proper masters in Yin He's Baylor Mansion: Yin He, Dong E's Yu Er, and Wu Ersu. The only ones who could be considered half a master were the two Gege Liu and Zhu that were given to Yin He. The concubines that he made were all the concubines who received the monthly salary in the mansion. There were a total of eight of them, including Madam Zhou who had been pregnant.
Only these thirteen people could make it to the banquet. They were all family members. Ursu had not seen them since they got married. Yinsi remembered what Ursu said on the second day after their marriage and never mentioned them in front of Ursu. Ursu acted like an ostrich and pretended that they didn't exist.
However, it seemed like he couldn't avoid it now. He had to meet her eventually. Ursu couldn't explain how he felt. Perhaps, she would only be able to taste it when she saw them!
This was also the first time that he wanted to meet Yin He's wives and concubines. They had long been holding back. They all wanted to see what kind of peerless beauty this Ce Fujin, who had held onto Ninth Master for almost three months, looked like.
There was a brand new red carpet at the entrance of Zhuijin Brocade Brothel. The carpet was spread all the way to the stage on the first floor. At both ends of the carpet, there was a round flower rack every one meter. Fresh roses and jasmine flowers were decorated on it, making the building smell like flowers.
The entire Brocade House was red in color. The stage had a red curtain, the round dining table had a red tablecloth, and the curtains were red. Even the servants who came and went had a red ribbon tied around their waists, making them look very happy.
The carpet and flowers naturally divided the first floor into two areas, east and west. There were five large round tables in the east area, which were the seats for the stewards and shopkeepers of the outer courtyard invited by Yin He. There were also five large round tables in the west area, but the stewards and nannies of the residence were invited.
It was not convenient for Yin He's daughter and concubine to meet with the stewards in the outer court, so Wu Ersu arranged for them to be on the second floor of Zhuijin Pavilion. She, Madam Dong 'e, and Yin Yi were also seated here.
Ursu himself felt that it would be very awkward if he sat at the same table as Yin He's wives and concubines! Therefore, she borrowed the method of setting up the table during the emperor's banquet from the television series. In the middle of the hall on the second floor, there were three square tables placed side by side, only the tables were slightly in front of each other. The other ten square tables were arranged in two rows, distributed on both sides of the middle table. It was considered a separate dining system! In this way, the concubines could all see Yin He and did not have to worry about them watching the play.
During the meal and the show, Yin He could stand at the railing on the second floor and accept the wine and flattery of the inner and outer court stewards. If any of the masters wanted to go back to the backyard to rest, they could use the stairs on the second floor to go downstairs.
Ursu had arranged everything well, and this Brocade Deck was indeed as peaceful as she had imagined. It was a ball of joy. However…
"Grandpa! "Try this. I specially asked someone to make fresh fish slices. Dip it in this Japanese specialty mustard sauce and eat it all in one bite. The taste..." Ursu pointed at a new dish on the table and interacted with Yin He.
"Oh!" Yin Yi didn't know the depth of the fish. Before Ursu finished speaking, he had dipped a lot of mustard juice in it and ate the fish in one bite. In an instant, he choked so hard that his tears almost fell.
"Don't open your mouth. Just eat the fish with this strength!”Ursu explained to Yin Yi with a serious expression. He turned around and smiled. She thought to herself, Hmph! I told you to be dissolute, lecherous, and not keep your chastity!”Although Ursu could rationally understand that Yin He had so many wives and concubines, when she saw him in person, she felt completely different.
When Yin He ate the fish, there was nothing to savor other than the freshness, spiciness, and ventilation. The fish meat was indeed very delicious, but it also made him choke and almost shed tears in front of others. Therefore, he said to Ursu with some resentment,""What kind of eating method is this! Why haven't I seen it before? Why didn't you remind me beforehand?”
Before Ursu could retort, Gege Zhu, who was sitting next to Dong E, covered her mouth and looked like she was about to vomit. Ursu was both angry and amused! This fart-wasn't he praising her too quickly? Yinhe had just said that this was not a good way to eat, and she already had the urge to vomit?
She did not serve this dish to every table. Because it was a separate meal system, the sashimi was only served to Yin He. Of course, she did not deny that she had been thinking about how to mess with Yinhe since last night.
Also, didn't the servant who tasted the dishes just now not vomit? He ate it without a tear. This meant that Yinsi's resistance to spiciness was really not good!
Yin Yi also looked at Madam Zhu unhappily. He could say whatever he wanted about Ursu, but he would be angry if anyone was disrespectful to Ursu.
"If you're not feeling well, go back to your room first. You don't have to be a wet blanket here!" Yin He said to Madam Zhu as soon as he came up.
Who knew that after Madam Zhu heard this, her small face turned pale, her eyes rolled back, and she immediately fainted. Fortunately, her personal maid was clever enough to support her, or she would have fallen to the ground. Ursu lowered his head and sneered."Ah ~! What a familiar scene! She must be pregnant!"
Sure enough, the wife of the Fujin, Dong E, called the government doctor. A moment later, the old doctor knelt on the ground and congratulated Yin He,"Congratulations! Congratulations! This is double happiness! Zhu Gege is pregnant!"
"Congratulations!" The two rows of concubines stood up in unison and congratulated Yin He.
Madam Dong E also walked to Yin He's left hand side with a happy face to talk to him.
"This is great, congratulations! She received a reward and had an elder brother! Presumably, if Consort Mother knew, she would definitely be overjoyed. Don't you think so, Wanyan Clan's little sister!”
After hearing the news that Madam Zhu was pregnant, Ursu was one of the only two people who had no expression on her face. When she heard Madam Dong E's question, she also got up and walked to Yin Yi's side (right side!）。
"Fujin, you don't have to be so polite. Just call me Wanyan Ce Fujin! Call me sister ~ I can't bear it!”
