The eldest lady knew what Gu Yinlan had annoyed the old lady and was punished to go to the Buddhist temple to search the house. Seeing that the old lady's anger had not yet subsided, she found the topic, "There is another month for the old lady's birthday party, and it has not been held in previous years. This year, the second master was promoted to the official position, and the ninth girl returned to the house. Three joys are coming. This birthday party must be held in a grand and festive manner."

The fourth wife agreed, and then the chat started in the room.

The old lady gradually smiled on her face.

Outside, the maid came in and reported, "The old man and the eldest man returned home and said they had changed their clothes and came."

The old man came in with a long and tiger-like step, and the old man became stronger. The eldest man followed, the third man followed, and the fourth man finally came.

Before seeing Gu She, the old lady asked, "Where is the second child, haven't you come back yet?"

The old man smiled and said, "He just took over the position of Minister of War. He had a lot of things to do and socialize. The Minister of War held a banquet and asked him to go there. I agreed yesterday. It was difficult to refuse, so I would not attend the family banquet."

"What a pity, he should be the last one to be absent," sighed the old lady.

The eldest wife smiled and said, "The second master is also to gain a foothold in the Ministry of War and to be promoted step by step in the future. Yunlan is his relative's daughter. You can have dinner with him every day in the future, and you won't be able to do this meal."

The words of rising step by step meant that the old lady was in the heart. She smiled and said, "Since there is social engagement, let's go to the table and have dinner."

The maids quickly served the food, while Mu led Gu Yunlan to pay tribute to the old man.

When the old man saw that his granddaughter was thin, he seemed out of place with other girls. He sighed a little and gave her a long life lock and told Mu to take good care of Gu Yunlan.

Four tables were placed in the main hall.

The old lady, a few masters, a wife, a girl, a young master, and a aunt in the mansion.

There are eighteen dishes on a table, including meat and vegetables, flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, and having a lot of colors, fragrance and taste, which makes people's appetite greatly boost.

Although there is a rule that you don’t talk about food or sleep, family banquets emphasize harmony in the family. Eat a table without saying a word. There is still any relationship to say, and you will be suffocated to death.

When Gu Xuelan had expected the old lady's birthday party before, he couldn't help asking, "Grandmother's birthday party, what birthday gift are you going to give to grandmother?"

Gu Yulan picked up the dishes and said, "What birthday gift should be kept confidential, of course."

"What if the delivery is heavy?" Gu Xuelan giggled.

Gu Yinlan wiped the corner of her mouth with a veil and said, "It's heavy, the best gift is naturally praised by my grandmother. If the gift is not good, it's very embarrassing."

As she said that, she caught a glimpse of Gu Yunlan eating vegetables. The vegetables fell on the table. She reached out and picked them up and put them in her mouth.

When Gu Yinlan saw this, he hurriedly said, "Dropping the dishes on the table can't be eaten!"

She took the chopsticks and wanted to knock down the dish from Gu Yunlan's hand, but Gu Yunlan shook it and threw the dish into Gu Yinlan's face.

Things happened too quickly and were caught off guard.

At that moment, Gu Yinlan had the desire to kill someone, and Gu Xuelan held back her laughter and felt uncomfortable.

With Gu Yinlan shouting loudly, everyone looked over and saw her embarrassed look.

The dish fell from her face and fell onto her skirt. Her newly made skirt was stained like this and she almost jumped up.

In the room, it was terrible and quiet in an instant, and the needle could be heard.

Minglan sat on Gu Yinlan's right hand. She originally wanted to sit next to Gu Yunlan, but there were regulations on sitting in the mansion and could not sit around. Gu Yinlan was the youngest and walked around and happened to be on Gu Yinlan's left hand.

Minglan left the table, wiped Gu Yunlan's hands with a handkerchief, and taught her, "If the dish falls on the table, you can't eat it."

Gu Yunlan also knew that she had made a mistake, but she felt wronged. She held her mouth in her mouth and cried in her voice, "You can't waste it. Xier said that she would be struck by lightning if she wastes food."

"Xi'er said something wrong."

"Xi'er's mother said the same."

“….”

Is Xier wrong?

What she said was right.

We shouldn't be wasted food, but Yunlan didn't understand it correctly.

Minglan changed his seat and taught Yunlan what was wasteful and what was dirty and couldn't eat, but it seemed that it couldn't make sense. Yunlan had his own understanding, "Xi'er ate it. I saw her steamed bun fall to the ground and picked it up to eat it." The table was cleaner than the ground.

Gu Rulan said, "The table is not clean, and your stomach will hurt after eating it."

"Xi'er doesn't have stomachache. I've eaten it before, but I don't have stomachache," Gu Yunlan said with his head tilted.

Gu Rulan was defeated.

Gu Yunlan said loudly. She didn't feel wrong, but felt wronged. She was hit by chopsticks on the back of her hand, which turned red and painful.

Mu's eyes were red over there, and the old lady sighed. No one blamed Gu Yunlan. It was not her fault. In the village, can we still expect the wet nurse and maid to teach her to be a lady from a family?

Minglan didn't know how to teach, but said, "The food fell on the table or on the ground. We didn't eat it. If you think Xier was doing it right, learn from her, and there will be no sugar people in the future."

Yun Lan held her mouth in her mouth, "I just won't eat it."

"This is how good you are."

"Okay, okay, let's continue to eat," the old lady spoke over there.

Gu Yinlan was no longer willing to sit next to Gu Yunlan, and just changed seats with Minglan. She rubbed the soup of her clothes hard. She was angry and glared at Minglan and said, "You have to pay me a new dress for her!"

Minglan glanced at her, "If you don't tell me, I will compensate you."

Gu Yinlan snorted, glanced at her face, and had a meal.

Half an hour later, the family banquet was used up, and after sitting for a while, they returned to their hospitals.

After returning to Liushuangyuan, Minglan sat down and ordered Bizhu, "Send the Ziqushui Shu brocade, the old lady's newly rewarded me, to the third girl."

Bizhu said after hearing this, "That Shu brocade is beautiful, and can make several sets of skirts, and they will be sent?"

"Send it."

Just a set of skirts, she is not so petty.

Bizhu took out the Shu Jin locked in the box and gave Minglan a look, hoping that she would change her mind, but Minglan was distracted.

Today, Gu Yunlan said that she was wasting food, and she realized that she was thinking too simple. This heavy snowfall was not enough to just buy charcoal.

The road was blocked with heavy snow, and the food outside Kyoto could not be transported in. The food prices on the streets tripled. The poor people usually barely covered their stomachs. Once the food prices rose, they could only endure hunger. In addition, the cold weather was frozen, so they fell ill.

Although the court also provided disaster relief, a bowl of porridge was useless when heavy snow fell.

To control grain prices, you have to transport the grain that is supplied to Kyoto for one month into Beijing in advance before it snows.

She can buy charcoal fires by borrowing money. How can she convince those grain merchants to store grain?

Troubled by this problem, Minglan failed to sleep well overnight.

After thinking about it, there is no better idea than borrowing money to buy food. But what about money? Should I continue to ask Chu Li to borrow money?

This time, she couldn't speak any more.
