My husband is pure and has few desires, but I gave birth to three children in a row
Chapter 453: Summer Banquet
Three days later.
The alley at the side entrance of the county government office was almost full of carriages, all of which were coming to the banquet.
This time, Lu Zhenzhen sent out an invitation to invite only about ten women to the summer banquet.
Among these female relatives, some had previously attended banquets hosted by the wife of the former county magistrate.
As soon as they got off the carriage, several well-dressed maids came forward and led them inside.
Passing through the hanging flower gate is the garden built during the tenure of the previous county magistrate.
These women looked at the garden, not knowing whether it was an illusion or some other reason, but they always felt that the garden had not been changed much. The pavilions and towers were still the same as before, but they looked more pleasing to the eye.
Because the weather was hot, the guests were entertained in the West Flower Hall.
This place is close to the pavilion and connected by a corridor. There are lush flowers and trees on both sides, forming a shade of green. With the help of a bend of running water and the breeze blowing gently, it is cooler than other places.
These female relatives followed the maid to the West Flower Hall. All they saw along the way were lush flowers and green trees. The maids and servants they met were all well-dressed and moved in an orderly manner. When they saw the guests, they knelt down to greet them in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, then stood aside and waited for the guests to pass by.
When we arrived at the West Flower Hall, there was a nanny at the door who was dressed more elegantly. Just by standing there, her demeanor was more impressive than that of many old ladies in other families.
Someone couldn't help but ask in a low voice who this nanny was.
Someone who was well-informed explained to the person nearby that this nanny was of great importance. She was the personal nanny of the county magistrate's wife. It was said that she was specially given to the county lady by the palace. It was also said that she came from the palace of the late queen.
Those who heard it were dumbfounded. It was already amazing that it was bestowed by the palace, but the person who was close to the late queen, wasn't that amazing?
The female members of the family were immediately in awe, and looked at Nanny Ye with a bit more fear and respect.
I originally thought that the county magistrate's wife only sent a nanny to greet them at the door of the flower hall, which was too disrespectful.
At this moment, no one had this thought in mind and felt a little flattered.
When passing in front of Nanny Ye, they couldn't help but straighten their backs to make themselves look more dignified and generous.
Nanny Ye came over with a smile and greeted everyone. When she invited people in, the smiles on everyone's faces were particularly humble.
As we walked in, although it was still early and the corridor was shaded by trees, it was May after all, and everyone had a thin layer of sweat on their heads.
As soon as you enter the West Flower Hall, it is extremely cool, which makes you feel refreshed.
Lu Zhenzhen sat upright, and when she saw Nanny Ye welcoming everyone in, she just smiled and bowed.
The female members of the family immediately bowed and said, "Your servants (common women) pay their respects to the Princess of Le'an—"
Lu Zhenzhen smiled and raised her hand, motioning everyone to stand up and take their seats.
Everyone then stood up and took their seats.
Warm tea and snacks were served immediately.
The tea is the top-grade Longjing, and the dim sum comes in two flavors: Beijing-style dim sum and local South Vietnamese dim sum.
I bowed as soon as I came in. Now that I sat down, everyone was served tea and snacks, and only then did I have time to see what kind of person this Le'an County Lady was.
Lu Zhenzhen wore a sky-blue dress today, looking exceptionally fresh.
She only wore a set of white jade head ornaments on her head, which looked simple and not as gorgeous as the female guests.
But the eyes of these women were very sharp and they could tell at a glance that this was extremely fine white jade, a good thing that they could not buy even with their silver money.
And the azure material on Lu Zhenzhen's body was something they had never seen or even heard of.
For a moment, his attitude became more humble.
Lu Zhenzhen exchanged a few pleasantries and recognized the person, finding that he matched her guess.
The wives of the county lieutenant, the chief clerk, and the county officials, although they were wives of officials, did not dress in a way that was out of the ordinary, perhaps because they had been warned by their husbands or because they were indeed not as wealthy as the wives of the heads of merchant companies.
On the other hand, the wives of the business owners were all vying with each other for beauty.
In such hot weather, everyone is wearing red and purple, and the jewelry on their heads is also shining with gold. There are free gems, which are inlaid on them in large pieces.
When you stretch out your hands, you will see that everyone has at least five or six rings on their fingers, and seven or eight large gold bracelets jingling on their wrists.
The gold pendant on my ear is so big and heavy that it seems like my earlobe can't bear it.
Each one is a living jewelry rack.
Lu Zhenzhen's eyebrows twitched. She had done the same thing when she went to the Lu family to disgust people.
At first I just felt relieved, but now seeing others dressed like this is really an eyesore.
Cough cough, Lu Zhenzhen regained her composure and noticed a female relative sitting in the back who was particularly different.
She was a bit old and her appearance was just ordinary, but there was a hint of shrewdness and courage between her brows.
Compared to the wives of the heads of business houses, her dress was just decent enough. She didn't wear any complicated jewelry, but rather looked clean and refreshing.
Although her attitude was humble, her eyes were clear.
Looking at the seating arrangement and thinking about the self-introductions of the female relatives just now, it turned out to be Lin Dejiang's original wife, Cai.
Sitting next to Cai were two younger women who looked a little nervous. They should be Huang Chunsheng's wife Li and Yu Wenlong's wife Wang.
The three of them have the lowest status among these female relatives. If their men had not attached themselves to Fu Zhiyi, and Fu Zhiyi wanted to use their men, they would probably not be qualified to attend the banquet today.
Lu Zhenzhen just glanced at him twice more, winked at him, and asked him to pay more attention, and that was it.
After chatting for a while, Lu Zhenzhen smiled and said, "I'm setting up this summer banquet today to meet everyone. I should have met you all earlier since I arrived in South Vietnam, but I'm weak and a little uncomfortable with the climate all the way south. I've only recovered after resting for these days. I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting for so long, please don't be offended."
Someone immediately jumped out to flatter her, saying that the county lady was a princess and should take care of her health first. It was a great honor for them that she could take the time to meet them, so there was no reason for them to be surprised.
Lu Zhenzhen smiled and continued, "I love being busy and having fun, and I also like new things. I never know if I'll bother you all in the next few years. Please don't mind me then."
Everyone immediately applauded and kept saying "No, no, no, you're welcome".
They all expressed that if anyone has anything new or interesting in the future, they must post it to Lu Zhenzhen, and they also hope that Lu Zhenzhen will give them face and visit them.
After some chatting and laughing, Lu Zhenzhen said, "It's hot today, so it's not convenient to invite everyone out for a stroll in the garden. Just talking would be boring. I happened to bring something from the capital that's quite popular with the ladies there, so I'd like to invite everyone to play with it and help pass the time."
When everyone heard that it was fun stuff brought from Beijing, their eyes lit up.
