Chapter 378 Matchmaking
After everyone exchanged greetings, Mrs. Hu, the mistress of the Wei family, looked at Niu Hongyun with a smile.
"Hongyun is good in everything except marriage. If your Majesty has a suitable young talent, please help Hongyun find one."
After hearing what Mrs. Hu said, Ye Jintang suddenly realized that Mrs. Shi brought Niu Hongyun here not because of the mine, but because of her marriage.
Marriage is a woman’s second life. If the choice is not made well, it may affect Niu Hongyun’s taking over of the mine.
"I just came to Ningchuan City and I am not familiar with everything here. How can I find a suitable candidate? The prince has a few young generals around him, but they are all warriors. How can they be worthy of a beauty like Hongyun?"
Ye Jintang's words were clear. She was not familiar with Ningchuan City and was afraid that she could do nothing about Niu Hongyun's marriage.
"Hongyun is not as good as your majesty said. I heard that there is a general named Shi beside the prince who has never been married. I wonder if your majesty can help match General Shi with my daughter."
Mrs. Shi looked at Ye Jintang hopefully. Before she spoke today, she had carefully inquired about Shi Bin and knew that he was not only the confidant of the King of Qin, but he had also never married. He kept himself clean and had no concubines or mistresses.
More importantly, Shi Bin holds a high official position. If Niu Hongyun really marries him, with his support, she will be able to take over the mine more smoothly in the future. Those who want to suppress her should also consider whether they have the ability to do so.
"General Shi?"
Ye Jintang didn't expect that Mrs. Shi fell in love with Shi Bin. For a moment, she felt mixed emotions and couldn't describe the feeling.
Ye Jintang was afraid that if Shi Bin really got married, the relationship between him and Liuli would really be over.
Liuli has a very strong temper. If Shi Bin marries, she would rather live in pain all her life than tell Shi Bin the truth.
In fact, she still hoped that the two of them could be together one day. They had suffered so much and had not forgotten each other. This relationship should not end in vain.
"Mrs. Shi, I don't dare to agree to this matter, but I can help ask General Shi."
"It would be best if the queen could help speak for us."
Mrs. Shi happily stepped forward and bowed to Ye Jintang. With the help of Princess Qin, the marriage would most likely be successful.
Everyone chatted for a while before the housewarming party began.
The housewarming party was held in the new palace. Even in this cold winter, the house was filled with colorful flowers.
As the ladies entered the room, they were all surprised. The winter in Ningchuan City is always white, without a trace of green.
It was truly amazing that the Princess of Qin used so many flowers to set up the banquet.
Everyone entered the banquet talking in low voices. When they saw that it was a buffet, almost everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes.
They had only seen buffets in books, and this was the first time they had seen one in real life.
"Your Majesty's banquet today is truly an eye-opener for us."
Old Madam Wei couldn't help but praise Ye Jintang.
She had lived in the capital when she was young. In the winter, the noble families in the capital liked to place various flowers at banquets, but they were not the same as the flowers that Ye Jintang placed today.
As for buffets, she had only seen them in summer. This was the first time she had seen one in winter.
"We are stuck in the backyard all day, so we just think about these little things."
Ye Jintang led everyone to their seats with a smile. The thing that was most abundant in her space was flowers. Winter was really boring, and with these flowers to embellish it, her mood would be much better.
Everyone took their seats. All the items on the buffet were exquisite. Even the hand towels placed beside the table for wiping hands were warm.
"Is the running water on your table also hot?"
A faint wisp of hot air can be seen on the buffet, making the entire banquet look like a fairyland.
"Yes, the weather is cold, we eat food slowly, so it gets cold easily. So the food won't get cold in a short time."
“Everyone has a small charcoal stove nearby, so they can put food on it if they don’t have time to eat it.”
After Ye Jintang said this, everyone realized that there was a copper plate in front of each person. At first they thought it was an ordinary plate, but now they found that the bottom of the plate was sunken under the table, and a charcoal basin was placed underneath.
This was the first time the ladies had seen such an exquisite design, and they were all extremely curious.
In fact, this was nothing to Ye Jintang. She simply copied the design of her own hot pot restaurant.
She could host a small hot pot buffet some other day, all she had to do was replace the copper plates with copper hot pots.
Looking at the surprised looks on the ladies' faces, Ye Jintang suddenly had an idea in her mind: why didn't she open a self-service hotpot restaurant?
Food is the most important thing for people, so it will definitely be good to make money in this area.
Well, I can study this matter carefully later.
Soon the buffet began to be served.
The plates used to serve the dishes are also very exquisite. There are plates made of small wooden boats, lotus shapes, peony shapes, and even leaf and lotus leaf shapes.
It was a beautiful sight to see these beautiful plates filled with delicious food floating by on the water.
Even though the ladies in Ningchuan City were well-informed, when they saw such an exquisite buffet, they couldn't help but exclaim that it was truly wonderful.
The dishes prepared by Ye Jintang are not only beautiful, but also very delicious.
She knew that there were few green vegetables in the city in winter, and the most common things on the table were various vegetables, including vegetable rolls with meat, vegetable stir-fry with meat, and various snacks with rich fillings. There were so many of them that the ladies were dazzled.
The buffet brought countless surprises to the ladies, and almost everyone admired Ye Jintang very much. She was able to host such a banquet at such a young age, which showed that she was a very capable person.
In the past, the ladies felt that Xiao Mo gave Ye Jintang the power because he was bewitched by her beauty. Now, they can be sure that Xiao Mo made a wise decision. With Ye Jintang assisting him, at least there will be no mistakes in the palace and all its industries.
The banquet was a great success, and Ye Jintang, the Princess of Qin, received countless praises.
Xiao Mo also held a banquet in the front yard. There were more people on his side, and all the officials, big and small, in the city were invited.
Before Xiao Mo came, they could still focus on the buffet, but as soon as Xiao Mo appeared, everyone's attention was instantly shifted to Xiao Mo.
Some officials last saw Xiao Mo when he first came to Ningchuan City. At that time, Xiao Mo was sitting in a wheelchair and had great difficulty moving.
But this time, Xiao Mo gave many people a big surprise, or maybe a shock?
He, who had been sitting in a wheelchair, actually stood up. Although he was still holding a crutch in his hand, from the way he walked, it seemed that the injury on his leg was almost healed.
Xiao Mo's leg injury has healed, which means that for many people the gears of fate have begun to change.
