Chapter 373 Housewarming
After a period of twists and turns, the Anyonghou Mansion finally ushered in the day of its official relocation.
An Yonghou had already prepared a list and was just waiting for everyone to arrive. His daughter's restaurant was doing very well in the past, but he never showed off to others. Today, he was eager for everyone to come.
Although the guests were all in the new house, the food was still brought over from Kyoto restaurants.
Because this was Qi Ning'an's first official appearance at such an occasion, and it was also a housewarming party, so this time was particularly lively.
The list of guests invited to the banquet by Marquis An Yong was very full, and he wanted to fill all the places in the house with people.
Qi Ningliang was told to wear new clothes and dress up last night, which made his scalp tingle. Ever since the incident with Gu Qingpei, his father has always been weird and he doesn't know what he wants to do.
Qi Ning'an naturally did not escape his father's "clutches", and his father almost picked clothes for him directly.
In addition, Qi Ning'an thought about it for a day, wondering whether to stop the restaurant from operating for a day. Unexpectedly, everyone in the restaurant felt that they could handle it.
Qi Ning'an expressed some disbelief, but Lixia assured him that it was possible. Qi Ning'an then said, "If you are really too busy, just call for a number. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it. I'll also be very busy tomorrow."
It's a banquet at home, so it's unlikely that I'll just leave it alone.
……
The next day, Qi Ning'an was still dreaming when he was awakened by Jin Xi's voice outside.
"Miss, Miss...it's time to wake up. It's already Mao time."
When Qi Ning'an heard this, he almost passed out. Mao hour? On weekdays, he could at least sleep for another two hours.
Unless no one in the entire restaurant was making breakfast, she hadn't gotten up so early in a long time.
While sitting on the edge of the couch, Qi Ning'an still felt that his head was heavy, and he even didn't understand why he had sat up.
Jinbao had already come in with hot water.
Qi Ning'an used to fetch water to wash his face and clean up by himself, but ever since he had Jinxi and Jinbao, he has become increasingly lazy and "degenerate".
"Miss, why are you lying down again? The Marquis will come to urge you soon." Jin Xi looked at Qi Ning'an who was about to fall down again in a daze, and said anxiously.
Qi Ning'an could only half open his eyes, "It's only the morning hour, is there any need to be so anxious?"
Jin Xi continued to call Qi Ning'an for the simple reason that if he didn't wake the young lady up now, he would have to speed up when she was dressing up, and there would be fewer hairstyles that could be done.
Today, besides her own daughter, all the daughters from dukes, earls, this family, and that family will come. If she doesn't dress up well, she will make a fool of herself. She doesn't want her daughter to be embarrassed.
Qi Ning'an finally climbed up with the help of the two little maids.
If I had known, I would not have finished reading the picture book last night. It made me unable to wake up.
Now, all the shops are on track, and Qi Ning'an doesn't have much to do every day. The little ones can take care of things, and she has nothing to worry about.
I've been on a bit of a slouch lately, either strolling around the garden, eating and drinking everywhere, buying sketchbooks and stuff.
Qi Ning sat in front of the dressing table, letting Jin Xi Jin Bao fiddle with her head.
"Miss, do you like this hairstyle?"
"Miss, this lip balm is not suitable for your hairpin today. Please sit down and let me fix it."
……
In addition to Jinxi Jinbao's cautiousness and worry, there were also the smiling faces of everyone in the restaurant.
Qi Ning'an is kind to people, and to everyone.
Everyone has seen how she has been through this past year. Although it’s not to say that she has been bad to anyone, by comparison, everyone always feels that the young lady is a little lonely.
Before Marquis An Yong appeared and recognized the young lady, the young lady gave people the impression of being very mature and steady. Many times, when everyone was confused, she could still calmly find a solution, which was truly admirable, and one could not help but follow her all the way forward.
But Marquis An Yong appeared and found the young lady.
From then on, perhaps the young lady herself did not realize that her whole person seemed to have slowly changed.
You can stay in bed as long as a kid and not be afraid of being bullied. You don’t even have to be afraid of those little things and live your life cautiously.
You know, in the past, young ladies had to be very cautious when accepting a banquet, for fear that one careless mistake would bring about a fatal disaster.
In the past, when those people talked nonsense in the restaurant, the young lady could only respond in a sarcastic tone or rack her brains to fight them.
It's not like now. Everyone can feel that the young lady seems to be much more relaxed and not as anxious as before.
"Oh, Jinxi, how can I fit so many things on my head!!!"
Qi Ning'an, who was now fully awake, looked at himself in the bronze mirror, then looked at the richness of his body, and was slightly shocked.
I had only seen other people wearing gold and silver like this before, and I thought it was just an effect from movies and TV dramas. It wasn't until I traveled back to ancient times that I realized there were really people who could do this, filling their entire heads and every place on their bodies that could be hung with ornaments. It was amazing.
"Miss, you are the host today. Although it does look gorgeous, it is not as extravagant as you want. Today, the master is going to introduce you to everyone, so it has to be more grand. Besides, I only brought two of the gifts given by the Queen Mother before, which are not extravagant."
Jin Xi seemed very satisfied with his results. He looked around at Qi Ningan and said it looked very good.
Jin Bao also praised Qi Ning'an, and Qi Ning'an finally relaxed his brows. It looked good, but tiring.
"Well, let's take some down. Although I am the host today, I don't need to use so much strength. It would be bad if people said I was a bumpkin and wanted to take out all the good things at once when I rarely get them."
Qi Ning'an spoke seriously, but in fact she was very simple-minded. This was really too much, please let her go.
It looks like she will be busy in the front and back of the hall today. By then, carrying so many things with her, it will feel like she is doing weight-bearing training.
Jin Xi and Jin Bao were indeed persuaded by Qi Ning'an's words. They looked at the young lady's head and found that it was indeed "pervasive".
After a while of hard work, I finally got my hair done again. Although it's not as gorgeous as before, it's still fresh and elegant.
Qi Ning'an nodded with satisfaction. This way, she still had some of her own flavor. Although the one just now was more gorgeous in comparison, in her eyes, he had some of the temperament of a nouveau riche.
But soon, she understood Jin Xi Jin Bao. When she stood beside her father, she saw that the young ladies who came in were all dressed up, with more gold and silver jewelry than each other, and they were not satisfied until they were covered with jewels.
