After she had put everything she needed on the table, she walked over gracefully.
And her appearance also attracted everyone's attention.
There were also some ladies who couldn't help but cast stunning glances at her.
It's not that she is boasting, her appearance is extraordinary even for a man.
When Jing Ning, who was sitting next to Chu Mu, saw her, he stood up excitedly and pointed at her, "Brother Mu, she..."
Chu Mu, who originally had a dull look on his face, turned his attention to the red carpet when he saw Jing Ning suddenly being so excited.
After seeing her dressed like this, he sat up straight on his chair and stared at her with burning eyes.
But Jingning's reaction made him frown, "Sit down and stop whining."
Jing Ning recognized Ruan Tang. The last time he was scolded by her, he had not yet avenged him. Now that he saw her, he already wanted to go forward and tear her apart.
But Chu Mu spoke, and she had no choice but to sit down angrily.
However, her eyes were still fixed on Ruan Tang, wanting to cut a hole in her body.
Ruan Tang's eyes swept across the seats on both sides, and she naturally noticed Chu Mu's terrifying gaze and Jing Ning's resentful gaze, but she pretended not to see it.
She cleared her throat and spoke in a low voice: "Thank you very much, gentlemen and ladies, for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend the flower viewing banquet in our palace. I am here to thank you all for your presence, His Royal Highness Prince Ning."
Ruan Tang said, bowing to both sides.
Then he said again: "In order to entertain everyone, His Highness Prince Ning specially ordered me to prepare various special programs for everyone. I would like to ask you, is the song just now good?"
"It sounds good, it sounds good..." Ruan Tang's voice fell, and several cheers came from the table.
"It sounds good, so do you still want to listen?"
"If you want, hurry up and get on the show, don't be so long-winded."
"Yes, hurry up and perform the show..."
"..."
In the face of everyone's urging, Ruan Tang was not in a hurry, still smiling. After everyone's voices fell, he slowly said, "Don't be anxious, everyone, you can watch good programs, so next, shall we try something?" Something new?"
As he said this and clapped his hands, a group of maids came out from the corridor one after another, holding trays in their hands. When they walked in front of everyone, they placed the items on the trays on everyone's desks.
After the maids retreated, Ruan Tang spoke again, "The snacks we just served to you are the newly developed snacks of our Prince Ning's Mansion. They are the only ones in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty. Let's try them first."
Everyone looked at each other and began to whisper.
But soon someone picked up the chopsticks and put them in their mouths.
After chewing slowly, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"This snack is really special. It melts in your mouth and is still soft. It's really wonderful."
After the man who had opened his mouth to praise swallowed it, he couldn't help but smack his lips, feeling like he still had something to say.
After hearing his comments, others also started to try it.
Immediately, there was a lot of praise throughout the table.
But during this period, Chu Mu had been looking at her coldly and had no intention of trying.
Jingning saw that Chu Mu refused to eat, so he couldn't bear to eat, but when he heard everyone's praise, he couldn't help but secretly swallow his saliva.
Ruan Tang saw that almost everyone was trying the food, and then he asked, "Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious." Everyone nodded.
Ruan Tang curled his lips in satisfaction.
"This pastry is called 'cream cake'. It is made with milk, eggs, and flour. It is also chilled. Needless to say, it tastes great."
"But the pastry making process is extremely complicated and labor-intensive, and it tests the master's skills. Therefore, I can only give you a small piece to taste, but..."
When Ruan Tang said this, he paused and aroused everyone's interest.
People who have tasted it are still not satisfied with the taste.
"However, for this banquet, His Highness Prince Ning specially ordered the master to make several portions overnight and bring them back to the caring people to taste."
As Ruan Tang said this, he glanced at Chu Mu with a guilty conscience. When he saw that he had no intention of getting angry, he felt relieved.
"A caring person?" Everyone looked at each other again.
How does Prince Ning know which of them are loving?
"But we don't know who the caring person is, so our Highness Prince Ning thought of a way."
"Didn't Suining County suffer from floods some time ago? Although the floods have receded and the court has allocated disaster relief funds, there are still victims who are living in hardship and do not even have a place to settle down. Therefore, His Highness wants to unite everyone to work together for these disasters. The victims of the disaster should help.”
"His Highness has decided to donate one thousand taels, but you don't have to follow His Highness' example. You just need to participate in tonight's tasting event and take photos of these original snacks created by our Prince Ning's Mansion."
After hearing what Ruan Tang said, everyone started whispering among themselves.
Some praised King Ning for being considerate of the people and having the demeanor of a great king.
Some people curled their lips secretly, thinking that Prince Ning was acting.
How could a traitor be so kind?
But Ruan Tang didn't care. After the opera ended, the main course was about to be served.
"I'll tell you the rules now."
As he said this and clapped his hands, soon there was another maid carrying a tray and placing the cakes on the tray on a table in front of Ruan Tang.
"There are ten cakes here. Each person can only bid for one. The starting price is ten taels. You can only add up to five to ten taels each time. The one with the highest price wins, but the upper limit is one hundred taels."
After Ruan Tang finished explaining the rules, everyone started to commotion.
Opinions vary.
Ruan Tang can also understand. After all, some of these noble people have strong financial resources, but there are also those who have empty external affairs.
However, someone soon made a bid, and it was a man sitting in the lower position of Concubine Wan Gui.
"I'll bid first."
Ruan Tang followed the voice and looked over, and saw that the man had a gentle appearance, a handsome face, and was wearing a blue narrow-sleeved robe. He had a graceful demeanor, which made people feel comfortable.
Chu Mu also looked over with this sound, and his eyes narrowed in time.
"Okay, sir, I'll bid you ten taels. Is there any increase in price?"
"I'll add ten taels." It was a woman sitting at the bottom who said.
After she finished speaking, she even glanced at the young master just now provocatively.
"This lady has increased the price by ten taels. Is there anything else you want to increase?"
"I'll add ten taels." Another man bid.
…
After several rounds, until the young man at the beginning came up with one hundred taels, Ruan Tang sealed the deal.
Then she asked the maid to put the cake into the exquisite food box she specially made and gave it to the young master, who also gave the money to the maid.
The maid took the money and walked directly to Ruan Tang and handed it to Ruan Tang. She took the opportunity to tell Ruan Tang the name of the young master.
Ruan Tang took a hundred taels of silver notes and put it in his arms with a smile.
Then he said loudly: "Thank you, Mr. Shen Qianyi, the second son of Zhenguogongfu, for your generosity. I would like to say thank you to you on behalf of the victims."
Then he bowed towards him.
Then he followed the same pattern and sold the remaining nine copies for one hundred taels.
Ruan Tang accepted the money and happily announced the next program.
"Next, please enjoy the singing and dancing of the girl group."
