Since the last Shi Guogong birthday banquet happened to Bai Xiaochu, the Shi family has been really depressed for a while in the circle of nobles in Kyoto. Some people said that it was because they couldn't get their face after marrying the daughter of the Bai family, and some said that it was because Mrs. Shi suppressed her adopted son and wanted to avoid the limelight.

Anyway, after the depression, you have to come out again. No, in the past few days, the nobles in Kyoto have received invitations from the Shi family one after another.

Late spring and early summer are the best times to enjoy flowers and wine.

In fact, Mrs. Shi originally only wanted to feast on the Sun family, but in the end, she was still unwilling, so she simply invited a few more families and gave herself more opportunities to choose her daughter-in-law. Moreover, taking advantage of this large number of people, you can also inspect Miss Sun Wu's upbringing and character.

When Ning Yun went to ask for peace in the morning, Mrs. Shi told her about the banquet. Ning Yun, as the eldest daughter-in-law, was supposed to lead her subordinate Zhang Luo to prepare, and she had to come forward to assist the housewife in dealing with people and things that day, but Mrs. Shi was very considerate, saying that since Ning Yun was uncomfortable these days, she would be able to raise her in the house with peace of mind; She also said that there were not many people who were invited, and they were all familiar with the Shi family, so she didn't need Ning Yun to come forward, it was enough for her and Mother Wu to bring a few housekeepers and daughters-in-law to preside over the scene.

This is to be replaced by someone else, and I should happily thank my mother-in-law for her partiality. However, would Mrs. Shi be so kind, naturally not.

The preparation before the banquet and the entertainment on the day of the banquet Zhang Luo, although it is a little tired, but it is a necessary skill for women in the deep house. Especially the new daughter-in-law, who was originally in her mother's house, with a housemother and sister-in-law, and the daughter who has not been out of the cabinet is not suitable for too much participation, she can only watch, but she can't actually fight. Now that he is married, this skill is naturally to be exercised and mastered in the in-law's house.

In addition, the banquets in the family are all invited by the famous people in Kyoto. If you can come forward to deal with people, you can not only get to know more people, form your own new circle, but also see the world.

Mrs. Shi obviously understood this, so she didn't leave this good thing to Ning Yun, but pretended to be a "good mother-in-law".

Moreover, when the time comes, the daughter-in-law does not help, but only sees the mother-in-law busy, what do outsiders think? Isn't the scene embarrassing? Mrs. Shi also has the intention of making Ning Yun ugly.

Ning Yun didn't care at all, besides, she was too lazy to socialize, and she was happy to be idle. The first was in Ningfu, and she participated in the banquet at home a lot, and she was impatient with these for a long time. As for making a fool of yourself, it's not that easy.

Ning Yun's only concern is: Will the people of the Ning family come? It stands to reason that the Shi family will send posts to the Ning family. Moreover, the matter of entering the palace has come to an end, and Father Ning should no longer grounded his daughter. I don't know how Sister Bai is doing in the Ning family during this time.

Ning Yun wants to do something for her brother, and the first thing she has to do is to meet the "Bai Xiaochu" of the Ning family.

The Shi family's flower-viewing banquet was set on the fifteenth day of this month, which was the beginning of summer, the sun was warm, and it was not too hot, so Mrs. Shi put the banquet in the garden. Overhead, there is a green flower and rattan shelf, surrounded by a variety of flowers suitable for the scene, so that guests can enjoy the sun and flowers, and the location is also chic.

In order to regain the face she had lost before, Mrs. Shi made great efforts to "enjoy the guests and hosts" this time, not only did she put a lot of effort into the location, but even today's dishes, the entertainment projects of the ladies and girls, Mrs. Shi had to personally screen and arrange, and the troupe to be invited after the meal was one of the best.

Because of this, this banquet is even more tiring than ever. Mrs. Shi got up before dawn, and Wu's mother led several daughters-in-law up and down for a long time, and just had the time to drink tea, the guests had already begun to come to the door, and she hurriedly led people to greet the guests without touching her feet. Once all the guests are welcome in the door, the luncheon will begin...... Mrs. Shi had to take care of it inside and out, and there were many people invited this time, so she was a little overwhelmed, and her clothes were soaked with sweat for several layers.

Compared with her busyness, Ning Yun is much more comfortable. Because Mrs. Ershi exempted her from the rules this day, she slept peacefully until three o'clock in the morning. I went early, and my daughter-in-law didn't help but sat stupidly like a guest, which was naturally embarrassing, so Ning Yun simply slept lazily.

By the time she arrived at the garden, the guests were just about to take their seats, and the time was just right.

Mrs. Shi was in a hurry for a long time, her clothes were soaked with sweat, and when she turned her head to see Ning Yun coming so refreshed, the anger in her heart bubbled out, and she had long forgotten how she calculated others. She pulled her face in front of everyone, and said unhappily: "Brother Feng's daughter-in-law is here." The time is good, if you come a little later, the food will be cold. ”

Someone on the side immediately interjected and responded: "Isn't it?" Sister, you have been busy for most of the day, and your daughter-in-law has just come out, what does it look like. In my opinion, sister, you are just too generous, which is why they are so lazy and unruly. ”

Which is this? So you can't speak. Ning Yun said in her heart: Other people's family affairs, did she get an outsider to intervene? Even if the ancestors come back to teach a lesson, they have to take care of the scene.

Ning Yun twisted her eyebrows and looked at the voice, and saw a woman standing beside Mrs. Shi. This person called Mrs. Shi "sister" in his mouth, but he looked older than Mrs. Shi. Her outfit was obviously made with care, she was dressed in new clothes, her head was also shining with gold, and her jewelry was shining with new light. When he spoke, his eyes were full of flattery to Mrs. Shi.

The whole person can be described in four words: small family spirit.

Ning Yun was not ready to deal with her, so she walked over her directly, stepped forward to help Mrs. Shi's arm, put on a mask of virtuous and virtuous people, pretended not to understand the reproach in Mrs. Shi's words, and said, "I know that my mother is thinking about me!" Thanks to my mother's compassion, let me rest for a few more days, this son is almost raised, I wanted to come out earlier, but I was afraid that my own rules were shallow, and I bumped into you. ”

Ning Yun turned around and owed to the guests present, her voice was crisp and generous: "If Xiao Chu is lazy, don't blame me, nobles." After a while, I'll pour everyone a wine and apologize, but don't leave me with my wine. I'm proud of my mother's favor today! ”

Yixi's words were just right, not only showing the people present that his previous absence was completely Mrs. Shi's meaning, but also the tone was coquettish, and the little daughter-in-law's posture was undoubtedly leaky, which made people feel comfortable when they saw it. Several older people on the field were already smiling, and they all praised Mrs. Shi for getting a good daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Shi still wanted to embarrass Ning Yun in her heart, but she couldn't find a single mistake, so she had to laugh dryly a few times in the end.

No one paid attention to the woman who interjected, she was bored with herself, and she couldn't hold it on her face, so she secretly pulled Mrs. Shi's sleeve. Mrs. Shi also felt embarrassed by her words, so she didn't want to pay attention to her, and bowed her head and drank stuffy tea alone.

The other people present also looked down on the woman's childish spirit, so they gathered in twos and threes to chat, but isolated her.

Just when the scene was embarrassing, a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old came over and took the woman's arm affectionately, intending to relieve the woman.

I saw her looking around, and finally fixed her eyes on Ning Yun's body, and said, "Sister-in-law, don't blame my mother, she likes to joke the most on weekdays, and what she says can't be true." If the sister-in-law is still angry, then Sun Miaoru will not compensate her sister for her mother on this generation. As he spoke, he was about to salute Ning Yun.

Ning Yun, how could she accept this gift, if she accepted it, wouldn't she admit in disguise that she couldn't afford to joke.

So he stopped her with a smile and said, "Sister, don't lift me up, where can I be angry with my aunt." It's just that I don't know anyone, and I don't recognize my aunt! Auntie, don't blame me for not having rules. She shouted "aunt" one by one, and sure enough, she saw Mrs. Shi's eyebrows jumping almost invisibly, and the disgust and disgust in her eyes could not be concealed.

It's no wonder that Mrs. Shi doesn't want to admit this "sister", but this sister and Mrs. Shi's maiden family, Dongpinghou, are not particularly close relatives.

Ning Yun also recognized the identity of this woman from the three words "Sun Miaoru".
