Chapter 546: Growth
Of course, external interactions and deeds are still secondary, and the key is to improve one's ability and cultivation. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Therefore, Peng Jin still urges the children to complete all kinds of homework on time, teaches them the principles of life, and hopes to cultivate them into people with firm will, etiquette, excellent ability, and flexibility.
Mothers always want their children to be the best people in the world.
And Nuan Nuan and Liu Zhan and Liu Che did not disappoint Peng Jin, they have always done a good job and made rapid progress.
In midsummer, the lotus flowers in the back garden burst out one after another, some hiding among the layers of lotus leaves, and some standing upright, with different styles and different postures, which are equally pleasant.
Peng Jin began to post and invited the ladies of all familiar families to come to the house to enjoy the lotus flowers.
Nuan Nuan and Liu Zhan and Liu Che urged her on the side: "Mother, don't forget to post to Mrs. Josephine, as well as Kate, John, and Elizabeth!" ”
They had been looking forward to this day for a long time!
"Got it!" Peng Jin smiled, picked out a copy of the post that had been written under his hand, and handed it to the three children, "Look, their post has already been written!" ”
Nuan Nuan hurriedly took it, opened it and looked at it, and immediately smiled and said happily: "That's really good!" They have never had any friends in the capital, so they just took this opportunity to meet more people and save them from being bored and lonely. ”
Peng Jin still has a large family to take care of, and there is no way to take care of Mrs. Josephine and their mother and son all the time, and finding opportunities to expand their circle of friends is the best way to help them.
"Then you have to be a good little host and share the responsibility of taking care of the guests for your mother." Peng Jin smiled and admonished.
The three children nodded in unison.
"Mother, please rest assured, just leave it to us!" Nuan Nuan said confidently.
"Well, my mother is going to ask Kate, John, and Elizabeth to help you entertain the guests when the time comes." Peng Jin made additional requests, "So when the time comes, you must not only be good little hosts and receive guests, but also help them appropriately." ”
The people of the capital have always regarded themselves very highly, and at first they were disdainful of the family members of officials who had served in other places for a long time, not to mention the foreigners from Fanbang like Mrs. Josephine's mother and son.
Daqi is the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, the capital is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the countries around Daqi are all wild places, inhabited by some uncivilized barbarians, which is the inherent prejudice of many powerful people in the capital.
If Josephine's family wants to reverse the prejudice of the people in the capital against them, they can't just rely on her to say good things for them, but more importantly, they have to show real skills to convince everyone.
For this gathering, Peng Jin invited her mother, who was familiar with the etiquette of coming and going in the capital, to teach Mrs. Josephine and her three children a few days earlier, and tried to be foolproof.
Two days ago, Peng Jin also went to check the results, and the results were very satisfactory, and the mother and son all responded appropriately and behaved appropriately.
When Nuan Nuan and Liu Zhan and Liu Che heard Peng Jin say this, they all nodded in response, and replied confidently: "Leave it to us, mother, just rest assured!" ”
Seeing that the three children were so righteous and confident, Peng Jin couldn't help but smile with relief.
Wait until the tenth day of the first month of June, the lotus flowers in the back garden gradually bloom, the white purity, the red warmth, between the layers of green leaves, the height is staggered, the grace is graceful, the breeze blows, the wisps of lotus fragrance are like the faint singing on the tall buildings in the distance, faintly come, refreshing people's hearts.
The night before, Mrs. Josephine had brought the three siblings, Kate, John, and Elizabeth, to the Liu Mansion in Lantern Lane to make the final preparations before the lotus party.
"You don't have to be nervous, just stay by Nuan Nuan's side when the time comes, just take a hand." Peng Jin saw that Kate, John, and Elizabeth were very nervous, so she smiled and explained softly.
They are the masters of this lotus appreciation party, and Mrs. Josephine's mother and son are just accompanying each other, and others will not be too harsh.
However, thinking that tomorrow would officially receive the ladies of the powerful people in the capital, Mrs. Josephine and her three children were still nervous.
They understood that Peng Jin's arrangement was to eliminate the misunderstanding and prejudice of the people in the capital against their foreigners, and they were very grateful for her kindness, and they also wanted to take this opportunity to prove themselves, so how could they be comforted by Peng Jin's casual words!
Peng Jin saw that she had comforted her for a long time to no avail, so she had to give up, and told Mrs. Josephine and her son about the next day's process again, especially mentioning some small details that were easy to ignore and particularly important, such as the guests going out to congratulate them, etc., and then urged them to rest.
In any case, it is a must to nourish the spirit!
Whether or not they could sleep peacefully was known only to Mrs. Josephine and the children.
But the next morning, when she saw Mrs. Josephine's mother and son, who had been painted with makeup and refreshed, Peng Jin's heart that had been hanging all night finally relaxed.
The two families of eight simply ate some breakfast to cushion their stomachs, and immediately got busy to check and fill in the gaps to ensure the smooth progress of the lotus appreciation party.
After checking the arrangement of the lotus appreciation party for the last time, and seeing that everything was going well and there was no situation, Peng Jin led a group of people to the door to greet the visiting women.
Because it was the first banquet party, it was very important, and it largely determined the future of their family, including Mrs. Josephine's mother and son, in the social circle of the capital, so for the sake of safety, Peng Jin invited people who were close to the Chen family and Wang Jia.
And because she invited Wang Jia, Peng Jin didn't invite Liu Hui to the post at all, lest Liu Hui's "enemy" be very angry when she met, and then make an inappropriate move, ruining the lotus reward party she carefully organized, as well as the results she expected.
Of course, Peng Jin didn't invite all the female relatives of the Liu Mansion in Sancai Lane, they were all time bombs, and they didn't know when they would ignite and explode, hurting others and themselves.
Of course, we must strive to eliminate this known future trouble!
Welcoming guests, appreciating lotus, chanting poetry, tasting tea, rafting......
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
Peng Jin accompanied the guests to enjoy the lotus and talk, and on the other hand, he was distracted and observed the children who were entertaining decently not far away, and he was very satisfied.
Just wait until after lunch, and the lotus viewing party will be over, and then everything will be over!
Chen followed Peng Jin's gaze, and saw that the children were having fun, so he couldn't help but purse his lips and laughed: "Sister Peng has educated the children really well, I still remember that when the children went on an outing on the third day of the third month of March, the children were still a little restrained and sensitive." Now I can entertain guests in such a way that I can behave appropriately, which is really a rapid progress! ”
