Chapter 208: Struggle for Power
"Lan'er, you go to the kitchen and ask Mother Liu to bring the prepared healthy porridge soup to Mrs. Zhou. www.biquge.info Peng Jin instructed intimately, and personally sent Mrs. Zhou to the main hall to rest, and then turned to the front to greet Cui Shi and the others.
Today's Cui Shi made up a lot, dressed up extremely graceful and rich, and her face was also covered with a thick layer of fat powder, but Peng Jin still saw the tiredness in her eyes at a glance, and she was angry.
Angry at what?
Peng Jin held a heart, squeezed out a smile, saluted Cui's family, and greeted politely and politely: "Mother, please." ”
But it was not like the heartfelt intimacy and pleasure when I met Mrs. Zhou, let alone holding Cui's arm, even if the person stood one step away from Cui's, polite and detached.
Peng Jin is not afraid of the Cui family, but he is very afraid that the Cui family will stir up a good banquet. At that time, no matter who wins or loses, for Liu Zhi, it will be a fiasco, and it will be just a joke.
Cui Shi nodded, Peng Jin's respect made the depression in her heart that she had been holding back for a few days, and it was slightly reduced.
Liu Ke actually knew that Liu Zhi had extremely rich private property outside and a lot of useful connections, so he picked his nose and eyes at her all day long, and he didn't have a good face.
Forget it, Liu Ke actually doted on Aunt Liu more and more because of this, and even added several more valuable dowries to Liu Xuan, almost catching up with the dowry she prepared for Liu Hui in private!
This made Cui Shi feel a great threat!
In the past few days, Cui's heart has been anxious, worried and angry, and he is so anxious that he has acne on his face, and he can only rely on thick fat powder to cover it.
At this moment, Peng Jin's respect finally made Cui's family feel comfortable.
Anyway, Liu Shi and Peng Jin are her sons and daughters-in-law, and they all have to respect her! As long as you take down Liu Zhi and Peng Jin, you are not afraid that Liu Ke will not take the initiative to show her softness!
As for Peng Jin's estrangement or something, Cui Shi didn't look at it at all, she was used to being high, only others respected her, but there was no reason for her to speculate on other people's thoughts.
Peng Jin greeted the Wang family and the Li family who were following the Cui family again, and asked politely: "Why didn't the three sisters come?" ”
Cui snorted lightly.
Wang immediately understood, and replied with a smile: "Isn't it that Sister Xuan is about to leave for Shanghe County in the near future, so the three of them stay at home!" One is to help Sister Xuan prepare for marriage, and the other is to get close to each other.
After all, Shanghe County is far away from the mountains and rivers, and when Sister Xuan gets married, their sisters don't know when they will see each other again. ”
As she spoke, Wang's tone changed from joy to sadness, and she barely took a handkerchief to print her eyes to express her reluctance to Liu Xuan.
To say that in order to please Liu Xuan, Liu He accompanied her with a shy face to prepare a dowry and gossip, Peng Jin still believed it.
Although Liu Xuan has always looked down on Liu He's submissive and thief-eyed appearance, she either ignores her or sneers.
As for Liu Hui, hehe, will she still be in the mood to help others prepare for marriage at this time?
She should be busy finding another family business for herself that is better than the Lin family!
Peng Jin saw it clearly, and mocked the Wang family for whitewashing the peace in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, and echoed: "What sister-in-law said is true." I hope that Xuanmei will be happy after she gets married, and she and her sister-in-law will have a prosperous day with her sister-in-law! ”
Cui's is the most impatient for others to mention Liu Xuan's marriage, Liu Hui has just been divorced, but Liu Xuan can still happily prepare to be her county lady, this world is really unfair!
"Alright, let's talk about it later." Cui Shi interrupted Peng Jin and Wang's greetings, frowned, and said, "The guests will be here in a while, so it's the most important thing to see if everything is ready first!" Your sister-in-law has presided over the Chung Yeung Festival banquet, and she knows the things very well, so if you have time to talk about this, it is better to ask her about the banquet first. ”
Cui Shi said, already walking towards the courtyard with his feet raised.
Peng Jin put away the conversation and took the opportunity to discuss the banquet with the Wang family.
At first, the Wang family only praised Peng Jin perfunctorily for the sake of face, but later saw that Peng Jin arranged it very properly and carefully, and even the official rooms of the ladies were temporarily set up in two other places in case of emergency, so he immediately put away the previous contempt, and saw that the inner and outer courtyards were all cleaned up and arranged in an orderly manner, and couldn't help but praise sincerely: "The third brother and sister arranged it very properly, but I underestimated you before." ”
The joke in the second half of the sentence inevitably carries some sour vinegar.
Even the Li family looked surprised.
"Where can I do so well!" Peng Jin waved his hand and smiled, "This is all the wife of the Guozi Priest Jiu Zhou, who came to help me arrange the arrangement in advance." Mrs. Zhou came early this morning, and pointed me out one by one inside and outside the courtyard. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to do it so properly and thoughtfully on my own! ”
"Mrs. Zhou?!" Cui Shi asked in surprise, and then taught him unhappily, "There are me and your grandmother at home, and your sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, you don't ask us for advice, but go and ask for help from an outsider!" ”
Peng Jin smiled and retorted unhurriedly: "Mother's words are not right. This time, Mrs. Zhou is the mother of my sister-in-law, and seeing that I am embarrassed by the banquet and no one can help me, she cares and guides, which is also her loving heart as an elder; In these two cases, it was not me who asked Mrs. Zhou for help, but Mrs. Zhou who helped her and took the initiative to get up early to help! ”
As for you family members, apart from showing your face before the feast, sitting back and enjoying the glory, when do you really want to come over and help me?
Cui Shi was speechless by Peng Jin's complaints, so he had to snort indignantly and walked quickly to the main hall of the inner courtyard.
She can't let Mrs. Zhou steal the limelight from an outsider!
If you don't go back, maybe Liu Ke will have to deal with her!
She can't make another mistake at this time and let Aunt Liu and Liu Xuan's mother and daughter bargain!
The more Cui thought about it, the more anxious he became, and his steps became faster and faster.
By the end, Cui's was almost always trotting.
Peng Jin was pregnant, and although she was three months old, she didn't dare to exercise too much immediately, so she stayed behind not far away, not close, not fast or slow.
In her home, can she still give orders from the Cui family!
The Wang family and the Li family were embarrassed for a long time, and finally decided to keep up with the Cui family first, after all, they will live under the same roof with the Cui family in the future.
As for Peng Jin, the third room has been separated, and it may not be seen several times a year, so it is better to give it up for the time being.
They can't pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelons!
Peng Jin didn't care about the choice of the Wang family and the Li family, and still walked to the main hall at his own pace.
As soon as he entered the main hall, Cui Shi consciously sat down on the main seat on the other side and fought back and forth with Mrs. Zhou. (To be continued.) )
