The banquet of the National Teacher's Mansion was selected on a rest day.

On this day, Qin Xun and Mrs. Wang "reviewed" the clothes of their family members in Guanchun Garden, they not only went to the banquet with the whole family today, but also different from other guests in that the car of the National Teacher's Mansion would come to greet them first - because Qin Xun and Mrs. Wang are the grandparents of the Fang period, if you put aside ordinary people and invite your grandparents to the banquet, the granddaughter and grandson-in-law have to come to greet them in person, but Yan Chi, the national teacher, because he enjoys the privileges of the prince, only sent the car to greet him has been attached to the etiquette.

When Mrs. Wang got into the car, she was still chattering with the servant woman who was accompanying her: "These affairs are arranged by the housewife of Qin Fangqi, she is not the only family leader, but even if she is reluctant today, she should also make the car meet her uncle and grandmother." ”

Gao Renkuan's family is indeed looking forward to the car of the National Teacher's Mansion.

But no.

It wasn't until the steward reminded me that if I didn't set off again, I was afraid that I would miss the time, Gao Renkuan had to accept the fact that they didn't enjoy this honor, and first Qu said hatefully: "It must be the Qin family who is making a hindrance and deliberately humiliating us, but she forgot that although Bei'er is a concubine, we are still her elder!" ”

Gao Renkuan endured his anger and glared at his eldest daughter-in-law: "What's the use of saying these words?" If Liuniang is a pointer, can the Qin family dare to be so arrogant? ”

He brushed his sleeves away first, and Qu was so aggrieved that he almost didn't shed tears, so he had to continue to complain to his mother-in-law: "How can this be Bei'er's fault?" Qin's family was born and raised by prostitutes, which not only made foxy methods, but also ruthless, although the national teacher of Biyan was a minister of near luck, he was not a child of a famous family, and he had not been taught by his parents' etiquette when he was young, and he even ate Qin's set more than many gentlemen. Our family Bei'er is a famous lady, and she has known the rules since she was a child, this is a good one, who knows that she has met a ...... with eyes and no beads"

"Be careful." Old Madam Xie knocked Qu's hand down: "Where are we going today, and you are still complaining about Yan Guoshi?" For a while, you can rest so openly. ”

"Ah Jia, Bei'er didn't escape the torture rod because of the accident last time, and whenever my daughter-in-law thinks of Bei'er's suffering, she only feels a piercing heart......"

Riding in the same car, Qu's concubine, that is, Gao Qiniang's mother, couldn't listen to it anymore, she shook the fan: "Although Liuniang is calculated, but if she doesn't really want to harm people's lives, Qin's can't blame her, it's normal for sister-in-law to feel sorry for her daughter, but it shouldn't be to complain about Yan Guoshi, Ajia warns that sister-in-law can beware of trouble from her mouth." ”

Qu Shi was a little worried about her second brother-in-law, although she felt that these words were harsh, but she didn't dare to fight back.

And in front of the National Teacher's Mansion, because it was late, it was inevitable to wait for a while, but the Gao family's car was recognized by other guests, and people kept coming to greet Gao Renkuan, in fact, there was no meaning of squeezing, but Gao Renkuan felt that because he did not enjoy the special treatment of Yan Guoshi, these villains who praised the high and stepped on the low were full of sarcasm in their words, and couldn't help but send their servants to go forward and talk to the steward who welcomed the guests, which meant that he was a distinguished guest in the back of the line, can he let his family cut in line first.

How do you know that the steward's reply is like "the text is not right", what did Yan Guoshi just welcome King Luo and King Huai in, and he was talking with him, I am afraid that he will not be able to spare time to welcome the high minister.

As soon as Gao Renkuan heard the reply, he heard the first voice after listening: "I'm sorry for you to borrow a way, Mrs. Enzhen's car is driving by." ”

It's not that Mrs. Enzhen's subordinates are arrogant, the people in the royal car are wearing the guard uniforms of the National Teacher's Mansion, which is like the National Teacher's Mansion welcoming Mrs. Enzhen to the banquet.

Gao Renkuan closed his eyes and closed the window, and of course he gritted his teeth and hated Fang Qi.

Yan Chi and Fang Qi's son was indeed entertaining with the two princes and their families, and when they heard that Mrs. Su was picked up, Yan Chi got up first: "The two kings Shu Chi and Neizi will be absent for the time being, and they will talk about it at the banquet for a while." ”

This is obviously the intention of going to greet Mrs. Su in person with Fang Qi.

Mrs. Wang was already sitting in the Flower Pavilion at this time, chatting with Peng He and a few other women, she also wondered why she waited for half a day, and the Wang family and the Gao family did not see anyone.

She smiled and said to Qin Fangzi: "It's your uncle and ancestor who have arrived, and you should also go to greet them." ”

Boss Qin Fangzi got up impatiently and walked away, and when she came back, she held back a smile: "The third brother-in-law and the third sister greeted Mrs. Su, and the granddaughter didn't see her uncle." ”

Old Madam Wang had a mistake for a while - which Mrs. Su?

Li, who was accompanying him, secretly screamed in his heart, but was robbed by Peng He's words: "I'm afraid it's not...... Mrs. Eun-jeong, right? ”

"Yes, the third brother-in-law personally called Mrs. Su his mother-in-law." Qin Fangzi finally held back her angry tone, while admiring her grandmother's face that was as black as the bottom of the pot in an instant.

Fang Qi welcomed her mother directly into Qinghuan: "I know that A-Niang is actually impatient to socialize with these people, but today's banquet, if I don't invite A-Niang to come, I can't swallow this breath. ”

As soon as she returned to Guangmaotang and continued to accompany Yan Chi to the next group of guests, she heard that Mrs. Wang asked her to go over, and Yan Chi did not need to accompany the male guests alone at this time, so she naturally had to accompany Fang Qi to deal with today's first provocation first.

Before the time of the feast, the guests are scattered in the flower garden with the inscription "Guitang East", and because the banquet has not yet been officially held, in fact, at this time, the guests also follow the invitation of the stewards of the main family, and they must be chatting with their relatives and friends either in which pavilion, or in which flower hall, or in the pavilion, and will not wander around with etiquette.

As for the "skill" of the host family to entertain guests, it also shows that before the banquet, this is actually a slightly boring time, and the arrangement of the introduction of the seat - familiar with the marriage of relatives and friends is a necessary premise, and often has to consider that the topic of conversation between the male guests and the female relatives is different, and it cannot be generally introduced according to the "home" unit, like Qin Xiangdi, which is naturally the Duke of Zai and his descendants were introduced into the flower hall, as well as Peng Jianxiao and other in-laws to accompany him, and Mrs. Wang and other female relatives were introduced into the Flower Pavilion, and it is impossible to miss Peng He and other habitual flatterers on the side.

The host does not need to flatter everyone, but he must know which guests are indispensable for flattery, and with the help of the usher, satisfy their vanity.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the waiting for the conversation before the banquet is actually a separate table for men and women, whether the co-sitter is talking about the court or the family, there will be no scruples about talking about the court, let alone fighting and arguing, which affects the appetite, and the meal is ruined before it is eaten.

There are always exceptions.

For example, Gao Renkuan, he should have been led to the flower hall where Qin Xun was at this time, but Xu Niang knew that Gao Renkuan was extremely unhappy to see that the people present were flattering Qin Zaizhi, which made him a minister who was overshadowed, so he tried it and simply let Gao Renkuan's family and Mrs. Wang sit in a flower pavilion.

Old Madam Wang saw that Gao Renkuan's family was actually invited to sit down by the servant women of the National Teacher's Mansion, before that, Yan Chi and Fang Qi not only greeted each other in person, but even avoided going to Guangmao Hall to receive tea from the master's house first, and was so slow that her appetite must have been exhausted.

However, Yan Chi really didn't care about Old Madam Wang's appetite.

All the "usual" is actually like a fart in his eyes, he Yan Chi has always acted unreasonably, if anyone thinks he is not polite enough, turn his face, and be an enemy, he is not afraid of offending anyone.

"I'll go with you for a trip, and then you can deal with the bunch of fools who are obviously worthless and inexplicably feel that they are noble and unparalleled in the world, and you don't have to deal with any bullshit etiquette." Before Yan Chiren entered Guitang East, he whispered to Fang to confess.

He is such an arrogant person, where can the woman he likes be crushed by the so-called etiquette, and he must condone Fang Qi's arrogance like him, which is a perfect match and made in heaven.

Fang Qi really stiffened his waist.

Mrs. Wang's actions are quite "measured".

She only asked Fang Qi to come, and she didn't intend to alarm Yan Chi at all, but at this time, seeing that Yan Chi came over, it was actually not unprepared, and the old lady's heart was full of disdain for her granddaughter: I knew that this fox girl would definitely move Yan Guoshi as a backer! It's so stupid, when you can have this face today? If you weren't surnamed Qin, and you weren't Zaizhi's granddaughter, where would Yan Guoshi look at you more.

"The grandmother asked her granddaughter to come, but what is the admonition?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Wang sneered: "I also know that you can't listen to my admonitions, but I can't close my eyes when I watch you do nonsense, so I still have to say something." ”

Of course, Mrs. Wang did not forget the last time, Yan Chi's maintenance of Fang Qi, and she had little patience to listen to her finish speaking, but according to the lesson summarized by the old lady, she was indeed too anxious last time and did not control her voice well, so that Yan Guoshi misunderstood and thought that her words were aimed at him.

"Don't blame me for being so angry for no reason, it's really Sanniang who assisted in the gratuitous banquet for relatives and friends in the name of the housewife of the National Teacher's Mansion today, but before the banquet started, she has so many places that she can't do, if she doesn't correct it in time, today's banquet will become a laughing stock."

Yan Chi pulled a handful of Fang Qi: "Listen to this, the old lady is also kind, don't mock the old lady with a flamboyant tongue, first listen to whether the old lady's words make sense." ”

This is said as if it should be ridiculed if it is unreasonable.

Yan Chi still pulled Fang Qi and sat down in the two empty chairs, and there was no dogma in his eyes that the elders should stand and listen to the teachings of the juniors.

Of course, none of the men and women in the room dared to provoke Yan Chi, but Peng He looked at Mrs. Wang's embarrassed face, and Mrs. Xie and so on, especially Mrs. Li in the Xiangdi, who still seemed to be holding back a smile, so she had to bite the bullet to ease the atmosphere, so that Mrs. Wang's words could continue.

hurriedly put on a smile: "Yan Guoshi's words are funny, and it is also to comfort the old lady not to be too anxious, the old lady is really in a hurry, but what she planned was to remind her in a gentle voice, not to punish the junior today." ”

When Fang Qi heard this, he pretended to get up: "If it weren't for He Niangzi's reminder, I would have forgotten the mother-in-law's punishment and I could only stand and receive it, and blame me for only remembering the etiquette of the three subordinates, thinking that the mother-in-law also remembered that the word admonition was really polite just now, but I didn't expect the mother-in-law to really want to be punished...... The wife was angry, although Sanniang was no longer a maid, but in fact, she didn't care too much about these etiquette rules, and Sanniang still stood and listened to the words of the wife. ”

Old Madam Wang's mouth, which had just opened, was closed tightly with anger.
