"Mother, these families are illustrious, can they come to the banquet of the He family?" He Liu said with a frown.

Although He Yan is the general of Zhenguo, he is only a second-class official, and these people mentioned above are all first-class officials, how can they look down on them?

"You just do it, and by the way, call your sister's daughter too! If you don't return to the housekeeping right, I will also let Qin Nianbai lose his meat! Mrs. Tai said proudly.

……

Mother Jin took the two maids to Qin Nianbai's courtyard and bowed in a proper manner.

"Second Madam, Mrs. Tai asked the slave maid to come over to inform you, the day after tomorrow is a good day, Mrs. Tai is going to have a banquet for Mrs. Sun Guo, Mrs. Li Taishi, and Mrs. Shangzhuguo to come over to reminisce about the old days, please do it."

Qin Nianbai waved her hand and asked her to get out of here after she finished speaking, wondering in her heart, what kind of calculation is this lady going to make?

If you are not careful, your notoriety will never be recovered, and the housekeeping rights that have just arrived will be taken back by Mrs. Tai!

"Madam, last time we settled in a new house in the courtyard, these people were not invited, Mrs. Tai has not been in the capital for a long time, how can she invite people to come, she will not use this matter as a pretext to find fault!" Xiaoqing looked at the list on the table and said worriedly.

Qin Nianbai sat down calmly and said with a smile: "Xiao Qingzhen is becoming more and more clever, don't forget, our lady has a fate, let's hurry up and tell the housekeeper to handle it, whether people come or not!" ”

After Xiao Qing went out, Caihuan ran over with a panicked look again, "Madam, I just heard the maid say that it seems that I saw Xiao Liu going to the main house where Mrs. Tai lived, shouldn't she stay in prison at the moment?" ”

Qin Nianbai was also taken aback, "Let me think about it!" ”

After careful consideration, she figured out that Mrs. Tai has great powers, and it will not be a problem to get Xiao Liu out of prison.

But she still felt strange, Xiao Liu was the concubine of the Liu family, and she was not treated by Mrs. Tai at all, if not, she would not marry a low-status businessman! Even if Mrs. Tai will send Xiao Liu away for the sake of the Liu family's face, why did she get to the He family again?

Qin Nianbai said: "Xiao Qing, you send someone to keep an eye on Xiao Liu's family and Wang Niannian!" By the way, you prepare a few invitations, invite Mrs. Lin, and wait for the lady to come over! ”

Xiao Qingdao: "Dingyuan Hou eldest lady went to Sanqingguan to pray for her little son earlier, and she hasn't come back for almost a year, I don't know, are you at home?" ”

Qin Nianbai made it difficult, and the people invited by Mrs. Tai were only able to balance one or two with the eldest lady of Dingyuan, and it would take two days for Sanqingguan to come and go......

"Then just call Mrs. Lin, in a few days, let's go see Mrs. Houfu!" Qin Nianbai said lightly, there have been many things during this time, and she has neglected to contact people close to her, and now she knows the importance of connections!

"Yes, it's just ......" Xiaoqing was puzzled, "Madam, you are now the head of the house, why don't you just drive the mother and daughter of the Liu family out to save worry, and you have to guard against it!" ”

Qin Nianbai said calmly: "Since we already know that Xiao Liu's mother and son are used by Mrs. Tai to deal with me, under our noses, it is better than an invisible place!" ”

Xiaoqing also understood a little, and went out to run errands with a smile.

In the afternoon, Qin Nianbai was busy greeting the banquet, and Qin Nianqing came over.

She is dressed very gorgeously, and the brocade she wears looks like that of the palace, the He family is not a relative of the emperor, and it is impossible to have such precious materials!

Qin Nianbai also recognized at a glance the transparent white jade tied around her waist, it was Zhang Quan's!

"Sister, I've come to see you, it's been good lately!" Qin Nianqing smiled and came over to pull Qin Nianbai's hand.

Qin Nianbai sneered and shook his hand away, "Haven't you seen whether I'm good or not?" I'm so small that I can't accommodate your big Buddha, you've seen me, go back! ”

Qin Nianbai's smile froze, if it wasn't for helping Gongzi Zhang, how could she deign to come to Qin Nianbai's cold bench!

She said hypocritically: "I specially brought a gift to see my sister, why did my sister want to drive me away when she met?" Anyway, we are also a family! ”

Qin Nianbai directly pulled her to a secluded water pavilion, and said in a cold tone: "Don't be called sisters and sisters, that jade pendant is Zhang Guifei's reward for Zhang Quan, and there are four pieces in the entire palace!" ”

"Hehe, I already knew this, I don't need you to remind me!" Qin Nianqing covered her mouth and smiled proudly, Qin Nianbai was obviously jealous of her!

"Idiot, you swaggered through the market with Concubine Zhang's jade pendant, for fear that others would not know your relationship with Zhang Quan, don't forget, you are a married woman! You really think Zhang Quan will marry you! Qin Nianbai had a cold face and scolded sharply.

Qin Nianqing clenched her handkerchief, her face turned pale, could it be that Qin Nianbai knew about her and Zhang Gongzi? Besides, Zhang Gongzi won't lie to her!

"Qin Nianbai, you are jealous of me! Don't think I don't know, you secretly sent Qiu Bo to Zhang Gongzi in front of He Yan that day......"

"Smack!"

Before Qin Nianqing could finish speaking, a slap with anger hit her in the face.

"Ahh How dare you hit me! I'm going to tell ......," she yelled.

"Tell Zhang Quan or He Yu?" Qin Nianbai asked coldly.

The hatred in Qin Nianqing's eyes became stronger and stronger, she bit her lower lip and didn't say a word for a long time.

She was also worried that Qin Nianbai would not report herself to He Yu, if she broke Zhang Gongzi's affairs, the rest of her life would be over!

"Qin Nianbai, you wait for me!" Qin Nianqing said viciously, covering his beaten face and leaving!

Qin Nianbai sat on the railing, Qin Nianqing's behavior today, she had already guessed most of it, she hated herself on weekdays, how could she be kind enough to come to see herself with gifts!

It should have been instructed by Zhang Quan, and He Yu didn't know yet, He Yu was also an upright person, Qin Nianbai didn't let He Yanming say it because of He Yu's face before, it seems that it won't work!

Dinner time.

Qin Nianbai had already told He Yan that Mrs. Tai was going to entertain the princes and nobles.

His attitude was gentle, and he said in a gentle tone: "You are in charge of this matter, the sky is falling, and I am on top of it!" ”

Qin Nianbai listened to it, and his heart was very happy.

But when she thought of today's events, she was tasteless again.

He Yan saw that Qin Nianbai was absent-minded, so he sandwiched a piece of meat for her, "Only when you are full can you have the strength to think about things!" ”

Qin Nianbai put down the chopsticks in his hand with a serious expression, "I have something important to discuss with you!" ”

He Yan said: "You say! ”

Qin Nianbai sighed, "Well, it's still the matter of the He family, Qin Nianqing has been here today, her heart is higher than the sky, and her courage has been honed, but He Yu still doesn't know about her and Zhang Quan......"

"He Yu will do it himself, so don't worry about it!" He smiled like nothing and sandwiched another piece of meat for Qin Nianbai.

Qin Nianbai was surprised, "You mean, He Yu already knows?" ”

He Yan didn't speak, but his expression had an indescribable charm.

The next day, He Yan went to the barracks, and the He family banquet was ready, just waiting for someone to start the banquet.

Mrs. Tai put on the court dress of the decree again, held the scepter in her hand, and was supported by Mrs. He and Wang He to stand at the gate to greet the distinguished guests.

In a short time, the carriage of the Guogong Mansion was already slowly coming.

I saw a simple and generous, old and strong old woman coming down from the carriage, Mrs. Tai changed her previous appearance from the high, and walked directly to the carriage diligently, "Ah, old sister, I haven't seen you for decades!" ”

The Duchess also smiled and took Mrs. Tai's hand, "No, in a blink of an eye, we haven't seen each other for almost forty years!" ”

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then asked people to quickly invite the Duchess in.

Mrs. Zheng Taishi and the old lady of Shangzhuguo also arrived one after another, and Mrs. Tai did not wait for each of them, but had to pull the old days.

Mrs. Lin also came, and Qin Nianbai went to pick it up in person.

The banquet officially began, first for the ladies and ladies, and then for the theater garden.

A maid came over to add tea and accidentally bumped into the Duchess of the Kingdom.

Mrs. Tai immediately scolded, "What's the matter? The furzzy is frizzy, don't go down to get the board below! ”

Mother Jin gave the maid a look, and the crying maid went down.

Mrs. Tai said again: "Mother Jin, why don't you go and find the second lady to compensate the Duchess of the country!" ”

"Mrs. Tai, the old slave didn't dare to go, last time I went to invite the second lady with your words, and the old slave lost half his life! Not to mention, the second lady is now the head of the He family! Mother Jin quickly knelt down in fear and said.

Let the Duchess on the side, Mrs. Taishi, and Mrs. Shangzhuguo feel the difference, the second daughter-in-law of the He family, they have also heard some rumors, they do not respect the elders, they have no dignity, they never thought that they even treat Mrs. Tai so domineeringly!

Mrs. Taishi said: "I see that Mrs. He is also in good health, how can she hand over the housekeeping rights?" ”

Mrs. Shangzhuguo was also puzzled: "Even if you don't care about the family, you still have to hold on to the eldest daughter-in-law first, and you can't get the second daughter-in-law's turn!" ”

Mrs. Tai secretly skimmed the faces of the ladies and said with a bitter face: "Hey, my daughter's life is hard, I invited the old sisters to come over today, just thinking, I don't have much time to live, pity my daughter, I don't have the slightest respect from my mother-in-law, I hope you can help you!" ”

Old Mrs. He Liu also wiped her tears, "Mother......"

The Duchess and the other two also had sons and daughters, and they nodded to each other. The Duchess of the Kingdom spoke:

"Hmph, old sister, you are kind-hearted! Mother Jin, you take the people around me to invite your second lady over! ”

Mother Jin glanced at Mrs. Tai's eyes, as if she had received a holy decree, and took the mother-in-law beside Mrs. Guo over.

"Mrs., don't be angry, we are all seventy or eighty years old, be careful!" The old lady of Shangzhuguo also persuaded her.

Mrs. Tai nodded with tears in her eyes and said, "Well, if it weren't for the bad life of my children, I wouldn't be so tormented!" ”

At this time, Qin Nianbai was talking to Mrs. Lin.

"Really, great, sister, you must be very careful, what you eat, especially fetal pills and the like, you must tell yourself to watch carefully!" Qin Nianbai heard that Mrs. Lin was already two months pregnant, and happily admonished.

Mrs. Lin pulled her, "Be quiet, I haven't told my mother-in-law and husband yet, you and Mother Qian, and the personal maid next to me know about this matter!" ”

Qin Nianbai was puzzled, "Why don't you tell Lord Lin, and the old lady, they know, aren't you more hurt?" ”
