The noble daughter of the family, even if she sets up a small banquet to entertain good sisters, it is also exquisite.

They have to write invitations in advance and send them out, and they have to make a lot of preparations for this banquet. For example, what tea and snacks to prepare, what dishes to prepare, and what activities the little sisters have to arrange, all of which have to be carefully prepared.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong, there will be a reputation for being frizzy and incompetent, and not being able to run a house. This is very much affected by the future marriage.

If one of the little sisters can't attend the banquet because of something, the banquet won't change because of this.

Otherwise, for the sake of the one who can't come, you release the pigeons of the other little sisters, where do you put the other little sisters? Who is inferior to whom, is someone else's foil?

The old lady said again: "In this way, Ming'er will go to the house in person, and say that I am sick, and Sister Xi'er is also sick, and she has been coughing badly, so it is really not suitable to go to the house for a banquet." She is a small person, although she can draw a few strokes under the guidance of Mr. Deadwood, but it is not a great achievement, and she really dare not let Miss Qi and them wait. Since they are a flower-viewing feast, then hurry up and take advantage of the plum blossoms to open the banquet. Sister Xi can't go to the banquet, I'm really sorry, when she is well, you will take her to the door to accompany the sin. ”

When Zhu heard this, he surrendered happily: "You still have an idea." It's best to do that. ”

The old lady sighed: "It's still that our house has a low status, and others don't take us seriously." Otherwise, how can you force others to go to the banquet without any respect? ”

"Isn't it?" Zhu also sighed.

The child has made such achievements, but the family can't protect her, and she has to face these problems, and Zhu feels extremely uncomfortable.

"Okay, if the child is so capable, our family will gradually get better. Go and prepare a present. The old lady said.

Zhu prepared a gift, and asked people to go to the Weiguo Mansion to send a post. On the second day, she went to the Weiguo Mansion, told the matter, and repeated what the old lady had taught her, and her attitude was very sincere.

The old Duchess is still alive, kind and upright, and is a very good person.

Originally, the old lady of Suiping Bofu pretended to have a stroke, and she also went to visit her once.

Hearing Zhu's words, she said happily: "Sister Xuan must have admired your sister Xi so much, I wanted to invite her to the banquet and get acquainted." The child is sick, you can send someone to say it, where do you need to come to the door to explain it in person? How can this give us peace of mind? ”

After speaking, she asked the old lady Tang's condition again, and asked someone to take an old ginseng for Zhu to take back.

Zhu Shi shirked himself. Helplessly, the old Duchess insisted again and again, saying that it was for the Tang family, and the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family couldn't stop it, so the Zhu family had no choice but to accept it.

As soon as the Zhu family left, the old Duchess sent someone to call Qi Xuan and asked her: "Do you want to invite Miss Zhao Wu from Suiping Bofu to come to the banquet and ask Miss Zhao Sixth to deliver the invitation?" What did you ask Miss Zhao Liu to say? Don't hide it, tell me word for word. ”

When the Zhu family visited, the old Duchess and the Duchess of Guo, as well as several ladies and grandmothers in the house, all came out to accompany the guests, and there were many people sitting in the hall.

Qi Xuan didn't know that Zhu was coming, and when he saw this frame, he felt a little drumming in his heart. As soon as she heard that, she knew what the problem was.

The Duke of Weiguo Mansion is because the old Duchess of the country is an understanding person, and her family education is very strict. Qi Xuan didn't dare to hide anything, so she said what she said that day.

She also knew that she was wrong, and defended: "I just wished she could come and play, that's why I said something like that." Grandmother, I'm sorry, I was wrong. ”

"Hmph, it can be seen that I don't know what to do. I know but still do such a thing, this is because I think that Suiping Bofu is not as good as our house, so you can ignore them and bully them casually? The old Duchess asked with a calm face.

Qi Xuan was said by the second lady. Hearing this, she hurriedly stood up and said, "Sister Xuan doesn't dare." ”

Qi Xuan lowered her head and said, "My granddaughter doesn't dare." ”

The old Duchess knew that not only Qi Xuan, but also her daughters-in-law had such thoughts.

If it weren't for the daughter-in-law who said such a remark in front of Qi Xuan, Qi Xuan would not dare to do such a thing.

Now she is clearly reprimanding her granddaughter, but she is actually beating her daughters-in-law.

She glanced around the room and said slowly, "If you had thought like this before, it would be true. But now that there is Zhao Ruxi, whoever wants to underestimate Suiping Bofu will wait to suffer a big loss. ”

The second lady has a good background and a straight temperament. Although she respects the old lady, she is not very afraid of her mother-in-law.

Hearing this remark at this time, she was a little unimpressed.

She said, "Mother, what you said is too exaggerated, right? If Zhao Ruxi were a boy, I would not believe you when you said this. But Zhao Ruxi is just a girl, what's the use of having a chance? After the New Year, she will be almost fifteen years old, and she will have to marry in at least one or two years. ”

"Besides, no matter how good she is, she is just a painter. What's the use of drawing well? Don't talk about her, just Mr. Deadwood, if it weren't for the fact that he is the emperor's cousin and has a deep relationship with the emperor, it is estimated that few people in the capital will take him seriously. ”

The Duchess is very convinced of her mother-in-law.

She said: "My mother must have made sense when she said this." Mother, tell us about it. ”

The old duchess glanced at the second lady: "The second daughter-in-law also said just now that the reason why Mr. Deadwood has a transcendent status is because of the emperor's respect. Now, the painting of the fifth sister of the Zhao family has entered the eyes of the emperor and has been appreciated by many people, isn't this enough for you to put her in your eyes? People who have the ability are respected wherever they go. ”

"Because of her beauty and ability, I heard that the prince of Pingnan Hou once intended to marry the fifth sister; The Peng family also asked the eldest sister to go back to her parents' house to mention family matters, but they all refused. In the future, she is not sure what kind of family she will marry. How do you know how high she will stand in the future? It is possible to enter the palace as a mother, or marry a prince. ”

"Don't bully young people into poverty, that's what you're talking about. She is really going to get married, and she is also a girl from the Zhao family. Whoever wants to bully her mother's family, with the importance that her husband's family attaches to her, if she doesn't wait for her to speak, she will stand up for her. As for her younger brother, he has to carry one or two. ”

"The magnates in the capital, the ups and downs, do we still see less? Out of such a capable person, Suiping Bofu, this is going to get up. If you don't believe me, just watch. That's what I've always taught you, don't look at people through the cracks of your doors. Who knows when he will gain the power and help or take revenge on you? Be kind to others and convenient for yourself, this is the truth. ”

The younger generations in the house, one of them counted as one, and when the old lady said the word "teaching", they all stood up and listened.

At this time, they all said: "The daughter-in-law (granddaughter, granddaughter-in-law) is taught." ”
