From the day she decided to invite New Year's wine, Li Ran was very worried about what she, the hostess, should do, or even do.

Socializing is her shortcoming, and she has never been able to learn it.

Li Ran has never been taboo about knowing nothing about herself in many aspects, just how on the day of the New Year's wine, she, the hostess, should do step by step, Li Ran asked Mama Sang straightforwardly.

Mama Sang was stupid to ask Li Ran's question.

She had never thought about it, it was like someone asking her how to open her mouth, how to chew, how to swallow when she was eating.

Mama Sang thought carefully and sorted out for more than a day, and finally figured out what Li Ran, the hostess, had to do step by step.

For example, when the guests begin to arrive, she should stand near the door of the large warm pavilion that serves as the main hall and greet the guests.

She wants to be nobler than her, as well as the elders...... This is basically negligible.

The royal family has a simple population, as long as Luo Niangniang and the crown princess don't come, there is no one more noble than her.

As for the elders, the old lady Shen in the Zhuangzi outside the city will definitely not come, Xie Shangshu has already spoken, Mrs. Shao is unwell, and they will not come.

But in order to show her modesty, she should greet the old ladies of several mansions, such as Mrs. Wu of the Cao Mansion, Mrs. An of the Wang family, etc., Princess Du of the Hejian County Palace, she had better take one step or two, after all, she is extremely young.

Others, she felt that if she wanted to give someone some face, she could also take half a step, and any more would be inappropriate, which would make the other party panic.

Then, she should accompany a few of the most noble old ladies to talk, at this time, she also needs to pay attention to the guests of the entire Great Warm Pavilion, of course, this attention, if she can't do it now, it doesn't matter, Mama Huang will definitely do a good job, and Zi Ke and Qing Ke will also quietly remind her when she should notice.

Otherwise, she can have a few words with the guests she can talk to. After that, it's almost over, she needs to send those noble old ladies a few steps out of the door of the Great Warm Pavilion.

There are not many people invited to this New Year's wine, Li Ran almost welcomed in one breath several old ladies who Mama Sang had instructed one by one, as well as Princess Du, and then saw Wang Ji, Xie Pei, and the two little ladies of the Cao family.

Cao Siniang was instructed by Mrs. Wu, the old lady, to greet the etiquette, looking at Wang Ji, as well as her third sister-in-law and Li Ran gossiping.

In addition to looking around, Cao Siniang was looking at Li Ran.

Li Ran, according to Mama Sang's explanation, held wine and tea to Mrs. An, Mrs. Wu and other old ladies one by one, and talked with them for a while, in fact, it was a few old ladies who asked, and she answered.

When this process was finished, when Li Ran went over to talk to Wang Ji and Xie Pei, Cao Siniang couldn't hold back any longer, leaned over and smiled: "Third brother, are they over there?" ”

Cao Siniang pointed to the other side of the stream not far away.

"Fourth sister!"

Without waiting for Li Ran's words, Cao Sanniang hurriedly pulled Cao Siniang's sleeve, and the fourth sister showed obvious intention to stop her.

Xie Pei burst out laughing.

Wang Ji also laughed: "You can't see it if you're not there!" ”

"Alas!" Cao Siniang sighed.

Li Ran smiled, "I shouldn't be here at this time." ”

"Alas! I always thought that if the Li family's sister married General Xie, I would be able to see General Xie from time to time, how could I feel so? ”

Cao Siniang's face was full of gloom.

"Didn't you see it once when you blocked the door?" Xie Pei said with a smile.

"I really didn't dare to look at it more, General Xie still laughed, he smiled, his eyes were dazzled, and he didn't see it clearly at all!" Cao Siniang's depression added countless chagrins.

"I said that the prince was coming, and I would pass by the bridge over there in a while, and go to the small study in the back, you find a place to guard." Li Ran pointed to a small stone bridge not far away, and smiled with Cao Siniang.

"Oooh!" Cao Siniang suppressed her voice and cheered, and was about to rush out, but Xie Pei grabbed her, "Don't get too close, the prince is here, getting close will hinder the defense." ”

"I know, I know, third sister, let's go!" Cao Siniangzi agreed repeatedly, dragged Cao Sanniang up, went to the direction indicated by Li Ran, and found a place to wait to see General Xie.

Wang Ji laughed and sighed.

"The wife said that the fourth sister is not confused in major matters, and she is a blessed person." Xie Pei pursed his lips and said with a smile.

Li Ran looked at Wang Pei from Xie Pei, who had been laughing all the time, and asked with something in his words: "I haven't seen the third prince for a while, but are you okay?" ”

"He's fine." Wang Ji looked at Li Ran, blinked, and smiled.
