Xingbao returned to the house to participate in the ceremony this time, in fact, he had the intention of mending his image among his relatives, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to win over a few high-ranking people of the same clan, after all, he now has the one on top, and he must do something. It's just that he made a little trouble before, and the Jinbao brothers are very good at being people, and they can't splash the ink on the field, and almost all relatives and friends don't despise Xingbao's behavior. Xingbao secretly hated it, so he pretended to be an honest person and greeted him everywhere, but it was difficult to guarantee that someone was coaxed by him, thinking that he really had any grievances.

However, Zhang Bao and Rong Bao have always stayed near Xingbao, and often talk to relatives and friends with him, and they are very close to each other. Jin Bao also often puts on the appearance of a loving brother, and cares about the second brother's family in many details, and is "unassumingly", but someone always finds out. If someone says that Xingbao is wrong, Jin Bao will also help to say a few good words. After this behavior, everyone said that he was magnanimous, and Zhang Baorong and Rongbao were also good brothers. Even if Xingbao wanted to pretend to complain and say that his brothers deliberately suppressed him to force him to split up, no one would believe him, but would dislike him even more. Duan Xingbao was itchy with his teeth behind his back, but he couldn't think about it, and in the end he had no choice but to accompany his brothers to stage this big drama of brothers, friends and brothers.

And Suo Xue Luo's side is also depressed. She deliberately dressed up luxuriously and went home to show off, but none of the concubines showed any envy, and Nala frowned and said that she was dressed too much and was suspected of violating the rules. Although the daughter pressed a few nieces on her side, for some reason there was Yuan Ning's violent temperament and mean gossip among the relatives and daughters, and if she really spread it, she was afraid that it would hinder her daughter's future.

As soon as the husband and wife put it together, they felt that it was not a good thing to continue to stay, and waited for the end of the gift. He packed up his things and took his children and slaves away, and he didn't even finish the New Year.

Wan Ning was sick, but she avoided the embarrassment of meeting with the second room. As soon as they left, it may have been someone else's persuasion that had an effect. Or maybe she wanted to open it herself, her body slowly got better, and there was a smile on her face again.

She has recovered from this illness, but she is much more stable than before, and some of them were just face-to-face before. In fact, she obediently obeyed the rules that she didn't take for granted. Seeing her like this, Nala was very relieved, and secretly had an idea in her heart, to make her daughter a veritable lady in the next two years, and she was not allowed to do anything that should not be done again, and she should also start to pay attention to the right children of the family, just in case.

In addition to staying with her family in Huaiyuan, Shuning often went to visit Fang Ning and Wan Ning. She always had a feeling. Wan Ning seemed to have some kind of unsettling change, and when the sisters spoke, they often started to startle as they spoke. Occasionally, a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes, which made people shudder. The act of jumping out is no more. But somehow, I like to ask about the situation of the princes and magnates in Beijing. Even her grandfather's Tong family didn't let go. Shu Ning herself didn't know very well, so she only told Wan Ning what she knew, and then frowned with Fang Ning, looking at Wan Ning biting her fingers and looking down to calculate. In the first month, there are several mansions that have intersected with the Earl's Court for generations, and the ladies and relatives come to visit one after another. Jin Bao and Nala attached great importance to it, and ordered the people under them to prepare everything early, and also asked the three and four families not to go out for a few days.

It turns out that these mansions, with titles ranging from Guogong to Yun Qiwei (Zheng Wupin), have all been friends with the Earl's Mansion since Jin Bao's grandfather's generation, which can be described as a friendship between the families. At the beginning of the old earl Harzi's youth, it was thanks to the help of those uncles that he survived. It's an old friendship for decades. Although each family has its own creation, this is booming, and some are gradually declining, but they are still very close to the older generation. When the two old men passed away, several of them came to pay their respects on the first day.

When Fang Ning was defeated, the Nala clan also had the idea of these mansions, but unfortunately among the three young masters of the right age, two of them were descendants, and their family backgrounds were good, so she really didn't have the face to bring it up; And the other family background has fallen to the ground, but he said that he has already made a marriage, and he can't help it.

The guests came to the door, the three wives and two grandmothers were accompanied together, smiling and smiling, there was no cold scene, tea and snacks, cushion heater, maid ring servants, all very thoughtful, really making people feel at home.

is a female dependent, of course, it is indispensable to pull all the young ladies out to show off, and secretly compare other people's daughters with their own own. Wan Ning is very familiar with these wives and grandmothers, and she has regained a lot of self-confidence from their praise, probably really growing, and there is no rudeness at all, which makes her mother Nala very satisfied.

Shuning is decent, neither worse than others, nor particularly brilliant, but got a "dignified and generous" comment, and the focus is entirely on Wanning. Tong Shi secretly gave his daughter a look again and again, asking her to show herself a little, and Shuning did not take the latest chapter of the Warrior's Campus Vertical and Horizontal moves.

Tong privately asked Shuning why she was deliberately clumsy. Shuning said: "What's so good about being in the limelight? What's more, the female dependents of those families are very familiar with the eldest aunt and the fourth aunt, just by looking at their affection for the second sister, you can know who they like more. Although it is a world friend, our family has been outside for more than ten years, and we are not familiar with them, and we don't know each other's temperament, so don't earn this face, right? Tong sighed and said, "Did you hear about your second sister, so you were scared?" Actually, what is there to be afraid of? Your personality is completely different from hers, and you will never fall into that situation. ”

Shuning smiled faintly: "Of course I know, it's just that the second sister became famous back then, and it was the reputation among these relatives and friends that my daughter was a little worried." The benefits of a daughter, as long as the family knows, why bother to tell someone to go and let others make a name for themselves? ”

Tong thought about it and felt that it made sense: "Now that you are in the limelight, it is better to avoid it, so as not to be implicated." Forget it, I don't have anything to fight about, now that we are living comfortably, let's let others be in the limelight. She smiled self-deprecatingly, stretched out her finger and pointed at the corner of her daughter's forehead: "You girl, you have had ideas better than others since you were a child, and your mother depends on you." I don't know where you got so many twists and turns in your stomach. ”

Shuning smiled flatteringly, and gave her mother a thump on the back. Tong Shimi enjoyed it for a while, and then asked, "Did you wipe the bottle of medicine that I gave you yesterday?" Shuning hurriedly said: "I wiped it, it was really effective, and it was much better." With that, he rolled up his sleeves and showed her the pale blue fingerprints. It turned out that Wanning pinched it that day, Wanning originally had a lot of nails, if it wasn't for the thick clothes in winter, I was afraid that she would be pinched and bloody. Tong felt sorry for his daughter, and when he saw that the medicine prescribed by the doctor was not effective, he sent a letter back to his parents' house to ask for a bottle of ancestral special medicine.

She said: "The second girl has no conscience, you are kind enough to persuade her, but she pinched you like this, and it is better to get closer to her less in the future." This medicine is your grandfather's secret recipe, you rub it more, and put it away if you have any leftovers. ”

Shuning responded with a smile.

Although Tong no longer plans to show off any limelight and fight for face, after all, she is not familiar with the situation in Beijing, considering that she will stay in the capital for a few years, she also began to pay attention to whether there are people who can make friends among the visitors. Among them, there is a viscount mansion, surnamed Fucha, Xu is due to family style, and the female dependents are all knowledgeable, but they are not as arrogant as the Shen family. Tong felt that the lady was quite temperamental, so he followed the other party's topic and talked with him. After coming and going, the other party also felt that Tong's smell was similar to him, so he became a new friend with Tong's with three points of enthusiasm, three points of cordiality and four points of caution.

The two wives met and sent each other two or three times, and then the Tong family took their daughter to visit again, and the friendship between Sanfang and the Fucha family was settled. Thanks to the blessing of this wife of the Fucha family, the Tong family met their family's in-laws, the wife of another family in the Earl's Palace, the wife of the Wuya family. In this way, the Tong family stepped into the social *** of the noble lady class in the capital in a low-key manner.

The two mothers became friends, and Shuning, who was a daughter, also met the young lady of the Fucha family. Xinran is fifteen years old this year, and after the draft, she was assigned to marry a child of the clan, although the wedding date has not yet been decided, but it is very likely to be in June. This young lady is just delicate, with a round face, very blessed, a slightly plump figure, and the feeling she gives people can be described by the word "warm", she speaks softly, and her temperament is also soft, and she never seems to be angry.

But her gentleness is completely different from Fang Ning, Fang Ning's personality is weak, and she is cold to external things because of discouragement, but Xinran is a person who loves life and pays attention to details. Although the snacks and snacks for hospitality are all ordinary varieties, she has carefully studied the origin and process of each of them; The clothes, shoes and socks she wears on her body, what materials are suitable for what objects, and what incense should be used to make them, she is all like a treasure; The maids clean up the wardrobes and cabinets, how to clean up the most space-saving and convenient things, she can also tell the story; She knows which flowers are best to plant in the spring, which trees make good snacks in the summer, which flowers and plants are suitable for making tea in the autumn, and what flowers to put in the house in the winter.

Shuning is the first time to see this type of daughter, the other party's exquisiteness, not the preciousness or value of things, but shows a unique family bearing. Xinran behaved appropriately and spoke gently, but everything behaved as naturally as drinking water and eating, which made Shuning feel respectful.

The two families went back and forth one after another, and when Shuning finished the New Year in the Earl's Palace, went back to Fangshan to live for a few days, and then returned to the mansion again, the Fucha family sent a plum red note. She happily invited three girls from the Earl's Court to her house to see the newly blooming white apricots in the garden. At the same time, she also invited her cousin, Miss Bao Key of the Wu Ya family, to accompany her.
