By the time we arrived, most of the guests had already sat down.

The middle two seats were still empty, and there was no sign of Xiao and the eldest princess of Fukang, so Su Junning estimated that the position should be reserved for the two.

He Yuhan said a few words to the steward in charge of the scene, and then smiled and led Yan and Su Junning into the seat.

The seats are arranged in a concave shape, and the positions of the eldest princess and the Xiao family are in the middle, and the positions of the two are also very close, which can be regarded as honorific positions.

After Su Junning came over, he found that the Xie family's seat was actually next to the Yan family.

It's not unusual, after all, Xie is still the honorable Duchess of Ruiguo at the moment, and she sits in this position.

Xiao is not there, although He Yuhan is married, as the eldest daughter of the He family, she can still afford the scene, and arranges for the minions to take down the excerpts of the play and ask the guests to choose.

Of course, only some people have this kind of honor of being able to order a play, but Yan and Su Junning got the excerpt.

Yan circled one he liked, and he wanted to hand it to Su Juning, but Su Junning didn't like these, so he asked Yan to circle one more.

When the fold was handed back to He Yuhan, she was about to ask the troupe to prepare first, when she glanced at it twice, and suddenly her face changed.

Immediately after, the little maid who handed over the fold whispered a few words in her ear with a nervous face.

He Yuhan frowned, took the fold, and walked towards the Xie family with a smile.

"Mrs. Xu, I'm really sorry, I just asked the troupe about the play you ordered, saying that I didn't prepare today, I'm afraid I won't be able to perform, why don't you please change it again? I've heard others say that this lock blue heart is also what you like every day, but there is. ”

Xie Shi took a sip of tea and glanced at her lightly.

"Really? This is unfortunate, I thought that such a simple play as "Red Face Disaster" would be sung by any opera troupe in Beijing, but I didn't expect such a simple play to be not? ”

When she said this, her voice was not loud or small, but it was just enough for Yan and Su Junning, who were sitting next to her, to hear it.

For a moment, both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law frowned.

Because the content of this song "Red Face Disaster" is that the daughter of a businessman helps when the man is down, the man is grateful, and the two become husband and wife, and later the man enters the court as an official and gradually becomes prominent, and the daughter of the businessman shows a narrow-minded state of the market, accepts bribes behind her husband's back, does all kinds of ugly things, and forces her son to marry her niece, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law join forces to destroy the man's family business, and both end up being abandoned.

This kind of gossip and trivial opera, similar to those family ethics dramas in later generations, is still quite popular with women, but it is also very famous.

It's just that among the guests present today, Yan is the daughter of a businessman, and marrying Shen He is also poor first and then rich, and it happens to be with Su Junning, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who came to the banquet together.

Listening to this play, it is somewhat insinuating.

No wonder He Yuhan has a bad face, isn't this a naked provocation.

"Don't blame Mrs. Xu, it's really today's mother's birthday banquet, and some festive plays have been prepared, but the troupe really didn't prepare this."

Due to the identity occasion, He Yuhan still persuaded him with a good voice.

Xie snorted lightly, glanced at Yan next to him, and said lightly.

"You don't have to prepare for such a simple drama in advance, or in other words, since you asked me to do something and I wrote it, but you refused to act, since I am not welcome to come, why bother to post and invite me to visit."

When He Yuhan saw her like this, her eyes were slightly annoyed.

Because Xie Shi did not circle the play on the excerpts, but wrote it by himself.

Yes, since the county government is going to hold a banquet, how can it make such a mistake, even if it is to ask them to order a play, that is, let the guests choose from the prepared repertoire.

Hsieh's move has indeed broken the rules.

He Yuhan suppressed her annoyance, and was about to send someone to ask her mother to come over to deal with it, when she heard Su Junning's voice next to her.

"Miss He, I remember that the track "Red Face Disaster" is not on the excerpt, is it not written on the excerpt, can it also be ordered separately?"

After a pause, his gaze swept over Xie's face, and he continued.

"Then I also have a play to think about, and I bother the eldest lady to help me ask the troupe, can I sing this "Falling Gold Bottle"?"

As soon as this name was said, Xie's face sank by three points.

Not for anything else, because Su Junning's move is to use the way of others to govern others.

"Falling Gold Bottle" tells the story of the emperor's relatives who continue to die, and finally end up with a miserable end of family ruin.

Isn't it much different from today's Ruiguo Mansion?

It's just that Su Juning asked like this, and it was even more difficult for He Yuhan to be sandwiched in the middle.

Of course, she just wanted to warn and ridicule the Xie family, and she didn't want to disturb the He family's banquet and make it difficult for He Yuhan, so at this moment, the Yan family immediately stood up.

Pretending to be reprimanded, he frowned and shouted.

"Ning'er, I don't understand the rules, although the lord is casual with guests, in the end it is a kind word, you are not young, how can you still be ignorant like a child, how can you make the main family embarrassed, quickly apologize to Miss He, lest the eldest princess and the county duchess arrive later, and feel more and more that our Shen family is the same as the family that has no rules."

Su Junning stopped training, immediately lowered his head, and smiled embarrassedly at He Yuhan.

"I'm really sorry, please don't blame the eldest lady, it's me who is abrupt."

A few people here sang a play first, and the distance between the seats was not far, so naturally everyone was already paying attention.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yan's words seem to be training his daughter-in-law, but they are actually for Xie.

Xie Shi is not stupid, how can he not hear it.

In fact, she didn't really plan to embarrass He Yuhan, after all, there was still the eldest princess in this county mansion, she just wanted to take the opportunity to speak and make Yan and Su Junning uncomfortable.

But she didn't expect Su Juning to be so sharp-toothed and sharp-tongued, and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law joined forces to embarrass her.

Now everyone at the banquet looked at her with a bit of mockery and contempt, which made her feel angry in her heart, but she couldn't attack.

At this juncture, Xiao finally helped his mother-in-law, Princess Fukang, to arrive.

For a while, everyone put away their thoughts, stopped talking, got up and saluted, and greeted the eldest princess.

He Yuhan also immediately went to greet him, and before leaving, he smiled gratefully at Su Junning.

Just now, she could naturally see that although Su Junning was also avenging her personal grievances, she also took into account her decency.

Su Junning bowed slightly, and also hooked the corners of her lips at her.

In the end, of course, the two inappropriate plays did not go on stage, and the eldest princess of Fukang and Xiao, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not watch the play, and spent most of their time talking to Yan and Su Junning.

Of course, there is a new person who joins in and intends to get close to Su Junning, that is, He Yushu, the third lady of the county mansion.

Compared with He Yuhan, these three young ladies are more lively, but Su Junning is a little puzzled when she suddenly comes up and is close to herself.

After all, there is nothing good for this third lady to reap.

He Yuhan befriended her in order to seek a future for her husband, so He Yuhan had just reached the end of her life and was not married yet.
