At this time, Wen's eldest maid Zhenglan walked in and saluted Yun Chujiu, "Fifth Miss, Madame asked me to come over and tell you, and in three days, she will take you, Fourth Miss, and the two young masters back to the Hou Mansion to attend the family banquet." ”

"Back to the Hou Mansion?" Yun Chujiu was stunned, not long after she came back, she didn't know who the powerful people in the capital were.

Generally, when you go to a banquet, you will say where to go, and it is a bit intriguing to reply to this word, and there is a family banquet?

"Wenhou Mansion is Madame's maiden home." Zhenglan reminded, "It's inconvenient to say more about specific things, if you want to know, you can ask Miss Four." ”

Yun Chujiu nodded, "I see." ”

After Zhenglan left, Yun Chujiu looked at the pepper seedlings he planted on the wall yesterday, and finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and ran to the next yard to find Yun Wanyi.

Yun Wan intended to practice calligraphy, she got up early recently, she was not late, she didn't doze off in class, she was not punished, this will practice calligraphy is voluntary, she saw Yun Chujiu coming over, and suddenly put down the brush, "Jiujiu, why are you here?" Is it delicious? ”

"Nope." Yun Chujiu sat down opposite her, "My mother said that she would take us back to the Hou Mansion to attend the family banquet in three days, and I don't seem to have heard my mother talk about the Hou Mansion." ”

Yun Wanyi also received Zhenglan's notice just now, and she sighed, "Wenhou Mansion is my mother's maiden family, and my mother's relationship with my grandmother and grandfather is not good, she rarely mentions Hou Mansion to us, and rarely takes us back to Hou Mansion." ”

"I also give each other some gifts during the New Year's holidays, and this time I don't know why my mother suddenly wants to take us to the family banquet, the cousins and cousins of the Hou Mansion are not easy to get along with, they look down on us, wine, don't get too close to them at that time."

Yun Chujiu nodded, "I see." ”

Yun Qi'an received the news that he was going to Wenhou Mansion to attend the family banquet, and ran directly to Wen's courtyard, resisting all over, "Mother, I don't want to go to Hou Mansion, cousin and cousin every time they see us, they want to ridicule us, I don't like them." “

"My grandfather doesn't like us either, so I don't want to go to the Hou Mansion."

Wen: "Xiao An, your grandmother sent a post over, we want to go over, we didn't send a post before, we can not go, now we have received it, we don't go back to be known by others, they will say that I am not filial, and I don't even want to participate in the family banquet, which will affect your marriage at that time." ”

Wen didn't want to go back to the Hou Mansion either, she didn't want to see that big family, but she had to think about the children.

Yun Qi'an flattened his mouth, "Then I don't want to marry a wife, so that it won't affect the marriage." ”

"Silly boy, you're still young." Wen touched his son's head, "You should just go and have a meal, you don't have to pay attention to what they say, don't play with them if you don't want to play with them, remember to follow your fourth brother." ”

Yun Qi'an often quarreled with Yun Qingli at home, and even started fighting, but when they went outside, the two brothers were always of the same mind.

Yun Qi'an was still very resistant, but he could only nod, "I know, I will follow the stinky fourth brother." ”

Three days later.

Four carriages departed from the Dingguo Mansion.

Yun Heji, Yun Qingli and Yun Qi'an have a carriage, Wen's, Yun Wanyi and Yun Chujiu have a carriage, and the maids and servants each have a carriage.

Wen took Yun Wanyi and Yun Chujiu's hands and told him carefully, "If your cousin and cousin ridicule you, you don't have to worry about me, just go back, we are going to the family banquet, not going back to be angry." ”

"Mother, if our grandfather and grandmother teach us a lesson, we can't contradict our elders." Yun Wanyi also knows a little about her maternal grandfather and grandmother, and she is really worried.

Wen patted their hands, "I'm here." ”

Yun Chujiu hugged Wen's arm and rubbed it, "But mother, if you contradict your grandfather and grandmother, some people will say that you are unfilial." ”

"Don't worry, it's a family affair behind closed doors, the Hou Mansion won't let these things spread outside, even if they spread outside, I'm not afraid, you can be filial, but you can't be foolish, we participate in the family banquet is to go through the motions and do superficial work." Wen comforted them.

She knows that she must be filial to her children, even if the elders scold the juniors, the juniors can't contradict the elders, but she can't do it.

She can try to do superficial work, but if she is scolded for no reason, she will not back down, even if it is her parents.

The painting style of the other carriage is different, and Yun Heji, father and son, are leaning together and falling asleep, without the tense atmosphere of going to a family banquet at all.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the Wen Hou Mansion, and Wen entered the door with her husband and children, and no one came to greet them.

Wen had long been used to it, and took people directly to the flower hall.

There were a lot of people gathered in the flower hall, and the people of the Hou Mansion were basically here.

Mrs. Wen gave birth to three daughters and one son, Wen is the third, and the son is now the Hou Ye, and the other two daughters also came back with their husbands and children, and the daughters who came out of the concubine also came back with their husbands and children.

Among the three daughters born to Mrs. Wen, Wen married the worst, although Yun Heji was from the Dingguo Mansion, he had no official position, so Wen has always been looked down upon by the other two sisters.

The Wen family saluted, and then sat down to the side without greeting anyone else.

Old Madam Wen glanced at Wen, did not speak, her eyes fell on Yun Chujiu, looked at it for a while, and said lightly: "This is my granddaughter who just came back." ”

"Yes." Yun Chujiu also nodded coldly.

She knew why they didn't want to go back to the Hou Mansion, the people in the Hou Mansion were so indifferent to them that they didn't look like relatives, it was better to Dingguo Mansion, grandmother was very kind, and uncles were also very good.

Wen Yanni is the eldest granddaughter of Mrs. Wen's relatives, she looked at Yun Chujiu and smiled, "I heard that Cousin Jiu is a big beauty, which caused You Yunliang and his cousin to fight, and now when I see it, she is really a big beauty." ”

Yun Chujiu also smiled, but there was no smile at the bottom of his eyes, "My cousin said that I laughed, I can't be better looking than my cousin, if You Yunliang sees his cousin, I don't know how things will develop." ”

"Who gave you the audacity to speak to me like that?" Wen Yanni directly coldened her face and scolded.

Her father is the Hou Ye and holds military power, but the third aunt is married to a white body, and she often hears her mother say that the third aunt is the most rebellious and unfilial, and often contradicts her grandfather and grandmother, so she doesn't like the third aunt and the third aunt's children.

The children of the third aunt are the same as the third aunt, there is no etiquette, no distinction between dignity and inferiority.

Yun Chujiu said lightly: "Can you only say me, I can't talk about you?" ”

Wen Yanni nodded, "I'm your cousin, my sister speaks, and when I am a sister, I can only listen and can't refute it." ”

"Big cousin, if my sister does something wrong, of course my sister can refute it, and the law of the Great Xia Dynasty does not say that you can't refute what your sister said wrong and did wrong." Yun Wanyi's face was also very unsightly.
