Chapter 60: A Tricky Matter
Thinking about it, she said euphemistically: "Mother, I know that you asked me to organize this family banquet because you want me to learn from experience, but I am new to the house, and I am not familiar with the affairs of the house.
The second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law are experienced, so let the second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law do it together, if the two sisters-in-law don't think I'm in the way, I'll learn from the side. ”
Sure enough, hearing her say this, both the Wang family and the Qin family were very comfortable in their hearts.
"The ninth brother and sister are too modest, you are so ice and snow smart, there is nothing you can't learn." The two of them are also sincere.
The old lady paused, glanced at Tao Yao appreciatively, and changed her words: "It's that I didn't think about it, I didn't organize a family banquet, and it was really inappropriate to let you take over at first glance."
The second daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law, after all, you have been in the door for so long, and you must be more experienced in organizing a family banquet than in the past.
This time, the eldest daughter-in-law made a mistake, repented in the ancestral hall, and left the matter of organizing the family banquet to the two of you. ”
"Yes, my daughter-in-law will definitely handle the family banquet properly." The Wang clan and the Qin clan responded in unison.
……
The family banquet in the house, for so many years, has been run by the Lin family, and the people who do the work under it are naturally promoted by the Lin family, and they are the people of the Lin family.
This time there was a sudden change of people, and the people who did the work below were not convinced, and all kinds of prevarications, laziness, and slowing down the progress.
If the person in charge of the family banquet is soft-tempered, this family banquet is bound to be a mess.
It's a pity that the Wang family and the Qin family are not soft persimmons, and for the subordinates who refuse to obey, they even save the beating and directly abandon them.
Although the re-selected subordinate is not familiar with the process, he is careful and careful, and the process is clear in a day.
The next day, everyone went about their duties and did what they were told in an orderly manner.
From the ingredients to be eaten at the family banquet to the dishes that were served, the Wang and Qin families had personally seen them, and if they were not suitable, they were directly replaced.
These are still small things, and the most tricky thing is the troupe invited to the family dinner.
Hua Dan, the head of the house, is a servant that the old lady likes, but this servant suddenly became ill and couldn't come temporarily.
Because the old lady likes to listen to operas, every family banquet will invite the opera troupe to sing.
But this time, it was so coincidental that Hua Dan was sick......
The Wang family and the Qin family sent people to invite them several times, but they couldn't get invited.
Now, even Tao Yao, who is studying next to him, but has been fishing, feels that things are too coincidental.
Looking at the two concubines, at a loss, Tao Yao thought for a while and proposed: "I have nothing to do, so I will personally go to the troupe to take a look, if it is not serious, I will give more money, so that they can finish singing tomorrow's play, if Hua Dan really can't get up, let someone else replace it." ”
"No, at the family banquets over the years, all the people invited are from this Zhao family class, and the head Hua Dan sings well, and the old lady likes to listen to him sing.
If someone else is allowed to sing, the old lady will probably not like it. And tomorrow is the family banquet, this time and a half, too hasty, we can't find a suitable team to sing. Wang frowned.
"Do you know how to sing? Then I'm going to check it out. Tao Yao said thoughtfully, I'm afraid that some people will be praised too high and forget who they are.
"Aunt Jiu, I'll go with you." At this time, Lu Hao suddenly came out from the side and said excitedly.
Qin Shi stretched out his hand and was about to pinch his ears, but he hid behind Tao Yao like a loach, "Mother, you have to change the problem of picking people's ears, let the second aunt and the ninth aunt see the joke for a while." ”
Qin Shi was laughed at by him, "Are you still afraid of people's jokes?" ”
"I'm not afraid." Lu Hao shook his head, "I'm worried that you will be laughed at." ”
Qin: "......"
Tao Yao and Wang couldn't help laughing.
"In the house, it's run by the two sisters-in-law, I'll go to the troupe with Xiaohao to have a look." Tao Yao said.
The Qin family and the Wang family had no other way but to agree.
Tao Yao took Lu Hao's hand, got into the carriage, and set off for Zhao's class.
Lu Hao sat aside, dangling his calves, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "Aunt Jiu, I have seen that Huadan Zhao boss, my grandmother likes him very much when he sings, every time he comes to the house, he is arrogant to the subordinates who serve, and it is very difficult to get along. ”
When Tao Yao heard this, he didn't panic at all.
Boss Zhao didn't get sick early or late, but after Lin's accident, he got sick.
This Boss Zhao, I'm afraid he has had close contacts with the Lin family, after all, the troupe of every family banquet invites their Zhao family class.
Now that he heard that the person who organized the family banquet had changed, he deliberately said that he was sick and could not come, for fear that he deliberately wanted to make this family banquet bad and let the person who organized the family banquet be responsible.
The old lady likes to listen to him sing, if he can't be invited to sing at this family banquet, the old lady will definitely feel disappointed, and she will also feel that the Wang family and the Qin family are not effective.
This Boss Zhao has obviously been praised for too long, thinking that he can't do it without him.
"It's okay, I've got my own tricks." Thinking of this, Tao Yao deliberately sold a pass.
By the time I got to Zhao's class, it was already afternoon
The courtyard door of Zhao's class was closed, and Dong'er knocked for a while before the door opened from the inside.
A short and fat man came out yawning, squinting his eyes, looking like he hadn't slept enough, and said impatiently, "Is there anything wrong with the girl?" Today, our troupe doesn't sing, if you want to watch a play, let's go elsewhere. ”
Dong'er glanced into the courtyard and pretended to be surprised and said, "Why don't you sing?" I see that your troupe didn't take on the outside play today? ”
The man said impatiently, "We don't want to sing, it's okay, right?" Go, go, don't bother me here. ”
"It turns out that you guys don't want to sing." Dong'er suddenly realized.
The man immediately looked arrogant and said, "What's wrong if you don't want to sing?" Our Zhao family class is in the capital, and the name is well-known, how many high-ranking nobles come to invite with silver? We're upset, and if we don't want to sing, we won't sing. ”
When Dong'er heard this, she suddenly turned her head and said to Tao Yao, who was following behind her: "Duchess Guo, people don't seem to be sick, they just don't want to sing." ”
She deliberately raised her voice.
Tao Yao had already heard the conversation between the two, the corners of his lips hooked, and he also raised his voice and said: "Since people don't want to sing for our country's mansion, then we won't bother, and don't look for this Zhao family class in the future, I think there are more people who can sing in the capital, but this is not the only one."
By the way, what kind of drama does our old lady like to listen to? ”
"The play that the old lady is used to listening to is the legend of the White Snake." Dong'er replied.
"Got it, then it's going to be changed to a green snake from now on." Tao Yao said, "Let's go." ”
When the short and fat man heard this, he already knew Tao Yao's identity, his face changed, and he hurriedly went in and invited someone in charge to come out.
When Tao Yao was about to board the carriage, the person in charge finally caught up.
"You...... Is it the Duchess of Lu Guo? The principal asked cautiously.
"Exactly, what, do you recognize me?" Tao Yao pretended to be surprised and said.
The person in charge hurriedly said: "The little one has never seen the jade face of the Duchess of the Kingdom, I don't know that you are here, and I have missed the welcome, and I ask for forgiveness." ”
"No, we won't see each other in the future, so I'm not here today." Tao Yao's tone was light, but she deliberately showed that she was suppressing her anger.
When the man heard this, his face changed, the reason why their Zhao family class was able to gain a foothold in Beijing was because of the family banquet of the Lu Guogong Mansion, and they would be invited to sing every time.
After a long time, the news spread, and other famous nobles will also come to invite them to sing in the mansion.
Over the past year, their Zhao family class has been doing business continuously, and relying on these, it is enough to gain a foothold in the capital.
This time, I heard that the Lu Guogong Mansion had changed people for the family banquet, and when their head of the house heard the news, they deliberately said that they were sick and did not go.
I thought that the people from the Lu Guogong Mansion would be in a hurry, and brought generous gifts to invite each other, but I didn't expect that the person who came turned out to be the Duchess of Guo.
And it seems that the Duchess is a temperamental, so she directly wants to change the troupe.
If you replace them......
That......
