   Daohua thought that the Dong family and the Su family would come here at most one or two days in advance. Who knows, the two will arrive hand in hand on November 20.

  In front of Chuihua Gate, Mrs. Li smiled and picked up Mrs. Dong and Mrs. Su, while Daohua pulled Dong Yuanyao and Su with a look of surprise and said: "Why are you here so early?"

  Dong Yuanyao smiled and said: "Why, you are not welcome?"

Daohua smiled and said, "I wish you would come here soon." With that, she dragged the two towards Songheyuan, and said as she walked, "Jing Wan arrived two days ago. As soon as you come, we will have fun. NS."

  Hearing this, Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu both laughed. The winter is cold, and there is nothing wrong with them. They usually stay in the house. They are bored and bored. They are very happy to go out as guests.

  Daohua looked at Su Shiyu: “Didn’t Sister Su’s last letter said that she likes tomatoes? There are still plants in the greenhouse on my Zhuangzi. I’ll make a tomato feast for you tomorrow.”

  Su Shiyu smiled: "It's hard for you to remember, the tomatoes are sour and sweet, I really like it."

   Daohua smiled and said, "I'll get you some more when I go back."

  After the tomatoes were planted, because of the need to keep them, she only sent some to the people whom she had made to try.

  Dong Yuanyao interrupted the two of them: "I'm afraid I won't be able to eat tomorrow." Then, she looked at Daohua, "Why, haven't your family received any posts?"

   Daohua was taken aback: "What post?"

  Dong Yuanyao: "It's the post of the inspector Chen family!"

   Daohua shook her head: "I never heard my mother talk about it."

Dong Yuanyao condensed her eyebrows: "No, although Lord Chen was sent by the emperor to take charge of gold mining, your father is the prefect of Ningmen Prefecture, and the gold mine is under the jurisdiction of Ningmen Prefecture. You will have to deal with it in the future. , How could you not please?"

   Daohua said ‘oh’, “It turns out that inspector Chen is the person responsible for mining gold mines.”

  Su Shiyu said: "Although the official position of the inspector is not high, this Chen family must not be underestimated."

  Dong Yuanyao nodded.

   Daohua came with interest: "Why, does Mrs. Chen have any background?"

Dong Yuanyao lowered her voice: "Isn't there a background? And it's a big background. Mrs. Chen's mother is the emperor's nanny, and Mrs. Chen grew up with the emperor. She is one of the emperor's most trusted confidants. Otherwise, also He won’t leave the gold mining to him."

   Daohua nodded: "The background is really big." After speaking, he paused and asked, "So, you came to Ningmen Mansion in advance because of the Chen family?"

  Su Shiyu nodded and said: "The Chen family posted a post and invited us to the banquet tomorrow, saying that he wanted to recognize his colleagues in Zhongzhou."

   Daohua's face was puzzled: "Even you from the provincial government have invited you. There is no reason why you should not invite our house? Is it possible that Mrs. Chen looks down on our house?"

Su Shiyu shook his head: "It's not that even if Master Chen is a little arrogant because of the emperor's relationship, he should not be able to do such things that offend people. Maybe, forgot? Or, is it too late? "

   Daohua's expression is faint: "No matter what the reason, the Chen family despise my family for sure."

  Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu are not very easy to answer these words.

   Indeed, compared with their two families, the Yan family's background is indeed worse.

  The Chen family hasn't been up for a long time. Compared with the noble family, there are indeed many areas where the rules and etiquette are not in place.

  For things like banquets and postings, they will never make such low-end mistakes.

  While talking, a group of people went to the old lady’s yard.

  In the room, there is another greeting.

After meeting the elders, Daohua introduced Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu to Yang Xiuyun, Yan Yunxi, and Yan Yunyan.

  Yang Xiuyun looked at everyone absent-mindedly and jokingly. She didn't expect her grandmother and other uncles who were too shabby in the population to have such a wide range of social interactions.

  The Dong family came from the Hou Mansion, the official family of the capital. The Su family and the Zhou family are also among the most prominent family homes in Zhongzhou.

  The Yang family is not as good as the Yan family!

  After lunch, Mrs. Li sent Mrs. Dong and Mrs. Su to the guest courtyard to rest, and then returned to the main courtyard.

"Madam, the concierge just came to report that it was the newly appointed inspector who made Mrs. Chen post to our family, Zhou family, and Han family." Ping Tong stepped forward to help Mrs. Li take off her cloak, and then received it again. Handed over the post.

  Mrs. Li gave a ‘um’, glanced at the post, but did not answer.

  Previously, she had learned about the Chen family banquet from Madam Dong, and felt very uncomfortable thinking that her family had not received the invitation in advance.

  At this time, Daohua walked in, took a look at the post, and then threw it directly on the table, humming: "Tomorrow is the banquet day, then the Chen family is not afraid that we can't go there."

  Ms. Li beckoned to her daughter, waited for Daohua to sit next to her, and sneered: “The old lady of the Chen family is the emperor’s nanny, and this is the point. There is something in our house and we have to go tomorrow.”

   After finishing speaking, she looked at Pingtong, "You can send the posts for Zhou's and Han's."

   Pingtong bends his knees: "Yes." Then he took the post and exited the house.

  After the others left, Daohua curled her lips and said, "Isn't it just a related household? What are you dragging!" Then she found the gold mine.

  Ms. Li didn’t say Daohua this time, because she was also very dissatisfied with the Chen family. She felt ashamed when she thought of her dazed expression just now when Mrs. Dong mentioned the banquet.

  Furthermore, since the Chen family found out that the Han and Zhou families lived in their homes, how could they not know that Guining’s little sister hadn’t said to invite her to the family. It was really annoying.

   After a moment of silence, Mrs. Li still said, “I’m going to the Chen's house tomorrow, but I can’t look down on my face.”

  Master Chen is close to the emperor, and many things can reach the heavens. If you slander the master in front of the emperor, their family will definitely suffer.

   Daohua nodded: "Don't worry, mother, I know."

  On November 21, the gate of Chen Mansion opened wide, but at four quarters (10:00), the new inspector Chen Hong and his eldest son, Chen Jiayou, stood in front of the gate with smiles to greet the guests.

  Chen's family banquet, the officials of Ningmen Mansion were very face-saving, and they came early. All of these people didn't want to make friends with Chen Hong. Without him, Chen Hong could meet the emperor in person. This made all the officials eager for them.

  Of course, not everyone sells his face.

   "Has the little prince arrived?"

  Hearing his father’s question, Chen Jiayou shook his head: "Father, how many times have you asked this? If the little prince comes, I will inform you of it, so don’t ask."

  Chen Hong glared at his eldest son: "What do you know, the little prince represents the royal family. If he can come here earlier, it means that he values ​​us, and we can live better in Ningmen Mansion in the future."

  Chen Jiayou disapproved: "Father, our family is a member of the emperor, who dares to show us a look?"

  Chen Hong shook his head: "The water in this place is deep. Your father and I are in charge of gold mining again. If I don't deal with the local officials, I will stumble on me from time to time, and I will suffer!"

   "If the emperor thinks that your father and I are not good enough, send someone to replace me, then the Chen family will never have a future."

  Speaking with a look.

   "By the way, can Zhifu Yan arrive?"

Chen Jiayou shook his head, and said dissatisfied: "Not yet, not only the Yan's house has not arrived, but the Dong's, Zhou's, and Su's who live in their homes have not arrived. I think they want to stop here for dinner. "

  Chen Hong Ning eyebrows: "I saw Master Yan once in the palace before. At that time, I thought he was a very interesting person. I didn't expect to put on airs when he became the prefect."

  Chen Jiayou curled his lips: "The villain has a good mind."
