Chapter 77, Banquet

  The Yan family first arrived in Xingzhou, and they were not familiar with the place. Whether it was for the Yan Zhigao to carry out work smoothly, or for the Yan family to have a firm foothold in Xingzhou, it was inevitable to hold a banquet and entertain all parties.

  The banquet was the first time that the Yan family showed up in Xingzhou City, and it was of great significance. Therefore, the Yan family was waiting for it, that is, the old lady Yan participated in the preparation of the dishes on the day of the banquet.

  Daohuaxuan.

  Inahana stood in front of the flower shed, pestering her chin with her hand, frowning her brows, as if thinking about something.

  Pingtong came over with the newly-made dress, and happened to see this scene, and immediately smiled: "What is the problem with the big girl?"

  Seeing that it was Pingtong, Daohua sighed like an adult, "Isn’t there a banquet? I’m thinking, how should I entertain the ladies on the day of the banquet?"

  There is a division of labor in Yan's family. In the backyard, the mother and the second aunt are responsible for entertaining the wives, the third aunt is responsible for looking after the kitchen, and she is the young lady who is responsible for coming over.

  As for the outer courtyard, the adults are taken care of by the cheap father, and the young masters and sons who come are received by her elder brother.

   Pingtong smiled and asked, "Does that big girl have any ideas?"

   Seeing Pingtong’s smile, Daohua rolled her eyes: "Please also Pingtong sister for advice!"

Ping Tong smiled and said, "There is no way for the slave and maid to teach the big girl." Seeing Daohua's face collapsed, she smiled again, "However, the lady asked me to come over and talk to the big girl about the banquets of the girls. Miss will do something."

   Daohua’s eyes lit up, and Limala led Pingtong into the room: "Sister, quickly tell me what the ladies and girls will do during the banquet."

  Pingtong first handed over the dress to Wang Man'er, and then said with a smile: “In fact, at the banquet, the ladies and girls have limited things to play. It is nothing more than enjoying flowers, drinking tea and chatting, plus chanting poems or something.”

   "Huh? That's it!" Daohua was disappointed.

  Pingtong nodded: “The big family values ​​the reputation of the boudoir girls very much. When going out as guests, everyone will be very reserved. Therefore, the girls don’t need to be nervous, just treat them with courtesy on the day of the banquet.”

  Ms. Li was worried that her daughter would be nervous the first time she was working, so she specifically asked Pingtong to come over to appease Daohua.

  After a while, Ping Tong left. Wang Man'er was still frowning when he saw Daohua, and asked: "Girl, isn't the madam saying that it’s all right to treat each other with courtesy? What are you worried about?"

   Daohua sighed: "Where is that simple."

  Where there are many women, right and wrong are indispensable, even if it is just a group of teenage girls, she dare not be the slightest careless.

  Fortunately, they live in a government office, there is no rockery or pond, otherwise, her nerves must be stretched from morning to night on the day of the banquet.

   "Flower viewing is no longer possible." She has planted climbing roses, and she has planted a lot of flowers in the flower garden, but it is still a bit early to bloom.

   "It's okay to drink tea." But you can't drink tea all day!

"Poems are right." Daohua shook her head. In her previous life and this life, she had no cells for poetry. She just plagiarized others. She didn't remember a few words in her mind, so she couldn't tell a group of little girls that the moonlight was in front of the bed. Bar.

   Daohua's face wrinkled: "You have to find something to do." If you are idle, a group of little girls gather together, and there must be a few noisy people. When the trouble comes, her master's face will not look good.

  Thinking about it, Daohua ran to find San Shu Yan Zhiqiang.

  In the blink of an eye, the day of the banquet arrived.

  Early in the morning, the Yan family got up and packed up, and then went on their own.

  At times, people began to arrive one after another.

   Daohua followed Mrs. Li, with a smile, Yan Yan greeted the ladies of the family in the door.

  Mrs. Li first took the ladies of the family to meet the old lady Yan, and then took to the main courtyard to talk without staying long.

  The old lady Yan suddenly sighed with relief when she saw that the people were gone. There was nothing she could do. She was an old peasant woman, facing a group of official wives, and she couldn’t find any common topics.

   "The eldest wife is attentive!" At this time, she didn't forget the feeling of taking care of her.

Old Mrs. Yan thought of Daohua, and said to her grandmother: "The girl Daohua saw this kind of banquet for the first time. She was still the host. Go and have a look. If she wants to help, you stay there. ."

  She has a high level of seniority and is old. It’s just a matter of seeing someone say a few words, but Daohua, as Yan's parent and daughter, has to be busy with the young ladies and girls in the front and back photos.

  Main courtyard.

  In the living room, several gorgeously dressed ladies are drinking tea and chatting. Seeing them talking and laughing freely, they obviously met each other early in the morning.

  After they started, a few little girls chatted together, laughing endlessly. Not far away, Yan Yihuan, Yan Yishuang, and Yan Yile sat alone, looking a little embarrassed, as if they couldn't get into the conversation of these girls.

   Daohua and Mrs. Li saw this scene when they came in with the wife and young lady of the convict family.

  Ms. Li glanced at Daohua, her expression seemed a little worried. Among the girls who came today, there was the granddaughter of the former cabinet chief. I heard that she was a temper, and she was worried that her daughter could not cope with it.

   Daohua noticed Mrs. Li's gaze, smiled, and dragged the lady from the convict's house and walked over.

  As soon as Mrs. Li saw Daohua passing by, she yelled with the girls, sisters and sisters of the various families, and she was relieved, and then she took Mrs. Tong to talk to the ladies who had come before.

  Zhou Jingwan, the youngest daughter of the Patriarch of the Zhou family of Xingzhou Zhongding family, and the most favored granddaughter of the former cabinet chief Zhou Zhengyao, because of being favored, it is inevitable to be arrogant. At this moment, facing the host of Daohua, that is a face of arrogance.

  The situation of the Yan family, Zhou family inquired clearly early in the morning, knowing that the Yan family's eldest girl grew up in the countryside.

  Originally, Zhou Jingwan thought that the Yan family must look vulgar, but after seeing it, she realized that her appearance was not inferior to everyone's daughter. If it weren't for the simple and ordinary dress, she would almost catch up with the noble girl in the capital.

  Zhou Jingwan glanced at Daohua’s red and white face. Thinking of her dull complexion, she felt a little uncomfortable. She thought for a while and said, “Ms. Yan, it’s boring to be idle. Why don’t we join in with poems?”

  Appearance is born, but knowledge is acquired. She doesn't believe that a person who grew up in the countryside can chant poems and make a difference.

   Here, Daohua hasn't spoken yet, and Yan Yishuang, who has been unable to speak while sitting by the side, immediately agrees: "This is good, everyone can even pass the time, and get acquainted with all the sisters as soon as possible."

  As soon as these words came out, Zhou Jingwan and other little girls looked at Yan Yishuang one after another, with a faint contempt between her eyebrows.

"Humph!"

   Zhou Jingwan snorted coldly, and ignored Yan Yishuang, but sneered and looked at Daohua: "Your Yan family's rules are really good."

  The big family home has always been a circle of prostitutes and a circle of prostitutes. A prostitute wants to enter the circle of prostitutes, either she is very good or has no prostitutes in the family.

   Yan Yishuang didn't account for both of these situations. They didn't pay attention to her before, but this person had no eyesight at all, and he had to move closer to them. Such an act was really disappointing.

The smile on Daohua’s face didn’t change, as if she didn’t understand Zhou Jingwan’s words, she wouldn’t let this little girl take the lead. She smiled and said, “Sisters, the main courtyard is too noisy, and the adults are watching, everyone might as well go to me. The yard, this way you can also have fun."

  Hearing this, the little girls were a little moved.

   is still a child, there are no children who don’t like to play or noisy, but in front of adults, it is inevitable that they will be restrained.

  Zhou Jingwan didn't want to stay under the eyes of her mother, but her attitude was not very good just now, and she couldn't save face for a while.

Daohua looked at the expressions of the little girls, knowing that they were all headed by Zhou Jingwan, then smiled and took her arms, waved to others, and left the room together.
