The day after attending the Guo family’s banquet, Mrs. Li received an invitation from the Jiang family.

Daohua looked at the address on the invitation and her eyebrows jumped high.

The Guo Mansion is located on the street in front of Xiao Yeyang's residence, while the Jiang Mansion is on the street behind. The two families surrounded Xiao Yeyang one after the other.

Thinking of this, Daohua felt a little irritable.

Anyone who knows that someone else is thinking about him or her will probably feel uncomfortable.

With this thought, Daohua's heart was shaken.

My own people...

It turns out that deep down in her heart, Xiao Yeyang is already hers?

In a daze, Daohua forgot that she was in Mrs. Li's room at the moment. She shook the invitation in her hand and threw it to the ground without controlling the force.

Mrs. Li frowned when she saw it: "What are you doing?"

Daohua came back to her senses, quickly stood up, picked up the invitation, and placed it carefully next to Mrs. Li: "Mom, my daughter just doesn't want to attend the Jiang family's banquet."

Mrs. Li didn't give Daohua a good look this time, and said with reproach: "No matter how unwilling you are, you shouldn't show it. If people know what you are thinking at once, wouldn't it mean that you will be manipulated by others?

of?"

As he spoke, his face straightened.

"Now that we have finished talking today, I have something to tell you."

"In the past, you didn't like to attend banquets, so my mother would let you go a lot of the time, but now that you are older, you can no longer let yourself go."

"Things like gatherings and banquets are unavoidable for every family. When you get married and take charge of the middle class, you will have more contacts. Don't underestimate the gatherings between women. This is not only to maintain the relationship with other families, but also to maintain the relationship with other families."

It is an important means and an important channel to inquire about news from various governments."

"We live in an inner house, and there are not many channels for understanding external news. A lot of news is heard or found out at parties and banquets. Therefore, you must learn to be able to walk in banquets on various occasions with ease.

."

Daohua was silent, stirred the handkerchief in her hand, and said in a low voice: "Mom, my daughter knows."

Mrs. Li touched her daughter's head: "In my opinion, the arrival of the Jiang family and the Guo family is actually quite good. You can take this opportunity to see how the ladies of the capital interact and behave."

As he said that, he picked up the invitation from the Jiang family.

"The Jiang family held a banquet on April 25th. It was quite a rush at this time. It seems that the relationship between the Guo family and the Jiang family is more tense than we imagined."

Hearing this, Daohua looked surprised: "Mom, how did you see this?"

Mrs. Li smiled: "As soon as Mrs. Guo and her daughter arrived, Mrs. Jiang and her daughter moved here. In this case, either the two families have a good relationship, or they are at odds with each other. What happened at yesterday's banquet

What do you think the situation is?"

"Since it's a competition, we definitely can't lose to the other party. If one party entertains all parties, the other party will naturally not be left behind. The banquet time of the two families is so close, which obviously means they are competing in the ring. Look, Jiang

The family’s banquet will definitely be grander than the Guo family’s, so as to overshadow the Guo family’s limelight.”

Daohua shook her head in disapproval: "Your life is yours, why bother living it for others."

Mrs. Li chuckled and sighed: "You are still young, so you don't know that many things are out of your control, and some things have to be fought for."

"The Guo family and the Jiang family are both high-ranking nobles in the capital. The rivalry between Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Jiang is no longer their own business, but also concerns the two families behind them."

Daohua fell silent, and finally uttered two words: "I'm so tired."

Mrs. Li smiled and said: "Isn't it? It's not that easy to be the daughter-in-law of a noble family. Of course, not everyone can be the one."

Hearing this, the silk handkerchief in Daohua's hand was stirred even more violently.

......

Indeed, as Mrs. Li said, the Jiang family's banquet on April 25th was extraordinarily grand. Not only did they invite the most prestigious Double Happiness Troupe in the province, but the dishes on the banquet were also top-notch.

Everyone was amazed at the strong financial resources of the Jiang family.

In addition to these, what surprised everyone the most was that Aunt Jia, who was sent by the Queen Mother to take care of Xiao Yeyang, appeared at the banquet.

As soon as this grandma arrived, she attracted everyone's attention.

Daohua also looked at her carefully. She saw that Aunt Jia was in her forties, her hair was neatly combed, her clothes were neat and neat without any wrinkles, and her behavior was neither humble nor overbearing, which made people secretly praise her for her good manners.

The ladies present did not dare to treat the old man next to the Queen Mother as a mere slave. Even Mrs. Guo, who reluctantly came to the banquet, had to treat him a little less favorably.

"I heard that the nuns in the palace are very strict. Princesses and princesses are taught the rules and etiquette by them. If they don't follow the rules, they will directly punish them."

"So fierce?"

"Isn't it? The little prince is really miserable. Now he has two more nuns to discipline him."

Aunt Jia didn't stay long after she came over. She joked a little with Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Guo, and then said goodbye: "There are many things in the young prince's mansion that are not in compliance with the rules. Sister Zeng and I came to take care of the young prince on the orders of the Queen Mother and the Emperor."

Your Majesty, these things must be corrected one by one."

Mrs. Jiang took the words with a smile and sighed: "Who says it's not the case? The child Yeyang lives alone outside with no one to take care of his daily life. His life is indeed not very particular. Fortunately, now that grandma is here, we can rest assured.

”

Aunt Jia said very modestly: "I will work hard to do what the Queen Mother has told me."

Mrs. Jiang asked again: "By the way, mama, hasn't Yeyang come back yet?"

Aunt Jia shook her head: "We have been here for a long time, but we haven't seen the young prince in this time."

Hearing this, Mrs. Jiang suddenly looked at Mrs. Li and said with a smile: "I heard that my son and nephew have been following Yeyang. I wonder if they have returned home during this time?"

Seeing that everyone was turning their attention to her, Mrs. Li glanced at Mrs. Jiang and said with a smile: "I haven't been back for a few days. I said I went to the military camp with the young prince for training."

Grandma Jia, who was about to leave, suddenly interrupted: "I heard that the young prince and the Yan family have become very close in recent years?"

Listening to this inquiry full of inquiry, and Grandma Jia's eyes that revealed the meaning of scrutiny, Mrs. Li frowned slightly, but she quickly smiled and said: "When several of my children were at Wangyue Academy,

I am a classmate with the young prince."

Seeing Mrs. Li dismissing her with just one word, Grandma Jia felt a little unhappy. After thinking about it, she said again: "I wonder if the girl from the Yan family is here. Let me see her."

These officials with low-level backgrounds are the best at studying and selling their daughters for glory.

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Mrs. Li's face could hardly be maintained. Aunt Jia first said that the young prince was close to their family, and now she named the girl she wanted to see. What does this mean?

Glancing at the hidden gazes of the ladies present, Mrs. Li suppressed the anger in her heart. Just as she was about to say something, she saw her daughter beside her stand up.

"The eldest daughter of the magistrate of Ningmen Prefecture has met Grandma Jia!"

Daohua took two steps forward, saluted gracefully, and then raised a smile: "I wonder what the reason why Grandma Jia wants to see my little girl is?"

Aunt Jia saw that Daohua had no stage fright at all, and was not afraid to look at her. There was no sign of awe in her eyebrows. She, who always prided herself on being an elderly person in the Queen Mother's palace, felt offended, and she felt uneasy in her heart.

Xilai, he looked at the rice flowers for a while unscrupulously, and gave a faint comment: "The color is really good."

In the palace, even the princes and princesses would call her "Mother Jia" affectionately when they saw her. This girl from a fourth-rank official family in front of her dared not to take her seriously. In this case, she had to teach her.

How to be a human being.

As soon as Aunt Jia said these words, Mrs. Li's face darkened.

No one would comment on a girl who has not yet left the court as being "good-looking", as if she is saying that her daughter will serve others with sex. This Aunt Jia is simply deceiving others.

Just when Mrs. Li wanted to stand up and argue, Daohua spoke first again: "I have long heard that the nuns in the palace are all polite and well-behaved. Aunt Jia...is really well-behaved."

Seeing Daohua with a slight smile on her face and not going back to quarreling with Aunt Jia, all the ladies present couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Guo Xueming and Jiang Wanying also looked at Daohua, with obvious surprise and surprise in their eyes.

This eldest daughter of the Yan family actually openly confronted the nanny in the Queen Mother's palace. She is so courageous!

Daohua ignored everyone's reactions, and didn't even look at Grandma Jia, who looked shocked. Instead, she turned to look at Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Guo with a smile.

"My little daughter has never been to the capital. I have something that I don't understand, and I would like to ask the two ladies to explain it to me."

Mrs. Jiang frowned slightly and did not answer.

Mrs. Guo smiled and said: "What doubts are there? Come and tell me, if I don't know, there is Mrs. Jiang." The enemy of my enemy is my friend, not to mention that the Yan family has helped the master, and she is willing to help Yan.

The eldest girl comes to the rescue.

Daohua said with a smile: "Do people in the capital praise others like this? I heard that there are so many noble girls in the capital, and they all look extraordinary. Compared with them, people like me are simply out of reach."

"Just now, Grandma Jia called my appearance as a 'good color'. So, are the ladies in the capital even more 'good color'?"

Looking at Daohua's eyes full of curiosity, Mrs. Guo was speechless for a moment. How should she answer this question?

Saying that a girl is beautiful in public is not a compliment, it even contains a certain amount of malice.

When Mrs. Jiang and Aunt Jia heard what Daohua said, they were both surprised and angry.

Aunt Jia was stunned for a while before denying it: "When did the old slave say that the noble girl from the capital is 'good-looking'?" She is not arrogant enough to openly arrange for the noble girl from the capital.

Daohua looked at Aunt Jia without smiling: "Why, did I misunderstand what Auntie meant? But you even praised me, how could you be stingy in praising a noble lady in the capital? Forget about other things,

Don't you give a few words of praise to those who can enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother?"

Aunt Jia looked at Daohua unexpectedly and angrily, who was not afraid to confront her directly. She was from the Queen Mother's palace, wasn't she afraid of offending her?
