Chapter 418 Self-inflicted boredom
Just as Mrs. Zhang was complaining inward, Mrs. Xie San walked in with Mrs. Qi, Liu Paner, Li Rong and others.
Mrs. Xie San is good at dancing and introducing Mrs. Dere to everyone.
As for Mrs. Qi, she was the magistrate's wife, and she had seen it on other occasions, so she did not need to introduce it. After that, she began to introduce today's protagonist Li Rong.
Mrs. Li liked Li Rong very much when she saw her appearance.
The younger son likes good colors, and the younger son must like Li Rong's appearance.
When Mrs. Xie San took Li Rong to greet everyone, Mrs. Li immediately stepped down from the white jade bracelet on her wrist and leaned on Li Rong's wrist without saying a word.
Mrs. Li was too enthusiastic and her hands were very fast, so Li Rong didn't react and the bracelet hit her wrist.
Li Rong looked at her mother at a loss. Will she accept this person if she doesn’t know her?
Liu Paner nodded. Since Mrs. Li had given this in public, it was hard to retreat again.
Pushing around is indecent.
In fact, the ladies who came here today have already prepared gifts and do not need to give additional gifts, unless they have a very close relationship and very good ones.
But after Mrs. Qi thought about it carefully, whether it was Arong's biological mother or her, she had a similar relationship with Governor Mrs. Li. Later, when she saw Mrs. Li's daughter, Mrs. Qi was going to give her a similar gift and go back.
"Thank you, Mrs. Li." Li Rong thanked her and had a great blessing.
Mrs. Li smiled and looked at Li Rong with a very eager look. "I heard that Arong looks like her mother and has a good temperament. I really like it. I would have liked her if I had such a daughter!"
A woman holding Mrs. Li quickly echoed: "Madam Li doesn't want such a daughter, but she still has a second son like a banished immortal in the family. Finding such a daughter-in-law and treating her as a daughter can be considered the best of both worlds, and there is no regret."
On such an occasion, saying such words in front of a little girl and her elders has a deep meaning.
At least when the people here heard these words, they felt that Mrs. Li had fallen in love with Li Rong and wanted to see the marriage of her second son.
Mrs. Li’s husband is the second-rank governor of Jiangnan and the younger sister of Marquis of Huaiyang.
My family background has been very good since I was a child, and I can't help but become a little arrogant when I act.
Mrs. Qi's expression remained unchanged, but she felt quite annoyed.
Such a good girl from Arong in their family, the second son of the Li family who is not motivated is not worthy of Arong at all.
Besides, it is not appropriate to say such things on such occasions.
Mrs. Qi was thinking about how to answer, which could not only warn Mrs. Li, but also be decent.
At this time, Liu Paner smiled, but his eyes were very cold, "Mrs. Li wants a daughter like Arong. I can understand that as a mother, I am really very pleased and happy to have a good daughter like Arong. Thank you for your appreciation. I want me to tell you that the daughter-in-law is not as caring as her daughter. Mrs. Li is still young. Governor Li is in his prime and works hard. Maybe Mrs. Li can really give birth to a daughter who is as good as our Arong."
Liu Paner's voice was crisp, and the words he said spread throughout the hall.
Everyone could hear Mrs. Li's wishes, and naturally they could also hear Liu Paner's refusal, and even had the intention of counterattacking.
After all, Mrs. Li's eldest grandson can be hilarious and is not young. Except for the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, Governor Li symbolically came to the house to stay overnight, and he had no close relationship with Governor Li long ago.
No matter whether it is age or husband-wife relationship, it is not enough to have another child.
But Mrs. Derui Liu Paner said it in public, and counterattacked Mrs. Li on such an occasion and made a big fuss to show that she fell in love with Li Rong, but she was just a humiliation.
Even after hearing this, Mrs. Qi just complained in her heart and couldn't find the right words to deal with it decently.
It’s not because I’m afraid of Mrs. Li, but because the more I say this, the harder it is to explain it. The best way to deal with it is to downplay it.
But Mrs. Derui Liu Paner didn't do this and did not allow anyone to neglect Li Rong.
Mrs. Li looked embarrassed, but as a qualified family, she was born in a noble girl and had been the head of a family for so many years, she quickly adjusted.
"Mrs. Dry was joking! If I were ten years younger, I might have tried it. I can't afford to be too old."
At this time, Mrs. Xie San was worried that Mrs. Dere would say some unexpected words, so she quickly changed the topic, "The banquet is about to begin, let's go over, right? Mrs. Li invites me!"
At this time, Mrs. Li also felt embarrassed on her face. It was indeed a bit inappropriate for her to say those words just now.
Especially the words said by the woman who was holding her just now, it was even more inappropriate.
It seems to be joking, but if you think about it carefully, you will be a little bit underestimated by Li Rong.
However, in Jiangnan, Governor Li has the largest official position and has always been held by others. He has never been run in person like this.
Mrs. Li felt that she had lost face and spoke a little more sarcastic. "The face of the Jinling Marquis Mansion is very rare. Mrs. Derui must have never seen it. Today I can see it and gain knowledge. If you don't understand, ask me. I will definitely tell you everything I know and say everything I can."
Although Mrs. Li said it nicely, her implication was to mock Liu Paner for being a peasant woman in the countryside.
Liu Pan'er seemed to have not heard it, and showed sincerity on her face, "Thank you Mrs. Li!"
Only she dared to be sarcastic, but Mrs. Li didn't dare to argue with her openly, so Liu Pan'er was not afraid.
Mrs. Xie San did not dare to arrange Mrs. Li to sit with Liu Paner, so she changed her seat. However, when Mrs. Li saw that Liu Paner ignored her, she became excited and insisted on sitting opposite Liu Paner.
The woman who was originally sitting opposite Liu Paner did not dare to offend Mrs. Li, so she quickly got up and sat at another table.
Seeing this, Liu Paner knew that Mrs. Li would not give up.
Mrs. Xie San was anxious, sweating on her forehead, and quietly came to Mrs. Qi and whispered: "Mrs. Qi, look at this, why don't you persuade Mrs. Dere?"
Mrs. Qi looked at Mrs. Xie San with a smile, "Mrs. Li is rude first, so don't blame others for squeezing her. Besides, Mrs. Derui is a distinguished guest of the Xie family. If she didn't help the distinguished guest persuade Mrs. Li, she even asked Mrs. Derui to persuade Mrs. Derui. Is it a bit over the horse? Or is it that Arong is dispensable to your Jinling Hou Mansion? Or is it not important to Arong's decency?"
Mrs. Xie San had a bitter face and quickly begged for forgiveness, "Mrs. Qi, don't say that, I'm in a difficult situation. Forget it, I can't afford to offend anyway, so I dare not care."
Li Rong was nervous and looked at her mother.
Liu Pan'er held her hand and comforted Li Rong.
When the dishes were served, they used public chopsticks.
Liu Paner usually teaches children the rules of eating. Although it is different from the etiquette of aristocratic families, it is not rude.
Mrs. Li originally wanted to find the mistake and squeezed Liu Pan'er, but now Liu Pan'er and a few children are good, and they can't find a reason for it for a while.
At this moment, a Buddha jumped over the wall.
