Chapter 140
From the day she decided to invite the New Year's Eve, Li Ran was worried about what she, the hostess should do, or even what she should do.
Social engagements are her shortcoming, and she has never learned it.
Li Ran never had any ignorance about her in many aspects, so she, the hostess, was just step by step on the day of the New Year's Eve. Li Ran asked Madam Sang straightforwardly.
Madam Sang was stunned by Li Ran’s question.
She had never thought about this question. For her, it was like someone asking her how to open her mouth, chew, and swallow it when she was having a meal.
Madam Sang thought about it carefully and thought about it. After more than a day of sorting out, she finally figured out what the mistress Li Ran, who was going to do step by step.
For example, when the guests start to arrive, she should stand near the door of the large warmhouse, which is the main hall, to welcome the guests.
She wants to be nobler than her and her elders...this point can basically be ignored.
The royal family has a simple population. As long as the Empress Luo and the Crown Princess cannot come, there is no more noble than her.
As for the elders, Mrs. Shen in the village outside the city will definitely not come. Mrs. Xie has already sent a message. Mrs. Shao is not in good health, so they can't come.
But in order to show her modesty, she should welcome the old ladies in several houses, such as Mrs. Wu from Cao's Mansion, Mrs. An from Wang's Mansion, etc., and Princess Du from the Prince's Mansion of Hejian County. She would better meet one step or two steps, after all, she is extremely young.
If she thinks she wants to give some face, she can also take a step forward. If there are more, it will be inappropriate and will make the other party feel nervous.
Then, she should talk to several of the most noble elderly ladies. At this time, she still needs to pay attention to the guests of the entire warm room. Of course, if she can't do this attention now, it doesn't matter. Madam Huang will definitely do it very well. Ziqian and Qingqian will also quietly remind her when she should pay attention.
If she had anything else, she could say a few words to the guests she could speak. After that, it would be almost done. She just needed to send the noble old ladies a few steps to the door of the warm-up pavilion.
There were not many people who invited me to this New Year's Eve. Li Ran almost welcomed several old ladies and Princess Du one by one that Madam Sang had instructed them one by one. Then, she saw Wang Jing, Xie Pei, and the two young ladies of the Cao family.
The fourth lady Cao was told by the grandmother Mrs. Wu. She treated her with a proper manner and looked at Wang Jing, her third sister-in-law and Li Ran.
In addition to looking around, Cao Si Niang looked at Li Ran.
As Madam Sang told, Li Ran gave Mrs. An, Mrs. Wu and several other old ladies one by one, and talked with her for a while. In fact, it was just the old ladies who asked and she answered.
When this process was completed, Li Ran went over to talk to Wang Jing and Xie Pei, the fourth lady Cao could no longer help but leaned over and smiled, "Are the third brother and the others there?"
Mrs. Cao Si pointed to the other side of the stream not far away.
"Sister Four!"
Without waiting for Li Ran to utter a word, Cao San Madam hurriedly pulled Cao Si's sleeve, and said that there was a clear intention of stopping the four sisters.
Xie Pei laughed out loud.
Wang Shi also smiled: "You can't see whether you are here or not!"
"Oh!" Mrs. Cao Si sighed.
Li Ran laughed, "It shouldn't be here now."
"Oh! I always feel that when the Li sister married General Xie, I will see General Xie from time to time. Why do I feel that way?"
Mrs. Cao Si looked depressed.
"Didn't you see it once when you block the door?" Xie Pei smiled.
"I really didn't dare to look at it anymore. General Xie even smiled. When he smiled, his eyes were dazzled and he didn't see clearly at all!" Miss Cao Si's depression added countless regrets.
"It is said that the prince is coming. I will pass by the bridge over there in a while and go to the small study behind you. Find a place to guard it." Li Ran pointed to a small stone bridge not far away and smiled with Miss Cao Si.
"Oh!" Mrs. Cao Si cheered in a voice. Just as she was about to rush out, Xie Pei grabbed her, "Don't get too close, the prince is here, if you get close, it will hinder the defense."
"I know, I know, let's go quickly, sister!" The fourth lady Cao agreed repeatedly, dragged Cao Sanzi, went to the direction Li Ran indicated, and found a place to wait and see General Xie.
Wang Jing laughed while laughing.
"The grandmother said, the fourth sister is not confused about major issues, she is also lucky." Xie Pei smiled with a pursed lips.
Li Rancong kept laughing, Xie Pei looked at Wang Jing, and asked with something in his words: "I haven't seen the third young master for a while, but is it okay?"
