Even if a noble daughter from an aristocratic family holds a small banquet to entertain her good sisters, it is still very particular.

They have to write invitations in advance and send them out, and make a lot of preparations for the banquet. For example, what tea and snacks to prepare, what dishes to prepare, and what activities to arrange when the little sisters come, all have to be carefully prepared.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong, there will be a reputation of being impatient, incompetent, and unable to run a household. This will have a great impact on future marriage discussions.

If any of the little sisters are unable to attend the banquet due to something else, the banquet will not be changed.

Otherwise, for the sake of the one who can't come, you let go of the other little sisters. Where do you put the other little sisters? Who is inferior to whom and is someone else's foil?

The old lady added: "In this case, tomorrow you go and take a walk in person and tell me that I am sick. Sister Xi's servant is also infected with the disease. She has been coughing badly. It is really not suitable to go to the house for the banquet. She is little

Although the little one can draw a few strokes under the guidance of Mr. Kumu, it is not a big achievement. He really doesn't dare to let Miss Qi and the others wait. Since they are having a flower appreciation party, they should hurry up and start the party while the plum blossoms are in full bloom.

I'm really sorry that Sister Xi can't attend the banquet. When she recovers, you can bring her to your home to accompany you."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhu surrendered happily: "Mom, you still have an idea. This is the best way."

The old lady sighed: "Our family status is still low, and others don't take us seriously. Otherwise, how can we force others to attend the banquet without any respect?"

"Isn't it?" Zhu also sighed.

The child has made such achievements, but her family cannot protect her, and she has to face these problems, which makes Ms. Zhu feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Okay, if the child is so capable, our family will gradually get better. You go and prepare gifts." The old lady said.

Mrs. Zhu prepared a gift and sent someone to the Duke of Wei's Mansion to send a greeting card. The next day, she went to the Duke of Wei's Mansion and explained the matter, and repeated what the old lady taught her.

The attitude is very sincere.

The old lady is still alive, she is kind and upright, and she is a very good person.

It turned out that the old lady of Suiping's house pretended to have a stroke, and she even came to visit her once.

Hearing Zhu's words, she said cheerfully: "Sister Xuan must admire your sister Xi so much that I want to invite her to the banquet and get acquainted with her. If the child is sick, please send someone to tell her."

But why do we need to come to our door and explain it in person? How can we feel at ease?"

After speaking, she asked the old lady about Tang's condition and asked someone to bring a stick of old wild ginseng for Zhu to take back.

Mrs. Zhu naturally refused to accept it. But the old lady insisted again and again, saying that it was for Mrs. Tang, and Mrs. Zhu, the daughter-in-law, could not stop her, so Mrs. Zhu had no choice but to accept it.

As soon as Zhu left, the old lady sent someone to call Qi Xuan and asked her: "You want to invite Miss Zhao Wu from Suiping Mansion to the banquet, and asked Miss Zhao Liu to deliver the invitation? You asked her

What did Miss Zhao Liu say? Don't hide it, tell me every word."

When Mr. Zhu came to visit, the old Duke's wife and the Duke's wife, as well as several wives in the mansion, and the eldest young lady came out to accompany the guests. There were many people sitting in the hall.

Qi Xuan didn't know that Zhu was coming, so she felt a little nervous when she saw this stance. When she heard this again, she knew what the problem was.

Because the old Duke's wife was a sensible person and had a very strict upbringing, Qi Xuan did not dare to hide anything, so she told what she said that day.

She also knew that she was wrong and defended herself: "I just wanted her to come and play so much, that's why I said that. Grandma, I'm sorry, I was wrong."

"Hmph, it's obvious that they don't know what's good and what's good. Even though they knew it, they still did such a thing. Does this mean that they feel that Uncle Suiping's house is not as good as ours, so we can ignore them and bully them at will?" Mrs. Guo Gong said.

He asked with a stern face.

Qi Xuan was what the second lady said. When she heard this, she stood up quickly and said, "Sister Xuan doesn't dare."

Qi Xuan lowered her head and said, "My granddaughter doesn't dare."

The old lady knew that not only Qi Xuan, but also her daughters-in-law had such thoughts.

If her daughter-in-law hadn't made such remarks in front of Qi Xuan, Qi Xuan would not have dared to do such a thing.

Now she is obviously scolding her granddaughter, but in fact she is beating up her daughters-in-law.

She glanced at everyone in the room and said slowly: "If you thought this way in the past, you would be right. But now that Zhao Ruxi is here, whoever underestimates the Suiping Mansion will suffer big losses."

."

The second lady is from a good background and has a straightforward temperament. Although she respects the old lady, she is not very afraid of her mother-in-law.

When she heard these remarks, she felt a little disapproving.

She said: "Mom, are you exaggerating? If Zhao Ruxi were a boy, I would believe what you said. But Zhao Ruxi is just a girl, what's the use of being promising? She will be gone soon after the New Year.

She is fifteen years old and will get married in at least one or two years."

"Besides, no matter how promising she is, she is just a painter. No matter how good she is, what's the use? Let's not talk about her, just Mr. Kumu. If it weren't for the fact that he is the emperor's cousin and has a deep relationship with the emperor, I guess this capital

Not many people here take him seriously."

The Duke's wife was very convinced of her mother-in-law.

She said: "Mom, what you said must make sense. Mom, please tell us."

The old lady glanced at the second lady: "The second daughter-in-law also said just now that the reason why Mr. Kumu has a transcendent status is because of the emperor's respect. Now, the paintings of the fifth sister of the Zhao family have caught the attention of the emperor and won many awards.

People's appreciation, isn't that enough for you to take her seriously? A capable person will be respected wherever he goes."

"Because of her beauty and ability, I heard that Pingnan Hou Shizi had intended to marry the fifth sister. The Peng family also asked the eldest sister to go back to her parents' home to propose marriage, but they were all rejected. I'm not sure how she will marry in the future.

As for my family. A wife is valued by her husband. How do you know how high she will stand in the future? It is possible for her to enter the palace and become a queen, or marry a prince."

"Don't bully a young man who is poor. That's what I'm talking about. If she really wants to marry someone, it will be a girl from the Zhao family. Whoever bullies her natal family, given how much her husband's family values ​​her, will stand up for her without waiting for her to speak. As for her.

Brother, I need to support you even more."

"Have we seen too little of the ups and downs of the powerful people in the capital? With such a capable man, the Suiping Mansion is about to rise. If you don't believe it, just watch. This is what I always teach you.

You guys, don't look through the cracks in the door. Who knows one day he will gain power and help or retaliate against you? This is the principle of being kind to others and convenient to yourself."

Every one of the juniors in the room stood up and listened when the old lady mentioned the word "teaching".
