There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 569

[Chapter 569, Tear Your Face in Public (Two Chapters in One)]

On the second day after attending the Guo family banquet, Mrs. Li received an invitation from the Jiang family.

Daohua looked at the address on the invitation, and her brows jumped up.

Guo’s mansion is located on the street in front of Xiao Yeyang’s mansion, while Jiang’s mansion is on the street behind. The two families surrounded Xiao Yeyang’s house one behind the other.

Thinking of this, Dao Hua felt a little irritable.

Anyone who knows that his own person is being missed by others will probably feel uncomfortable.

With this thought, Daohua’s heart trembled.

It turns out that her own person

is deep in her heart, and Xiao Yeyang is already her own person? In a

daze, Daohua forgot that she was in Mrs. Li’s room at the moment, and threw the invitation card in her hand. She couldn’t control her strength and threw it away. to the ground.

Seeing Mrs. Li, she immediately frowned: “What are you doing?”

Daohua came back to her senses, quickly got up and picked up the invitation, and put it next to Mrs. Li: “Mother, my daughter just doesn’t want to go. Attend the Jiang family’s banquet.”

Mrs. Li didn’t give Daohua a good face this time, and said with reproach: “Even if you don’t want to, you shouldn’t show it, and let people know what you’re thinking, isn’t that right?” Do you want to be manipulated to death?”

As he said that, his expression straightened.

“Since we’ve come to this point today, Mother has something to tell you.”

“In the past, you didn’t like to attend banquets, so Mother let you do it a lot, but now that you’re grown up, you can no longer let your own temper go. ”

Things like gatherings and banquets are unavoidable in every family. When you marry someone in the future and take charge of the middle school, you will have more contacts. Don’t underestimate the gatherings between women. This is to maintain relationships with other families.” It is an important means of relationship and an important channel to inquire about news from various governments.”

“We live in the inner house, so we don’t have many channels to learn about the outside world. A lot of news is heard or inquired about at parties and banquets. Therefore, you must learn to walk comfortably in various occasions and banquets.

Daohua was silent, stirred the handkerchief in her hand, and said in a muffled voice: “Mother, my daughter knows.” Mrs.

Li touched her daughter’s head: “The arrival of the Jiang family and the Guo family, in my mother’s opinion, It’s actually pretty good, and it’s just a chance for you to see how the noble ladies of the capital behave in social relations.” As

he spoke, he picked up the invitation card from the Jiang family.

“The Jiang family will hold a banquet on April 25th, which is quite rushed. It seems that the relationship between the Guo family and the Jiang family is even more tense than our image.”

Hearing this, Daohua showed surprise: “Mother, you How do you know this?”

Mrs. Li smiled: “Mrs. Guo’s mother and daughter just arrived, and Mrs. Jiang’s mother and daughter moved here. Strength. Based on what happened at the banquet yesterday, what kind of situation do you think it is?”

“Since it is a competition, it must not lose to the other party. If one party invites all parties, the other party will naturally not be left behind. The family’s banquet time is so close, it’s obvious that it’s meant to be a ring, see, the Jiang family’s banquet will definitely be bigger than the Guo family’s, so as to overwhelm the Guo family’s limelight.”

Daohua disagreed She shook her head: “Your life is your own, why bother to let others see it.”

Mrs. Li sighed with a light smile, “You are still young, and you don’t know that many things are beyond your control, and some things must be fought over.”

” The Guo family and the Jiang family are both dignitaries in the capital, the contest between Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Jiang is no longer their own business, but also related to the two families behind them.”

Daohua fell silent, and finally spit out two words: “It’s really tiring.”

Mrs. Li said with a smile: “Isn’t it? It’s not easy to be a daughter-in-law of a noble family. Of course, not everyone can take the role.”

Hearing this, the silk handkerchief in Daohua’s hand was stirred. Even more powerful.

Indeed, as Mrs. Li said, the banquet held by Jiang’s family on April 25th was extraordinarily grand. Not only did they invite the most prestigious Double Happiness Troupe in the provincial government to sing, but the dishes on the banquet were also top-notch. Everyone marveled at the strong financial resources of the Jiang family.

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

As soon as the nun came, she was the focus of everyone’s attention.

Daohua also took a closer look. This Mammy Jia looked about forty years old, her hair was combed meticulously, her dress was neat without a single wrinkle, and her behavior was neither humble nor overbearing.

The old man beside the queen mother, the wives present did not dare to treat him as an idle servant, even Mrs. Guo, who reluctantly came to the banquet, would give him a little face.

“I heard that the mothers in the palace are very strict. The rules and etiquette of princesses and princesses are all taught by them. If they don’t conform to the rules, they will directly hit the board.”

“So fierce?”

“Isn’t it, The little prince is really miserable, and now there are two more chaperoning mothers.”

Jia Momo didn’t stay long when she came over, she chatted and laughed with Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Guo, and then said goodbye: “There are many places in the mansion of the little prince. It’s not in compliance with the rules, my sister Zeng and I were ordered by the Queen Mother and the Emperor to take care of the little prince, these things must be corrected one by one.”

Mrs. Jiang accepted the words with a smile, and sighed: “Who says it’s not, Yeyang child Living alone without anyone to take care of the daily life, we really don’t care too much, but now that the mother is here, we can rest assured.”

Jia mother said very modestly: “The old slave will try to do the queen mother’s confession . Madam Jiang asked again: ” By the way,   mama, hasn’t Yeyang

come back yet?” Nanny Jia shook her head: “We have been here for quite a while, but we haven’t seen Xiao

The figure of the prince.”

Hearing this, Madam Jiang suddenly looked at Madam Li, and said with a smile: “I heard that Madam’s son and nephew have been following Ye Yang, I wonder if they have returned home during this time?”

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Mrs. Li glanced at Mrs. Jiang, and said with a smile, “I haven’t been back for a few days, and said that I went to the military camp with the little prince to practice.”

Jia Nanny, who was about to leave, suddenly Interjected: “I heard that the young prince has been very close to Mrs. Yan these years?”

Hearing this probing question, and Madam Jia’s scrutinizing eyes, Mrs. Li frowned slightly. Visibly frowning , but quickly smiled and said: “The children of my family were classmates with the young prince when they were in

Wangyue Academy.” Seeing Mrs. Li dismissing her with just one word, Jia Nanny felt a little unhappy and thought about it. Thinking about it, he said again: “I don’t know if the girl from the Yan family has come, let the old slave see me too.”

These low-level officials are the best at studying, and they can do such things as selling girls for glory.

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

After glancing at the hidden gaze of the lady present, Mrs. Li suppressed the anger in her heart. Just as she was about to say something, she saw her daughter standing up beside her.

“The eldest daughter of the prefect of Ningmen Prefecture, I have met Grandma Jia!” Daohua

took two steps forward, bowed gracefully, and then raised a smile: “I don’t know what it means that Grandma Jia wants to see the little girl?

” Daohua has no stage fright at all, and she is not afraid to stare at her. There is no awe in her brows. She has always claimed to be an old man in the empress dowager’s palace, and she feels offended. After looking at Daohua for a while,

she gave a flat evaluation: “Sure enough.” In the palace, even the princes and princesses would call her “Mother Jia” kindly when they saw her. Girl, how dare you not take her seriously, so she had to teach her how to behave.

As soon as Nanny Jia’s words came out, Mrs. Li’s expression immediately darkened.

No one would comment on a girl who is not out of the cabinet as “good looking”, as if saying that her daughter can serve people in Israel, this Nanny Jia is simply deceiving people too much.

Just when Mrs. Li wanted to get up and argue, Dao Hua spoke up first again: “I have heard that all the mothers in the palace are polite and well behaved, and Mother Jia is really well behaved.”

Looking at her with a slight smile , Not lightly but not again, returning to Daohua, who hates Grandma Jia, all the wives present couldn’t help but widen their eyes.

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

This eldest girl of the Yan family actually confronted the mother in the queen mother’s palace openly, she is really brave enough!

Daohua ignored everyone’s reactions, let alone looking at the shocked Nanny Jia, but turned to look at Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Guo with a smile.

“My little girl has never been to the capital, and I don’t understand something, and I would like to ask the two ladies to clarify.”

Mrs. Jiang frowned slightly, but did not answer.

Mrs. Guo smiled and said, “What doubts? Tell me quickly. If I don’t know, there is Mrs. Jiang.” An enemy’s enemy is a friend, not to mention that the Yan family has helped the master, and she is willing to give Yan The eldest girl made a rescue.

Daohua smiled and said, “Are people in the capital boasting so much? I heard that there are a lot of noble girls in the capital, and they all look extraordinary. Compared with them, people like me are simply far behind.”

“Just now, Grandma Jia called my willow-like appearance a ‘good color’, then, are the noble girls in the capital even more ‘good color’?”

Looking at Daohua’s eyes full of curiosity, Mrs. Guo She was speechless for a while, how could she answer these words?

It is not a compliment to say that the girl is good-looking in public, and there is even a certain amount of malice in it.

Madam Jiang and Nanny Jia who were nearby were both surprised and annoyed when they heard what Daohua said.

Grandma Jia was stunned for a while before she denied it: “When did this old slave say that the noble lady in the capital is ‘good looking’?” She was not arrogant enough to openly arrange the noble lady in the capital.

Dao Hua looked at Nanny Jia with a half-smile: “Why, I misunderstood what Nanny meant? But you even praised me, so how could you be stingy in praising the noble girls in the capital? Nothing else, Those who can enter the palace to meet the queen mother, don’t you give a few words of praise?”

Mother Jia looked unexpectedly and anxiously at Daohua who confronted her without fear, she was from the queen mother’s palace, she was not afraid of offending her ?

She didn’t speak, but Daohua did continue to speak: “Mother Jia, you have lived in the palace for a long time, so you may not know who my father is, so listen carefully now.

” , maybe in your eyes, he is not as good as those high-ranking officials you usually see in the palace, but since he became an official, he has been dedicated to serving the emperor. Even if he is a fourth-rank official, he is still appointed by the emperor. Commander.”

Then he patted his chest.

“I am the eldest daughter of the prefect of Ningmen Prefecture. I saw Grandma Jia for the first time today. I don’t know how I offended you and wanted to humiliate you like this.”

Hearing Daohua’s straightforward questioning, Grandma Jia Straight away.

In the capital, even if the girls of every family are wronged, they still endure it silently. cheeky?

She openly humiliated the daughter of the imperial court official, and there was nothing inappropriate before. If this matter breaks out, even if she is a member of the empress dowager’s palace, she will have to be punished.

Mammy Jia suddenly felt a little bit stuck, and glanced at Mrs. Jiang.

Mrs. Jiang was also a little confused. After receiving Jia Nanny’s call for help, she was thinking about how to smooth things over. At this time, a servant girl walked over quickly.

When Mrs. Jiang saw it, she immediately asked, trying to use this to divert the matter away: “But what’s the matter?”

The maid who came was newly bought by Mrs. Jiang after she moved to Ningmen Mansion. It was the first time she came here to send a message. , didn’t think much, and immediately replied:

“Returning to Madam, the magistrate Yan brought two young masters of the Yan family to visit the master. He heard the movement here when he passed the garden just now. The master learned that someone bumped into Miss Yan. I would like you to take him there so that he and Yan My lord, let’s ask about what happened.”

Hearing the answer, Mrs. Jiang was stunned for a moment, why are Master and Lord Yan here?

Also, where did this servant girl come from? She can’t even answer a single question. Do you want her to send Nanny Jia to the front yard for questioning?

Only then did Mrs. Jiang notice that the girl who was answering the question was surprised, and she felt extremely regretful in her heart.

I moved here in a hurry, and there was not enough manpower, so I bought a new maid, otherwise, such a mistake would never have happened.   Compared to Mrs. Jiang’s anger, Mrs.

Guo grasped the point immediately: “Mr. Yan, but Mr. Yan San and Mr. Yan?” The servant girl

nodded: “It’s the two gentlemen.”

Several faces were happy, but Mrs. Guo stood up suddenly, and asked eagerly: “Young Master Yan is back, is Ye Yang back too?

” Got it.”

Mrs. Jiang came back to her senses, and waved her hand at the maidservant who answered: “You go down.” Thinking of the friendship between Ye Yang and the Yan family brothers, she couldn’t help but glance at Grandma Jia, and gave her a peace of mind. eyes.

Mother Jia didn’t want to stay here any longer when Madam Guo said that Xiao Yeyang might come back. Seeing the look in Madam Jiang’s hand, although she was very reluctant in her heart, many years of life in the palace made her Having practiced the ability to bend and stretch, she immediately walked up to Dao Hua and gave her a blessing.

“It’s the old servant who said the wrong thing, please don’t blame Miss Yan.”

Daohua looked at the half-squatting Jia Nanny, stared at her for a while, and suddenly smiled: “Manny knows the sharpest weapon in the world.” What is it?”

Nanny Jia raised her head in surprise, with anger in her eyes, she had already apologized in public, and this girl from the Yan family was still chasing her, so she didn’t know what to do.

Daohua ignored her and continued: “It’s a human mouth. Once you open and close your mouth, I get the reputation of ‘good color’. Now you lightly say that you are wrong, and you want to expose the matter.” , I can forgive you, but can you guarantee that others will not spread it indiscriminately?”
