Chapter 788 Is Mrs. Peng’s natal family a blacksmith?
For such a big happy event at home, of course Li Laosan rushed back with Brother Li, and by the way Mr. Peng also came to drink the wedding wine.
Perhaps he couldn't bear the harassment of his new wife at home, so this time Mr. Peng brought his family.
Wenjuan was not very familiar with this stepmother. After all, she rarely went back after getting married.
Even if I go back, I just want to see my father, leave some things and then go back to the Li family courtyard.
From the trivial things she heard from some of the gentlemen and ladies in the academy, she could tell that this stepmother was not a law-abiding person.
But there are many guests at home today, and the etiquette she should do is also indispensable.
So she hugged the star and sat next to Mrs. Peng to chat a few words.
Mrs. Peng didn’t know whether she had forgotten or was stingy because it was the first time she saw the stars and she didn’t prepare a meeting gift for her grandson.
But she was good at talking. She reached out and pinched Xingxing's fat cheeks and said with a smile: "Oh, it's really good to raise this child to be fat and white.
“Unlike my brother Xiu, who is seven or eight years old and cries every day, which is not pleasant at all.”
Wenjuan raised her eyebrows, knowing that her stepmother was talking about the concubine's younger brother.
Although she didn't like it either, if her stepmother said this on such an occasion, others would only think it was a joke of the Peng family.
So, she said: "Children must learn the rules early when they are young. I am stupid and don't understand these. Fortunately, Xingxing has great-grandmother and grandmother to help teach me."
Does this mean that no one in the Peng family teaches the children well, or that her stepmother is incompetent or does not do her job well?
Mrs. Peng choked and felt a little unhappy.
She couldn't help but increase her strength, pinching Xingxing's face a little painfully.
Xingxing is the eldest grandson of the fourth generation of the Li family. When did he ever suffer such injustice?
He patted Mrs. Peng's hand, jumped out of his mother's arms and went straight to his aunt, "Aunt, aunt, the stars hurt!"
Jiayin bent down to pick up her fat nephew. Seeing that her face was a little red, she felt heartbroken.
So she glanced at Mrs. Peng lightly and said, "Is Mrs. Peng's natal family a blacksmith? She has really strong hands!"
Mrs. Peng felt guilty. She really didn't pay attention just now. She wanted to make a few quibbles, but looking at Jiayin's face, she couldn't say anything.
Although Jiayin is only ten years old and seems to be recovering from a serious illness, she has been pampered by her family since she was a child. She is also a princess with a fiefdom, and she is raised in a noble family.
Today, for Yuanyuan Boy's full moon party, she specially changed into a peach-red and gold-woven pipa-collared shirt. Her bun was simple but grand. She only had a gold crown inserted, but it was embedded with seven-color gems. It was extremely luxurious.
The two specially left braids hang down on her chest, occasionally brushing against the gold-encrusted mutton-fat jade necklace, making her face look even more like the full moon, full of nobility.
Especially looking at Mrs. Peng so lightly, her big clear eyes seemed to be able to see through all her little thoughts.
Mrs. Peng laughed dryly and bravely replied: "The princess is joking, my natal family is a farming and reading family."
“Oh, that was my misunderstanding.” Jiayin sneered, “I thought Mrs. Peng was born with great strength, but it turns out she hasn’t raised a child yet and her subordinates don’t know how important it is.”
Have never raised children? !
Mrs. Peng felt as if her heart had been stabbed by thousands of arrows in an instant, feeling ashamed and angry.
She has been married into the Peng family for almost four years, and she has never been happy, otherwise the concubines in the family would not dare to try to jump on her head and act wild...
Wenjuan saw her stepmother die down, lowered her head and only twisted the handkerchief, feeling relieved.
She was impatient to show any courtesy, so she stood up and said, "Grandma, let me go to the kitchen to have a look. My mother and fourth aunt are probably very busy."
“Go,” Mrs. Li smiled and waved her hand, “Today is a good day for your sister-in-law and Yuanyuan, but you have to suffer a lot from the hard work.”
Wan'er sat very comfortably during this confinement. Not only did she not feel haggard, she actually gained seven or eight pounds.
At this moment, she hugged Yuanyuan and sat next to the old lady, and said with a smile: "Yes, Wenjuan, in a few days, I will be free to sew a good skirt to thank you." "Okay," Wenjuan said without any hesitation. He politely agreed, stepped forward with a smile, touched his round and plump cheeks, and begged: "Sister-in-law, please help me embroider some magnolias on my skirt. The magnolias embroidered by my sister-in-law are the most beautiful!"
"Then add another coat, embroider small white magnolia flowers on the sleeves and neckline, and embroider large flowers on the group. It will definitely look better. My sister just gave me a box of pearls the day before yesterday, so I used pearls as the core." Wan'er I really want to thank this sister-in-law.
Wenjuan doesn't talk much on weekdays, but she is a good person, hardworking and does her duty, neither fighting nor grabbing.
In the past month, she has helped take care of Yuanyuan the most, and she has also taught parenting lessons. She is really a rare and good sister-in-law in the world.
The women next to him were all looking at her with envy. Regardless of whether they were rich or poor, living a comfortable life and having fun as a family was the most important thing.
The sisters-in-law relationship in the Li family is almost the same as that of biological sisters.
Some people couldn't bear it anymore and gathered around Old Mrs. Li to ask about the other boys of the Li family...
Not to mention the excitement in the house, just that Wenjuan brought the maid Xiaoyue to the kitchen courtyard in front.
Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru were leading the people to prepare for the banquet.
Zhao Yuru urged Tao Hongying, "Hongying, it's almost busy here. Wash your hands quickly, tidy up, and go to the backyard to entertain guests. Jia Huan and I are here!"
Tao Hongying refused, "Third sister-in-law, you are my sister-in-law, and you will be the one to entertain the guests when you go. How can there be any reason for one of my younger siblings to show off and leave you to work?"
Zhao Yuru couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this, and pulled her to wash her hands, "Lao Si is the general, and Fu Niu'er is the princess. No matter what, it's your turn to go and socialize.
“Your third brother, me, and Jia Huan were all in the food business, so of course we are in charge of the kitchen.”
While the two sisters were pulling, they heard someone shouting in the yard.
“Who are you? Stop!”
The two were stunned for a moment, and immediately shouted loudly to the woman who was helping the cook in the kitchen, as well as the cooks sent by Cyclamen, not to go out.
The two of them wanted to take a look at the door, but they were already pushed inside by Jia Huan.
Jia Huan rushed out with a kitchen knife in each hand.
Because he recognized that the person shouting just now was Wenjuan!
Wenjuan and Xiaoyue were standing behind the door panel at the moment. Xiaoyue was holding the door bolt in her hand, protecting her master tightly.
Dongmei, Shuiling and Shuiyun were now fighting with a middle-aged woman.
Jiahuan ran to Wenjuan and saw that she was not injured, so he asked, "What's going on?"
Wenjuan's face was shocked and she quickly responded: "As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Mrs. Fang and her little granddaughter fetching water.
“And this unfamiliar woman stood behind them, opened the lid of the soup pot, and was about to pour something into it!”
There were many visitors today, and the pots in the kitchen were not enough, so we temporarily built two earthen stoves in the corners of the courtyard.
One is braised pork, and the other is stewed with mutton and wolfberry soup.
Sure enough, some people focused on these two earthen stoves.
By chance, Master and Servant Wenjuan came over and saw her at a glance.
Actually, even if they hadn't crashed, nothing would have happened today.
Because Dongmei and Shuiling have been working in the yard, watching all the movements.
They noticed this strange woman when she came in to ask for water...
The young woman is very capable. Dongmei and Shui Ling attacked her one by one, but they actually managed to survive for a while.
But she found an opportunity, grabbed Mrs. Fang's little granddaughter and threw it in front of Dongmei and Shuiling...
