Chapter 1115, Little Prince Xiao’s Soft Fingers (27)
The Yan family personally came to give the New Year gift, but the steward did not dare to delay. As soon as they left, they hurried to the Qian Mansion and told Master Wang about the matter.
Compared with the Qian family, the Yan family is naturally more important.
Master Wang couldn't sit still immediately, and said goodbye to Master Qian with a smile.
When the steward reported the report, Lord Qian was beside him. Hearing that the Yan family actually gave the Wang family a new year gift, and that the maternal steward next to Mrs. Yan San personally came to the door, the smile on his face became more cordial.
The guests returned to the house in advance, which was somewhat unruly, but Mr. Qian was not unhappy, and repeatedly said that the next time the house will be posted to Wang’s house again.
In the backyard, Mrs. Qian who received the news didn't even think about it. She put down the other guests and personally sent Mrs. Wang to Suihuamen.
Girls from the Qian family even became acquainted with Ms. Wang Da and Ms. Wang Er. They were already like good sisters. When they parted, they both agreed to have fun together after two days.
Looking at the carriage of the Wang family walking away, Mrs. Qian sneered: "The courtesy of the Wang family is really not on the stage."
As soon as I heard that the Yan's family had sent a New Year's gift, I hurriedly wanted to go back. Isn't it clear that they feel that their family is inferior to the Yan's? Although this is a fact, anyone who is smart, who wouldn't behave a little, can't wait to be like this Wang family.
The girl from the Qian family also pouted: "Mother, why should we befriend the Wang family? Lord Wang is just a fifth-grade official who has just entered Beijing."
Mrs. Qian said quietly: "Although the Wang family is unhelpful, they can climb to the Yan family. Your father has always wanted to be transferred to the household department. If our family can use the Wang family to get involved with the Yan family, your father's position will also be transferred. It's gone."
Hearing the words, the girl of the Qian family sighed: "Since this is the case, my daughter has to be patient and deal with the two sisters of the Wang family."
Mrs. Qian patted girl Qian’s hand: "Good boy, thank you for your hard work."
Immediately, the mother and daughter returned to the backyard together.
On the other side, Master Wang kept urging the groom to hurry up, his face was anxious, and he couldn't wait to know what the Yan family had said when he came to the mansion.
Compared with the eagerness and expectation of the Wang family and his son, the Wang family’s mother and daughter were a bit silent.
Yan's family came back again. The mother and daughter wanted to see but did not want to see again, and their mood was very complicated.
Soon, Mr. Wang and the others returned to the house of Wang. When they came back, the group went straight to the old lady’s house.
Old Madam Wang saw her son and daughter-in-law come back so soon, knowing that they knew about the people from Yan's family, she glanced at the grandma next to her, and asked her to tell Ye Yueying not to come here for now.
Master Wang couldn’t wait to ask: "Mother, I heard that the Yan family sent someone to give us a New Year gift?"
Old Madam Wang glanced at her son, and asked instead: “Why did you come back without having dinner when you went to someone’s house and listened to the theatre?”
Master Wang: "Isn’t it heard that the Yan family has come, there is no one at home, so my son can’t come back soon."
Mrs. Wang coldly snorted, "Yingying and I are not human anymore?" Then, she shook her head again, "Beijing is at the feet of the emperor, and everyone here is respectful of rules and etiquette. You Yan family has already gone back, you are What can be delayed when you come back after dinner?"
Just like her son, even if Yingying really has any great luck in the future, she would not dare to let her help.
The son-in-law said rightly that her son can’t stand, and he really wants to have power. It’s not a happy event, it’s a disaster.
Master Wang was choked, his face was a bit silly.
Lord Wang saw that his father had been unable to say the main point, so he had to speak: "Grandma, what can someone from the Yan family say?"
Ms. Wang’s attitude towards her grandson is much better: "Mrs. Yan San is here to give the New Year gift, by the way, take a look at Yingying."
Master Wang: "Nothing else?"
The old lady Wang is not angry: "What else can there be?"
Master Wang frowned suddenly: "Son thought that"
Mrs. Wang intercepted: "Why are you still thinking about it? I know a little bit about your thoughts, but I advise you to put it away. The water in the capital is deep, and it's not something you, an unfounded Grade 5 official, can play. "
Master Wang didn’t like to hear these words: “Just like this, mother despises her son?” So he got up and went out of the house.
Son like this, Mrs. Wang has long been offended. In recent years, her son has become less and less obedient to persuasion.
Fortunately, Wang's family has no contacts in the capital. Even if the son is tossing, he can't find any splashes.
Grandpa Wang quickly apologized to Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang waved indifferently.
At this time, Mrs. Wang said: "Mother, where is the New Year gift from the Yan family?"
Old Madam Wang glanced at her and asked the maid to take out the food: "You take it and divide it. After a long time of tossing, I am going to rest."
Madame Wang saw that there was only such a thing, and immediately asked: "The Yan family only has a little food for the New Year ceremony?"
Madam Wang ignored her, and closed her eyes and rested.
Madam Wang still wanted to ask, but was stopped by Prince Wang.
"Mother, let's not disturb grandma's rest."
The eldest son said so, even if Mrs. Wang was dissatisfied, she could only take things out of the house.
As soon as she left the house, Mrs. Wang spoke: "The Yan family is the family of Princess Weiyuan. How could their New Year gifts be so shabby? Your grandmother must be a good mother to give to Yueying. No, I have to go find her Take things out."
Grandpa Wang hurriedly held the person, and asked with a headache: "Mother, why does the Yan family send a New Year gift to our family?"
Mrs. Wang choked, why? It was because of Ye Yueying at that time.
Grand Prince Wang: "Our family can communicate with the Yan family because of the cousin. Then it is reasonable for the grandmother to give the new year gift to the cousin, so the mother should not have trouble."
It’s already a big mistake to fail to bring my cousin to Qian’s house today, and now I can’t conflict with my cousin anymore.
The second girl Wang couldn't see Mr. Wang guarding Ye Yueying, and said with her lips: "Brother, the Yan family is just here to give a New Year gift. I think, let's not take it too seriously, so as not to be disappointed in the end."
Grandpa Wang was silent. Yes, these two days are the peak of gatherings. Yan Jiaruo really values his cousin, why not invite them to be a guest?
Seeing that her words were valid, the second girl continued: "The Ye family is no longer there. Only one Ye Yueying can do what she can do. Maybe the Yan family posted last time, this time giving a New Year gift, just want to show it to outsiders. This is a good reputation."
Grandpa Wang thought for a while, and looked at Mrs. Wang: "Even so, we should take more care of our cousin before Taisun summons her."
Madam Wang nodded: "Okay, I know this."
Because of the Yan family’s coming again, the Wang family’s attitude towards Ye Yueying has improved a lot, and Wang’s house has passed the New Year smoothly.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Mrs. Qian brought Ms. Qian to the door.
Mrs. Wang, Miss Wang, and Miss Wang welcomed them warmly.
The guests came to the door, and Mrs. Wang asked Ye Yueying to see Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Qian, but they came back soon.
Looking at the pearl earrings in Ye Yueying's hand, Mrs. Wang smiled: "Ms. Qian gave me a meeting gift?"
Ye Yueying nodded, and showed the earrings to Mrs. Wang.
Old Madam Wang looked at it and said with a smile: "Although this pearl is not top-grade, it is not bad. There are three girls in the mansion, and Madam Qian is also considered generous."
Ye Yueying smiled faintly, did not speak, but Xuehua on the side spoke up: “Isn’t it generous? The eldest girl and the second girl each got a string of pearl necklaces.”
The pearls used in a string of necklaces can be used for ears. When Mrs. Wang heard it, her complexion suddenly became a little ugly.
Ye Yueying quickly comforted: "Grandma, don't be angry, I'm just an orphan living in Wang's house, and Madam Qian is understandable."
Old Madam Wang shook her head and sighed: "It's nothing more than a little jewelry, I'm not going to be angry about this, I'm angry that your uncle and aunt don't know anyone!"
"At any rate, it is also an official lady. A piece of jewelry from a girl's house. It doesn't cost a few dollars, but it has to be treated differently. It can be seen that Mrs. Qian should be very concerned about the gains and losses, and not allow others to take advantage of it."
"Your uncle made friends. I was pretty happy before, but now, I see that the Qian family is not someone worthy of deep friendship."
Ye Yueying thought of the scrutinizing gaze when Madam Qian looked at her, and also thought of the girl Qian who seemed innocent and innocent, but she was inquiring about idioms. She was deeply impressed by the point of view of her grandmother.
However, her aunt and two cousins are not fuel-efficient lamps either. It may be that who will suffer in the end.
She also noticed that the Wang family and the Qian family had made friends with each other, and both had thoughts of using each other.
The capital is so big, Uncle and Lord Qian happened to meet each other. It's a bit like dividing people into groups in the book.
People who like to study calculations can always recruit the same people.
In the main courtyard, Ms. Qian is pulling Ms. Wang and Ms. Wang and whispering: "Did you know, two days later, it will be the sixth day of the main courtyard. The Chun'an public is mainly in the princess mansion to entertain the ladies in the capital, and now he is sending out posts everywhere. Woolen cloth."
Ms. Wang was puzzled: "Princess Chun'an?"
Ms. Qian knew that the Wang family had just entered Beijing, and she didn’t know many things, so she quickly introduced the famous Princess Chun’an.
"Princess Chun'an is the only daughter of King Weiyuan and Princess Weiyuan. Her elder brother is the youngest prince, and her younger brother is the youngest grandfather of the country. With her background, looking at the entire capital, less than a handful of girls can pass her. "
The second girl Wang was shocked: "Isn't the princess the emperor's daughter? Can the prince's daughter also be a princess?"
Girl Qian gave Miss Wang Er a rare and strange look: "Why not? In the capital, as long as you can be favored by the emperor, nothing is impossible."
"Princess Chun'an, she is really lucky. Not only has she met the emperor's eye, and won the emperor's favor, her parents are also very powerful people."
"King Weiyuan will not say anything about it, guarding the border, driving out the hustle and bustle, and making great achievements; it is the princess Weiyuan who also contributed to Sheji, and the high-yielding grains cultivated are now spread all over Daxia."
"When we have parties with girls, we will mention this princess, and we all envy them."
said, envy and yearning appeared on his face.
"In these years, Princess Chun'an was taken by the King Weiyuan and Princess Weiyuan to travel around Mandaxia, and rarely returned to Beijing. This is the first time that a banquet was held at the Princess's Mansion."
said with a mysterious smile.
"Why do you think all the ladies from every family in the capital want to attend Princess Chun'an's banquet?"
Ms. Wang and Miss Wang looked at each other, and then asked together: "Why?"
A hint of shame and excitement appeared on Miss Qian’s face: “Because she has two brilliant elder brothers and younger brothers, they have not yet set a date for marriage.”
"The son of a high-ranking family was married after seventeen or eighteen, but Xiao Wangye has now been crowned for two years, but the relationship has not been decided yet."
"If you want to come to the prince and princess, you must be anxious, so she will return to Beijing. This time princess Chun'an is hosting a banquet. Everyone is saying that in all likelihood, the prince and princess are going to show off his family. It's seven, maybe we will see each other together."
Hearing these words, both Miss Wang and Miss Wang's eyes began to flash continuously.
"Hey!"
Ms. Qian sighed and looked regretful: "It's a pity that people like us have no chance to attend the banquet in the princess mansion."
Ms. Wang and Miss Wang are also full of regrets.
Girl Qian looked at the expressions of the two of them, fell silent for a while, and tentatively asked the main purpose of coming to Wang's house today: "Isn't your family related to the Yan family? The Yan family girl must be going, are you? There is no way?"
Ms. Wang and Miss Wang looked at each other, and both shook their heads.
Seeing this, Miss Qian's face collapsed, she said, what can the Wang family do, fortunately she got up early this morning and went out.
Tantan heard what she wanted to know, so Miss Qian went back to Madam Qian and whispered the news she had found out.
Knowing that the Wang family can't get along with the Yan family, and Madam Qian didn't want to waste time, she took her daughter to leave.
However, before the mother and daughter sat in the carriage and walked out of the alley where Wang's house was located, they saw the carriage of the Princess Mansion parked in front of the gate of Wang's house.
"Mother, Mrs. Wang and her two daughters are lying to us, they clearly have a way out!"
Girl Qian is a little frustrated.
Ms. Qian thought for a while, and immediately ordered the carriage to turn around. This time, even if she gave up her old face, she still had to fight for her daughter's chance to go to the princess mansion.
She once heard someone say that Wang Weiyuan and Princess Weiyuan choose their daughter-in-laws and do not look at the family, only to see whether the little prince and the little country are like them.
Daughter is a bit coquettish in temperament, but she is also innocent, she is still very good at it.
If you get a chance, you may not be taken by the little prince or the little country.
At the same time, the mother and daughter of the Wang family welcomed the princesses into the gate with excitement. Before they had time to go to the main courtyard, they saw Mrs. Qian's mother and daughter returning.
Thinking that her family might still use Qian's place in the future, Mrs. Wang hesitated for a moment, and smiled and let the two of them into the house.
As soon as she entered the door, Mrs. Qian blessed Mrs. Wang with a slight exaggeration, and her attitude was much better than when she came in the morning.
is the girl Qian, who also pulled Ms. Wang and Ms. Wang's ‘elder sister’ and yelled non-stop with great affection.
A moment ago, the Wang family still relied on the Qian family more. At this moment, the two sides dropped one by one.
Seeing Mrs. Qian and Ms. Qian’s gratitude, the vanity of the Wang family’s mother and daughter was greatly satisfied.
For the servants of Princess Mansion, Mrs. Wang was a little nervous when receiving her. Mrs. Qian saw it, and was very considerate to help round the field with a lively atmosphere.
After a few words of greeting, the mother of the princess mansion asked: “Mrs. Wang, I don’t know if Miss Ye is here. My princess wants to invite her to the Lantern Festival on the sixth day of the first lunar month. I’m here to send posts.”
As soon as the words came out, everyone in the room breathed tightly.
Mrs. Wang stabilized her mind and said with a smile: "That girl Yueying is taking care of her grandmother. Sister, wait a minute, I'll send someone to call Yueying over."
While speaking, he looked directly at the Phnom Penh invitation in the hands of the mother.
The meaning of is self-evident, I just want the mother to send her the invitation.
It’s a pity that Ye Yueying didn’t go to the banquet last time. The mother of the princess mansion didn’t plan to give the invitation to Mrs. Wang at all. She was going to hand it over to Ye Yueying later, so she calmly picked up the tea and drank it. .
Looking at this scene, Madam Qian couldn't help but frowned.
Soon, Ye Yueying came over.
When grandma saw her, she did not have the carelessness of seeing Mrs. Wang, she quickly got up and saluted: "The slave girl pleased her, and the girl is well."
Looking at the different treatment of the servants of the princess mansion, Mrs. Qian suddenly felt a little bit in her heart. Thinking of the meeting ceremony she had given before, she felt extremely regretful in her heart.
Ye Yueying replied decently: "Grandma is polite."
The mother handed the invitation note with both hands: "My princess specifically confessed that the slave and maid must be delivered to the girl by hand. The last time the girl failed to go to Yan's house to see the plum blossoms, many people were extremely sorry. Can't go wrong."
Sure enough, she didn’t guess wrong, the mother who came with the New Year gift before is really from the palace!
Ye Yueying reached out and took the post: "Yueying must attend on time."
Grandma once again blessed her body: "The invitation has been sent, and the slave maid left, and waited for the girl to drive on the sixth day of the first lunar month."
Ye Yueying nodded, also only sending people to the gate of the courtyard, and then he was about to turn back to the old lady's courtyard.
Seeing that she was leaving, Madam Qian immediately stepped forward to stop the person: "Miss Ye"
Ye Yueying frowned and took two steps back: "What does Madam Qian mean?"
Mrs. Qian smiled and said, "Miss Ye, you are going to the princess mansion for a banquet."
Ye Yueying didn’t wait for Madam Qian to finish, so she interrupted her: "This matter has nothing to do with Madam Qian."
Looking at Ye Yueying’s indifferent attitude, Miss Qian quit, she immediately stood up and said: "Why are you doing this? My mother gave you a meeting gift just now?"
Ye Yueying frowned: "Miss Qian means you want to take back the meeting ceremony?" Before Madam Qian and Miss Qian could speak, Ye Yueying took the pair of pearl earrings from Xuehua.
"It just so happens that I don't like to accept things from outsiders very much. If you want to take it back, then you can take it back." After speaking, he put it in Girl Qian's hands without any explanation.
Looking at the earrings in her hand, Miss Qian said anxiously: "I didn't mean that."
"whatever!"
Ye Yueying knew what the mother and daughter were fighting for, and was too lazy to entangle this kind of unrelated personnel, so she was about to leave.
Mrs. Qian turned to Mrs. Wang for help.
Mrs. Wang said: "Yueying, Mrs. Qian is a guest. What is your attitude?"
Perhaps she is used to scolding, and now she is asking Ye Yueying, Mrs. Wang still poses such an elder's posture.
Ye Yueying turned her head and looked at Mrs. Wang: "Auntie, they are your guests, not mine." Without saying more, she left directly.
Looking at Ye Yueying who was walking away, Mrs. Wang was very angry, and Mrs. Qian had a gloomy face.
Wrong decision, the master’s message is wrong. The Yan family is not in contact with the Wang family, but with the cousin who lives in the Wang family!
Madam Qian looked at Mrs. Wang, who was still complaining a little annoyed. Mrs. Wang certainly didn’t have a master to tell the truth. Otherwise, the master wouldn’t have made such a big mistake. Watch girl take it to heart.
Two days later, Mrs. Qian came to Wang's house every day, wanting to see Ye Yueying and persuading her to take her daughter to the Princess's Mansion, but unfortunately she didn't even meet her.
On the afternoon of the fifth day of the day, Lord Qian saw that his wife hadn't done it yet, so he had to go to the house to find Master Wang.
Master Wang is having a headache at the moment. The white-eyed wolf of his niece climbed Gao Zhi, and even the two cousins are not willing to take it. Now he is thinking about it.
Seeing Lord Qian, I was very disappointed by Ye Yueying.
The more Master Qian listened, the deeper his heart became. The relationship between people is mutual. Master Wang is so dissatisfied with Miss Ye. It can be inferred that Miss Ye must have little affection for the Wang family.
Hey, is the opportunity at hand about to fly like this?
"Brother Wang, the banquet in the princess mansion is rare. It is related to the future of the children. In my humble opinion, you might as well lower your head first. Miss Ye is a junior and a girl again. Maybe she agrees once she feels soft?"
Master Wang shook his head: "Brother Qian, don't you know, my niece is cold."
Master Qian tried to persuade him a few more words, but to no avail.
Master Wang holds himself as an elder, how can he allow himself to be inferior to the younger generation?
"I don't believe it anymore, I can't care about a girl anymore." Master Wang consciously lost face in front of his friends, and immediately went to the old lady's yard with a fierce anger.
Ye Yueying knew that her uncle and aunt would not stop, she didn’t feel surprised to see Master Wang walk into her house with an angry face.
Master Wang didn’t talk nonsense, and said directly in a commanding tone: “Tomorrow the banquet in the princess mansion, you must bring your two cousins and the money girl.”
Ye Yueying looked at her uncle lightly: "What if I don't?"
Master Wang's expression sank: "If you dare to agree, don't enter the door of my Wang's house in the future."
Ye Yueying was silent.
Master Wang saw him, he raised his eyebrows, and a successful smile flashed across his eyes. An orphan girl could turn the sky upside down.
Ye Yueying: "Uncle, don't you have any affection for me? Even for mother's sake."
Master Wang's expression stagnated: "As long as you are obedient, your uncle's house will remain yours."
Ye Yueying's expression of self-deprecating appeared on her face, and then her face became cold: "Uncle, I can take two cousins, but Miss Qian can't." Seeing that Master Wang was still talking, she interrupted directly, "Uncle, there is nothing wrong with this. Room to speak."
Master Wang frowned, looking at Ye Yueying's indispensable face, after thinking about it, he still compromised. Taisun hasn't seen him yet, so let this girl go wild for two days.
As Master Wang turned around, Ye Yueying spoke again: "Uncle, the Ye family was destroyed, and I am grateful for you to take me in, but I am finished with this gratitude."
Master Wang frowned and turned back, and immediately met Ye Yueying's sad and unhappy gaze. This gaze made him very uncomfortable, and he ignored it and flung his sleeves and left.
Hmph, I don’t know how high the earth is. Now in this world, she only has their relatives. Is it possible that she still wants to break ties with them?
Three shifts together!
