    The Yan family arrived in Xingzhou for the first time and were not familiar with the place. Whether it was to allow Yan Zhigao to carry out his work smoothly or for the Yan family to gain a foothold in Xingzhou, it was inevitable to hold a banquet and entertain all parties.

    The banquet was the first time that the Yan family showed their face in Xingzhou City, and it was of great significance, so everyone in the Yan family was prepared. Even Mrs. Yan participated in the preparation of the dishes on the day of the banquet.

    Daohuaxuan.

    Daohua stood in front of the flower shed, clasping her chin with her hands and frowning slightly, as if she was thinking about something.

    Pingtong came over with the newly made dress, happened to see this scene, and immediately smiled and said: "What problem did the big girl encounter?"

    When Daohua saw it was Pingtong, she sighed like a young adult: "Isn't there a banquet going to be held? I'm thinking, how should I entertain the ladies who are here on the day of the banquet?"

    There is a division of labor in the Yan family. In the backyard, my mother and second aunt are responsible for entertaining the ladies of each family, and third aunt is responsible for taking care of the kitchen, and she is responsible for the young ladies who come over.

    As for the outer courtyard, the adults will be taken care of by cheap father, and her elder brother will be responsible for receiving the young masters who come.

    Pingtong smiled and asked, "Does the eldest lady have an idea?"

    Seeing Pingtong¡¯s smiling face, Daohua turned her eyes and said, ¡°Please give me some advice from Sister Pingtong!¡±

    Pingtong smiled and said, "How can I, my slave, give you any advice on how to teach the eldest girl?" Seeing Daohua's face fall, she smiled again, "However, Madam asked me to come over and talk to the eldest lady about the banquets held by each family.  What will the lady do?"

    Daohua¡¯s eyes lit up and she immediately pulled Pingtong into the house: ¡°Sister, please tell me what the ladies will do during the banquet.¡±

    Pingtong first handed the dress to Wang Maner, and then said with a smile: "Actually, during the banquet, the young ladies had limited things to do. They just enjoyed flowers, drank tea, chatted, and recited poems and so on."

    "Huh? That's all!" Daohua was disappointed.

    Pingtong nodded: "Rich families attach great importance to the reputation of women in the boudoir. Everyone will be very reserved when they go out to be guests. Therefore, girls don't need to be nervous. Just treat each other with courtesy on the day of the banquet."

    Mrs. Li was worried that her daughter would be nervous about doing something for the first time, so she asked Pingtong to come over to comfort Daohua.

    After a while, Pingtong left. Seeing Daohua, Wang Maner still looked sad and asked: "Girl, didn't Madam say that it's enough to treat each other with courtesy? What are you worried about?"

    Daohua sighed: "It can't be that simple."

    Where there are many women, right and wrong are inevitable. Even if it is just a group of teenage girls, she would not dare to be careless in the slightest.

    Fortunately, they live in a government office and there is no rockery or pond. Otherwise, her nerves would have been stretched from morning to night on the day of the banquet.

    "Flower viewing is no longer possible." She has already planted the climbing rose, and she has also planted many flowers in the flower bed, but it is still a little early for them to bloom.

    "You can have tea." But you can't drink tea all day long!

    "Recite a poem to make a poem" Daohua shook her head. In her past and present life, she had no ability to compose poems. Even if she plagiarized other people's poems, she didn't remember a few lines in her mind. She couldn't speak to a group of little girls.  Let's talk about the moonlight in front of the bed.

    Daohua¡¯s face wrinkled: ¡°I have to find something to do.¡± If a group of little girls get together during their free time, there will definitely be a few noisy ones. When trouble occurs, her master¡¯s face will not look good.

    After thinking about it, Daohua ran to find her third uncle Yan Zhiqiang.

    In the blink of an eye, the day of the banquet has arrived.

    Early in the morning, everyone in the Yan family got up, packed up, and then went about their own business.

    At around 6 o'clock, people began to arrive one after another.

    Daohua followed Mrs. Li, smiling and welcoming the ladies from each family in the door.

    Mrs. Li first took the ladies from various families to visit Mrs. Yan, and then she didn¡¯t stay long before taking her to the main courtyard to talk.

    Old Mrs. Yan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw someone leaving. She had no choice but to do it. She was an old peasant woman, and she really couldn't find anything in common with a group of official ladies.

    "The eldest daughter-in-law is so attentive!" At this time, he did not forget to take care of her feelings.

    Mrs. Yan thought of Daohua and said to Sun Ma: "That girl Daohua has seen this kind of banquet for the first time, and she is the host. Go and have a look. If she wants to help, you can stay there."  .¡±

    She is senior and older, so she can just say a few words to someone she meets, but as the Yan eldest daughter, Daohua has to take care of the young ladies she sees.We are bound to have to be busy.

    The main courtyard.

    In the living room, several ladies in gorgeous clothes were drinking tea and chatting. Judging from the way they talked and laughed freely, it was obvious that they had known each other early in the morning.

    As they started, several little girls gathered together, chattering and laughing.  Not far away, Yan Yihuan, Yan Yishuang, and Yan Yile were sitting alone, looking a little embarrassed, as if they couldn't get into the conversation of this group of girls.

    When Daohua and Mrs. Li came in with the wife and young lady of the Tongpan family, they saw this scene.

    Mrs. Li glanced at Daohua and looked a little worried. Among the girls who came today was the granddaughter of the former chief minister of the cabinet. I heard that she had a bad temper. She was worried that her daughter wouldn't be able to cope with it.

    Daohua noticed Mrs. Li's gaze, smiled, pulled the young lady from the Tongpan family and walked over.

    As soon as Mrs. Li saw Daohua passing by, she started shouting with the girls and sisters from each family. She breathed a sigh of relief, and then she took Mrs. Tongpan to talk to the ladies who came before.

    Zhou Jingwan, the youngest daughter of the head of the Zhou family of the Xingzhou Zhongding family, and the favorite granddaughter of former cabinet minister Zhou Zhengyao, is inevitably arrogant because of being favored. At this moment, facing Daohua, her master, she looked arrogant.

    The Zhou family had inquired about the situation of the Yan family early in the morning and knew that the eldest daughter of the Yan family had grown up in the countryside.

    "Originally, Zhou Jingwan thought that the eldest daughter of the Yan family must be vulgar in appearance, but after seeing her, she realized that her appearance and bearing were not inferior to other girls. If her clothes weren't simpler and more ordinary, she could almost catch up with the noble daughters of the capital.

    Zhou Jingwan took a look at Daohua's rosy and fair face, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable when she thought of her dull complexion. She thought for a while and said, "Miss Yan, it's boring to have nothing to do, so why don't we all join in the poetry reading together?"

    ¡°Looks are innate, but knowledge is acquired. She doesn¡¯t believe that a person who grew up in the countryside can recite poems and compose poems.

    Daohua hasn¡¯t spoken here yet. Yan Yishuang, who was sitting aside and couldn¡¯t get a word in, immediately agreed: ¡°This is good. Let¡¯s write poems together. It not only kills the time, but also helps us get to know each other as quickly as possible.¡±

    As soon as these words came out, Zhou Jingwan and other little girls looked at Yan Yishuang one after another, with a vague look of contempt on their eyebrows.

    "snort!"

    Zhou Jingwan snorted coldly, ignored Yan Yishuang, and looked at Daohua with a sneer: "The rules of your Yan family are really good."

    In a wealthy family, there has always been a circle for the legitimate daughters and another for the concubines. If a concubine wants to enter the circle of the legitimate daughters, she must either be very good or there is no legitimate daughter in the family.

    Yan Yishuang didn't take advantage of either situation. They had ignored her before, but this person didn't have any discernment at all and insisted on getting in front of them. Such behavior was really disdainful.

    The smile on Daohua's face did not change, as if she did not understand Zhou Jingwan's words. She would not let this little girl take over the spotlight. She said with a smile: "Sisters, the main courtyard is too noisy, and there are adults watching, why don't you go to me  Let¡¯s go to the yard, so we can have more fun.¡±

    Hearing this, the little girls were a little moved.

    We are all still children, and there is no child who doesn¡¯t like to play and make trouble, but when in the presence of adults, it is inevitable that he will be restrained.

    Zhou Jingwan didn¡¯t want to stay under her mother¡¯s nose, but her attitude was not very good just now, and she couldn¡¯t save face for a while.

    Daohua looked at the expressions of the little girls and knew that they were all led by Zhou Jingwan, so she smiled and stepped forward to take her arm, waved to the others, and left the room together.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
