The lady may not be human

When Dong Nuan came back, he started to pack up the county office, and by the way, he started to prepare all the things for the New Year.

It must be too late for tailoring, but fortunately, Dong Nuan brought a lot of clothes from the capital.

There are also many topless ones, and the popular fancy styles in the capital are still classics, and they should not be considered outdated within three to five years.

Therefore, just pick a ready-made winter warmer and put it on.

She hasn't grown much taller this year, and those clothes are suitable.

Can't cut clothes, but other things have to be prepared.

As soon as they heard that Dongnuan had returned to the county, all the rich ladies in the county finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Are you finally ready to post?
The wives of the four rich households are the first to post.

Seeing that these four households have submitted, the other few households are relatively wealthy, but they are not merchants, and the wives of wealthy households who only farm have also submitted posts.

In less than a day after Dong Nuan came back, he received eight posts.

At first glance, they are all merchants and wives of wealthy households such as Jing County residents. Dongnuan knows that the entertainment of favors has come.

She didn't refuse either. She originally came back early for these things.

Just because they didn't have the time and energy before, doesn't mean they don't need these social interactions.

Therefore, Dong Nuan has agreed to everything, and set a time for a banquet at the county government office tomorrow.

Tomorrow's banquet, today needs to sort out the corresponding menu and the like.

Shi Zhu is already in charge of Huiguang Village, so she will definitely not be able to come back for the time being.

Therefore, Dong Nuan brought another maid by her side, who used to be a rough cleaning maid who worked as a sweeper in the princess's mansion, and this time she also came along.

Said that the whole family is gone, no matter where you go.

The maid's name is Lianye, she is only 14 years old this year, she is not tall, she looks cute and cute, but she is still smart.

Therefore, Dong Nuan brought her closer.

Lianye is young and has never done this kind of work. She used to sweep and do rough work in front of others. When she first took on the big task, she was a little nervous.

Fortunately, I used to be with Shizhu and Qingzhu, and I have seen how the sisters in charge work.

So, it is not too difficult to get started now.

"How is the menu preparation in the kitchen?" Dong Nuan asked Lian Ye casually while looking at the account book.

Naturally, Lianye came here when she was ready. After listening to Dong Nuan's question, she began to read the menu to Dong Nuan.

The ones who came with Dong Nuan were also the former cooks of the princess's mansion. There were two of them in total. They were all alone and had no worries, so it didn't matter where they went.

They have a lot of recipes provided by Dongnuan in the past, so they don't have to worry about cooking now.

Of course, the main reason is that there are still too few opportunities for them to play.

Before, they had been cooking big pot meals in Huiguang Village.

Cooks like them are so good at cooking, cooking a big pot of rice...

Fortunately, Dong Nuan came back and brought them back.

Now the big pot rice in Huiguang Village is made by two village women who are not bad at cooking.

"The green vegetables and fresh bamboo shoots I brought back, let the cook cook together." Dong Nuan thought for a while, and then added.

The cook who can follow Dong Nuan is not small, and Dong Nuan doesn't need to worry about many dishes, and now it's just a few words.

The things in the house can be prepared in advance, and they will definitely be delivered before tonight.

Some fresh vegetables still need to wait until tomorrow morning.

The next day, it was a nice sunny day.

It was cloudy yesterday, but Dong Nuan was worried that it would rain today.

However, it didn't. It turned sunny, which made her mood better.

Although the county office is not big, it is still possible to have a banquet hall where you can eat.

After all, most of the staff have already gone to Huiguang Village and lived in the staff dormitory. They don't need to live in the county office anymore, and the space available to them has increased.

Dongnuan woke up early in the morning and started tidying up. Today's dress is also specially selected. She is wearing a begonia red gradient color. The closer to the horse face skirt, the darker the begonia red color is. There is also a picture of a butterfly playing with a begonia on it. Look at it. The clothes are very delicate and charming, but steady.

Dongnuan didn't wear all the ruby ​​on the head, after all, the neck couldn't bear it, so I picked out a few pieces, still shining brightly, looking very luxurious.

As soon as the time passed, the wives of rich households came to the door one after another.

Naturally, they didn't come empty-handed. They were originally giving gifts during the New Year's Eve, looking for an excuse to visit for dinner.

Therefore, the gifts are not light, but they are all packed in brocade boxes, and neither of them can tell what gift the other party gave.

However, the relatively well-connected rich households will definitely communicate with each other.

These will have to wait until they leave, and we will talk about it at the time of statistics at night.

Now all it takes is a polite reception.

Dongnuan's status is different from theirs, even if he is the master, he doesn't need to greet the guests in person.

It's not considered rude to send Lian Ye, the newly-promoted maidservant, to receive her.

The rich ladies come in quickly.

The difference between a country gentleman in the field and a wealthy businessman's wife can be distinguished immediately from the way they dress.

No matter how low-key the rich businessmen's wives are, they still wear gold and silver.

It's not that they intend to show off, but because...

They are not short of money, and there are comparisons between them. You wear less, and I wear cheaper. Looking back, I may not know how to secretly laugh at them.

Therefore, no matter how low-key you have to wear it.

As for the country gentry and wives, they dress relatively more elegantly, and their bodies lack the smell of copper.

Dong Nuan didn't attend the table for the time being, and was still observing secretly from behind.

The eight wealthy wives who came here today have already read the information about themselves and each other's family in advance.

Last night, a make-up class.

The information was checked by Shi Zhu before, but it was useless before, but now it is useful.

When Dongnuan was secretly observing, several rich wives were also quite nervous.

Although it is said that you have entered the table, you must be more cautious in your behavior.

Dongnuan's identity is not only the magistrate's wife, she also has the title of princess, not the kind with a good name, she also has a fiefdom!
Therefore, they did not dare to underestimate it at all, and their behavior naturally became tense.

At this moment, even though Dong Nuan hadn't attended the banquet, there were not many maidservants in the banquet, but they didn't dare to speak loudly, at most the two neighboring rich wives were talking in a low voice.

Among the wealthy businessmen's wives, Mrs. Zhang is vaguely headed, while among the country gentry's wives, Mrs. Wu is vaguely headed.

Although it cannot be said that there is a clear distinction between the two factions, they are similar.

However, the conflicts between each other are not deep, and everyone is concerned about face, so occasionally they will nod politely and say a few words.

Dongnuan observed secretly for a while, then circled around and went to the front, ready to sit.
