Ordinary clear day

Chapter 123 Socializing
Xingbao's return to the mansion to participate in the sacrificial ceremony this time actually meant repairing his image among his relatives, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to win over a few high-ranking members of the same clan. After all, now that he has a superior, he must do something.It's just that he had made a lot of trouble before, and the Jinbao brothers were very good at life, and they made the situation so smooth that almost all relatives and friends despised Xingbao's behavior.Xingbao secretly hated him, so he pretended to be an honest person, and greeted everyone, and there was no guarantee that someone would be coaxed by him, thinking that he really had some grievances.

However, Zhang Bao and Rong Bao stayed near Xingbao, and often talked with his relatives and friends, and the conversation was very close.Jin Bao also often puts on the appearance of a loving brother, caring about the second brother's family very much in many details, and "never" making it public, but someone always finds out.If someone says that Xingbao is wrong, Jinbao will help to say a few good words.After this demeanor, everyone said that he was magnanimous, and Zhang Baorongbao and Zhang Baorongbao were also good younger brothers.Even if Xingbao wanted to pretend to complain and say that the brothers deliberately suppressed him to force him to separate and live in another family, no one would believe him, and would hate him even more.Duan Xingbao was so ruthless behind his back, but he couldn't do anything about it. In the end, he had no choice but to accompany the brothers to stage this big show of brotherly respect.

And Suo Chuoluo's side was equally depressed.She purposely dressed luxuriously and returned home to show off, but none of the sisters-in-law showed any envy. Nalashi even frowned and said that she was overdressed and suspected of violating the rules.Although the daughter overwhelmed a few nieces, the gossip about Yuanning's violent temperament, meanness and ungratefulness appeared among the relatives and women for some reason. If it really spread, it might hinder her daughter's future.

Together, the husband and wife felt that it would not be a good thing to stay any longer. As soon as the ceremony was over, they packed up their things and left with their children and servants, even before the New Year was over.

Wanning was ill, but she avoided the embarrassment of meeting the second room. After they left, it might be that other people's persuasion had an effect, or she thought about it, and her body gradually recovered. There was laughter again.

After recovering from her illness, she is much more stable than before. She obediently abides by the rules that she only put on a show on the surface but actually disapproved of them.Seeing her like this, Nala was very relieved, and secretly had an idea in her heart, to make her daughter a veritable lady of the family in the next two years, not to allow her to do any of the things she shouldn't do, and to start paying attention to suitable ones Children of the family, just in case.

Apart from staying in Huaiyuan with her family, Shuning often visits Fangning and Wanning.She always had a feeling that Wanning seemed to have undergone some unsettling changes. When the sisters were talking, they would often be startled as they spoke, and occasionally there would be a stern look in their eyes, which made people shudder and escaped. The behavior is no longer there, but for some reason, she likes to ask about the situation of the princes and dignitaries in Beijing, even her grandfather's Tong family.Shu Ning herself was not too clear about it, she only told Wan Ning what she knew, and then frowned with Fang Ning, seeing Wan Ning biting her fingers and lowering her head to calculate.

In the first month, there are several mansions that have been intersected with the Earl's Mansion for generations, and the female family members want to visit one after another.Jinbao and Nala's family attached great importance to it, and they ordered the subordinates to prepare all their belongings early on, and also told the three and four families not to go out during those few days.

It turns out that these mansions have titles ranging from Duke of the State to Lieutenant Yunqi (the fifth grade), and they have all been friends with the Earl's mansion since Jinbao's grandfather's generation, which can be described as a family friendship.When the old earl Halzi was young, he survived thanks to the help of those uncles.It's an old friendship of decades.Although each family has its own good luck, some of them have prospered, and some have gradually declined, but because of the friendship of the older generation, they are still very close on the surface.When the two old people passed away, their families came to worship on the first day.

When Fang Ning lost the election, the Nala clan also made plans for these mansions, but unfortunately, among the only three young masters of the right age, two of them were descendants of the original family, and she really had no face to bring it up; Those whose family background has been ruined say that they are already engaged, and there is nothing they can do to help them.

When the guests came to the door, the three wives and the two grandmothers were all accompanying them, talking and laughing, there was no silence, tea and snacks, cushion heaters, maids and servants, they were all very thoughtful, making people feel at home.

Since they are women's relatives, of course it is necessary to pull all the ladies out to show off, secretly comparing other people's daughters with their own.Wanning is very familiar with these wives, grandmas, and young ladies, and has regained a lot of confidence from their praises. It seems that she has really grown up, and she is not rude at all, which makes her mother Nalashi very satisfied.

Shu Ning is quite satisfactory, neither inferior to others, nor particularly outstanding, but she got a "dignified and generous" comment, and the focus is entirely on Wan Ning.Tong Shi secretly winked at her daughter over and over again, asking her to express herself a little bit, but Shu Ning did not act rashly.

Tong Shi privately asked Shuning why she deliberately hid her clumsiness.Shu Ning said: "What good is being in the limelight? What's more, those female family members are very close to the eldest aunt and fourth aunt. Just by looking at their affection for the second sister, you can tell who they like more. Although they are family friends , Our family has been outside for more than ten years, we are not familiar with them, and we don't know each other's temperament, so we should not make such a face?"

Tong Shi sighed, and said: "Did you hear about your second sister, so you are afraid? Actually, what is there to be afraid of? Your temperament is completely different from hers, and you will never fall into that situation. "

Shu Ning smiled faintly: "Of course I know, it's just that the second elder sister's fame was so great back then, it was the fame she gained among these relatives and friends, and my daughter was somewhat worried. As long as the family knows about her daughter's benefits, why bother to tell others? Let others make a name for yourself?"

Tong thought about it, and thought it made sense: "Now that we are in the limelight, it's better to avoid it, so as not to be implicated. Forget it, I have nothing to argue about. Now we are living a comfortable life, and the limelight will be given to you. Let someone else do it." She smiled self-deprecatingly, and stretched out her finger to point her daughter's forehead: "You girl, you have more ideas than others since you were a child, and my mother will follow you. I don't know where you have so many twists and turns in your belly." Bending around."

Shu Ning smiled flatteringly, and thumped her mother's back again.Tong Shimi enjoyed it for a while, and then asked: "Did you rub the bottle of medicine that I gave you yesterday?" Shu Ning hurriedly said, "Yes, it's really effective, and it's already much better." He rolled up his sleeves, and showed her the fingerprints that had faded into light blue.It turned out that Wanning pinched it that day. Wanning had long nails. If it wasn't for the thick clothes in winter, she would probably bleed from the pinch.Tong felt sorry for her daughter, and seeing that the medicine prescribed by the doctor had no obvious effect, she sent a letter back to her natal family to ask for a bottle of ancestral special medicine.

She said: "The second girl has no conscience. You tried to persuade her, but she pinched you like this. It's better not to get close to her in the future. This medicine is the secret recipe of your grandfather's family. You rub more, and put away the leftovers. "

Shuning smiled and Mimi responded.

Although Mrs. Tong no longer intends to make any publicity and face, but after all, she is not familiar with the situation in Beijing. Considering that she will stay in the capital for a few years, she also began to pay attention to whether there is anyone who can make friends among the visitors.Among them is a Viscount's mansion, surnamed Fucha, perhaps because of the family tradition, the female family members are all well-informed, but they don't have the lofty arrogance like the Shen family.Tong felt that the lady was quite right about her temper, so she followed the other's topic and started talking with her.After coming and going, the other party also felt that Mrs. Tong was similar to him, so he became a new friend with Mrs. Tong with three parts of enthusiasm, three parts of kindness and four parts of caution.

The two wives met once, gave each other things two or three times, and then Mrs. Tong brought her daughter to visit again, and the friendship between Sanfang and Fucha's family was settled.Thanks to the wife of the Fucha family, Tong's family got to know their in-laws again, the wife of Wu Ya's family, another family friend of the Earl's Mansion.In this way, Tong's low-key stepped into the social circle of the noble ladies in the capital.

The two mothers became friends, and Shuning, a daughter, also met Xinran, a young lady from Fucha's family.Xinran is 15 years old this year. After the audition, she was accused of marrying a child of the clan. Although the date of the marriage has not yet been determined, it is very likely that it will be in June.This lady's appearance is only delicate, with a round face, very blessed, and a slightly plump figure. She can use the word "warm" to describe her appearance. She speaks softly and has a soft temper. It seems that she will never angry.

But her gentleness is completely different from Fang Ning. Fang Ning has a weak personality and is indifferent to external things because of discouragement, but Xin Ran is a person who loves life very much and pays attention to details.Although the snacks and snacks for guests are all common varieties, she has carefully researched the place of origin and technological process of each item; the clothes, shoes and socks on her body, what materials are suitable for making objects, and what kind of incense should be used. They are all the same; when the maids clean up the suitcases and cabinets, she can also tell me how to clean up to save space and make it easier to get things; when is the best time to plant flowers in spring, and which trees are best in summer Fruits can make good snacks, which flowers and plants are suitable for making tea in autumn, and what flowers should be placed in the house in winter, she knows everything.

It was the first time for Shu Ning to see this type of young lady. The other party's attention was not on the preciousness or value of things, but on the other hand, she showed a distinctive aristocratic demeanor.Xin Ran's manners are decent and her words are gentle, but she behaves as naturally as drinking water and eating, which makes Shu Ning admire her.

The two families went back and forth one after another, and when Shuning returned to Fangshan for a few days after spending the first month in the Earl's Mansion, and then came back to the mansion again, Fucha's family sent a small plum red note.She gladly invited the three girls from the Earl's Mansion to her house to watch the newly bloomed white apricots in the garden.At the same time, she also invited her cousin, Miss Baoyao from Wu Ya's family, to accompany her.
