The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 656 Celebration Banquet ([-])

The first thing that Su Yunduo faced after taking over the leadership of the central government was the steady and excessive celebration banquet of the Duke of Zhen Guo.

This was the first banquet hosted by Su Yunduo after marrying into the Duke's Mansion. It was the first time in his life that it was of such a large scale and high standard.

Although there are precedents for banquets held in mansions like the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, this is Su Yunduo's first banquet after taking over Zhongshou.

In order to hold this banquet well, Su Yunduo racked his brains to add a lot of color to the banquet.

An's did not directly act as the shopkeeper, she patiently advised Su Yunduo and urged several daughter-in-laws to cooperate with Su Yunduo.

With An Shi watching, the aunts were very cooperative.

On the contrary, there were two women in charge who procrastinated because of their old ways of doing things. Unexpectedly, Su Yunduo stopped their posts without saying a word, and let the two women around him step up first.

As soon as Su Yunduo took over the palm of the hand, he asked his housekeeper to take over the job of the housekeeper's wife, and instantly became the hottest gossip in the house. Almost everywhere Su Yunduo went, someone secretly pointed at her.

Su Yunduo was calm, and the two poor women were also very calm. Although there was a lot of resistance in doing things, they were not obviously restrained, they did what they wanted, and even dealt with the two women who secretly opposed them. maidservant.

Those two housewives who were taken over by Su Yunduo's housewives, apart from secretly instigating people to fight against Su Yunduo's two housewives, also directly made trouble in front of An.

An shi pushed Su Yunduo to the middle position, but how could he allow the two servant girls to manipulate Su Yunduo.

Even if these two women in charge are old people in the mansion for many years, and their men have made great contributions to the government of the town, Anshi will not be merciful. Wipe out all the errands on his mother-in-law and let them go to their respective homes.

These two wives really panicked now, they are both sons of the family of the Duke of Zhen, once they lose their errands, they will naturally have no monthly rules, the woman in charge of the Duke of Zhen has two or two monthly rules , not to mention that they were originally in charge of fat jobs.

It's just that no matter how much they kowtowed and begged, it was useless. An's made up his mind to kill chickens and monkeys, so how could he spare them?

An's treatment of these two wives really played a role in scaring the chickens and monkeys. Since then, the servants in the mansion no longer dare to despise Su Yunduo. The affairs in the mansion that were not smooth at first suddenly became smoother. The servants took their own responsibilities, and the affairs of the inner courtyard of the Zhen Guogong Mansion seemed to be orderly.

On the day of the banquet, there was a steady flow of people and vehicles in front of the Zhenguo Mansion, but it was well organized. The servants dressed in the uniform of the Zhenguo Mansion walked through the flow of people, or directed the vehicles and horses to rely on them, or led the guests into the mansion.

The male guests will be welcomed into the mansion by Lu Da, the new prince of the town, who is in good spirits, and Lu Jinkang, the new heir, or lead by a few older princes in the mansion, or led by the proud stewards of the mansion, to visit the old town in the main hall of the front yard. State Duke Lu Mingda.

The carriages of the female guests were taken to the side door, and they directly entered the Zhen Guogong's mansion from the side door to the second door. Xiao Xu and Su Yunduo were guarding the second door to welcome the distinguished guests.

Finally, there is an order on her body, and it is also the order of Mrs. Yipin. It is rare for Xiao Xu today to not part with Su Yunduo. The "mother-in-law and daughter-in-law" cooperated to welcome the guests into the Zhenghe Hall one by one.

The first female guests who were welcomed to the second gate were from Su Yunduo's family, and there were two carriages. Su Yunduo saw the emblem of the Su clan at first glance, and went up excitedly before the carriage stopped.

Today, not only Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Ning came to congratulate Dongmingfang, but also Mrs. Shi, the wife of the patriarch.

As soon as Ning got out of the carriage, his eyes were glued to the face of Su Yunduo who was helping the old lady Lu get off the carriage.

Seeing Su Yunduo's ruddy face and bright smile, Ning was obviously relieved.

Ever since she heard that Su Yunduo had taken over the middle office of the Duke of Zhen, Ning had been worried, and now she felt a little relieved.

Su Yunduo helped Mrs. Lu get out of the car, and greeted Mrs. Shi, then turned around and looked at Su Zerui, who was standing next to Mrs. Ning and stared at her with a smile, jokingly said, "Brother Rui, don't you recognize your sister? "

Su Zerui condemned Su Yunduo with red eyes, "It's agreed that as long as Brother Rui is obedient, my sister will come home soon, but my sister hasn't come home for so long, does it mean that my sister doesn't like it when she has a brother-in-law?" Bro Rui!"

Su Yunduo quickly squatted down and picked up Su Zerui, and kissed him hard on his little face: "Our brother Rui is so obedient and cute, how could my sister not like brother Rui? It's just that my sister is too busy recently to take out Come on now, after my sister has been busy for a while, I will definitely go back to see Brother Rui. How about, Brother Rui stay and stay with sister today for a few days?"

Su Zerui's eyes lit up, and he hugged Su Yunduo's stomach tightly with both hands, and was about to say yes, but was interrupted by Ning's first: "Brother Rui, come down quickly, see that your sister's clothes are all crumpled!"

Su Zerui's bright eyes dimmed suddenly, but he got off Su Yunduo obediently, and bowed to Xiao Xu under Ning's reminder.

Maybe it's because he's in a good mood, or maybe it's because Mrs. Lu is staring in front of her. Today's Xiao Xu is very face-saving, and it's rare to praise Su Zerui kindly.

At this time, another carriage came towards the second gate, Su Yunduo hurriedly asked Zisu beside him to guide the old lady Lu and her party to Zhenghe Hall, while he pulled his slightly wrinkled front to welcome her together with Mrs. Xu.

This time it was the Xu family who came, because of the incident of the newlyweds, the Xu family naturally disliked Su Yunduo, Su Yunduo simply didn't move forward, just stood aside with a smile.

This time the Xu family still brought the girl from that day together, even though the girl looked at Su Yunduo one by one, Su Yunduo didn't seem to notice anything, she didn't even look at her.

It happened that the carriage arrived again, and Su Yunduo took Ziyue to meet him, but unexpectedly, the Xu family was dissatisfied, and a strange voice came from behind: "How do you teach your daughter-in-law? Speaking of coming up to help, there is not even a gift?!"

It sounded like he was reprimanding Xiao Xu, but he was actually blaming Su Yunduo for his lack of etiquette and filial piety.

It's a pity that Su Yunduo's leaving footsteps did not fluctuate at all, and he steadily faced the oncoming car, and greeted him down with a smile.

The new guests are Mrs. Yu Dashi and his eldest granddaughter Yu Fengjiao.

Although Mrs. Yu had just arrived, she heard the Xu family's voice. She had a good relationship with Mrs. Lu and An's, so she knew that the Xu family was not close to Lu Jinkang's natal family.

As for the person who spoke just now, Mrs. Yu also recognized that it was the eldest wife of the Xu family.

Mrs. Yu was Quan Fu's wife when Su Yunduo got married, and she had a good impression of Su Yunduo. Now that the Xu family had smeared Su Yunduo, she couldn't help frowning, and gave Su Yunduo a slightly worried look.

Su Yunduo returned a bright smile with a calm face, Madam Yu couldn't help laughing, and introduced her granddaughter to Su Yunduo.

When the Xu family saw that it was Mrs. Yu, they knew that it was not a good time to find fault with Su Yunduo, so they followed Xiao Xu's mother to the Zhenghe hall embarrassingly.
