It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 612
Su Rui hosted this banquet just to make her sister famous. Now, when she heard all kinds of compliments, of course she would not be foolishly modest, but would happily accept them all.

On the other hand, Su Wan was surrounded by familiar ladies, who kept praising her not only for her good flower arranging, but also for her good piano skills. They all asked her how she learned to play the piano, and why she played it so well?

Su Wan's small face was full of smiles, and her small face was slightly red. This was the first time she was so happy in front of outsiders since she was first insulted by Miss Liu's family.

On the carriage back, the second wife of the Cui family glanced at Cui Qiuhe who was sitting beside her and asked, "How is it? Have you talked to Master Meng's wife and sister?"

Cui Qiuhe shook his head, "No, I just said hello when I first entered the door, but there were too many ladies who came later, so I didn't say much."

The second wife of the Cui family frowned slightly, "Your elder brother has always wanted to befriend the Meng family for the sake of our second wife, but he has never had the chance. This is also the first time our family has participated in a banquet at the Meng family. If there is a chance in the future, you You can also post to Mrs. Meng's wife and sister."

She discovered that Mrs. Meng was very fond of her younger sister, and she thought that as long as the girl can please her younger sister, then it is equivalent to having a relationship with General Meng...
Cui Qiuhe nodded, "Mother, I remember."

At this time, in the carriage of the Liu family, Liu Jiali was sitting by the door, bowing her head and pretending to be invisible, she was afraid that the aunt and sister who were in a bad mood at this time would take their anger out on her again.

Mrs. Liu glanced at the cowardly Liu Jiali, and comforted the anxious Liu Jiayu, "Jiayu, mother told you, you have to be patient, you have to be patient, why do you think you are provoking again in the Meng Mansion?"

Liu Jiayu slapped the carriage stool, "Mother, they are just mud legs, why can they wear good clothes, wear good jewelry, and play the piano well?"

Mrs. Liu sighed helplessly, "Jiayu, mother has never wanted to say it, but I have to admit that not all officials have money..."

Liu Jiayu looked confused, "Mother, what do you mean?"

Mrs. Liu straightened Liu Jiayu's hairpin gently, "Jiayu, our family only has more than 200 mu of land in Qinghe Prefecture, and one shop, while our hometown has [-] mu of land, three houses, and five rooms. shop, but the fields, real estate and house in my hometown are not worth much.”

"The annual income of those industries is less than 5000..."

Liu Jiayu asked in confusion, "Is 5000 more than two?"

Mrs. Liu sighed, and said helplessly, "Did you know that Mrs. Meng owns a five-hundred-acre Zhuangzi in Zhoucheng, and the "Zhiweixuan" hot pot restaurant, Chuanchuan shop, and "Sanwei Roushi" shop are also hers, and You know how good the business of those shops is, right?"

Liu Jiayu asked in disbelief, "Mother, what do you mean, the Meng family has more money than ours, and the annual income is also a lot?? How, how is it possible? It's just a muddy leg, how can it be so rich?"

Mrs. Liu looked at Liu Jiayu silently. She didn't believe it at first, but she learned from the master that the property of the Meng Mansion was basically under Mrs. Meng's name. And all kinds of dowries, and those were just for a younger sister.

No matter how much she loves Liu Jiayu, if she still has a few sons, when Jiayu gets married in the future, she will not spend thousands of taels of silver on the dowry...

Liu Jiali lowered her head and couldn't help showing a mocking smile. She knew a long time ago that not all the families of officials are rich. It's only a tael of silver, it's not as comfortable as those sons of merchants, and no one's monthly money is much...

After the flower arrangement banquet hosted by Su Rui, everyone knew that Meng's family had a big business, and also knew that Mrs. Meng's sisters were not so-called mud legs. Miss Jia is strong...
While listening to Xi Yu's report on the rumors outside, Su Rui fed her son egg yolk and millet porridge. After seeing him drink half a bowl, she put down the bowl and spoon, took the veil handed over by Xiaotao, and gently gave it to him. son wiping mouth staring at bowl and spoon on table.

Can't help laughing, "Little greedy cat, a few spoonfuls are enough. You just finished drinking milk, so you can't eat too much."

Meng Zongan blinked his big eyes, pointed at the bowl and spoon, "Ah, Ann, time, time."

Su Rui nodded his little nose, "Ann is right, but he ate wrongly. It's eating, not time."

Meng Zongan waved his little hand and said unwillingly, "Once! Ann, eat!"

"It's awesome, you're right, it's eating."

Su Rui hugged him and kissed him, handed her son to Mrs. Guo, and said, "Zong An has just finished eating complementary food, don't put him to sleep, take him for a walk in the yard to digest food."

Guo Shi carefully hugged Meng Zong, who was still moving around, and said, "Madam, I will remember this."

Seeing her son being carried away by Mrs. Guo, Su Rui took a sip of the tea ceremony, "Xiyu, you can tell the ladies later, so that they don't refuse all the invitations from the posts, and pick some that are pleasing to the eye. join."

Xi Yu saluted, "Yes, servant girl will go now."

Su Rui, "Yes."

Xi'er looked at the indifferent Su Rui, thought for a while and said, "Ma'am, you don't have to worry about Miss Wan'er being bullied again in the future."

Su Rui sighed, "If I stay in Zhoucheng all the time, I really don't have to worry about it. Even if they say it, they won't dare to say it positively, but if your general goes to other places in the future..."

Xi'er helped Su Rui who was about to stand up, "Ma'am, even if the general goes to other places in the future, don't be afraid, our ladies are always making progress."

Su Rui walked out and said, "Yeah, they are all improving, and Wan'er is indeed a lot more sensible, and spends time practicing the piano every day, not as loose as before."

Xi'er smiled and said, "Madam, Miss Wan'er is sensible, you can rest assured."

Su Rui thought, yes, she is a lot more sensible, Su Wan's life was so smooth before, that's why she couldn't bear to be said casually...
Soon it was the day before leaving for Yuncheng Royal Hunting Ground, Su Rui explained some family matters, looked at the three obedient Su Ying sisters sitting in front of her, and said with a worried face.

"Ying'er, why don't you go with me? I haven't seen you for a long time, and I still feel a little worried..."

Su Ying said helplessly, "Sister, I really don't want to go. I still have more than half of my favorite clothes embroidered."

Su Qiao also shook her head quickly, "Sister, I'm not going either, I still want to attend the fruit ordering meeting in our state city in September..."

Su Wan also refused, "Sister, don't worry, I will stay at home honestly, and even if I want to go out, I will report to my second and third sisters."
