Chapter 60 Tricky Things

Thinking about it, she said tactfully: "Mother, I know that you want me to organize this family banquet because you want me to learn from experience, but I'm new here and I'm not familiar with the affairs of the mansion.

The second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law have rich experience, let the second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law handle it together. If the two sister-in-laws don't think I'm in the way, I will learn from the side. "

Sure enough, hearing what she said, both Wang and Qin felt very comfortable.

"Ninth brother and sister are too humble, you are so smart, there is nothing you can't learn." The two also looked sincere.

The old lady paused, looked at Tao Yao appreciatively, and changed her words: "It's just that I lacked consideration, Yaoyao has never organized a family banquet, so it's really inappropriate for you to take over all of a sudden.

Second daughter-in-law, third daughter-in-law, after all, you have been here for so long, and you must be more experienced than Yaoyao in organizing family banquets.

This time the eldest daughter-in-law is confused, she repented in the ancestral hall, let the two of you handle the family banquet together, Yaoyao is fine if she is idle, just follow you and learn some experience from the side. "

"Yes, my daughter-in-law will definitely arrange the family banquet properly." Wang and Qin replied in unison.

……

The family banquet in the mansion has been run by Mrs. Lin for so many years, and the people who work under him are naturally promoted by Mrs. Lin, and they are members of Mrs. Lin.

This time, there was a sudden change of people, and the people working underneath were not convinced, and all kinds of dodging, laziness, and slowing down the progress.

If the person hosting the family banquet is soft-tempered, this family banquet will definitely be a mess.

It's a pity that neither the Wang family nor the Qin family are soft persimmons. For servants who refuse to obey, they don't even need to beat them, and they are directly discarded.

Although the re-appointed servants were not familiar with the process, they did things carefully and carefully, and after a day, the process was cleared up.

On the second day, everyone performed their duties and followed the instructions in an orderly manner.

Both the Wang family and the Qin family have personally looked at the ingredients for the family banquet, as small as the bowls and dishes, and replaced them if they were not suitable.

These are still trivial matters, the most difficult thing is the theater troupe invited at the family banquet.

The head of the family, Hua Dan, is an actor that the old lady likes, but this actor suddenly fell ill and couldn't come temporarily.

Because the old lady likes to listen to operas, so every family banquet, the opera troupe will be invited to sing.

But this time, by such a coincidence, Hua Dan fell ill...

Wang and Qin sent people to invite them several times, but they failed.

At this time, even Tao Yao, who was called learning by the side but was actually fishing, felt that the matter was too coincidental.

Seeing the helpless look of the two sisters-in-law, Tao Yao thought for a while, and suggested: "I have nothing to do, so I will go to the theater troupe to see for myself. Tomorrow's play is over, if Hua Dan really can't get up, let someone else take her place."

"No, the Zhao family's troupe has been invited to the family banquets these years. The head of the family Huadan sings well, and the old lady likes to listen to him sing operas very much.

If someone else is asked to sing, the old lady may not like it.And tomorrow is the family banquet, so it's too hasty for a while, and we can't find a suitable team to sing. " Wang frowned.

"Can you sing in particular? Then I'll go and see." Tao Yao said thoughtfully, afraid that some people would be praised too much and forget who they are.

"Ninth Aunt, I'll go with you." At this moment, Lu Hao suddenly got out from the side and said excitedly.

Qin Shi reached out to grab his ears, but he hid behind Tao Yao like a loach, "Mother, you have to correct the problem of picking people's ears, and let the second and ninth aunts see the joke later. "

Qin Shi was laughed angrily by him, "Are you still afraid of being laughed at?"

"I'm not afraid." Lu Hao shook his head, "I'm worried that you will be laughed at."

Qin: "..."

Tao Yao and Wang couldn't help laughing.

"In the mansion, let the two sisters-in-law take care of it. Xiaohao and I will go to the theater troupe to see." Tao Yao said.

Qin and Wang had no choice but to agree.

Tao Yao took Lu Hao's hand, got into the carriage, and set off for Zhao's class.

Lu Hao sat aside, shaking his calf, and said old-fashionedly: "Aunt Nine, I have met that Huadan Boss Zhao, and my grandmother likes him to sing operas very much. Good friend, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to call you sick this time."

Tao Yao didn't panic at all when she heard the words.

Boss Zhao didn't get sick early or late, but after Lin's accident, he fell ill.

Boss Zhao probably had close contacts with Mrs. Lin, after all, the troupe of Zhao's family was invited for every family banquet.

Now that they heard that the host of the family banquet had changed, they deliberately said that they would not be sick, fearing that they deliberately wanted to make the family banquet poor and make the person responsible for the family banquet take the blame.

The old lady likes to listen to him sing operas, if this family banquet fails to invite him to sing, the old lady must feel disappointed, and she will also feel that Wang and Qin are not doing well.

This Boss Zhao has obviously been praised for too long, and he thought it would be impossible without him.

"It doesn't matter, I have my own coup." Thinking of this, Tao Yao made a trick on purpose.

It was already afternoon when we arrived at Zhaojiaban
The courtyard door of Zhao's class was closed tightly, and Dong'er knocked on it for a while before opening the door from the inside.

A short and fat man came out yawning, squinting his eyes, and said impatiently, "what's the matter, girl? Our theater troupe doesn't sing today. If you want to watch a show, you can go Go elsewhere."

Dong'er glanced into the yard, pretending to be surprised and said, "Why don't you sing? I don't think your theater troupe is also accepting outside plays today?"

The man said impatiently: "The head of our family doesn't want to sing, is it okay? Go, go, don't bother me here."

"It turns out that you guys don't want to sing." Dong'er suddenly realized.

The man immediately said with a high-spirited look: "Why don't you want to sing? Our Zhao family class is in the capital, and our name is very famous. How many high-ranking nobles came to invite us with money? Our head is not happy, so we don't sing if we don't want to sing." gone."

Dong'er heard the words, turned her head suddenly, and said to Tao Yao who was following behind: "Mrs. Guogong, I don't seem to be sick, I just don't want to sing."

She deliberately raised her voice.

Tao Yao had already heard the conversation between the two, hooked the corners of her lips, and raised her voice in the same way: "Since he doesn't want to sing for our Duke's mansion, then we won't bother you, and don't look for Zhao's class in the future. I think this is not the only one in the capital who can sing opera.

By the way, what drama does our old lady like to listen to? "

"The play that the old lady is used to listening to is The Legend of the White Snake." Dong'er replied.

"Understood, then I'll switch to the Legend of the Green Snake from now on." Tao Yao said, "Let's go."

Hearing this, the short and fat man knew Tao Yao's identity, his complexion changed, he hurried in and invited a person in charge to come out.

When Tao Yao was about to board the carriage, the person in charge finally caught up.

"You...are Mrs. Lu Guogong?" The person in charge asked cautiously.

"Exactly, why, you recognize me?" Tao Yao pretended to be surprised.

The person in charge quickly said: "I have never seen the jade face of the Duke's wife before, so I don't know that you are here, and I am far away from welcoming you, please forgive me."

"No need, we won't be able to see each other in the future, so let's just pretend I didn't come today." Tao Yao's tone was flat, but she deliberately showed that she was suppressing her anger.

The man's face changed when he heard the words, the reason why Zhao's class was able to gain a foothold in the capital was because of the family banquet of Duke Lu's mansion, they would be invited to sing opera every time.

After a long time, the news spread, and other famous nobles would also come to invite them to perform in the mansion.

Over the past year, their Zhao's class has continued to do business, relying on these, is enough to gain a foothold in the capital.

This time, it was heard that the people in charge of the family banquet in Duke Lu's mansion had changed, and when the head of the family heard the news, they deliberately claimed that they were sick.

I thought that the people from Duke Lu's mansion would be in a hurry and would come to invite them with generous gifts, but they didn't expect that the person who came was the Duke's wife.

And it seems that Mrs. Guo has a temper, so she immediately wants to change the theater troupe.

If we replace them...

that……
