Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 110
Women's banquets are usually very well served. When the dishes are served, everyone has a drink or two. Those who drink lightly only eat vegetables, and those who drink more drink more. Then everyone talks about life and discusses which girl Good-looking, whose family fell in love with it and wanted to propose marriage, whose daughter-in-law was too lazy to work, and the husband's family regretted it, etc. Of course, the person being discussed or relatives and friends must not be present.

Today is the first time the Ning family has invited guests to Mayi Town, and it is also commonly known as Liaoguodi, which is the first time to invite everyone to dinner after moving to the new home.In Sanjia Village, a piece of pancake is baked from the old house at the bottom of the Liaoguo, but it is not yet cooked. The half-cooked pancake is brought to the new home to be cooked again, and then it is used to entertain relatives and friends.Now that the Ning family has moved to the town, the pots are all newly bought, so naturally they can't bring a piece of cake, but the first time they treat guests, it's called burning the bottom of the pot.

Since we are going to a new place to burn the bottom of the pot, we will inevitably invite some unfamiliar people.Mrs. Xu introduced Mrs. Gu to Mrs. Yu, "Our two families are related, and I have always liked the second daughter of the Gu family. Later, my old man acted as a matchmaker and promised to Dunru. I don't want you and the Dunru family to be relatives again. , we are all family now.”

Yu responded with a smile, and also pointed to Ning Qing's mother-in-law, "This is our in-laws, and they are also from Mayi Town..."

Everyone talked for a while, and then they were familiar with each other. Ning Wan and Ning Qing had already fried the last few side dishes and brought them up. Mrs. Xu beckoned to her, "This child has been busy for a long time, hurry up!" Sit down and eat something!"

Ning Wan smiled and waved her hands, "Old madam eats with aunts and aunts, just call me if you need anything."

Mrs. Xu said: "There are so many delicious things on the table, there are wine and tea, what else is there to do? You just serve the table, even if you talk about the rules, you still have to eat."

Mrs. Yu also felt that the work was done, and her daughter should also sit down to eat, so she nodded and said, "Since the old lady said it, let's ask your second sister to come and eat together."

Ning Wan saw that nothing was going on in the south room, and Liu Wulang was taking care of her, so she pulled Ning Qing and sat down to eat beside Kang Yan'er.My family is not a big family, and there are only two tables for men and women, so it is impossible to divide the tables according to seniority, and it is okay for girls of my junior generation to sit next to Kang Yan'er for dinner.

I don't want to raise the door curtain at this time, a little girl in Tsing Yi helped a person in, and the person smiled and said: "Oh, I'm late!"

Ning Wan saw that she was a beautiful middle-aged woman, wearing a set of bright red satin clothes, a red velvet flower on her sideburns, and a few golden hairpins on her hair. The guests have arrived, who is this person?Get up quickly, not easy to greet, just say: "Madam, please sit on the kang."

The lady was not polite, after hearing Ning Wan's greeting, she took off her shoes and got on the kang, and sat down under Mrs. Yang.Mrs. Yang saw that Yu's three mothers were still in a daze, so she said, "This is my Yier's mother. She went back to her mother's house today. She thought she wouldn't be able to make it back, but she didn't want to arrive now."

At this time, Mrs. Yu was confused, so she asked: "Isn't Mrs. Yang's mother Yang Xiao?"

Ning Qing didn't recognize the Yang family either, so she didn't know what was going on, so she just stared blankly.

Only Ning Wan saw Mrs. Yang's embarrassing gaze and understood that Yang Yi was not born to the wife of the main house, and the new woman was Yang Yi's biological mother and aunt.

Sure enough, Mrs. Yang said: "You newcomers to Mayi Town don't know, because of the merits of having children, our sisters have always been regardless of size, and everything is the same at home. People outside call her Little Mrs. Yang."

Ordinarily, even after giving birth to a son, the concubine is still the concubine after all, there is no reason like that of the main house, and when you go to other people's house, you can't sit with the host's wife and guests.

Yu Shi and Ning Qing didn't understand, but Ning Wan understood that Mrs. Yang sat at the same table with Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Gu, and Niang at her own house. As a master, you also have responsibilities.

But now that Mrs. Xiao Yang has already sat down, it is not appropriate to call her up again, and the Ning family did not prepare a table for the concubine's room. After all, most ordinary families do not have a concubine's room, especially those from Sanjia Village. The Ning family didn't know anything about concubines at all.

Ning Wan glanced at Mrs. Xu and the wives present in embarrassment, and saw that they had different expressions, some were unhappy, and some didn't care much. The wife of the Su family even greeted Mrs. Yang with a smile. "I still wonder why you didn't come today, but you are here."

Obviously, Mrs. Yang's identity is recognized by some people, but not by others.Ning Wan can ignore what everyone thinks about Mrs. Xiao Yang, but this is the first time her family treats guests in Mayi Town, so they can't make everyone unhappy because of Mrs. Yang's arrival, and finally mess up the situation.

Ning Wan got up and went to the kitchen to add tableware to Mrs. Xiao Yang. After thinking about it quickly, she only brought in a bowl and a chopsticks. The bowls and chopsticks are also different from everyone else. They are not small blue and white bowls for entertaining guests, but white porcelain bowls that are commonly used at home. The chopsticks are also unpainted bamboo chopsticks.

When she heard the stories about the imperial palace from the officials and wives, people of different identities wear different things, even there are many kinds of teacups for drinking tea. The empress can use bright yellow ones, but the concubine cannot.Right now, my family will borrow this rule to block Mrs. Xiao Yang's affairs.

Sure enough, the women are very careful, and everyone can see at a glance that the dishes and chopsticks of the Ning family are different. Mrs. Gu, who had been sullen before, eased up a lot. Mrs. Xu smiled approvingly at Ning Wan, and Su My wife and Mrs. Xiao Yang didn't say anything either.In fact, if they asked, Ning Wan would have thought about it a long time ago, and just said that there is no such bowl and chopsticks at home, so they can't say anything else.

The food is the same, and everyone sits around the same table, but the bowls and chopsticks used are different, which means that the status is different, that is, there is a difference. It comforts the wives in the main house, and it can also make Mrs. Yang not feel too bad. .

Although Mrs. Yang tried her best to defend her in front of everyone when Mrs. Xiao Yang entered the door, she still had some smiles on her face when she saw that Ning Wan brought different bowls for Mrs. Yang, so she said to Mrs. Yu: "Last night I In front of the door, I saw that your little daughter guessed a lamp fan, she is really smart, and I saw many people who tried to guess but couldn't guess it."

Before Mrs. Yu could answer, Mrs. Yang interjected, "Sister, I don't know. Those lamp fans were all made by Brother Yi and his classmates. I'm afraid the people in the town won't be able to guess, so I just made up some ordinary ones for everyone to see." Just guessing."

Mrs. Su told the Ning family, "Brother Yi is studying in Mr. Xu's school, and he is often praised by Mr. Xu! He also loves to draw. This time Shopkeeper Ma specially asked him to help draw lantern riddles." Ask Mrs. Xu: "Is that so?"

Mrs. Xu just smiled, "I vaguely heard that shopkeeper Ma invited some children to help with lantern riddles, but I didn't ask carefully."

Mrs. Xiao Yang said again: "Brother Yi was drawing lantern riddles, and I helped him pass the pen and ink. I also heard him tell an anecdote, which was very interesting."

Mrs. Su said: "Since Brother Yi's story must be interesting, please tell us quickly."

Mrs. Xiao Yang said to everyone: "Brother Yi is also talking about a rebus: it was a matter of the previous dynasty, and it was also during the Lantern Festival. The woman with big feet, holding a big watermelon in her arms, changed her face, why do you say?"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Mrs. Yang said again: "It turns out that the empress is from Huaixi, and she has a pair of big feet. This rebus is a joke about the empress!"

"Later, the emperor drew a mark on this street in a fit of rage, and he was going to kill all the people here when the Lantern Festival was over. The queen heard it and asked to draw the same mark on all the streets. That saved the lives of these people."

"So, I told Brother Yi, you must not doodle when you draw lantern riddles. Brother Yi has always listened to me, so he drew a few common things, such as incense coils, fans and so on."

Ning Qing said, "My sister guessed that incense stick."

Mrs. Xiao Yang said: "It's a coincidence." Then said: "I wanted to bring Brother Yi here today, but his classmates are going to hold some literary conference, so he left early in the morning. When he is free , I will definitely bring him to visit your home."

Mrs. Yu said: "Of course that's good! Just don't delay Brother Yi's study." Thinking of Hu Dunru again, "Our god-in-law's youngest son is also studying in Mr. Xu's school. He is a very sensible child. Betrothed to Mrs. Gu's daughter."

Mrs. Gu then said: "This family relationship is exactly what the old gentleman and the old lady said. Our family also saw that the child is sincere and hardworking, so we agreed."

Mrs. Xu laughed and said, "My old man has always said that Dunru will be able to go to school in the future, just wait."

Everyone congratulated Mrs. Gu, "Your family will have a son-in-law in the future!"

After only three or five sentences, Mrs. Yang was picking up a small fried dumpling and said to everyone: "My brother Yi told me that the dumpling was originally called "Jiaoer", and it was a doctor surnamed Zhang who watched it a lot. The ears of the poor were frozen and rotten, so they made "Jiao Er Soup for Dispelling Cold", made mutton and some medicinal materials into ear-shaped "Jiao Er", cooked them and gave each person two Jiao Er, a bowl Soup, the ears of those who drink it will be healed."

Mrs. Su couldn't keep up with her.

Ning Wan suddenly understood that, in fact, Mrs. Xiao Yang looked a little arrogant on the surface, but in fact she was also vain in her heart. She gave her different bowls and chopsticks and even endured it, and then kept rushing to talk. She never leaves Brother Yi, because her confidence is only Yang Yi.The reason why the people in the town tolerated her was because she was Yang Yi's biological mother. No matter what, the Yang family would belong to Yang Yi in the future, and no one could turn against Mrs. Yang.

Therefore, today's banquet can also maintain this delicate balance.
