Chapter 773 Receiving Gifts(1/2)

 The emperor was no longer willing to tolerate the Jiang family, which disturbed the minds of many officials in the court. The political parties headed by the Jiang family also became undercurrents.

Originally, Jiang Jinghui wanted to receive meritorious services from the Western Liao envoys and return to work, but officials from other parties were involved because the Xijiao Posthouse lost the horses brought by the Western Liao people.

This time, Jiang Jinghui was forced to dismiss his job and stay at home.

The first day of August is Daohua’s birthday.

This is Daohua's last birthday at home. Mrs. Li originally wanted to make it grand, but she remembered that Jiang Wanying had just got married two days ago. She didn't want to stimulate the nerves of the Queen Mother and the Jiang family at this time, lest they do something even crazier again.

Come, I just want to get together with my family.

"Mother."

The day before Daohua's birthday, Han Xinran came to see Mrs. Li with the Han family's post.

Mrs. Li is very busy during this period. Wen Tao is getting married next month, Wen Kai is getting married next month, and her daughter is getting married in December. She is busy almost every day.

"What happened?"

Mrs. Li looked at the gift list without raising her head.

Han Xinran: "Mom, isn't it my eldest sister's birthday tomorrow? My natal sister wanted to come over to congratulate her on her birthday and sent me a message. Do you want to accept it?"

Mrs. Li moved her eyes away from the gift list, raised her eyes to look at the eldest daughter-in-law, and thought to herself, the eldest daughter-in-law finally stopped making her own decisions: "We are all relatives. If your mother's family is interested, why can't our family accept it?"<

/p>

This is the last time that my daughter will be born in her natal family. It would be a good idea to let her get in touch with more relatives in her natal family to avoid any problems in the future.

Han Xinran saw the satisfied look on Mrs. Li's face, and felt a little relieved. She finally understood how to deal with her mother-in-law in the future: "My wife, I'll go and reply right now."

After coming out of the main courtyard, Han Xinran walked slowly on the road, looking at the yards of the two new houses that were being quickly decorated, feeling a little heavy.

In the past, she had only one daughter-in-law in the family, so she didn't feel much about it. Now that her third and fourth younger siblings are coming in one after another, she is gradually feeling some pressure.

Especially the fourth younger sister, whose family background and character are not inferior to hers, and who are both daughters-in-law of a eldest family, they will inevitably be compared in the future.

The fourth younger sister and the eldest sister grew up together under the watch of the elders of the Yan family. Naturally, they are more popular with the elders than her. In addition, when she returned to Beijing this time, she failed to grasp the appropriateness of getting along with her natal family, which offended her mother-in-law.

Unhappy, this gave her a great sense of crisis.

She grew up in an uncle's house, and she knows all too well that living under the same roof, fights and frictions are unavoidable. Whoever the elder's heart is towards will be able to live more comfortably.

Looking away, Han Xinran first returned to her yard to reply, and then went to the kitchen in person to check whether all the ingredients needed for tomorrow were complete.

......

Early on the first day of August, Han Xinman brought the Han sisters and two girls from the Fang family to the Yan family.

When Han Xinran came to pick them up, she saw her eldest sister and saw that she had brought the Fang sisters here. She frowned slightly and said, "Sister, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming?"

Han Xinman took Han Xinran's arm affectionately and asked with a smile: "Don't you welcome me here?"

Han Xinran looked at her: "If I take the girls from the Yan family to Yongqing's Mansion without telling you, will you welcome me?"

Han Xinman was stunned for a moment and looked at her second sister in surprise. Now that she has her husband's family, her second sister is much tougher than when she was at home.

"Okay, okay, it's my eldest sister's fault. I blame me for being lazy. I thought I had already submitted the post at home and was in a hurry, so I didn't say hello to you. Are you really angry with your eldest sister?"

Han Xinran was silent: "Sister, my sisters don't understand, but you and I are both married to someone else. It's okay for us to be casual at home, but when we go to our husband's house, we should still abide by the etiquette, what do you think?"
p>

Han Xinran kept chasing after her, which made Han Xinman feel very unhappy. Is this a trivial matter?

Nowadays, among the better-informed people in the capital, who doesn’t know that the Yan family has offended the Jiang family to death? I really don’t know what is so attractive about her second sister.

If her father-in-law hadn't spoken in person this time, she wouldn't have bothered to bring the two younger sisters from the uncle's house to the Yan family.

"My good second sister, this time it was my eldest sister who was not thoughtful, please forgive me this time, okay? This is the first time I have visited your husband's house, and you still want to stop me outside and not let me in.

Not?"

Han Xinran glanced at his eldest sister. When she was at home, her eldest sister always tried to please the elders. Sometimes it was clearly her fault, but when she said it, it seemed that it was someone else's fault.

People have already arrived. Although Han Xinran felt very uncomfortable, she still led the Han sisters and Fang sisters to Mrs. Yan’s yard.

Before the Han sisters came, Yan Siyu brought Yang Xiujun and the Yang sisters here. Now, he is joking with Mrs. Yan, Mrs. Li, Wu, and the four sisters Daohua.

Seeing Han Xinman, Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Li were both surprised. Thinking of the behavior of the Han family, the smiles on their faces faded a little.

In fact, you can see other people's attitudes towards you in the little things you do in daily interactions.

Han Xinman and the girls from the Fang family came over without even saying hello, so they didn't take the Yan family seriously.

If she were asked to treat other powerful families like this, she probably wouldn't be able to and wouldn't dare to.

Han Xinran could see the displeasure of the old lady and mother-in-law at a glance. She felt bitter and had to step forward to explain.

Daohua sat aside and saw this scene in her eyes. She didn't say much, but just looked at Yang Xiujun with a smile: "I heard that cousin Xiujun is engaged to the third son of Shaoqing's family in Taichang Temple?"

Yang Xiujun nodded shyly.

Daohua immediately looked at Yan Yihuan with a smile: "That's such a coincidence. Yihuan has also decided that you two can get together to discuss how to embroider the wedding dress."

Yang Xiujun immediately looked at Yan Yihuan: "Really? Which house did cousin Yihuan choose?"

Yan Yihuan looked a little shy and was too embarrassed to speak.

Daohua smiled and said: "He is the eldest son of the family of Mr. You, a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He has just reached the crown and is already an official."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Yang Xiujun immediately smiled and congratulated Yan Yihuan. The member of the household department, Wailang, is a fifth-rank official, which is enough to match Yihuan's cousin, whose father and brother are only white.

"Second uncle and second aunt, do they all know?"

Daohua nodded: "Of course I have to tell my second uncle and second aunt about Yihuan's marriage. Now my second brother and second sister-in-law have already left for Beijing. I just have to wait for them to come and visit the You family before we can make a decision."
p>

Yang Xiujun looked at Yan Yihuan with a smile: "The family that my uncle and aunt are interested in must be good." She was able to get engaged to the youngest son of the Taichang Temple Shaoqing family, who was in the fourth grade, because she had the honor of the Yan family.

The eldest uncle is the Minister of Household Affairs, the eldest cousin is Hanlin, the third and fourth cousins ​​are Jinlingwei, and the cousin Yiyi in front of him is about to marry into the royal family. If his family had not had such a relationship with the Yan family, she would

You can’t get this good marriage.

The last time we were in Zhongzhou, we all lived together again because of my grandmother's preference. Her relationship with several cousins ​​was very normal. Now we all live as relatives, and there is no conflict of interest. If they are not far or close, the relationship is actually better.

.

Every time she comes to Yan Mansion, her cousins ​​welcome her.

Yan Yihuan nodded with gratitude: "I know that my uncle and aunt worry a lot about me."

"What are everyone talking about?"

Han Xinran smiled and brought the Han sisters and Fang sisters over.

Daohua smiled and said: "The weather today is really hot."

Yan Yihuan and Yang Xiujun nodded quickly.

Han Xinran looked at Daohua: "Sister, please help me receive her. I'll go check out the kitchen."

Daohua smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law."

Han Xinran smiled and shook his head, turned and left.

The third girl of the Han family smiled and said: "Is it hot? I don't think so. I just passed by the flower gallery in the yard and I thought it was very cool there." As she said that, she looked at the rice flowers.

"Sister Yan, how about we go over there and sit and talk. We can enjoy the cool air and enjoy the flowers at the same time. We kill two birds with one stone."

Daohua glanced at the third girl of the Han family, picked up the tea cup and pretended not to hear what she said.

As a guest, you don’t know the most basic things about a guest and a host. It’s not without reason that the Han family, an uncle’s house, can quickly fall into decline due to such and such demands as soon as you arrive.

Seeing Daohua being so disrespectful, the three girls from the Han family felt a little embarrassed, while the Fang sisters were slightly stunned.

It is really rare to see a host who is so disrespectful to his guests.

Yan Yihuan didn't want the atmosphere to be too awkward, so she changed the subject with a smile.

Daohua didn't hold on to her, but in the subsequent chats, she intentionally or unintentionally ignored the Han sisters.

After several contacts, she has figured out the temperament of the Han sisters. Since they are girls from the Earl's Mansion family, they are a bit aloof and like to show off. If you give them a good face, you will only indulge them.

More and more.

When it was almost noon, Pingtong walked into the house with a smile on her face. After saluting Mrs. Yan and others, she said with a smile: "Old lady, Madam, Prince Ping's Mansion has come to give the eldest daughter a birthday gift."<

/p>

Mrs. Li quickly said: "Invite people in quickly."

The person who came this time was Wynn. Wynn first greeted Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Li, then saluted Daohua and handed her a half-meter-long golden nanmu box: "My best wishes.

The county lord will continue to live forever in his youthful age, and will never leave Juanhua."

Daohua smiled and took the box: "What is this?" She opened the box and immediately, a light green jade Ruyi came into view.

"The prince hopes that the county master will always be happy with his wishes!" Wynn said at the right time.

The smile on Daohua's face became even wider. Although Prince Ping gave her such an expensive gift, most of the reason was to make up for her previous guilt, but she was still very happy.
