Chapter 178 Reception
Chrysanthemum Garden.
The old lady sat on the main seat with a gloomy face and silent.
The second lady looked around and quietly nodded at Yan Mingde, who was sitting next to her, making a winking.
Yan Shuang'er couldn't help jumping out first.
"This Mingfei has the face to come back. At the beginning, when our banquet house was in trouble, she ignored it. Now it's really shameless to cooperate with Yanji to trick us. Look at her appearance towards Sister Rou'er just now. What's the big deal?"
Yan Rouer heard that someone was fighting for herself and pretended to be in fact, "Sister Shuang'er, I don't care, but it's just that the eldest aunt and the youngest aunt come back together, which is really not good for us at all."
Of course, Mrs. Yan understands that this time, Yan Ji's face is really big enough to let two people who have not come home for many years come back. Anyone can think about it.
"What are you afraid of? Let's look while walking. This is the banquet house. Even if they want to do something, they can't but pay attention to my old lady." The old lady shook her head with a sneer, and her eyes were full of disdain and dissatisfaction.
"Mother." The second lady called worriedly, "Didn't you see it just now? They came back and obviously wanted to fight against us. It doesn't matter if Mingde is a family member or not, but if the seat of the head of the family is really taken away by Yan Ji's dead girl, we really have no way out."
With that, the second lady wiped her tears.
"All's done." The old lady turned her cold eyes. I'm not dead yet. You just want to be a family member. I still say that even if it's a replacement, it won't be Yan Ji.
Yan Rouer raised her eyebrows slightly and thought to herself that Yan Mingde was not the only one. It was simply not worth mentioning that Yan Mingde was placed in front of her.
"Grandma." Xue'er stepped forward with a smile and said, "The most important thing for us now is to stay calm. You are hosting the whole banquet house well. Even if they want to do something, there must be a reason. As long as we don't make any mistakes, what else can they do? They can't bring it up blatantly."
Yan Rouer stood up and said, "Old lady, what Xue'er said is reasonable, but since the Empress Ming came back with great fanfare, she has made all the preparations."
At this time, the housekeeper came in and said that the evening reception was ready.
The old lady stood up with the help of Cailian and pointed to the person in front of her and said, "Don't think about anything. When you come to the banquet tonight, you will know what the Empress Ming wants to do. It's useless to guess here."
However, Yan Rouer's face was full of care. The old lady was stubborn. Obviously, it was obvious that she retreated again and again. What else did she want to receive the banquet?
"Madam." Qing'er whispered in her ear, "Is this old lady already left a hand?"
Yan Rouer suddenly raised her head and stared at her. What does this sentence mean? This old lady will not directly pass on the identity of her family member to Yan Mingde and pass it on from generation to generation. This is a matter of course. Even the Empress Mingfei is helpless, but if so, she will not even have a chance to compete. Yes.
Yan Rouer sneered and shook her head and said, "Qinger, this Yan Mingde could not be underestimated before, because he had an old lady as his backer, but now Yan Ji's comedian is even bigger. It's not a piece of face when the two aunts come back in person. You have to be flexible when doing things."
"Madam, I'm worried that this is not good for you."
Yan Rouer smiled and didn't say anything. For him, even if he couldn't get the seat of the head mother of the banquet house this time, it was nothing, but the final person was himself.
In the hall, the delicious food and the old lady are also devoted to everything. Naturally, there is no shortage of delicacies, but for the Empress Ming, these are simply not worth mentioning. The luxury in the palace is not something that people in the banquet house can see.
Mrs. Shangshu took a sip of tea and said, "Old lady, how long has it been since my sister and I came back? It must have been many years."
The old lady smiled faintly and said, "It's been some years. Although our family relationship is a little weak, I, an old woman, always believe that this married daughter will always come back."
"It's all the unfiliality of us as children." Although Mrs. Shangshu said politely, her words were full of indifference, and it could be seen that the relationship between him and the old lady was really not good.
Yan Mingde also came to insert a bar.
"Don't worry, sister. Although you and Concubine Ming are not at home, after all, there are still me and my eldest brother in this family. We will definitely be filial to our mother."
The Empress Mingfei put down her chopsticks and said, "Second Master, your words are to the point. Yes, the old lady is old and some things can not be troublesome, so there is no need to bother. Don't you think so? There are more people who can use it in this banquet house. Besides, it's good for the lady to work hard. When you enjoy happiness, the eldest brother is idle and wild crane. Let Yan Ji come and bear such a heavy burden.
The smiles of the second lady and Yan Mingde froze, and the chopsticks in their hands disappeared.
Only Yan Rouer's words and smiles, and the Empress Ming had already expected the result. Since she came back to help Yan Ji get the position of the mother, she must move fast enough.
The old lady smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for your care. The old man is in good health. The banquet house is the foundation of several generations of our banquet family. Of course, I want to protect it well. Otherwise, I really don't know what face I will face the ancestors in a hundred years later."
The Empress Ming chased and said, "I know very well what the old lady is thinking. My Mingfei has always been a straightforward person. Sooner or later, the power in the old lady's hand will be released. As for who you give, you used to have the final say, but today it may not be like this."
Yan Ji watched the play and thought to herself that her aunt was really too strong. She had just returned to the banquet house and began to negotiate before her buttocks were hot. The work efficiency of these two was really too high.
Then, Mrs. Yan put down her chopsticks in her hand and said rudely, "Mingfei, although you are the mother in the palace, since you have returned to the banquet house, you should follow the principles of the banquet house. What should you do at home? I, the old lady, know best."
Yellow-haired girl, don't think that after two days of being a noble concubine, you will really fly to the branch to be a phoenix and return to the banquet house. You are a sparrow that I can step on at any time.
Do you think that as long as you come back, I will really give the banquet girl who ruined the hall? It's simply delusional.
The Empress Ming raised her eyebrows: "Old lady, you really praise me. You are right. Anyway, as long as you return to the banquet house, then I am the young lady of this banquet house, no longer a noble concubine. However, I don't care if it is Yan Mingde, but if it is Yan Mingde, I really You're welcome."
Yan Mingde's body trembled. Concubine Ming had known her dissatisfaction and resentment for a long time, but she didn't expect that she would be so blatant.
Yan Xueer's children were also shocked. This Mingfei is really rampant.
Mrs. Shangshu and Yan Ji looked at each other, curled their lips and smiled. They really didn't expect that this Empress Mingfei was really provocative.
Originally, they wanted to be bored for a while, but they didn't expect that this Empress Ming was quick to cut the mess. When she came back to the banquet house, she would no longer have a geographical advantage. If she didn't take the initiative to take action and have the upper hand, it would be really dangerous.
"Ms. Mingfei, what on earth do you want to say?"
"Old lady." The Empress Ming looked at Yan Ji and said, "These two masters are virtuous and incompetent and can't keep the foundation of our Yan family at all. Even if I don't say it, you are very clear in your heart. You just said that something really happened to this Yan family, and there is really can't face the ancestors of the Yan family. So Well, let me make a personal choice. What do you think of Yan Ji?
The old lady's face is so dark that it can't be described as black charcoal.
"Yan Ji." At this time, the second lady interrupted and said, "Mscubine Ming, I know you love this niece, but you should have heard what Yanji has done. There are a lot of people drinking soup by her eyes."
"The unmarried son, such a corrupt family tradition, now it is unclear to a few men outside. Such a disaster, it is simply delusional to want to climb to the position of the head of the family."
Mrs Shangshu was unhappy and dared to talk about her precious daughter like this.
The eldest lady was the first to jump out.
"Second lady, what do you mean by this? Yan Ji, she is a first-class daughter in front of the emperor. The most important thing is that you know how much face Yan Ji has in front of the queen and the empress dowager. Do you think you can have such a relationship?"
"My father." Yan Hong interrupted, "That's the old lady's direct son, and the lady is decent and will never do anything to humiliate the family. Yan Ji is the least qualified in this family."
As soon as Yan Ji wanted to speak, she was caught by Mrs. Shangshu. Before dinner today, it was agreed that even if she was said to be a piece of shit at the banquet, she could not complain at all.
What kind of rhythm is this? I really don't understand. They almost spit on my face. You still make me pretend to be deaf and dumb here. Do you have a conscience or not?
Turn your eyes more often. This damn Yan Hong actually said his mother like this. I think he is looking for death.
In a moment, I will let you know how powerful I am. Indeed, how could these people notice this villain when they were fighting?
The Empress Ming stained the tip of her nose with a handkerchief and said, "Where did this come from? How dare you not laugh like this? Do you feel uncomfortable for a junior competing with your father for a seat? Then tell me, are you qualified?"
The second lady pulled Yan Hong's clothes and motioned him to sit down.
