Chapter 1114 Little Prince Xiao’s Finger Wrap (26)(1/2)
The New Year is approaching, and the entire capital is immersed in joy.
Since they have no foundation or connections in Beijing, compared to other families who constantly visit relatives and friends, the Wang family is a bit deserted. No one invites them to be guests or visits them at home.
Mr. Wang and his two sons are fine. They can go out every day and are not bored. However, the female relatives at home are a little bored.
In particular, the mother and daughter of the Wang family still dream of climbing high branches. How can they make friends with high-ranking women and show their excellence without going out to socialize?
In the past two days, the second girl Wang's face has been smelly. When she looked at the first girl Wang, there were some noses and eyes that were not noses.
Miss Wang was very angry at her sister's attitude. When Miss Wang looked at her sideways again, she asked with a serious face: "Second sister, how did I offend you?"
Miss Wang had been holding it in for two days, and she couldn't hold it in anymore. When Miss Wang asked, she immediately expressed her dissatisfaction: "Last time we went to Yan's house, if the eldest sister hadn't stopped Ye Yueying,
If we go, the Yan family won’t annoy us.”
"With the introduction from the Yan family, maybe we would have gotten acquainted with other women's families long ago, and we wouldn't have to worry about staying at home like we are now."
"I heard what my eldest brother said. Because Princess Weiyuan returned to Beijing, the Yan family held several banquets. Many of the noble princesses and the female family members of high-ranking officials were present."
Miss Wang's face was extremely ugly, and she sneered: "Second sister, your ability to shirk responsibilities is really great. Was it my idea to not let Ye Yueying go?"
The second girl Wang retorted: "Originally, my mother and I didn't mean that. If you hadn't mentioned it, eldest sister, how would we have thought of not letting Ye Yueying go?"
Miss Wang was so angry that when she saw that Mrs. Wang didn't stop her sister, it was obvious that she thought so too, and she was so aggrieved that her eyes turned red.
If her mother and sister hadn't agreed, she alone would have been unable to stop Ye Yueying. Now it's fine, and all the mistakes are blamed on her.
The second girl Wang couldn't stand how the eldest girl cried at every turn: "Sister, you are crying more and more now. I just said a few words casually, are you like this? It's like I bullied you."
Hearing this, Miss Wang became even more angry: "You..."
Seeing that her two daughters were arguing so much, Mrs. Wang had to stop her: "Okay, please calm down for a while. I'm not annoying enough, right?"
In Youzhou, the Wang family has never been so deserted during the Chinese New Year.
At the end of every year, officials' wives and local squires would come to visit her every day with New Year's gifts. She was tired, but she was also really happy. She enjoyed being fawned over by others.
But when she came to the capital, let alone fawning over her, she was a noble wife, but she was reduced to staying at home doing nothing.
The gap between before and after this has already made her feel very uncomfortable. A few days ago, she was even more annoyed when she was scolded by her master in front of her children because of Ye Yueying's incident.
Now the two daughters are still arguing, which is really not considerate or considerate at all.
Miss Wang Er curled her lips: "Mother, isn't my daughter worried about her family and her eldest sister? If we can integrate into the circle of female relatives in the capital, not only will our father not have to worry, but even our eldest sister will have a good future.
”
Miss Wang laughed out loud: "Second sister is becoming more and more talkative now. Are you doing it for others? I think you are worried about your own marriage, right?"
Miss Wang did not deny it and said confidently: "Yes, I am anxious about my marriage, but this does not prevent me from being anxious about my family and you, eldest sister."
Without waiting for Miss Wang to speak, she continued: "Sister, next July will be the wedding date for you and Mr. Qi. If you don't hurry up, I'm afraid you will really marry back to Youzhou."
These words left Miss Wang speechless.
When Miss Wang saw it, she raised her eyebrows proudly.
Mrs. Wang glared at her youngest daughter and signaled her to calm down. After a moment of silence, she said to herself: "It seems that the Ye family has no face with the Yan family. If the Yan family really has an old relationship with the Ye family, last time
Ye Yueying didn’t go, so I should have sent out invitations for the next few banquets.”
Miss Wang Er nodded in agreement: "Isn't it true? We have been looking forward to this in vain. Mother, you also gave many good things to Ye Yueying."
He said with a mocking look on his face.
"And that little prince Xiao, I thought Ye Yueying was so capable and could really seduce the prince, but look at these days, has the noble little prince come to talk to her again?"
"I see, the young prince is just playing with Ye Yueying. He probably has seen too many gentle and virtuous ladies. Suddenly, when he saw the ice-faced Ye Yueying, his eyes lit up."
"After the young prince returns to the palace and calms down, his mind will naturally clear up. The girl he marries home should be warm-hearted. Who can stand facing a cold-hearted ice cube all day long?"

Mrs. Wang shook her head and said: "I hope that Young Prince Xiao really falls in love with Ye Yueying. If Ye Yueying really enters the palace as a concubine, it will also pave the way for your father and two brothers. Even you two can also benefit from it."
Hearing this, Miss Wang and Miss Wang stopped talking. They understood that Mrs. Wang was right, but when they thought that Ye Yueying could reach someone as outstanding as Prince Xiao, they couldn't help but feel jealous.
That evening, Mr. Wang came back with his two sons with smiles on their faces.
Mrs. Wang and her two daughters were very happy to learn that the father and son met Mr. Qian, a member of the Ministry of Industry, and his son at the teahouse today.
Miss Wang Er said with a smile: "I knew that with the talents of my father and two brothers, our family would be able to gain a foothold in the capital even without Ye Yueying and the Ye family."
This was very pleasant to Mr. Wang's ears, and he praised the second girl Wang with a smile: "By the way, the Qian family is going to have a concert tomorrow. I gave me a post. Tomorrow our family will go to the Qian family to listen to the opera."

Mrs. Wang, mother and daughter are very happy to be able to go out as guests.
This time, Mrs. Wang did not make a decision privately, but directly asked Mr. Wang: "Do you want to take Yueying with you?"
Hearing this, Mr. Wang fell silent.
Last time, his niece showed no face to him in front of Prince Xiao and Mr. Wu, which made him feel heartbroken when he thought about it.
Humph, this niece thinks that she has climbed to the top and doesn’t need the Wang family anymore.
It's a pity that she seems to think too highly of herself. Prince Xiao doesn't seem to pay much attention to her. Otherwise, why would the Yan family not even invite her to a banquet held during this period?
Also, what is the background of Prince Xiao, and what is the background of his niece? Even if the brother-in-law is still alive, the Ye family's family background cannot reach the palace.
Although he regretted not being able to establish a relationship with the palace, his niece's attitude chilled him. A niece who does not care about the Wang family will not be helpful to the Wang family no matter how well she marries. In this case, it is better to let him decide her decision.
Regarding the marriage, this can also help the Wang family.
"Yueying has an unpleasant temperament, so I won't take her with me to avoid offending the noble lady."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang's lips suddenly raised.
Mr. Wang frowned, his father didn't notice, but he understood that the reason why Mr. Qian took the initiative to greet them today was because his father mentioned the visit of Prince Xiao.
Do you want to bring your cousin with you?
Looking at his mother and two younger sisters who were talking happily about what to wear tomorrow, Mr. Wang thought for a while and finally chose to remain silent.
Going to Qian's house to listen to a play, it doesn't seem to matter whether my cousin goes or not. In this case, let's make my father, mother and sisters happy.
......
The son and daughter-in-law once again left Ye Yueying to attend the banquet. Mrs. Wang was so angry that she trembled all over and kept slapping her with her hands: "How did I give birth to such a heartless and unrighteous son!"
Ye Yueying persuaded the old lady for a long time before she persuaded her to stop.
After the old lady rested, Ye Yueying came out of the house, looked at the empty sky, and let out a long breath.
Since ancient times, kindness has been the hardest to repay, because the Wang family's kindness in taking in her has been accepted by her no matter how much property the Wang family has misappropriated from the Ye family over the years or how badly they have treated her.
She has no burden in her heart for her uncle's family who have no feelings. When she leaves the Wang family, no matter whether the future is good or bad, she won't have to worry about it, and she will be happy and relaxed.
It's good now, we don't owe each other anything!
At this moment, the steward suddenly hurried into the yard, and his eyes lit up when he saw Ye Yueying: "Cousin, two nuns came to the door. They said they were from the third wife of the Yan family, and they came to give New Year gifts to our family.
Please inform the old lady quickly. She is not at home, so I have to trouble the old lady to see the guests."
Yan family!
Ye Yueying couldn't help but tighten the jade pendant around her waist and quickly entered the house.
The old lady in the room had long heard what the steward said, and had already stood up to put on her clothes. As she was putting on her clothes, she said, "Yingying, don't keep people waiting. Go and greet her quickly."
Ye Yueying stood still, thought for a while and said: "Grandma, she is just a housekeeper, there is no need for me to greet her personally."
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she hurriedly patted her head: "Oh, look at me, I am really stupid. Although the Wang family is not as good as the Yan family, I really shouldn't let you, a wealthy lady, greet his family.
”
You can be enthusiastic when treating guests, but you can't be too humble and humble, otherwise you will definitely be looked down upon.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang asked the nanny beside her to go with the steward to greet the people.
When the steward led the servants of the Yan family over, Mrs. Wang was already sitting upright in the living room, while Ye Yueying was standing beside her in a polite manner.
Walking at the front was Zhou Jingwan's housekeeper, Yan Liushi, followed by Gu Yu beside Daohua.
"My servant Yan Liu, please give my regards to the old lady and my regards to Miss Ye."
Gu Yu followed the other maids in saluting without introducing herself.
She came here this time mainly to take a look at Miss Ye for the princess.
Mrs. Wang quickly asked people to get up, and then she took Ye Yueying and introduced her: "This is my niece. Everyone in the family went to Qian's house to listen to a play today, but she insisted on staying at home to take care of me."
Mrs. Yan Liu immediately praised: "Miss Ye is really filial, the old lady is blessed."
While Mrs. Yan Liu and Mrs. Wang were greeting each other, Gu Yu began to look at Ye Yueying calmly.
Although the prince and princess have long said that the marriage of the three young princes, brother and sister is mainly based on their liking, this does not mean that the prince and princess do not care about anything.
After learning that the young prince fell in love with Miss Ye, the prince immediately sent people to inquire about everything about the Wang family and the Ye family.
This visit to Wang's house was nominally in the name of Mr. Yan taking care of his old friend's orphan, but it was actually the intention of the princess, and the purpose was to take a look at Miss Ye.
