Chapter 523 Beating

 On the 14th day of the first lunar month, at the Dong family banquet, at the beginning of the day (9:00), Mrs. Li and Mrs. Fan took Daohua, Li Zixin and others out.

The top official of Zhongzhou Province was hosting a banquet, so each family would not neglect it. When Daohua and his party arrived, many carriages and horses had already gathered in front of the gate of Dong Mansion.

Because there were carriages and horses ahead, Daohua and the others sat in the carriage and waited for a while.

"Wenxiu!"

Outside the car, a cheerful and smiling male voice sounded.

"Where are Wen Kai and Wen Tao? Why didn't they come?"

Then, Yan Wenxiu's voice sounded.

"They have something to do. Come over with the young prince at noon."

Yan Yile couldn't help but opened the car curtain, and immediately saw Dong Yuanxuan chatting and laughing with Yan Wenxiu in front of the gate of Dong's Mansion.

Looking at Dong Yuanxuan in Yushu Lanzhi, several girls in the carriage could not help but have a look of admiration on their faces.

Daohua glanced at it with admiration in her eyes.

Perhaps the gazes of the girls in the carriage were too intense. Dong Yuanxuan noticed it, raised his eyes and looked this way. When he saw it was a girl from the Yan family, he smiled and nodded.

Daohua saw it and said quickly: "Hurry up and put down the curtain so that no one can see it."

Outside, Yan Yile behaved well and obediently lowered the car curtain, sat upright, and said with a smile: "Brother Dong smiled at me just now."

Yan Yishuang snorted: "Stop being so pretty, Brother Dong is obviously smiling at all of us."

Yan Yile opened her mouth to refute, but was stopped by Yan Yihuan.

Daohua sat aside and played with the palace ribbon, paying no attention to it. As long as they didn't make any noise, quarrel or anything like that, she usually didn't care.

Yan Yihuan smiled and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, Brother Dong hasn't been to our house for a long time." As she said that, she looked at Daohua and said, "Sister, Brother Dong used to be with the young prince and the third brother.

, the fourth brother goes in and out together, but why haven’t they been together this year?"

Daohua: "Brother Dong is about to reach his prime age and has already begun to take over the household affairs. Naturally, he will have less free time."

Dong Yuanxuan is different from the third and fourth brothers. The Dong family has paved the way for him. As long as he follows the family's arrangements, he will have a good future. There is no need to work as hard as his two brothers.

Everyone looked astonished.

Hearing the commotion outside the car becoming more and more noisy, Li Zixin interjected: "The Dong Mansion has held quite a few banquets in the past two months. I heard that they are for Mr. Dong to choose a bride."

As soon as these words came out, Yan Yihuan and others all looked at Li Zixin.

Yan Yishuang asked anxiously: "Are you telling the truth? Are you not lying?"

Being questioned, Li Zixin was a little unhappy and pouted: "Why should I lie to you? Years ago, I went to another house with my mother as a guest, and I heard many ladies talking about this matter."

Daohua glanced at Yan Yishuang, who was reacting a bit, and then at Yan Yihuan who was messing up her handkerchiefs, and frowned: "Brother Dong, why is it surprising that he said we are going to get married? Secretary Dong will be in office at the end of this year.

When it’s full, even if they don’t choose in Zhongzhou, they will go back to the capital to choose.”

As he spoke, his face became a little more serious.

"When you go out as a guest, don't make a fuss when you hear something. If people see it, they will think that I, the girl from the Yan family, is not dignified. Today's guests are all high-level officials from Zhongzhou and the women of some well-established families. If you don't want to

If you want to leave a bad impression on the wives of various families, you should pay attention to your words and deeds."

After hearing this, Yan Yishuang and others became more behaved.

Several girls are now thirteen or fourteen years old, and they all know that they will start discussing marriage in two years. Every time they go out, they are trying to build their reputations and gain popularity, and they never dare to act willfully in front of their own futures.

Daohua rapped a few words and saw that her sisters were quiet. She felt relieved. She didn't say anything more and just leaned on the carriage with her eyes closed to relax.

After that, Yan Yishuang and the others were silent.

Yang Xiujun saw that both Yan Yishuang and Yan Yihuan were a little absent-minded, her eyes flashed, and she felt a little clear when she thought of the handsome young man she had just met.

Soon, the carriage started moving, entered the side door, and went straight to the hanging flower door.

When they arrived at the Chuihua Gate, Daohua and others got out of the car and saw Mrs. Dong and Dong Yuanyao coming to greet them in person.

Mrs. Dong pulled Mrs. Li affectionately, and did not ignore Mrs. Fan. She said enthusiastically: "You are finally here. The stage has been set up. Come on, follow me to the theater."

Mrs. Li smiled and said: "You have to let us go and greet Mrs. Dong first."

Mrs. Dong smiled and said: "Mother is also over there on the stage."

Mrs. Dong led Mrs. Li, Mrs. Fan walked in front, Dong Yuanyao walked behind with rice flowers in her arms and several girls.

Daohua whispered: "A lot of people came to your house today, right?"

Dong Yuanyao nodded with her face crossed: "Isn't it true? I got up early in the morning and I haven't taken a breath yet."

Daohua patted her hand sympathetically. She knew how tiring it was to hold a banquet: "Thank you for your hard work."

Soon, everyone came to the stage.

Daohua glanced at the people preparing on the stage: "Double Happiness Class invited by your family?"

Dong Yuanyao nodded.

Daohua: "Anxi is here too?"

Dong Yuanyao nodded again: "Here he is. After all, he is also the mainstay of the Double Happiness Class. He must be in all the plays that everyone loves to listen to and watch."

Daohua sighed: "Yesterday he was made to kneel and beaten again. I wonder if he can go on stage?"

Dong Yuanyao: "It's normal for an actor to come on stage with an injury. This kind of thing is so normal in the troupe. You have to endure it even if you feel uncomfortable."

After that, Mrs. Li took Daohua and several other people to greet Mrs. Dong. After Mrs. Dong arranged for them to sit down, she was busy greeting other people. Dong Yuanyao sat with her for a while. When she saw other girls coming,

Gone too.

At this moment, the drama has begun.

Mrs. Dong ordered Anxi’s in the first scene.

Daohua was eating melon seeds while looking at Anxi on the stage.

"I used to think these melon seeds were boring to eat, but now I'm used to them, and I can't live without them when I'm listening to a play."

"Me too. Whenever I have some free time, I can't help but eat a few."

“At the banquet at Mrs.

"My grandmother also likes to chat with us while eating melon seeds."

Hearing the chatting of other ladies, Daohua's lips curled up. It seems that melon seeds have been gradually popularized.

At noon, Mrs. Jiang arrived with Jiang Wanying.

As soon as Jiang Wanying arrived, many ladies gathered around her, saying that her clothes were beautiful and her headdress was special...

Jiang Wanying smiled and listened to the compliments of the ladies for a while. When she saw Daohua sitting next to her, her expression froze slightly. Daohua happened to also look over. The two looked at each other, nodded to each other, and then moved away.

Sight.

Backstage at the stage, An Xi felt a little weak after singing for several consecutive performances. However, at this time, the boy in the front yard came and told him to go to the front yard to sing.

After hearing this, the class leader hurriedly bent down and responded.

After the boy left, the class leader looked at An Xi. Seeing that he was wearing makeup and couldn't hide his fatigue, he felt a little regretful. If he had known, he wouldn't have beaten him like that yesterday.

However, An Xi has such a stubborn temper that he dares to show his displeasure even with the young masters who participate in politics, so he has to teach him a lesson harshly, otherwise, the whole troupe will be implicated by him.

"You support one more performance. After you finish singing, I will immediately ask Ning Xi to replace you."

An Xi said nothing.

The class leader sighed and motioned for others to apply makeup on him.

An Xi didn't move and let others put makeup on him, but he put his hands on his knees and squeezed them hard.
