Yun Qiao and Xi Lanting went to Ding Zicong's house.
The Ding family has guests.
The visitor was a Mrs. Dong, who used to be close friends with Mrs. Ding.
After getting married, Mrs. Dong's husband rose through the ranks and became the mayor and secretary-general of Yancheng, with a smooth official career.
Mrs. Dong is busy running the family business and has no time to spare.
Mrs. Dong now associates with noble ladies, and although the Ding family has wealth, they are looked down upon by Mrs. Dong because they have wealth but no power.
“…How can we move out?
If you don’t fulfill your filial piety to your parents-in-law, what will you gain if the family is separated in the future?"
Mrs. Dong said Miss Ding.
Then, she said of Ding Zicong, “Although he has gained some fame, he is not popular.
You advise him to get a job with the government.
Depending on his ability, it is possible to find a small official position.
I’ll ask my family to help.”
Mrs. Ding just listened.
Ding Yingying was standing by, watching Mrs. Dong's mouth open and close without saying a word, so she deliberately asked Mrs. Ding: "Mom, why is the half bucket of water clinking?"
The two of them were stunned.
Mrs. Dong looked at such a small girl in astonishment: "Where did you learn the words?"
Then he said to Mrs. Ding, "How old is she? Her speech is so clear and clever."
Mrs. Ding knew that her daughter had some genius. She was really mocking Mrs. Dong, so she hurriedly hugged her and said, "She speaks early.
Tongtong goes out to play, Shi Ma, come and carry Tongtong out."
Ding Yingying refused to leave.
She leaned against her mother, continued to look at Mrs. Dong, and asked her: "Aunt, is your family prosperous now?"
Mrs. Dong thought she was interesting and only wanted to amuse the children: "Oh, you really know everything, little devil! Our family is prosperous. I will marry you as my young mistress in the future, okay?"
Ding Yingying: "Not good."
"Why?"
Mrs. Dong asked with a smile.
Ding Yingying: "You scream when you get a bone. I don't know how high the sky is. I don't like it."
Mrs. Dong: "..."
At this moment, she really suspected that the child was possessed by a ghost.
Such a complicated sarcasm was actually spoken by a little baby over two years old.
Mrs. Ding was always there and did not take the children out, so naturally she did not teach them in private.
"What did she say?"
Mrs. Dong looked a little sad.
Mrs. Ding smiled apologetically: "Shu Qing, don't be upset.
Look at this child, she is only over two years old, she just learned some incorrect words, it was just a coincidence."
Mrs. Dong thinks so too.
This child is too young.
However, she was not happy after all. She wanted to chat away some gossip, but the servant hurried in and said to Young Madam Ding with a smile: "The seventh master and his wife of the Xi family are here to visit."
Mrs. Dong was shocked: "Who is it?"
The servant who had just been serving tea and water nearby was already furious after hearing Mrs. Dong's condescending remarks.
Their young mistress is too lazy to show off.
You know, Mrs. Xi's seventh wife is their aunt, and she is very close to them.
By chance, Master Xi Qi and his wife came together at this moment. The servant immediately felt proud and told Mrs. Dong: "Master Qi and Mrs. Xi from the Governor's Mansion.
Mrs. Dong, you are the wife of a high-ranking official and are well-informed. Have you heard about it?"
Mrs. Ding was angry and funny for a moment, scolding the maid: "Stop chattering and go get some tea."
After that, she held the child in her arms and went to pick up the guests, "Shu Qing, please wait a moment."
Mrs. Dong was uneasy and still couldn't recover from the afterglow of shock.
After a while, two fairy-like men and women came in - the man was so handsome and the woman was so beautiful that they were unforgettable.
Mrs. Dong has met them both.
The Xi family held a high-profile wedding banquet and invited guests, including city government officials and their families.
