Mrs. Dong listened to what Mrs. Shui said back and forth, and after thinking about it, she asked Mrs. Shui to tell the mothers-in-law of the two families that she would welcome the mistresses of the two families to visit tomorrow.

After seeing off the wives of the Zhao and Huang families, Mrs. Shui returned to the main courtyard and saw her mistress sitting on the couch in a daze. Mrs. Shui did not go in to disturb Mrs. Xiao, but after a while she saw Mr. Xiao returning from the front yard.

It was the Dong family who sent someone to call Xiao Qingshan back. It was difficult to accept the messages from the Zhao family and the Huang family's mistress, and the Dong family was unsure. Xiao Qingshan came back and read the post twice, and then listened to Mrs. Shui's words.

The post is a normal visit post, with nothing except the time you want to visit. What Mrs. Shui relayed made Xiao Qingshan very concerned. Xiao Qingshan knew that the Huang family's mistress had felt sorry for the Dong family before, but the Zhao family's mistress did not know her nature.

After thinking about it, Xiao Qingshan decided that it would be better to have Ming Jia come over tomorrow to accompany Dong to entertain the guests, although Dong was a little uneasy. But seeing that her husband trusted her, Dong also gained some confidence.

Xiao Qingshan took the post back to the front yard, gave it to Mingjia, and told Mingjia to accompany Dong to entertain guests tomorrow. Mingjia listened to what her father said and immediately agreed.

On the second day, Mingjia boxed for a while in his own yard and then went directly to the main yard to have breakfast. Seeing that his mother's expression was as usual, Mingjia felt relieved. After breakfast, Mingjia quickly went to the yard to change clothes.

When Mistress Zhao and Mistress Huang arrived, they were a little surprised to see Miss Xiao standing next to the county magistrate's wife. They directly explained the purpose of their visit, and Mrs. Xiao even took the young lady with her.

The housekeeper must be taught well, but Miss Xiao is only 5 years old! It would be too early to come into contact with these things so early, and they would not be able to say a lot of things they had prepared in advance!

The two mistresses bowed to Ms. Dong together, and Ms. Dong quickly excused herself and asked them to sit down and let people watch the tea. The two mistresses picked up their teacups and drank tea, but suddenly no one wanted to speak.

Mingjia saw the state of the two mistresses and guessed that it was because of her presence. But she couldn't retreat, so she had to stand up.

Mingjia took a step forward, smiled and saluted the two mistresses and said hello: "Mingjia has met Aunt Zhao and Aunt Li!" The two mistresses quickly put down their teacups and stood up to return the salute. The lady from the county magistrate’s family, this gift is not pleasant~~

"When the two mistresses sent the message, what they said can now be said!" Mingjia finished the ceremony and went straight to the topic. Now everyone in the city is watching, and Mingjia doesn't want to go around in circles with the two of them.

Mistress of the Zhao family and Mistress of the Li family looked at each other, and then looked at Ms. Dong who was sitting in the chair. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Dong just looked at them with a smile, as if she didn't think there was anything wrong with her daughter's direct way of chatting this time.

In the end, it was the Zhao family's mistress who spoke first: "Actually, in September, the Sichuan City Government Office announced that officials would be assigned to various counties."

Now that the Zhao family's mistress opened her mouth, she told everything she knew. The head of the Zhao family is in Chuanzhou City, and it is still a relatively powerful family. The wife of the host family also receives some posts from small officials in Sichuanzhou on weekdays.

Every time you go to a banquet, you need to bring some gifts. To put it bluntly, the merchant status is low. Those petty officials would hold a banquet and collect gifts whenever they had an excuse.

Sun's mother, also the wife of Sun's subordinate official, liked to take advantage of these things the most. First of all, it was the wife of the head of the Zhao family who discovered that this little grandson's wife was acting a little arrogantly.

The wife who dared to talk to other officials of the same level choked, and expressed in her words that her family was about to be different. The wife of the Zhao family went back to tell Mr. Zhao, and Mr. Zhao sent someone to investigate.

The ambition of the Sun family was too obvious. When the head of the Zhao family found out, they naturally wanted to notify the Zhao family in Qu County. The Zhao family's mistress stopped here, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.

Upon seeing this, the mother-in-law of the Huang family spoke up: "My natal family is actually related by marriage to the second wife of the Li family. It is no secret that the Li family wants to train the third young master to take the imperial examination."

Ming Jia was a little confused at this point. Why was Secretary Li involved? The mistress of the Huang family continued.

During that time, the Huang family was taken advantage of by various families to snatch their business, and life was very difficult. If Xiao Qingshan is the county magistrate of Qu County, the Huang family may have a chance of survival, but if the Sun family is the county magistrate, the Huang family's life will be even more difficult.

After the Zhao family's mistress heard about the Sun family's plan, she took the initiative to find the Huang family's mistress. The two discussed not to let the Sun family succeed or destroy the marriage between the Li family and the Sun family.

They can't do the former, but the latter! Originally, the person they chose was the second young master of the Li family. After all, of the three young masters of the Li family, the second young master was the worst off.

Before they could chat with the second young lady, they discovered in advance Sun's suppression of Mrs. Li Shuli. Originally, Mrs. Sun was the most favored daughter-in-law of the Li family, and her father was an official.

But not long after Li Shuli married his wife, he was selected as a county clerk. The Li family felt that the third young lady was very prosperous, and Mrs. Sun felt that her status was threatened.

Especially at the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, the drunken head of the Li family directly revealed his future arrangements for Secretary Li. This made Mrs. Sun hate her three younger siblings. She felt that she was a lady from an official family who married into a merchant's family.

The third younger brother and sister are just a young talented girl, and she actually has the opportunity to become an official's wife. As a result, he began to suppress the third younger brother and sister everywhere. This matter was inquired about by the Zhao family and the Huang family's matrons.

Um~~~ The two mistresses were a little speechless at this point. Although they didn't really do anything, they couldn't escape the charge of instigation.

Mingjia suddenly remembered that when she and Dong went to Li's house for a visit, Granny Yan said that Li Shuli's wife was very hostile to his sister-in-law, Sun.

At that time, she only told her mother about it, and they all thought it was because the old lady of the Li family arranged for Sun to receive Dong, not Li Shuli's wife.

After all, Secretary Li works in the county government, and being friendly with the county magistrate's wife will be good for Secretary Li's future. However, the Li family arranged for the Sun family. Indeed, at that time, the Li family and Sun officials had already begun to plot the position of county magistrate.

Fortunately, she had thought that the Sun family and the Li family didn't know about Sun's official plan, and they were just hiding it from the brainless Sun family.

He is really a white-eyed wolf. His father had just helped his Li family to find the precious Master Sun, and then he turned around and plotted against his father and even the entire Xiao family.

In this case, she doesn't mind helping the Huang family and Zhao family to dismantle the Li family. Without power, there will be no trouble.

Ming Jia looked at the two mistresses who were drinking tea with their heads down guiltily. It was not difficult to guess the way they behaved and asked directly: "So you two, an aunt who pretended to be considerate, told the third young mistress Sun's reason for targeting her; A person who pretended to accidentally reveal the Sun family’s plan to the Third Young Mistress?”

Mistress of the Zhao family moved her lips, and finally said: "Sun has been suppressing her two sisters-in-law because of her status." Mistress of the Huang family thought for a while and said: "If Sun's father becomes the county magistrate, , the third son of the Li family must be designated as a merchant and cannot take the imperial examination."

Mingjia didn't say anything after hearing the two's arguments. In the end, she only asked: "What else did you participate in the rest of the matter?"

As soon as these words came out, the matrons of the Zhao family and the Huang family were frightened. They quickly stated that they would not participate in what happened next. They didn't expect that the little daughter-in-law, who looked so cute and naive, would be so ruthless and go straight to Sun's only son.

Mingjia saw that everything was finished and she had nothing to ask, so she turned back to look at Dong. At this time, Mrs. Dong finally said the second sentence of today's meeting: "I see that the two ladies seem to like the tea here very much. I ordered someone to prepare one for each of them and take them back to taste."

After seeing off the mistresses of the Zhao and Huang families, Ming Jia sent her mother back to the main courtyard first. Dong suddenly said: "Mingjia, you don't have to send me back. You can go directly to the study to find your father!"
