Delicate Flower Chapter 353: Wedding Feast

Yu Tang can understand why she flatters the superior and disappoints the inferior, but it does not mean that she wants to have close contact with such a family. Besides, Pei Yan and Jiang Hua have conflicts in the first place. It is enough for the two families to take care of their own interests.

So when Yu Tang went to Jiang's house for a wedding banquet, he was also indifferent.

Gu Xi, on the other hand, visited the Yang family with Pei Tong during this period and visited some of Pei You's former friends. She couldn't help but feel a little moved. She wanted to not offend the Pei family and establish her own business. Unfortunately, she said this politely. She told her brother Gu Chang, but Gu Chang scolded her and warned her: "Don't move around during this period. I will go to the Hanlin Academy soon. The chief bachelor of the Hanlin Academy is Pei Xuan’s mentor, now we can’t live without the protection of the Pei family.”

Gu Xi was very depressed and felt that Pei Tong had no ambition. Why did her brother seem to be a different person after marrying his sister-in-law.

She didn’t know that Gu Chang was ostracized by many people because of Sun Gao’s incident. If he wanted to restore his reputation, he could only rely on seeing people’s hearts over time. But to see people’s hearts over time, someone had to help him brag. Someone was protecting him. He and the Yin family are already natural allies. The Yin family will help him when it comes to establishing a name and virtue, but the prerequisite for helping him is that he can stand on his own. His performance during his tenure in the Hanlin Academy is particularly important.

Why should he leave the relationship with the Pei family unused while he works silently there?

Gu Chang had no choice but to remind Gu Xi repeatedly.

Gu Xi felt that she might not be able to help her brother.

Last time Pei Xuan came back and had dinner with Pei Yan's family, he didn't ask them to come over.

But her brother had great hopes for the Pei family, so it was hard for her to throw cold water on him.

Gu Xi responded absently, never giving up on the idea of ​​independence.

She also paid special attention to the Jiang family's wedding banquet this time - Jiang Hua is the elder of the pavilion, and he has such a strong mentor as Zhang Ying. When he marries a wife, all the people he associates with are officials of fourth rank or above, including female relatives. Most of them are wives with royal titles, and this is the highest-level banquet she can come into contact with. She must seize the opportunity no matter what, and show her face in front of these ladies and ladies. But she knew the rules of a wealthy family better, so she sent someone early to find out what kind of clothes Yu Tang, the second wife, and the fifth lady were going to wear, and what kind of jewelry they were going to wear when going out.

Yu Tang chose the moon-white Sichuan embroidered jacket as Pei Yan said, and wore a pearl headband, but the pearls were as big as pigeon eggs and as small as lotus seeds. They were jewel-like and extremely graceful. Gu Xi looked at it and couldn't help but said: "Third aunt, wearing this, I'm afraid she will outshine all other beauties."

Being a mistress is not about beauty, but stability.

Gu Xi cannot think carefully about these words.

Yu Tang glanced at her with a smile.

She wore a goose-yellow Hangzhou silk veil today, and wore a lapis lazuli headband. She looked serene and elegant, and was particularly suitable for the slightly warm weather in early summer in the capital. She was very outstanding.

Gu Xi also knew that she was well-dressed and could withstand criticism. When she saw Yu Tang looking at her with a smile, she smiled back at Yu Tang.

Yu Tang didn't pay attention and urged Qingyuan beside him: "Go and see why the second wife hasn't come yet?"

Qing Yuan left in response, but before he walked out of the hall, he saw the second wife wearing a sapphire blue vase and eight treasure pattern Hangzhou silk jacket, a gold-inlaid jade headdress, and a green embroidered bee-and-butterfly dress. The fifth young ladies who were dancing together and wearing yellow stone jewelry appeared in front of the two of them one after another.

"Oh!" Miss Fifth ran over when she saw Yu Tang, took her hand and looked at her jewelry, "This pearl is so big! So beautiful!"

The second wife was quite calm, walked over leisurely, and said with a smile: "Your third aunt, this is Dongzhu, which is bigger than Nanzhu. I also have a pair there. If you like it, let me know in a few days." The people at the bank will give you the right jewelry to wear."

The distraction of the Dielianhua that Yu Tang is wearing today has a dove egg-sized pearl in the middle, which is a newly made jewelry given to her by Pei Yan not long ago.

Hearing what the second wife said, she didn't take it too seriously and said with a smile: "I still have two unused ones. If you like them, go back and get them from me."

Miss Wu took a look at Yu Tang’s hair, no more, no less, just five dove egg-sized pearls. She thought that since she was young, three of them were enough, so she said: "Third aunt just gives me one, and I will put three beaded flowers like Third Aunt's."

Yu Tang Yanran said: "I will introduce you to the master who makes jewelry."

The fifth lady said hello repeatedly.

Gu Xi bit her lip from the side.

She suddenly realized that she did not make any mistakes today, but she had dressed herself up like Miss Fifth, an insignificant junior in a wealthy family, instead of a housewife who could be the master of the family.

Would it still leave a deep impression on others if we went to the Jiang family’s wedding banquet?

She should wear the ruby ​​​​hair set given to her by her sister-in-law Yin.

Gu Xi was hesitant to change clothes. A servant came in and asked them if they were ready. Pei Yan and the others were already preparing to go out.

Yu Tang said hello in succession, and Gu Xi had no chance to regret it, so he and Yu Tang sat on the sedan prepared for the female relatives, went straight out, and went with Pei Yan and others. Jiang family.

The Jiang family's wedding banquet was particularly lively, with more people coming than when the eldest daughter-in-law was married.

The Jiang family also had a purpose in doing this.

When I married the eldest daughter-in-law, because the eldest daughter-in-law’s family gave me a huge dowry, part of it was also specified to be used to support Jiang’s eldest son’s education. In other words, Jiang’s eldest son had the right to control. This is equivalent to the Wu family sending part of the money to the Jiang family.

There are some things that you don’t tell when you see through them.

Jiang Hua kept a low profile when his eldest son got married.

The reason why there is so much noise about the younger son's marriage is not because he particularly likes his younger son or is particularly satisfied with his younger son's marriage, but because he wants to join the cabinet and wants to take this opportunity to make friends with some officials who are not usually easy to get along with.

Jiang’s eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wu, also knew it, but she was still a little unbalanced in her heart.

Isn't the youngest's luck too good?

She held back her breath and helped her brother-in-law prepare for the wedding. It happened that at this time, her family brought her pretty sister over for the wedding banquet. She even said to her privately: "You should also watch over your sister." . If she can marry to the capital, you will also have a helper."

But if it was so easy for a wealthy family to marry in, why would their family have to pay so much dowry?

This made her extremely curious about Pei Yan's wife.

It's a pity that Pei Yan's status is such that his wife seems to be quite introverted. The few times she went out to socialize, she was a family friend related to the Li and Zhang families. Therefore, she specifically told her personal maid: " If Mrs. Pei’s third wife comes over, please remember to call me."

She really wanted to know what was so special about this Yu family that he could actually defeat her sister and marry into the Pei family.

Miss Wu came here with the intention of finding a better husband's family. When she learned that the Pei family would also come, the first thing she thought of was Gu Xi.

Gu Xi is quite nice to talk to. Now that she is in the capital, should she pay a visit to Gu Xi?

The person she was staring at this time was Gu Xi.

So when the female relatives of the Pei family arrived, they first attracted the eldest young lady of the Jiang family, and then Miss Wu.

Yu Tang also pays considerable attention to the eldest mistress of the Jiang family.

When the two met, Yu Tang thought he saw Wei Zi and Yao Huang, and Miss Jiang thought she saw a magnolia flower.

Wei Zi, Yao and Huang are beautiful and rich, and the magnolia is beautiful and translucent.

One thought, no wonder the Wu family could marry into the Jiang family, and the other thought, no wonder the Yu family fell in Pei Yan's eyes.

For a moment, the two of them looked at each other calmly and greeted each other politely. The eldest mistress of the Jiang family personally led them to sit with the other mistresses.

On the other hand, Miss Wu found an opportunity to bring a letter to Gu Xi, and the two met in Miss Wu's guest room.

"How have you been lately?" Miss Wu took Gu Xi's hand and said a little embarrassedly but with intention to make friends, "I guess I will stay in the capital. What about you? It's after accompanying you in the grand contest with my father-in-law. Besides, are you going to go back to Lin'an with the elders in your family after a while?"

Gu Xi thought that what Miss Wu meant by "staying in the capital" was that she wanted to marry in the capital, and with the Wu family's vision and ambition, she would definitely not marry her into an ordinary family with the intention of making friends, so she smiled and said : "Congratulations then. As for whether I can stay in the capital, it's hard to say for the moment. It would be great if I could catch up with your wedding."

Miss Wu blushed with embarrassment and changed the subject to ask what happened after Gu Xi left the cabinet.

Husbands and wives who don’t get along with each other also bully their neighbors.

This principle can also be applied to making friends.

Of course Gu Xi put everything in a good light.

Miss Wu's words gradually transferred to Yu Tang: "I didn't expect her mother to be quite low-key and give so much as a dowry. It's the first time in Lin'an City."

Gu Xi didn't want to say this and said calmly: "She is an only child, so she is different from us."

Miss Wu remembered something her family said and said: "Then do you know that their family's business is going to the capital, and it is said that the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce guaranteed it for her natal brother~IndoMTL.com ~Their family is going to be selected to customize a saving box for next year’s Longevity Festival, and this matter is quite a big deal.”

"There is such a thing!" Gu Xi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

Miss Wu said: "The Peng family and the Tao family didn't say anything this time. You also know that the lacquerware in Fujian and Guangdong is quite famous. In the past, the Peng family and the Tao family would recommend one or two. Yes, but he didn’t say anything this time, it must be for the sake of your Pei family. Their family is going to be prosperous!"

Her last words were a bit sour.

Gu Xi did not speak, but her heart felt as if she had swallowed a fly. She endured it again and again before she said anything to slander Yu Tang. But when she and Miss Wu walked out of Miss Wu's residence arm in arm, When she met Ms. Yin who was looking for her, she couldn't help it anymore. When Miss Wu was dragged by her family to greet others, she and Mrs. Yin complained about Yu Tang.

Yin's expression changed slightly when he heard this, but he was noncommittal.

Gu Xi felt angry and pushed her sister-in-law, who was a few years younger than herself, and said, "Tell me, she is not afraid that the Pei family will look down on her!"
