Delicate Flower Chapter 354: Maintain
After hearing Gu Xi's words, Mrs. Yin frowned and said with some displeasure: "What is there about her that can be looked down upon? Isn't the purpose of marriage just to help each other? If the Pei family doesn't help the Yu family, then they will Are you looking down on me? Hello, me, everyone, how are you? Would the Yu family be a fool if they didn’t seize this opportunity?"
Seeing that her sister-in-law didn't agree with her point of view, Gu Xi wanted to have a good talk with her, but then she thought about it, her family's marriage to the Yin family meant to take advantage of the Yin family, maybe her sister-in-law He took her words into his heart and took over the matter of the marriage between the Gu and Yin families. He hurriedly hid his little thoughts in his heart and said with a smile: "I think it's a waste of time to kill the chicken with a knife. Let the Pei family This person is overqualified for such a favor." Then he quickly changed the subject and said with a smile: "Who is my sister-in-law with? Mrs. Yin? She has been visiting Pei's house every day during this period, and she is quite close to our family. ”
Speaking of this sister-in-law who was pregnant as soon as she entered the house, Mrs. Yin was very satisfied and had some respect. When she heard this, her face lit up and she said with a smile: "No. I just came over and I will go to Mrs. Zhang and Li first." Madam said hello and was about to go see my sister-in-law! You came earlier than me. Have you seen my sister-in-law? I haven't seen her in some days. She must have a bigger belly, right? I'm still planning to wait for her. When she gave birth, she went there with Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li to watch over her! I don’t know whether her baby was a son or a daughter. If it was a daughter, she would be the third in our generation. If it was a son, she would be the first. No matter. Whether it’s a son or a daughter, both are very rare.”
She was chattering, obviously very happy about Xu Xuan's pregnancy.
Gu Xi didn't want to talk to her about Yu Tang, so she naturally followed Yin's instructions.
The two were chatting and laughing, and Yin and her went to the flower hall where they entertained distinguished guests.
At a glance, Gu Xi saw Yu Tang and the second wife sitting together with several bejeweled women.
She originally looked a little too gorgeously dressed alone, but in comparison, she turned out to be quite fresh and quiet.
Very consistent with her age and status.
I didn’t expect that Yu Tang wouldn’t show timidity on such occasions.
Is this still the girl from Lin'an city?
Gu Xi was in a daze.
She seemed to have never seen Yu Tang lose his sense of proportion.
In the past in Lin'an, although her dress was not outstanding, she was never rude. Now that I have come to the capital, it is the same... It seems that when I encounter the strong, I will become strong, and when I encounter the weak, I will become weak, and I will never go wrong.
Gu Xi's eyes were complicated, but in her ears, Mrs. Yin's voice recommended her: "This is my sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, this is Mrs. Zhang, and this is Mrs. Li, they are both your elders."
I highly praise Gu Xi.
One of the purposes of Gu Xi's visit was to impress women like Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li. Wherever he could think about Yu Tang, he immediately restrained himself and concentrated on talking to the two ladies. Say hello.
Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li have always taken care of their shortcomings. In addition to being the eldest mistress of the Pei family, Gu Xi is also the sister-in-law of the Yin family. Both of them are very kind to Gu Xi. Mrs. Li even teases the Yin family with a smile: "Are you afraid of us?" Is it okay to bully your sister-in-law? She just came over with the second wife and third wife of the Pei family to say hello to us. We recognize her."
After hearing this, Mrs. Yin smiled coquettishly and said, "Aren't I afraid that you will forget?"
They are all first-class wives, especially Mrs. Zhang. In addition to her royal title, she is also quite old and highly respected in the aristocratic family circle in the capital. Every time she goes out to socialize, she doesn’t know how many daughters-in-law and girls from other families come to visit her. Not everyone remembers her greetings and hello.
But Gu Xi is from the Pei family, and Pei Yan is helping the Zhang family, how could she not remember? Since Yin Shi brought her here specially, she had to give Gu Xi some face no matter what. She answered Yin's words with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, I won't forget. I know she is your sister-in-law, the eldest mistress of the Pei family, and she is a good and docile child."
Yin laughed happily.
Gu Xi took the opportunity to take the teapot from the maid's hand and refill the tea for the two ladies.
Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li smiled and nodded, looking at her with loving eyes.
Someone came over to greet Gu Xi: "Niece-in-law!"
Gu Xi turned around and found Pei Tong's eldest aunt, Mrs. Yang, and second aunt, Mrs. Yang, standing behind her with smiles on their face, looking at her.
I forgot about the two uncles and wives of the Yang family.
Gu Xi tried her best not to show any signs of strangeness, and smiled as she stepped forward and saluted the two ladies of the Yang family.
Mrs. Yang took the opportunity to hold Gu Xi's hand and greeted Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li with a smile.
Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li also smiled and exchanged greetings with the two ladies of the Yang family, looking peaceful. However, Gu Xi still noticed sensitively that the attitudes of Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li were much more distant than before. few.
Isn’t it said that the Yang family is very prestigious among the officials in the capital?
Gu Xi sneered in her heart and tried to pull away the hand held by Mrs. Yang, but failed several times.
As if she didn't feel it, Mrs. Yang took her to Yu Tang and the second wife, and greeted them warmly: "Second wife, third wife, it's been a long time!"
Yu Tang was listening carefully to the conversation between the second wife and Qin Wei's wife, when she heard someone saying hello, and all three of them looked up.
"Oh, Mrs. Qin is here too!" Mrs. Yang was a little surprised, but she thought it was reasonable.
Qin Wei was previously the Chief Minister of Zhejiang, and was later transferred to the Ministry of Rites. Even if he had no contact with the second wife of the Pei family in the past, Pei Xuan would continue to have this good relationship after he became the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Mrs. Qin smiled and said a few polite words to Mrs. Yang. Mrs. Yang focused her attention on Yu Tang and said, "Third Mrs., our A Tong and his wife are under your care. I'm so grateful." Yes. I used to have something to do at home, so I had no time to spare, and I didn’t go to visit. Now I finally have some free time. I wonder if the third wife is free, so I can go to the house for a drink with the second wife. Tea and a light meal?"
The villain in Yu Tang’s heart smiled disdainfully.
I really care about the Pei family, how come I can't spare the time.
How come the people from the Zhang family are free to pick them up?
Yu Tang also smiled softly and said softly: "We just arrived in the capital, and our eyes were darkened. We didn't take the initiative to greet the old man and the old lady. We were already very uneasy. How can we have the nerve to let you go and greet us? ! Two days ago, I was discussing with my second sister-in-law how to go and say hello to my in-laws’ old lady when I have free time. Now that the eldest lady has mentioned it, it’s better to choose a day than to hit it. Let’s see which day this month everyone has. It’s empty, what do you think?”
Mrs. Yang repeatedly said good to her and made an appointment to entertain the Pei family members at home in five days before dragging Gu Xi away.
Gu Xi didn't want to follow Mrs. Yang, but she didn't want to serve Yu Tang and the second wife here with a low eyebrow. After thinking about it, she still followed Mrs. Yang.
Mrs. Pei Er whispered to Yu Tang: "Are you really going to their house as a guest?"
Their sisters-in-law got along very well during this period, mainly because Yu Tang's personality got along well with the second wife's. Neither of them was the kind of person who liked to make trouble, and they didn't like to forcefully make friends with people who didn't get along well. The home is therefore relatively quiet.
Yu Tang whispered back to the second wife: "There are people everywhere here. If we say whether to go or not, there will definitely be a lot of rumors. It is better to agree to her and send her away early. As for whether to go or not, tomorrow We just sent someone to tell us that something was going on that day and I was afraid we couldn’t go, so we would make the appointment another day. When we change the date, it would depend on whether both of us have free time.”
This is such a bummer.
But dealing with the Yang family, such scoundrels made Mrs. Pei Er very happy.
She covered her mouth and smiled, and said to Yu Tang: "Your method is better. Why didn't I think of it before?"
When Mrs. Yang went to Lin'an as a guest, she liked to force her like this. She couldn't refuse, so she had to endure and retreat again and again, including Mrs. Pei, which was the same when the two sisters-in-law were together. At that time, she had just married, and Mrs. Pei had Pei You to support her, so she shed a lot of tears behind her back.
At this point I finally felt a little proud.
Yu Tang also pursed his lips and smiled.
When Mrs. Qin saw their sisters-in-law whispering something, she was embarrassed to ask what they were talking about. Someone happened to come to say hello to her, so she started talking about her parents to others.
Mrs. Pei Er gave Yu Tang a wink, and the two found an opportunity to run to the corner of the yard to talk.
"What do you think of the Qin family?" The second wife asked Yu Tang softly, "Mrs. Qin intends to marry her eldest son."
Yu Tang was shocked.
She had been thinking about the fifth young lady's marriage before, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.
"I don't know the Qin family very well." Yu Tang said solemnly, "However, Mr. Qin once served as an official in Zhejiang, which is better. You can entrust reliable people to inquire about the eldest son of the Qin family. What is his character and temperament like? As for Mr. Qin, you have to ask your second uncle. As for Mrs. Qin, you also need to find someone to inquire."
Mrs. Pei Er nodded and told her: "This matter is just a rumor~IndoMTL.com~Don't tell it out yet. You must help me lead Adan later. Even if the marriage fails, don't let anyone Look down on it."
"I know." Yu Tang was very grateful for the second wife's trust in him. After returning, he led Pei Dan with good eyesight. Fortunately, Pei Dan was originally a shy little girl, quiet and docile. , not only is it not difficult to take her with you, but you can also enjoy Pei Dan's filial piety from time to time - refill her tea, fork some fruit, get some snacks and so on.
The more Mrs. Qin looks at it, the more she likes it.
Their family is not a particularly prestigious family, so they do not want to marry a wife who is too strong. In addition, the Pei family is famous for being able to read, so they will definitely give birth to smart grandsons.
She wanted to talk to the second wife and third wife of the Pei family to deepen their relationship, but she herself was entangled by people from the Wu family, and the two wives from the Pei family were entangled by people from the Yang family, which made She tried several times to talk to the two wives of the Pei family but failed.
Mrs. Qin felt a little annoyed.
Mrs. Pei Er and Yu Tang were even more impatient.
Having agreed to visit the Yang family, why is Mrs. Yang still holding them back?
