Chapter 1024: Official Wives
"Sister-in-law, where are you going?"
The tiger girl who was wearing fast catching clothes led Ali and the others out in a hurry, and happened to meet Wu Qiuyu, who was about to return to her parents' house by carriage, and asked with her big beautiful eyes suspiciously.
Wu Qiuyu smiled lightly, and replied with doting eyes: "I'll go back home, where are you going?" ”
"Xiaobai seems to have found a very bad person, I want to find out that person with Xiaobai and escort him to the government prison!" Hu Niu pointed to the pure white Tibetan mastiff behind her, and said seriously.
Oh......
Xiaobai barked softly at Wu Qiuyu, as if in response to Hu Niu's words.
Wu Qiuyu looked at this Tibetan mastiff like a small mountain and was a little stunned, and at first he was very worried that it would bite him, but after these days of contact, he found that Xiaobai was very spiritual and never hurt anyone.
"Sister-in-law, then I'll go first! If you're not at home today, then I won't go home at noon to eat with you, see you at dinner! After the tiger girl said hello, she led everyone to leave in a hurry.
Wu Qiuyu responded, and watched the figure of the tiger girl walk out of the alley happily.
If it was a few years ago, she would definitely be willing to follow the tiger girl to play on the street, or even help her catch the bad guys. It's just that she is now the mistress of the Lin family, but she bears a responsibility, and she is happy to do this role well.
It takes a while to get from Jintaifang to Dashi Yongfang from the north to the south of the city, and to bypass the Forbidden City in the center. When I returned to Huaishu Hutong, it was already morning.
"Why are you back?"
When Mrs. Wu saw her daughter, it was her first sentence, full of surprise and doubt. When Wu Qiuyu pulled her into the house to explain the situation, she was relieved.
Mrs. Wu is a warm-hearted woman, not to mention her own business. After she earnestly told Wu Qiuyu a few words, she didn't delay much and went directly to Guo's mansion.
Wu Qiuyu looked at her mother-in-law who was doing things strongly, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. These days, she is trying her best to play the role of the hostess of the Lin family, but she is actually under a lot of pressure, and she is currently under the wing of her mother, which makes her feel a burst of warmth.
Guo's mansion is nearby, but I don't know whether to miss the old or to show honesty, even if I am promoted to the secretary of the ministry, I still live in that ordinary house. Although the house is a little smaller, it is fully equipped and has a small back garden.
The two have always been in contact, so they and their subordinates seem to be very enthusiastic.
"Why don't you come over with advance notice, so that my sister can make more preparations!"
Mrs. Guo is about fifty years old, with the skeleton of a northern woman, but she is well maintained. Her temperament seemed to be very straightforward, and she greeted her very warmly, and said angrily to Mrs. Wu.
Although she is now the lady of the Ministry of Shangshu, when she intersected with Mrs. Wu, she did not mix too many interests at first, so she established the initial innocent friendship.
At present, although Wu Shan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has been "sitting" for almost six years, it seems hopeless to enter the cabinet. It's just that he presided over a session of the examination, and he is the editor-in-chief of "Talking about the Past and the Present", and he has an incomparable reputation in Shilin that Guo Pu has.
Mrs. Wu pointed to Wu Qiuyu behind her, and introduced it lightly: "Qiuyu came back today, I thought about not seeing you for a while, so I brought her to see you!" ”
"I've seen Aunt Guo!" Wu Qiuyu grasped the opportunity and stepped forward to salute.
Mrs. Guo's eyes fell on Wu Qiuyu, and naturally knew that Wu Qiuyu had married another woman, and looked at Wu Qiuyu, who was more and more charming and moving, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen Qiuyu for a few days, this married person is different, and the whole person is more charming!" ”
is different from the thin young lady in the past, she has indeed grown some flesh, and her chest is magically bulging together, transforming from a young girl to a charming young woman.
Wu Qiuyu's thin skin didn't change much, and her pretty face turned red, but she was still able to keep her calm and salute back: "Thank you, Aunt Guo, for your compliment!" ”
If this kind of thing had been done before, she would have been too shy to do it, and I am afraid that she would have to use Miss Guo as an excuse to escape from this kind of ridicule. It's just that at the moment, she remembers that she is the lady of the Lin family, and thinking about Hu Niu's brave deeds, she has more courage in her heart.
Mrs. Guo watched Wu Qiuyu grow up when she was a child, so she naturally knew what kind of character she was, and she also liked to "tease" her. Just seeing Wu Qiuyu's reaction like this, he glanced at Wu Qiuyu in surprise, and glanced at Mrs. Wu.
Mrs. Wu was also surprised by her daughter's performance, but she was more proud in her heart, and the three women walked towards the back house.
Guo Pu is now the secretary of the ministry, and he is in the period of presiding over the external inspection, so this Guo Mansion is naturally not quiet. Here in the inner house, Mrs. Guo already has two guests.
"This is Mrs. Gao, you've seen it!" Mrs. Guo enthusiastically introduced.
The so-called Mrs. Gao is the wife of Gao Yao, the secretary of the household department of the dynasty. When Gao Yao took over as the head of the household department, most people in the capital were not optimistic, thinking that he would not survive for three months.
It's just that nearly a year has passed, and Gao Yao is still sitting firmly in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, which makes the officials in the capital inevitably look at him with admiration.
Of course, Gao Yao was not from the Hanlin Academy after all, so the head of the household was already at the end of the book, and he was not allowed to enter the cabinet for the rest of his life, so his status was naturally inferior to that of Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Guo.
"Mrs. Gao, don't come unharmed!" Mrs. Wu was not familiar with Mrs. Gao, but greeted her cordially.
Mrs. Gao naturally did not dare to hold a high posture, and responded modestly.
"This is the wife of the new Taichang Shaoqing Lord Xu, her family is just the second assistant of the dynasty, Xu Ge, you are still neighbors!" Mrs. Guo pointed to a young woman and introduced it seriously.
"I've seen Mrs. Wu!" Mrs. Xu looked a little anxious, and hurriedly saluted.
Although she is the daughter-in-law of the second assistant of the dynasty, her husband Xu is a cute person, and she has only served as Shang Baocheng of the sixth grade for so many years, so she is not qualified to be active in the circle of the official wife, let alone squeeze into the Guo Mansion.
It's just that at the moment, her husband is reused by the saint and has successfully completed the rebuilding of the Wanshou Palace, and now she is appointed as the Taichang Shaoqing of the fourth grade, which makes her status also rise.
It is with this extra capital that she has been very active in the circle of the official wife of the capital in the past few days, and plans to establish her network of contacts and become an enviable official wife of the capital.
"I just prepared some refreshments, let's go to the flower hall and talk!" After Mrs. Guo introduced the two official wives, she warmly invited.
Wu Qiuyu was secretly cheering on the side, and she was ready to appear as Mrs. Lin, but she didn't know whether it was habit or deliberate coldness, but Mrs. Guo did not introduce her to these two official wives, so she led everyone towards the flower hall.
