Holding high and stepping on low, Yu Tang can understand, but it doesn't mean that she has to have close contacts with such a person, not to mention that Pei Yan and Jiang Hua originally had contradictions, and the two families can take care of their feelings.

Therefore, when Yu Tang went to Jiang's house to drink the wine, it was also light.

It was Gu Xi, who followed Pei Tong to visit the Yang family during this time, and visited several of Pei You's friends before her death, and couldn't help but be a little moved, thinking that she would not offend the Pei family and still be able to stand on her own, but unfortunately she told her brother Gu Chang euphemistically, and was scolded by Gu Chang for not saying anything, and warned her: "Don't move during this time." I'm going to Hanlin Academy soon, the head of Hanlin Academy is Pei Xuan's mentor, and now we can't do without the protection of the Pei family. ”

Gu Xi was very depressed, feeling that Pei Tong was not self-motivated, why did her brother seem to have changed after marrying his sister-in-law.

She didn't know that Gu Chang was rejected by many people because of Sun Gao's affairs, and if he wanted to save his reputation, he could only rely on the trick of seeing people's hearts for a long time, but when he saw people's hearts for a long time, someone had to help him brag and someone protect him. He and the Yin family are already natural allies, and the Yin family will help him in the matter of establishing a name and virtue, but the premise of helping him is that he can stand on his own, and his performance during his tenure in the Hanlin Academy is particularly important.

Why should he let go of the Pei family's relationship and fight there silently?

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

Gu Xi felt that he might not be able to help his brother.

The last time Pei Xuan came back and got together with Pei Yan's two families for dinner, he didn't call them over.

But my brother has great hopes for the Pei family, and she is not good at pouring cold water.

Gu Xi responded absentmindedly, never giving up the idea of self-reliance in his heart.

She also paid special attention to the Jiang family's wedding banquet this time - Jiang Hua is the elder of the pavilion, and there is such a strong teacher as Zhang Ying, he marries a daughter-in-law, and all the officials who come and go are officials above the fourth grade, and most of the ladies are ladies, which is the highest standard 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 wives. But she knew the rules of the big family, so she sent someone early to inquire 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.

Yu Tang chose the moon-white Shu embroidered gown according to Pei Yan's words, wearing a pearl head, but those pearls with a big head like a pigeon egg, a small one like lotus seed rice, a jewel, extremely graceful, Gu Xi couldn't help but say: "The third uncle and aunt wear it like this, I'm afraid it's going to overwhelm the crowd." ”

To be a housewife, what you want is not gorgeous, but stable.

Gu Xi couldn't think about it.

Yu Tang glanced at her with a smile.

She wore a goose yellow Hangzhou silk gown today, wearing a lapis lazuli head, not to mention that she looked quiet and elegant, and it was especially suitable for the warm weather in early summer in the capital, which was very outstanding.

Gu Xi also knew that she was dressed very decently and could stand up to picky, and when she saw Yu Tang smiling at her, she smiled back at Yu Tang.

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

Qingyuan responded and left, but before he walked out of the hall, he saw the second lady wearing a royal blue vase eight-treasure pattern Hangzhou silk gown, wearing a gold-inlaid jade head and wearing a jade head and dancing gown, and the fifth lady wearing yellow stone jewelry appeared in front of the two of them one after another.

"Oops!" When the fifth lady saw Yu Tang, she trotted over, took her hand and looked at her jewelry, "This pearl is so big!" It's so beautiful! ”

The second wife was quite calm, walked over unhurriedly, and said with a smile: "Your third uncle and aunt are Dongzhu, which is older than Nanzhu, and I also have a pair there." If you like it, let the people in Yinlou give you the right jewelry to wear in a few days. ”

The distraction of the butterfly love flower that Yu Tang wore today, in the middle was a pigeon-egg-sized Dongzhu, which was the newly made jewelry that Pei Yan gave her not long ago.

Hearing what the second wife said, she didn't pay too much attention to it, and said with a smile: "I still have two useless ones there, if you like it, go back to me and get them." ”

The fifth lady looked at Yu Tang's head flower, no more, no less, exactly five pigeon eggs-sized Dongzhu. She thought that she was young, so it was enough to insert three flowers in this way, so she said: "The third uncle and mother will give me one, and I will play three pearl flowers like the third uncle." ”

Yu Tang Yanran and said, "I'll introduce you to the master of jewelry." ”

Miss Five even claimed to be good.

Gu Xi bit his lip beside him.

She suddenly realized that she was indeed not wrong today, but she dressed herself up as the same person as Miss Five, an inconsequential junior in a big family, rather than a housewife who could be the head of the house.

If you go to the Jiang family's wedding banquet, will you still be impressed?

She should have worn the ruby head that her sister-in-law Yin had given her.

Gu Xi hesitated whether to change his clothes, and a little servant came in and asked them if they were ready, Pei Yan and they were ready to go out.

Yu Tang responded in a few words, Gu Xi had no chance to regret it, so he had to sit in the sedan chair prepared for the female dependents with Yu Tang and Yu Tang, went out directly, and went to the Jiang family with Pei Yan and others.

The Jiang family's wedding feast was particularly lively, and there were more people than when they married their eldest daughter-in-law.

The Jiang family also had a useful purpose in doing this.

When marrying the eldest daughter-in-law, because the eldest daughter-in-law's family gave a huge amount of dowry, it was also pointed out that part of it was used to subsidize the Jiang family's son's study, that is to say, the Jiang family's son had the right to dominate, which was equivalent to the martial family sending part of the money to the Jiang family.

Some things are seen through but not said.

Jiang Hua was relatively low-key when his eldest son got married.

The youngest son's marriage is so noisy, not because he particularly likes his younger son or he is particularly satisfied with his youngest son's marriage, but because he wants to enter the cabinet and wants to take this opportunity to make friends with some officials who are not usually easy to get along with.

The Jiang family's daughter-in-law, Wu, also knew, but she was still a little unbalanced in her heart.

The old man's luck is too good, right?

She endured a breath to help her brother-in-law prepare for the wedding, and at this time, her family brought her glamorous sister over to drink the wedding wine, and said to her in private: "You also help your sister watch it." If she can marry in the capital, you also have a foil. ”

But if the wealthy family is so easy to marry, why should their family accompany so much dowry.

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

It's a pity that Pei Yan's identity and status are there, his wife seems to be quite introverted, and several times she goes out to socialize is a world friend related to the Li and Zhang families, so she specially told her personal maid: "If the third wife of the Pei family comes over, you remember to call me." ”

She really wanted to know what was so extraordinary about this Yu family, who could actually defeat her sister and marry into the Pei family.

Miss Wu also came this time with the intention of finding a better in-law, and when she learned that the Pei family would also come over, the first thing she thought of was Gu Xi.

Gu Xi is quite nice to talk about, since she has come to the capital, is she going to visit Gu Xi.

It was Gu Xi who made people stare at her this time.

So as soon as the daughters of the Pei family arrived, they first attracted the young grandmother of the Jiang family, and then attracted Miss Wu.

Yu Tang also paid attention to the Jiang family's eldest and youngest grandmother.

As soon as the two met, Yu Tang felt that he had seen Wei Zi Yao Huang, and Grandma Jiang Da felt that she had seen a magnolia flower.

Wei Ziyao is rich and beautiful, and magnolia flowers are beautiful.

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

For a while, the two of them looked at me, I looked at yours, but they were also calm and politely greeted each other, and the eldest and young grandmother of the Jiang family personally led them to sit with the other housewives.

It was Miss Wu who found an opportunity to bring a letter to Gu Xi, and the two met in the guest room where Miss Wu lived.

"How are you doing?" Miss Wu took Gu Xi's hand, a little embarrassed but said with the intention of making friends, "I guess I will stay in the capital." What about you? Will I accompany you to talk about it after the big competition, or will I return to Lin'an with the elders in the family after a while? ”

Gu Xi thought that Miss Wu's so-called "staying in the capital" should be to marry into the capital, and with the vision and ambition of the Wu family, she would definitely not marry her to an ordinary family, and she also had the meaning of making friends, so she smiled and said, "Congratulations." As for whether I can stay in the capital, it's hard to say for a while. It would be nice to be in time for your wedding. ”

Miss Wu blushed and changed the topic to ask about Gu Xi after he left the pavilion.

Husbands and wives do not get along with their neighbors and deceive.

The same can be said for making friends.

Of course, Gu Xi said everything in a good way.

Miss Wu's words gradually shifted to Yu Tang: "I didn't expect her mother to be quite low-key, and she gave so many dowries." It is also the first one in Lin'an City. ”

Gu Xi didn't want to say this, and said indifferently: "She is an only daughter, and she is different from us. ”

Miss Wu remembered what her family said, and said: "Then do you know that their family's business is going to be done in the capital, and it is said that the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce is guaranteeing her mother's brother, and their family is going to be selected to customize the box for next year's Halloween, which is quite a big trouble." ”

"And this kind of thing!" Gu Xi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Miss Wu said: "It is said that the Peng family and the Tao family did not come out to 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 families, but this time there was no silence, it must be for the sake of your Pei family's face." Their family is going to be developed! ”

Her last sentence was a little sour.

Gu Xi didn't speak, but her heart was as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly, and she endured it again and again, so she didn't say anything to slander Yu Tang, but when she and Miss Wu walked out of Miss Wu's residence hand in arm, and met the Yin family who was looking for her, she really couldn't help it, and when Miss Wu was pulled by her family to greet others, she and Yin complained about Yu Tang.

Yin's expression moved slightly when he listened, and he was noncommittal.

Gu Xi was angry in her heart, and pushed her sister-in-law, who was a few years younger than herself, and said, "You say, she is not afraid that the people of the Pei family will look down on her!" ”
