On the day of the confession, Ning Guofu and the Wang family came to congratulate them, and the Chen family came to say goodbye in person, and also brought Wang Xifeng.

That Wang Xifeng was young, so Xing Shuang asked her to take Yingchun and others to play by herself, and solemnly made a ceremony with the Zhen family here, and brought Zhen Yinglian to worship her godmother, which can be regarded as a courtesy.

After the ceremony was completed, Zhen Yinglian changed her name to Xing Shuang's godmother, and also called Jia Liang's godfather. Jia Liang and Xing Shuang's side naturally changed their names to brothers with Zhen Shiyin's family.

Because he was so confused before, he didn't feel embarrassed, but when he came to Jia's mother's side, the Feng family couldn't call the godmother, and he still only called the old lady.

Zhen Shiyin's family has also been in Beijing for some time, and now that the ceremony has passed, they are homesick. So after staying for a few more days, Zhen Shiyin proposed to leave, and Jia Liang and Xing Shuang persuaded them twice to persuade them not to move, so they began to work for Zhen Shiyin's family.

During the dotting period, Feng and Xing Shuang were taken out by Jia's mother a few times, but they got to know a lot of people. Xing Shuang's reputation is already good outside, and when he sees the real person, many people feel that the rumor is not much different from his own, so there are really many noble ladies who have made friends with him.

On this day, Zhen Shiyin's family was sent away, and Milan came in and handed over the post, saying that it was the fiftieth birthday of Lord Wu, the head of the household department.

Wu Minzhi has only been in office for a few years, and now he is the right-hand man of the saint, because Jia Liang has reversed his reputation a lot after he was socializing outside, and this began to come and go with the Jia family.

Now that they have come and gone, the relationship between the two families has reached the stage where they can visit each other, and such a post is naturally to be responded to.

Xing Shuang first asked people to go back to Jia's mother, and then ordered Hanxiao to go through the box to find a congratulatory gift, but Hanxiao didn't come back, and Jia's mother sent someone over, saying that she wanted Xing Shuang to come over.

Xing Shuang was sent to the other side of the rack, and before she entered the house and sat down, she heard Jia's mother say: "You are becoming more and more lazy now, and since you have been exempted from your invitation, you can't come if you can." ”

Xing Shuang hurriedly cheered up and said with a smile: "Look at what the old lady said, I just came to have dinner with the old lady yesterday, and I don't remember it in a blink of an eye." ”

Jia Mu couldn't hold back, and said with a smile: "Confused things, how can anyone take a private gift by himself." You should be alone in this relationship? This is the favor of our Rongguo Mansion, why bother to find a congratulatory gift yourself. ”

After that, the maids brought the tray and sent it to Xing Shuang, who then understood what was going on.

"The old lady scared me, and the daughter-in-law really annoyed the old lady, and she was thinking about how to make amends."

Jia Mu said: "It's not that I saw the boss go to the suburbs, I'm afraid that you will be bored, so I let you move around more." Now that he is gone, you have to leave the relationship, so you have to be more vigilant. Those people outside, although they look polite, they have to chew their tongues behind their backs, when you encounter this kind of thing, don't go to your heart, just tell me when you come back after being wronged, I have my own way to be angry for you. ”

Xing Shuang also knew that the reputation of this Rongguo Mansion outside was actually not very good, although those pickled things had not yet been exposed, but because the second room had slandered the big house outside, it was not much trouble for him to go out here.

Although she felt that this was a good opportunity to wash her name, she couldn't help but be a little scared because of her big belly, so she said to Jia's mother: "Why don't you go with the old lady?" ”

When Jia Mu heard this, she immediately glared at Xing Shuang with hatred, if it weren't for the old family's still pregnant, she really wanted to slap her.

"Look, you're confused again, aren't you? Although it is a social event of Rongguo Mansion, what is the matter if I go? Our family is different from others, so how early and late did the officials come to visit Rongguo Mansion? Why should you? Isn't it a different identity? Only if you go, it can also be regarded as a personal relationship, once I also go, it is a public friendship, you are not afraid of people talking, and you have to bear the burden of people's hearts. ”

Xing Shuang understood after just thinking about it, and immediately sat there and bowed her head as a salute, and reflected: "The daughter-in-law has been taught, what the old lady said is that if you want to come to the Wang family and have an in-law with us, and you have a similar status, you can invite the old lady to come to the door." ”

Jia Mu smiled and nodded: "It's good that you understand it, I can't take you with me this time, and the boss is not here, you have to be careful." ”

Xing Shuang responded, and let people take the congratulatory gift back to the East Courtyard.

A few days later, Xing Shuang went out to Wu's house with Milan with a smile, and only after entering the house and sitting down, many official wives came to say hello. Xing Shuang really realized the power of the four major families, although the reputation of Rongguo Mansion has become stinky, but when it is really time to stutter, no one will lag behind.

Among the wives in this room, she is the youngest, but she has the highest grade, and the lady of the household department is only from the rank of the first grade, and she is also one level behind herself.

But Xing Shuang didn't put on a show at all, smiled and talked to others, and when someone saluted, she also stood up and returned the salute, which made people have a great impression of her for a while.

Originally, I heard that the eldest lady of Rongguo Mansion was a powerful person, and everyone was only regarded as a strong and inward-looking person, but when I really saw her again, I felt that she was kind and very close, so many official wives were willing to talk to her.

After going back and forth to talk about the gossip in Beijing, a wife suddenly leaned over and asked Xing Shuang in a low voice: "I heard that the eldest brother of your mansion has made a marriage with Li Sai Restaurant, I don't know what day it is set?" ”

Xing Shuang was stunned, and calculated in her heart, Jia Zhu's birthday will be in two months, and she will be fifteen years old, but isn't it time to get married?

"The exact date hasn't been set yet, but you're well informed." Xing Shuang said politely, and saw the lady laugh.

Someone next to him laughed and said, "Madame is afraid that she doesn't know that she and the eldest lady of Li Sai Restaurant are siblings." ”

Xing Shuang sighed, turned her head to look at the person, and saw that she looked pretty good, nodded with a smile: "This capital is not big, you can meet relatives everywhere, right?" ”

"Isn't it?" The people around laughed, and someone said: "Speaking of relatives, my family sent some palace flowers the day before yesterday, saying that the imperial merchant seems to be a relative of your second wife." ”

Xing Shuang smiled faintly: "Are you talking about the Jinling Xue family?" I heard that his ancestors were from Ziwei She, right? ”

That person deliberately talked about the imperial merchant Xue family at this time, which was not a sign of friendship. This merchant family has always had a low status, although the ancestor of the Xue family is a Ziwei Sheren, but after all, it is not as good as the princes and nobles. In fact, there are no dignitaries who are willing to associate with businessmen, otherwise why did Xue Baochai originally want to go to Beijing to be a princess to study, but in the end there was no follow-up?

can be a princess's companion, not to mention that it has to be a third-grade official, the Xue family is just an imperial businessman, where can he have this ability. No matter how rich the Xue family is, it will not be in the eyes of these official wives. Now that I'm being taken out to talk about things, I'm afraid it's not a good stubble.
