Chapter 353
Chapter 353 Wedding feast
It is understandable for Yu Tang to hold high and step low, but it does not mean that she has to keep close contact with such a family. Besides, Pei Yan and Jiang Hua have conflicts, and the two families can take care of their love.
Therefore, when Yu Tang went to Jiang’s house to have a wedding wine, he was also light.
Gu Xi, however, followed Pei Tong to visit the Yang family during this period and visited some of Pei You’s friends during his lifetime. She was a little moved. She wanted to not sin against Pei’s family, but also to stand on her own. Unfortunately, she tactfully talked to her brother. After Gu Chang said it, he was yelled at by Gu Chang not to say anything, and warned her: “Don’t mess around during this time. I’m going to the Hanlin Academy soon. The bachelor of the Hanlin Academy is Pei Xuan’s. Teacher, we can’t live without the shelter of Pei’s family now.”
Gu Xi was very depressed. He felt that Pei Tong was not self-motivated. After her brother married his sister-in-law, she seemed to have changed.
She didn’t know that Gu Chang was ostracized by many people because of Sun Gao’s affairs. He wanted to save his reputation and he could only rely on seeing people’s hearts for a long time. But as time went by, someone had to help him brag, and someone would protect him. he. He and the Yin family are already natural allies. The Yin family will help him in establishing a name and virtue, but the premise for helping him is that he can stand on his own, and his performance during his tenure in the Imperial Academy is extremely important.
Why should he let the Pei family’s relationship not be used, while he struggled silently there?
Gu Chang had to tell Gu Xi repeatedly.
Gu Xi felt that she might not be able to help her brother.
Last time Pei Xuan came back and gathered with Pei Yan and his family for dinner, they did not ask them to go there.
But my brother holds great hopes for Pei’s family, and she is not good at pouring cold water.
Gu Xi absently answered a few words, never giving up the idea of self-reliance in her heart.
She also paid special attention to the Jiang family’s wedding banquet this time—Jiang Hua is the old patron, and there is a strong teacher like Zhang Ying. He married his wife, and all his contacts were officials of Grade 4 or above, and most of them were among the female relatives. The damned lady is regarded as the highest standard banquet she can meet. She must seize the opportunity anyway to show her face in front of these ladies and wives. But she knew more about the rules of the big family, and sent someone early to find out what kind of clothes and jewellery Yu Tang, second wife, and fifth miss were going to wear.
According to what Pei Yan said, Yu Tang chose the moon-white Shu embroidered jewel, wearing a pearl head, but the pearl heads were as big as pigeon eggs, small as lotus seeds, jewels, and extremely graceful. Gu Xi looked at it. I couldn’t help saying: “The third aunt wears it like this, I’m afraid that it will be overwhelming.”
To be the mistress of the house, what you want is not gorgeous, but steady.
Gu Xi’s words can’t be considered.
Yu Tang glanced at her with a smile.
Today, she wore a goose-yellow silk clean face jacket with a lapis lazuli head and face. She looked quiet and elegant, but it was especially suitable for the warm weather in early summer in Beijing. It was very outstanding.
Gu Xi also knew that she was dressed decently and could stand the fuss. Seeing Yu Tang smiling at her, she returned Yu Tang with a smile.
Yu Tang didn’t care, and urged Qing Yuan next to him: “Go and see why the second wife hasn’t come yet?”
Qing Yuan went away, but before she left the hall, she saw the second wife wearing a royal blue aquarium with eight treasures pattern hanging silk jacket and wearing a gold-inlaid jade head and wearing a jade-green embroidered bee butterfly dancing with a jacket. Zi, Miss Five, wearing yellow stone jewelry, appeared in front of them one after another.
“Oh!” Miss Wu 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, came over without any hurries, and smiled: “Your third aunt is Dongzhu, which is bigger than Nanzhu. I also have a pair. If you like it, let the people from Yinlou in a few days I will give you the right jewellery.”
The distraction of the Dielianhua that Yu Tang is wearing today is a dove-egg-sized Dongzhu in the middle, which is a new jewelry that Pei Yan gave her not long ago.
Hearing what the second wife said, she didn’t take it too seriously, and smiled: “I also have two useless ones. If you like it, go back and get it from me.”
Miss Wu looked at Yu Tang’s head flower, no more, no less, just five Dongzhu the size of a pigeon egg. She thought that she was young, so it would be enough to put three flowers in this way, and then said: “Three aunts will give me one, and I will play three beaded flowers like three aunts.”
Yu Tang Yanran said, “I’ll introduce the jewelry master to you.”
Miss Fifth even claimed to be good.
Gu Xi bit her lip beside her.
She suddenly discovered that she did not make a mistake today, but she dressed herself as the same person as Miss Fifth, an insignificant junior in the family, rather than a housewife who could be the master of the house.
Would it leave a deep impression after going to the wedding banquet at Jiang’s family?
She should wear the ruby head set given to her by her sister-in-law Yin.
Gu Xi hesitated whether to change clothes. A small servant came in and asked if they were ready. Pei Yan and the others were ready to go out.
Yu Tang replied repeatedly, and Gu Xi had no chance to go back, so she and Yu Tang sat on the sedan chair prepared for the female families, went out directly, and went to the Jiang family with Pei Yan and others.
The Jiang family’s wedding feast was particularly lively, and more people came than when they were married to the first wife.
Jiang’s doing this is also of ulterior motives.
When marrying the eldest daughter-in-law, because the eldest daughter-in-law’s family gave a huge amount of money to dowry, it also pointed out that part of it was used to fund Jiang’s parents to study. That is to say, Jiang’s parents have the right to control, which is equivalent to The Wu family gave part of the money to the Jiang family.
Some things can’t be seen through.
Jiang Hua was relatively low-key when his eldest son was married.
The young son’s noisy marriage is not because he particularly likes the youngest son or the youngest son’s marriage and he is particularly satisfied, but because he wants to join the cabinet and wants to take this opportunity to make friends with officials who are not easy to communicate with.
Jiang’s parents’ daughter-in-law Wu also knew, but she was still a little unbalanced in her heart.
The youngest’s luck is too good, right?
She endured a sigh of relief and helped her uncle prepare for the wedding. At this time of her life, her family brought her beautiful and beautiful sister over to have a wedding wine. She also said to her privately, “You help your sister to watch. If she is If you can marry to the capital, you will also have a facilitator.”
But if the wealthy family is so easy to marry in, 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 a rather introverted temperament. She went out to socialize for several times with family acquaintances related to the Li and Zhang family. Therefore, she deliberately told the close maid: “If the third wife of Pei’s family is Come here, you remember to call me.”
She wanted to know what was so extraordinary about the Yu family, that she could beat her sister and marry to Pei’s house.
Miss Wu came this time with the intention of finding a better husband’s family. When she learned that people from Pei’s family would also come, the first thing she thought of was Gu Xi.
Gu Xi is a good-sounding person. Since she has come to the capital, shouldn’t she visit Gu Xi?
She was staring at Gu Xi this time.
So when the Pei family’s female relatives arrived, they first attracted the Jiang family’s grandmother, and then Ms. Wu.
Yu Tang also paid attention to the Jiang family’s grandmother.
When the two met, Yu Tang felt that she had seen Wei Zi Yaohuang, and Grandma Jiang felt that she had seen a magnolia flower.
Wei Zi Yao Huang Mei’s riches, the magnolia flower is beautiful and crystal clear.
One thought, no wonder this Wu family could marry to the Jiang family, and one thought, no wonder this Yu family could be in the eyes of Pei Yan.
For a while, the two of you looked at me, and I looked at you, but they were calm and polite to each other. The grandmother of the Jiang family personally led them to sit with the other mistresses.
It was Miss Wu, who took a chance 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 expressed a sense of intention to make friends, “I guess I will stay in the capital. What about you? Do you want to talk after the grandfather with you, or Will you return to Lin’an with the elders in your family after a while?”
Gu Xi thought that Miss Wu’s so-called “stay in the capital” should mean marrying to the capital, and with the vision and ambition of the Wu family, she would definitely not marry her to an ordinary family. She also meant to make friends, so she smiled and said: “Then Congratulations. As for whether I can stay in the capital, it’s hard to say for a while. It would be nice if I could catch up with your wedding.”
Miss Wu blushed, and changed the subject to ask about Gu Xi after she came out of the cabinet.
Husband and wife deceive their neighbors if they don’t.
This principle can also be used to make friends.
Of course, Gu Xi said everything for the better.
Miss Wu’s words gradually transferred to Yu Tang: “I didn’t expect her mother to be very low-key, so many dowry gifts. It is also the first one in Lin’an City.”
Gu Xi didn’t want to say this much, and said calmly: “She is the only child, different from us.”
Ms. Wu remembered something that her family had said, and said: “Then, do you know that their family’s business is coming to the capital, saying that it was the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce who gave her maiden brother a guarantee, and their family will be selected for the next year. It’s a box for the Longevity Day. This is a big deal.”
“There is such a thing!” Gu Xi couldn’t help but raised her eyebrows.
Miss Wu said: “It is said that the Peng family and the Tao family have not come out to say anything this time. As you know, the lacquerware of Fujian and Guangdong are quite famous. In the past, the Peng family and the Tao family would recommend one or two. But I didn’t say anything this time, it must be because of the face of your Pei family. Their family is going to be developed!”
Her last sentence was a bit sour.
Gu Xi did not speak, but her heart was as uncomfortable as if she swallowed a fly. After she endured and endured, she did not say anything to slander Yu Tang, but when she and Miss Wu walked out of Miss Wu’s residence arm in arm, they met Zheng Zheng The Yin clan who was looking for her couldn’t help it. When Miss Wu was dragged by her family to greet others, she and the Yin clan complained about Yu Tang.
Yin’s expression moved slightly as he listened, but he didn’t comment.
Gu Xi was angry and pushed her sister-in-law who was a few years younger than herself, and said, “You said, she is not afraid that people from Pei’s family will look down on her!”
