After hearing Gu Xi's words, Mrs. Yin frowned and said with some displeasure: "What is there about her that people can look down upon? Isn't marriage just for helping each other? If the Pei family doesn't help the Yu family, people will look down on her. Hello, how are you, everyone? Is the Yu family a fool not to seize this opportunity?"

Seeing that her sister-in-law disagreed with her point of view, Gu Xi wanted to have a good talk with her, but then she thought that the marriage between their family and the Yin family was a bit of taking advantage of the Yin family. Maybe her sister-in-law took her words to heart and substituted the matter of the marriage between the Gu and Yin families. She quickly hid her little thoughts in her heart and said with a smile: "I think it's a waste of talent to kill a chicken with a sledgehammer. It's a bit of a waste of talent to ask the people of the Pei family to help with this." Then she quickly changed the subject and said with a smile: "Who is my sister-in-law with? Mrs. Yin? She has been visiting the Pei family every day recently, and she is quite close to our family."

Speaking of this sister-in-law who got pregnant right after she entered the house, Yin was very satisfied and even had some respect for her. Her face brightened up when she heard this and she smiled, "No. I just came here and greeted Madam Zhang and Madam Li first. I was just about to go see my sister-in-law! You came earlier than me. Did you see my sister-in-law? I haven't seen her for a while. Her belly should be bigger, right? I was also planning to wait for her to give birth and then go over with Madam Zhang and Madam Li to watch over her! I don't know if this baby is a son or a daughter. If it's a daughter, she'll be the third in our generation, and if it's a son, she'll be the first. Whether it's a son or a daughter, it's very rare."

She kept talking a lot and was obviously very happy about Xu Xuan's pregnancy.

Gu Xi didn't want to tell her about Yu Tang, so he naturally agreed with Yin.

The two chatted and laughed, and Yin went with her to the flower hall for entertaining distinguished guests.

Gu Xi immediately saw Yu Tang and the Second Wife sitting together with several women dressed in jewels, jade and silk.

She, who originally looked a little too gorgeously dressed, actually looked quite fresh and simple in comparison.

It is very suitable for her age and status.

I didn't expect Yu Tang to be so timid in such an occasion.

Is this still the girl from the market town of Lin'an?

Gu Xi was a little dazed.

She seemed to have never seen Yu Tang lose his composure.

In Lin'an before, although her dress was not outstanding, she never behaved impolitely. Now that she came to the capital, she was still the same... It was as if she would be strong when facing a strong opponent and weak when facing a weak opponent, and she would never make mistakes.

Gu Xi's eyes were complicated, but she could hear Yin's voice recommending her: "This is my aunt. Aunt, this is Madam Zhang, and this is Madam Li, they are all your elders."

Very respectful to Gu Xi.

One of the purposes of Gu Xi's visit was to leave a deep impression on women like Madam Zhang and Madam Li. He had no time to think about Yu Tang. He immediately gathered his thoughts and greeted the two ladies with full concentration.

Madam Zhang and Madam Li have always been protective of their own shortcomings. Besides being the eldest young lady of the Pei family, Gu Xi is also Yin's sister-in-law. Both of them are very kind to Gu Xi. Madam Li even joked with Yin with a smile: "Are you afraid that we will bully your sister-in-law? She just came over with the second and third wives of the Pei family to greet us. We recognize them."

Yin smiled coquettishly and said, "I am afraid that you will forget it, right?"

They were all ladies of the second rank, especially Madam Zhang. In addition to the imperial edict, she was also quite old and highly respected in the aristocratic circles in the capital. Every time she went out for social events, there were countless daughters-in-law and girls who came to greet her and say hello. She really didn't remember all of them.

But Gu Xi was from the Pei family, and Pei Yan was working for the Zhang family, so how could she not remember? In this case, Yin had brought her here on purpose, so she had to give Gu Xi some face no matter what. She smiled and continued Yin's words: "Don't worry, don't worry, I won't forget. I know she is your sister-in-law, the eldest young lady of the Pei family, and a gentle and good child."

Yin giggled.

Gu Xi took the opportunity to take the teapot from the maid and refilled the tea for the two ladies.

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li smiled and nodded, looking at her with loving eyes.

Someone came over and greeted Gu Xi: "Niece-in-law!"

Gu Xi turned around and found that Pei Tong's eldest aunt, Mrs. Yang, and second aunt, Mrs. Yang, were standing behind her, looking at her with smiles on their faces.

I forgot about the two aunts of the Yang family.

Gu Xi tried hard not to show any strange expression, and walked forward with a smile and bowed to the two wives of the Yang family.

Mrs. Yang took the opportunity to pull Gu Xi's hand and greeted Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li with a smile.

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li also greeted the two wives of the Yang family with a smile, and they all looked peaceful. However, Gu Xi was still sensitive to the fact that the attitudes of Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li were much more distant than before.

Isn’t it said that the Yang family is very prestigious among the officials in the capital?

Gu Xi sneered in his heart and tried to pull his hand away from Madam Yang, but he failed after trying several times.

Madam Yang seemed to be unaware of what was happening. She took her to Yu Tang and the Second Madam and greeted them warmly: "Second Madam, Third Madam, long time no see!"

Yu Tang was listening attentively to the conversation between the Second Wife and Qin Wei's wife. When they heard someone greeting them, all three of them looked over.

"Oh, Mrs. Qin is here too!" Mrs. Yang was a little surprised, but she felt it was reasonable.

Qin Wei previously served as the governor of Zhejiang Province, and was later transferred to the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites. Even if Qin Wei had no contact with the second wife of the Pei family before, he would have continued this relationship after Pei Xuan became the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Mrs. Qin smiled and exchanged a few polite words with Mrs. Yang, who then turned her attention to Yu Tang and said, "Third Madam, our family's Atong and his wife are very grateful for your care. Before, we were busy with one thing or another, so we didn't go to visit them. Now that we are finally free, I wonder if Third Madam is free to go home with Second Madam for a cup of tea and a simple meal?"

The villain in Yu Tang's heart laughed disdainfully.

If you really care about the Pei family, how could you not spare the time?

How come the Zhang family has time to welcome them?

Yu Tang also smiled softly, and said gently, "We just arrived in the capital, and we are completely clueless. We didn't take the initiative to greet the old lady and the old lady in law, and we are already very uneasy. How can we have the nerve to ask you to greet us! I was discussing with my second sister-in-law two days ago that we would go to greet the old lady in law when we are free. Since the eldest lady has mentioned it, it is better to do it now than to choose a day. Let's see which day this month everyone is free. What do you think?"

Mrs. Yang agreed and made an appointment to host a banquet for the female members of the Pei family at home in five days. Then she took Gu Xi away.

Gu Xi was unwilling to follow Madam Yang, but he was even more unwilling to serve Yu Tang and the Second Madam here with his head bowed. After thinking about it, he decided to follow Madam Yang.

Mrs. Pei whispered to Yu Tang, "Are you really going to visit their home?"

The sisters-in-law got along very well during this period, mainly because Yu Tang's personality was compatible with the Second Wife. Neither of them was the kind of person who liked to make a fuss, and they didn't like to force themselves to be friends with people they didn't get along with, so the home was relatively quiet.

Yu Tang whispered to the second wife, "There are people everywhere here. If we say we won't go, there will definitely be a lot of rumors. It's better to agree to her and get rid of her early. As for whether to go or not, we will send someone to tell her tomorrow and say that we have something to do that day and may not be able to go. We will make an appointment for another day. When to reschedule it depends on whether both of us have time."

This is really outrageous.

But when it comes to the Yang family, this kind of roguery makes Mrs. Pei very happy.

She covered her mouth and laughed, and said to Yu Tang: "Your method is still the best. Why didn't I think of it before?"

When Madam Yang visited Lin'an, she liked to force her like this. She had no way to refuse, so she had to give in again and again, including Madam Pei. This was also the case when the two sisters-in-law were together. At that time, she had just married, and Madam Pei had Pei You to support her. She shed a lot of tears behind people's backs.

At this point I finally felt a little proud.

Yu Tang also smiled.

Mrs. Qin heard the sisters-in-law whispering a few words, but she was too embarrassed to ask what they were talking about. Someone happened to come to greet her, so she started talking about her parents to others.

Mrs. Pei gave Yu Tang a look, and the two of them 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 is interested in finding a wife for her eldest son."

Yu Tang was shocked.

She had been wondering where the Fifth Miss's marriage would be, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.

"I don't know much about the Qin family either." Yu Tang said solemnly, "However, Lord Qin once served as an official in Zhejiang, which is a good thing. I can ask a reliable person to find out about the character and temperament of the eldest son of the Qin family. As for Lord Qin, I have to ask my second uncle. As for Madam Qin, I have to ask someone too."

Mrs. Pei nodded and warned her: "This is just a rumor, don't tell anyone yet. You must help me take care of A Dan later. Even if the marriage fails, don't let others look down on you."

"I understand." Yu Tang was very grateful for the second wife's trust in him. After returning, he took Pei Dan with him. Fortunately, Pei Dan was originally a shy girl, quiet and gentle. It was not only not difficult to take her with him, but he could also enjoy Pei Dan's filial piety from time to time - refilling tea, picking up some fruit, getting some snacks and so on.

The more Mrs. Qin looked at it, the more she liked it.

Their family was not a particularly prestigious one, so they did not want to marry a daughter-in-law who was too powerful. In addition, the Pei family was famous for being well-educated, so they would definitely give birth to smart grandsons.

She wanted to talk to the second and third wives of the Pei family to deepen their relationship, but she was entangled by the people of the Wu family, and the two wives of the Pei family were entangled by the people of the Yang family, so she tried several times to talk to the two wives of the Pei family but failed.

Mrs. Qin was a little upset.

Mrs. Pei and Yu Tang became even more impatient.

They had already agreed to visit the Yang family, so why was Mrs. Yang still holding on to them?
