The eldest princess was very open-minded. When she received invitations from various households, she would tell the female relatives about the situation of each household.
"Since my two older brothers are not in the capital, they are naturally at a disadvantage in terms of status."
Otherwise, the visiting card sent would not have come from a minor official of the fifth or sixth rank.
If we set aside the issue of family ties, I would guess that the reason people are posting these messages now is because each family wants to arrange marriages for their younger members.
"The children of our Zhao family are all exceptional individuals; I think they're trying to reserve them in advance."
Princess Yan Yue said with a smile.
Zhao Qingyi shook her head repeatedly.
"My six-pound children are still young. Who knows whose daughter they'll fall for when they grow up?"
Third Aunt, how about we skip this banquet?
Zhao Qingyi used a questioning tone.
She was indeed unfamiliar with the small area of the capital and was afraid of causing trouble for her third uncle and aunt.
Liu Xiaohua and Zhang Cuicui nodded in unison, like chicks pecking at rice.
"Yes, we are all from the countryside. Most of the women we associate with in the area are of lower rank than the women in my family, Qingshan."
Her behavior and mannerisms are certainly different from those of the wives of officials in the capital.
"If I actually go to that damn banquet, it would be embarrassing if I made a fool of myself."
Liu Xiaohua said.
Yan Yue smiled faintly.
"You don't need to think too much about it. Going out to take a look and join in the fun is fine. Just think of it as strolling around the park."
I've heard that the garden of the Vice Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices is quite elegant, with its small bridges and flowing water. I'll go take a look and relax.
Sooner or later, my elder brother and nephews will also be going to the capital. Why don't you women go ahead and help them familiarize themselves with the surroundings?"
The women looked at each other, asking, "Is this feasible?"
Once they entered the capital and began their "Lady's Diplomacy," they couldn't stay idle.
The women of the Zhao family have been extremely busy lately, but they've noticed that their wallets are shrinking very quickly.
To attend an event, one must dress up formally, and these dresses and jewelry must be updated in real time.
If I go to the Zhang family this time and then go to the Li family next time wearing the same clothes, I'm very likely to be laughed at.
To put it nicely, it's thrifty; to put it bluntly, it's considered a sign of being a poor, stingy person.
The women of the Zhao family are all skilled businesswomen and know all too well how difficult it is to make money.
How could we waste money on some meaningless, trivial banquet?
Even if the men in the family could go to the capital to become officials, what would that have to do with the women in the backyard?
One should hold a position commensurate with one's abilities.
If women can also stir up trouble in the court, then what's the point of having men? They can just have the women in their backyards.
Therefore, after attending several banquets, the women of the Zhao family began to close their doors to guests, while praying that Zhao Qinghe would return soon.
Once she returns and attends the wedding, the women can go home.
As the saying goes, living in the capital is not easy, and it really is. First of all, one's wallet can't keep up, and the atmosphere of comparison is quite strong.
Yan Yue was speechless and helpless when she learned that her sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews-in-law complained that going out to attend banquets was a waste of money.
To be honest, it really is quite expensive.
You have to change your clothes and accessories to participate in an event.
I can't stand seeing an outfit priced below a hundred taels of silver.
Occasionally, one also needs to wear some expensive jewelry, which increases the cost even further.
Since the women don't want to go, then let's not go.
On this day, the Zhao family received an invitation from the Marquis of Anping's family.
Invite the women of the Zhao family to a banquet of a hundred fish.
Who are these people from the Marquis of Anping's residence? After Yan Yue's explanation, the women of the Zhao family did not look too happy.
Yan Yue was very surprised and asked about the reason.
