Chapter 480 You look so stupid now
Xin An naturally understood what the Zhou family's sisters-in-law meant. They just wanted to use her influence to make friends with the families of Zhou Chengsong's colleagues, but Xin An thought it was a bit too hasty.
Zhou Chengsong's official position is not high, and he has just arrived at the Ministry of Personnel. He should be low-key, steady and concentrate on doing his job. Convincing his colleagues of his ability to do his job is the most important thing. He should not put all his connections on the table at once.
Aunt Cuiping smiled and said, "You two ladies are considered the second young master's wife's family, so I won't hide some things from you. The second young master's wife is pregnant, and it's still early, so she needs to be careful. She shouldn't go out or do anything strenuous in the next two or three months."
The two sisters-in-law were stunned for a moment, then stood up with a look of joy on their faces to congratulate, "It's our fault for forgetting to ask Aunt Wang first. This is the most important matter, and we can't be careless at all."
Xin An smiled and asked them to sit down. He helped them analyze the current situation and suggested that Zhou Chengsong make a list. They could prepare some local rituals brought from Huaijiang and send them to the mansion. "Before you arrive, you should show your presence to others. If they feel it is necessary, they can meet you."
Zhou Chengsong's wife nodded repeatedly, saying that they had just arrived here and had never encountered many things before, so it was inevitable that they would not be able to do things in the right way. "Please give us some advice."
"Especially when dealing with the families of my husband's colleagues and superiors, what are the rules?"
People sincerely asked for an explanation, and Xin An did not hide his secrets. He said, "There are taboos and tricks for subordinates to invite their superiors to a banquet. Just like the banquet you just mentioned, it's not that I don't want to show up, but the timing is not right. It will make people think that you are deliberately using the Marquis' Mansion to pressure them, which is probably counterproductive."
"Let them know but not from you. Even if they ask you, you should downplay it and say that it has little to do with you. But if they ask you for help, and you can get it done, then you can maximize the benefits of this relationship."
“When people get along with each other, the most important thing is to make the other person happy when you have no capital.”
If Xin An was just an average person in the capital, the Zhou sisters-in-law would not listen carefully and nod frequently. But last night they knew how successful Xin An is in the capital now, so they must listen and learn from what she says.
The two left more than half an hour later. Cuiping went forward to help Xin An get up and go back to Qiushi Courtyard, and warned her to be careful when sitting down and standing up in the future, and not to stand up as suddenly as before.
"I'll be careful. I'm not that fragile."
"It's hard for women to get pregnant, and giving birth is even harder. Raising a child is even harder, so you have to be careful at all times."
Xin An had no choice but to agree. He met Tang Gang after walking a few steps. Tang Gang had drunk a lot yesterday, so he had to take a leave today. Xin An remembered something and smiled and went forward to greet him, "Father, are you going to be on duty this afternoon?"
"What's up?"
Tang Gang had just come out of Tang Yu's residence. He didn't know what he was thinking. When he saw Xin An, he glanced at her belly and said, "Your mother said you are pregnant. From now on, don't squat to greet others. Be more careful."
It's really like the sun rising from the west, speaking such kind words.
"I know, father. My husband couldn't get up this morning, so he asked for leave and is still sleeping."
"I heard that the Shuihua Banquet was extremely lively yesterday. I'm afraid many people have asked for leave today, right?"
She calculated that the time for the Duke of En's Mansion to fall would not be too far away. Could this incident be the fuse? "The Duke of En's Mansion used all kinds of tricks to avoid paying back the money. They cried poor more than anyone else, and then held an extremely luxurious Shuihua Banquet in the blink of an eye. I also heard something."
Tang Gang has always felt that Xin An was very cunning and hard to figure out, good at using soft knives, and full of tricks. Let alone other things, the fact that the second son, who was so cunning and undisciplined, has been trained by her to be as obedient as her grandson shows that this daughter-in-law is a ruthless person.
"What is it?"
"The Empress Dowager has been summoning the imperial physician frequently in the past month, and no ladies have come to pay their respects for half a month."
This was the news Lin Yao gave her yesterday, in which she was trying to persuade her to stay in the mansion while she was pregnant and to keep a low profile recently.
Tang Gang was startled, "Where did you hear that?"
"The news from the Qinghou Mansion cannot be false. Not many people know about this."
Tang Gang was not a fool, he soon understood the seriousness of this matter, and looked at Xin An deeply. He could hear such news while sitting at home. Thinking about how Wang had complained to him about Tao Yiran early this morning, he was in deep thought, "Don't let this matter spread. Let the second son get out and work harder."
After saying that, he raised his legs and walked away in a hurry, and Xin An returned to Qiushiyuan.
Tang Mo had already gotten up and dressed neatly. He had shaved off the little stubble on his beard and looked very energetic. He smiled and walked down the stairs to help Xin An. "Have the Zhou family members left?"
"I went back. I just met my father and talked about something."
She would not hide anything from Tang Mo, but Tang Mo said he already knew what Yan Shimao told him yesterday, "I have been busy all day since I came back from Huaijiang, and everyone has seen it. Taking a half-day off occasionally is not a big deal. Besides, I have to make some small mistakes occasionally, so there is no rush."
Xin An said that her thoughts coincided with his, so she didn't call him early in the morning, "Everyone can rest assured if there are some minor mistakes occasionally."
Tang Mo happily pulled her to sit down beside him, "I was busy all day yesterday, and I didn't even say a few words when I came back at night. How is it?"
"What?"
"You and the child."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Tang Mo smiled and touched her belly, "How was your day yesterday? How was your mood? Was he naughty?"
When Xin An asked this question, not to mention Chun Yang and Chun Lu who were guarding the door, they all laughed secretly. Xin An said with a smile: "If an ordinary doctor can't diagnose it, how can you not be obedient?"
"I can't even feel him myself."
Tang Mo raised his eyebrows, "How is this possible? You can't even feel him, but he can still make you uncomfortable. He is really capable."
Xin An patted him and laughed, "You look so silly right now."
"Fools have good fortune."
He hugged his wife and sighed with satisfaction, "Life is so good now. I don't want to work as an official at all."
"It's because you're on duty that life is so good. You've made a huge contribution to our today."
"really?"
"Very true!"
At this moment, Tang Mo felt that he was the happiest person in the world and was extremely satisfied.
Soon Wang came. As she approached the gate, she heard the couple's laughter. Wang's face instantly lit up with a smile. She wagged her tail to greet her. She was so happy that she almost broke her tail. Xin An turned her head to look at her, "Mom is here?"
