They were all looking at her, and it didn't seem like there was anything special about her.

I thought I was overthinking it and didn't take it seriously.

In fact, the one who looked at her with hatred just now was Du Liu! The master of the Qin family and the teacher of Prefect Zhang were close friends regardless of age.

When the Zhang family came to the capital, Du Liu came to visit them after receiving the letter. She postponed her return home for the Zhang family's wedding.

To be honest, Du Liu was not willing to go this far with Madam Qi. Of course, he would not let go of the opportunity to ease the relationship.

Since Zhang Moqing is one of Mrs. Qi's daughters-in-law, it might be useful if she could move around.

The Jiang family received an invitation from the Qi family to today's wedding.

Qin Lianyue came to discuss with Du Liu whether she should go to Qi's house with her mother-in-law or come to Zhang's house with her mother. But Du Liu stopped her.

She threatened, "The relationship between mother and Cui Fengying hasn't eased yet. With her temper, she will embarrass you right on the spot. What can you do to her? You can't hide from her, but you're still moving forward? What are you thinking?"

"Then I'll go to Zhang's house with you to see that bitch Wen Yu!"

"Why do you want to see her? If she's good, you're just making things difficult for yourself. If she's not good, you have nothing to be proud of. It has nothing to do with you at all! Just stay still!"

This was the first time Du Liu met Wen Yu.

When I saw it from a distance, my heart started beating fast. When I saw it clearly from a closer distance, I held my breath...

Wen Yu is so pretty? And so flamboyant?

In terms of charm, she may not be as good as her daughter.

This is absolutely gorgeous...my daughter can't compete with her.

Fortunately, that girl didn't come today, otherwise...

No, go back, I still have to give her some instructions. I'm leaving, what if she does something stupid? Oh, Lianyue's temper! I'll have to worry about her for the rest of my life! There's a commotion over there, the groom is coming!

…

At the Qi family, Xu is carefully looking at Zhang Moqing's dowry...

It's just average, nothing special!

The daughter of a scholar probably emptied the family assets in order to get her daughter into the Qi family.

Moreover, when he raised his head, he actually had a set of books! Was he trying to show off that his family was a family of scholars? How poor!

Xu didn't know that this set of "Zhu Qi Zi Ji" was out of print and the price was quite high! You have money to buy it, but you can't buy it! Seeing Madam Qi dressed up and smiled sincerely, Xu felt jealous.

Aunt Liu was not happy with this marriage! But she asked Qi Si to talk about it yesterday. Just now, she was stabbed in the eye by Madam Qi again.

She behaved more honestly, thinking, she would talk about it again when there was a chance in the future!

Qi Youyi was also dissatisfied with this marriage, but he was powerless to stop it and looked unhappy.

But it seemed that no one cared about his feelings! In fact, he didn't care much. Instead, he thought to himself: Xiulan didn't show up on such a big day, which really wronged her for her whole life! Tan specially invited the Jiang family to come. She wanted the second wife who had just entered the house to meet Mrs. Qi.

What if some sparks could fly, wouldn't that add more color to the wedding?

However, it was unexpected that Lady Jingguogong only brought her eldest daughter-in-law.

The eldest daughter-in-law looked very much like her. The two of them sat close together, talking and laughing non-stop, more like real mother and daughter.

Tan asked, "When your new bride came home that day, I didn't even touch her. Later I heard that she was very bright and I thought you were going to bring her with you today!"

Lady Jingguogong smiled and said, "She is very bright and well behaved! But she is a little weak. As the eldest daughter-in-law, I take care of her in various ways all day long. I hope she will get better soon and give birth to more children for the Jiang family!"

Tan grinned. That's great. No one else has said anything yet, but you are the first to say that she is not feeling well.

He leaned closer to Lady Jingguo and said, "Why did I hear that your second daughter-in-law is related to Youyi's wife?!"

He looked at the wife of Duke Jingguo with burning eyes.

Lady Jingguogong didn't take it seriously. "It seems that they are somewhat close, but they didn't visit each other much later. You know the difference between the two, a civil official and a military official!"

It is true that civil servants and military officers look down on each other.

Tan's instigation failed and she stopped talking. She understood the principle that too much is as bad as too little.

After all the masters of the Wen family went out, the house became deserted.

Wen Yu brought Xiao Ji and Qing He with her today. Laba had disappeared, leaving only Hong Xing in the house.

Qiuyan, the older girl beside Wen Huan, came over, "Hong Xing? What are you doing?!"

Now Hong Xing doesn't even have the mood to dress up. She has been working hard lately to show her diligence. The dry weather in Beijing has made her hands rough. Now that she has nothing to do, she remembers to apply some grease.

"Oh, it's really just you!? Do you really think you don't exist?"

Hong Xing said irritably, "Didn't the second lady take you with her too?!"

"I'm having my period today, how can I attend the wedding?"

"Will they take me with them?" Hong Xing was dissatisfied. She didn't know how long it had been since she went out with a girl.

"I've already made an agreement with our wife about Chun Yan'er the other day. She'll be gone by the end of the year!"

"Really going out?!"

"Yes, my cousin has property and a business, so he can go out and become a wife!"

"Well, what about you?"

"As for me, to be honest, I have also thought about my own future."

"What are you thinking?" Hong Xing stared at her and asked.

"The dowry that the madam has arranged for the young lady is from a steward named Li Zhong. His eldest son is very handsome and is now learning outside. He can write and do math! The young lady said that when the time comes..." Her little face was flushed.

"You're marrying out too? You're not staying with the girl..."

"To be honest, the girl and I grew up together. She treats me like a sister. When the time comes, I will stay by her side and guard a man... It doesn't matter if it's someone unrelated. The closer we are, the easier it is to turn against each other!"

That's quite possible. Hong Xing nodded in agreement.

"Besides, I am not like you, good-looking and skillful. My straightforward personality may not be able to please my husband. I will be stuck in the middle and the loss will outweigh the gain! The man I marry will be a housekeeper in the future and live a good life!"

"Alas, same people with different fates! I really envy you."

"I envy you! If I had a child like you, I would definitely run for myself!"

"What's the use..." Hong Xing looked at her own flesh hands. Her hands were like this now. If she married a servant in the future... she couldn't help but shudder when she thought of the hands of those old women.

"When I heard about Chunyan's letter, I told our girl that although we haven't known each other for a long time, we are quite compatible. You are good-looking and simple-minded. It will definitely be a great help for the girl to keep you by her side in the future."

Hong Xing's face turned red.

"But our girl said, how could she ask you to come over when the elder girl is here! To compete with the eldest daughter who is so popular in the family? Isn't that a joke? It's a pity for you, you are obviously a good talent, but you are not valued.

Alas, let’s not talk about whether the eldest girl will take you with her when she gets married, but looking at her aura…even if she gets married, she may not be willing to arrange a concubine for her husband! She is a very capable person!”

Qiuyan admired and envied her.

After she left, Hong Xing was silent for a long time.

These days, whenever Aunt Xu saw her, she would have a gloomy face and ignore her.

That’s right, I got the benefits but accomplished nothing...but the young lady became famous!

Anyone would be angry!

But the older girl is fine, but I am worse...

She reached under the table out of habit...

Laba was listening from behind, feeling annoyed: What's the big deal? Why are you talking about this for so long? Isn't it just to get Hong Xing to marry the eldest daughter, and then the second daughter to promise to take her out of the house and make her a concubine? It's been such a long and winding story, I'm tired just listening to it, how many people can't be killed with this kind of effort?

Oh, silly red apricot, be careful and entangled with the lotus root powder of buns...

So pitiful!
