Dress up as a farmer's wife from the Wang family and fight for the best with space

Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Yuan walked into the embroidery shop, browsed around carefully, and bought a few pieces of embroidery.

"Mrs. Lu, Yunxi, we'll go back first. We still have things to do at home. Please come to our house and play when you have time."

He Feng and Gu Yunxi personally saw them off before returning to the shop with a smile to help entertain other customers.

Dong Xiangyu took Qin Yunzhuo and Qin Yuying to sit for a while and then stood up to say goodbye.

Mrs. He watched them get on the carriage and the smile on her face faded.

He Feng saw it, hurried over and asked, "Mom, is there anything wrong?"

Ever since she met Madam Xu and Madam Yuan, something seemed to be wrong with my mother. No one knew what was going on, and He Feng was a little worried.

Mrs. He looked at her daughter, then looked at the busy people outside and let out a long sigh.

"Alas, Feng'er, actually, that Madam Xu, if I'm not mistaken, she..."

"Her husband is my nephew, Xu Zhi!"

He Feng's eyes widened in shock.

"Mother, are you saying that the Minister of Revenue is...your nephew?"

He Feng suddenly remembered that her mother's maiden name seemed to be Xu!

When I think about it this way, it seems to make sense!

Mrs. He nodded slowly, sighed again, and had a complicated expression.

He Feng was so shocked by the news that she couldn't recover for a long time until Gu Yunxi came over and asked her what was going on.

"Mom, grandma, what happened to you? Why..." Everyone looked wrong.

Mrs. He took Gu Yunxi's hand and repeated her previous guess.

Gu Yunxi was not that surprised. Before, when she heard Mrs. He talking about her mother's family, she had already vaguely guessed this possibility, but she didn't expect it to be true.

Madam Xu seemed to be a kind person. As for the Xu family, although Gu Yunxi had never come into contact with other people, she had a vague feeling that the people in the Xu family would not do anything to her grandmother.

How many years have passed since my grandma and grandpa got married!

Presumably, my grandmother's parents have long passed away, and those who are left now are just relatives of the same or younger generation.

For a moment, Gu Yunxi remained silent after listening, not knowing what to say.

As a junior, she naturally had to depend on what Mrs. He said and thought about these matters. After all, that was Mrs. He's family.

Mrs. He looked out the backyard window into the distance, not knowing what she was thinking.

At the same time, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Yuan parted ways and returned home.

Coincidentally, I met Minister Xu who was returning from court.

Madam Xu smiled and asked someone to spread out all the embroidery they had bought, pointing and saying, "Master, look at these embroidery pieces!"

Minister Xu glanced at her and said helplessly, "Madam, I am not a woman, how can I understand these embroidery matters?"

Madam Xu shook her head and insisted, "Take a good look at these embroidery pieces. What similarities are there between them and the one my mother gave me?"

Minister Xu became interested, picked it up and looked at it carefully.

"Hey, this line is really good, meticulous and detailed, and it feels good to the touch. It's a bit like yours."

Minister Xu knew that his wife had always treasured a double-sided embroidery. It was said that it was a dowry given by his late mother-in-law and was embroidered by Dong Xiangyu, the most famous embroiderer in the capital at that time.

It's strange, why do I associate the embroidery in front of me with the double-sided embroidery collected by my wife?

Madam Xu smiled happily, "Yes, Master is really smart!"

She looked around and lowered her voice again, saying, "Master, do you know where I got these embroidery works?"

"Where did it come from? It couldn't have been embroidered by the most famous embroiderer in the capital back then?" Minister Xu half-jokingly joked when he saw his wife's mysterious look.

Madam Xu shook her head: "That's not the case, but it also has something to do with the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang!"

"These embroidery works were all made by a little girl she taught herself. Isn't that surprising? When I heard that she didn't accept any apprentices anymore, I was very sad for a long time!"

"I didn't expect this fate to be so wonderful. Although the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang did not accept any apprentices, she also personally taught the little girl. Given time, I think the girl's embroidery skills will not be much worse than those of the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang."

Minister Xu was a little surprised and asked, "How did you know this?"

The wife of Marquis Yongchang has always lived in seclusion in the inner chamber and never interacted with the wives of the powerful families in the capital.

Marquis Yongchang loved his wife terribly, and he listened to his wife on everything. Everyone in the capital knew this.

"How else can I know? Of course I heard it from the wife of Marquis Yongchang herself!" Madam Xu smiled, with a sense of showing off.

It was a good decision to follow Ah Shu to visit Lu’s embroidery shop today!

Minister Xu was even more surprised and asked hurriedly, "Where did you go today? Didn't you say you were going to the embroidery shop with Madam Yuan? How come Madam Yongchang was there too?"

"Well, not only the wife of Marquis Yongchang went, but Marquis Yongchang went too. They also brought the brother and sister they adopted with them. They looked very well-behaved." Madam Xu nodded.

"By the way, that embroidery shop belongs to this year's third place winner, the Lu family. The young lady of the Lu family opened it in partnership with others."

Mrs. Xu was afraid that her husband might not understand what she had said, so she added a few more words to explain.

Minister Xu was even more surprised. The third place winner of the Lu family, Lu Jianchuan? The student of Minister Yuan?

He did have an impression of Lu Jianchuan, not only because Lu Jianchuan was a student of Minister Yuan, but also because every time this young man saw him, he would stop and salute, which made people feel very comfortable.

Moreover, he had heard from his colleagues in the Hanlin Academy that Lu Jianchuan was reliable and steady in his work, and was considered a leader among the same batch of Jinshi.

Minister Xu said, "I heard that the Lu family came from Jihu Town. Do you know who was the teacher of Lu Tanhua?"

"Isn't it A'shu's husband, Minister Yuan?" Madam Xu said without thinking.

Minister Xu shook his head: "I'm not talking about the time in the capital, but before Lu Tanhua came to the capital!"

"Hmm? Then I don't know. I don't think I heard Ah Shu mention it either." Mrs. Xu looked at her husband with a confused look on her face.

Minister Xu said, "I heard that Mr. Lu's teacher is Mr. Wei."

"Mr. Wei? Mr. Wei, the top scorer in high school that year?" Mrs. Xu exclaimed, looking incredulous.

Minister Xu nodded slowly: "Is there another Mr. Wei in the capital? When Mr. Wei left the capital, we went to see him off from afar."

"Now, I heard from Minister Yuan that he is the dean of a school in Jihu Town called Longquan Academy, and Lu Tanhua is his student."

"It was also because of Mr. Wei's recommendation that Lu Tanhua came to the capital and became Yuan Shilang's apprentice."

Madam Xu had never known about these things, and she didn't care much about them, because she went to support the embroidery shop of the young lady of the Lu family today only for the sake of her good friend Madam Yuan.

Now, after hearing what her husband said, she felt like she had missed a lot of news!

However, it is no wonder that the Lu family is familiar with the wife of Marquis Yongchang. Knowing Marquis Yongchang is enough to show that the Lu family is not simple.
