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

Mrs. Xu was a smart woman, and she felt a little confused when she heard her friend's words.

However, Mrs. Yuan only said half of her words and stopped talking, which made her stunned.

"Ah Shu, what do you mean by that? Is there anything else about Yun Xi that I don't know about?"

Madam Yuan smiled and shook her head: "If you have a chance, you will know it later."

She had promised Yun Xi that the matter of the top-grade peony would be kept a secret for her. She didn't even tell her closest friends and husband!

Mrs. Xu was very tactful when she saw this and stopped asking further questions.

She said, "I came to see you today because I really want your help with something."

"Actually, it's about the Lu family. I asked the servants in the mansion to send an invitation to the Lu family today, but I don't know if the Lu family will come. I would like to ask you to help me find out."

Mrs. Yuan thought that she wanted to ask her for something, but it turned out to be just such a small matter, so Mrs. Yuan nodded and agreed without even thinking about it.

After seeing off Madam Xu, she changed her clothes and prepared to go to the Lu family.

One stick of incense later, the Lu family arrived.

"Madam, Young Madam, Madam Yuan is here!" Xiao Cui hurried in to report.

He Feng was teasing his grandson in the side room, while Gu Yunxi was in the warehouse, preparing gifts for the Xu family the day after tomorrow. Upon hearing Xiao Cui's report, he hurried out to greet Mrs. Yuan.

Madam Yuan brought her maid and saw Gu Yunxi and He Feng rushing out. She smiled and said, "Am I here at the wrong time? Are you busy?"

Gu Yunxi hurriedly explained: "Master's wife, I was just preparing gifts for the Xu family. It's nothing."

He Feng also smiled and pointed in the direction of the wing room, saying, "I was just playing with my grandson in the room, but my grandson is being taken care of by the nanny."

Mrs. Yuan was quite surprised to hear Gu Yunxi say this before she even opened her mouth.

"Hey, you are going to the Xu family, but are you going to attend the Xu family's banquet the day after tomorrow?"

Gu Yunxi smiled and nodded, "Well, Master's wife, you will go there too, right? Speaking of which, it was thanks to you that we received the invitation from the Xu family."

Mrs. Yuan waved her hands repeatedly, she didn't dare to take credit for it.

If she didn't know the truth, she might have thought that it was because of her that Yaqin invited the women of the Lu family.

However, after hearing the truth told by Yaqin, she knew that the Xu family was in trouble because of Mrs. He.

"I will go there too. The Xu family's yard is very big, even bigger than ours. When you go there, just come with me." Mrs. Yuan said.

The Xu family is wealthy and powerful, and their yards are several times as big as those of the Yuan family.

If someone has never been there, they might get lost while walking.

Besides, the second and third branches of the Xu family...are not easy to deal with.

What if the people from the second and third rooms knew something and might try to trip up the Lu family? For safety reasons, Mrs. Yuan thought it would be better for her to follow her.

At least as the wife of a minister, she still had some face among the noble ladies. Even if the people from the second and third branches of the Xu family wanted to make trouble, they would have to consider whether she would agree.

"Okay, okay, thank you very much, Master's wife!" Gu Yunxi was very happy.

Speaking of which, this was her second time attending a banquet hosted by a wealthy family since she arrived in the capital.

The first time was on a very small scale, to attend Granny Dong’s birthday party. Those who went to the Yongchang Marquis’ Mansion that time were all people who had a very good relationship with the Yongchang Marquis, so there was no such mess at all.

But this time when he went to the Xu family, according to Gu Yunxi's understanding, people from several branches of the Xu family lived together, so he really had to be cautious.

Mrs. Yuan sat for a while, and He Feng hurried over to talk with her.

After a while, Mrs. Yuan went to see Gu Yunxi's three sons again, hugged them, and then left the Lu family with a smile.

After returning to the Yuan family, she directly instructed the maid to go to the Xu family to deliver the message and tell Madam Xu that the women of the Lu family would attend the banquet.

After receiving a positive answer, Mrs. Xu felt relieved and told the news to Master Xu.

Master Xu nodded and said, "Okay, when they come, I'll have to trouble you, Madam, to receive them."

Madam Xu smiled and said, "Master, why are you being so polite to me? Since he is your relative, he is also my relative."

"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely treat them well."

The couple talked for a while, and Master Xu understood the arrangements for the banquet and was completely relieved.

I don’t know whether his aunt will come that day.

"Master, do you want to tell father about this?" Madam Xu suddenly asked.

Dad refers to Mr. Xu’s biological father, the old man of the Xu family.

Before the matter was investigated clearly, Mr. Xu did not allow Mrs. Xu to tell the old man. But now, after some investigation, it has been confirmed that Mrs. He is his aunt.

Master Xu thought for a moment and nodded slowly: "Well, let's talk about it, so that Dad can be mentally prepared in advance."

Master Xu remembered that his father loved this little aunt the most when he was a child. If his father knew that the little aunt's descendants were from the Lu family, and that the Lu family had descendants who entered the officialdom and were even the third place in this year's imperial examination, he would definitely be very happy.

After the couple had discussed it, they walked hand in hand towards Old Master Xu's yard.

They entered Old Master Xu's yard. Coincidentally, the maid from the second branch of the Xu family saw this scene and left in a hurry.

Old Master Xu was in the corridor, training his newly acquired starling. When he saw his eldest son and his wife coming together, he asked hurriedly, "Why are you here together?"

He likes to be idle and usually does not allow the younger generation to come and pay their respects to him, but sometimes his sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren will come over.

But almost all of them come alone, and very few come in groups.

"father."

"father."

Mr. and Mrs. Xu were very happy to see that the old man had a rosy complexion and knew that he was in good health.

"Dad, we came here today because we have something to tell you." Mrs. Xu spoke first.

After saying that, she gave Master Xu a look, asking him to speak.

After all, she was his aunt, and as a woman, she should not speak up about such things.

Master Xu didn't think much about it. Seeing that his wife asked him to speak, he said, "Dad, what I want to tell you is about my aunt."

"What?" The old man didn't react for a moment, and his hand paused, scaring the starling, which flew back into the cage with a plop.

Seeing this, Master Xu lowered his head and said, "That's right, my little aunt, she went back to the capital."

"Dad, my aunt lives not far from our house now. I'll ask my wife to invite the women in her family to our banquet the day after tomorrow."

Master Xu spoke cautiously, then glanced quickly at his father.

Mrs. Xu couldn't help but hold her breath, worried that Mr. Xu would get angry in the next second.
