Therefore, on the second day, Xie Jingxi received an invitation from the Ministry Feng's wife, saying that the Jade Orchids in the house were blooming at the perfect time, and specially invited the ladies who were on good terms with him to go over for spring tea and enjoy the flowers.
"Since when did Miss have a good relationship with the Ministry Feng's wife?" Ming Yu took a look at the thread, and felt that it was extremely strange, "So all these madams got along with each other because they knew each other by themselves."
Xie Jingxi snickered and glanced at her. One day, if there was no Ming Yu making a joke about it, then life would be difficult, and she might not even have a good relationship with him, maybe she wanted to get to know him or ask him for her help, it was all just a face on the battlefield. Don't be silly, go and help me pack up my clothes, I want to wear it when I'm out in the future.
It was also because Gu Yun told her about the families behind the famous people in the imperial court last night, that made her realize that Ministry Feng was once Crown Prince's Wife's older cousin sister. When Gu Yun said that Lady Li would treat her to a feast soon, she actually called him along.
Actually, the husband of the Lady Zou, Gu Quan, was only an inconspicuous master in the Ministry of Justice. It was only because of the relationship between the second house and the Marquis Mansion that Xie Jingxi was able to see him in everything, and it was probably because of the Feng Family's Full Moon Banquet that the Lady Zou had sent many good things to the Feng Residence, causing the Lady Li to go with the flow and push the boat, and it was because she wanted to get into contact with the Gu Family first.
Xie Jingxi and Lady Zou met in front of the Feng Residence's gate. Lady Zou came over and greeted her, then became curious about the clothes she was wearing, "Your clothes are a coincidence, and your appearance is also special.
However, due to the lesson from last time, she was more cautious in dressing her clothes this time. She also thought that the people being invited today were all her wives, so she didn't need to wear them to be eye-catching, but she needed to pay attention to the details. The eyes of these wives were so tight that they could tell that even a flower on their body could be seen with a few colors.
"It's not some famous embroidery workshop. It's a shop called the Spirit Embroidery Workshop in Hangzhou. I was used to wearing their clothes, so I invited them to send it over."
"It doesn't matter if she's famous or not. The most important thing is that she has a unique and beautiful appearance. I wonder if this Spirit Embroidery Workshop has a branch family in the capital?"
"The branch family hasn't opened yet, but they're preparing to head to Beijing."
Xie Jingxi did not want to make things difficult for him, she would not do it intentionally, and kept him in suspense. As expected, the Lady Zou became interested, "Then you must tell me, I'll go and pick some tricks too."
When he saw the young wife by the side of Lady Zou, he remembered that last year when he entered the palace, he seemed to have seen her from afar. He only remembered that she was wearing red clothes at the time, like a red plum blossom in snow.
Today, she was wearing a simple and elegant moon-white dress. From afar, it looked soft and soft. Her hair was tied up in a special bun, and she even looked as elegant as a young girl. If one looked again after walking in, they would see that the clothes were embroidered with the same colors of the Jade Orchid Flower. As they walked in, it seemed as if the Jade Orchid Flower was alive, and the fragrance of flowers wafted over their faces.
"Is that the Grand Mistress from the Marquis Anfeng Palace?"
The one standing in front of Lady Li was the Minister's mother, but the Mrs. Chen did not know much about the ambiguous relationship between Chen Du and her, it was just that he had long heard that the Grand Mistress was not ordinary, and from his point of view, she was indeed an orchid-like person, if she knew that Xie Jingxi had almost become her daughter-in-law, he would probably cry even in his dreams.
"That's right, last time I saw her in the palace, Prince Jin's Wife had a whole new level of respect for her."
The Lady Li and the Mrs. Chen went up to welcome them, and sized Xie Jingxi up by the side: "I've wanted to meet you for a long time, but I haven't had the chance to do so. I coincidentally called everyone over to meet us at the first full moon.
Lady Li had just given birth, and her figure was still very round, the wives who lived like princes and children did not show their age, but looking at her, Lady Li looked like she was in her thirties.
"Madam Feng, you're too courteous. I'm just too impatient. I'm just looking forward to seeing you post."
"That's great. Let's talk more from now on."
Xie Jingxi took a look as she walked, and felt that the Feng Residence was tidying up quite nicely. If it was just the Ministry Feng herself, she would feel that he was covered in the stench of copper, but the yard was tidied up quite a bit like a scholar. It was just that this scholar seemed to have a rather sour atmosphere.
It seemed like what Gu Yun said was true, that Ministry Feng was indeed a man who thought highly of himself. On the other hand, these few stalks of Yulan were not bad. They were white in color and correspondingly large in area. It was indeed worth a look.
"In the past, whenever I saw Yulan, I would always think of Lord Feng's residence. As long as I've seen it once, there's no meaning in seeing other places."
Mrs. Chen was an elegant person, Xie Jingxi looked at hshe, seemingly able to imagine Chen Du's appearance from her body. After she finished speaking, he glanced at Xie Jingxi, smiled and nodded, as if they could be considered to have gotten to know each other, and then said, "Grand Mistress's Yulan branch is also considered to be similar in work.
"I was just about to say it, but I couldn't say such an elegant word." Lady Li laughed: "I have seen some flowers, but I have never seen Yulan, the color of the embroidery work is just right, even through the clothes I can smell the fragrance of the flowers."
Xie Jingxi also specially picked out this Jade Orchid Flower to come over. She did not want to steal the limelight, but rather, she wanted to use the flower to beat Shen Huanzhi up. As expected, the other wives came over to take a look when they heard the two wives talk about it.
"This is clearly the light of the mansion's flower fragrance. I walked all the way here just now, and the fragrance of the yard is naturally on me. I don't believe that this is the same smell you smell on Sister-in-law Zou's lotus flowers."
A few of the ladies were amused by her, while the Lady Zou pretended to pinch her, "She was also doted on by the Marquis' Wife, to the point that she even started to scheme with me."
Lady Li laughed casually, and her entire body trembled a few times, "I didn't expect that Grand Mistress was also a funny person, it's so fun to talk about later on."
It was just a joke, but everyone heard something else from Lady Zou's words, it was that Marquis Anfeng seemed to really like this daughter-in-law, and the meaning behind it was different. They were saying that they would get married and start a business, and seeing that the young master of the Gu family was about to step onto the right path of life, it was really hard to say which family Marquis Mansion they could take in the future.
She had only seen her once, how could she not know what Lady Zeng was thinking? No one could tell, and if not for Xie Jingqi being unable to handle it, she would not be willing to pass the task on to her. Furthermore, if nothing went wrong, as the son of the Ye Clan, Gu Heng taking over the Marquis Mansion would be a piece of cake, but it would not change just because she said it would.
Fortunately, Lady Zou was talking about the Spirit Embroidery workshop again, and changed the topic, "One day when the Spirit Embroidery Workshop arrives at the capital, everyone can really go and take a look, I can see that their embroidery mother is not ordinary, and is not any worse than the other embroidery shops in the capital. The key is that the southern side of the house is very comfortable, and whatever Hangluo Cloud Embroidery is, we do not have it well, and if I wanted to say it, Spring Xia still needs to wear the southern side's materials."
"That's right. Just looking at her clothes, I want to make a set for myself. With my current body, I might even waste a pair of pieces of fabric."
Madame Li was joking with her, and the atmosphere became cheerful for a moment. She glanced at Madam Zou and asked, "But there's still no movement?" I went there four times a month, every seven days, for a month. In the end, I fasted for a month, and after that, I had my wedding pulse. Why don't you go and try?
Lady Li did not hide the fact that she would never have a son, and advised Lady Zou to go as well. Lady Zou was young and tender, and was too embarrassed to bring it up in front of others, so she could only nod in agreement.
There was a flower room built in the courtyard. After the ladies finished admiring the flowers, they immediately moved to the flower room for tea, as if the Lady Li was offering them a treasure, they wanted to hug their brother who had just reached the full moon up for everyone to see. "For him, I really have to go with half my life, look at my waist, it's thicker than when I was pregnant with him.
The Lady Li was a typical house lady, her words were all around the land, Xie Jingxi picked them up and listened, feeling a little bored. wanted to hide for a while, but was pulled over by the Lady Zou. Most likely, the Lady Zou was also envious and wanted to see what the son in the temple looked like.
With just a glance, he could tell that something was wrong. This child was fat and white, the same as the Lady Li, but with his eyes staring at people, with a lot of white in his eyes. He looked like he was staring with his eyes rolled up, his fingers continuously nibbling on his mouth, saliva flowing out, looking like he was an idiot.
It was unknown whether it was Xie Jingxi who was overthinking it or not, the few of her wives did not seem to be able to discern it. They had been praising Big Brother the whole time because he was a rare white and fat kid.
He only let the wet nurse carry him down when he was crying about being hungry. Then, he pulled the Lady Zou and asked her in private, "Ever since I gave birth to brother, I have never stopped doing things during the month. Do you have any good medicines in that shop?"
Even if it was in a low voice, he could still hear it clearly. What Xie Jingxi did not know was that Lady Zou actually had a Medicine Hall under her hand, and from the looks of it, it should be quite a famous one as well. Otherwise, Lady Li would not even rush to ask her.
Xie Jingxi knew that there were two sets of Medicine Hall s under the name of Marquis Mansion. In the past, when the two houses were in separate families, there was one each, but there was a difference between the two families of Medicine Hall s that were managed by different people. The second house's business had always been managed by Master Gu Er, and it was only in these few years that the eldest son, Gu Quan, managed the business. However, because the Medicine Hall was in the hands of Master Gu, the second house's business had always been managed by Master Gu, and so the eldest son, Gu Quan, slowly managed the second house's business.
This meant that the Second Branch did not have Medicine Hall as a business in their own businesses, so the Lady Zou's Medicine Hall could only be part of her dowry. Xie Jingxi did not know the background of the Lady Zou, but if she could have such a family of Medicine Hall as a companion, then at least she would have some resources.
From the looks of it, although Gu Quan's career was not bright and the Ministry Feng did not look down on him, the personal relationship between Lady Zou and him seemed to be not bad.
