It was just that now was not the time for Dong Shu to not know anything. She only needed to look at the list of names and she would be able to guess that those on the list were all the families that she had to invite.

However, since they were all guests, as long as each family brought one or two juniors with them, they would probably have to take at least three tables to sit down at this banquet.

As for whether or not they would bring this junior over, Dong Shu had no doubts about that at all.

It was only after Dong Shu had entered the palace this time that she heard that her sister-in-law had purposely made a marriage with Zhang Family. She understood that this banquet was the best opportunity for the female servants to see each other.

Since they wanted to look at each other, they would definitely bring a junior along.

There were also some female servants who wanted to bring along juniors that had yet to be decided, but had yet to be questioned about. They wanted to let others know that their family had such a junior, so that they could propose a marriage.

It was because of this reason that although Dong Shu's invitation was for a certain mistress, she had to be able to predict that she would bring two more juniors along.

Just as Dong Shu was thinking about this, the Old Madame Xu opened her mouth again: "This time, your eldest sister-in-law and your Second Sister-in-law will probably come back too, don't forget."

Just as Old Madame Xu finished speaking, Dong Shu nodded her head to show that she understood.

At the same time, Dong Shu raised her original plan of three tables to four tables.

Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law both had juniors waiting to get married, they would definitely bring them along.

Seeing that Dong Shu understood her meaning, the Old Madame Xu instructed her to quickly go back and prepare.

Dong Shu did not decline. Previously, she did not know, but after going through the Mama Yan's tutelage, Dong Shu now understood, preparing for a banquet was not something that could be done a day or two earlier.

Some ingredients needed to be prepared a few days in advance.

Xu Family had just started preparing for the banquet and was purchasing ingredients that did not exist in the family. On the other side, the well-informed family had also received the news.

Everyone was waiting for this post from the Xu Family. After a day, those who received the post would naturally be overjoyed, after all, most of the families of the officials in the capital would know about the matter that was beloved by the Empress.

As for those who did not receive posts, it was fine that they did not have any relationship with Xu Family before, but there were a few who had a good relationship with Xu Family before, but this time they did not receive posts, which became the main topic of discussion among the families.

All the families who were able to stand firmly in the capital were not fools. These families had a good relationship with Xu Family before the marriage, and one of the old ladies was even handed over as a handkerchief to Old Madame Xu before her marriage.

But this time, he did not receive a post from the Xu Family.

Thinking of this, he went to investigate some good things. In the end, after some investigation, he found something.

"These two families are both the same family that threw stones at us while we were down after the Xu Family accident. I do not blame nor resent the political enemies of Xu Family, but the men of these two families were all brought up by your father-in-law back then. " Old Madame Xu had also heard of the news in the capital recently, which was why she was able to tell Dong Shu about this after her recovery.

"Our Xu Family will not actively go and stir up trouble, but to make us pretend that we don't know anything, and still come into contact with them, is impossible." The Old Madame Xu saw that Dong Shu had finished speaking and seeing her nod her head, she continued, "In the future, when you meet the women from these two families, you will not have to be courteous. The things they did back then were not concealed. Many families in the capital knew about it. "

Dong Shu listened to what the Old Madame Xu said seriously. Even if she did not understand something, she would not question it.

She understood that it didn't matter if she didn't understand now, but she just needed to remember her mother-in-law's words and do as she said.

Moreover, Dong Shu had never had the shame to ask others before. If she didn't understand something, she would wait for Old Madame Xu to finish speaking, and then take the initiative to ask.

"Mother, then if I meet the women from these two families in the future, I will ignore them if they don't take the initiative to talk to me. What should I do if they take the initiative to talk to me?" Dong Shu understood the words of the Old Madame Xu, but she felt that she had a bad grasp of it.

Once she said that, Old Madame Xu understood her meaning.

At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It had only been a short while, but this third daughter-in-law of his, who originally didn't know anything, had already understood so many twists and turns.

The big dye vat in the capital was truly worthy of its reputation.

"I think that as long as these two families have good faces, they will not take the initiative to provoke our people. However, there is another situation. They will bully you because you don't know anything and use you to wash off what they had done in their own homes. "

In the end, Old Madame Xu had experienced a lot, and the moment she opened her mouth, she immediately told her what the other two families might do.

Dong Shu had been seriously listening to her mother-in-law's words the entire time. Only now did she take the initiative to speak out: "Then, I won't answer their words? Or is there any other good way? "

Dong Shu also understood that she would definitely meet these two women in the future.

After all, now that Xu Family had returned to the capital, there would definitely be diplomacy for their women.

For example, the two families that Old Madame Xu had mentioned earlier, one family was related to Zhang Family, and the other family was a little closer to Hu Family.

They were all relatives so they would definitely meet each other in the future, so Dong Shu was a little unsure of what to do.

She could pretend that she didn't know those two families, but if those two families insisted on talking to her, how could she understand it?

She understood that as long as she had a little meaning, the two of them might use this opportunity to say that their family's relationship with Xu Family was very good.

Dong Shu didn't really understand either, but Mama Yan had recently told her a lot, and every time she met Aunt Sister and her first niece, they would tell her a little about this matter.

Although Dong Shu felt that there were a lot of things that needed to be done, she was not annoyed. She even felt that she had to work hard in order to do what a manager wife should do and not drag down her husband.

The Old Madame Xu also understood this point, so after hearing Dong Shu's words, she nodded her head and said: "It's fine to just ignore them. But if there is someone who wants to introduce them, you can push that person onto me. You don't have to be afraid of offending them. When the two families first took a blow when they were down, our family had already fallen out with them. There are too many people watching our Xu Family right now, so it would not be appropriate to befriend so many influential families. Thus, if you were to speak directly, you do not need to care about the face of the two families. "

Old Madame Xu knew that Dong Shu was not very smart, but she also knew that although Dong Shu was not very smart, he was very obedient.

As expected, when he said those words, he saw her nod her head seriously.

Dong Shu had indeed taken the Old Madame Xu's words to heart, and was implementing them very well in the future.

Old Madame Xu also did not expect that her words today, would train Dong Shu to such a state.

Seeing that Dong Shu had nodded in agreement, Old Madame Xu then continued: "Our family, Zhang Family, and even Hu Family as well as Prince Duan Palace are all relatives. Although our Jiang Family are not our official families, with your Second Sister-in-law and Yanzhu here, we are still relatives. These relatives should know what happened in our family that year, and there are usually people who don't understand and speak up for us. "Besides, our family's social circle is also about the same. If you are going out in the future, you don't know what to do if you encounter any problems. You can ask your elder sister-in-law or elder sister."

The Old Madame Xu only mentioned the Madame Ye and Xu Nuanwen but did not mention the Madame Jiang and Yanzhu. She also knew that the two of them were smart people, knew what to do, and what not to do.

And the status of the Madame Jiang and Yanzhu was a bit worse.

Thinking to this, the Old Madame Xu turned to Dong Shu and said, "In the future, when you act outside, if you encounter someone who is trying to sow discord between you three, you should just return the favor without fear. "No matter how many conflicts our family has, when we go out, we are still family. We are not someone others can provoke."

Dong Shu listened attentively to the teachings of the Old Madame Xu, and after memorizing these words in her heart, she started to ponder whether she should explain it to him after Hubby tonight when she returned.

Only, Dong Shu did not expect that a heavy downpour would only stop at midnight in the middle of the afternoon.

Because of this torrential rain, Xu Shiqiu did not come back, but fortunately, he stayed for another day on the second day, and the third day was the day of Xiu Mu.

After an entire night of torrential rain, a lot of the flowers in the Xu Family Courtyard had fallen, but after the rain, they had cooled down.

Even Yuanxi looked more spirited than a few days ago.

The next day would be the day of Xu Family Banquet. Today, Dong Shu was even busier than the last few days, it was fortunate that the Old Madame Xu had arranged for two servants to come over to help, so that Dong Shu could prepare all of the things needed for the feast tomorrow in the afternoon.

Since tomorrow was the day of the banquet, it was rather simple to eat all over the Xu Family tonight.

Dong Shu had her servants boil the big bone soup, while she led the servants and maids to wrap many wontons, prepared to cook them together with the bone soup after it was done.

It had been a long time since Dong Shu had personally gone to cook and for her to cook for him today, firstly, because the weather was a little cooler, and secondly, because Xu Shiqiu did not come back yesterday, so he could eat the food she cooked himself.

Dong Shu thought to herself that this was the first time Yuanxi had eaten food other than milk, and she was especially meticulous in preparing the noodles.

According to the nurse's words, the soft and gentle noodles, the thin layer of the rolling roll, and then boil it a little more.

Dong Shu did not do much either, it was only a small bowl. She used a small silver spoon to break the skin on her face even more, and then she fed the bowl to Yuanxi who was already wrapped around the mouth.

When Xu Shiqiu came back, he just so happened to see this scene. His Young Girl was holding a silver bowl, and was currently seriously feeding food to his daughter.

Seeing this scene, Xu Shiqiu immediately felt that the things he had discovered in the army camp today, weren't considered problems at all. He would definitely be able to think of a way to resolve them.
