The person was dressed in a peony patterned robe with gold thread buttons, a cedar skirt with ivy under it, and a golden red peony hairpin on both sides of his head. He wore a pair of gold peony hairpins, and wore a pair of tight-fitting earrings with gold thread in them.

"Sister." His mother went forward to hold her hand and perform the family salute. Presumably, this was the Lu family's Third Wife, the Xue family.

"This is my daughter." Mother said, patting me on the shoulder.

"Aunt." When I went up to pay my respects, the maidservant behind her handed me a box. She took it and passed it to me.

"Thank you, Aunt." I respectfully saluted and thanked her, and Green Pingping, who was behind me, took it.

Before coming here, my mother intentionally sent her mother to tell me about the Xue family, afraid that I would make a joke out of myself. The Xue Clan was a clan of over a hundred years, and like the Lu Clan, they were also civil servants. The Old Master of the Xue Clan had already arrived before the late emperor. Only his sons were left as officials. When the new emperor ascended the throne, the old master of the Xue Clan angered the emperor in the imperial court. Although he was not punished, he was demoted to the frontier as an official. The Old Master was already old, and could not adapt to the cold in the north. He had been besieged with illness for a long time, and the Emperor had decreed that a son should remain in the capital as an official in order to support his family. The Old Master had stayed in the capital with his second son's family, and the Old Mistress missed her son and grandson, and followed her eldest son to the north.

It seemed so on the surface, but everyone could clearly see the reason behind it. Old Mrs. Xue gave birth to two sons and two daughters, her eldest son and third son were her descendants, and her second son was her concubine. Old Mrs. Xue didn't want her concubine son to take care of her family, so she followed her own son to the north of the city. The Old Master didn't care that her son was born a concubine, he was still her son.

The master of the Xue family was both the eldest son and direct descendant, so he was naturally highly valued. Before being reprimanded, he had already become the assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Xue Clan, the son of the Qin family, came from a distinguished family, and had a dignified temperament. He gave birth to a son and two girls for Master Xue. The eldest son was Xue Lang, Xue Ninghao. Master Xue and Shu had three children.

Compared to Master Xue, Second Master Xue was quite famous. Mrs. Xue had been married into the Xue Family for three years with nothing to show for it. The third wife's family wanted to marry her sister. The third master refused and stayed with the third wife, living a dull life. Xue San's wife also did her best. She was soon pregnant, and her three sons were born at the age of four. For a time, it was known as a beautiful talk in the capital. Although Second Master Xue was the son born of a concubine, he was highly valued by Old Master Xue. He said that Old Master Xue had the air of a gentleman.

The Third Master of the Xue Clan was the son of the Xue Clan who had been engaged to his mother. He had married Little Lu, so he knew very little about this Third Master of the Xue Clan. Not long after marrying into the Lu clan, she became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter. This year, she was already five years old and was named Ning Lin.

"Where's Cousin Ning Lin?" I asked with a smile.

"She and her sisters are waiting in the inner courtyard!" "Little Lu lowered her body slightly and told me that her action was exceptionally adorable. Putting herself at a height similar to others, it reduced the pressure." Our old lady has very strict rules, not allowing the girls to come out and greet our guests. " Mrs. Three complained coquettishly.

"This is the truth of the rules." His mother wore a thin smile on her face, a standard social expression.

"Mistress Yang, you came." An older woman walked up with a kind smile, "Since the house is a mess, I asked Third Sister-in-Law to come out and greet the guests." She smiled as she explained why she had not come out to greet her mother.

"From what sister-in-law said, big sister came so early because she didn't take us as outsiders and specifically came to help." Third Wife's smile blossomed.

"Everyone is like you?" His mother greeted Mrs. Xue with a smile. Mrs. Xue glanced sideways at Mrs. Xue. "Everyone knows that our Third Sister-in-Law's mouth is the most painful!" Third Wife climbed on top of Eldest Wife's arm, laughing and shouting, "Sister-in-law, look at Mistress Yang, she's talking about me. If you don't kick her out, I won't listen!" Mrs. Xue couldn't help but laugh.

"Isn't this the time to call me sister?" The mother went forward to gently pull the third wife's sleeve, and the three of them burst into laughter.

"Madam, the Old Granny asked, why aren't you inviting Mistress Yang in!" The young maid ran out of the door, panting.

"Look at us, we're all children, yet we're still laughing in front of the children." Mrs. Xue stepped forward to support her mother.

"It was all my sister-in-law's fault for making me laugh!" Mrs. Xue stood on the other side of my mother, and I followed her.

"Look at this little sister of yours, I wonder how much you like our old lady, and how you can't leave her for even a moment."

"That's because you're my sister-in-law, so let her be." His mother complimented Mrs. Xue courteously.

As we walked along the road, Mrs. Xue looked back at me. "Is this Miss Yang?" The mother nodded slightly, "Single name is Yuanyuan." The names of the young misses are extremely precious. If one isn't a good person, they wouldn't know the names of their daughters, just like how I know the name of Big Sister Lin.

"Greetings Madam." I curtsied slightly and saluted. Lady Xue reached out to help me up. "This child, he's so courteous." I took off a jade ring from my waist and handed it to her. I respectfully received it with my head lowered. Behind me, Lu Ping also received the gift. Mrs. Cai no longer paid attention to me. Together with Mrs. Xue, they followed Mother through the Moon Cave Gate and into the main courtyard.

A group of maidservants dressed in bright clothes stood on both sides of the door. They saw that our group of people approached them, squatted down, and bowed together before coming up to help with the curtain.

Entering the door, one could hear the chirping of the birds and the soft cries of soft voices. The fragrance was extremely tempting. After turning a small screen, he saw the Xue Clan's women. Old Lady Xue wore a red veil on her head, her hair was a little silver, and she carefully tucked the hairpin behind her head. She wore a long golden hairpin, and had a pair of gold earrings by her ear, but had nothing else to wear.

Before I could take a closer look, Mrs. Xue stepped forward and grabbed my wrist.

"Old Ancestor, look, you're going to beat our little girls down this time!" Third Wife was like a butterfly as she jumped into Old Mrs. Xue's arms. Mrs. Xue let her mother take the first chair to the left while she sat beside her mother.

"A clever child." Old Lady Xue giggled as she embraced Third Wife. I went up to pay my respects but the old lady didn't even raise her head to look at me. I respectfully withdrew. The young maid came over to help me take off my clothes.

Dang, in such a cheerful atmosphere, seemed to stand out. The first lady's teacup fell to the ground and splashed all over her body. She didn't know it, but she just sat there in a chair, staring at me, unable to say anything. Her face was full of shock.

A smile of satisfaction crossed his mother's face.
