Chapter 126 Questions
It's just that Dong Shu is not the time when she didn't know anything before. She just glanced at the list, and she probably knew that the people on the list were all people who had to be invited.

But since they are all families who want to invite them, based on this calculation, as long as each family brings one or two juniors, then their family's banquet this time may require at least three tables to sit down.

As for whether they would bring their juniors here, Dong Shu had no doubts at all.

After Dong Shu also entered the palace this time, she heard that her sister-in-law intended to marry the Zhang family and realized that the banquets of these families were the best chance for the female relatives to see each other.

Since they want to see each other, they will definitely bring the younger generation with them.

What's more, some female relatives want to take the junior who has not been engaged and no one has asked for a walk, so that others will know that there is such a junior in their family and they are going to discuss marriage.

It was for this reason that even though Dong Shu's post was addressed to a certain wife, it was expected that she would bring two more juniors along.

Just as Dong Shu thought of this, Mrs. Xu said again: "Your sister-in-law and second sister-in-law will probably come back this time, don't forget."

As soon as Mrs. Xu finished speaking, Dong Shu nodded to express her understanding.

At the same time, Dong Shu also increased the original plan of three tables to four tables in her heart.

Both the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law have juniors who are waiting to get married, and they will definitely bring them along.

Seeing that Dong Shu understood what she meant, Mrs. Xu told her to go back and get ready.

Dong Shu didn't refuse either, she didn't know it before, but now after being taught by Nanny Yan, Dong Shu understood that it is not enough to prepare a banquet a day or two in advance.

Some ingredients need to be prepared several days in advance.

The Xu family had just started preparing for the banquet, buying ingredients that were not available at home, and the well-informed family over there also received the news.

Everyone is waiting for the Xu family's post this time. After waiting for a day, the people who received the post are naturally very happy. After all, most of the officials in the capital know that the third wife of the Xu family is loved by the empress.

And those who did not receive the post, those who had no friendship with the Xu family before, were fine, but there were a few families who had a good relationship with the Xu family before, but this time they did not receive the post. The focus of discussion after tea and dinner.

The families that can stand tall in the capital are not fools. These families had a good relationship with the Xu family before, and the old lady in one family was the handkerchief that the old lady Xu gave before she got married.

But this time, I didn't receive a post from the Xu family. This matter always makes people think about it.

Thinking about it this way, I had a good thing to check, and after checking, I found out something.

"These two families were the ones who fell into trouble after the Xu family's accident. I don't blame or resent the Xu family's political opponents, but the men in these two families were all promoted by your father-in-law." Mrs. Xu I also heard about the rumors in the capital in the past two days, so I told Dong Shu about these things after I got better mentally.

"Our Xu family won't take the initiative to pick things up, but it's impossible for us to pretend that we don't know anything and keep in touch with them." Mrs. Xu watched Dong Shu say this and saw her nodding. He continued: "In the future, you don't have to be polite when you meet the female relatives of these two families outside. What they did back then was not covered up, and many people in the capital knew about it."

Dong Shu listened carefully to Mrs. Xu's words, even if there was something she didn't understand, she didn't question her.

She understands that it doesn't matter if she doesn't understand now, but as long as she remembers what her mother-in-law said, it's fine.

What's more, Dong Shu has never been embarrassed to ask a question. If there is something she doesn't understand, she will wait for Mrs. Xu to finish speaking, and then take the initiative to ask.

"Mother, if I meet the female relatives of these two families in the future, if they don't take the initiative to talk to me, I will ignore them. If they take the initiative to talk to me, what should I do?" Dong Shu understood what the old lady Xu said. It's just that she felt that she might not be able to grasp the speed well.

As soon as her words came out, Mrs. Xu understood what she meant.

At the same time, I couldn't help sighing in my heart, how long has passed, and my third daughter-in-law, who didn't understand anything before, understood so many twists and turns.

The big dye vat in the capital really deserves its reputation.

"I thought that these two families would not take the initiative to provoke our family as long as they want to save face. But there is another situation, they will bully you who don't know anything, and use you to clean up what they did in the past .”

After all, Mrs. Xu has experienced a lot. As soon as she opened her mouth, she said what the two families might do.

Dong Shu listened carefully to her mother-in-law's words, and only then did she take the initiative to say: "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 female relatives in the future.

After all, now that the Xu family has returned to the capital, their female relatives will definitely have diplomacy.

The capital city is said to be big, but it’s actually quite small. Every family can always get a little relationship with each other. For example, the two old lady Xu mentioned just now, one family is related to the Zhang family, and the other family is somewhat related to the Hu family. .

They are all close relatives, and they will always meet each other in the future, so Dong Shu doesn't know what to do.

It's fine for her to pretend she doesn't know those two families, but if the two families insist on talking to her at that time, how can she handle it well?

She understood that as long as she was a little unclear, the two families might take this opportunity to say that their family had a good relationship with the Xu family.

Dong Shu didn't understand this at first, but Nanny Yan had talked to her a lot recently, and every time she saw her aunt and eldest niece, they would also tell her something about this.

Although Dong Shu felt that there were a lot of these things, she was not bothered. She even felt that she had to work harder to do what the wife of the family should do, and not to hold back her husband.

The old lady Xu also understood this, so after hearing Dong Shu's words, she nodded and said, "It's okay to ignore them directly. If someone helps introduce you, you can also push it to me and say I have told you not to let you have any contact with these two families of women. You don’t have to be afraid of offending them. When their families fell into trouble at the beginning, our family and their families tore apart. Now the people who are staring at our Xu family There are too many, and it is not appropriate to make friends with so many powerful families, so you can speak directly without worrying about the face of the two of them."

Mrs. Xu knew that Dong Shu was not a very smart person, but she also knew that although Dong Shu was not smart, she was obedient.

Sure enough, as soon as I said this, I saw her nodding seriously.

Dong Shu really took Mrs. Xu's words to heart, and she will carry it out very well in the future.

Mrs. Xu did not expect that what she said today would teach Dong Shu to such a temperament.

Seeing Dong Shu nodding her head in response, Mrs. Xu continued, "Our family, the Zhang family, the Hu family, and Duan Wang's mansion are all in-laws. Although the Jiang family is not an official, there are your second sister-in-law and Yan Zhu. In the end, they are also in-laws. These in-laws should all know what happened in our family back then, and generally there will be no people who don’t understand who will come forward to help talk. Moreover, our social circles are similar. When we go out in the future, if If you don’t know what to do when you encounter something, you can ask your sister-in-law or sister.”

The old lady Xu only mentioned Ye Shi and Xu Nuanwen and did not mention Jiang Shi and Yan Zhu. She also knew that they were smart people, knew what to do and what not to do, and understood that they would be twisted together outside.

However, Jiang's and Yanzhu's identities are worse.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu also said directly to Dong Shu: "In the future, if you are going to work outside, if someone provokes your three-bedroom relationship, you don't have to be afraid to speak back. No matter how many conflicts there are in our family, it's okay to go out. They are all one family, and cannot be provoked by others."

Dong Shu listened carefully to Mrs. Xu's teaching, and after remembering these words in her heart, she began to think about talking to her husband when he came back in the evening.

It's just that Dong Shu didn't expect that in the middle of the afternoon, a heavy rainstorm didn't stop until midnight.

Because of the torrential rain, Xu Shiqiu did not come back either. Fortunately, he was on duty for another day the next day, and the third day was the day to take a rest.

After a night of heavy rain, although the flowers in Xu's yard were knocked down a lot, it was much cooler after the rain.

Even Yuan Xi looked more energetic than the previous few days.

Tomorrow is the day for the Xu family to have a banquet. Today, Dong Shu is busier than the previous few days. Fortunately, Mrs. Xu arranged for two maids to come over to help, so that Dong Shu can prepare the necessary dinner for tomorrow in the middle of the afternoon. Everything is ready.

Because tomorrow is the day for banquets, the food for the Xu family tonight is simple.

Dong Shu asked someone to cook big bone soup, while she led the servants and maids to wrap a lot of wontons, and prepared to eat them with bone soup after they were cooked.

Dong Shu hasn't cooked in person for a long time, and she will cook today, firstly because the weather is cooler, and secondly because Xu Shiqiu didn't come back yesterday, so she can eat food made by herself when she comes back today. The last point is naturally Yuanxi Now I can eat some boiled rotten noodles.

Dong Shu thought to herself that it was the first time her Yuan Xi ate food other than milk, and she was extra careful when preparing the dough.

According to the nanny's instructions, the noodles are soft and soft, rolled out thinly, and boiled a little bit.

Dong Shu didn't make too much, but it was only half a bowl. She took a small silver spoon and smashed the boiled dough into finer pieces, and then fed the bowl to Yuan Xi who had already put on a bib.

When Xu Shiqiu came back, he happened to see this scene. His little lady, holding a silver bowl, was seriously feeding his daughter.

Seeing such a scene, Xu Shiqiu suddenly felt that what he discovered in the barracks today was not a problem at all, and he must be able to think of a way to solve it.
