Chapter 80: So there really is such a magnanimous wife in this world
"I only look at our sister Yan's behavior during this period, and I feel that she is much more stable now. It seems that my daughter is so smart."
Qiao Weisheng, still wearing official robes, walked in with a rosy face and a smile, obviously very happy.
Qiao Yuyan quickly stood up, saluted and called "Dad".
Mrs. Xu was a little embarrassed, "Master, you are not praising my sister, you are clearly talking about me!"
The smile on Qiao Weisheng's face faltered, and he quickly smiled, "What did the lady say? I'm just praising the lady for her intelligence, which is why we gave birth to our sister Yan!"
Although this was not the first time he had seen his parents like this, Qiao Yuyan still blushed a little when thinking about how solemn they were in front of them.
How could she think that her parents had a bad relationship in her previous life?
Qiao Weisheng probably noticed that his daughter was uncomfortable, so he quickly sat up straight and asked about things in the house.
Mrs. Xu then said: "Now that the matter is over, you should go to Yayi's place and have a look. I think she has become a little thinner these days. She was not feeling well a few days ago. Although the doctor didn't notice it, she might have some symptoms."
It’s harmful to the heat.”
Qiao Weisheng frowned when he heard this, and looking at his wife's concerned expression, he nodded and said, "Then I'll go to her place after dinner to have a look."
After he entered the clean room, Qiao Yuyan looked at Mrs. Xu with a puzzled look, "Mom, you...do you really not mind if daddy goes to Aunt Pei's place?"
Mrs. Xu pursed her lips and smiled, "What's the matter? Why do you, a kid, ask about this? Aunt Pei is your father's concubine. Do I have to keep her in check and not call her?"
Then you don’t have to push him over with your own hands, right?
Qiao Yuyan said silently in her heart, but seeing that Mrs. Xu really didn't care at all, she swallowed the words again.
That night, after the family had a lively banquet at Ninghetang, Qiao Weisheng went to Qiyun Pavilion.
Qiao Yuyan sent Mrs. Xu to Furong Pavilion. The mother and daughter were still chatting along the way, and Mrs. Xu did not show any sign of being unhappy.
It turns out that there really is such a generous wife in this world.
Perhaps Aunt Pei's illness was really a serious one, but she seemed to be much better the next day, and she even went out for a walk.
At the same time, the appointment documents of the Ministry of Personnel were also sent to the Qiao family. It was probably because the emperor personally appointed him, so this process went down much faster than normal.
From then on, Qiao Weipeng became a real fourth-rank official, and his cyan official robe was replaced by crimson.
The old lady looked at the two brothers, who were almost the same height, with a smile on her face more than ever before.
Qiao said that as soon as Peng Zhejiang was promoted, there were many sharp-eyed people in Beijing, and soon people came to pay their respects.
Qiao Weisheng also had several Qingke ministers living in the house, but they were in the front yard, which had nothing to do with Qiao Yuyan.
If it had not been a day for the Qiao brothers to take a bath, this kind of matter would have been handled by the Qing guests outside.
But the female relatives inside had to worry about entertaining, from tea to dinner, as well as their preferences, which added a lot of things to Qiao Yuyan.
However, in the past, when ladies and girls from other families came to visit, it was mostly Xu who received them, and most of the invitations addressed them as Xu, but now they usually bring Yao.
Now that Yao has a fourth-grade imperial edict, he naturally has more confidence in going out and about. When talking to others, he is no longer just Xu's foil as before.
Mrs. Xu simply used the excuse of raising a fetus, and pushed away those she could, and tried her best to let Mrs. Yao receive her.
What's more, when she came to the door at this time, Qiao Weipeng's heart was naturally burning, and she had no interest in being a guest.
Qiao Yuyan also knew that she was still not used to seeing her second wife's pride.
This kind of thing is not a mentality that can be changed overnight. Qiao Yuyan only occasionally offered some words of advice. If this made Xu irritable and disturbed the fetus in her belly, it would be more of a loss than a gain.
Along with the invitations to visit Qiao's residence, there are also more and more invitations to come to the residence.
Although Mrs. Yao is usually a bit petty and has a limited vision, she is a young lady from a serious official family.
When encountering such a thing, I also know that I can't be alone, especially if it's someone I don't know well, so I will give these greeting cards to the old lady one by one for review. Only after getting the old lady's approval can I dare to take the children out.
This time, the schedule was packed to the brim.
The old lady then added another sentence, "Sister Rong is almost thirteen. The children of the people who sent these invitations should also inquire about them. You should also have an idea of the ones you should refuse."
Yao was confused in other aspects, but the things that happened to her children were very clear, so she smiled and said: "My wife is also thinking about this matter, but you are well-informed, old lady, so I still want you to keep your eye on me."
They are all the same granddaughters. The old lady has no preference in her heart. Of course she will not refuse. She just said lightly: "I don't go out much now. I just compared the appearance of other people's homes in the past to give you a reference.
After all, it is your child, and the parents still have to make the decision about marriage."
In this way, everyone inside and outside the house knew that the three girls were now looking at each other, and they couldn't help but think of the Wen family from before.
But no one dares to spread rumors. Who knows which girl the Wen family wants to marry?
The post from the Wen family came in at this moment, but it was not Mrs. Wen, but the old lady of the Wen family. It was because of going to Daxiangguo Temple. The last time she didn't go, it seemed that the old lady of the Wen family still had two thoughts.
Let's go together again as a family.
He invited the old lady to go to the temple to offer incense on the tenth day of July. The old lady was already very interested, but she was still a little regretful that she didn't go last time. After receiving the invitation, she immediately agreed.
Qiao Yuning exchanged several letters with Wen Liang during this period, but in fact the contents were just about discussing poetry.
But what she can be sure of is that Wen Liang has a good impression of her. It just so happens that the old lady is going to Daxiangguo Temple, and Wen Liang will definitely be there. It is a good time for the two of them to get along.
This news relieved her bad mood in the past few days. Coupled with Aunt Pei's previous teachings, it became much more natural for her to get along with Qiao Yurong.
"Look at this attitude, my aunt will have a full schedule next month." The two sisters were sitting in the pavilion, Qiao Yuning joked about Qiao Yurong with a smile.
"Well, this is inevitable. They are all families with some connections. In fact, it is for my father's promotion. My mother will choose one or two, not all of them, those from small families.
Who can bear to socialize?"
Then he added: "But the day after tomorrow is my grandmother's birthday, so we have to go there."
"My wife's birthday?" Qiao Yuning rolled her eyes, "Logically, since we are so good, I should also go to celebrate my grandmother's birthday, but..."
