Mrs. Wu invited Mrs. Xu's family to come to the house, and Qiao Wei also wanted to accompany the guests. Naturally, she couldn't leave, so she had to ask You Ye to go to Sijinchang to check the situation.

"Maybe my elder sister hasn't come to the house to try my handicraft for a long time. This Du Heng wine was just released yesterday. Since it's here today, you should have a good taste." Mrs. Wu welcomed it very warmly.

What Qiao Wei arranged was the Qushui Banquet, which is a kind of banquet derived from the Qushui Flowing Cup Banquet in the Shangsi Festival. He specially built a Qushui wooden table, and dug the middle to imitate the shape of a canal, with upstream and downstream points After pouring clean water, float the wine glass and delicacies on the surface of the water.

Mrs. Xu took a sip of the wine in the glass and nodded slightly, "The taste is refreshing and the aftertaste is sweet."

Madam Wu was affirmed, and said to Xu Muhua, "Hua'er will try it too."

Xu Muhua looked at Mrs. Xu and asked if she could drink.

Mrs. Xu nodded slightly, "Let's take a sip." Fu turned to Mrs. Wu and explained, "She is from a daughter's family, and she can't drink alcohol. joke."

"It doesn't matter, some people can drink and some can't, it's nothing."

Qiao Wei got up, "It's my concubine's lack of thoughtfulness, but there are still some fruit drinks in the dining room, I wonder if sister Xu can drink?"

"It's all right, thank you Mrs. Joe."

Mrs. Wu replied with a smile, "We will be a family in the future, so there is no need to be so polite."

Mrs. Xu just had a faint smile on the corner of her mouth and didn't answer.

Xiao Ye came back with the fruit drink, Qiao Wei poured a cup for Xu Muhua, "This is lotus drink, I wonder if it suits Xu's little sister's taste."

"It's all right, thank you Mrs. Joe."

Follow the rules, a little cold.

Qiao Wei didn't care too much, she had seen Xu Muhua's temperament before when she was a guest at Xu's house with Mrs. Wu, and she was very alienated from others. She had also heard some women from aristocratic families say that Xu Muhua was lonely and unsociable .

After Xu Muhua drank a cup, he suddenly took the initiative to bring up the topic, "Actually, I don't like lotus drink. When I was young at home, my third sister liked this taste the most. At this time of year, I always secretly hide it in the house. A little, when I return from the school, I will take a few sisters to have a drink."

Between the sisters, the childhood friendship is always missed, "When we were young in Wancheng, my sister Xiao Qiao and I often hid some forbidden food behind our parents' backs.

When I was a child, I always felt that such tricks could be concealed. In fact, my parents had already seen through it, but they never revealed it. "

Xu Muhua gently put down the cup in his hand, "Since Mrs. Qiao also has sisters, she must be able to understand my daughter's request. I heard that the third sister was seriously ill, and she couldn't stay here for several months, and she couldn't see guests. I don't know if her condition has improved now. Can my daughter Want to meet the third sister?"

Qiao Wei didn't react for a while, "If my younger sister wants to see her sister, why do you ask me instead?"

"My little girl's elder sister is Madam's eldest sister-in-law, the wife of Marquis Wu in the Sun's family."

Qiao Wei was startled, but then realized that the same surname was Xu, so they were sisters from the same clan.

"It's been less than a month since I returned to the Sun's house, and I don't know much about the affairs of the mansion. Please don't take offense at the Xu family sister." Qiao Wei replied with a smile, "It's human nature for a younger sister to want to visit her sister. But Mrs. Xu's I am not very clear about the condition, if the sister of the Xu family is interested, she might as well ask Mrs. Xu what she means first."

Mrs. Xu has been confined for three or four months, even if the daughter of an ordinary family is sick, the relatives of her mother's family should have come to visit.

Qiao Wei has been back to Sun's house for so long, and she has never received a message from relatives of Xu's family, wanting to visit Mrs. Xu's condition.

Obviously, the reason for this is that Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Xu must have passed each other, and the two families have tacitly agreed.The Xu family's wavering attitude towards the marriage contract between Xu Muhua and Sun Yi must have something to do with Mrs. Xu's current situation.

He was afraid that he would be dissatisfied with the Sun family because of Mrs. Xu's confinement, but also unwilling to untie the interests of the Sun family.

Especially when the news of the three Sun brothers being conferred Marquis came back to Wu County, Mrs. Xu also changed her previous indifferent attitude and brought Xu Muhua to visit after receiving the invitation.

But Mrs. Xu has never mentioned Mrs. Xu's matter, and the Xu family has completely given up on Mrs. Xu.

Qiao Wei could only vaguely remind Xu Muhua that if she wanted to gain a foothold in the Sun family in the future, the less she knew about Mrs. Xu's affairs, the better, and she should not interfere, lest she would get burned.

I don't know if Xu Muhua understood Qiao Wei's reminder, but she did not mention it again during the dinner.

Until the rice noodles were used up, Mrs. Wu took the initiative to mention Sun Yi's return trip, "My family Ji Bi wrote a letter a few days ago, saying that the army returned triumphantly, and he is already on his way back with the army. I think he will arrive in a few days."

Mrs. Wu gave Qiao Wei a wink, which Qiao Wei understood in seconds.

This meant that he wanted to start a marriage discussion with Mrs. Xu, so it would be inconvenient for Xu Muhua to be present.

"I heard that Xu's younger sister, Shen Hao, has a few patterns in my room, which are new, but I'm clumsy, and I can't make them look good after a few days of embroidery. My sister may appreciate the face, so go and have a look?"

Mrs. Xu was very pleased, "If Mu Hua can find love with Mrs. Qiao, it will be her blessing."

He waved to Xu Muhua, "Go ahead and have a good talk with Mrs. Qiao."

Xu Muhua said yes, and followed Qiao Wei obediently.When we arrived at Juxu Pavilion, Qiao Rong was already there.

Qiao Wei doesn't understand the matter of female celebrities, but Qiao Rong does. Besides, the two of them are more similar in age, so they can chat for a while.

But Xu Muhua looked at the flowers that Qiao Rong brought out, and his expression didn't change much, "Actually, the way of young girls and female reds is not profound, and I seldom delve into it on weekdays."

Qiao Rong didn't mind either, and immediately asked Xiaoyue to accept the flowery appearance, "Then what does Elder sister of the Xu family learn at home?"

"Study, practice calligraphy, practice piano, study chess." Xu Muhua's eyes were dark, although he was answering Qiao Rong's words, but his eyes stared at Qiao Wei's face from time to time, revealing a trace of doubt in his eyes.

"It's about playing chess. It sounds interesting, and there are few others who can play with sisters in the boudoir."

"There are not many sisters in my family. In the past, the three sisters could talk to me a few words. The other sisters didn't like to play with me."

"Why?"

Qiao Wei couldn't help being curious.

"Because the words always come true, the more ominous the words are, the more alienated the sisters are."

Meaning, the legendary crow's mouth?

Qiao Wei didn't really believe in these things, "It's ominous to say nothing, but you're just talking about the meaning of heaven, so why is it ominous."

Xu Muhua's face was slightly moved, "Madam really think so?"

Qiao Wei nodded.

Xu Muhua breathed a sigh of relief, "Actually, there may be twists and turns in my marriage with the third son. In front of Madam Wu, I don't dare to say too much. The Sun family may be ruined. Madam, make preparations early!"
