Mrs. Guo shook her head slightly, winked slightly, and smiled, "The capital is not far from Datong. I see that the customs and customs are similar."

What these words meant, Mrs. Qiao instantly understood in her heart. She was really not a villain. Who could be so simple and careless?Didn’t Mrs. Guo also come later?

Listen to what he said again. Where is the customs and customs? It means that people in the capital do not need to be noble, and people in Datong are not much different.

Qiao's face remained unchanged, but her heart was a little colder.The elders always have to argue with each other, and Guo Yi's child is a good one. Mrs. Guo doesn't realize it. You are a high-ranking person in this marriage. Since they all came to the capital, they are already overwhelmed.

The two people chatted and laughed and went inside the house.

The female relatives all got up according to the rules. Qiao also did it on purpose. She introduced An Hongshao first. Even if you are a junior from the Duke's mansion, you have to salute.

An Hongshao stopped her. They are all relatives and there is no need to be particular about it, but after all, you have to be polite to others.

Then came Mrs. Li, the countess, then her aunt, and then her daughter-in-law.

After all this time, Mrs. Guo could not maintain the arrogance she had when she first arrived.

If you have the ability, tell me. Beijing is similar to Datong?In Datong, have you ever seen so many high-status ladies in one room?

After everyone sat down, Mrs. Qiao waved to Li Yuyin, "I am my daughter Yuyin. Because the distance is not convenient, we used to exchange letters."

Li Yuyin smiled and said politely, "Aunt Guo is well."

Mrs. Guo smiled and held Li Yuyin's hand, "She is indeed an iconic girl."

With that said, he beckoned the girl to hand over a brocade box, saying it was a meeting gift for Li Yuyin.

After Li Yuyin thanked him, he returned to his seat.

Everyone wanted to chat, but Mr. Li couldn't ask about Datong.

Mrs. Guo cleared her throat, "Looking at it, it's not much different from the capital."

Still some rhetoric.

After hearing this, Mrs. Li chuckled and said, "I guess Datong is also a prosperous place. I heard that Shanxi merchants are very famous. I have always seen it in books. However, there are many roads in Datong Mountain and it is difficult to walk. The imperial court gave Xiu Guan There is a lot of money from Dao every year, but there is never enough money there, and I wonder if Mrs. Guo’s journey has been bumpy?"

Mrs. Li looked curious when she asked this question, but as the wife of the county magistrate, could Mrs. Guo answer easily?If it is not bumpy, then the official system is very good. Why does Datong ask for money from the court every year?

But if it’s bumpy and you don’t even have a good road, how can you compare it with the capital?
Not to mention the county magistrate's wife, even if the prefect's wife came, she would still be unable to answer.

Mrs. Guo could only lower her head and sip her tea, feeling very confused.

"It's hard for us to talk about court matters." After thinking about it, he had no choice but to change the subject.

The eldest aunt cleared her throat. She couldn't even listen anymore, but she just wanted to ask if the way was easy. Why couldn't she say more?
However, there was no place for her to talk. She picked up the pastry and took a few bites.

"No, let's stop talking about the court affairs." Mrs. Qiao has always been a good person here. As soon as Mrs. Guo said it, she quickly took over to avoid making Mrs. Guo look bad.

After a pause, he continued, "Datong is a place full of outstanding people. I don't know what's going on here. Looking at Mr. Xiao Guo, he has a dignified and extraordinary appearance, but he is no worse than the sons of the capital."

Speaking of her son, Mrs. Guo was very proud and raised her head again, "I can't say anything else, but I can't boast about this child. He has been smart since he was a child. He is outstanding in horseback riding and archery, but he still knows how to read. , lo and behold, the first time I went to Beijing to take the exam, I won the Jinshi. In our place, he is also a famous talent around, and the matchmaker almost broke the door of the house. I was afraid that the marriage would distract him, so the marriage has been delayed. "

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Guo paused deliberately, and then slowly looked at Li Yuyin.

I'm saving face here, so I can't neglect Li Yuyin, so I should mention it at this time.It was precisely because of the delay that Li Yuyin got a good marriage.

But before she opened her mouth, Mrs. Li said with a smile beside her, "It's not like he has any future. I remember how many exams that kid got? He was pretty good."

It is enough to say that it is on the list. Except for the first few, no one wants to nominate it.

Mainly, it doesn't sound good when you carry it.

An Hongshao tilted his head and covered his lips with a handkerchief to hide his suppressed smile.

After taking over [-] exams and going to the prime minister's office to show off, you know that mothers only care about their sons, but you have to be somewhat self-aware.

Mrs. Guo was embarrassed to speak, so she subconsciously looked at Mr. Qiao, who had always been kind to her.

Qiao took over the conversation and said, "There are not many, but to be on the list is to be one of the students selected from a million, which is not easy."

Mrs. Qiao said, Mrs. Guo was still nodding beside her.

Then, Qiao changed the topic and looked at An Hongshao with a smile, "It's just that after all, Mr. Xiao Guo has just entered the court, and he will have to be supported by the Duke in the future."

An Hongshao stood up quickly and blessed Mrs. Qiao slightly, "Auntie's words have gone unnoticed."

Then, he looked at Mrs. Guo.

Mrs. Guo couldn't stand still, so she could only slightly bow her head and thank the Duke's wife in advance.

After An Hongshao sat firmly, she raised her eyebrows at Li Yuyin secretly. Now she felt relieved.

Mrs. Guo has a pride of her own, and she does make the same mistake that many people do. When she reaches a high level, she just thinks that it is because of her son's ability.But Mrs. Guo is not smart enough. Look at how she is being fooled by Mr. Qiao and Mr. Li. It seems that she still thinks that Mr. Qiao is easy to talk to.

Anyone who is familiar with the Li family, who is not allowed to confront Mr. Qiao and keep their spirits up?

For a person like this, if he can't cause trouble, even if he does, he is no match for Mr. Qiao.

Li Yuyin just relaxed.

The female family members chatted for a while, and then went to the front hall when it was time to eat.

After all, Mrs. Guo was the guest today. Mrs. Qiao led her out first, so she still had to save some face for her.

An Hongshao stood next to Ms. Li and gave her a thumbs up secretly. Just now, her mother and her second aunt had a red face and a white face, and they acted extremely well.

Mrs. Li deliberately patted the back of An Hongshao's hand, "Do you even dare to make fun of your mother?"

Li Yuyin also deliberately lagged a few steps behind and leaned in front of them, "My aunt is a role model for girls in my Li family."

Mrs. Li looked at her niece helplessly, "You." But she muttered a few words in a low voice, "It's fortunate that his family lives in Datong and you don't live together. Otherwise, it would be against Mrs. Guo and this marriage would not count. A good match."

Since you are getting married, your whole family will have to coax you to get married. If you want to climb high, you must have the consciousness to climb high.

Mrs. Guo is definitely the kind of person who will set rules for her daughter-in-law after they get married.

Li Shi mentioned it, and Li Yuyin knew it.After they got married, Guo Yi was a Beijing official and couldn't go out. Li Yuyin didn't act like a filial piety when he went to see his two elders, and stayed as far away as possible. (End of chapter)
