Chapter 323 Show Off Your Wealth

February is the season when everything wakes up. The trees in the yard have already sprouted buds, and the soil under the trees is also bursting with greenery.

Yuxi first tried to play Wu Qinxi for more than a quarter of an hour. In the first few days, my whole body was in pain, and I couldn't walk stably without someone to support me. Ordinary people would have given up a long time ago, but Yuxi persisted, persisting for half a month. So far, it has been much better.

After breakfast, Mother Qu came over and said, "Madam, the tea, cakes and fruits are all ready." Today Yuxi is hosting a banquet for Yunqing's confidantes and wives.

Yu Xi hummed and said: "In half an hour, they should be here." She should also put on makeup now. Although she does not need to dress up to attend, she will not look very good and needs to put on makeup.

For this banquet, one is to tell everyone that she is in good health, so that people outside will not always guess how long she can live; the other is to communicate with the ladies and enhance their relationship.

As soon as Yu Xi put on her make-up, she heard the servant girl say that Second Grandma Zhao had come. She hadn't changed her clothes yet, so she couldn't meet people, so she asked Second Grandma Zhao to wait in the living room.

Second Grandma Zhao knew that Yu Xi was very particular about her, so she was not dissatisfied. When she saw Yuxi coming out, she said with a smile: "Your dress is so pretty, I'm afraid you won't be able to find another one in Yucheng."

Yu Xi was wearing a twelve-panel Yuehua skirt, which had many folds, and she walked very gracefully. This skirt was still made in the capital that day, but it has been left unworn.

Yuxi smiled and said: "The absence of Yucheng does not mean that there is no Pickaxe City. At that time, you can make as many pieces as you want." Pickaxe City is much more prosperous than here.

Grandma Zhao's heart froze, she said with a smile: "Forget it, I don't care about these things at such an old age, I will make a few more for Ziyao." This dress is not cheap at first glance, she herself should not waste it money.

Yuxi didn't quite agree with Second Grandma Zhao's point of view, and said, "What do you mean by being so old? You are only twenty-five this year!"

Grandma Zhao said with a smile: "I'm old, how can I compare to you, and I don't look more than sixteen or seventeen years old!"

Before Yu Xi could speak, she heard Licorice say: "Madam, Madam Feng is here."

Grandma Zhao gave a cry, and said in surprise, "Why did the Chang family come here today?" Feng Dajun's wife's surname is Chang.

Chang's great-grandfather was dispatched to Yucheng by the imperial court, and later settled down in Yucheng. Chang's appearance is average, and she married Feng Dajun because her father saved Feng Dajun's life. However, because of her own birth, Chang seldom appeared at the banquet.

Yuxi personally went to the yard to welcome Mrs. Chang into the house. Don't look at the face of the monk or the face of the Buddha, but look at Feng Dajun as Yunqing's powerful arm, and she also wants to entertain Mrs. Chang well.

Chang Shi didn't want to come at first, she was not used to such occasions, and always felt out of place. But in the end, she was persuaded by the mother-in-law next to her. Mrs. Yun's personal post, if you don't come, will you not give Mrs. Yun face.

Second Grandma Zhao looked at Mrs. Chang and frowned. This Chang family is too good at dressing herself up. Just dressed in crimson red clothes, combed a bun, and wearing a golden hairpin, those who didn't know thought it was the mother in the mansion!

But Yuxi smiled and asked people to serve tea and fruit snacks. This time, Yu Xirang made many kinds of cakes, including hibiscus cake, osmanthus cake, red bean and jujube cake, crystal dragon and phoenix cake, purple dragon cake, peach cake and biscuits of various shapes.

Chang looked at the biscuit and found it very strange, so he took a piece and ate it. After eating, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's delicious, I don't know how this thing is made?"

Yuxi smiled and said: "It is fine flour, mixed with milk, if Madam is interested, I will take the recipe back and try it myself later." This is the first time making biscuits. Yuxi didn't like to eat this, so the mansion never appeared.

Chang didn't give in, and said directly: "Thank you, Ma'am." My daughter must like this food. Chang gave birth to a son and a daughter. The daughter is very picky eater and refuses to eat many things. This made her very worried, and it made her think that her daughter should like this beautiful and delicious snack.

Second Grandma Zhao pretended to be very sour on purpose,

Said: "Yuxi, you are too mean, this prescription is only for Mrs. Feng and not for me."

Chang's was a little restrained, feeling that she had caused trouble for Yu Xi.

But Yuxi smiled at her and said, "She's joking! Madam Feng doesn't need to worry. She has recipes like Amethyst Cake." It's true that Grandma Zhao has a recipe, but why is there no such cake as Mama Bai? It's delicious. This made Mrs. Zhao Er particularly frustrated.

Other people who were invited to the banquet also came over one after another. But when the last one, Xiang Weiguo's wife, Yan Shi, came in, the room fell silent.

This Yan family is wearing a bright red dress, combing a peony bun, pinning a gemstone-dotted emerald bead hairpin on the left side, and wearing a golden silk inlaid ruby ​​double Luan dot emerald step on the right, and a large ruby-like flower on the back. There are red jadeite drop earrings on it, a finely crafted bead-inlaid gold necklace around the neck, two gemstone rings on the fingers, and a red gold glue silk bracelet on the wrist of the right hand.

Looking at Yan's clothes, Yu Xi frowned. What happened to Weiguo? Remind him early to tell Yan Shi not to be too flamboyant, all her feelings are nonsense.

Grandma Zhao held back her smile and said, "Mrs. Xiang, these jewels of yours are enough to buy a fifth-tier house in the best location in Xinping City." This is not for a banquet, it is clearly for an exhibition of jewelry . Anyway, all she saw were these jewels and no people.

Yan's looks very beautiful, besides Yu Xi, she has the most outstanding appearance. Hearing this, Yan raised her eyebrows and said proudly: "We have already bought a five-entry house in Xinping City."

Second Grandma Zhao deliberately put on an envious look and said, "General Xiang is really capable, and sister Yan is blessed." The other families present may not have won as many gold, silver and jewels as Xiang Weiguo. But even if other people wear it, they usually only wear one or two pieces, unlike Yan Shi, who wished to wear all the jewelry on their body.

Yan Shi liked this kind of compliment very much, and said: "That's right. Back then, my father valued my husband's outstanding ability, so he married me to her."

Yuxi felt that Yan's mind was filled with bean curd dregs, otherwise she wouldn't be able to hear the sarcasm of Grandma Zhao. Yu Xi smiled and said, "Mrs. Xiang, please sit down!" The Yan family also came to the previous banquets. However, although the Yan family was very proud at that time, he was not as ostentatious as he is now.

Yuxi knows the details of the Yan family. The Yan family is from Xinping City, and his father is a small businessman. Because of his outstanding appearance, Xiang Weiguo took a fancy to him.

Xiang Weiguo sent someone to propose a marriage. At that time, the lion of the Yan family asked for a bride price of five thousand taels of silver. Xiang Weiguo really liked the Yan family, but he didn't save so much money in a big way. In the end, he begged in front of Yunqing, and then he collected the betrothal gifts.

Since she was young, because of her outstanding appearance, her family treated her family like treasures. After she got married, she used to be petty from time to time, and she favored Wei Guo. The two of them are so happy that even if Yan's hasn't given birth yet, Xiang Weiguo doesn't care.

Yan's seemed to be a no-brainer, and Xiang Weiguo still let her go, which made Yuxi a little worried. Xiang Weiguo is in charge of military supplies, once he has a bad idea, there will be a big problem at that time.

Seeing that the bottom chair was empty, Yan looked a little dissatisfied. But no matter how brainless she is, she also knows that this occasion is not something she can act wildly.

No matter who Yu Xi is, looking at her face, she knows that she is not very satisfied with such an arrangement. But this time the banquet was hosted by Yunqing's confidantes, and their age and official titles were not too far apart, so Yuxi didn't prioritize, they all came first, first served. Yan Shi was the last one to arrive, so naturally he sat in the last seat.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Du Zheng's wife, Mrs. Bao, said, "Ma'am, why haven't you seen the eldest girl? I heard from my master that the eldest girl is well-raised." I want the child to be strong. This shows that the child is well-fed and will not die young.

Yuxi didn't hold back, and ordered the licorice beside her and said: "Go let them carry out both the eldest girl and the second girl."

Everyone present had seen Zao Zao before, but this was the first time Liu Er had seen her. As soon as Zaozao saw Yuxi, she called out cheerfully: "Mother."

Yuxi hugged her and patted her back lightly. This little guy is so edible that he eats four meals a day, not including fruit snacks. It was because Yuxi controlled her properly, and Zaozao was very active, otherwise she would definitely grow into a little chubby girl.

Mrs. Feng looked at Liu'er. Although this child was a little weak, his facial features and skin looked real. Mrs. Feng is not a complimenter, but looking at Liu'er, she couldn't help but said: "This child is really good-looking, Madam, whoever proposes marriage will definitely break the threshold of your family."

It is the greatest pride of being a parent to have a female family. With a smile all over her face, Yuxi said, "You're too much." Praising a child makes people happier than praising her as a mother.

When Bao saw Liu'er, he smiled and said, "Second Miss is so icy and cute, I want to take her home." Zao Zao is strong and strong, but she looks like a boy, not as cute as Liu'er.

Yan glanced at her, and said with a smile on her face: "I remember your second kid is only three years old. If you really like it so much, then you can make a baby kiss!"

As soon as Yan's words fell, the originally lively scene fell silent instantly.

Second Grandma Zhao opened her mouth, but she remained silent in the end. She didn't know what Yuxi meant, so she didn't interrupt casually.

Feng Dajun's wife, Chang, usually doesn't speak on such occasions, but this time she said for the first time: "Baby relatives are the worst. When you grow up, you don't have a good temperament. A noisy couple is not beautiful. "Chang's words came from the bottom of his heart.

Bao Shi was a little depressed, those who didn't know thought she really wanted to marry the Yun family! Just complimenting the child a few words, how could this matter be caused!

Yuxi said with a smile; "Judging from Mrs. Feng's tone, I should have heard or seen similar things? If it's convenient, you might as well tell us."

Mrs. Chang regretted it as soon as she finished speaking. Seeing that Yuxi was not angry, she felt slightly relieved: "My aunt's husband's sister-in-law's niece is the promised baby relative. As a result, the two children are short-tempered and violent. Stop." This relative is really far away.

Yuxi nodded and said: "Yes! We still need people with congenial temperaments to be harmonious." These words easily revealed what happened just now. R8
