For a time, Sister-in-law Xie's husband's family also made some predictions.
Listening to each of them talking about their sons, each of whom was as promising as his father, who could read and take the first prize, Mrs. Yao almost burst into tears with laughter.
Fortunately, she maintained the elegance of a lady and covered it up with a veil, only revealing an upturned corner of her mouth.
One was deliberately trying to please, the other was accepting with a smile. This party was quite successful.
Mrs. Xie also took Mrs. Xie to see the twins from the Yao family. She felt that Mrs. Yao was not lying. One was indeed charming and the other was quiet. Their appearance was also nothing to say. Not only were they as beautiful as gods, but they were also
Absolutely outstanding.
In terms of rules and etiquette, the old nanny who has been waiting next to me also said that they are all very good. It just so happens that their second son also likes reading and writing, which matches Miss Yao Ba.
Not only did she say this, she also specially kept the calligraphy and paintings written by Miss Yao Ba at the party and handed them to Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie.
Mrs. Xie is also good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. One look at Miss Yao Ba's handwriting and you can tell that this little girl is a tolerant person and her character is just beginning to show. She is just a little young and needs more practice.
"How's it going? Not bad, right?" Sister-in-law Xie smiled when she saw her sister-in-law's satisfied expression, "I told you, the Yao family is a wealthy family from the capital. Even if it is now in decline, they still come from noble families.
How could the girl’s education be any worse?”
Mrs. Xie was a little embarrassed: "I am...not concerned about Xuefeng, not to mention they are coming from the capital and have no idea. Who knows whether the rumors outside may be exaggerated?"
"Now that you've seen it with your own eyes, are you relieved?"
"Since the nuns around my mother say that she has excellent rules and outstanding appearance, I am naturally happy."
"Hehehehe... I knew my sister-in-law would like it."
…
The Xie family's intentions soon came to Gu Qingling.
Gu Qingling was not surprised at all by this.
When she selected the partners for Miss Yao Qi and Miss Yao Ba, she had calculated the success rate, and she didn't bother with those whose success rate was too low.
The Xie family is quite powerful in the local area, but they have always stayed here, either because they have no ambition or because they are not strong enough. Gu Qingling feels that after so many generations, it is definitely not a matter of ambition, but of strength.
Now that the Yao family has taken the initiative to extend an olive branch, they would be stupid if they don't follow the rules.
If that's the case, Gu Qingling doesn't want to find a fool as her future in-law.

Second Young Master Xie Xuefeng: "..."
Wait, didn't his mother and his grandma go to play with his sister-in-law? Why did he find a fiancée for him after just one trip?
Xie Xuefeng wanted to say something, but his mother directly handed him a calligraphy and painting: "Here, this is your fiancée's work. You can go back and read it. Although he is a concubine, his appearance, talent and learning are all good.
From now on, I can wear red sleeves with you, so just laugh."
"Uh... no, mother..."
Before Xie Xuefeng could speak, he was kicked out of the yard by his mother, expressing his parents' orders and the matchmaker's words that he only needed to cultivate a good relationship with his fiancée, and he did not need to interfere with the rest.
Xie Xuefeng was speechless again.
That is his future wife, why shouldn't he get involved?
When he went out, he met his elder brother Xie Xuejin, who smiled and congratulated him.
Xie Xuefeng: "...Brother, are you sure you're not laughing at me?"
"This is a happy event, why should I laugh at you?"
"You are seeing my joke." Xie Xuefeng said with an affirmative look on his face.
Xie Xuejin smiled softly, feeling a little helpless with this younger brother. He coughed twice: "Ahem, everyone has it once. It's good to experience it once. Anyway, as long as you know, mother and grandma will never harm you."
you."
"I know they won't harm me, that's right. This is obviously my marriage, but my mother still said that I don't need to get involved... I don't need to get involved, is she marrying it for me?"
"Puch..."
Xie Xuefeng glared.
"Puch..." Xie Xuejin couldn't help it, and it took a while before she stabilized her smile and said, "I know you yearn for freedom and want to do something you like. You feel a little aggrieved that your parents have to decide on your marriage.
It's just that the rules have always been like this. In which family, the decision to marry a wife and have children is not made by the parents? Look at your sister-in-law and me, aren't we doing well now?"
Well, Xie Xuefeng couldn't refute.
His eldest brother, his eldest sister-in-law and his wife, although they were not in harmony with each other and were very sweet, they still worked together as a couple, and they lived a good life together.
"You have to know that when you get married and marry a wife, in addition to yourself, your parents' opinions are also very important. After all, after you get married, the people who have the most contact with your wife besides you are your mother and grandma."
Xie Xuejin was afraid that he wouldn't believe it, so she asked, "Think about it for yourself. If I don't take your sister-in-law with me for transfer, and I leave early in the morning and come back late on weekdays, who is the person who gets along with your sister-in-law the longest? Your sister-in-law is the most important person in our family.
If you want to live a comfortable life, in addition to my respect, you also need to be liked by your mother and grandma. Otherwise, what will she do when I'm not around?"
Xie Xuefeng frowned: "But I am different from you. You are the eldest son, and you have to be the head of the family. Your sister-in-law is also the mistress of the family, so you have to be careful... But I will separate in the future and take her to live outside. Mom and Dad
When we were still alive, our family lived in the same courtyard, which was no problem, but what happened after we separated? She came from a wealthy family, and even though she was a concubine, she was used to living in a large house, but now she is married to
I, after marrying me, will definitely be different in the future? Brother, do you really think that people who are used to eating delicious food will be able to adapt to simple meals in the future? "
Although Xie Xuefeng was just a metaphor, Xie Xuejin understood what his brother meant.
To put it bluntly, Xie Xuefeng was worried that Miss Yao Ba was used to the good life of the Yao family, and when she married Xie Xuefeng, she would be separated and would have to live a "small family" life. Xie Fafeng was afraid that her self-esteem would not be able to bear it.
"It should...not be the case, right?" Xie Xuejin was a little unsure, "Since it was my mother and grandma who chose her, I must have considered this."
"Are you sure? My parents have discussed this matter before and told me in advance that my wife will definitely not be higher than my sister-in-law. But now, look, is my sister-in-law's background comparable to Miss Yao Ba?"
"Just a concubine..."
"So what if she is a concubine? The head of the house is an old lady of the highest rank. Her brother-in-law has the title of viscount and is now a scholar. He is still taking part in the provincial examination..." Xie Xuefeng came over one by one to let Xie Xuejin understand that even if the Yao family
It's in decline. If someone like them can get engaged to them, that's a high achievement.
What's more, the Yao family now also opens a shop called "Baixiange".
His eldest brother only studies on weekdays and doesn't know much about the reputation of Baixiang Pavilion, but he takes care of the family business, and Baixiang Pavilion can make "millions of gold every day". Doesn't the girl sent out by such a family come from the golden nest?
Can a phoenix used to living in a golden nest live in a shabby life in a pheasant's nest?
Hearing Xie Xuefeng use such words to describe his family, Xie Xuejin really didn't know what to say, but if he wanted to refute it, he had to admit that although his second brother was exaggerating a bit, he was still on point.
