C126 (1/2)

It was just that now was not the time for Dong Shu to not know anything. She only needed to look at the list of names and she would be able to guess that those on the list were all the families that she had to invite.

However, since they were all guests, as long as each family brought one or two juniors with them, they would probably have to take at least three tables to sit down at this banquet.

As for whether or not they would bring this junior over, Dong Shu had no doubts about that at all.

It was only after Dong Shu had entered the palace this time that she heard that her sister-in-law had purposely made a marriage with Zhang Family. She understood that this banquet was the best opportunity for the female servants to see each other.

Since they wanted to look at each other, they would definitely bring a junior along.

There were also some female servants who wanted to bring along juniors that had yet to be decided, but had yet to be questioned about. They wanted to let others know that their family had such a junior, so that they could propose a marriage.

It was because of this reason that although Dong Shu's invitation was for a certain mistress, she had to be able to predict that she would bring two more juniors along.

Just as Dong Shu was thinking about this, the Old Madame Xu opened her mouth again: ”This time, your eldest sister-in-law and your Second Sister-in-law will probably come back too, don't forget.”

Just as Old Madame Xu finished speaking, Dong Shu nodded her head to show that she understood.

At the same time, Dong Shu raised her original plan of three tables to four tables.

Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law both had juniors waiting to get married, they would definitely bring them along.

Seeing that Dong Shu understood her meaning, the Old Madame Xu instructed her to quickly go back and prepare.

Dong Shu did not decline. Previously, she did not know, but after going through the Mama Yan's tutelage, Dong Shu now understood, preparing for a banquet was not something that could be done a day or two earlier.

Some ingredients needed to be prepared a few days in advance.

Xu Family had just started preparing for the banquet and was purchasing ingredients that did not exist in the family. On the other side, the well-informed family had also received the news.

Everyone was waiting for this post from the Xu Family. After a day, those who received the post would naturally be overjoyed, after all, most of the families of the officials in the capital would know about the matter that was beloved by the Empress.

As for those who did not receive posts, it was fine that they did not have any relationship with Xu Family before, but there were a few who had a good relationship with Xu Family before, but this time they did not receive posts, which became the main topic of discussion among the families.

All the families who were able to stand firmly in the capital were not fools. These families had a good relationship with Xu Family before the marriage, and one of the old ladies was even handed over as a handkerchief to Old Madame Xu before her marriage.

But this time, he did not receive a post from the Xu Family.

Thinking of this, he went to investigate some good things. In the end, after some investigation, he found something.

”These two families are both the same family that threw stones at us while we were down after the Xu Family accident. I do not blame nor resent the political enemies of Xu Family, but the men of these two families were all brought up by your father-in-law back then. ” Old Madame Xu had also heard of the news in the capital recently, which was why she was able to tell Dong Shu about this after her recovery.

”Our Xu Family will not actively go and stir up trouble, but to make us pretend that we don't know anything, and still come into contact with them, is impossible.” The Old Madame Xu saw that Dong Shu had finished speaking and seeing her nod her head, she continued, ”In the future, when you meet the women from these two families, you will not have to be courteous. The things they did back then were not concealed. Many families in the capital knew about it. ”

Dong Shu listened to what the Old Madame Xu said seriously. Even if she did not understand something, she would not question it.

She understood that it didn't matter if she didn't understand now, but she just needed to remember her mother-in-law's words and do as she said.

Moreover, Dong Shu had never had the shame to ask others before. If she didn't understand something, she would wait for Old Madame Xu to finish speaking, and then take the initiative to ask.

”Mother, then if I meet the women from these two families in the future, I will ignore them if they don't take the initiative to talk to me. What should I do if they take the initiative to talk to me?” Dong Shu understood the words of the Old Madame Xu, but she felt that she had a bad grasp of it.

Once she said that, Old Madame Xu understood her meaning.

At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It had only been a short while, but this third daughter-in-law of his, who originally didn't know anything, had already understood so many twists and turns.

The big dye vat in the capital was truly worthy of its reputation.

”I think that as long as these two families have good faces, they will not take the initiative to provoke our people. However, there is another situation. They will bully you because you don't know anything and use you to wash off what they had done in their own homes. ”

In the end, Old Madame Xu had experienced a lot, and the moment she opened her mouth, she immediately told her what the other two families might do.

Dong Shu had been seriously listening to her mother-in-law's words the entire time. Only now did she take the initiative to speak out: ”Then, I won't answer their words? Or is there any other good way? ”
