She was too lazy to clean up after dressing up as a villain heroine

Given Zhang Qingwen's current status, it would be quite embarrassing for him to attend the banquet.

The unmarried girls and married women in the hall didn't want to have much contact with the same concubine.

It would be the same even if she was a concubine in the marquis's mansion.

There is no need to lower your status.

She was probably aware of the situation, so she kept sticking to Ge Yuzhu after entering the room.

After all, they were classmates. As the newlywed and hostess of the house, Ge Yuzhu couldn't just chase them away, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.

Ge Yuzhu has always been well-mannered, and speaking like this means that she is very dissatisfied.

Yuying came to add makeup to her, representing the reputation and attitude of her future husband's family. If she tried to smooth things over and the news got out, what would her future parents-in-law and husband think?

Qiao Zhenzhen smiled and said to Ge Yuzhu: "You know what, Qingwen has really lost a lot of weight."

She took over the conversation.

It was Ge Yuzhu's makeup day, and Qiao Zhenzhen didn't want to ruin her mood because of her own reasons.

Zhang Qingwen wanted to target her.

Zhang Qingwen was not annoyed when she heard this. Instead, she smiled shyly, "I have lost some weight, but it's not because I didn't eat well in the Marquis' Mansion. It's because my husband likes thinner girls. He said I look better when I'm thinner."

Qiao Zhenzhen looked at her seriously, "Master Wei, do you really say that? I always thought he was an expert in both calligraphy and painting, and that he should have a good taste. Apparently I was prejudiced."

Ge Yuzhu couldn't help laughing and pointed at her with her finger, "You——"

Zhang Qingwen said coldly: "Are you jealous of me?"

Qiao Zhenzhen did not refute, but said: "Qingwen, I am far away in Baoguo Temple and have not had time to congratulate you. You finally got what you wanted."

Zhang Qingwen smiled with a look of triumph, his eyes full of pride.

"The wedding banquet must have been very grand, right?"

Zhang Qingwen's expression changed in an instant.

Ge Yuzhu said: "I'm afraid you heard the wrong information. With Qingwen's status as a resident of the mansion... there is no way we can have a banquet."

Qiao Zhenzhen pretended not to know, "No way, marrying into the Marquis's Mansion and there's no banquet?"

Zhang Qingwen's face turned from pale to blue immediately, and he quickly changed the subject and asked Ge Yuzhu, "Why didn't your mother and brother come back to attend your wedding?"

Ge Yuzhu's father is the second child in the family.

Now my father, mother and two younger brothers are all living away from home.

Her father was an official and could not return to Beijing at will, but her mother and brothers did not come back either, which somewhat showed that she was not valued at home.

Qiao Zhenzhen didn't take these things seriously, so naturally she wouldn't mention them in front of her.

But there are some ignorant people who insist on bringing this up.

Ge Yuzhu said calmly: "My two brothers are still young, not suitable for long-distance travel. Father is busy with official duties, so mother naturally has to stay and take care of them."

There was jealousy and disdain in Zhang Qingwen's eyes.

The jealousy was probably because Ge Yuzhu was able to marry into the Mo family, which was really a good marriage.

But the disdain was directed at Mo Tingjin. This man was really useless and was also a second-rate son.

Compared with the eldest son, the second son has no advantage in inheriting the family property. He is also incompetent, so his future is bleak when the family is divided in the future.

Qiao Zhenzhen understood Zhang Qingwen's thoughts.

But then again, Mo Qingyang is only in his early forties now.

He lives a healthy life, is not fond of alcohol or women, likes playing the piano and painting, and has a stable mood.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will have at least another 40 years to live.

It's no problem to work on the job until you are 70.

In thirty years, not to mention the third generation, even the fourth generation has emerged.

Who can say that all of Ge Yuzhu’s descendants will be useless in the future?

On the other hand, Zhang Qingwen was a concubine in a marquis's mansion. In principle, even if she gave birth to a child, it would not be her own.

Qiao Zhenzhen said, "Yuzhu, I didn't understand what you just said. Why didn't Qingwen hold a banquet when she married into the Marquis' Mansion? This is too unreasonable. Even if Qingwen's family is of a lower official rank, the Marquis' Mansion would not bully people like this."

Since Zhang Qingwen wants to touch Ge Yuzhu's sore spot, don't blame her for being rude.

Just as Ge Yuzhu was about to explain, Zhang Qingwen interrupted her again.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, Yuzhu. The red gold necklace inlaid with gems that I'm going to give you today is a gift from the Marquis's wife. Do you like it?"

The reason why Zhang Qingwen gave such an expensive gift with great reluctance was to tell others that although she was only married into the Marquis's mansion as a concubine, her treatment was no worse than that of the principal wife.

Wei Yunzhi likes her, and the Marquis's wife values ​​her even more.

A guest from afar is a guest, especially one who brings valuable gifts.

Hearing this, Ge Yuzhu didn't want to give her too much face, so she said, "Thank you very much."

Qiao Zhenzhen then called Erxiang forward.

Dongxiang came up holding a large wooden box. Xiaxiang opened the box and inside was a complete set of head ornaments made of red gold and inlaid with sapphires.

The sunlight shines through the window lattice onto my head. The pure sapphire blue paired with the dazzling gold is so dazzling that it makes people close their eyes for a moment.

Everyone gathered around and whispered.

"This headdress is obviously worth a lot of money."

"The Mo family is really generous."

"But isn't the Mo family very poor?"

"Oh, you actually believe that Lord Mo is poor. Only Your Majesty would believe that. With so many good things sent to his house throughout the year, it would be strange if he were poor!"

Ge Yuzhu was delighted, "This headdress is so valuable."

"What's so expensive? We're almost a family." Qiao Zhenzhen said with a smile, "This was ordered by Linlang Pavilion with my mother at the beginning of the year. They have two styles, and one is made of rubies, which is also very beautiful.

But I see that you like to wear blue clothes on weekdays, and this color suits you, so I chose this sapphire set. The whole set looks a bit grand when worn, but it will not be noticeable if you wear them separately on weekdays.

This way, you don’t have to keep this set of jewelry at the bottom of your closet, you can wear it with your clothes every day.”

Ge Yuzhu was very pleased to hear this, "Thank you for your thoughtful consideration."

"Why thank you? It's my duty." Qiao Zhenzhen patted Ge Yuzhu's hand gently. "You are my future sister-in-law, and we are good friends."

The precious dowry given by her husband's family made Ge Yuzhu feel more at ease.

Because that meant that the Mo family did not look down on her just because she was not favored by her parents.

The reason why Mo Qingyang wanted to marry into this family was, firstly, because of the family background of the Ge family, and secondly, because of Ge Yuzhu as a person.

Family background is important, but people are more important. The first daughter-in-law of the Mo family is obviously beyond support, and the second daughter-in-law cannot be a drag anymore.

There are many people in the Ge family who are good at reading. If they balance the two, the third generation might be saved.

Ge Yuzhu is indeed a good person. She is steady, independent and generous at a young age.

He is kind-hearted but not a pushover. He has his own principles and is neither squeamish nor arrogant.

Zhang Qingwen was suppressed again and couldn't help but say sourly: "A full set of red gold and gemstone head ornaments from Linlang Pavilion must cost several thousand taels of silver. It's really a waste of money."

Changing the subject, "You are supposed to get married in August. Have you prepared your dowry? I heard that the Duke's Mansion gave a lot of betrothal gifts. Now that you are a princess, your dowry cannot be too shabby.

The last time we met in Linlang Pavilion, you had a lot of jewelry robbed from you. It was hard to find a good set. Could this headpiece be taken from your dowry?"
