Wu Che and Song Gang followed behind and without waiting for them to say anything, Yi Hao took the initiative to introduce the two of them to Yi Yuan and the others.

“Sister Yun, this is Wu Che, and this is Song Gang. You’ve met them before.”

Gu Yun nodded to show respect, and said with a smile: "If you come to eat at Shi An Ji, just tell us our Hao Ge'er's name, and I will ask the shopkeeper to give you a 20% discount."

Wu Che was planning to take his mother and sister out for dinner tomorrow. He smiled so hard that his mouth reached his ears: "Thank you, Madam Yang!"

Yi Hao then introduced himself to his parents: "Dad and Mom, they are my classmates, and Wu Che is also my good friend."

Upon hearing their son say this, Yi Yuan and Lin Xia had no idea. There was a big difference between Wu Che and Song Gang. Moreover, from seeing Song Gang's forced smile just now, they guessed that Song Gang did not have a good relationship with their son, and it was enough for them to just get along on the surface.

The Yi Yuan couple smiled amiably, and Wu Che straightened his clothes before bowing and greeting them respectfully.

"Uncle and aunt are polite. The junior Wu Che is Brother Hao's good friend and classmate."

"I heard from Brother Hao that you have settled in Pengcheng now. I will definitely come to visit you."

Yi Yuanlinxia happily agreed, "Welcome Mr. Wu to our home."

Wu Che smiled and said, "Uncle and aunt, you can just call me Xiao Wu or Ah Che."

After a few more pleasantries, Li came over with Wu Ping.

"Brother Che, who are they?"

As a junior, Yi Hao was surrounded by elders from his own family. Although he disliked Li's expression, he should have been the one to take over the conversation, and Wu Che was his second best friend.

"Madam, these are my parents, and this is my godsister Gu Yun."

Gu Yun had met many people, and she could tell at a glance that Li was arrogant, but she still greeted him calmly: "Hello, Madam Wu, your husband's surname is Yang."

Li greeted Gu Yun warmly. Although she had only been in Pengcheng for a month, she had learned all about the family situations of the officials here.

Pengcheng is a provincial capital, and most of the officials here are of higher rank than her husband. She wanted to prevent a flood from hitting the Dragon Emperor Temple and offending people who shouldn’t be offended without her knowing.

There was only one fifth-rank military officer named Yang, Captain Yang. Although Yi Hao introduced her as her godsister, she was her junior, but Gu Yun's husband was half a level higher than hers, so she couldn't act like an elder.

Gu Yun's expression was calm, and he responded to her in a cold tone, as if he didn't care at all about what she said. Li woke up as if from a dream, and realized that she hadn't greeted Yi Yuan and the others yet.

Li turned to Yi Yuan and his wife and said with a forced smile, "It turns out to be Mr. and Mrs. Yi. What a pleasure to meet you."

Her smile seemed a little unnatural, with a hint of alienation, as if it was just to cope with the situation rather than from the heart.

Yi Yuan and Lin Xia looked at each other, and their eyes revealed a common understanding. Today, they had some contact with Doctor Gu and Doctor Bai, which gave them a clear understanding of the officials and nobles in Pengcheng.

They were now very open-minded about their humble origins and no longer felt inferior. Doctor Bai, Doctor Gu and others did not look down on them and were even so enthusiastic towards them. In addition to the fact that they themselves did not value rank, a big reason was that their daughters were promising.

The lady in front of him looked down on them, not because her son was not good at studying. On the contrary, it was because her son was too good at studying. What she looked down on was his peasant background.

Lin Xia raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing an indifferent smile. She still responded to Li with a standard polite smile and said softly: "Hello, Mrs. Wu, it's a pleasure to meet you, my dear." There was a sense of distance in this greeting, as if telling Li that she didn't care about her unreasonableness.

We are all women, how could Li not feel Lin Xia's indifferent attitude towards her.

Feeling indignant, she lowered her eyelids to hide the darkness in her eyes and pulled the corners of her lips to smile.

Why!

Why did this man from a farming family treat her like this? She was about to say something but was interrupted by Yi Yuan.

He also said calmly, "Madam Li, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Wu Che saw that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he quickly said, "It's getting late, we should go back. Uncle and aunt, I'll take my leave first."

Yi Hao quickly echoed, "Mrs. Wu, Miss Wu, take care."

Li woke up as if from a dream, and suddenly realized that she had not yet introduced her daughter to Gu Yun. She couldn't help but feel a surge of regret in her heart.

However, at this moment her son had already expressed his intention to leave. Li was filled with helplessness and loss. She knew that she could not say anything more at this time.

She looked at Gu Yun silently, with a hint of regret in her eyes, but she didn't know where to start.

Gu Yun seemed to not understand her expression and said directly, "Mrs. Wu, take care!"

Yi Yuan and Lin Xia said nothing, just smiled.

Li secretly cursed Lin Xia in her heart, she was indeed a peasant, she had no vision at all.

The group walked out. Wu Ping turned around and gave Yi Hao a resentful look, and happened to meet Gu Yun's gaze. Gu Yun smiled slightly, and a hint of deep meaning flashed in his eyes.

After Lu Ming and Song Gang left, Lin Xia couldn't help but sigh, "This Li family is really hard to get along with."

Yi Yuan patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry about it. Just don't come here often in the future."

At dinner time, Lin Xia, Gu Yunyinuo and the other two women sat at the same table with the children. They didn't want to sit with a few drinking men.

When Lin Xia told Yinuo about what happened today, Gu Yun said directly: "Look at this Li, I'm afraid she wants to find a son-in-law from the list."

"She is probably attracted to Hao Ge'er now, and wants to take him as her son-in-law after he passes the imperial examination."

Although Lin Xia didn't understand the official's wife's complicated thoughts, she saw the way Wu Ping looked at Yi Hao today, and she immediately became angry.

"We don't want such relatives. We can't afford them!"

"I'll have to give Haoge a good beating later, so that he can concentrate on his studies and not get seduced."

Gu Yun and Yinuo looked at each other and couldn't help laughing, and quickly comforted Lin Xia with a few more words.

After being comforted, Lin Xia felt that it was nothing. But when she was helping Yi Hao pack his clothes, a soft silk handkerchief suddenly fell out of his bag.

There is a flower embroidered on this handkerchief, which has a faint fragrance and it is obviously a girl's.

She paused, frowned and looked at the bundle unhappily, her eyes full of scrutiny and inquiry.

This brat actually hid a woman's handkerchief. This was outrageous. Lin Xia got angry immediately.
