Cui waved her hands quickly and responded with a smile: "Hey, Auntie, please don't be so polite! This is nothing. My husband often mentioned that when he was the county magistrate, he often came to your house to eat! And he was also very familiar with the children in your family."

"What do you think of this girl? I heard from my little girl Xiaocao that she is very good. I also think she is very well-behaved when I saw her just now." Mrs. Li asked

"She is outstanding among the girls of the same age! She and our sister are close friends." Mrs. Lu said with a smile, her words revealing her admiration for that person.

Cui, who was standing by, nodded slightly, expressing her agreement: "Yes, this girl is not only gentle and charming, but also very pretty and beautiful, and also talented."

After a brief pause, Cui seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "By the way, auntie, I'm now busy arranging a marriage for your Erlang, so I wonder if your Dalang's marriage has been settled?" She looked at Li eagerly, full of curiosity and concern.

When Li heard this, a smile as bright as a spring flower immediately blossomed on her face, and she replied happily, "Haha, to be honest, our Dalang and Sanlang both have girls they like, but we haven't finalized them yet. So we're waiting for a definite answer from the girl." After saying that, Li couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, obviously looking forward to her son's marriage.

When Mrs. Lu heard what Mrs. Li said, she couldn't help but feel happy. You know, the marriage between their Lu family and the Yang family is basically settled now.

However, Li has announced that he still needs to wait for a definite answer from the girl. After all, this is the modesty that a girl should have.

At this time, Cui said with a smile on her face: "Then I must congratulate you first, aunt. If this marriage can really be accomplished, then the lifelong affairs of the three children will be decided at once."

Li nodded slightly and responded, "Yes, I just hope that neither of them will despise our low threshold. We are farmers, and we haven't been in the capital for long. Our family background is not good. I really don't know if they will look down on us?" As she spoke, Li couldn't help but reveal a trace of worry.

Cui hurriedly comforted her, "Hey, auntie, what's the difference between a peasant and a non-peasant? Think about it, our ancestors two generations ago were also peasants."

Mrs. Lu also echoed, "That's right, aunt! Look at Da Mao's children, each of them is talented. Just relax and wait for the good fortune. Our family will definitely have a good future!"

Hearing this, Li's smile became even brighter, and she nodded repeatedly, "Thanks for your good wishes!"

After finishing their business, they walked lightly and quickly returned to the large team where Old Lady Yang and the others were.

Looking around, except for a few families who were close to the Yang family and came with their entire families and brought their female relatives, the rest of the classmates, colleagues and friends who came together were almost all men.

The many male guests who visited today were welcomed and entertained in the front yard by Yang Dashan himself, his sons, and Qi Xingyun; while in the back yard, Old Lady Yang and Mrs. Li warmly entertained the female members of the family.

However, since there were only two female servants in the house, Yuexi and Miaoyin, and the rest of the servants were all men, and because there were young wives and girls among the female family, it was not convenient for Qiangzi and others to go to the backyard to serve.

Therefore, in order to ensure that every guest could be well entertained, Qi Xingyun specially transferred a few maids from the Prince Yun's Mansion to come and assist.

As for why they chose to transfer a maid instead of a young maid? Because there were no young maids in the palace.

First, Qi Xingyun does not live in the Prince Yun's Mansion all year round, and spends most of his time in Pingjiang County.

Besides, she was too lazy to take the trouble to manage these maids, for she was worried that they would have inappropriate thoughts and cause unnecessary trouble.

Just as the two sides were chatting enthusiastically and the atmosphere was extremely lively, they saw several figures slowly approaching the door. Looking closely, it turned out that Qi Xingyun led the eldest prince and the little princess into the house.

Those who came to the banquet today were not only those families who had close relations with the Yang family. In addition, classmates and friends of Damao and others as well as some colleagues were also invited.

Considering that if these people were to notice that the Yang family had too close a relationship with the eldest prince, they would inevitably become suspicious or have ulterior motives.

Therefore, the thoughtful Qi Xingyun had arranged a trusted guard to guard the gatehouse early. As soon as he saw the eldest prince and his entourage coming, the guard would immediately go to inform him. He would personally go to greet them and lead them all the way to the backyard.
