Chapter Twelve Guest

Jiang Changning lowered his eyelids to hide the mocking look in his eyes.

Except for her eyes, she resembles her mother, and everything else resembles her father.

Mrs. Zhuang is very much like her mother, and has no trace of the Jiang family.

From their appearance, it is impossible to tell that they are aunt and grandniece.

To say that they are similar is to tell lies with open eyes.

"You have gone out and are tired. Go back to the yard and rest." Mrs. Zhuang said.

Jiang Changning bowed his knees and left with his maid.

On the way, I met Mr. Liao who was walking towards me with her daughter Zhuang Nianjun.

When you meet someone head-on, smile and nod as a courtesy.

As they passed each other, Mrs. Liao called out: "Sister Ning."

"Sister-in-law." Jiang Changning stopped and looked at her.

"Old Mrs. Huangsan's eldest grandson is here to see me," said Liao.

Jiang Changning was stunned, what do you mean by this?

Is it possible that Mrs. Huang San has fallen in love with her?

"Sister Ning, be careful." Ms. Liao warned and continued moving forward.

"Girl." Shufei shouted worriedly.

"Don't worry, the old lady won't agree." Jiang Changning calmed down immediately.

Old Mrs. Huang San did have an idea for Jiang Changning, but Jiang Changning was the Queen Mother's savior, and Old Mrs. Zhuang could no longer make the decision in her marriage.

If Mrs. Huang San dares to resort to tricks, don't blame her for taking money from the bottom of the cauldron.

"Girl, is grandma trying to show you good intentions?" Shu Fei asked in a low voice.

Jiang Changning sighed softly, "She is also a poor person."

Her husband is dead, but her husband's family and her natal family do not allow her to remarry, leaving her young and forced to live with her daughter for a long time.

The next day, Shu Fei took the greeting cord and left the house to go to Zhou's house.

After returning, he told Jiang Changning, "Brother Zhou invited Doctor Du, who gave Zhou's mother a prescription."

Jiang Changning was overjoyed, "I knew the miracle doctor could cure the nanny."

Those three golden tickets are really worth it.

In the blink of an eye, March 27th arrived.

Jiang Changning took Fang Ju, Fu Cui and the four girls from the Zhuang family to the Zhuang family's West Mansion.

Zhuangjia Xifu will be called Xifu because it is to the west of Zhuangjia.

The old lady in Xifu died of illness eight years ago.

The old man did not remarry, and he was served by two old aunts.

Now the head of the house is Mrs. Aji, the eldest daughter-in-law, who is also Zhuang Juyue's mother, Mrs. Wang.

Zhuang Juyue ranks fourth in the family, preceded by a concubine sister and two concubine cousins.

For this birthday party, she not only invited Jiang Changning and the four girls from the Zhuang family, but also her uncle's three daughters and her aunt's five daughters.

In addition to the girls, the banker's young men, her uncle's two sons, and her aunt's son were also invited.

Zhuang Juyue's two elder brothers were responsible for entertaining these young men.

"Sister Yue, happy birthday." Jiang Changning handed the brocade box to Zhuang Juyue.

"Thank you, Sister Ning. Sister Ning is so kind." Zhuang Juyue accepted the brocade box and handed it to the maid.

Others also presented gifts, and Zhuang Juyue invited the girls into the small hall.

Including Zhuang Juyue's two concubine sisters, two full cousins ​​and one concubine cousin, there are a total of eighteen people.

They are all unmarried women, the oldest is sixteen and the youngest is twelve.

The grandma from Xifu came over, said hello to the girls, and left.

She is now working as a housekeeper with her mother-in-law and is very busy. Moreover, the circles of married people and unmarried people are different, and the topics they talk about are also different.

On the big table in the hall, there are various dried fruits, snacks, preserves and fruits.

I have gotten along with the banker girls in school, and I am quite familiar with them.

Zhuang Juyue's cousins ​​only met a few times.

The girls greeted each other politely, and after sitting down, they chatted in general, ranging from the snacks on the table to the embroidered handkerchiefs in their hands.

Zhuang Juyue's first cousin, Zhuang Jushui, "Have you heard? Zhao Xifang painted a "Picture of Ladies" and dedicated it to the Queen Mother, which was praised by the Queen Mother."

Zhao Xifang, a famous talented woman in Beijing.

The granddaughter of Princess Wenhe, Princess Wenhe stood on the right side during the battle for imperial power, and successfully transitioned from a fringe royal family to a popular figure in front of the Queen Mother.

"I heard that Song Yirou and the others are going to hold a tea tasting party," Zhuang Juyue's aunt and cousin Kong Huihui said.

Zhuang Juyue's uncle and cousin Qian Li sneered and said: "When Zhao Xifang held a flower viewing party, she held a tea tasting party. They are really at odds with each other."

Song Yirou, the niece of General Hussar and the cousin of Concubine Song in the palace, is also a beautiful and talented girl.

"As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. They are destined to be enemies." Kong Huihui said with a smile.

"To say that they are enemies, it would be better to say that they are just like the white snow and the yellow flowers this year, equally matched." Zhuang Jishui said with a smile.

This poem of hers aroused everyone's addiction, and the topic turned to poetry.

There is a lot of flaunting in this.

After Jiang Changning agreed a few words, he carefully peeled the peanuts and ate them.

However, some people couldn't see her being so leisurely and comfortable, "Sister Ning, have you entered the palace to see the Queen Mother? Is it fun in the palace?"

The person who asked the question was Zhuang Juxiang, a concubine of Zhuang Juyue, who had always been on good terms with Zhuang Qingmei.

Jiang Changning smiled lightly and said, "There are many noble people in the palace."

The implication is that if a person of no rank enters the palace, who dares to wander around?

If you bump into a noble person, it will be fatal.

Zhuang Juxiang was unwilling to be dismissed like this and asked, "What did you say to the Queen Mother?"

Jiang Changning's eyes were slightly sharp and his face darkened, "This is not something you should know."

"Juxiang." Zhuang Juyue also glared at her, saying she was unruly.

At this time the maid came and invited the girls to move to the garden to have a meal.

In March, flowers are blooming, and dining in the garden while admiring the flowers looks elegant and unique.

The spring is bright, the garden is colorful and fragrant.

The girls were chatting and laughing, then walked out from the corridor and went to the garden.

Orioles and swallows, curling and tingling.

This pleasing scene fell in the eyes of several people standing on the rockery not far away.

In addition to Zhuang Juyue's two older brothers, Zhuang Gongzhao and Zhuang Gongxi, there are also young masters from Dongfu, the young masters from the Kong family, the Qian family, and four others.

These other four people were none other than King Jin and his two followers, as well as King Jin's aunt and cousin Gu Zhongyu.

They gathered around King Jin, who would come to the banker's house as a guest, apparently because he was instigated by his Yu Zhong.

In fact, he learned that the girl from the Zhuang family was hosting a birthday banquet, and people from the same clan would definitely come to attend, so they came as guests.

Now he got his wish and saw the person he wanted to see, and he was worthy of his courtesy as a corporal.

The banker brothers were both surprised and happy that the King of Jin could come to their house as a guest.

They spent some money to convince Gu Zhongyu.

Unexpectedly, Yan Zhongyu actually invited King Jin here. The money was well spent.

"The scenery in this garden is really nice. Let's go down the mountain." King Jin said and left.

The banker brothers did not stop him, and they would not stop him. They originally wanted to introduce King Jin into the garden.

These sisters are all quite beautiful, if they can catch the eye of King Jin.
