Moonlight Exposes the Works of a Concubine's Daughter Marrying into Royalty The Thoughts of a Daughter, Twenty-Eight I Want to Marry a Hero!
"Third brother and sister, look at me being busy all day, I didn't even have time to arrange for your return home yesterday. Alas, I'm really sorry, how are grandma and big uncle doing?"
The three Jiangs had just finished paying their respects when Madame Zou asked.
She smiled before speaking, her tone was warm and intimate, and what she said was also very proper, completely like a noble lady.
The ninth sister hadn't forgotten that recently, the madam had been intentionally or unintentionally avoiding Jiang Shi, even the tenth sister felt it and directly asked Jiang Shi what was wrong with her elder aunt.
What else could it be? It should be that she is afraid that Jiang's family will find her for something related to his mother's side!
"Ah, thank you for your concern, everything is fine!" Jiang smiled and thanked her, but refused to say another word in front of the whole room.
"Third sister-in-law, I heard that Eldest Miss is a talented and beautiful lady. Yesterday's hair-pinning ceremony was also exceptionally lively, wasn't it?" After a moment of silence, Second Mistress Miao asked again.
Uh...
Jiuer didn't raise her head to look at her, yet she actually asked about the hairpinning ceremony of a concubine-born daughter in front of so many people. Second Aunt, where is your pride?
"Everywhere, they are all relatives and friends who care about me!" Jiang said humbly, also very briefly.
People's eyes widened in shock, and the room fell silent once again.
"Third Sister-in-law, I heard that Third Madame of the Weiyuan Wangfu also went yesterday, is that true?" Fourth Madame Zhen's words broke the silence once again.
The ninth sister felt that everyone's eyes lit up instantly because of her own extreme fourth sister, and her ears also perked up instantly.
She thought she finally understood the purpose of the Wen family's women waiting in array, which should be the same as those ladies and madams yesterday, focusing on the two golden men of the Yang family.
"Yes, I went, and also brought Yang's eldest daughter Hui Jie. This Hui Jie is really changing every year, now she's all grown up too! Ah, the kids have grown up, we've all gotten old, don't you think, Fourth Brother and Sister?"
Just when everyone thought that Jiang's words had finally been unlocked, who knew that Jiang's smiling and gentle tone would suddenly change direction and start talking about Tai Chi.
Zhen's face stiffened for a moment, and everyone else's faces didn't look good either.
"Alright, let Old Three's wife sit down, what's the point of asking so many questions?"
At this moment, a stern voice was heard, which was Li Lao Taikun who had been watching everything with cold eyes. At this moment, the old man's face didn't show anything, but Jiujie felt that the old man must be unhappy.
Alas, how many daughters of Wen's family cannot get married out, is it worth it? What a shame!
"By the way, Old Madame, that letter you were telling me about the other day, where Princess Wang and her husband came to the capital specifically to help with San Jie's wedding, has everything been arranged in the mansion?" At this time, the old lady asked Zou Shi again.
"Don't worry, old lady, this is already arranged." Zhou Shi immediately smiled and said.
As soon as she heard this, San Jie's face turned red and she quickly turned around and left.
"This little girl... Hehe..." The old lady looked at San Jie and smiled with satisfaction.
Everyone else followed suit and laughed, and the atmosphere in the room became lively.
"Pick up a few more spacious rooms, otherwise people will laugh at you later."
"My daughter-in-law has been preparing for a long time, and my sister who often burns incense to Buddha will live in the rooms next to the small Buddhist hall. As for Ah Jing, she'll be arranged to stay in the row of houses in front of Yue Ge's courtyard..."
"Ah, Mother, is Jing really coming? Didn't he say he wasn't coming that day?" Before Jiang's words had even fallen, a voice full of surprise rang out.
Only Wen Liu's sister would dare ask such a question in this situation!
Although she is Wen Liu's sister, it's a bit too much to show such blatant concern for an outsider. Just look at the gloomy face of Li Lao Tai Jun and the schadenfreude expressions of Miao Shi and others.
"You're always thinking about having fun, but let me tell you, your cousin Jing is a grown-up now. This time he's come to Beijing on serious business and won't be fooling around with you."
Zou Shi quickly swept a glance over the crowd, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, but she soon smiled and lightly poked Liu Jie's forehead with her finger, scolding her.
"Hehe..." and several decent maidservants who came with the Zou family immediately responded with a gentle laugh.
This laughter is infectious, and others can't help but laugh along. The old lady's expression on her face also slightly eased.
Such a brilliant move, Jiu Jie saw it with her own eyes, but she didn't have the mind to sigh in admiration, because she was now completely confused by Ou Yang Jing's little pig head wanting to come over.
It's still coming after all.
"All I know is that people say that General Wang has been sending his son to the military camp for training over the past two years and he has even achieved some military merit."
Auntie Xu replied like that day, it's just as good as saying nothing.
It's also true that King Xiang's fief is in Lu, thousands of miles away from here... how much reliable news can Aunt Xu get?
" Ninth sister, let's go, we have class, what are you daydreaming about?"
Suddenly, the summons of the tenth sister echoed in her ears, and the ninth sister was stunned to find that all the sisters were about to leave, leaving only Mrs. Zou and a few other mothers-in-law discussing something in the house.
She quickly caught up...
"...Is this Mrs. Yang San? She's a very kind person, look, she gave me this as a gift, but I don't like that Yang Hui sister, so rude..."
Looking at the tenth sister surrounded by all the sisters, the ninth sister couldn't help but secretly shake her head.
The play that was not performed in Yanshoutang is now continued in Qingyage, I really don't know what kind of three-headed and six-armed men the two eligible bachelors of the Yang family are...
" Ninth sister, the plum blossoms behind the house have bloomed, want to go pick a few branches?" Just then, a voice suddenly came from behind.
Jiuer was taken aback, turned her head, and immediately met a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling yet not quite, with a beautiful and elegant face, which belonged to none other than Wen Wusao who had been absent for many days due to illness.
"Alright, Fifth Sister!" Ninth Sister hastily smiled and replied.
Wen Wu Jie is a proud and self-respecting person, but also sentimental and emotional.
Jiuzi had a good impression of her, four years ago when she was lying in bed after just becoming the ninth sister, this elder sister had come to visit her and even fired a lazy servant for her sake.
Although this matter is a bit unworthy, if it were Nine Sister, she would never do so, but it can be seen that this elder sister is indeed a true and sentimental person.
" Ninth sister, you're thirteen this New Year's, have you ever thought about what kind of person you'll marry in the future?"
Two people came to a plum forest on one side of the garden. White clothes and red plums, the fifth sister stood under the plum branch, turned around, and then asked her.
"Uh..." Facing this somewhat shocking and unconventional question, Jiu Jie'er couldn't help but pause, her face turning red, unsure of how to respond. "Wu Jiejie..."
"Hehe... Alright, little girl, I won't make it difficult for you." Fifth Sister smiled, "Do you know what kind of person I want to marry?"
“……”
The smile on Wu Jie's face was breathtakingly beautiful because of her stubborn and proud expectation, "I want to marry the one who is admired by everyone in this mansion, I want to marry a hero like Weiyuan Wang who stands tall and unyielding!"
……
