Chapter 22

Lady Wang entered Mother Jia's courtyard.

After talking about what happened in the daytime,

Mother Jia suddenly asked, "Have you prepared the birthday gifts for Lin An Bo's grandmother?"

Lady Wang said, "Sister Feng has already prepared them. She's still asking who to send them over today."

"You go with her.

Bring a few of the girls in the mansion.

You stay in the mansion all day and don't see the world at all.

It won't be good if you make a fool of yourself in the future. "

Lady Wang paused.

She said, "Then let Sister Feng bring them over."

Mother Jia's tone was flat.

But it carried a sense of dignity. "Sister Feng is my sister-in-law.

What will it look like if she brings them over?

Are you going to let the first branch go? "

Madam Wang quivered and immediately nodded. "You're right, Old Madam."

Lady Wang and Lady Xing had always been at odds.

Lady Xing didn't have much breadth of mind and didn't have any big ideas.

It was worth her saying a lot.

If she really went, not only would she lose face for the Jia Mansion,

She would even turn around and make fun of her.

Mother Jia was old and tired quickly.

She didn't say much to Lady Wang.

She sent her away.

Lady Wang left the courtyard.

She suddenly paused.

Only then did he figure out the key points from the beginning to the end.

The girls in the mansion weren't young anymore.

It was time to talk about marriage.

If she didn't bring them along with her, how could she talk about marriage in the future?

It's just that Daiyu and Bao Yatou are not girls from the Jia Mansion, should I bring them along?

It became a problem.

In the blink of an eye, it was Lin An Bo's grandmother's birthday.

Lady Wang didn't want Mother Jia to pick the wrong place.

She hesitated again and again.

She still brought the girls from the Jia Mansion along.

Wang Xifeng accompanied her.

Lin An Bo wasn't considered a powerful person in the capital, but he still had a hereditary title. Therefore, when it was Old Madam Lin An Bo's birthday, there were actually some rich ladies who came.

The people from the Jia Mansion were particularly conspicuous.

Lady Wang led the girls straight into the back hall. The back hall was bustling with noise and excitement. Seeing them enter, someone immediately came over to talk to Lady Wang.

Everyone knew that the eldest branch of the Jia Mansion had just inherited the title of nobility in Rongguo Province. But who told the second branch to be favored by the Jia Mansion's mother and thus to inherit the power of the family?

Of course, Lady Wang was not to be offended. However, if there were any jokes in private, that would be unforgivable.

"If you're bored, you can walk around.

Just don't lose your maidservants, "Madam Wang turned around and said.

If any family's young miss was alone, she would be ridiculed.

Yin Chun was timid. He only nodded but did not do anything.

It was rare for Tanchun to go out with Lady Wang, so her ambition immediately gained the upper hand.

She nodded and walked around, thinking that it would be good to make friends with some of the young ladies of the noble families.

Xichun's face was full of indifference. He did not seem to be interested at all.

In comparison.

Daiyu and Baochai, who were at the side, appeared to be much more at ease.

When the former was in Gusu, he had also attended such banquets. Naturally, he would not show his cowardice.

Moreover, the rules in Lin An Bo's residence were not as strict as those in the Jia Mansion.

The latter had always been able to maintain her composure, so naturally, she was also natural and unrestrained.

Today, the two of them were dressed to the nines.

Daiyu's hair was pulled up into a bun with a golden and emerald plum blossom hairpin. She wore a small sleeved shirt with duck egg green and silver embroidery, and a pomegranate-colored pleated skirt.

Gorgeous and extraordinary.

Baochai wore a piney-white flower-patterned skirt. The hairpin in her bun was actually the palace flower that Daiyu had asked Zhou Rui's family to send her that day.

She looked livelier than usual.

The two of them followed behind Lady Wang, which greatly increased Lady Wang's face.

As a result, Lady Wang's mood improved a lot.

She smiled and turned around, "Why are the two of you still following us?

Go find your sisters to play with. "

Madame Lin An Bo hurriedly smiled, "You haven't said anything yet. These two ladies are born with good temperament. Why haven't I seen them before?"

Madam Wang smiled and said, "This is my niece.

This is my niece. "

Daiyu and Baochai naturally took the initiative to greet her.

Madame Lin An Bo hurriedly smiled and said, "I have a daughter who is about the same age as the two of you. Why don't the two of you go and play with her?" After saying that, Madame Lin An Bo called a servant girl and asked her to find the only daughter in Lin An Bo's residence.

That girl looked younger than Baochai, but she was dressed more luxuriously than the others. The gold and silver jewelry on her body were piled together, and even her neck felt heavy.

However, she didn't seem to notice it at all. She smiled and invited Daiyu and Baochai to walk around the garden.

Daiyu rarely had the chance to relax like this. Staying in Rongguo Province all day was really boring. Now that he heard the young miss of Lin An Bo's residence, he immediately agreed.

Baochai remembered Aunt Xue's words when they came, telling her to follow Lady Wang closely. Naturally, she wouldn't leave at this time. She waved her hand and said, "Younger sister, go and have fun for a while. I won't join in the fun."

Baochai had always been this mature. Moreover, Daiyu's relationship with her couldn't be considered close, so she didn't try to persuade her anymore.

"I'll also go with Older Sister Lin," Tanchun spoke up.

Xichun's eyes flashed, and he also spoke up calmly, "I'll also go with Older Sister."

Yin Chun then said in a muffled voice, "Then, then I'll also go with Younger Sister." After saying this, Yin Chun seemed to lack confidence and added, "Younger Sister, I hope you don't mind."

Daiyu only felt that her words were very strange.

Yin Chun usually didn't talk much. When they sat at the same table, she often acted like a decoration, only venting her anger.

However, they were just playing together. Why would she mind?

Were there girls who grew up in Rongguo Province this timid?

The girl from Lin An Bo's residence was called "Ling Yue". She had a lively temperament. Along the way, there were many girls from aristocratic families who talked to her, but there were even more who looked at her with disdain.

Who knew how many people she had offended in the past.

Daiyu stood to the side and didn't say anything. However, he quickly figured out the relationship between them.

Why did Ling Yue attract so many angry glares? It turned out that she had an older brother. He was handsome and talented, and in two years, he would be taking the imperial examinations.

Some of the girls had a good impression of him.

However, Ling Yue felt that no one was worthy of her older brother. Whenever a girl got close to Lin An Bo's residence, she would stop them. As a result, she had offended quite a few people.

Daiyu felt that this was a bit funny.

It was just a man, but it seemed like he had become a delicious cake that everyone wanted to take a bite out of.

It was said that he was handsome and knowledgeable.

But how good could he be?

In the end … in the end, he couldn't compare to her older brother.

This thought suddenly flashed through Daiyu's mind.

"Miss Lin is so beautiful." Ling Yue suddenly spoke up.

Daiyu turned around and saw Ling Yue looking at her with her face cupped in her hands.

Ling Yue said softly, "Miss Lin, it would be great if you could be my sister-in-law."

Daiyu frowned. He felt that this girl from Lin An Bo's residence was too abrupt.

Before she could speak, Xichun laughed coldly and said, "You'll have to ask our Miss Lin if she's willing to do so."

Ling Yue's skin was thick. She didn't feel the slightest bit embarrassed by her words. Instead, she said, "What if Miss Lin is willing?"

Daiyu pursed his lips, and a trace of coldness appeared in the corners of his eyes. "What's the point of making fun of me like this?"

Only then did Ling Yue shut her mouth.

Just as they were talking, they heard a commotion in the front courtyard.

Ling Yue suddenly stood up and clapped her hands with a smile. "My father and older brother must have returned."

The Three Springs didn't like Ling Yue, so they didn't respond.

Ling Yue sat back down in embarrassment. "My older brother is really a good …"

But still, no one responded.

This was the first time someone had acted like this.

The people in the Jia Mansion were indeed different from those in other places.

Ling Yue pouted and clapped her hands to have a maid bring over some fruit and tea.

In the front courtyard of Lin An Bo's residence, an important guest had just arrived.

Lin An Bo brought his only son to the front door to welcome the guest. Anyone who saw this scene couldn't help but be surprised.

After all, Lin An Bo was a hereditary nobleman. Who would be worthy of such a grand reception?

A soft sedan stopped outside Lin An Bo's residence. The curtain of the sedan was lifted, and an elegant young man stepped out.

He wore a frost-colored robe, and there was an iced plum blossom embroidered sachet at his waist. As he walked, the tassels hanging from his waist swayed with him.

Lin An Bo immediately went forward to greet him. "Assistant Minister."

He Shen waved his hand, and a servant immediately presented a birthday gift.

He Shen smiled and said, "There is also a gift for the Emperor."

Lin An Bo was startled. His mouth was almost tied, and he hurriedly expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

Lin An Bo was a timid person. A few days ago, he had hurriedly offered up a few of his shops for the establishment of the Great Qing Bank.

Although Qianlong had long wanted to abolish Lin An Bo's nobility, Qianlong wasn't as ruthless as his father.

And Lin An Bo's actions had successfully made Qianlong treat him more leniently.

Thus, taking advantage of Lin An Bo's matriarch's birthday, Qianlong had He Shen come.

First, it was to reward Lin An Bo. Second, it was to show others that he didn't want Han Chen to be disappointed.

After expressing his gratitude, Lin An Bo brought his son and welcomed He Shen into the residence.

No matter how high He Shen's official position was, he was still a junior.

He went to see Lin An Bo's matriarch and said a few words. Then, he went to the front hall with Lin An Bo.

Lin An Bo's son was about the same age as He Shen, but he was far from He Shen's age.

He held He Shen in high regard. Along the way, he wanted to talk to He Shen many times, but he was stopped by Lin An Bo. He was afraid that he didn't know the severity of the situation and would annoy He Shen.

How could they, a count's family that was already at the bottom of the social ladder, offend the Emperor's most popular person?

As He Shen walked, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. Lin An Bo was quite frightened.

"Assistant Minister?" Lin An Bo asked, "Is there something wrong?"

He Shen turned his head and looked in a direction, "Is that where the womenfolk are?"

He felt like someone was looking in their direction.

Lin An Bo nodded, "That's right." He couldn't help but wonder if the assistant minister had taken a fancy to his daughter.

Lin An Bo knew in his heart that his daughter was very restless. It was normal for her to wander around outside.

"Today is the matriarch's birthday. There must be a lot of young ladies here," Lin An Bo's son said.

He Shen's eyes moved slightly.

Then the Jia Mansion …

Had someone come?

He seemed to ask casually, "Oh?

Then there are people from Rongguo Province? "

Lin An Bo was surprised, "Assistant Minister, do you have a relationship with Rongguo Province?"

"I've known the Second Master of Rongguo Province for some time."

As he spoke, He Shen's gaze shifted in that direction.

At this time, in the pavilion.

Ling Yue narrowed her eyes and looked into the distance, saying, "My brother is standing there …"

Daiyu and the Three Springs finally diverted some of their attention and glanced in that direction. In their hearts, they were thinking about what kind of person could attract the attention of these young ladies.

Could it be that he had three heads and six arms?

At this time, they heard Xichun say mockingly, "Which one is your brother?"

Ling Yue focused her eyes, "The one wearing the dark purple robe.

However, San Chun's gaze was suddenly drawn to another person.

Although they were far away, they could clearly feel that this person was different. He easily surpassed the eldest son of Lin An Bo.

"Then, then the one wearing the frost robe?"
