Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

Ting Yi smiled slightly and whispered:

"Minglan, between the two of us, don't hide your skills and let them see what a master is!"

Minglan looked around. The ladies looking at them were either curious or smiling, and one of them blinked at her.

Minglan nodded while weighing the arrow.

Immediately, Ting Yi and Ming Lan threw arrows one after another,

Wuniang sat next to Anmei. Anmei held Wuniang's left hand with both hands and was stroking it carefully. If Minglan hadn't said it, Anmei would have never noticed that the sister's hand was so beautiful and delicate. .

As for Wu Niang's right hand, Wu Niang of the Li family was holding it on the other side and watching.

Seeing the way Chai Zhengzheng looked at the fifth lady of the Li family, Hai Chaoyun whispered beside her: "The younger sister of the Li family likes to read, and her eyes are a bit short-sighted. She can't see clearly when she is far away."

After hearing Hai Chaoyun's words, the fifth lady of the Li family smiled sheepishly.

However, Zhang Jiawu's attention was not on the two girls looking at her hands.

It’s the two ‘players’ on the court who are frighteningly sure to hit every shot they make.

"Sister Tingyi! Are you and I playing pitch pot together to practice our skills?"

Hearing Wu Niang's words, Ting Yi looked over and smiled, but did not deny it.

Chai Zhengzheng next to him looked at the ‘battle situation’ on the field and said:

"Sister Minglan, only with such strength can you see beauties that are difficult for others to discover."

Minglan, who was throwing the pot, pursed her lips in embarrassment.

Ting Yi, who had just hit the target, looked over and said:

"Zhengzheng, this is even a compliment to myself."

Hearing this, the noble ladies in the courtyard chuckled one after another.

Chai Zhengzheng pretended to be angry and gave Gu Tingyi a fierce look.

Rong Feiyan on the side also smiled, then looked at Chai Zhengzheng with admiration and some inquiry, and then looked at her waist and legs.

When the arrows are thrown into the quiver,

There was no need for Si She to announce it, because both of them hit the mark.

On the table,

Wang Ruo and Wang Ruo of the Kang family looked at the four girls from the Kang family who looked like masters and servants in the corridor at the door.

Then he looked at Minglan, who was playing with the noble daughters not far away,

Then he rolled a disgusted look at his younger sister Wang Ruofu who was giggling next to him while listening to the other officials and family members talking.

This white eye happened to be seen by Ru Lan, who frowned and tightened the corners of her mouth.

Wang Ruoyu pulled Wang Ruofu's clothes hard and whispered:

"You still have time to listen to other people's gossip! You don't even want to look at your six concubine girls!"

Wang Ruofu looked at Minglan who was not far away and said:

"Sister, what's wrong? Seeing that the girls are all laughing, Sixth Girl probably didn't offend them."

Hearing this, Wang Ruoyu became even more disgusted:

"Tch, you are really unscrupulous! This concubine girl must be learning the skills of Hu Meizi and seducing people from their bitch concubine!"

"Don't look at the status of those legitimate daughters. She can really play with them shamelessly! It's true."

Wang Ruofu said with some doubts:

"This is a young girl, it's time for fun. And the eldest girl of the Gu family invited her to go."

Wang Ruoyu frowned, touched his handkerchief, and Wang Ruofu said:

"Tsk, you! Think about it! At such a young age, these six girls can please the eldest daughter of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. How can they be so scheming?"

Looking at his speechless sister, Wang Ruoyu glanced sideways at Mo Lan, who had his head lowered, and continued:

"I see, she is just getting to know her in front of the eldest daughter of the Gu family. Maybe she is planning to become the concubine of the prince's son in the future!"

After Kang Yuan'er, the legitimate daughter of the Kang family at the door, heard this, she looked at each other and then looked at the two concubines.

After Mo Lan heard this, he glanced at Ting Xuan not far away with disgust and said nothing.

Ru Lan frowned and said:

"Auntie! Sixth sister is good at throwing pots, so sister Tingyi asked her to play! How can you say that?"

Wang Ruoyu glared at Rulan, nodded Rulan's arm and said:

"You're a dork too!"

Rulan: "Me!"

Wang Ruoyu continued:

"Look at those legitimate daughters, which family has the bad family background? No matter which family that six girls join as concubines, look at whether she gets a share of your mother's dowry!"

"Those should belong to you and your brother!"

Rulan tilted her neck slightly, straightened her chin and said:

"Sixth sister has her grandmother to worry about, so there is no need for her mother."

"I think Auntie, you just see that the daughter of the Kang family doesn't bother to deal with you, and you can't get close to her."

When Wang Ruofu heard that this was about Changbai, her eyes were full of thinking.

After hearing Ru Lan's words, Wang Ruofu said:

"Ru Lan, shut up! How can anyone talk about relatives like that!"

"Sister, what do you think we should do?"

Wang Ruofu's first sentence directly made Wang Ruofu embarrassed.

The words "what are you" came to my lips in anger,

But after hearing the second sentence and seeing Wang Ruofu’s begging look,

Wang Ruoyu knew that he would be wrong and said:

"Of course I want those six girls to come back and stop dealing with the legitimate daughters, otherwise I will lose the face of your Sheng family."

Wang Ruofu nodded, stood up and came to the door of the hall,

Mother Qi of the Kang family, who was standing at the door, caught a glimpse of Wang Ruofu coming out. She clicked her tongue at the right time and then looked at Minglan not far away with disdain and shook her head.

After Wang Ruofu glanced at Mother Qi awkwardly, he quickly waved to Mother Liu.

Mother Liu quickly came over.

"Go and bring Liu Yatou back!"

"A concubine is crowded among the noble daughters! It will be embarrassing if word spreads!"

Mother Liu was stunned when she heard the first sentence.

After listening to what Wang Ruofu said,

Mother Liu then glanced at the Kang Wang family in the hall, who was smiling proudly and toasting with other ladies, and rolled her eyes at Mother Qi again.

He lowered his head and said next to Wang Ruofu:

"Madam, I dare you to tell me that Miss Six is ​​raised in the old lady's house."

Wang Ruofu: "I know!"

Mother Liu said:

"The eldest girl of the Gu family is close to the sixth girl. That's because the old lady is related to the Marquis Mansion."

Wang Ruofu shook his head with doubts in his eyes: So what?

"Madam! In our Sheng family, the old lady is the legitimate daughter of the Hou family."

"The eldest sister is the second eldest lady of Yongyi Hou Mansion!"

Wang Ruofu's chin and corners of his mouth tilted up unconsciously, and he nodded.

"Our family is not a low-class family that treats concubines harshly, nor is it a family where the master has no official position."

"My lord, that's an important member of the civil service."

Wang Ruofu frowned and said, "I know this, but she is a concubine. She may have bad intentions of becoming a concubine when she goes there!"

Mother Liu said:

"Madam, the sixth girl is raised by the old lady. Do you think the old lady will raise a child who wants to be a concubine?"

"When Miss Six passed by just now, she wanted to take Sister Ru with her, but Sister Ru said..."

Wang Ruofu nodded and asked, "What did you say?"

"She said she was not good at throwing pots, and she didn't eat enough roast duck on the table. The sixth girl was thinking about her sister."

Wang Ruofu turned around and looked at Rulan on the table with sharp eyes.

"Madam, the sixth girl's father is an important member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and her sister is the second eldest lady of the Hou Mansion! With such status, it is not shameful to be invited over instead of licking her face and getting closer!"

After speaking, Mother Liu straightened her back and glanced at Mother Qi.

Wang Ruofu frowned and nodded: "But, my sister..."

"Just now, she pushed her own daughter to build relationships! Why is it embarrassing for us, the sixth girl, to be here?"

Wang Ruofu suddenly realized:

"Oops! Just now I was only thinking about what might happen to Changbai and Rulan in the future. Why?"

Then he returned to the hall, first nodded sharply at Ru Lan who looked at her, and then sat down on his seat.

Wang Ruoyu asked: "Have you sent someone?"

Wang Ruofu and a lady who looked at her smiled and raised their glasses and said:

"Sister, I forgot, you just asked your Yoona and Yuan'er to go there, why are you talking about me!"

"I"

the other side,

The second round of pot throwing between Minglan and Tingyi has come to an end.

Ting Yi glanced at Minglan, who was concentrating on throwing the pot, then looked at Chai Zhengzheng and Zhang Jiawu Niang next to him, and then raised his chin towards Minglan.

Everyone still doesn’t understand what’s going on.

Ting Yi said:

"Minglan, I just realized that your skin is so white! Your hair is much darker than when you were in Yangzhou!"

Minglan, who was about to throw the pot, said, "Huh? Sister Tingyi?"

Hearing Gu Tingyi's voice, Chai Zhengzheng on the side rolled his eyes and said:

"Yes! Minglan, why are you so white!"

Rong Feiyan also said: "The skin is so moist."

The fifth lady of the Zhang family: "The hands are so white."

"The eyes are so pretty!"

"Minglan, did you match your clothes and jewelry yourself? They match well!"

Ting Yi looked at Ming Lan, whose face gradually turned red after being praised, and was a little at a loss. Her eyes were filled with the look of her 'trick' succeeding, and she threw the arrow sideways: Hit!

aside,

Minglan faced the admiring looks and words around her and waved her hands shyly:

"Sisters, I was wrong. I will never tell the truth again!"

Hearing this, the ladies around them laughed again.

"Minglan, we are telling the truth!"

"When you end up, I have to touch your little face!"

"Hahaha"

Ting Yi said with a wicked smile: "Minglan, you vote first!"

After Minglan tried it a few times in a daze, she threw it out reflexively.

Ding

bang

Zhang Jiawu Niang shouted in surprise:

"Easy pole!"

Xiao Xiaotao and Minglan looked at each other blankly.

Minglan looked at the arrow leaning on the mouth of the throwing pot and thought to herself: Oops! I was so praised that I forgot my mother's advice.

"Ha ha ha ha"

"Sister Tingyi, what are you...haha"

The girls around covered their mouths and laughed.

Minglan, who was on the side, was stunned for a moment, and then she also laughed and said:

"It just happened. It happened."

At this time,

More than a dozen female envoys from the Duke of Qi's Mansion lined up with trays and filed into the courtyard.

Attracting the attention of the smiling girls,

I saw the female envoys entering each room in an orderly manner.

Soon, a female envoy came under the pavilion, squatted down with a tray and said:

"Dear guests, this is the iced watermelon and watermelon juice prepared by the house. Please enjoy it."

The slightly thirsty girls picked up porcelain plates from the trays. There were cold watermelons cut into pieces on the white porcelain plates.

Minglan was pulled by Gu Tingyi and came to the female envoy of the Duke's Mansion.

Then he took the porcelain plate from Chai Zhengzheng's hand. There was also a spoon on the porcelain plate.

The watermelons in Guogong Mansion are naturally carefully selected and very sweet.

After Minglan ate a few pieces, she looked at the porcelain plate with three or four pieces of watermelon left. She looked around and quickly stuffed a piece of watermelon into Xiaoxiaotao's mouth.

When Xiao Xiaotao puffed up her cheeks and ate watermelon,

But he saw that among the ladies around him, some of them gave the porcelain plates to the maids beside them.

Female servants like Ye'er next to An Mei, Ning Xiang and Xi Bu next to Rong Feiyan were also eating from porcelain plates.

The sharp-eyed female envoy from the Duke's Palace saw that Minglan's porcelain plate was almost empty, and immediately came over and placed the tray in front of Minglan.

There are several whole plates of watermelon on the tray.

Minglan took out a plate and put it in Xiao Tao's hand:

"eat!"

At the ladies’ table,

Also served with iced watermelon,

Wang Ruoyu put down the porcelain plate in his hand.

After wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, he looked at Wang Ruofu and whispered:

"The transaction has been going on for so long. What do you think of this usury transaction, sister?"

Wang Ruofu nodded with satisfaction:

"not bad!"

"Sister, you can continue to invest more! You don't need to worry, I will take care of it for you. Then you only need to give me some hard-earned money to my sister."

Wang Ruofu said with some embarrassment: "I don't have much money in my hands now, so I want to invest more."

Wang Ruoyu looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to her and said:

"Your Sheng family's business is so big now, isn't it the money that has been given to your Sheng family's second house in the past six months?"

Wang Ruofu said in embarrassment: "This, how can this be done!"

"Why can't you do it? That money is useless if you keep it in the public house. If we take it and release it, wouldn't it mean that money begets money? This is the way to run a household and make money!"

Wang Ruoyu continued: "Besides, we have the power of the Wang family, plus the relationship between the Kang family and the Sheng family."

"Now your in-laws are very popular, and you also have a fierce and aggressive little son of Mo Xing. With these old in-laws, what are you afraid of!?"

"If the money is released, no matter who he is, who dares not to pay it back?"

Wang Ruofu put down the porcelain plate in his hand and said, "Then I can take some out?"

Kang Wang smiled and patted Wang Ruofu's hand and said, "If you have more, you won't lose money."

the other side

On the tables of Princess Pingning, the British Princess and other ladies,

The female servant of the Chai family came from time to time to talk to Mrs. Chai about Chai Zhengzheng’s situation.

Listening to Chai Zhengzheng having fun with the ladies from various families, the smile on Mrs. Chai's face became more and more sincere.

Mrs. Chai looked at Mrs. Xie who was holding Xu's grandson, and then at Mrs. Yongyi Hou's wife, Mrs. Sun, and the elegant Hua Lan beside her.

From the morning to the present banquet, Mrs. Chai could see that the relationship between the Xu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was quite harmonious in speech and behavior.

And the married sister-in-law, no, the eldest girl Pingmei,

Bai Shi, the eldest wife of Ningyuan Marquis, talked from time to time.

The demeanor in her movements is somewhat different from that of her mother, Mrs. Sun.

She is quite similar to her mother-in-law Bai.

Anmei, the youngest daughter of the Xu family.

Through the information revealed by Princess Pingning,

Mrs. Chai looked at the very low-key Mrs. Pan who was sitting at the end of the table.

With the affairs of the Kingdom of Jin, the future of the Pan family in Dengzhou will only get better.

Moreover, the Xu family did not regret the marriage because of the accident at the Huyan family, and they were loyal people.

As the head matron of the Chai family, Mrs. Chai's thoughts changed from gratitude to gratitude after meeting the Xu family.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Chai and Mrs. Wu beside her whispered:

"Sister, I forgot to ask before, is this brother Xu Jiajing's marriage settled?"

Mrs. Wu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Mrs. Sun, thought about it and said:

"Someone has asked me to ask before."

Mrs. Chai nodded, it was strange that no one asked about such a good family background.

"What my sister told me was that we should wait until his younger son takes the exam."

Mrs. Chai looked at Mrs. Wu with some surprise in her eyes and said:

"That means you haven't discussed the marriage yet?"

Mrs. Wu nodded: "However, it has been quite a while since I asked this matter. Should I ask again?"

Mrs. Chai patted Mrs. Wu's hand gratefully.

Mrs. Chai was talking to Mrs. Wu without avoiding Princess Pingning who was beside her.

After the two of them finished talking, Mrs. Wu got up and went to find Mrs. Sun.

Princess Pingning said in Mrs. Chai’s ear:

"Brother Jing and Mrs. Sun know about Zhengzheng. The marriage is really going to happen. Once they get married, they will be inferior to others."

Mrs. Chai looked at Mrs. Wu who was walking over and said:

"I don't know yet whether it will succeed or not, but I think the Xu family is a good family."

"Besides, if we leave such a nice person without asking, it will be said that something is wrong if nothing happens."

"Even if it doesn't work out, I can still raise the price for my brother Xu."

As she said that, Mrs. Chai glanced at the eldest lady of the Rong family who was talking to someone else.

Mrs. Chai knew all the words her daughter heard.
