Jiang Suoyue brushed away the willow branches that swayed gently in the warm breeze and walked in the direction of the main courtyard. There was a bustling sound in the distance, startling a white waterfowl resting on the edge of the lake. Jiang Suoyue looked at the waterfowl that flew higher and higher and gradually disappeared from sight, and was stunned.

"Miss-" Peach called out to the side, walking well, why did Miss stay here? Today's Jiangfu banquet, because there are many young women's relatives coming, Mrs. asked the young lady to go to the main courtyard to accompany the reception, the young lady stopped here in a daze, is it possible that she is not going?

Jiang Suoyue came back to her senses and said, "Let's go." ”

She walked with nothing on her face, but she thought a lot in her heart, in a blink of an eye, she had been in this world for more than five years, and the long-term restraint made her gradually forget her previous way of life, as if she was a member of this world, and she was a concubine struggling to survive under the pressure of her mother in this Jiang Mansion, but just now, she looked at the water bird that gradually flew away, and a wisp of envy appeared in her heart, and then she remembered that she had also had the happiness of being free and easy, but now she can't.

She sighed almost inaudibly, and even then she was content, at least she was truly between heaven and earth, and could really feel the heat in her chest. Being alive is more important than anything else, but what is it just to meet the smug face of the Eda clan.

Jiang Tian is naturally proud, her son, Jiang Qingshu, the sister-in-law of the Jiang family, won the Chun Zhong, and ordered the Shu Jishi of the Hanlin Academy, everyone knows that the Hanlin Academy is noble and noble, because there is a great possibility of entering the cabinet when entering the Hanlin Academy, so the Hanlin Academy has always been the place where the people of the scholars yearn for. With such good news, the Eda clan naturally has to do a good job.

In addition to celebrating his son, Jiang Tian's organization of this banquet also had an important purpose, which was to arrange the marriage for Jiang Qingshu. Jiang Qingshu is already 20 years old this year, and he should already start a family, in the past, he himself proposed that he wanted to study quietly, and did not want to start a family too early, Jiang Zhaolin had high hopes for this eldest son who would stand up to the door in the future, and he agreed with his plan very much, so he followed Jiang Qingshu's request.

Although Jiang Tian was dissatisfied, but when he thought of waiting for his son to talk about a more valuable family affair after high school, his mind was also lively, and now she got what she wanted, so she naturally spared no effort to show up, and today's banquet invited many people to bring their daughters to come, obviously with the intention of looking at each other, and sent Jiang Suoyue sisters to go to the reception, lest they snub the guests and delay Jiang Qingshu's good marriage.

It was still early when Jiang Suanyue arrived, and most of the guests had not yet arrived, and only Jiang Tian and the second aunt Jiang Fan were chatting with the two ladies in the hall, one was her cousin Jiang He, and the other was Tian Fang, the sister-in-law of Jiang Tian's mother's family.

Although Jiang Suoyue didn't often come out to socialize, those who had close contacts with the Jiang family still knew each other, so she stepped forward and saluted one by one, and respectfully stepped aside and sat down.

Jiang Tian deliberately dressed up today, wearing a silver-red gold button rich peony pattern Song Jin gown, with a honey-colored pleated flower skirt, the hair bun was not messy, wearing a red gold inlaid white jade head, the thin gold leaf was gathered into a peony flower crooked between the temples, lined with the joy on the face, as if a few years younger, and even looked at Jiang Suoyue's eyes were a little kinder. Although Jiang Fan was wearing a set of dresses for the Hibiscus Golden Eight Reunions, and he was dressed very rich and festive, the look on his face was a little sad, and his smile was very reluctant.

Compared with Jiang Tian's spring breeze, Jiang Fan's is like a frosted eggplant, no wonder she is like this, the secret competition between the concubines is common, she has always felt that her husband is not as good as her sister-in-law, and now she sees that her sister-in-law's son has a chance, and her son has not been lifted yet, and she can't help but be jealous in her heart. In addition, the niece of the maiden family, who originally made her very proud, did not become a mother step by step as she wished, but just promoted from a talented person to a nobleman, she died in the palace for no reason. The death of a little nobleman is not at all turbulent in that deep palace, and the Fan family outside the palace has no way of even knowing the cause of death, but they are even more sincerely afraid, lest their own girl offend which noble person in the palace, for fear that the Fan family will be tired. After this series of blows, Jiang Fan's family put on a few more layers of powder, and his face was afraid that he couldn't see where to go.

Jiang Suoyue saw Jiang Fan's face and knew the reason for her unhappiness, she had learned the news that the daughter of the Fan family was dead in the palace earlier, but this did not make Jiang Suoyue, who had a tough personality, retreat, because she had no way to retreat, she just warned herself in her heart, the emperor's luck is like this, holding you to the sky today, tomorrow may make you die without a place to be buried. Only by relying on oneself to climb up step by step, even if it is unscrupulous, it also requires self-preservation.

This Jiang Suoyue was thinking about her thoughts, Jiang He's was secretly looking at her over there, she saw that although Jiang Suaoyue was still young, she was frowning, green silk condensed ink, her pretty face was even white, she lowered her head softly and quietly, and a slight smile at the corner of her mouth, reflecting the sunlight shining in from the window, it was really like a pearl and a beautiful jade.

She nodded secretly in her heart, thinking of her mother's little nephew, a satisfied smile appeared on her face, and she looked at the Jiang Tian clan in a half-joking tone, and said: "The six girls in your family are really getting better and better-looking, look at this handsome person, tsk-I don't know what kind of family is blessed to marry such a talented girl." If you haven't allowed someone yet, it's better to give it to my family. ”

Jiang Tian's heart was a little unhappy, the Jiang family's cousin's current official position is just a foreign man from the fifth grade, she doesn't look down on this kind of family, but she doesn't like Jiang He's praise of Jiang Suoyue in front of her, but her face is not obvious, she only smiled: "Sister-in-law, don't make fun of the six girls, the eldest of the two boys in your family has already married, and the younger one is also married." Speaking of this, she was a little annoyed in her heart, didn't her sister-in-law want to ask for a concubine for the kid in the family? really dare to open her mouth, although these six girls are worthy of being concubines in her eyes, they should not go to such a poor family, what is the use of going to such a family!

"How can those two boys in my family have such a blessing, they have wronged such a good child in vain. It's a nephew of my mother's family, and I see that the two children are very good, so I intend to be this matchmaker. Jiang He is talking about the youngest son of her mother's younger brother, who is now fourteen years old, studies very hard, and is now a talent. She saw that Jiang Suaoyue was good-looking, well-behaved, and looked very suitable for her mother's little nephew, so she started to think of being a matchmaker. And she has another plan in her heart, her mother's family background is not obvious, if she can hire the daughter of the household servant's family, even if it is a concubine, as long as she climbs to this level of relationship, it will definitely help her little nephew in the future. It's just that she is thinking about it now, but she hasn't discussed it with her younger brother and sister, so it's not good to talk too much, so she only deals with it half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Jiang Tian sneered in his heart, how could she not know the situation of He's mother's family, she still has a use for keeping these six girls, where is she willing to let them out easily, so she also said vaguely: "The six girls are still young, it's still early, let's take a look in the future." ”

Jiang Suoyue has also heard about Jiang He's situation, and vaguely knows that her maiden brother's official position is not high, but he is still a serious and wealthy person, and listening to her means to hire him as a wife, it is also a good way out, but Jiang Tian's family may not be happy, just listen to what she just revealed, and know that she doesn't want to agree.

She sighed secretly in her heart, the Jiang Tian clan really wouldn't let her go easily, but she was also mentally prepared, and she couldn't talk about being disappointed, so she also restrained her thoughts, listened to them be polite to each other, and played homely.

After a while, Jiang Jiaoyue was late, thinking that it took a while to dress up, but she saw that she was dressed in a peach-colored silk dress with silver thread twisted beads and lilies, and the head was not gorgeous, but her eyebrows were carefully described, and there was a string of pearl necklaces hanging around her neck, the beads were full and round, with a faint halo, lined with white jade-like cheeks, which was even more pink and delicate, bright and refined.

After a while, many people came one after another, and Jiang Tian's family went to greet him, and asked Jiang Jiaoyue to take all the ladies to take a stroll in the garden, and Jiang Ruyue and Jiang Suoyue sisters accompanied her.
