Shu Jin and Jiang Duanyu arrived at the Huguo Mansion early, and the guests did not come together. Because the wife of the old protector Jiang Junzheng has passed away for many years, and the wife of the current protector Jiang Cangjin has also died many years ago, Jiang Cangyun lived in a separate mansion with Jiang Cangjin and others before Jiang Cangjin took over the title, so Xie Wanru, Mrs. Ru, became the only hostess of the Protector's Mansion.

Jiang Cangjin did not continue the strings, but Xie Wanru was able to take charge of the Protector Mansion as a lady. This time, she held a birthday banquet for herself and invited guests, so she naturally did her best.

Xie Wanru renovated the garden in the backyard of the Huguo Mansion as a place to entertain female guests, while Jiang Cangjin took the male guests to drink and talk in front.

Shu Jin never understood what Jiang Cangjin thought. If he was obsessed with his wife, he even refused to renew the strings for many years, but he still allowed Xie Wanru to manipulate his birthday in a big way, and even Xie Wanru invited everyone to come with the style of the mistress of the Protector Mansion, and he did not stop it.

But if he really values this noble concubine Xie Wanru, Xie Wanru has already added his son Jiang Duanwu to him, but he has always refused to straighten Xie Wanru, so he let Jiang Duanwu grow up as a concubine for many years.

What a contradictory person.

When Shu Jin and Jiang Duanyu arrived at Jiang Mansion, Xie Wanru and Jiang Duanwu personally greeted them outside. Xie Wanru was wearing a red dress, combing high sideburns, and her makeup was exquisite, although she should be forty years old, she didn't see a single fine line on her face, but because people were in good spirits on happy occasions, she looked red and bright.

When she saw Shu Jin, she hurriedly saluted. Shu Jin just nodded. Congratulations.

It's not that she deliberately made Xie Wanru ugly. It's really because of the huge difference in the identities of the two.

No matter how beautiful Xie Wanru is, she is just Mrs. Ru of the Protector's Mansion, that is, a concubine. Before Jiang Cangjin officially gave her the title of wife, she was equivalent to half a slave. It's like her birthday, although she does it wantonly, but she only dares to wear red, but she doesn't dare to wear red.

Shu Jin has the title of the county lord of the fourth grade, plus he is also a doctor of the Guozijian, and he is a serious court official. So. A nod to her and a congratulations is perfectly polite. This has to be said that Shu Jin is quite polite.

Of course, Xie Wanru won't pick on it. Although she also wants to hold her head up and accept the congratulations of others, she will never forget her identity in front of so many people.

In fact, Shu Jin can come. She came so early, and said congratulations, and prepared a gift in earnest, which already flattered her.

Lord Xiangtang is nothing remarkable. Dr. Guozijian is not much of an official. But to a certain extent, the lord of Xiangtang represents King Yong. Everyone knows this. The lord of Xiangtang came to congratulate himself on his birthday, which is equivalent to King Yong's face! Although, this face may be given for the sake of the face of the protector Gongjiang Cangjin, but it is not important.

Xie Wanru just wanted to show everyone Jiang Cangjin's attitude.

Originally, it was a temptation for her to hold a birthday banquet for herself, and to invite the dignitaries and nobles in the court to come with their wives. For so many years, she has been cautious, hoping that one day she can stand by Jiang Cangjin's side justifiably. Not as his concubine, but as his wife. So. She first let her son go to the palace for a night banquet, and Jiang Cangjin agreed.

Next, she was going to hold a birthday banquet, and Jiang Cangjin also allowed it, and now Jiang Cangjin is in the front hall to receive the dignitaries who came here. Xie Wanru felt that she had finally come to an end.

Jiang Cangjin's series of performances, it is obvious that he is not far from the day of rectification!

"County Lord, please come with me, Duanwu, you take the county horse to the front hall to find your father." Xie Wanru smiled and instructed her son, and then beckoned Shu Jin, "The county lord, please come with me, the female guests are all enjoying the flowers in the garden, and I will introduce a few ladies to the county lord." ”

Shu Jin and Jiang Duanyu glanced at each other, and then Jiang Duanyu followed Jiang Duanwu to the front hall, and Shu Jin followed Xie Wanru to the back garden.

Huguo Gong is a dignified and first-class official, and the mansion is naturally not small, so the back garden area is also very large. The garden is full of trees, mountains and rocks, and there is also an artificial lake, which looks very beautiful. Xie Wanru definitely put a lot of thought into the banquet, and it can be seen from the fine flowers and trees that were built.

There are already many ladies in the garden, except for those who go to admire the flowers and plants, most of them are sitting in the gazebo at the end of a cloister.

"Who's that?"

When Shu Jin followed Xie Wanru towards the pavilion, he heard two women dressed as noblewomen talking to each other more than ten meters away on the left.

Xie Wanru smiled unconsciously, and explained the scenery and distribution in the garden to Shu Jin while walking, but Shu Jin listened to Xie Wanru's words while listening to the words of the other two women.

"Don't you know? That's the Lord of Xiangtang! ”

"Ah, you mean the one in King Yong's Mansion? Why did she even invite this one? ”

"It's not about protecting the face of the country. Cut, but a lady, the pomp is not small. ”

"Hey, be quiet, be careful that the wall has ears."

"What's the big deal? Look at Mrs. Wei over there, Mrs. Liu or something, aren't they all the same ideas as us? ”

"She held a birthday banquet with the permission of the Protector of the Country, and now the Protector of the Protector is helping to receive guests in front. Maybe once this birthday banquet is over, she, like a lady, will become a lady.

Haven't you heard that the eldest young master from the palace night banquet was in attendance? ”

"Humph! No wonder, just now he asked me why our family Xiuci didn't come. This Xie Wanru invited so many ladies to come, could it be the idea of finding a daughter-in-law for her concubine? ”

"Probably, her concubine must be seventeen or eighteen this year, right? hasn't decided on a marriage yet, looking at her busy appearance, maybe it's the idea of fighting! ”

"Humph! Even if she wants to get married, our family Xiuci has to marry her son, when will it be her son's turn! ”

"If she can straighten out, and Bao's son has been missing for many years, won't her son become the eldest son?"

"Whew! Then I might as well choose one of Jiang Cangyun's two sons as my son-in-law! ”

"Shhh You can be quiet! ……”

The two women walked away as they spoke, and their voices could no longer be heard clearly, and at this time, Shu Jin also happened to walk into the pavilion.

"County Lord, to introduce you, this is Mrs. Xie, the wife of Xie Qiang, the secretary of Weiwei Temple. It's also my sister-in-law. Xie Wanru took Shu Jin to introduce her.

"This is the wife of Lord Liu of the Ministry of War, this is Mrs. Wei, and this is ......"

Xie Wanru introduced Shu Jin one by one, and then introduced Shu Jin to everyone. (To be continued......)
