Zou hid his thoughts and never slept well all night.

The next day, I saw Xiao Zou, and Zou subconsciously felt a sense of weakness. Fortunately, Xiao Zou was busy telling Ji Yu to be well-behaved and honest not to cause trouble, and he didn't notice Zou's abnormality for a while.

Xu Jinyu quietly tugged at Zou's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Mother, you can't do this." I'm afraid that my aunt will see that something is wrong. "Xiao Zou is so shrewd, it is not easy to lie in front of her.

Zou Shi froze and replied a little apologetically: "I didn't pay attention just now, I must be careful in the future." ”

Xu Jinyu smiled and comforted the Zou family: "Don't be nervous, just like on weekdays." Today is a guest at home, and my aunt has no time to ask you anything. It's a matter for later to ask. ”

Zou really felt a lot more at ease.

Xu Jinyu sighed secretly.

Was she too optimistic before? With the Zou family's city government, if you want to deal with the little Zou family, I'm afraid that you can't do it.

It's just as long as you can handle it. It's a big deal, tear your face and shoot it apart! When Xiao Zou shows her true colors, she doesn't have to endure it, and directly expose the ugly things between her and Ji Ze. Let this pair of cheap ~ people be ruined

"Eldest sister," Xiao Zou finished telling Ji Yu, and walked to Zou's side with a smile, and his voice was a little more intimate than usual: "Going to King Qin's Mansion today is more casual than entering the palace." However, after all, it is a royal mansion, and there are always more rules than our Hou Mansion. Today, you and Jinniang are by my side, and I can take care of them at any time. ”

Zou smiled and responded.

Xiao Zou glanced at Xu Jinyu when he saw the delicate hosta on Xu Jinyu's head. couldn't help laughing and said: "The hosta that Jin Niang wore today is very good-looking, why haven't I seen you wear it in the past?" ”

At this time, Gu Caiping happened to follow Ji Yu into the main hall.

Xu Jinyu's warm and sweet voice floated into Gu Caiping's ears: "Does my aunt also think this hosta is good-looking?" This is what Sister Gu specially gave me when she saw that I didn't have much jewelry! This golden hairpin. and the bracelet on my hand, which was given to me by Sister Gu. Sister Gu is really generous! ”

As he spoke, he smiled sweetly at Gu Caiping: "Sister Gu, you are so good to me, I really don't know how to give it back as a gift." ”

Gu Caiping: ""

Gu Caiping, who was pit hard, was poked in the center again, not to mention how much I was stunned. But in front of everyone, especially when Ji Ze was also present. It can't be revealed in any way.

Gu Caiping forced out a smile: "It's just a few pieces of jewelry, Sister Xu just needs to wear them, and you don't have to worry about any return gifts." ”

Xu Jinyu was moved: "It's Sister Gu's thoughts." Then I'll be disrespectful. ”

Don't, I was just polite, don't take it seriously! It's time to return the gift!

Gu Caiping's complexion was subtle and wonderful.

Ji Yu couldn't help but smile and exchanged a knowing look with Xu Jinyu. Who let Gu Caiping take the initiative to provoke yesterday. You deserve to be teased!

An hour later. The carriage of the Marquis of Weining arrived at the Qin Palace.

It was the first time Xu Jinyu stepped into the Qin Palace, and couldn't help but take a few closer looks. It is worthy of the prince's mansion, and there is luxury and elegance everywhere.

Ji Yu smiled and said, "I'll make sure you open your eyes later, there must be a lot of female dependents who come today." ”

Xu Jinyu asked in a low voice, "Didn't you say that there are only a few tables of family banquets?" "It's just Princess Qin's birthday, how can there be so many female guests?

Ji Yu pulled the corners of her lips, and her voice was a little lower: "There are many people who want to curry favor with King Qin, but there is no chance on weekdays, and Princess Qin has her birthday." Isn't this opportunity coming? ”

Xu Jinyu was stunned.

Yes, King Qin will be really prosperous for a few years. The civil and military officials of the capital. I don't know how many people show favor openly and secretly. Princess Qin's birthday is an excellent opportunity to show goodwill. It is inconvenient for men to come to the door, and it is always possible for the women of the family to come to the palace with generous gifts.

This is also the top female social circle of the Great Yan Dynasty. If it weren't for the light of the Hou Mansion, she and her brother and mother really wouldn't have had a chance to come to the Qin Palace.

However, she would rather not touch such a light.

Male and female guests are separated. Xu Zheng followed Ji Ze to see King Qin, and Xu Jinyu was led into the inner hall of King Qin's mansion by the housekeeper's mother along with Xiao Zou and others. At this time, there were already many female guests in the inner hall. There are a few faces that are still a little familiar. I probably saw it last time I was a guest at the Anguo Mansion.

Everyone was waiting for Princess Li of Qin to appear, even if they were familiar with each other, it was inconvenient to greet each other, just smiled and nodded to each other.

Everyone's eyes glanced at Gu Caiping intentionally or unintentionally. How could the young daughter of the Gu family follow the people of the Marquis of Weining Mansion as a guest in a bright and bright manner

Thanks to Gu Caiping's thick skin, he turned a blind eye and looked calm.

Ji Yu leaned in and whispered in Xu Jinyu's ear: "The one with a round and rich figure is Prime Minister Zuo's wife." Standing beside her was the wife of Lord Zhao of the Ministry of Rites."

Xu Jinyu was secretly shocked when she heard this.

Although the prince took up the eldest and became the prince, it was a pity that he was mediocre, and the emperor treated the prince mediocre. The king of Qin is famous, and the saint is long.

The mind is lively, and at this time, I can't help but have the idea of welcoming both sides. This can be seen from the female dependents who came today.

Ji Yu said and suddenly stopped. His gaze quickly swept over a dignified lady in fine clothes, and there was a rare hint of timidity.

Xu Jinyu asked curiously: "Cousin, which lady is that?" ”

Ji Yuqiao's face flushed slightly, and she said after a while: "It's the wife of Li Shangshu of the Criminal Department." ”

Li Shangshu of the Criminal Department?

Xu Jinyu was stunned at first, and then reacted. Isn't that Ji Yu's future husband's family? In other words, the lady in gorgeous clothes is Ji Yu's future mother-in-law.

No wonder even the calm and elegant Ji Yu lost a little calm.

"Cousin, that Mrs. Li is looking at you!" Xu Jinyu chuckled: "Aren't you going to say hello to your prospective daughter-in-law?" Be careful to marry into the Li Mansion in the future, your mother-in-law deliberately makes things difficult for you. ”

Ji Yu glanced at Xu Jinyu, and felt that Xu Jinyu's words made some sense. But after all, she is still a girl who has not left the cabinet, how embarrassing it is to run in front of her mother-in-law like this!

Xu Jinyu was so careful and keen, she quickly guessed Ji Yu's thoughts, thought for a while, and said with a low smile: "At this time, I am waiting for Princess Qin, and it is inconvenient to speak." Later, when you go to the banquet, just go and say hello. You're embarrassed to be thin-skinned, I'll go with you then. ”

Ji Yu's heart warmed and hummed softly.

There was a sound of footsteps coming from the doorway. I don't know which of the ladies of the house is coming.

Everyone looked at it intently. Xu Jinyu also glanced at it casually, and then was slightly stunned. (To be continued......)

PS: Small Theater:

Xu Jinyu: Cousin, why do you look uncomfortable?

Ji Yu: I met my mother-in-law-to-be! What about you, why are you stunned?

Xu Jinyu: I don't sue you!
