The front hall of the Marquis of Jingshun Mansion has gathered many people. As soon as the three of them stepped in, they were attracted by the lively scene.

Most of the women in the front hall were from the back house, and only a few men who had not yet reached the crown stayed here with the elders of the family.

Li Zhongxuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly at Shen Qiaoan and Ji Qiaohui, and said, "Blame me for being rude, but I didn't expect that this Jingshun Marquis Mansion birthday banquet also followed the rules and asked men and women to separate tables."

After that, he bowed down to the two of them and bowed heavily, "I'll go ahead first, and the two girls will meet next time if they are fated." ”

"Li Gongzi," knowing that Li Zhongxuan had misunderstood that he hadn't seen other men here, Shen Qiaoan hurriedly called out to stop him, who had already turned around to leave, and said, "Gu Gongzi from the Marquis of Jingshun Mansion is also here, and they all get together today."

Li Zhongxuan looked at the innermost part when he heard this, and sure enough, he saw Gu Congsheng standing beside Old Madam Gu.

The three of them walked in together. Almost as soon as he stepped into the front hall, Gu Congsheng's gaze moved to Shen Qiaoan. Then Gu Congsheng bent down slightly, leaned into the ear of Old Madam Gu and said something.

Shen Qiao'an secretly said in her heart that it was not good, and before she could find a way to take the opportunity to escape, the eyes of Old Madam Gu in front of her had already seen her.

Old Madam Gu is over half a hundred years old, and her hair is all gray, but she is neatly curled up with a dot of emerald gold; The face is full of furrows, but it seems to be kind and kind, giving people a very warm feeling. Old Madam Gu is old, but her demeanor is not worse than when she was beautiful and young.

Ji Qiaohui is the granddaughter of Old Madam Gu, and when she saw Old Madam Gu looking at them, she smiled respectfully at her, pulled Shen Qiaoan and walked forward.

Ahead, Ji Qingliu was standing beside Gu Congsheng, and when he saw Shen Qiaoan coming, his face changed a little in an instant.

Shen Qiaoan struggled in his heart, and seeing that he could not avoid it at this time, he simply boldly followed behind Ji Qiaohui.

"Qiaohui has seen her grandmother." Ji Qiaohui made a big salute to Mrs. Gu, and between her words and deeds, people couldn't find the slightest mistake.

"Good, good!" Old Madam Gu took Ji Qiaohui's hand and patted it gently, and then her eyes moved, looking at Shen Qiaoan behind Ji Qiaohui.

"Come, I'll see." Old Madam Gu beckoned to Shen Qiao'an, asked her to come to her, and asked Ji Qiaohui, "This is the daughter of Ji Huan's old friend, right?"

Shen Qiao'an lowered his eyebrows and saluted the old lady Gu, "Qiao An has seen the old lady. ”

Old Madam Gu only felt that the girl in front of her was very cute, and she spoke gently and gently, and then she thought of the jade ruyi sent today, so she loved Shen Qiaoan even more.

Old Madam Gu said: "Since Ji Huan has recognized you as a righteous daughter, if you don't dislike it, you can call me grandmother like Qiaohui and them."

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings immediately fell silent. Everyone looked at Shen Qiaoan with different expressions and looked at it secretly.

Ji Qingliu's small face changed because of Old Madam Gu's words, her pupils shrank sharply, and her eyes showed some disbelief.

The monstrous anger surged into his heart, Ji Qingliu stood aside, his hands hidden in the wide sleeved robe, and squeezed it hard.

What is the identity of Old Madam Gu, just by virtue of Shen Qiaoan, how can she match?

No matter what the others present thought, Old Madam Gu's words obviously gave Shen Qiaoan a big face.

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Shen Qiao'an's face, she bowed, and refused without humility or arrogance: "Old Mrs. Gu, Qiao An is just an orphan girl, although her father-in-law adopted Qiao An with her old love, thanks to the old lady's love, Qiao An really can't bear this matter."

After Gu Congsheng saw Shen Qiaoan himself, he had a deep affection for her at a glance, and when he heard that his grandmother intended to accept her as a junior, he couldn't wait to agree for Shen Qiaoan immediately.

"Sister Shen, it's not impossible to ......"

Before he finished speaking, Ji Qingliu beside him reached out and grabbed his cuffs, "Cousin!" ”

Ji Qiaohui glanced at Shen Qiao'an, deliberately relieved her, and said to Old Madam Gu; "Grandmother, it's time for the feast, right? You see that there are many guests in the house today, and my grandmother should not patronize and talk to Sister Joan and forget about the others! ”

The sun outside had gradually sunk in the west, and the dishes in the back kitchen had already been prepared in advance, just waiting for Old Madam Gu's order to start the table.

Old Madam Gu waved her hand and said, "Okay! Let's have a seat! ”

"Grandmother...... Ji Qingliu walked to Mrs. Gu a few times, glanced at Shen Qiao'an casually from the corner of her eyes, and said, "Today's grandmother's birthday, why don't you let Qingliu paint a picture for your grandmother today?"

"Originally, today was a good day for my grandmother, but Qingliu was dull, not as good as Sister Shen who would give things to please my grandmother, so I had to make a picture in public to please my grandmother."

Below, the invited guests have taken their seats.

"Good! Today, the old body will check to see if you are lazy on weekdays! Old Madam Gu said with a smile.

"Qingliu is not good at learning, but she also tries not to disappoint her grandmother." Then he turned his eyes and saw Shen Qiaoan, "I heard that when Sister Shen was in her hometown, she was also a talented girl who read poetry and books and knew all kinds of arts." Qingliu is not talented, but I don't know if Sister Shen is willing to compete with me today?"
