Chapter 222
Liu Jun talked about Gu Man's family affairs like Wu Tongtong, and Su Wan listened quietly.
Although she was in Suzhou City before and had seen Rong Musheng a few times, she knew very well that Liu Junru and Wu Tongtong did not know less than her, and the reason why she talked about this topic at this time was just a regret that she couldn't witness the marriage of her old friend.
But she was silent, which made Liu Junru and others feel good.
If Su Wan talked about Gu Man's family affairs with these people who were meeting them for the first time, it might make people feel frivolous.
On the contrary, Su Wan's knowledge of advance and retreat is even more impressive.
"You have called Sister Man'er, and in the future, we will be our sisters, Man'er values you, and I think you can also have fun with us," Wu Tongtong said after changing the topic.
"Then you're welcome," Su Wanli said.
On this side, Su Wan temporarily found the 'organization', and on the other hand, after Zhou found out about Su Wan's situation, he couldn't stop being surprised.
Liu Junru and Wu Tongtong and others, the official positions of their fathers and brothers in the family, the highest is only the third grade, and the female dependents who are chatting with the Zhou family here take out one at random, and they are all the third grade.
But the problem is that today's feast is divided into three areas.
The first area is located at the top and is ready for the royal family such as the lord of Yunyang.
The other two areas are on both sides of the hall, with the daughters of civil officials on one side and the daughters of military attaches on the other.
And the official positions of military attachés and generals, the third rank can often be compared to the second rank of civil officials, and even the second rank of civil officials, and generally will not provoke military attaches of the third rank.
Zhou's heart was a little uncomfortable, this second-room maid she didn't pay attention to from the beginning, from the first day she arrived in the capital, she subverted some of her ideas, and now she is a little overwhelmed.
Today, it seems that she took the three sisters of Su Wan to attend the banquet of the county lord of Yunyang, but in fact, the invitation was that of the three sisters of Su Wan, and she was the one who was piggybacked.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have had a chance to be here today.
These are just that, but when she saw that Su Wan was so easy, she smiled at Yan Yan with the female dependents she couldn't talk to, and Zhou was really a little confused.
And those who are also confused are not only Zhou, but also Su Meng and Su Qing, and even the ladies who are chatting with Zhou.
Su Meng and Su Qing just stopped, and they gradually accepted Su Wan's 'brilliance'.
But the other ladies still can't understand it.
In the introduction of the Zhou family, Su Meng and Su Qing are the daughters of the Su family, and Su Wan is the concubine.
But why, the concubine is more brilliant.
Liu Junru and Wu Tongtong and others have their own small circles, and it is extremely difficult for outsiders to integrate into them, but as soon as Su Wan appeared today, he was called over by Liu Junru, and they obviously got along well at this time.
Could it be that they all looked away, this Su Wan is actually very different.
Thinking of the rumors in recent days, the county lord of Yunyang sent an invitation to the Su family alone, and three at a time, one of which was specified to Su Wan.
Everyone couldn't help but guess that the true meaning of these three invitations was about to fall on Su Wan.
Otherwise, as the county lord of Yunyang, why send an invitation to a concubine, unless this concubine has something that the county lord of Yunyang values.
I can't say, Su Meng and Su Qing's invitations are just piggybacking.
I have to say, these people are the truth.
Just when everyone's minds were tactful, today's main appearance was made, and Su Wan hurriedly returned to the Su family while there was still some time.
"Concubine Hui is here, Princess Changping is here, and the county lord of Yunyang is here..."
A female official sang, and everyone immediately knelt on the ground and saluted.
Su Wan secretly said in his heart, there are really people from the royal family who have arrived.
"Get up, today is Yunyang's banquet, don't disturb everyone's interest because of this palace," Concubine Hui said.
Sitting down in his seat again, Su Wan quietly looked at the first three people.
In the center is naturally Concubine Hui, and on both sides of Concubine Hui are the lord of Yunyang and the princess of Changping.
As far as Su Wan knows, Concubine Hui is the biological mother of the third prince, and she is naturally not young, although she is well-maintained, she can still see the traces of time on her face.
And Princess Changping, the daughter of Concubine Hui, has long been married and has her own princess mansion.
These three people seem to be the most inferior in the identity of the county lord of Yunyang, but in fact, they are not.
Although Concubine Hui is an imperial concubine, if she doesn't have three princes under her knees, she is just a harem concubine, not as good as the princess and the county lord next to her, and they all have real royal blood.
And between the princess of Changping and the lord of Yunyang.
It seems that the county lord is not as good as the princess, but in the royal family, blood is one thing, and more importantly, the attitude of the royal family, the county lord of Yunyang is more faceless than the princess of Changping in front of the emperor.
"In the middle of winter, let everyone come, one is to gather with everyone, and the other is that everyone must also know that in previous years, at this time, not to mention far, just say that in the capital, there are always many people who suffer from wind and snow, and this year is no exception..."
The county lord of Yunyang said very directly, the main purpose of today's banquet is to raise donations.
Su Wan was not surprised by this matter.
In fact, when she received the invitation, Su Wan knew about today's situation.
And as the county lord of Yunyang said, the wind and snow are like this every year, and the fundraising is also like this every year.
Everyone was prepared before they came.
It's just that Su Wan still has a little pain.
If it is said that today is simply for fundraising, it is impossible.
Otherwise, what are Concubine Hui and Princess Changping doing here?
Su Wan was very suspicious, Concubine Hui was specially invited by the county lord of Yunyang, and Concubine Hui also pushed the boat down the river.
The latter wanted to use fundraising to see the situation of each family, and the county lord of Yunyang put Concubine Hui on the bright side, so that those who wanted to show had a chance to perform, and she could raise more donations.
And this strategy is very effective, Su Wan knows very well how much money the Su family has prepared.
Although he knew that even if he didn't donate the silver, it wouldn't be his own, Su Wan still felt distressed.
Soon, the amount of donations from the ladies of each family sounded in the banquet hall, and Su Wan's teeth itched when she listened.
If she was still in the orphanage, when she heard that someone had donated so much to her orphanage, she would have hugged the donor's leg and cried to him.
It's so inflated.
Donations are also made in order, from lowest to highest, according to the situation of each family.
When I arrived at the Su family, it was not just about donating silver, in addition to silver, there were also various treasures and the like.
Su Wan heard very clearly that the Su family donated the white jade bodhisattva that Mo Yuru had given to the old lady.
When the White Jade Bodhisattva was presented in front of everyone, a lot of exclamations sounded in Su Wan's ears.
It can be seen that this bottle Bodhisattva is not only visible to the old lady, but also the high-ranking officials of the family here, and they are inevitably attracted.
Especially the first Concubine Hui, who directly asked people to take the white jade bodhisattva over, looked at it carefully, and showed a very obvious affection in her eyes.
