Chapter 350: Going to the Banquet
On the day of entering the palace for the banquet, snow foam began to fall before dawn, like snow but not snow, and when it fell to the ground, it turned into ice water.
The sky was covered with layers of clouds, revealing cyan.
Old Madam Feng got up early and sent Ah Fu to Haitang Residence to see how Jiang seemed to be cleaned up.
After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, Jiang seemed to walk in with Ah Fu.
Old Madam Feng looked her up and down, first looking at the hairstyle, then at the clothes, and finally even the pattern on the upper of the shoe did not forget to sweep it, and then asked with a smile: "Did you sleep well last night?" β
Jiang seemed to nod slightly: "Okay." β
"When you enter the palace, you must abide by the rules, don't look at what you shouldn't see, don't say what you shouldn't say, you can do what others do. There is one thing to remember, don't get into trouble......" Old Madam Feng advised.
After the excitement of receiving the invitation, all that remains is worry.
Old Madam Feng realized that her granddaughter was not a good person, and if she had a temper in the palace and collided with a nobleman, it would be terrible.
"Remember?"
Jiang Ru lowered his eyes and nodded: "Hmm." β
Old Madam Feng held her breath in her throat.
She's going to have to dry her saliva, so this girl can't say a few more words!
"Alright, let's go early, remember to bring a hand stove."
"My granddaughter is gone."
Jiang seemed to owe a debt to Old Madam Feng, turned around and went out, and walked to the gate of the Compassion Hall and met Cousin Dou.
Facing Cousin Dou, Jiang seemed to smile and took the initiative to say hello.
Cousin Dou returned the salute and walked into the Cixin Hall to greet Mrs. Feng.
In front of Cousin Dou, Old Madam Feng was much more casual, leaning on the pillow and asking, "Have you met the fourth girl?" β
"I happened to meet at the door."
"Ah Wan, what do you think of the four girls?" Old Madam Feng suddenly asked.
Cousin Dou's aunt's name is Shuwan.
"Four girls stand out in every way, it's a rarity." Dou Shuwan carefully considered the words, but thought about her brother's reminder.
Old Madam Feng smiled meaningfully: "You are a stable person, the fourth girl is still a child, I just hope you can get along in the future." β
Dou Shuwan's heart jumped.
What does my aunt mean by that?
Although Dou Shuwan didn't talk much, her mind was clear, and she thought that she was talking with the old lady a few times, so the old lady ordered someone to invite Jiang Ancheng over, and suddenly guessed what the old lady meant.
Aunt shouldn't want her to be with her eldest cousin-
Together with this thought, Dou Shuwan set off a huge wave in her heart.
The eldest cousin is a good person, but she doesn't want to be a steproom, and more importantly, she doesn't see anything special in the eyes of the eldest cousin.
The eldest cousin looked at her, and even at any woman, no different from looking at a man.
Although she has no mother and her family is in decline, she doesn't want her husband to look at her like that until she is old.
Such a life, even if it is rich and rich, what is the fun.
Thinking of this, Dou Shuwan said with a smile: "I am the elder of the four girls, so I will naturally get along with the four girls, otherwise how can I be an elder." β
She didn't dare to show the meaning of refusal too obviously, if her aunt made it clear, then there would be no way out.
Dou Shuwan knows very well that no matter how reluctant she is, her current fate is held in the palm of her aunt's hand, and she can't make decisions for many reasons.
At this time, she suddenly envied Jiang.
When she came to Bofu, she heard many things about the four girls, and she didn't mention anything else, except that she envied the four girls for loving her father and brother so much.
Unlike her, her brother is unreliable and doesn't say anything, her aunt sent her to Jinsha to pick up people, and her father, who married another stepmother, almost couldn't wait to send her to the capital.
Dou Shuwan knows that she can't go back to that home in Jinsha in her life.
At this time, Jiang Qi, who was deeply envied by Dou Shuwan, was rushing to the palace by car.
It's already spring, it's still cold, and the wheels roll across the ground, making a dull creaking sound.
Ah Man opened the corner of the curtain and looked out.
"Girl, there are a lot of carriages outside."
"Many people enter the palace to participate in the plum banquet, and there are naturally many carriages."
Seeing that Jiang seemed to be leaning against the wall of the car and closing his eyes to recuperate, Ah Man couldn't help but say, "Girl, aren't you curious about what it's like in the palace?" I heard that the floor tiles are paved with gold. It's a pity that the maid can't go into the imperial garden with you, so you can only wait in the side hall of the inner city......"
Jiang seemed to be in a good mood when he listened to the little girl chirping in his ears.
"Fourth sisterβ" The young man said in an excited voice.
Ah Man hurriedly pushed Jiang Yi: "Girl, it's the second son." β
Jiang seemed to open his eyes and looked out.
Jiang Zhan ran over from nowhere, wearing Jin Wuwei's service, looking heroic.
"Fourth sister, are you nervous?" Rubbing his hands that were red from the cold, Jiang Zhan asked with a smile.
Jiang seemed to stuff the hand stove into Jiang Zhan's hand, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, second brother, go back to duty quickly, let people see that it's not good." β
Jiang Zhan looked at the small hand stove in his hand with a strange expression: "I'm a big man carrying this, and I'm going to laugh out my big teeth when I see it." β
He stuffed the hand stove back, reached into his arms and took out a paper bag and stuffed it to Jiang Yi: "Rose sugar, I heard that you will have good luck eating some sweetness." β
Taking the bag of rose candy, Jiang seemed to smile at Jiang Zhan: "Thank you, second brother, I will have good luck." β
She lowered the curtains of the carriage and the carriage continued on its way.
Jiang Zhanyu craned his neck to look.
"Brother Jiang, that's your sister?" A hand put on Jiang Zhan's shoulder.
Jiang Zhan glanced at his colleagues on duty and said, "It's my sister." β
The young guard smiled: "When I turn around, will I beg my parents to go to your mansion to propose marriage?" β
"Get out!" Jiang Zhan was not angry and glanced at his colleagues.
"What's the matter, is it possible that your sister can still be a princess." The young guard pursed his lips.
If it weren't for a glimpse, he had never seen such a beauty, he didn't have this mind, and Dongping Bofu was not a high-ranking family worthy of marriage.
Jiang Zhan walked back with a straight face: "In short, don't beat my sister's idea!" β
Now he feels more and more that these stinky boys who only look at their faces can't catch up with Yu Qige, and he has begun to look forward to the fourth sister and Yu Qige having a lover and finally becoming a family.
Ah Man was left at the entrance of the inner city, and Jiang seemed to be led to the plum garden by the inner attendant.
She didn't come early, and when she arrived at the Plum Garden, there were already many noble ladies there.
The appearance of Jiang like surprised all the nobles, and they quietly discussed in groups.
"Who is the new girl in the light green cloak, how come you have never seen it?" Obviously, Jiang's appearance has caused many noble girls to have a crisis.
"Ah, that's the fourth girl from Dongpingbo Mansion, I met at the flower party in Yongchang Bofu at the beginning of last year."
"Dongpingbo Mansion?" Hearing this origin, many noble ladies had disdain in their eyes.
Let's not talk about the status of Dongpingbo Mansion among the nobles in the capital, Dongpingbo Mansion has not been in the limelight recently, and it is still a shameful limelight.
How can such a girl come to such a flower banquet?
"I don't know if I checked the invitation, how can any cat or dog get in." A girl's voice suddenly sounded, stopping the whispering.
