After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jiang Qi sent an invitation to Yuchen and Yuxi, inviting them to attend her birthday banquet. After Yuxi heard the news, he looked at him and said to Zisu: "Follow me to Tingyun Pavilion." Since she was inviting her and Yuchen to go, she naturally wanted to ask Yuchen's opinion first. If Yuchen is willing to go, she will follow, and if Yuchen does not go, she will be boring.
Yuxi wanted to go to Jiang's house with Yuchen, because he wanted to see if Jiang Hongjin was as she had guessed, and he was thinking about Yuchen.
Yuchen knew that the Jiang family invited her to invite her without even thinking about it, and said directly: "We have only met Jiang family girl once at the princess's mansion, and the friendship is not deep, so let someone prepare a gift and send it away. "There is no need to go there in person.
Yuxi roughly guessed such a result, and Yuchen would not accept invitations that didn't have enough weight. Yuxi smiled and said, "If the third sister doesn't go, then I won't go either."
Seeing Yuxi's appearance, Yuchen thought for a while and said, "Ms. Jiang, she has a sweet face and a bitter face. Don't have a deep friendship." All those words Jiang Qi said at the time were all provoking her relationship with Yuxi. Fortunately, she has a deep relationship with Yuxi, and Yuxi is also a forgiving one, and it is not something others can instigate.
Yuxi opened her mouth and asked, "How did the third sister see that the Jiang family is a sweet-hearted host?" Yuchen was also too powerful, and she could see through Jiang Qi's essence at once.
Yuchen didn't explain, but said: "You just remember that this person shouldn't have a close friendship."
Yuxi wisely stopped continuing this topic.
After Yuxi was sent away, Grandma Gui said, "Girl, the Jiang family has bad intentions. It's impossible for the four girls to fail to see it."
Yuchen stood up, looked at Grandma Gui, and asked, "What does Grandma want to say?"
Mother Gui did not fear Yuchen, and said: "Girl, the fourth girl is not as gentle and harmless as you think. Girl, don't be fooled by the appearance of the fourth girl."
Yuchen said with a faint expression: "Mother thinks, am I such a person who can be fooled and deceived at will?"
Mother Gui was speechless for a moment: "I am also good for the girl."
After hearing this, Yuchen calmed down a bit, and said, "I know what you are worried about, mother, you have been worried. Yuxi has a plan, but she has a good heart, even if she has a plan, she never She has taken the initiative to do harm to others. In these years, she hasn't done anything. On the contrary, when there are difficulties around her, she will reach out to the top." In order to gain a good reputation, Yuxi helped many maids.
In fact, when Yuchen was apprenticeship, she knew that Yuxi was very scheming, but she didn't reject Yuxi for this. The reason is simple, if Yuxi is so pure and harmless in this mansion, how can he live so well. But as long as the heart is righteous, it won't hurt people, and it doesn't matter if you can make a calculation. Mother Gui couldn't agree with Yuchen's words, but she also knew what Yuchen's bottom line was. Don't look at Yuchen's usual speaking skills, once she crosses her bottom line, no matter who it is, she won't give face.
The Jiang family’s banquet went with the Lord Shou County. I didn't see Yuchen and Yuxi at the banquet, and asked with a smile, "Didn't Sister Jiang send an invitation to the two girls from the Han family?"
There was disappointment in Jiang Qi's eyes: "Sister Han and the others didn't come." From the response of the Han family, it was obvious that they did not intend to have a deep friendship with her.
The host of Heshou County changed the subject with a smile, and said, "Your second brother passed the child test at the beginning of the year. Are you planning to participate in the township test?"
Jiang Qi shook his head and said, "My father said that my second brother is too young, and he has to grind again, and wait until next time to participate in the rural test."
The host of Heshou county smiled and said, "What about your eldest brother?" The host of Heshou county also asked him to check the Jiang family after the last banquet. It was also at that time that she knew that Jiang Hongfu, the eldest master of the Jiang family, was not dead. This would happen to be studying in her hometown! She remembered clearly that Jiang Hongfu had an accident when he was nine years old.
Is this the Lord Heshou particularly clear, or is it because Jiang Hongjin is so famous. The youngest scholar in the Zhou Dynasty, few people didn't know her situation. It is strange that people who should have died are still alive now.
The owner of Heshou County asked for further investigation and found that Jiang Hongfu did have an accident a few years ago, but he was lucky to escape at that time. The host of Heshou County didn't believe that Jiang Hongfu had such a coincidence in the world. She instinctively suspected that it was Yuxi's handwriting, but because the matter had passed for so long, no useful information could be found. This is also Yuxi's luck. Jiang Wenrui helped deal with the aftermath of that incident, and all traces of it were cleaned up. As for the man in gray who appeared, apart from Jiang Hongfu, no one knew that there was such a person.
Jiang Qi had a meal with the juice in his hand, and then smiled and said, "My eldest brother will end this year." If you say who Jiang Qi hates the most, Jiang Hongfu is definitely one of them. Five years ago, her father and mother were very affectionate, but since her eldest brother returned to his hometown that year by accident, her father has been cold towards her mother, and also indifferent to her and second brother.
Jiang Qi hated it in his heart. It was obviously an accident, but her elder brother insisted that it was her mother who was going to kill her. This caused the relationship between her father and mother to deteriorate, but he patted his butt and went back to his hometown. Smoothly, they are in dire straits every day.
Heshou County Lord looked at Jiang Qi's appearance and found it interesting: "I heard that your eldest brother has worshipped the head of the Baitan Academy as a teacher since he was a child. Why hasn't he been in Jiangnan for the past five years without returning to Beijing?"
Yu Xiyu saw that her cousin was almost unable to hold it, and smiled and said, "Sister Qi's grandfather and grandmother are in Jiangnan, and her elder brother stays in Jiangnan to accompany his grandparents, and she is also doing her filial piety for her uncle."
He smiled lightly with the Lord Shou County, and didn't insist on this topic anymore.
Jiang Hongjin was in the front yard and asked the concierge: "Are all the guests here for the banquet today?" Jiang Hongjin was still very measured, and did not ask the Han girl specifically to prevent people from seeing his purpose.
The concierge thought for a while and said, "None of the Han, Jiang, and Sun families came, but they gave the girl gifts."
Jiang Hongjin was a little disappointed, he still wanted to see that girl! It seems that it won't be made today.
The days are not hurried, wait for it, and it’s the end of September in a blink of an eye. Yuxi’s birthday is September 29, and the Qiu family is going to hold a birthday banquet for Yuxi.
Yuxi shook his head and said, "Forget it, on the day of my birthday, just invite a few friends to attend. It would be tiring to invite so many people to entertain."
The Qiu clan thought for a moment and said, "Forget it this time, but you can't avoid it again next year." After a pause, the Qiu clan said, "I'll be a housekeeper from the end of the year."
Yuxi opened her mouth: "Auntie, it's too early, isn't it? I'm relatively busy now, can I talk about it two years later."
The Qiu family didn’t give Yuxi the chance to avoid it: “You learn from me as a housekeeper every morning, and you are at your disposal in the afternoon.” Seeing what Yuxi had to say, the Qiu family said: "Not only you have to follow, but Yuchen also has to learn together. ?"
Yuxi hurriedly asked, "Where are the eldest sister and the second elder sister?"
Qiu said: "Together."
Now Yuxi knew why she was asked to follow the housekeeper, and said with a smile: "Catch one sheep and catch four sheep. Isn’t the big aunt to save trouble?" She didn’t learn the housekeeper before, this time she said with a smile. Learn carefully.
Qiu's poked Yuxi's forehead, and said with a smile, "It's silly to compare yourself to a sheep."
Ye's came into the room and watched Qiu's arms around Yuxi, joking. Ye's respectfully bowed, and called out: "Mother."
The Qiu family smiled and nodded, and said what she had just said with Yuxi: "The girls are all grown up, and it's time to learn how to do housework. You can arrange this."
Ye's immediately agreed.
Yuxi hurriedly thanked: "I will trouble my sister-in-law in the future."
Ye's always wanted to have a good relationship with Yuxi, but Yuxi has always been polite to her: "It will be the fourth sister's birthday in a few days, how will the fourth sister live?"
Yuxi talked about his thoughts.
Ye's was a little surprised. In the past years, Yuchen and Yuxi's birthdays weren't taken care of because the two were going to school, and Mr. Song would not take a vacation because of their birthdays. But this year there is no longer any need to study with Mr. Song, and Yuchen invited a girl from relatives and friends to participate when she was celebrating her birthday. Ye's thought that Yuxi would be like Yuchen and would invite many people.
Yuxi saw Ye's thoughts and said with a smile: "I don't have many friends." As for relatives, she is not familiar with the relatives of the Han family. As for the outside family, all of her outside family have reincarnated and reincarnated.
Speaking of Pingqing Hou Mansion is also her foreign family, but she is not willing to have a relationship with Pingqing Hou Mansion. She would take advantage of some advantages, such as taking advantage of Yuchen's advantage, she would not have the slightest burden, because Yuchen had good morals, she would not care. But there are some advantages that can't be taken. For example, if the Pingqing Hou Mansion takes advantage of them, then they will have to pay you ten times a hundred times.
Seeing that Yuxi was still indifferent to her, Ye's couldn't help but say to her nanny Hua, "What do you mean by the four girls?" She frequently confessed that the four girls would not answer, even if there was any malice. Not really. As far as she knows, the four girls not only did not say bad things about her in front of her mother-in-law, but helped her to say a lot of good things. But the four girls had always been cold and indifferent to her, and didn't like her very much, which made Ye's clueless of Yuxi's pulse.
Madam Hua also failed to understand: "It doesn't matter how the four girls think, as long as she has no malice towards the master, it is enough."
Ye's couldn't think of a reason, so he just let it go.
The old lady had no objection to the few girls whom Yuxi only invited from the Zhou family and Duan Xinrong, but Yuchen disagreed.
Yuchen said: "Four sisters, it's your 11th birthday, so it's too crude. If you are afraid of being entertained, there are still my eldest sister and second sister!" There are many sisters, you can see at this moment.了benefits.
Yuxi said, "It won't be too late to wait until next year! Third sister, this time you will just follow me!" She just wanted to spend more quiet days, and didn't want to toss.
Yuchen looked a little funny at Yuxi, and said, "This time, I won't be an example." In fact, there are usually many people in the family who will invite many people to participate. It is not really for birthdays, but more to communicate and broaden interpersonal relationships.
Yuxi really doesn't have many friends, only Duan Xinrong and Zhou Shiya are close. Yuxi's point of view is that there are not many friends. However, Guo Gongfu and Zhou's family are relatives. If she invites Zhou Shiya alone, she will not only offend others, but also make it difficult for Zhou Shiya to do: "Except for Zhou's cousins, I only invite Xinrong sister."
Yuchen glanced at Yuxi, saw that she didn't respond, and let go of her heart's intentions: "This time I'll let you be the master, and you can't do this again next time." Yuchen has always wanted Yuxi to be with her family. Close, but Yuxi is very resistant and doesn't like going to Jiang's house much. I have never wanted to go to Jiang's house with her all these years.
