Although I don't know the real reason, Princess Wei's affection for her is not fake.
The two talked about their own things in Songtao Garden for a while, seeing that the time was almost up, Chu Lian took Princess Duanjia to celebrate the old lady's Qingwei Hall together.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of Qingyu Hall, I heard the voice of Yingying Yanyan inside.
Princess Duanjia glanced inside curiously, pulled La Chulian's sleeve and asked, "There seem to be many young girls inside."
Chu Lian's eyes were sly, she covered her mouth and smiled, "Princess, didn't you meet the second elder brother today? Grandmother is probably taking this opportunity to match him with a girl from his family!"
ah
He Changjue wants a girl
I don't know why, Princess Duanjia didn't feel very happy when she heard the news.
Chu Lian thought Princess Duanjia didn't know the reason, so he explained it to her. "Princess, you don't know that the second brother doesn't go home easily on weekdays, even if the grandmother can't help him, but as the son of Jing'an Bofu, he can't stay married forever, so I used my mother's birthday to call more friends. Several aristocratic families brought their daughters over."
He Changjue is now in his late twenties, and an unmarried man at this age is considered an older leftover man in Shengjing City.
It's just that the prestige of Jing'an Bo Mansion is high, and the family status is also high-class, and He Changjue is already working in Longwei, so there is nothing to say about his character and appearance. Even if he is a little older, there are still many wives from aristocratic families staring .
So there are actually quite a few ladies and ladies who came today.
Later, when I was waiting to celebrate Mrs. Jing'an's birthday, let these delicate ladies meet He Erlang.
Princess Duanjia had also heard about the second son of the He family, but at that time the two had never met each other, so they took it as a joke when they heard such a strange thing, and now Chu Lian teased it face to face , I suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Is He Erlang really going to choose a wife
Chu Lian dragged Princess Duanjia into the courtyard and headed for the greenhouse.
Chu Lian was originally married into the Jing'an Mansion because of the "strange" reputation of the girl from the British Duke's Mansion. Later, she made a splash in the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion, and was immediately named the Lord of Jinyi Township by the Holy One. There are more Guilinju who make money every day.
One of these things could have been talked about for a long time, but now it all happened to one person, and one after another, the group of ladies and ladies who surrounded Mrs. He , I have long wanted to meet this Jinyixiang gentleman who seems to be hanging out after marriage.
This girl used to be an insignificant lady in the boudoir of a third-rate family, so she seemed to be a dazzling light source in a blink of an eye, and she couldn't be ignored.
When Chu Lian and Princess Duanjia appeared in the Nuan Pavilion, everyone's eyes fell on them at the same time.
The figures of Chu Lian and Princess Duanjia are very similar, but the clothes are different, but the two small faces are both pure and beautiful. If it weren't for the difference in hair bun and clothes, this group of people would still be quite different. I really can't tell who is Princess Duanjia and who is the third grandma of Jing'anbo Mansion.
Everyone was slightly surprised to see Chu Lian wearing a long dress with a silver powder embroidered blessing and longevity pattern.
Everyone never imagined that Lord Jin Yixiang, who had evolved into nine heads and six arms in their hearts, turned out to be like this.
Look at that immature face with some baby fat on it, the face is delicate and tender, as if it can make people pinch water. There is only a little bit of peach-colored rouge on the pink lips, and the corners of the mouth are naturally slightly raised. Even the most ordinary expression seems to be smiling at someone. The most surprising thing is that Almond eyes.
The water is moist and clear, as if it can reflect everything clearly.
There was an elderly wife who supported her forehead, and some couldn't accept the huge gap with expectations. This... the Jinyi Xiangjun who is said to be so powerful is nothing more than a cute and cute little girl!
After Chu Lian saluted, she was very puzzled. She tilted her head and the corners of her eyes twitched. Why did she feel that the ladies and ladies around her looked at her strangely.
Princess Duanjia's identity is not like that of an ordinary princess in Beijing, and now that Chu Lian is by her side, the ladies who came to the birthday banquet naturally rushed to find Chu Lian to talk to Princess Duanjia.
In addition to Chu Lian's small yard specially rented out to rich people behind Guilin Residence, those who want to eat have to ask about the reservation status of that small courtyard, hoping to use this opportunity to make Chu Lian sell a favor.
Nowadays, regardless of whether it is a female family member or a male guest in the upper circles of Shengjing, as long as they can treat them to a meal at Guilin Ju, it will be more impressive than treating guests at Yuehonglou.
The wives and ladies all surrounded the two of them, and the center of the topic also faintly turned towards them, causing Zou's face, who was being held up by everyone, to distort for a while.
Mrs. He, however, is very happy. Prince Wei's House does not participate in the government, and is the brother of the Holy Majesty. Now Princess Duanjia has a good relationship with his third grandson, which also means that the House of Uncle Jing'an has a good relationship with King Wei's House. But a great thing.
Saburo's daughter-in-law looks lazy, but she always does what she wants.
So I saw a room full of people surrounding the two young girls, and the old lady didn't stop them either.
Mrs. Zou wanted to draw everyone's attention back, but she didn't dare to make a fuss in front of Mrs. He, so she could only grit her teeth and endure, but Wei Wei looked at Chu Lian with jealousy and disgust.
But this situation didn't last long, Mrs. He saw that it was almost time, so she took everyone to Mrs. Jing'an's yard.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw the eldest son He Changqi and Erlang He Changjue.
Everyone knew it well in their hearts, and the eyes of all the wives and noble ladies who entered the flower hall swept towards the direction of the two of them as if nothing.
Princess Duanjia walked beside Chu Lian, turned her head slightly and glanced in He Erlang's direction, but saw this big man with his head slightly lowered, without even raising his eyes, like a statue.
Princess Duanjia's eyes showed a trace of satisfaction that she didn't realize.
Mrs. Jing'an has already changed into a festive crimson dress, with a bijia trimmed with red fox fur on the outside. She wore a turquoise forehead and lightly applied powder, which made her sickness go away by seven points, and the generous dress in winter covered her thinness again. Looking at it this way, she is no different from a healthy lady.
The wives and ladies who attended the birthday banquet came up one by one to congratulate Mrs. Jing Anbo on her birthday and presented congratulatory gifts.
Knowing that Mrs. Jing Anbo's body will not last long, everyone is acquainted with the family, everyone is very knowledgeable, and the steps of celebrating the birthday gift go very quickly.
At the end, it will be the turn of the two daughter-in-laws in the family to celebrate their birthdays.
The elder sister-in-law Zou brought out a 100-year-old ginseng, which surprised everyone.
Mrs. Jing'an took Zou's hand and patted it, "Let Dalang's wife spend money!"
"Mother, as long as you are in good health, let alone just a ginseng, it will be enough for your daughter-in-law to eat fast and chant Buddha in the Buddhist hall for three months."
Mrs. Jing Anbo smiled and blamed her for ruining her body.
The noble ladies sitting next to the old lady and Mrs. Jing'an repeatedly praised Mrs. Zou for his filial piety.
Zou lowered her head slightly, she seemed embarrassed, but in fact she felt more at ease now than anyone else.
This century-old ginseng did cost her hundreds of taels of silver, and she felt a little distressed at first, but now that she has gained face in front of everyone, she feels that the money is worth it.
Complacent, Zou couldn't help but cast her eyes on Chu Lian, with a trace of provocation and gloating in her eyes.
With her ginseng at the beginning, if Chu Lian brought out something that was too poor, she would lose face completely. She wanted to see how the third younger sibling who usually "professed to be smart" would deal with it.
Chu Lian was talking in a low voice to Princess Duanjia next to her, and she didn't pay attention to the resentful eyes of her sister-in-law Zou Shi.
Seeing that it was her turn, she took the brocade box held by Wenqing behind her and presented it to Mrs. Jing Anbo.
"Mother, this set is a congratulatory gift for my daughter-in-law. I hope my mother will like it."
Jewelry
ha
Would the dignified Mrs. Jing Anbo lack such a set of jewelry? It seems that her three siblings are not as smart as she imagined.
Mrs. Jing'an didn't have any other expressions on her face, she accepted Chu Lian's congratulatory gift with a smile, and said kindly: "Sanlang's daughter-in-law, I need you to worry too!"
Chu Lian was already young, if Mrs. He didn't want to have a grandson, maybe she would stay at home for two years at her age!
After entering the door, He Sanlang had a weird attitude. He didn't stay at home for a few days after the wedding, and ran away to the north without making a sound. Not only did her little daughter-in-law not cry or make trouble, but she was kind and charming, and she did not resent the Jing'an House and alienate her family because of this.
Madam Jing'an already felt guilty, but seeing that she was young, she was naturally more tolerant towards Chu Lian.
It doesn't matter what the gift is, as long as it is enough.
Chu Lian didn't even think about being in the limelight, and when she was about to turn around and retreat to her seat, Zou hurriedly made a show of flirting with a young woman beside her.
The lady took a step forward, and said with a charming smile: "I really don't know what kind of jewelry Jinyi Township Lord sent, it can't be a gift from the palace, if Madam Jing'an doesn't mind, I don't know if you can give it to us Open your eyes, everyone?"
Sure enough, when it came to the head jewelry, the ladies and ladies were all interested, and when someone stretched out their heads, they all booed to see the congratulatory gift from Chu Lian.
Mrs. Jing'an didn't want to open it on the spot. She also thought that the gift from the young daughter-in-law was mediocre, and was hesitating when Zou's eyes rolled.
"Mother, the third sibling is showing filial piety, won't you let the big guy see it?"
Mrs. Jing'an was a little embarrassed to come down from the stage, she looked at Chu Lian apologetically, and then asked her maid Miao Zhen to open the jewelry box that Chu Lian had given her.
Princess Duanjia looked down on such a small family like Zou Shi the most, and rolled her eyes at her without showing any face on the spot.
Mrs. Zou turned her head and met Princess Duanjia's eyes just in time, her face turned red and white, and she was almost taken away by anger.
