Chapter 383: Lord Zhongyi’s Birthday
Chapter 383: Lord Zhongyi’s Birthday
"My aunt asked me to go to the General's Mansion a few days ago, but I turned her down. I guess it's because of this matter. Oh my..." Zhao Keke seemed a little flustered.
It's no wonder. After all, the Loyalty Earl's Mansion is different from the usual Zhao Mansion. When interacting with people, no matter how deep or shallow, you can't make mistakes.
"You will be able to do it in the future. I will teach you all of this in the future. Learn from your aunt-in-law in the next two days." Wen Jiu looked at her
"Ah? Me? Forget it." Zhao Keke suddenly felt disappointed.
"Why forget it? You are the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion. What does it matter if you are in the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future? We run our own small family like this, and you... don't want to learn? Otherwise, I can learn it. Anyway, I won't be an official in the future."
Is your brother anxious?
Could it be that Coco said something to him? Wen Jiu quietly left.
"Ah? No, do you know what you are talking about? We... um..." Wen Xi blocked Zhao Keke's mouth with her mouth.
Wow, brother is pretty fierce
"I don't care if you have someone else in your heart. I say it again, I don't care, but I want you to be by my side. Just stay by my side."
Wen Jiu was listening at the door. This sounded familiar.
"Stay by your side? You were not used to it when I was away, right? You are used to me following you."
"Keke, I like you. I only realized it after you left. I know that belated affection is cheaper than grass. Give me a chance, okay? I don't know why you are hurt, and I dare not ask. At the same time, I feel useless. My sister always gets hurt, and now you are hurt and I don't know... I... I'm afraid you all think I'm useless." Wen Xi looked like a pitiful puppy, with her beautiful eyes filled with crystal clear tears.
"I... don't cry, I don't think you are useless, I... don't you love her anymore?" Zhao Keke wiped his tears helplessly
"Was it not obvious enough that I refused you last time at my father-in-law's house?" Wen Xi grabbed her hand, put it on his lips and kissed it. Zhao Keke's face flushed.
"you……"
"I'm afraid that if I don't tell you, you will leave me after my father-in-law's birthday. You left for a few days this time saying you were going to see the caravan, but what about next time? Will you just choose to leave me next time?"
"You and your sister are the most important people to me. You and your sister are indispensable. I will work hard to earn money to support the family. If you don't want to learn, I will go, okay?" Wen Xi held her hand and looked down at her.
"What kind of man would learn those things? I will think about it carefully." Zhao Keke originally wanted to teach him a lesson, but time flies, so we should cherish the present moment.
So she said, "You are my only childhood sweetheart from beginning to end."
……
Wen Xi was stunned. If you say so,
"Little fatty?" Wen Xi's eyes lit up and he hugged her in surprise.
"It's you, right?"
"It's me, Brother Wen Xi, I'm back, I've been back a long time ago." Zhao Keke smiled but tears flowed down her face
Wen Xi hugged her
Wen Jiu finished eavesdropping and thought to himself, no wonder, Keke had set her eyes on her brother a long time ago. It seems that all the misunderstandings between the two have been resolved. It really depends on them from now on. So she turned around and left.
Turning back to the birthday of the Loyal Earl, after warming the wine and packing up, the old lady called
"Be good, grandma will go with you."
"Grandma, you are the elder. If you die, Lord Zhongyi..." Wenjiu wanted her to stay in the mansion. After all, her health was not well yet and she could only sit in a wheelchair. Wenjiu felt distressed.
"Since we are relatives, it would be a shame to let anyone down. I know that we are in the northwest, and Lord Zhongyi has sent people to deliver food and medicine many times. This is a life-saving grace. I am also a big man, so I have to go. Your grandfather has packed everything long ago." The old lady's eyes were full of love.
"Okay, then the wine will push you, you are the most loving old lady" Wen Jiu's eyes were full of smiles
"When Chuan'er and his wife come back, I will be the happiest old lady in the world." The old lady chuckled.
Others should also follow
All the staff of the General's Mansion, except Su Luobai who was on duty, went to the banquet.
The busy streets are particularly crowded today. As the emperor's in-laws, the Prime Minister's Mansion directly appointed Prime Minister Wen as a man who knows the current affairs. The meaning is obvious. To win over the Loyalty Earl's Mansion is a big money bag.
And everyone had their own thoughts in mind, and they entered the Loyalty Earl's Mansion like a stream of fish.
This caught the Earl of Loyalty by surprise. Many people did not invite him, but since he was a guest, he could not drive him away, so he had to invite him into the mansion.
Most people still see that the Loyal Earl has stood firm among the new nobles, so they come up to curry favor with him.
"Old General, Old Madam, why are you here? Please come in quickly. Cheng Yin, you stay here to receive them." Earl Zhongyi personally invited everyone into the courtyard.
"Today is your birthday. Although my daughter-in-law is here to help, it would be inappropriate for a relative not to come," the old general said, with his hands behind his back.
"Old General, please don't embarrass the younger generation. Please come in." The Earl of Loyalty was leading them in when the congratulations from Prince Xiao's Mansion came from behind.
Wen Jiu pushed the old lady into the inner courtyard and saw Zhao Keke busy taking care of the daughters of various families, while Wen Xi was chatting with the male guests.
"Grandma and Grandpa, you are here." Zhao Keke saw them and apologized to the daughters of each family.
"Not bad, take your time," the old lady admired
"Jiujiu, let me push it." Zhao Keke took the wheelchair from Wenjiu, and Wenjiu smiled and let go of her hand.
"Grandpa and grandma, please have some tea to warm yourself up." Zhao Keke poured the tea obediently.
The two old people started drinking and asked her to go and do her work first, so as not to lose courtesy. Zhao Keke obediently left.
Everything went smoothly until the dinner. When everyone gathered together and the old lady sitting at the head of the female guests felt a little tired and was about to leave, the performance began.
Most of the girls came with their parents to see if they could be favored by the son of the first imperial merchant.
There are endless programs. What can women say in groups of three or five? It's nothing more than gossiping about other people's affairs. Even the most educated people can't escape this.
Xiao Qing'er was already pregnant and about to give birth, but she still came. Unfortunately, she sat in the same seat as the old lady today.
"The Imperial Aunt is back, I still have time to congratulate her, I hope the Imperial Aunt won't blame me for anything else."
"Seventh Princess, you are pregnant, how could I not know? When you give birth to a baby boy, Jue'er will be happy to come, which will be a great honor to the Empress Aunt."
"Oh? It's only been a short time since the prince got divorced, and he has already found a new partner. It's really fast." Xiao Qing'er's eyes were full of contempt.
"Yes, I will host a banquet for all the guests. Miaomiao is very pleasing to my eyes. She is filial and always willing to help me. She is very well behaved." Princess Xiao praised Bai Miaomiao generously, which made her shy.
"Oh, it turns out it was really her. No wonder the prince always treats Princess An Ning like that."
"No wonder Princess An Ning was determined to divorce her at all costs. In the end, Princess An Ning made the wrong choice."
Everyone was talking at once, and the old lady's mood was fluctuating greatly.
"Grandma, am I the one who suffers? Just listen to their nonsense. I have told you from the beginning. Why bother to get angry with them?" Wen Jiu comforted the old lady because she felt something was wrong.
"Well, fate comes and goes. I can only say that the relationship between me and Princess An Ning is too shallow." Princess Xiao smiled gently in response.
"Yes, this princess is unlucky." Wen Jiu responded with a smile, cursing in his heart, why bother involving his ex in such a day
"Yes, everyone knows that the prince has never cared about An Ning. An Ning just did what she should do. She will be rich and powerful in the future and will be happier than the person she stole. This princess will find the best man in the world to go with my wine." Feng Yang did not hide her partiality for Wen Jiu at all.
"But Princess An Ning may not have such intentions." Bai Miaomiao was doted on by Princess Xiao and she didn't know how high the heaven was.
