I followed Miss Xue and Miss Xue to the screen where the ladies of the Xu family and Second Miss Jiang were either standing or sitting.

Fifth Miss Xue turned her head several times and wanted to say something to me, but due to the speed of her footsteps, she could only stagger after me.

I smiled at Miss Xue.

Although I was born in the Xue family, I was very fond of the lively and adorable Ning Lin, who was only seven years old.

If only she could stay at such an innocent age?

"Sister Rou!" Eldest Miss Xue moved closer to Second Miss Jiang and knelt down in greeting.

As Miss Xue and Miss Jiang were on good terms, it was only natural for Miss Xue to call her Rou'er, the second Miss, when she usually addressed Lady Jiang as Yan'er.

The disdain on Second Miss Jiang's face was not concealed at all. She slightly bent her knees and replied with a bow. She heavily enunciated: "Eldest Miss Xue!"

Miss Xue's face turned paler and paler. The handkerchief in her hand trembled slightly.

I was secretly surprised. The weird thing was not only Second Miss Jiang who had a drastic change in personality, but also Eldest Miss Xue who could not hold back her temper!

When I exposed her to my face back then, Miss Xue was still able to calmly judge the situation and laugh and laugh. How can such a person be angered by the tactful rejection of others?

However, now was not the time to ask such questions.

I suppressed the astonishment in my heart and walked up to introduce him to Miss Xue with a smile, "This is General Xu's family."

Because Grandmother did not tell me who the Xu family was, it was not good for me to speak too clearly.

However, the word 'General Xu' caused Second Miss Xu to look deeply at me.

This shy and restrained young lady had a clever mind!

I openly received Second Young Miss Xu's gaze and solemnly smiled at her.

Second Miss Xu, on the other hand, restrained her expression and lowered her head in thought.

Eldest Miss Xue pulled Fifth Miss Xue to pay her respects. Fifth Miss's big, rolling eyes, however, were focused on Third Miss Xu.

The two girls looked at each other and smiled.

Often the child can look at the problem from a simpler and more objective point of view, across the family's so-called intertwined interests.

I helped Miss Xue up and introduced her to the other ladies of the Xu family. "She is a lady from the Xue family in the capital."

All the young mistresses of the Xu family bent down in unison as they greeted with a smile, "Miss Xue!"

A polite and distant expression hung on the two older Miss Xu. It seemed that after Second Miss Jiang's introduction, she had already taken it for granted that she would have some opinions of Eldest Miss Xue.

I only hope that they will be safe and not cause any trouble.

All the young madams greeted him, and sat down at their tables. Second Young Miss Jiang was still surrounded by the young misses of the Xu family, continuing their conversation.

I had just exchanged a few words with Miss Xue when Second Miss Jiang suddenly stood up and shouted, "I want to change!"

The ladies were dumbfounded.

Usually, if a lady wanted to go to the toilet, she would only tell her personal servant girl in secret.

How could he say it so loudly in front of everyone?

"This is the first time that big sister Jiang Er has been to our house. It is likely that she doesn't know the way. I will accompany you for a walk. Sis, please take a seat!" I got up to explain the cover for her.

Others might not know why Second Young Miss Jiang is like this, but I know it all too well!

How could Second Miss Jiang want to go out of her way to show respect? She couldn't help but want to find a place to talk to me!

I turned my head to instruct Lan Li. "Go to the kitchen and bring some fresh fruits for the ladies, then change all the tea into jade-green spring. This Da Hong Pao is too bitter and doesn't suit the tastes of the ladies."

Lan Li replied and left.

Second Miss Xu's eyes flashed with a crafty light, as if to say, These little tricks of yours can't be hidden from me. Big Miss Xue at the side stared at me and Second Miss Jiang. She tightly pursed her lips and her face became bloodless. She tightly pulled Fifth Miss Xue as if that was the only thing she could rely on.

The two smart guys understood what we were doing, but we still had to do something with the show!

Smiling, I stood up and straightened my clothes. I took two steps back, bowed deeply and prepared to lead Second Miss Jiang out.

"Wait! I'll go with my sisters! " Eldest Miss Xu suddenly said, "I also want to go out for a walk!"

A trace of unhappiness flashed across Second Miss Jiang's face. She didn't want to bring her along, but she was unable to find a good excuse for a moment.

Second Miss Xu suddenly stood up and naughtily teased her, "Elder sister! [He went to the restroom. How can you be embarrassed when you go to Jiang Er xiaojie?] The feast is about to start. Grandmother can't do it without us! "

She winked at her sister.

Even a fool would understand now!

Young Lady Xu took a step back and sat back on her pear wood chair. With an apologetic smile, she said, "I was careless. Sisters, let's go!"

The young mistresses of the Xu family were truly mischievous!

Logically speaking, the eldest daughter of a family would receive the most diligent upbringing in the entire family. Obviously, the same was true for the Xu family. Each of Lady Xu's actions was graceful, with just a smile and a curtsy, showing the reserved and pampered attitude of a noble woman. However, her mind was dull and lacking in spirituality. As for Second Miss Xu, she was slim, had a pretty face and was extremely intelligent. However, she happened to be the secondary daughter of the Xu family and did not receive the attention she deserved.

Smart people were usually proud, but was Second Miss Xu's submissiveness another form of bearing the shame?

I couldn't help but wonder if the intimacy the Xu sisters had with each other was due to the relationship they had grown up together, or if they each had their own needs.

Xu Sanguan continued to tug at the Second Miss' skirt as if she had something to say. Second Miss Xu quickly squatted down and hugged her to listen to her. Eldest Miss Xu also moved closer to look at her little sisters with an expression of fraternity.

"You stay here. If they need anything, you can arrange it for them."

The green bandit nodded in agreement and warned me in a low voice, "Please be careful, miss."

I nodded and led Second Miss Jiang out the door. In the end, I only saw Eldest Miss Xue glaring at the two of us with anger and hatred.

Just as she walked out of her grandmother's yard, Second Miss Jiang said: "She is really shameless! You still dare to show off after this! "

I didn't expect Second Miss Jiang to say such outrageous words, so I quickly made a gesture of silence towards her.

Second Miss Jiang kept her mouth shut with a sullen look on her face.

Second Miss Jiang and I turned left and right before entering Xiao Zhu Xuan.

This Xiao Zhu Xuan was a house behind his grandmother's courtyard. The house had a thatched roof, a bamboo fence, and a small pond in the courtyard. The entire courtyard was quiet and elegant, but there was also a hint of wildness in it. It was his father's study in his grandmother's house, where he would sometimes stay when he was resting in her courtyard.

Now that his father was waiting on a guest at the outer court, he naturally wouldn't come here.

When Second Miss Jiang saw this house, she sat casually on the reclining chair next to the window. She pursed her lips and teased, "How come your family also learned to fish for fame and get this much work?"

I pursed my lips and smiled. "People always say that my father is a literary merchant!"

"How can you believe that?" Second Miss Jiang glared at me.

I found a little bamboo stool and sat in front of her.

The bamboo curtain tilted, and the mother who usually looked at the courtyard fawningly brought in a large tea tray made out of Xiang Fei bamboo. On the teapot were two golden fish carved on top of the green mud, one big and one small, the little fish chasing after the big fish's tail, the big fish chasing the little fish's tail, it was quite wild and interesting.

"This teapot is quite interesting!" Second Miss Jiang had her sharp eyes set on her father's teapot.

"You can put it down and go out." Young miss Jiang is not feeling well, let me accompany her for a seat! "

Since he was able to become the mother of the head steward, he naturally wouldn't be unable to read her eyes. When the old woman heard my words, she knew that I was just looking for a place to talk to Second Miss Jiang. Smiling in agreement, he placed the tea tray on a small root carving chair to the side and brewed a cup of tea for each of us. After greeting him with a smile, he was about to leave.

"Thank you, mother!" I took a tael of silver from my bosom and gave it to the woman.

That old woman smiled as she accepted it. She said, "Miss, please rest first. I will inform Miss when the banquet begins." After that, he quietly retreated.

I smiled to myself. It was at least two hours away from the start of the meal.

I extended my hand to bring a cup of fragrant tea to Second Young Miss Jiang as I smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, please say it! I still have to wait for guests! "

Second Miss Jiang propped herself up from the reclining chair and accepted the teacup in my hand. After taking a sip, she opened her mouth.

"My mother has recently started to kiss my elder sister. The young miss of the Xue family is one year older than my elder sister, so naturally, she is already at the age to do so. "My mother was still muttering about what kind of family Big Miss Xue would talk about, but who would have known that she never thought of properly finding a wife for her daughter? Instead, she thought of sending her daughter to the palace!"

After saying that, Second Miss Jiang paused for a moment before raising her head to look at me.

That's what I already knew, and now I've just heard her tell it again.

I nodded to her to go on.

Second Miss Jiang turned pale with fright as she stammered, "Why aren't you surprised at all?" "Could it be that you already knew?"

"No," I said quickly. No! Miss Xue came from a noble family, her mother was from the Qin family, and the Xue family was a great family that enjoyed their poetry, literature, and etiquette. Moreover, Miss Xue was beautiful, dignified, and highly regarded by the family. I have long guessed that the Xue Clan held high hopes for her, and now that you mention it, although I am a little shocked, it is within reason. "

Second Miss Jiang patted her chest and said with a smile, "I was just saying why you weren't surprised at all! My mother only found out about it after some investigation! "

Then he mocked, "What does she have a noble background? The Qin family is old! "Their Xue Clan is only a bunch of yellow flowers from yesterday. So what if they want to be as tyrannical as the previous dynasty?"

This tone was truly mean!

I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows. With such harsh words, how did the Xue Clan offend this Second Miss Jiang in front of me?

If that was the case, it would be a woman's disgrace to say that it was too small. If it was too big, it would be a presumptuous discussion about the imperial government!

I hurriedly led Second Miss Jiang back. "Then why did Miss Xue come to attend today's banquet? Shouldn't she be learning the rules at home? "

Second Miss Jiang gave a cold snort. She placed the teacup heavily on the table and said with great hatred: "She did!"

Then, as if venting his anger, his mouth curved into a smile.
