"Screech!" This must be our young miss! " The lady had her back to me as she chatted with the ladies in front of me. However, she was the first to notice me and Second Miss Jiang enter the room.

I quickly pulled Second Miss Jiang forward.

Madame Jiang scolded Second Young Miss Jiang as soon as she came up, "Why are you running around with nothing better to do? And pulling your Yang family's little sister! "

The mother pulled at Madame Jiang with a smile. "About the children! Let them be happy! "

Actually, Madame Jiang didn't want to reprimand her daughter, she just wanted to find a way out.

I hastily explained, "I was the one who said that the spring flowers in our courtyard had bloomed. I was the one who pulled big sister over to have a look!"

After hearing what I had to say, Madame Jiang's expression was very pleasant. She smiled and said, "You two misses are pretty good!"

Second Miss Jiang pursed her lips and smiled. Surprisingly, she was not the least bit displeased by her mother's scolding.

My mother smiled and introduced me to the lady in the pink thimble. "This is Mrs. Wen!"

So she was a woman from the Wen family!

The Wen family and the Yang family are the two great families in White City. Our Yang family is in the tea cloth business, while the Wen family is mainly in the grain, salt and oil business. If one said that what we earn is the profits of clothing, then what the Wen family earns is the fortune of eating and drinking! It had to be known that the common people ate like the heavens! The Wen family was from the same line as the government, so their earnings in recent years could be said to be plentiful!

However, the extremes of things are always reversed, and it was common for people to overflow when they were filled with water. Although the Wen family was wealthy, their children were thin. In this generation, only Master Wen was left as the direct descendant of the Wen family, and he was a male. It was easy for him to take over the family head position. His knees were empty as well, with only one young lady coming out of the main hall.

I couldn't help but take a good look at the Mrs. Wen in front of me.

A pair of red phoenix eyes hung below the willow leaf eyebrows, even though it was gorgeous, it was hard to conceal its sharpness. Under the tall nose was a cherry shaped small mouth, its rouge reflecting a clear red under the sun's rays.

Beautiful was beautiful, but its aura was too strong, causing people to feel a bit stifled.

"Aunt Wen!" I stepped forward and bowed.

Second Miss Jiang knelt down beside me and called out: "Madam Wen!"

Since they had the same amount of money and everything they did was related to the livelihood of the common people, it was only natural that they would not lower their heads. Mrs. Wen came to her grandmother's party today, which was a kind of friendship between the two families. It was always right to call her Aunt.

As the Jiang family was the Shangguan family, it was very appropriate for Second Young Miss Jiang to address them as "Madam Wen"!

Mrs. Wen responded with a smile. She took my hand and said to my mother, "Look at how clumsy you are! "I gave birth to a clever girl!"

His mother laughed and said, "Of course, of course!"

Mrs. Wen used her handkerchief to cover her mouth as she pulled Lady Jiang's hand and laughed, "Look at how arrogant she is!" "Who doesn't know that she has a good daughter?!"

Lady Jiang also smiled and said, "You're still making fun of him. I wonder who it was that came in the form of 'our sister' and 'our sister'!"

When Lady Wen heard this, she chuckled and took off a pure jade bracelet made of ice from her wrist. From her waist, she took out a thick and warm piece of jade. He placed the bracelet in my hand and passed the jade tablet to Second Miss Jiang. With a warm smile on his face, he said, "Auntie, you have a little kindness on your mind. Don't decline!

I looked at my mother.

The bracelet was warm to the touch and felt like a lump of ice that had just been picked from a snowy mountain. It was crystal clear enough to see the bottom.

Without my mother's instruction, how would a weak young miss like me dare to accept such a generous gift?

My mother smiled and nodded at me. "Since your Wen family's aunt gave this to you, you can take it!"

I hastily pulled Second Miss Jiang forward to pay my respects.

"Alright!" Now the money was gone! Just go have fun! " The brisk tone of Mrs. Wen's voice was very amiable.

Second Miss Jiang and I squatted down to kowtow again and bid farewell to the ladies.

The ladies nodded and smiled as they talked about the interesting things that had happened when their children were young.

Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Lu Kou come out from the Nine Links Screen placed in the back hall and stand far behind us. After we passed by, he hurriedly followed us and smiled, "Miss, Miss Jiang, the young masters from the other families came in to pay their respects. In order to avoid suspicion, all of you ladies went to the back room."

I nodded my head, and Green Cock quietly followed behind us.

Supporting Second Miss Jiang, I smiled and asked her: "Did your family have any dealings with the Wen family in the past?"

Second Young Miss Jiang was also a bit perplexed. Holding that piece of jade, she said: "I have never seen Madame Wen before!"

"Judging from the looks of it, Lady Wen and your mother are very familiar with each other. Perhaps it's because they're from the outer court!"

Second Miss Jiang shook her head and said, "Impossible! "My sister started to be my housekeeper two years ago, and never saw the Wen family on the list."

From the looks of it, the two families had never interacted before.

If that was the case, then Madame Wen was truly capable of dancing with her long sleeves; she could not even compare to Madame Jiang!

After entering the back hall, all of the ladies had long known that we had returned. Whether they were sitting or standing, they all casually nodded and greeted us.

A young lady fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in a moon-white pair of jade buttons and embroidered with red bamboo, smiled as she stood up and greeted us.

The features of her face were very similar to Mrs. Wen's, but the long eyebrows that entered her temples made her look more heroic, without Mrs. Wen's gentleness and gentleness.

"Sister Wen!" I pulled Second Miss Jiang along to greet the two girls. Miss Wen did not wait for us to bow down before hurriedly supporting us. She laughed heartily, "Little sisters, please don't be so polite!"

"Autumn Rain!" Miss Wen turned around and called out to her servant girl.

A maidservant in a pea-green gown and a pink dress came over with a gold box made of rosewood and handed it to Miss Wen.

Miss Wen had a pair of slender and elegant fingers. He took the box and opened it. Immediately, a fragrant aroma filled the air.

Inside, there were three or four folding fans of Xiang Fei Bamboo. They were mottled like teardrops, exceptionally adorable.

"Sisters, please choose the one you like!" Miss Wen knelt down with the box in her hands, making it convenient for the shorter Miss Jiang and I to choose between them.

I glanced at Second Miss Jiang. Second Miss Jiang finally understood. Smiling, she extended her hand and said, "Then I'll choose one!"

Second Miss Jiang reached out for the uppermost one.

She slowly unfurled the bamboo fan in her hand. There was a cluster of Jade hairpin flowers drawn under the moonlight on the fan. They were small and cute, appearing crystal clear under the gentle moonlight.

Miss Wen smiled as she looked at Second Miss Jiang. "Sister Jiang, give it a try!"

Second Miss Jiang fanned herself, but I noticed that First Miss Wen had addressed her as' Sister Jiang 'the first time.

My intuition told me that this Miss Wen, who was smiling amiably, was a very handsome person.

People were not afraid of being smart, but doing things with smart people would often result in twice the results with half the effort. I'm afraid that a smart person might not have the right mindset.

Among the misses present, Miss Xue, Miss Xu, Second Miss Xu, and the beaming Miss Wen were all very intelligent people, but each had their own merits. However, because she was born into a clear family and was the eldest daughter of her family, it was hard to avoid her pride. Second Miss Xu came from a martial general's family, and she was also the second daughter. Miss Wen came from a merchant's family. She was extremely intelligent, had delicate features, and was able to lower her stature. She didn't seem to be restrained at all. It could even be said that she could be freely released.

Next to me, Second Miss Jiang smiled and said, "Sister Wen, what a coincidence!"

The fan flew over, the fragrance of the jade flower hairpin mixed in with the breeze.

Miss Wen pursed her lips and smiled. "It's good as long as little sister likes it!" He turned around and looked at me. "Younger sister should also pick a favorite one!"

I took a handful and was about to thank Miss Wen when Second Miss Jiang grabbed my arm and said: "Quickly, open it and see what it is!"

I smiled helplessly at Miss Wen and handed the fan in my hand to Second Miss Jiang.

Second Miss Jiang opened her fan with a "Hua" sound, followed by low laughter.

"What's wrong?" I was attracted, too, and I leaned over to see.

On the fan were two large, plump peaches, pink fruits between the lush foliage.

Peach flower often symbolizes the marriage, and peach knot after blooming, the implication is self-evident.

Miss Wen said with a red face, "Could it be that little sister took that one?"

I helplessly nodded at her and pointed at Second Miss Jiang. "Look at that mischievous smile!"

Miss Wen's face became redder and redder. She whispered, "Little sister, can you change for a fan? That fan was meant for me. "

"Elder sister?" I asked her, surprised.

Miss Wen nodded. "This is the last time I'll be a guest."

I quickly pulled out the fan from Second Miss Jiang's hand and gave it back to Miss Wen.

Miss Wen let out a light breath, holding the box in her hand and said: "Except for this one, give all of it to sister!"

Second Miss Jiang and I looked at Miss Wen and started laughing.

"This is great news, why would I hide it from everyone!" Second Miss Jiang wanted to go and discuss the matter as she spoke.

Miss Wen had probably never seen someone as careless as him before. She quickly stretched out her hand to stop him, but just as she was about to do so, she slowly withdrew her hand.

Sometimes, people were like this. The smarter they were, the more they would worry.

Although Miss Wen was smart, she must have been suppressed by her status as the daughter of a merchant!

I quickly gave a meaningful glance to Miss Wen before I quickly took two steps forward and pulled Second Miss Jiang back.

Such a big movement stunned Miss Xue, Miss Xu, and Miss Xu, who were sitting on the brick bed, flipping over the rope together. Miss Xue, who was sitting alone in front of the screen, was watching our every move from a long time ago.

I couldn't help but smile wryly, this rash young miss Jiang had really stirred up a mess.

All the ladies in the room, friendly or hostile, were staring at us.
