Qingxi's voice was sharp and sharp, but it was already too late. By then, Second Miss Jiang had already pounced on her grandmother.

Even though I had already mentally prepared myself, this burst of force caused my body to jolt and I retreated a few steps before stopping.

Grandmother, who was standing in front of me, snorted lightly, but maintained her position in front of me, hugging Second Miss Jiang.

"Jiang WanRou, what are you doing!" A clear and cold female voice was accompanied by the sound of disorderly and scattered footsteps. A large number of servants followed behind Lady Jiang and surrounded them.

"Mother!" Second Young Miss Jiang, who had just straightened up from her grandmother's embrace, looked a little confused. When she saw the stern expression on Madame Jiang's face, she could not help but wince.

"Quick, get up!" Madame Jiang was very strong and quickly pulled Second Young Miss Jiang away.

"Don't worry about it!" Madame Jiang anxiously supported her grandmother and said, "Although this girl is lively, she has always known what is important and what is important. I was confused for a moment and actually let her help me welcome guests!"

All mothers tried everything they could to protect their children. However, it was precisely because of this kind of spoiling that their children would often become so stupid that they would commit grave mistakes in the future.

"Do you want to find a doctor to show you?" Madame Jiang gently supported her grandmother into the house, ignoring her own daughter who was standing in the yard in a daze.

If he didn't apologize now, should he wait for her mother's anger to dissipate before leaving?

I poked Second Miss Jiang who was standing in the yard. "Are you just going to stand there?"

Second Miss Jiang's face was filled with endless embarrassment, but there was no sign of apology.

At this point, he still hadn't realized what he had done wrong. How else could he ask?

"Didn't you see that my mother was angry!?" Second Young Miss Jiang pursed her lips and turned around to lead her maidservant to the back of the main house.

Qingxi vexedly sighed, then stomped her feet as she saluted to me before holding up the hem of her skirt and swiftly running back.

I smiled. "Let's go. I'm afraid Grandmother is waiting for me!" The two maidservants nodded slightly and followed me into the house with smiles on their faces.

His grandmother had long been placed in the master teacher's chair on the right side of the nave. To the left sat the matriarch of the Xue Clan. The next seat was occupied by his grandmother's handkerchief, Lady Xu.

If we were to rank him according to his identity, it would be a huge mistake." Grandmother was not only a White Ding, but also came from a merchant family, and married into a merchant family. She was truly a "lowly commoner".

After a round of salutations, Miss Jiang, who was standing behind Lady Jiang's grandmother, smiled and winked at me. She was wearing a peach and pink teaspoon, and her face was lightly powdered. She looked fresh and had a tinge of flirtatiousness. Seeing that all the madams and ladies had arrived, Big Miss Jiang knelt down slightly, smiled, and left with the maidservants.

Among the maidservants walking in the back, there was one who was especially eye-catching. Her slender waist was like a willow branch, light as a stepping lotus, and she was probably one of the beauties that Old Granny Jiang had gifted to Young Master Jiang.

After watching Eldest Miss Jiang walk off in the distance, Second Miss Xu invited her to a place opposite the other wives.

"How come I don't see my second sister?" All the women in the room were exchanging pleasantries. The question that Big Miss Xu asked was very sudden.

I couldn't help but look deeply at Eldest Miss Xu.

Who was behind this?

Even what just happened in the courtyard in front of the ladies, I can't believe the people in the house didn't even hear about it. Since everyone already knew about this, Second Miss Jiang's absence was also very obvious. Why didn't anyone ask this question out loud?

"I told her to go to the kitchen and show me!" "Since your little sister wants to play together, I'll call her back!" Lady Jiang said with a smile.

Earlier, Madame Jiang had hurriedly helped her in without even saying a word to her daughter. How could she possibly order her to the kitchen?

I looked down and smiled, just in time to see Mama Jiang staring at my face with a half-smile.

How could one or two of them be like this? It was the same for the mother beside her, Mother Feng. She was always here all day, and now Madame Jiang was here as well!

If it wasn't to help King Qi with his matter, I wouldn't have come here to suffer!

Not long later, Second Miss Jiang welcomed him in and changed into a set of green water grass stripes. She looked extremely sickly, and the corners of her eyes were red, as if she had suffered some sort of grievance.

It was probably because the mother beside Madame Jiang did not want to scold her, so she could only vent her anger on the people around her.

"Little sister, why did you change your clothes after a trip to the kitchen?" The moment Eldest Miss Xu saw Second Young Miss Jiang enter the room, she immediately set her eyes on her. At this moment, she even went up to her and tightly held her hand as she asked about the host's condition.

"I accidentally spilled soup on my clothes!" Second Miss Jiang knitted her eyebrows and waved her hands in disgust. With a turn of her body, she missed the hands that Eldest Miss Xu extended.

"Second sister!" If it wasn't for Miss Xue who was by her side, she would have jumped up long ago to find her. Now that Second Miss Jiang was here, how could she still be patient? She ignored her sister's obstruction and immediately stood up to pull at Second Miss Jiang.

With just a few words, the two of them embraced each other, laughing and making a ruckus as if they were children.

"It's boring for us to sit around empty-handed. We might as well think of something to play with!" Second Young Miss Jiang's face was filled with happiness as she swept through the haze.

All the young ladies nodded in agreement, and started discussing what to do.

"Let's go rowing!"

A suspicious red cloud rose on Lady Xu's face as she pinched the handkerchief in her hand.

I smiled.

Even if I don't see young master Jiang in person, it's good to be able to see his residence from afar.

Second Miss Jiang's expression immediately changed as she glared at her: "I think we should just do some activities inside the house. It's so hot outside, what's the fun?!"

Unexpectedly, Second Miss Jiang was actually so protective of this brother of hers!

"Why don't we throw a pot!" Miss Xue Si giggled, "This one is enough for the room!"

"It's all the stuff the men are playing outside. What's the point of it!" Miss Xue was as harsh as ever.

"How about we beat the drum and pass on the flower? "I saw a big drum next to a room at the back of the living room. It must be where Madame Jiang used to dine. Why don't we borrow it for a bit?" Second Miss Xu smiled as she pointed to the warm pavilion at the back of the hall. Then she lowered her head to ask Third Miss Xu who was sitting in her embrace, "Does Yun Yun want to play the game of passing on the flowers through the drums?"

"Yes!" Sister Yun held a piece of osmanthus cake in her hand and ate until her mouth was full of food, even her voice was a bit slurred.

"How do the Xue sisters feel about this?" Second Miss Xu carefully wiped Third Miss' mouth with her handkerchief as she asked for the opinions of everyone present.

Ever since Miss Xue failed to enter the palace last time, Miss Xue became more and more calm and composed. She didn't say anything, and just held a cup of tea in her hand. She sat in her chair without even moving her butt. Now that Second Miss Xu had asked her, she could only smile and nod, appearing as solemn and solemn as a Buddha that had been invited back from a temple.

The Xue sisters had always followed Miss Xue's lead, so they naturally didn't have any objections when she nodded. Miss Xue San stood aside and muttered a few words, but no one paid any attention to her, so they had no choice but to give up.

"Why haven't we seen Cousin Ning Lin?" Now that I thought about it, I realized I hadn't seen the little girl who used to pull at me with her soft little hands.

The air became still and no one spoke for a long time.

"Lin'er hasn't been feeling very well lately, Third Aunt has left her in the Manor." Miss Xue looked at her sister a few times, but no one paid any attention to her.

It's no wonder that Miss Xue is afraid of me. If I had been exposed like that in the past, even if I didn't piss her off, I would have circled around her from now on!

"I think we should just play drumming and pass on the flowers!" Noticing my awkwardness, Second Miss Jiang hurriedly helped me out. "I'll go tell my mother right now!"

Moments later, the mother Jiang followed behind Second Miss Jiang to entertain the ladies. Each of the misses entered the pavilion together in twos and threes. Second Miss Jiang only waited outside the door until it was time to enter.

I purposely got up a step too late because the only way to enter the pavilion was to circle around the screen. The entrance was narrow and there were a lot of misses, so I naturally fell behind.

When I walked in side by side with Second Miss Jiang, I whispered a few words into her ear.

"That's good! This is so interesting! " Second Miss Jiang laughed as she clapped. "You are really mischievous!"

"It's just for fun!" Smiling, I touched the shimmering embroidery on my sleeve.

Second Miss Xu has really given me a good idea. This Drumming Flower Propagation was simply designed for the matter that I was thinking about in my heart.

After everyone sat down, Qingxi held the drum gavel. Second Miss Jiang was the host and didn't sit down. She only stood in the outer circle to do some work and direct the servants. Seeing everyone taking their positions, Second Miss Jiang put her hands on her waist and smiled: "Since all of you sisters have entered our house as guests, you must respect our family rules."

Everyone quickly agreed that they would definitely follow the rules.

"Since all the sisters are so reasonable, I can only make it clear that once the drumstick stops, no more flowers can be passed on, otherwise those who receive the flowers will be punished, and whoever gets the flowers will have their hands on the flowers, so I'll take out a stick from this stick and write down various questions. Only after answering can we continue playing!"

At some point, the rules that I came up with became the Jiang family's.

"This method at sister's house is quite new. We have never heard of it before!" Second Miss Xu laughed, "I love these novelties. Hearing my sister say this, I must give it a try!"
