Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 206 "Grandmother" (Part [-])
In the back garden, needles can be heard quietly.

Everyone's faces were not very good-looking, and they exchanged glances secretly, but no one spoke.Everyone here probably came here with the same thought, but now, seeing someone is about to stand out, how could they not be in a hurry?
This matter can be big or small.

At a young age, the old lady just said something casually, maybe even some jokes, but if they answered the words hastily, this matter might become a final conclusion under the eyes of everyone.

On the other hand, Bai Xing was so frightened that his heart jumped into his throat, fearing that his grandmother's words would reach Ning Xiuyuan's ears, he clarified embarrassingly, "Grandma, you old man, don't mess with the mandarin ducks...Miss Ji How can you fancy me...don't embarrass other girls."

When the voice fell, the atmosphere in the garden was visibly relaxed, people were laughing and talking.

"I know that others look down on you, but I don't know how to correct it!" The old lady stretched out her hand and pinched his arm, gnashing her teeth.But in the end it was his own precious grandson, who said something disgusting, but he was very precious in his heart.

Mrs. Bai also knew that the youngest son of the Ning family probably had some thoughts about Ji Wuyan.A while ago, I heard that Mrs. Ning had hinted that she had a third daughter-in-law, and the girl even gave her a good jade wishful, obviously very satisfied.Although my grandson is good, but he is robbing Ning Xiuyuan... Let's forget it.

Thinking of this, he patted the back of Ji Wuyan's hand again, walked into the garden together, and sighed with a smile, "That's all...my kid seems to be unlucky...but girl, old lady, I really like you, no If, in the future, you don't want to call me old madam, old madam, just call me, how about grandma?"

His grandmother died young, and Ji Wuyan has no grandmother.

It is said that after Shangguan's family fled to the south of the Yangtze River, the grandmother's heart became depressed and eventually became ill, and she left not long after.When Ji Wuyan was born, she was already gone.

Mrs. Bai grabbed the back of her hand, her eyes were full of expectations, seeing her drooping her head in silence, she sighed and couldn't bear to force her, "I'm just..."

Before the words fell, Ji Wuyan called out in a low voice, "Grandmother."

Holding Ji Wuyan's hand trembled slightly, her eyes were instantly stained with a small smile, the old lady nodded frequently, and replied, "Ah, ah... yes! You are so good!" As she said, she took off the bracelet on her hand .

Ji Wuyan quickly blocked her, she held Mrs. Bai's hand, shook her head lightly, and said in a low voice, "I didn't mean to call you grandma for anything...but I also wanted to be like others. It’s just a grandmother. Today I received this bracelet, and I always feel uneasy. I have not yet been filial to you, but it is inappropriate to accept such an expensive gift.”

The little girl's voice was very low, pressed against her ears, no one in the garden could hear her.

No one saw what the old lady Bai was doing under her wide sleeves.

But Bai Xing saw it. He raised his head slightly, took a look at Ji Wuyan, and said nothing.I don't know who taught this little girl, and she always does things very beautifully on the scene, even if she refuses, the people around her who can refuse are full of joy, but in this coaxing demeanor, she is extraordinarily sincere.

Grandma has experienced this experience, and she is no longer able to be coaxed by just a few nice words from a random girl.Otherwise, if she likes her granddaughter so much, how many famous ladies in Yanjing City would call her "grandmother", she should have children and grandchildren everywhere.

Mrs. Bai took Ji Wuyan's hand and walked into the garden. She smiled and introduced, "Come here, let me introduce you. This is the granddaughter of the old lady, Ji Wuyan. Girl, come here, I have met you all." lady."

Ji Wuyan bowed his knees and saluted, saying hello.

Ji Wuyan is now considered a celebrity in Yanjing City. He heard that he was close to Third Master Ning before, and later he was rewarded by His Majesty, and now Mrs. Bai has recognized her as a relative. It is good to befriend her.Immediately they scrambled to say hello, and they all invited Ji Wuyan to sit at the mansion.

Ji Wuyan responded one by one without losing anyone's face. The old lady watched from the side, nodding her head more and more satisfied.

While exchanging greetings, there was a soft laugh coming from outside, the laughter was sweet and gentle, "I heard that the Bai family's banquet was very lively before. It's just that I haven't had the chance to come here to see the grand occasion..."

The voice was raised, not too high, but it was enough to interrupt the pleasantries in the garden.

Everyone looked at it together, and saw that the person led by the steward was You Lingxi, the princess of the You family, followed by two people, one dressed as a maid, holding an object wrapped in flannelette, which looked like a piano.another……

Someone looked familiar and couldn't remember who he was for a while, so he asked a friend beside him, and the other person moved his lips quietly, "Mr. Wang... from the Secretary of Jiaofang." Mr. Wang's surname is Wang, but no one knows his real name. , I only know that everyone respectfully calls her Mr. Wang, and some people say that she studied under the old ancestor of the Jiang family, but she herself has never responded directly, so she doesn't know whether it is true or not.

"Princess Lingxi." The old lady Bai was also surprised by You Lingxi's arrival, but she quickly reacted and stood up to greet her, "The princess is coming, and the scorpion is shining. Please come in, please come in." While welcoming people in , while looking at You Lingxi a few times.

Today You Lingxi is wearing a gray-blue palace attire, the inner and outer layers are very cumbersome, the style is a popular style at the moment, good-looking is really good-looking, and the walking is ethereal, like a cloud of smoke.It's just not suitable for You Lingxi's temperament.

The old lady was personally ordered by the late emperor, so she doesn't need to salute, but the wives and girls in the courtyard do have to be present.

You Lingxi raised his hand with a smile, "Today I am a guest of the Bai family, just like everyone else, so you don't need to be too polite." As he spoke, he looked around with a smile, and his eyes fell on Ji Wuyan.Ruoshui quietly took half a step forward, barely standing in front of Ji Wuyan, but his eyes fell on the piano in the other's maid's arms... His body trembled slightly.

You Lingxi nodded to Ji Wuyan, "Miss Ji, long time no see."

"The princess is well." Ji Wuyan just nodded slightly, which was completely different from the long-sleeved and dancing enthusiasm before.

Old Madam Bai looked back and forth between the two girls, thinking that You Lingxi's appearance today somewhat imitated Ji Wuyan.Nowadays, the bright and colorful style is prevalent in the city, and the girls like to wear brightly colored clothes. Look at the colorful flowers in the garden, they are not as gorgeous as the girls.

And You Lingxi, especially loves Hongyi.

Even though he thought about it, he didn't say much about You Lingxi's feelings for Ning Xiuyuan.But there was someone who was eager to talk, Shi Shiran walked out from the crowd, "The princess's appearance today is really eye-catching... This dress is really beautiful."
