After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 104 Iron
"Mother."

The appearance of this figure attracted everyone's attention.

Rong Peilan looked over and a smile appeared unconsciously on the corner of her lips.

gorgeous!

Mrs. Zhong was also stunned. It took her a long time to react. She looked at Mrs. Pei and said, "This is..."

Pei took Xu Jiaqian's hand and said with a smile, "This is our little waiter, Sister Qian."

Mrs. Zhong understood immediately and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Girls really change a lot when they grow up. They become more and more beautiful. Sister Qian has turned into a fairy!"

Last year, Uncle Wenyuan and his family returned to Beijing. Except for Xu Jiayi, who was already married, Xu Jiaqian and the second son Xu Qixun did not come back.

The last time she saw Xu Jiaqian was ten years ago. The embryo of a little beauty had already taken shape. She knew that this little girl would grow up to be an extraordinary little beauty.

I didn’t expect it to be so amazing!
Most of the ladies who came to the banquet today brought their unmarried boys with them.

When the ladies came back to their senses from their shock, they were afraid that the threshold of the Xu family was about to be broken!
Xu Jiaqian is just as she looks, with an ethereal air in every move she makes.

As graceful as a frightened bird, as graceful as a dragon swimming.

Zhong couldn't help but approach her daughter-in-law and whispered, "The Xu family has hidden their daughter until now. I'm afraid they have the intention of letting her enter the palace. Such a beauty, I'm afraid she is another Concubine Liu..."

Rong Peilan recalled the scene yesterday when Xu Jiaqian winked at her playfully. Such a lively girl...

She dared not think.

When Xu Jiaqian came in, her appearance had already been revealed. Now many maids came in to look for their own wives.

I'm afraid the young man fell in love with her at first sight, so he sent his maid to ask.

Madam Jin of the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion, who was sitting next to Zhong, said with a smile, "Sister Pei has such a pretty girl, and she has been hiding it until now!"

Mrs. Pei smiled and said, "I am not hiding. Qian'er has been learning the art of playing the zither from Madam Shexiang since she was a child. The relationship between the master and the apprentice is deep. When we returned to Beijing, she was reluctant to leave. She simply let her stay for a few more months to accompany her master through the New Year before returning to Beijing. That's why we are delayed until now."

Madam Shexiang, a legendary woman, never married in her life and was famous for her superb musical skills!

Many noble families wanted to hire someone but couldn't find one, but it turned out that the girl from the Xu family had been learning the piano for many years!

At this time, a maid came in holding a zither, "Miss, the zither has been repaired."

A lady who knew the zither asked excitedly, "Is this Jiaowei?"

Xu Jiaqian walked forward and picked up the zither. Her white and crystal fingertips stroked the strings, and the sound of the zither flowed out like the gurgling of water.

She then responded, "It is Jiaowei. It was given to me by my master before I left."

As she spoke, she touched the zither with a distressed look on her face. "It's just that I was too reckless and a string was broken."

“It took a long time to find a craftsman who could repair the Jiaowei.”

Rong Peilan looked at the beautiful woman holding the zither, and her eyebrows jumped.

I think the next thing she’s going to do is to perform. Madam Shexiang’s apprentice, the angel-like beauty from the Xu family, shocked Yanjing with her song.

The lady looked at Jiaowei with some impatience.

"Miss Xu, please don't blame me for being so abrupt. Good pianos are hard to find in the world, let alone such a famous piano. Miss, can you play a piece for us to enjoy?"

Xu Jiaqian looked at Pei, and when she saw Pei nod slightly, she responded, "My daughter's piano skills are not very good, I hope the ladies will forgive me."

Immediately, a maid brought a copper basin for washing hands.

Rong Peilan raised her eyebrows slightly. She felt that she could go out and set up a fortune-telling stall.

Xu Jiaqian sat upright in front of the piano table. She was so beautiful that she didn't look like an ordinary person. She raised her hands slightly, her expression solemn, and her misty dress fluttered. At this moment, she looked more like a goddess from the sky.

With her ten fingers gently stroking the piano, the moment the sound of the piano rang out, she drew everyone into her music.

The sound of the piano is mellow, like the gurgling spring in the deep mountains, clean and low.

Close your eyes gently, and you will feel as if you are there, with a faint fragrance at the tip of your nose.

Rong Peilan opened her eyes slightly and saw a little maid lighting an incense stick. Pei nodded as if she was very satisfied.

She suddenly felt that the protagonist of this spring feast at the Wenyuan Marquis's mansion should not be the eldest son of the Xu family, but the second daughter of the Xu family. The ladies in the flower hall all looked very happy.

She looked outside the hall again and saw several heads near the window, pushing each other from time to time.

A beautiful woman, a talented woman, and a student of a famous teacher.

What kind of position does Mrs. Pei want to raise Xu Jiaqian to?

The song is over.

All the ladies in the flower hall seemed unable to recover for a long time.

Rong Peilan suddenly met Xu Jiaqian's eyes, and she winked at her playfully again.

She was stunned for a moment, and when she came to her senses, she was sitting upright again.

Beauty... has many sides.

“What a great song!”

The lady who first recognized Jiao Wei was quite excited and even wiped tears from the corners of her eyes.

"I pride myself on being the best zither player in Beijing. After listening to Miss Xu's music today, I admit I am inferior to her. I am afraid I will never be able to play the zither again in the future."

Xu Jiaqian stood up and said, "Madam, you are so kind. I am so humbled."

Rong Peilan and Zhong looked at each other. Pei's goal today was achieved, and tomorrow the Xu family would have a girl with both talent and beauty.

Her reputation has been established first. If Xu Jiaqian wants to enter the palace in the future, she will probably be the first to receive favor.

When Ji Yunzhang came to pick up a few people, he happened to meet Xu Qifeng who had just finished his shift at the door.

Before Wen Yuanbo took office and left Beijing, the two were childhood friends.

"Eh? Why are you, the protagonist, so late today?"

"Me?" Xu Qifeng pointed at himself, then he reacted, smiled bitterly, and patted Ji Yunzhang's arm.

"This is all your fault! My mother nags at you every day. You are still a few months younger than me, and your baby is almost born."

Ji Yunzhang raised his eyebrows in disapproval.

"You've been back for a few months and haven't been free yet. I'll call Shaojie some other day and we'll go drink together."

"Row!"

After Xu Qifeng responded, he realized, "Where's Xue Saner?"

Ji Yunzhang's expression changed slightly, "Don't mention him."

Xu Qifeng shrugged, "To be honest, he's the one I disliked the most since I was a kid."

"Every time we get into trouble, we always take the blame, and he runs away the fastest!"

Ji Yunzhang thought of his childhood and could only smile bitterly, "It's all in the past, and everything has changed."

Xu Qifeng nodded in agreement. "Two years ago, when I was still studying at Tongshan Academy, I saw him in Liyang Prefecture. That's when I learned that he had become a businessman."

"This is the first time I've seen so many iron objects. I wonder how much he's going to sell them for..."

Ji Yunzhang was stunned and interrupted him, "What did you say? Ironware?"

Xu Qifeng nodded in confusion, "Yes, there are shovels, iron spades, iron pots, everything!"

Ironware...

Ji Yunzhang's expression darkened instantly.

Xue Jinghe's caravans were spread all over the country, including not only caravans traveling all over the country, but also merchant ships.

If the flowing smoke that Gou'er saw was Xue Jinghe, then he was the one who helped the Western Jin Dynasty transport iron!
