Is Shizi ill today?

Chapter 1333 Birthday Banquet

Because it is her first grandson, Mrs. Cao attaches great importance to this birthday party, and she started to arrange it three days ago.

On this day, just after dawn, the Cao Mansion opened its doors and began to distribute rewards.

The red seal, which was worth a tael of silver, made the recipients as happy as a festival.

Shen Qianqiao led Mother An to Cao's house early.

Chen Jiuzhen took her by the hand and entered the room, "Why don't you sleep a little longer? I'm still early."

"can not fall asleep."

Shen Qianqiao looked around and asked, "Where's Kang'er?"

"Before dawn, I was carried to the old lady's room."

Although Chen Jiuzhen was complaining, the good looks in her eyes could not be stopped.

Seeing that Aunt Zhen is doing well now, Shen Qianqiao is also happy in her heart.

"The old lady is old. There are two girls in Cao's mansion who are working hard, and Master Cao is outside. You don't have to worry about anything, and there is nothing left to play with your grandchildren. The second girl has come to the end of all hardships."

Madam An said happily.

Chen Jiuzhen smiled: "Since she has Kang'er, she has become much easier to talk to."

Her words paused, and she looked at Shen Qianqiao: "Fusheng's [-]-day banquet is about to arrive."

Shen Qianqiao's smile faltered for a while, and then she nodded slightly.

"There is still half a month."

"Has the emperor come to see you these two days?"

Shen Qianqiao shook her head: "No."

Chen Jiuzhen felt uncomfortable, so she pulled Shen Qianqiao to sit down.

"How about the matter between you and Zeng Ji Shaodong's family?"

Shen Qianqiao hadn't told Aunt Zhen those terrible things yet, but she was silent for a while when she couldn't hide the concern in Aunt Zhen's eyes, and said softly, "I'm not suitable for him."

Chen Jiuzhen also guessed the result.

"I heard your uncle was full of praise for him. He even sent a few baskets of fresh fruit yesterday. It's a thoughtful one, but if you really don't like it, you can't force it."

Shen Qianqiao nodded slightly, and did not continue, she knew that Aunt Zhen and Uncle both cared about her and for her own good.

"We have already paid a deposit for the goods we want, and they will be shipped to the imperial capital in a few days. Your uncle said that if you are short of money here, he can get you some."

"I plan to open the shop on the South Street first, and rent out the other shops first."

Chen Jiuzhen understood what she meant, "That's fine."

"lady."

A girl lifted her foot and walked in.

"The old lady invited Madam and Miss Shen to have dinner at Baifu Yuan."

Chen Jiuzhen's eyes moved, and she turned her head to look at Shen Qianqiao.

"Let's go together."

Shen Qianqiao stood up.

Chen Jiuzhen asked the girl to go back first, and turned to look at her: "A few aunts have also returned. I haven't seen them a few times since Jinzhi got married. We will meet later. No matter what they say, don't pay attention to them and control them." I'll be leaving in two days."

Shen Qianqiao hummed.

Chen Jiuzhen led her into Baifu Yuan.

Just after entering the door, a surprised female voice sounded: "Hey, isn't this the one who wants to be a concubine? What brought you here today?"

Shen Qianqiao recognized the voice, looked up and met the jealousy and resentment in Cao Jinzhi's eyes.

She paused in her heart, and quickly looked away, as if she hadn't heard the sound, and followed behind.

"Look at Miss San's words, Qian Qiao is my niece, and Kang'er is one year old, so naturally she is going to come as a cousin."

Chen Jiuzhen pulled Shen Qianqiao to sit on the two empty seats.

"Since it's my cousin, why didn't my cousin's husband come with me today?"
