Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 147 Going to the Su family for a banquet, the side concubine looks at each other (2)
Miss Su's boudoir name is Xiaowan, she married Qian Xuezheng from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces last year, and now her husband is a husband and wife, and I heard that married life is very sweet and happy.

Everyone's fate is different, and this is something I can't envy.

"Young lady, I don't know," Bi Yuan said in a protracted tone on purpose, "Madam Su's aunt went back to her hometown to visit her relatives. That's why we invite our daughters in Danyang to participate in some poetry meeting."

"The aunt of the Su family?"

Ji Chonglian sat up straight slowly, put down the book in her hand, and looked up at Biyuan, "But the aunt who married King Minyi as a side concubine?"

"That's not it."

Bi Yuan nodded again and again, with excitement in his eyes, "Miss, you didn't see the ostentation. I heard that the line was so beautiful that it was several miles long. The red carpet covered the floor, and the ground was beautiful. The county palace is just different!"

"Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Ji Chonglian pursed her lips and smiled, Bi Yuan's words were too exaggerated.

According to his seniority, the father of Prince Minyi was the cousin of the emperor. His father inherited the title of the prince, and in his generation he was downgraded to the first rank. Although they are all descendants of the Li surname, but as time goes by It is also far away from the imperial power.

However, King Minyi was allotted a piece of wealthy land in the south of the Yangtze River as his fiefdom, so it is not surprising that he has such a rich and dignified appearance now.

Bi Yuan stuck out his tongue and said with a smile, "Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I heard them say the same thing!"

Bi Yuan smiled and handed over the invitation. Ji Chonglian took a look and couldn't help laughing. This is a wide invitation, and it includes almost all the unmarried ladies in Danyang. It is not difficult to understand what this concubine Su means. Let people understand.

To go or not to go?

Ji Chonglian didn't want to show off any publicity, or did she just avoid it this time?
Seeing Ji Chonglian's pensive expression, Bi Yuan felt a little puzzled, so he asked hesitantly, "Young lady, don't you want to go?"

Ji Chonglian gave Bi Yuan a sideways glance, "What do you think?"

Having been with Ji Chonglian for so long, Biyuan has at least figured out some of her temper. Hearing this now, he immediately turned bitter, "Girl really don't want to go?"

"What about this poem? The girls of each family just show their strengths. I don't understand your girl. Isn't it just a shame to go there?"

As Ji Chonglian said that, she stood up, put the invitation into Biyuan's hand, and turned into the inner room. She had to find a reason not to go, she had to think carefully.

"Girl, I heard that the fifth girl is going to decline the invitation of Concubine Su, look at this..."

When Chuncao was in the kitchen to fetch food for Ji Haitang, she heard Biyuan muttering a few times, so she caught her and asked her to understand.

Ji Haitang's expression froze. She also knew the news that Concubine Su had returned to visit her relatives. Someone from the Su family sent a post this morning. Ji Chonglian was in charge of the house, so the post was naturally sent to her.

"Do you know who they are inviting?"

Ji Haitang lowered his eyebrows, picked up the rice balls with ivory chopsticks, but he had no appetite at all.

Ever since she knew that she might be sent to Dongyang Bo's house by the eldest wife to be a concubine, Ji Haitang felt as if she had swallowed a fly. She has been eating poorly for the past few days, and she has also lost weight.

She is very anxious, but who can she ask?

Even Ji Chonglian doesn't help her, she can only rely on herself.

Chuncao was also a little curious, "It seems that all the unmarried noble girls of Danyang have been invited, and I don't know what this side concubine Su is up to."

"Unmarried..."

Ji Haitang's eyes flashed, and he put down his chopsticks abruptly, "Let's go to Fifth Sister's."

"Girl, I haven't eaten this meal yet!"

Chuncao is a little anxious, Ji Haitang's appetite has not been very good these days, and she also tries to make the kitchen cook some meals that suit her appetite, but right now she hasn't moved a few chopsticks...

"Let the pear branches warm," Ji Haitang paused, took a deep breath, and said, "If I get good news, I'll eat it all in one sitting when I come back!"

Ji Chonglian now lives in the small courtyard next to Xuanyi Hall. There is a verandah connecting with the garden of the big house, and you can see it just by turning around a moon gate.

Ji Haitang walked very fast, and Chuncao was panting after chasing her. When he finally arrived, he met Ji Chonglian going out with Biyuan.

"Second sister is looking for me?"

Ji Chonglian was slightly taken aback, seeing Ji Haitang panting lightly, hurriedly took a step back to let her in, then ordered Bi Yuan to pour tea, and then slowly sat down.

"Fifth sister is going out?"

Ji Haitang looked a little nervous, but his eyes flickered slightly when he caught sight of the bronzing invitation card that Ji Chonglian conveniently put aside.

"I was going to the old lady's place, but unfortunately the second sister came over, so naturally I want to accompany you first."

Ji Chonglian said with a smile, but followed Ji Haitang's gaze. I am afraid that many people in the house know about the Su family sending invitations. Didn't Ji Haitang come here for this?
She was planning to report back to Mrs. Ji, so she declined the Su family's invitation. After all, there were quite a few people there, so it would be harmless to miss them.

"Fifth Sister, is she planning to go to Su's house for a banquet?"

Ji Haitang bit her lip, her urgency made her unable to beat around the bush, she simply explained the reason for her visit, "Please ask Fifth Sister to give up this idea and go with me."

"Second sister!"

Ji Chonglian looked at Ji Haitang in surprise, raised her eyebrows, as if thinking of something, her complexion gradually sank.

"That matter... the second sister knows?"

Ming people don't speak dark words in front of them, Ji Chonglian looked at Ji Haitang, she was just slightly taken aback, then nodded hesitantly, her beautiful eyes turned red, "My life is also hard, if I don't fight for a point, I will be happy in the future." I'm afraid it's..."

Ji Haitang touched the corners of his eyes with a silk handkerchief, and sobbed softly.

Ji Chonglian gave her a wink, and Bi Yuan hurriedly withdrew to guard the door, if someone came over, she thought something was wrong, this scene should not be seen by others.

"I've already told my grandmother about this matter. Don't worry, my second sister, no matter how my eldest aunt insists on going her own way, at least my grandmother will make the decision for you. Her old man will not allow this kind of thing to happen."

Ji Chonglian said thoughtfully, even though the old lady Ji didn't show much love for Ji Haitang, she was her granddaughter after all, and Tong Jingnian had such a virtue, seeing that Ji Furong had already paid for it, how could the old lady have the heart Then push Ji Haitang into the kang?

"You talked to grandma?"

Ji Haitang raised her head in surprise, her eyes were slightly red and swollen, but she asked eagerly, "Then what does the old man say?"

If the old lady Ji stood up for her, she would naturally not have to worry, but this matter also needs to be done quickly, who knows if the old lady's virtue will be cut first and played later, she can't bear it.
