Rank One Princess Douxian Wang: Phoenix Palace Brocade

Chapter 29 List of Invitations

Xu Jiaqing has been the jewel in the palm of the Xu family since she was a child. In Kunshan, she was the only daughter from the Xu family. Naturally, she was handed over to Guangli, and she would get together with other young ladies from time to time during festivals.To leave Kunshan, it is natural to say goodbye to these people.

But Xu Jiatong was different. Her sudden appearance would naturally arouse the speculations of the girls from various families, and the embarrassing messages that followed would also be dug out.

"Putting a banquet to invite ladies from all families to gather, the fifth girl has managed it in the mansion?" Xu Jiatong asked.

As soon as Ah Xiang heard it, his eyes immediately crooked, full of smiles: "The only thing I know about this is twice, one was the fifth girl's birthday when she was 12 years old, and the other was last summer. The third lady said that the Xu family values ​​frugality and cannot be extravagant. So I don’t hold banquets very often. The uncle has only held three times so far, and the old lady is still in charge.”

Zheng's family is diligent and thrifty, even if they want to break their heads, they will not have such an idea. It is not because there is a lack of support in the mansion, and the entire Xu mansion can only maintain an empty shell.

After Mrs. Xu passed away, the Xu family allocated half of the money to help Xu Xiaozu gain a firm foothold in the western capital, and the remaining half and a small half fell into the hands of Xu Xiaoxian and the Zheng family. It was a pity that Xu Xiaoxian invested them in the fields, but There were floods for two consecutive years, so the money was naturally in vain.

The rest of the Li family will be used to show off. Although Li's natal family is still very well-off, they can't afford it early. Her natal family sees that they can't get any money after a long time, and gradually there is only money left. Walked around normally.

"It seems that Fifth Younger Sister is going to make a big show this time. I wonder which lady she is usually close to?" Xu Jiatong asked.

Ah Xiang shook his head: "The servant girl has never been sent to help. I only heard that the girl from the Fang family will come, and the third girl from the county magistrate's family will also come. Others don't know."

Thinking that what she knew was limited, Xu Jiatong asked again: "I don't know if Shuangxiu knows?"

"Shuangxiu got closer to Miss Fifth, but she didn't know it well. Today, she heard that Miss Fifth was going to have a banquet, so she also asked the maidservant which girl would attend." Ah Xiang said.

Xu Jiatong asked her to go down, and Bi Shui tried on the clothes. Ah Xiang was dexterous, and the clothes were neither loose nor tight.

"Ah Xiang's craftsmanship is really good, look at it, girl, although it is not as good as the tailors in Jinxiufang, it may be considered outstanding in Kunshan." Bi Shui praised sincerely.

"Yes, I will be a helper in the future. Have you found out about Miss Fang? Xu Jiatong asked her.

Bi Shui said: "At first I thought I couldn't ask anything, but after all the inquiries, we have all the information. Our Fifth Miss and Miss Fang always meet three or four times a month, sometimes Miss Fang comes over, and sometimes Miss Fifth passes by. At first the third wife stopped her, saying that Fang's family was just a family of merchants, and she was afraid that the fifth girl would affect her reputation. But when the fifth girl saw that the eldest son was in constant contact with the eldest son, she defied the third wife's wishes and continued to communicate in private."

"It seems that they are very close, but Fifth Younger Sister has never mentioned her. Besides, what do people in the house say about Fifth Younger Sister?" Xu Jiatong smiled, feeling a little uneasy.

Xu Jiaqing had always been nice to her, and she was not a heartless person. She knew that Xu Jialan and Xu Jiaxing in the Western Capital would not have sisterly feelings for her, so she wanted to treat Xu Jiaqing as her only sister.If Xu Jiaqing wanted to harm her, that was the last thing she wanted to see.

"Miss Wu is kind and never loses her temper with servants. When she encounters servants being punished, she will definitely ask for mercy. It's just... some people say that she has soft ears, and sometimes the people around her say a few more words, and then she changes her face." Thoughts. But even if the slaves ask a few people, they may not be able to count." Bi Shui said.

Xu Jiatong nodded and said: "This is true, I also noticed it. She and Miss Fang got close, but I don't know if there is any other reason besides the same interests. Come on, let's go to her place for a walk, and it will be considered as an agreement. post."

Bi Shui ordered a box of snacks and followed Xu Jiatong.Although she only had a half-knowledge of what happened between Xu Jiatong and Fang Xinniang today, she was somewhat clear that the relationship between Fang Xinniang and Xu Lianping was not simple, and the relationship between Fang Xinniang and Xu Jiaqing might not be simple either.

"Girl, what if they team up to set you up?" Bi Shui said worriedly.

"It's not enough, their hearts haven't been twisted into a rope, even if they are, I have a way to break it up." Xu Jiatong comforted.

But even though she believed in herself, she couldn't be sure.But she can only tell Bi Shui that she is sure, so that Bi Shui can put down her restless heart.

When they arrived at Xu Jiaqing's place, Xu Jiatong left Bi Shui outside to talk to the two maids, and she and Xu Jiaqing went into the inner room.

The two of them sat down on the couch at a small table, and Xu Jiatong said softly, "I met Miss Fang in Jinxiufang today. I hit it off with her at first sight. After talking about it, I realized that you also knew her. Her marriage is in sight. It's about to be settled, and it's not very satisfactory. I just met her, so it's hard to talk too deeply, it's better for you to persuade her."

Xu Jiatong told Fang Xinniang that she was going to do something small for the crippled second master of the county magistrate's family, and Xu Jiaqing's face darkened bit by bit.

"I heard that my brother said that her marriage was not going well, but my brother didn't say much. If I knew, I would have gone to see her early in the morning." Xu Jiaqing sighed.

Xu Jiatong said hastily: "She kept saying that she hadn't seen her cousin for a long time to visit Fang's mansion, and wanted to catch up on the old days before the marriage was settled."

Being a concubine does not need to give the betrothal gift in advance like being the main wife, as long as it is settled, everything will be fast.Speaking of the three of them growing up together, Fang Xinniang's move was reasonable, but Xu Jiaqing's expression turned even uglier.

"Let's not hide from my fourth sister, I can't let her see my brother. I don't treat my fourth sister as an outsider, and we are going to Xidu together to stay together in adversity. Xin Niang has some different feelings for her brother, but it's not that she is bad, It's just that there will be no result between my brother and her." Xu Jiaqing shook her head.

"No way, we all grew up together, could you be mistaken?" Xu Jiatong pretended to be waking up from a dream, startled.

"Brother usually doesn't care about trivial matters, so maybe Xinniang misunderstood her. When Xinniang's marriage was just beginning to take shape, she once asked someone to find her brother. That's what my brother told me at that time, telling me not to have sex with her before she leaves the cabinet." She contacts her. I am soft-tempered, and I am afraid that if Xinniang begs, she will be a bridge between her and her brother. Since she and her brother have no ending, if I do that, she will suffer even more harm in the future." Xu Jiaqing was in a dilemma. Honestly, she was obviously still suffering.

Xu Jiatong thought about it for a while, and tentatively said: "There is no possibility between them, but because of their family background?"

Xu's family is an official family, and Fang's family is a merchant. This does not mean that whoever is richer should accommodate the other.Even if the Xu family fell down one day, it would be difficult for Xu Lianping to marry Fang Xinniang, and she didn't think Xu Lianping would marry Fang Xinniang.Also, she didn't think Fang Xinniang really liked Xu Lianping.
