Chapter 9: The Four Beauties of Beijing

Speaking of his second son, Jiang Fulu was deeply worried: "Your second brother has already passed the age of twenty, and he has not married yet. When will your father and mother be able to hold a granddaughter?"

It's not a grandson, it's a granddaughter.

Compared to the troublesome mud monkey who rolls in the dirt all day, Jiang Fulu prefers his delicate granddaughter.

Of course, the Jiang family has a long history, so it is very important who between Jiang Huaida and Jiang Huaiqing gives birth to a granddaughter first.

Little Chen touched her belly and lamented why she was not destined to have a daughter.

"Dad, my little sister's belly is not moving."

Xiao Chen reminded Jiang Fulu that she was worried that Jiang Yuzhu would be suspicious and it would be bad if there was a misunderstanding.

Jiang Fulu nodded hurriedly and said, "Yuzhu, Daddy is not rushing you, you don't have to give birth. Giving birth to a woman is like going through hell, and Daddy and Mommy can't bear the slightest blow."

Chen also said: "That's right, giving birth is so painful, how can my Yuzhu suffer this?"

Besides, the child is the descendant of the Xie family, why should Xie Zhao get the upper hand?

Xiao Chen added: "Little sister, Jinbao is close to you, so you won't be worried that no one will take care of you in your old age."

If we can't rely on the Xie family, we still have the Jiang family as a strong backing.

Jiang Yuzhu felt a little embarrassed. Not only did she suck the blood of her parents, brother and sister-in-law, but she even spared her little nephew?

The group pet is so scary.

The Jiang family members have relatively normal brains, but as long as Jiang Yuzhu is involved, they will go astray infinitely.

After dinner, Jiang Yuzhu accompanied her parents to the garden for a walk to help digest the food.

Manager Jiang came back and reported, "Master, Madam, Liang An, the servant from the Xie Mansion, is here to deliver the invitation to the young lady."

Chen took it, glanced at it quickly, and showed disdain on her face.

“Which post?”

The Jiang family has a large greenhouse, which not only has flowers and plants but also fresh vegetables in winter.

At this moment, Jiang Fulu was sitting in the tea room in the greenhouse, tasting the tea that his daughter gave him.

Chen was not interested: "It was the mother of Prime Minister Wei who was celebrating her sixtieth birthday. She invited people she knew in the capital to visit her at her villa in the suburbs."

In the afternoon, the Jiang family received the invitation, which was thrown directly into the trash can by Chen.

The Wei family is a family of scholars who pride themselves on their noble character. They are usually in two different camps with the Jiang family.

Chen didn't want to give this kind of face.

Jiang Yuzhu pondered for a moment and said, "Manager Jiang, please tell Liang An that I will be there on time and bring cousin Shen to celebrate the birthday."

Just as Manager Jiang was about to leave, Jiang Yuzhu said, "Tell Xie Zhao to prepare birthday gifts."

Since it’s a birthday celebration, it’s not good to go empty-handed.

Jiang Yuzhu didn't want to spend any time thinking about the gifts.

The Wei family hired someone for the sake of the Xie family's face. Wei Zhuang is Xie Zhao's mentor, so they have to give him this bit of face.

It was just a formality, there was no need for Jiang Yuzhu to embarrass the male lead.

Only when the male protagonist is promoted step by step, the positions of the Jiang family will be more difficult to be replaced.

In addition, Jiang Yuzhu had another little idea.

I heard that Wei Jing is Xie Zhao's white moonlight, and there is also Shen Zhilan who suddenly appeared. Both of them are unable to get Xie Zhao. Is it going to be exciting to watch?

Some social engagements cannot be avoided.

After staying at the Jiang family for a few days, Jiang Yuzhu experienced what it was like to be treated like a national treasure. From her relatives to the servants, everyone took care of her meticulously.

Early in the morning on the third day of the twelfth lunar month, a carriage came to the Xie Mansion to pick someone up.

Jiang Yuzhu brought Hongli and Hongfeng and met Shen Zhilan in the carriage.

Shen Zhilan put on a little makeup, but she looked like she had dressed up carefully. She twisted her handkerchief nervously and said, "Cousin, is it appropriate for me to go to the Wei family to celebrate the birthday?"

When Shen Zhilan got the news two days ago, she couldn't believe it. How could Jiang Yuzhu be willing to take her with her?

After thinking it over, Shen Zhilan couldn't figure out the routine, but deep down, she was very willing to see the world.

After all, Shen Zhilan needs to meet her love rival Wei Jing to know herself and her enemy.

After Jiang Yuzhu died in the previous life, my cousin Xie Zhao never married.

Shen Zhilan was curious about what kind of strengths this woman had that Xie Zhao cared so much about.

Jiang Yuzhu yawned and said absentmindedly, "It's appropriate. What's wrong with it?"

Shen Zhilan thanked him in a low voice, and then fell silent.

The carriage went all the way to the suburbs and stopped in front of the Wei family's villa.

There is a natural artificial lake in the Wei family's villa, which covers a very large area.

After entering the door, there is still some distance to go before changing to the Wei family's carriage to pick people up.

Hongli sent the invitation and registered the birthday gift. The steward of the inner court of the Wei Mansion came out quickly to receive the guests.

"Madam Xie, Miss Shen, I am sorry for not coming to greet you. Please come and see us."

The Wei family’s birthday banquet was held by the lake.

It was still early and dozens of ladies had already gathered.

People gathered in groups of three or five to talk, and each had his own circle.

When Zhao Fendie saw Jiang Yuzhu, she happily went to greet her: "I heard you say you were coming to the birthday banquet, otherwise I wouldn't have come."

In the distance, Wei Jing was wearing a pastel pink dress and moving among the crowd, very eye-catching.

Zhao Fendie rolled her eyes and turned her head away, disgust in her eyes was obvious: "Yuzhu, Wei Jing can only recite a few sour poems. My cousin is still not getting married for her even though he is over 20 years old. He said he would not give up."

Zhao Fendie's cousin Zhao Zhe devoted his heart to Wei Jing.

As long as Wei Jing is not engaged, Zhao Zhe will stay with her, a complete love-struck man.

"My cousin is in his twenties, and my uncle has gray hair from worry. You said Wei Jing would rather be an old maid and covet Lord Xie. Can't she have some shame? She is the daughter of the Prime Minister, well-educated and well-mannered, why would she do such a shameless thing?"

Zhao Fendie's personality is very similar to the original owner, which proves the saying that birds of a feather flock together.

"Wei Jing only picks second-hand goods. Maybe she has some kind of habit?"

When the hobby was mentioned, Jiang Yuzhu twitched her lips and said, "You are wrongly accusing her. Xie Zhao is a first-hand product, brand new. I have never used it."

The couple wished they could be thousands of miles apart, and Jiang Yuzhu had nothing to hide.

Zhao Fendie was an insider. She hesitated for a moment and nodded. She pointed at the pavilion and said, "That's Xie Zhao's cousin, right? How did she get in there?"

"When rivals meet, they are extremely jealous and naturally want to test each other."

Jiang Yuzhu had no intention of observing Shen Zhilan, as her small group had all arrived.

In addition to Zhao Fendie, there are also Qiao Ying and Yu Jiaojiao.

Qiao Ying is frail, Yu Jiaojiao is pretentious, and the four of them each have their shortcomings, but they shamelessly gave themselves a nickname, the Four Beauties of Beijing.

The four beauties have all gotten married, but their steps are surprisingly consistent.

After everyone gathered, Yu Jiaojiao twisted her waist and said in a slightly artificial voice: "This is a skirt ordered from Jiangnan Jinxiufang. How is it?"

Zhao Fendie narrowed her eyes and said, "It looks good, but is your waist getting thicker?"

"real?"

Yu Jiaojiao's face turned pale and she pinched her waist, and indeed, flesh came out.

Now, she looked depressed, as if a frost had hit an eggplant.

Among everyone, Yu Jiaojiao loves beauty the most, and all her private money throughout the year is spent on clothes and jewelry.

Qiao Ying laughed secretly and said, "Your dress is beautiful, but it can't compare to Wei Jing's. I asked, and there is only this one."

After hearing this, Yu Jiaojiao became even angrier.

Jiang Yuzhu watched from the sidelines and realized that things were not peaceful within her small group. It looked like they were about to start an internal conflict!

"Madam, it's bad. Miss Wei was pushed into the lake by Miss Cousin!"

Before Jiang Yuzhu could start preaching, Hongli came hurriedly and whispered in her ear.
