Minister Jiang's courtesy name was Xiwen, and the man walking towards him with a cane was named Xie Yanzhou, also known by his courtesy name Yanshu.

"Yanshu." Minister Jiang also called out to him.

After a while, the two sides had approached each other. They were former classmates and had not seen each other for many years. They could not help but look at each other with tacit understanding.

After a moment, Xie Yanzhou smiled with shame, "The younger generation in my family don't know the etiquette, and I rashly invited you here to disturb the minister."

Xie Yanzhou moved his family to the capital and moved into a new house, but he did not send an invitation to Minister Jiang.

It was his son who, seeing that he clearly wanted to invite people but was struggling with it all day, took the initiative to send an invitation to the Jiang family.

Minister Jiang frowned, "So Yanshu doesn't want me to come and congratulate you on your new home. In that case, Xiwen will leave now."

After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Xiwen." Xie Yunzhou hurriedly called out to him.

Jiang Yueyang watched all this silently, thinking to herself that there must be a story between them.

Xie Yanzhou: "I hope you can come. But you are of prominent status now, and I am just..."

"So what?" Minister Jiang interrupted him with a hint of displeasure. "Am I the kind of person who would distance myself from my friends after becoming successful?"

"Of course not! I'm just afraid that our interaction will cause you unnecessary trouble."

"What kind of trouble could it be?" Minister Jiang put his hand on his shoulder. "You just think too much."

"Xiwen, you don't..."

"Stop. I don't want to hear any more of your nonsense. If you don't want me to come in, I'll go back."

At this time, Young Master Xie, who had been observing secretly for a while, hurried over.

"Sir Jiang, the person my father wants to see most after arriving in Beijing is you." Young Master Xie smiled and gestured for him to come in. "Sir, please come in."

Minister Jiang glanced at Xie Yanzhou arrogantly, followed Master Xie inside, and said as he walked: "Yanshu, it is you who I don't understand the etiquette, not your younger generation."

"Uncle Xie." Jiang Yueyang called out to Xie Yanzhou with a smile. Xie Yunzhou looked over at her and said, "Let's go in too."

Xie Yanzhou quickly looked at Jiang Yueyang and asked with a smile, "Are you Xiwen's daughter?"

Jiang Yueyang smiled and nodded, then knelt down to greet him, "Junior Jiang Yueyang greets Uncle Xie."

"Good boy."

The Xie family had just arrived and knew almost no one, so they only invited neighbors and the main branch of the Xie family to the housewarming party.

The banquet was held in the main hall of the Xie family, with male and female guests sitting on both sides, separated by a screen in the middle.

When Jiang Yueyang and Xie Yanzhou walked into the main hall, many people had already gathered around Minister Jiang, the first to be surrounded were the two sons of the eldest wife of the Xie family.

Seeing this, Xie Yanzhou hurriedly walked over with his cane to help Minister Jiang out, "I am honored that you have the honor of visiting my humble home! Everyone, please stop standing and take a seat."

Since the host had spoken, the people surrounding Minister Jiang had no choice but to return to their seats and sit down.

After everyone was seated, Xie Yanzhou saw Jiang Yueyang still standing there, and hurriedly called out, "Xiao Rou."

Jiang Yueyang was standing in a position where he could see the guests on both sides of the screen. On the female side, a girl who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old stood up and said, "Dad."

"Why don't you invite Miss Jiang to the table?"

Hearing this, the girl immediately locked her eyes on Jiang Yueyang, then walked over with a smile on her face.

"Miss Jiang, please follow me."

Jiang Yueyang smiled and nodded, then followed her to the women's side and sat down.

Just now, the female members of the family also heard the conversation of the male guests and learned that the Xie family had invited a minister to the housewarming party. The minister’s surname was Jiang.

Therefore, they knew that the Miss Jiang mentioned by Xie Yanzhou was the daughter of Minister Jiang, a noble lady from the capital.

The status of a noble lady made the female members of the family a little restrained.

Jiang Yueyang noticed their reservedness, smiled slightly, and took the initiative to say: "Yueyang is very happy to be able to attend Uncle Xie's housewarming party today. Everyone doesn't have to be so reserved, just treat it as a family gathering, eat and drink as you should."

Her words were soft and gentle, and she didn't speak in a pretentious manner, which instantly made the women sitting there relax a little.

The Xie family has no mistress, and it has always been the eldest daughter, Xie Xiaorou, who is in charge of household affairs.

Seeing that Jiang Yueyang was approachable, he felt relieved and immediately said, "Everyone, start eating."

After that, she smiled and said to Jiang Yueyang: "Miss Jiang, try this dish, it tastes pretty good."

Jiang Yueyang picked up the chopsticks, took a bite of the dish she mentioned, and nodded, "It's delicious."

She looked at the women present and smiled faintly, "Everyone, start eating. Don't worry about me."

The women nodded in agreement and began to eat, but they ate carefully and in silence.

Later, perhaps to make sure that Jiang Yueyang was not arrogant, a woman asked tentatively: "Miss Jiang is really pretty, I wonder how old she is?"

"I'm sixteen."

"Can you promise it to them?" another woman asked.

"Yes."

"Which man is so lucky?"

Jiang Yueyang smiled and answered openly, "The one I am engaged to is General Lu."

"General Lu?" The woman thought, and the other women present were also thinking, "Isn't that General God of War?"

Jiang Yueyang hummed, "It's him."

"Miss Jiang and General God of War are a perfect match, talented and beautiful."

"Thanks."

After chatting for this while, the female relatives were no longer so reserved towards Jiang Yueyang and their expressions became much more relaxed.

The male guests were very lively. They all wanted to take this opportunity to make friends with Minister Jiang and toast him whenever they found a chance.
