The Eldest Sister Who Struck It Rich

The entire village shakes their heads at Zhuang Qingning - an orphaned girl who, after recovering from illness, stubbornly registers as a female household head instead of living with her uncle.

Chapter 427 Useless

I guess she really likes her childhood fiancé.

Zhuang Wencheng was happy because Zhuang Qingning was happy, but he also felt a little sour because of Zhuang Qingning's happiness.

All these feelings mixed together and made me feel very uncomfortable for a while.

However, compared to last time, perhaps because he had been rejected once, Zhuang Wencheng felt that he did not lose his composure as much as last time.

No matter what, I have done what I should do and asked what I should ask, so I guess I have no regrets.

"Then Sister Ning, you go ahead and do your work. I'm going home first." Zhuang Wencheng said.

"Goodbye, Brother Wencheng." Zhuang Qingning saw Zhuang Wencheng out of the yard.

Watching Zhuang Wencheng leave without looking back, Zhuang Qingning felt that he had probably given up.

As I said, a short pain is worse than a long one. Since she is not interested in him, she really can't let Zhuang Wencheng have any illusions about her.

Although this is a bit cruel...

But it must be done!

But having said that, she had told a huge lie today, claiming that she had a childhood engagement. If Zhuang Wencheng really wanted to make a fuss about it, where would she find a childhood engagement for him?

Zhuang Qingning thought about it again and again, and finally found out a certain Five.

[What do you want, host? ]

Didn't you say before that I already have a marriage stone? Why don't you just tell me who my future husband is? In this way, I can find him directly and get it done in one step. Wouldn't it save a lot of trouble?

[What the host said makes a lot of sense! ]

[However... the Marriage Stone will only grow when it senses the host's marriage destiny, and it cannot directly tell me who the host's marriage destiny is. ]

[So, the host still needs to find it himself...]

Zhuang Qingning, "..."

This system is useless!

Everything still depends on her as the host.

Zhuang Qingning fell into deep thought again.

[However, the host can also think about the previous times when the growth of the Marriage Stone triggered the good luck bonus, and what kind of opposite sex you have come into contact with can also be roughly inferred. ]

This sounds simple...

She meets so many people every day, how could she know who triggered the growth of the marriage stone?

However, speaking of contact with the opposite sex, she did think of a way.

[What method? ]

Well... you'll know when the time comes.

Zhuang Qingning chuckled twice and went to tidy up the yard.

It was already late autumn. The roses that once filled the yard had now withered, replaced by brightly blooming chrysanthemums at the base of the wall. The leaves of some fruit trees also began to wither and fell all over the yard.

Zhuang Qingning swept away all the dead leaves. ——The Imperial Palace.

Because the chrysanthemums were in full bloom, the Queen specially set up a chrysanthemum banquet to entertain the concubines and royal relatives in the palace.

On the surface, they said they hadn't seen each other for a long time and wanted to get together more often to have some fun, but for a royal banquet like this, the ladies all knew that it was an opportunity for everyone to find someone of the right age who was unmarried, to act as a matchmaker and build bridges.

Moreover, those who can attend banquets of this level are either royal relatives or important officials in the court, or at the very least people who have gained favor in the eyes of the emperor. Those with too low official positions are immediately screened out, saving the trouble of inquiring about the other party's family background.

Even if you can't find suitable in-laws, letting your children make more good friends will be helpful in the future.

Therefore, everyone who accepted the invitation would try their best to find a good marriage for their children at this banquet. They would dress up carefully and take pains to make friends at this banquet.

This banquet was grand and lively.

"Why don't you go over there and have a few drinks?" Chu Yunzhao saw Chu Jinnian sitting alone in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, so he walked over.

"You also know that I never like this kind of occasion." Chu Jinnian replied calmly.

I really don't like it.

Since Chu Jinnian returned to Beijing, because the Luo family had a solid foundation in the Prince of Qi's Mansion and had Chu Jinzhuo by their side, many people speculated that because Chu Jinnian and the Prince of Qi were not on good terms, the position of the Crown Prince would probably fall to Chu Jinzhuo.

As a result, the sarcastic rumors and the contemptuous looks Chu Jinnian heard in the capital that year were more numerous than the stars in the sky.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

But soon, Chu Jinnian was brought into the palace by Concubine Hui, and even the Queen Mother was very satisfied and valued this grandson. Gradually, the ridicule and contempt turned into flattery and fawning.

It is understandable that Chu Jinnian dislikes the expressions of these people.

If it weren't for the banquet held in the palace and Miss Luo was coming, and if Chu Yunzhao insisted on dragging Chu Jinnian to accompany him, it is estimated that Chu Jinnian would never attend such an occasion.

"But why are you here?" Chu Jinnian glanced at Chu Yunzhao.

Just now I saw that the people around Chu Yunzhao had gone there. I guess they must have gone to invite Miss Luo over. The two of them should find a secluded place to have a good chat, which would also help ease the pain of missing each other.

Chu Yunzhao sighed immediately, "Madam Luo and Miss Luo are being taken by the Queen to appreciate the flowers right now."

"What else can I say? I feel close to Miss Luo when I see her. I also heard that she plays the piano very well. I want to listen to a piece of music later and enjoy the feast for my ears."

"How can this be because they feel that Miss Luo is kind? It's obvious that they saw that I came today and wanted to deliberately annoy me, so they deliberately held Miss Luo back."

"This queen is really good at making trouble for others everywhere!"

Chu Jinnian pursed his lips and looked forward, "Isn't that Mr. Liang?"

Chu Yunzhao also raised his eyes and took a look, "It is indeed Liang Xuelin."

"Concubine Liang has just married into the family, and the Liang family is now in great glory. Liang Xuelin must be very proud of himself at this moment."

"As a younger brother, I am naturally happy to have such a promising sister." Chu Jinnian raised his hand to Jing Zhao beside him, "Go, invite Mr. Liang over, and tell him that the Fourth Prince and I invite him to drink."

"Yes." Jing Zhao took the order and left.

"Why did you invite Liang Xuelin here?" Chu Yunzhao frowned. "Although Lord Liang is very cunning, he is also a very capable person. His performance in office is impeccable. Perhaps because he only has this one son, he dotes on Liang Xuelin a little too much."

"Liang Xuelin looks righteous, but he is actually a dandy boy. He is ignorant and indulges in alcohol and sex. I heard that he has two beautiful concubines outside before getting married. I also heard that Liang Xuelin is vicious and not a good person."

"People like this usually can't even enter the palace, but just because of Concubine Liang, they were invited to the banquet this time."

The implication is that he , the fourth prince, and Chu Jinnian, the prince of Qi, invited such a lowly person to drink, which was really beneath their dignity.
