Chapter 276 What is the purpose?
"Zhu Xuntao is not afraid of being embarrassed by hosting a Spring Festival Banquet. Can we be more embarrassed than her?"
"Now she belongs to the Yongjing Marquis Mansion. As long as the people in the Yongjing Marquis Mansion can let her do whatever she wants, we will go."
The Yongjing Marquis Mansion abandoned her and chose Zhu Xuntao
. Finally, it was the Yongjing Marquis Mansion's turn to be implicated by Zhu Xuntao.
How could she miss such a good show? She must go!
Madam Sun originally planned to go for Zhu Yingyan. Now that she heard that Zhu Yingyan was going to go, the mother and daughter decided to go to the Spring Festival Banquet.
So, when the Spring Festival Banquet set by Zhu Xuntao arrived, the wives of the officials from various families arrived as scheduled, without a single one absent.
When everyone saw that Madam Sun and Zhu Yingyan were also invited, they were very surprised
. They really couldn't understand Madam Sun and Zhu Xuntao, the mother and daughter.
"Ladies, please come in."
The maids of the Marquis' Mansion were waiting at the door early. No matter when someone came, or if several people came at once,
there would be a corresponding maid to greet them individually, so that no one would be left out.
The ladies were quite satisfied with this arrangement.
Even though Zhu Xuntao was hosting such a banquet for the first time, this arrangement was not considered rude.
"Mother."
Zhu Yingyan followed Madam Sun and looked at the place where the maid took them on purpose.
The place where they were now was extremely spacious.
On both sides were various chairs and tables of different heights, and the chairs and tables were empty, with nothing on them.
Could it be that the cups were placed there for them to drink tea?
Zhu Yingyan didn't understand, so she asked Madam Sun what she saw.
Madam Sun shook her head at Zhu Yingyan. She didn't know Zhu Xuntao very well.
To be honest, she didn't have much contact with Zhu Xuntao.
So, she had no idea what Zhu Xuntao was doing.
"Don't worry."
Zhu Yingyan was able to be patient today.
In Zhu Yingyan's opinion, Zhu Xuntao was just being mysterious.
After a while, she wanted to see how Zhu Xuntao was going to end it.
"Ladies, please have some tea."
After leading the ladies to their seats, the maids brought out the freshly served tea and added hot tea to the ladies.
Bright sunshine, pleasant temperature, and refreshing tea.
For a moment, the atmosphere was quite good.
After taking a sip, Mrs. Ji praised: "Is this tribute tea?" It
is not easy to taste tea like this.
She only had the honor to drink it once when she entered the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the Empress.
If she remembered correctly, the tea that Yongjing Marquis's Mansion brought out this time was exactly the same as the one she drank from the Empress.
"Mrs. Ji is so elegant. These teas are indeed tributes. They are specially given by the Empress to my Crown Prince's Consort."
"Today, all the ladies and ladies are here. Please accept the invitation of my Crown Prince's Consort."
"To thank you, the Crown Prince's Consort has taken out this private collection. I hope you will not dislike it."
"What are you talking about, Crown Prince's Consort?"
Mrs. Ji was shocked and waved her hands quickly.
"If it weren't for the Crown Prince's Consort's help today, we would not have the chance to drink such good tea."
Dislike it?
Who dares to dislike something that the Empress has given?
What's more, this tea is really good tea, which is not easy to drink.
No, I have to drink a few more sips.
If I don't drink it today, I don't know when I can drink the tribute tea that only the Empress can drink next time.
Seeing all the ladies and young ladies tacitly pick up the cups, drink a cup, and then let the maids fill it up,
Madam Sun and Zhu Yingyan were speechless. The mother and daughter tried hard to suppress the jealousy in their hearts, and suppressed it tightly, not letting it come out early.
The tribute tea given to Zhu Xuntao by the Queen Mother was such a great honor.
Therefore, it was really good to be able to marry Xiao Jingzhan.
The Queen Mother gave Zhu Xuntao so much face, was it because Zhu Xuntao was good?
That was because Xiao Jingzhan was the eldest nephew that the Queen Mother valued the most.
The Queen Mother clearly gave Zhu Xuntao some face for Xiao Jingzhan's sake.
Therefore, the truly special one has never been Zhu Xuntao.
No matter who married Xiao Jingzhan, the Empress would treat this woman so well.
In the final analysis, it was the partiality of the old master Zhu who gave such a good fate to Zhu Xuntao.
Thinking of Zhu Yingyan as the eldest daughter, Madam Sun would complain that the old master Zhu was partial to her grandfather.
No matter what, such a good marriage should not be given to Zhu Xuntao, but to her Yan'er.
If Yan'er had married Xiao Jingzhan last year according to the marriage contract between the two families,
it would be her Yan'er who should be sitting in the seat of the head of the family and receiving the flattery of the ladies .
How could it be Zhu Xuntao's turn!
The more Madam Sun thought about it, the more unfair she felt. She wanted to curse the spirit tablet of the old master Zhu for three days and three nights. Zhu
Yingyan also felt bad.
In her previous life, she often heard her mother talk about how good Zhu Xuntao 's life was when she married Xiao Jingzhan.
But in this life, she didn't know what went wrong, and the Yongjing Marquis' Mansion seemed to treat Zhu Xuntao better than in her previous life. At least in her previous life, she had never heard that the queen valued Zhu Xuntao so much. If the queen had something good in her hands, it would be reserved for the prince, and then rewarded to the woman who gave birth to a child for the prince. When she was first diagnosed with pregnancy, she also received a reward from the queen.
How could there be such a big deviation in this life?
Her earlier efforts not only made the people in Yongjing Marquis' Mansion have a very bad impression of Zhu Xuntao,
but even the Queen disliked Zhu Xuntao very much.
So, why was the Queen so nice to Zhu Xuntao? Was it
for the glass?
Well... it's not impossible...
Thinking that Zhu Xuntao might not only make a lot of money with the glass, but also directly buy the hearts of Yongjing Marquis' Mansion and the Queen,
Zhu Yingyan could only sigh and say that Zhu Xuntao was really lucky.
It would be great if something as good as glass was hers.
I just don't know if God is willing to give her another chance to start over since she has not lived a satisfactory life in this life.
If there is, she still has to find a way to find the person who made the glass.
Zhu Xuntao has already risen to the top once with the help of this person, and
the next person who should be so glorious should be someone else.
"Crown Princess."
When Zhu Yingyan was daydreaming, Zhu Xuntao, the host, finally showed up with Yang Xiruo.
Jiang Yijing's generation didn't have the habit of hosting banquets. This banquet
was again organized by Zhu Xuntao, so Jiang Yijing simply handed the burden directly to Zhu Xuntao and Yang Xiruo, and
let these two young daughters-in-law handle and receive.
Anyway, it was the first time, and no one had experience. It didn't matter if they made mistakes. At most, they could correct them next time.
Yang Xiruo, who was a little uneasy at first, felt relieved when she saw Zhu Xuntao smiling as usual.
