Chapter 340 I am thinking about my brother the emperor

Mrs. Pei just said it casually, but Chen Jingya's eyes lit up. This is what she has always wanted to do.

But her father did not allow it, so she never mentioned it again. Today is a good opportunity.

Chen Jingya said in surprise: "Mrs. Pei, can I really go to the girls' school?"

Mrs. Pei said: "Why not? If you really want to go, I will tell Lingxi and let you go to help her!"

"Grandma!" Chen Jingya looked at Mrs. Chen coquettishly.

Old Madam Chen doted on these two granddaughters. Today, Old Madam Pei spoke up, so she said, "If Miss Su is willing to accept you, go ahead. I can still make the decision on this matter!"

Chen Jingya was overjoyed: "Thank you, Old Madam Pei, thank you, grandmother!"

Chen Jingshu also smiled, happy for her sister!

Chu followed Su Xiaoxiao's suggestion and added twenty more tables of food, but except for the prime minister's wife, no one else came.

She couldn't help but laugh secretly. What did he, a child, know about hosting a banquet? She shouldn't be so obsessed with fame and fortune.

The maid came quickly and said, "Madam, you are here. There are many people outside, all of them are extraordinary figures!"

Chu didn't have time to think about it and hurried out to greet them.

“The wife of the Secretary of State wishes the old lady a happy birthday!” “The wife

of the Vice Minister of

the Ministry of Revenue wishes the old lady a happy birthday!” “The wife of the Minister of War wishes the old lady a happy birthday!”

“…”

The servants at the door who were welcoming guests shouted until their throats

were hoarse, but the number of people kept coming! All the ladies who were not invited came, and those who received the invitations but did not want to come also came in a hurry after hearing the news.

Because it was the old lady’s birthday and there were no formal invitations, most of the people who came were ladies and young ladies.

Chu and her two sisters-in-law were busy greeting the guests. Chen Kun drank a few rounds of wine with the male guests and hurried back to the study.

Chu had already told him everything about the female soldier. Princess Anle was so attentive, he could not slack off, he had to make up for the princess’s homework!

Many young ladies from aristocratic families also came here. After Yiyi greeted the Prime Minister's wife and Old Madam Chen, Old Madam Pei said,

"Sister, I tell you, let these pretty girls enjoy themselves. It's boring for them to accompany us old ladies!"

Old Madam Chen had heard that the Prime Minister's wife was a straightforward and lovely person, but she didn't expect her to be so casual and had no airs at all when they got along with each other.

She smiled and said, "What the Prime Minister's wife said is very true. The crabapple trees in our backyard are in full bloom. Jingshu, take the young ladies to the backyard to enjoy the flowers!"

Although Chen Jingshu did not often attend banquets of aristocratic families, she was the daughter of a marquis's mansion and was raised according to the standards of a lady from a noble family. She was not afraid of being in front of so many new noble ladies. She stood up gracefully and took the young ladies to the back garden. At the

same time, she ordered the maid to prepare fruit snacks, guqin and pipa, and writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone. It was said

that they were going to enjoy the flowers, so they couldn't just sit there and do nothing. They had to give the young ladies some entertainment.

The rest of the ladies accompanied Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Chen to watch the show and chat.

With the old lady to keep the place in order, the ladies hid their thoughts well, and the scene was full of joy.

But there were always some people who were happy to see the misfortune of others, thinking in their hearts, it has been a long time since so many distinguished guests came to the Guangyi Marquis' Mansion, and many of them came to rebel temporarily. Don't think it's peaceful now, who knows what chaos will happen later.

The Marquis's wife, Mrs. Chu, didn't know if she could host the banquet well, and she hoped it wouldn't become a joke.

Just thinking this, Mrs. Chu brought the other two sisters-in-law to pay their respects to everyone. At the end, the three sisters-in-law sat down and watched the children's play with everyone for a while.

Chen Jingya and Su Xiaoxiao got along very well, and they went to Chen Jingya's small workshop to watch her make those novel treasures.

After the banquet started, everything went smoothly and the standards were very high. The guests were really happy.

Mrs. Pei and Su Xiaoxiao were the last to leave. Mrs. Chen insisted on giving the chair to the old lady who accompanied her. Mrs. Pei knew that it was Chen Jingya's hard work for her grandmother, so she refused to accept it.

Chen Jingya also said: "Grandma, although the location of this person's acupuncture points is roughly the same, but for Old Lady Pei, how can we only make an approximation. Please let me measure you and let Jingya make one for you to show our gratitude!"

Old Lady Pei smiled and said: "You are thoughtful, child. I am old and will take advantage of my age. I will not be polite!"

Now that the rest are her own people, Old Lady Chen is no longer hiding anything. She said gratefully: "The Prime Minister's wife can come here today, which is a great favor to our mansion. To be honest, there are so many brothers and sisters in the mansion who want to find marriage. It's really It is a bit difficult. It's all my fault that I am useless and have not managed this family well!"

Old Madam Pei took Old Madam Chen's hand and said, "Sister, you can't belittle yourself. The children in this mansion have been educated very well. The good days of Guangyi Marquis's Mansion are still to come. In the future, we will visit each other often. I like these two girls in the mansion very much. Besides, don't thank me if you want to thank someone, thank Xiaoxiao!"

Su Xiaoxiao waved her hands quickly: "Don't thank me, I want to thank the Marquis! Grandma, can you take me back? If I go back so late, my mother will be furious again!"

She pulled Old Madam Pei's sleeve, looking pitiful.

"Okay, Grandma will take you back!" Old Madam Pei looked doting.

After bidding farewell to the people from Guangyi Marquis's Mansion, Su Xiaoxiao got on Mrs. Pei's carriage.

"Grandma, can you please not tell my mother that I came to Guangyi Marquis's Mansion for a banquet!" Su Xiaoxiao begged!

Mrs. Pei frowned: "You have been out all day, your mother doesn't know where you went, where did you go originally!"

"To school!" Su Xiaoxiao admitted her guilt very well.

"How did you learn to skip classes? I can't help you with this!" Mrs. Pei pretended to be stern and said, child, don't be too uninhibited.

"I was going to go to the academy, but I couldn't bear to see Marquis Guangyi suffer so badly. His family are all very good people. Even though the late emperor didn't value them, they still worked diligently. I thought they could always help the prince!" Su Xiaoxiao made a high-sounding excuse.

"You can still call him the prince, he is the emperor now!" Old Madam Pei corrected.

"You kid, why do you worry so much about so few people? But you are right. Your great-grandmother Pei often said that the aristocratic families nowadays cooperate with the emperor on the surface, but they are not convinced in their hearts. Your emperor brother really needs his own help. Well, I will talk to your mother. I dare not guarantee whether I will be beaten or not!"

"Thank you, great-grandmother. I know that you are the best!" Su Xiaoxiao's little mouth was as sweet as honey.

With old lady Pei here, mother should not be angry!
