"Of course I'm your sister." The brothers said in unison.
Mu Chong and a bunch of old foxes were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out of their heads. But after being deeply surprised, they were even more delighted.
No, Dr. Mu Bai is also good!
No matter whether it is Divine Doctor Mu Bai or Divine Doctor Mu Hei, we want them, but the one who is close to the water gets the moon first.
"Brother Jiang, you are so lucky to have found your biological daughter and found a miracle doctor."
"No wonder Madam Jiang treats Miss Jiang like the apple of her eye. Who wouldn't love such an excellent, sensible, polite and beautiful girl?"
"Wan Jie'er! What are you still standing there for? Come here quickly."
The flame of desire for health in Mu Chong's eyes was rekindled like a prairie fire. He pulled Mu Wanbai over and pushed her in front of Jiang Ying.
"Miss Jiang, this old man's granddaughter used to help her father, the National Supervisor, with logistics, and she is also an old acquaintance of your brother, Chen Ge'er."
"In the future, you sisters should spend more time together. Your Mu Mansion has a hundred years of scholarly tradition, and your Jiang Mansion has a hundred years of military tradition. It would be a great help to both the civil and military sides."
At this moment, Mu Chong's throat suddenly stopped itching and his lips stopped trembling.
He said all these words in one breath full of passion, and his words and deeds were no different from promoting his own granddaughter.
Do you want to marry into the Jiang family again?
Not to mention what Jiang Shang and the old lady were thinking, the masters and ladies of the other families beside them couldn't help but reveal a bit of contempt on their faces.
Be rude at first and respectful later, but don’t be too obvious!
Obviously, seeing that the Jiang family gained power, Jiang Yuanchen recovered as before, and there was also a medical expert like Jiang Ying who was working for the family's profit, he changed his attitude again!
Jiang Ying's medical skills are comparable to those of Mu Bai, a genius doctor, which means that all the wealthy families in the capital, unless they have a problem with their brains, will not take the initiative to offend the Duke's Mansion. If there are seriously ill patients in their families, they may even try to curry favor with them.
But when Jiang Yuanchen was stupid before, the Mu family was in a hurry to distance themselves from Mu Wanbai and Jiang Yuanchen. Even at the beginning of the banquet just now, Mu Wanbai even called Jiang Ying for the fake Jiang Yilin. How shameless is that? Did he think everyone was blind?
Mrs. Pei took out a handkerchief and covered her mouth with it. "Hey, how could Mr. Muge start to match up his granddaughter and Mr. Jiang in front of so many people..."
Mu Chong was not embarrassed, instead he stroked his beard as if it was a matter of course, "As the saying goes, men should get married when they are old enough and women should get married when they are old enough. Jiang Xiaolang has not yet been engaged, so how can I not bring them together?"
"I'm afraid that Mr. Mu has good intentions, but Miss Mu doesn't think so. No matter how good Jiang Xiaolang is, how can he compare to the royal family? Besides, if this lady is not mistaken, Miss Mu is referring to the prince, right?"
Mrs. Pei exposed it without any hesitation.
Mu Wanbai knew clearly about Jiang Yuanlang's situation, but she did not support the Jiang family, and chose Yan Zhuo, who was unidentified at the time. This shows that she was not optimistic about the Jiang family at all!
If you don't even give me some face, how can we even talk about marriage?
Mu Chong was frightened to the point of facial expression becoming stiff, and he held his chest with an expression of pain.
Mu Wanbai hurriedly tried to calm him down while standing up pitifully. "I was inconsiderate. Madam Pei, please don't insinuate this onto Grandfather. I'm...I'm...I'm sorry!"
She lowered her head slightly, her voice small and choked with sobs.
Those who didn't know thought she was apologizing for something serious, but those who knew, such as Jiang Ying and Jiang Yuanchen, knew very well that she was embarrassed for having treated Jiang Yuanchen like a dog-skin plaster in the past.
It's a pity that I have become a villain. Is saying sorry enough?
Jiang Yuanchen stepped forward, his attitude distant and cold: "Mr. Mu, please be careful with what you say. You and Miss Mu only lived under the same roof for a short while, and we only met twice more than others. We are not romantically involved. Besides, the Duke's Mansion has been a family of warriors for generations, and they are vulgar and poor. They are not the same kind of people as the noble and far-sighted Scholar's Mansion."
The rejection and disgust are very obvious.
Mu Chong frowned deeply, feeling embarrassed, confused and puzzled.
Mu Wanbai, however, buried her head even lower.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Jiang Shang laughed and said, "It's getting late. This Peking opera is great, but it's a little too noisy. Please move to the flower hall, appreciate the famous calligraphy and paintings, drink tea and eat snacks. When dinner starts, let's get drunk!"
Everything about this homecoming banquet was arranged by Lian.
It is extremely thoughtful, luxurious, and has many items. Anyway, it is guaranteed to make visitors happy for a day and not want to leave.
Minister of Justice Pei Yannan secretly pinched Madam Pei lightly, blaming her for speaking without restraint and making such a mess of the atmosphere.
Looking at Jiang Shang, he acted as a peacemaker and said, "Oh, oh, the weather is really not very good today. It might rain. It would be better if we move to the inner room to appreciate the calligraphy and paintings."
No one had any opinion.
Yue Weimo smiled and ran forward, bowing to Pei Yannan and Jiang Shang, "Uncle and the elders, please move on first. We kids are not done here yet. We still need to share the prizes with Sister Lu's team who just won the bet."
Yue Weimo's father was only a regular supervisor of Qintianjian, while the Shangshu was a regular senior official. Yue Weimo actually dared to speak to Pei Yannan like this. Yue Xuanfeng was sweating on his head.
"How dare you! We are attending a banquet at someone's house, how can you be so carefree as to just have fun?"
The words sounded harsh, but the tone was not harsh at all.
It also makes people feel pampered for no reason.
Yue Xuanfeng was so casual and confident. Although he was not a high-ranking official, he was trusted by the emperor.
Since the previous dynasty, all national festivals, sacrifices, and ceremonies, big or small, were determined by Yue Xuanfeng's fortune-telling.
And no matter whether it is the previous dynasty or the present dynasty, as long as we count the days, they are all sunny and bright and there is no mistake.
People outside joked that Yue Xuanfeng was largely responsible for everything going well for Nan Zhao.
Pei Yannan said nothing, his expression as serious as ever.
Jiang Shang was easy to talk to. "Okay, you girls can play by yourselves, don't be restrained. Let's go, the old men, don't stay here, and make the young ones feel restrained and have no fun."
King Qin stood up and said, "Let's go. I can't sit still any longer. It's better to go indoors, away from the wind and sun."
When the king speaks, the rest of the people don't want to or have any intention to do so.
Lian glanced at the little girls surrounded by flowers. They were all the same age as the flowers.
Smiling, he followed suit, "Then why don't we, the elders and mothers, leave too? We are too old to be with these sixteen-year-old girls. We are bound to be disliked."
She hoped to be with people of her age and have a sense of belonging.
Lian said as she took the lead, and the other old ladies and wives slowly followed.
Madam Zhimu pursed her lips, feeling a little worried about Mu Wanbai, "How about I stay here to accompany you?"
Mu Wanbai lowered her head and clutched her handkerchief tightly. She saw Jiang Yuanchen still standing out of the corner of her eye and shook her head sullenly, "No, you go ahead."
She has something to say to Jiang Yuanchen.
If she was misunderstood before her explanation, would you believe it?
Mu Wanbai thought about it, and the strength in her hands grew stronger. No matter whether she believed it or not, she had to fight for it again!
Strictly speaking, 놛 was also wrong. Why didn't he let people know earlier when he recovered?
If he had said it, then what happened at the Hundred Days Banquet would never have happened!
"Come on, Sister Lu, you guys are so lucky! Now take back your own jewelry and divide the remaining jewelry on the trays. I just counted them, there are 45 pieces in total, exactly 5 pieces for each person, wow, I'm so jealous, why am I not as lucky as you!"
She only saw the lead at that time and didn't think much about it.
Who knew it was such a trap.
Yue Weimo went forward and hugged Jiang Ying's arm, feeling wronged. "Sister Jiang, I'm sorry. You didn't have to lose. It's all my fault."
"It's okay, it's just a piece of jewelry. You lose, you lose, don't take it to heart." Jiang Ying smiled unhappily and patted Yue Weimo's soft little hand.
Yue Weimo was only ten years old, still a bit chubby like a baby, and felt like a monkey to the touch.
Yu Jiang Ying missed her son and looked around for him.
As a result, not far away outside, Yan Zhuo was still holding the child. Not only that, his posture was very standard, like a dedicated father.
The official, sturdy man, serious and statuesque, has a squirming little creature in his arms, pushing his chest with his butt, climbing up his shoulders with a grunt, and finally grabbing a strand of hair by his ear, grumbling and resisting unhappily:
[Don’t be a scumbag father, don’t be a scumbag father, wuwu mother, have you forgotten to be with me? ]
[The scumbag dad has no good eyesight, but he should hurry up and take a look. The silly uncle chose the jewelry of Miss Lu. Then what? Don’t you want to continue to develop a relationship? ]
[Stupid uncle, you really don't want so many good things, but choose the least valuable one. Coincidentally, it seems to be the thing of the illegitimate daughter of the Mu family, and also the girl who was married off by someone else and died inexplicably. If Mu Wanbai knew about this, wouldn't she be in a big fuss? ]
[Wow, I'm so depressed. My mother is watching the fun over there by herself, not caring about her son's life or death.]
[Catch, huhu, grab hard, and make your scumbag dad a bald prince! 】
Just as he saw Lu Yanran walking towards him with two pieces of jewelry, Jiang Ying was amused by her son's inner voice and almost couldn't help laughing.
She suppressed the corners of her mouth that were about to turn up. Lu Yanran came over and handed Jiang Ying a high-quality brocade and a piece of jadeite with good water content in her hand, "Good sister, I would like to thank you again on behalf of your elder brother. Believe me, you have a keen eye. These two are definitely the best of all the prizes. Don't miss them."
Lu Yanran lowered her voice a little when she said the latter sentence, and winked at Jiang Ying while speaking, looking extremely playful and casual.
But she didn't know that the jade was as white as wood.
And that step, as luck would have it, was in Su Yi's direction.
These two people, one is a jade merchant from my maternal grandfather's family, and the other is the niece of the empress dowager, so naturally there is no difference in the things on hand.
But on one point, they would rather destroy or waste it than let their beloved things fall into Jiang Ying's hands!
Seeing this, Mu Wanbai couldn't control herself at all, "No, Lu Yanran, if you win, you can take it. You are not allowed to give it to others!"
