A Yuan walked in holding an invitation.
The twelfth young lady of General Weiyuan's mansion is celebrating her coming-of-age ceremony and invites the young masters and ladies of the Marquis's mansion to a banquet.
Jiang Jiaojiao's eyes lit up. It was so easy! She was just thinking about how to meet the ghost Xiao Twelve!
I'm reminded of that stunningly beautiful face I accidentally knocked unconscious a few days ago.
Maybe he'll go too?
He pulled out a medical book, copied down a prescription specifically for treating coughing up blood and vomiting blood, and for nourishing the body and replenishing deficiencies, and said, "Go to the storeroom and take that ginseng that's three...seven hundred years old, and make it into pills and pack them up."
"Is Miss here to give a gift? That's far too expensive..."
That was the oldest ginseng in the young lady's storeroom; even when the old lady was using it for medicine, the lady herself was reluctant to give it to her.
Jiang Jiaojiao nodded boldly.
At this time in her previous life, she was contemplating suicide to refuse marriage, so she had no intention of attending the banquet. She vaguely remembered that this banquet gave Jiang Xue a chance to shine.
She not only gained the favor of several princes, but even the General's Mansion owed her a huge favor.
This must be what they call the protagonist's halo. Anyway, she's decided that she'll never do anything reckless in this life, and she'll keep her distance from Jiang Xue and stay far away from her protagonist's halo.
The term "protagonist halo" was first introduced to me by the ghost Xiao Jinjin.
Xiao Jinjin told herself that people with protagonist auras are the center of this world, and those who offend her are all vicious female supporting characters who will all have a bad ending.
so……
Acting recklessly will lead to ruin, while lying down and letting things go will ensure safety!
Jiaojiao is going to a banquet.
Jin was overjoyed and moved gold and silver jewelry, silks and satins, into Jinyuyuan for free.
Jiang Xue also received an invitation.
The clothes and jewelry that Ms. Kim sent over were in the plain colors she always preferred.
Jiang Xue was so frightened by Jiang Jiaojiao's words yesterday that she slept with a storybook after returning home, and only then did she feel at ease.
Shu'er added more tea.
Someone chimed in, "Madam has already moved almost half the storeroom's worth of clothes and jewelry there, and she still isn't satisfied. She's even brought in embroiderers from outside, saying she'll rush to make clothes for the young lady overnight!"
"That's too biased."
Jiang Xue's expression changed slightly. In the storybook, Jiang Jiaojiao was a vicious supporting character who served as a foil to the female lead, providing her with dowry and assistance. She wasn't mentioned much, yet she also attended the banquet.
It wasn't mentioned in the storybook, so it must be insignificant...
However, even if she goes, she'll only be there to make up the numbers!
With this in mind, Jiang Xue's brows relaxed, and she carefully perused the medical book in her hands. Saving lives tomorrow was the top priority.
This will be her first step on the path to becoming a medical immortal!
The next day.
Early in the morning, the Jin family prepared the entire chassis.
When Jiang Jiaojiao and Jiang Xue came out, Jin Shi only had eyes for her dazzling daughters, while Jiang Jingtian and Jiang Lingtian, who had been dragged there by Jin Shi, were completely ignored.
"Sister, your clothes are so beautiful. Did Mother have them made for you?"
Jiang Xue said enviously.
Jiang Jiaojiao's outfit was indeed gorgeous and beautiful. The rose-red silk skirt made her skin look like cream and her face like a peach blossom. In particular, the belt wrapped around her slender waist was inlaid with tiny pearls, which was gorgeous and precious, and complemented the pearl hairpin in her hair.
His imposing presence made Jiang Xue's gentle and delicate temperament appear even more like a pitiful little white flower.
Jiang Jingtian glared at Jiang Jiaojiao and said to Madam Jin with dissatisfaction, "Mother—you're being too biased! You give her all the good things, but what about my second sister?"
Jin glared back at her eldest son, who was siding with outsiders.
Looking at Jiang Xue, he said, "Why didn't you wear the clothes and jewelry I sent you yesterday? Don't you like them?"
No...no.
"My daughter feels that today is the twelfth young lady's coming-of-age ceremony, and it's not appropriate to be too ostentatious..."
Jiang Jingtian immediately chimed in, "That's right, you're dressed like this for someone else's coming-of-age ceremony, aren't you afraid of being laughed at!"
Jiang Jiaojiao rolled her eyes at him.
"Miss Twelfth is a very dashing and heroic person."
It's as if people wouldn't laugh at her if she dressed up as a little white flower.
Since everyone's going to laugh at me anyway, I might as well just give up and dress however I want. I'll see if they hate me but can't do anything about it.
Jiang Jingtian rolled his eyes, as if she were very familiar with Miss Twelve.
But with Jin glaring at him from the side, he could only angrily ask his second brother, "Why did you finally decide to go out today? Tell me, what are we men supposed to do at a young lady's coming-of-age ceremony?"
Jiang Lingtian watched Jiang Jiaojiao's dashing figure disappear into the distance, his gloomy eyes lost in thought.
Yesterday, he took the "Leg-Stretching and Eye-Staring Pill" that she had sent him. He thought it was some kind of torturous pill, and that it would be good to sever his relationship with his sister. But unexpectedly... he slept soundly through the night, and he hadn't slept so well in many years.
He understood what his mother meant.
One hoped they would meet a benefactor, and the other... naturally wanted to see if they could find a good match. But he also wanted to see what Jiang Jiaojiao was really up to; he didn't believe she was just attending the banquet.
Jiang Jiaojiao helped Jin Shi into the first carriage.
Jiang Xue was stopped by Granny Zhen, who bowed and said, "Second Miss, your carriage is behind."
There are two more chassis in the back.
One Golden Crow chassis was prepared for the brothers Jiang Jingtian and Jiang Lingtian, while the smaller one was obviously for Jiang Xue.
Jiang Xue bit her lip.
She climbed onto the back of the vehicle, looking pitiful.
Jiang Chengzhu glared angrily at Jiang Jiaojiao, snorted "stingy," and strode into the carriage.
General Weiyuan's Mansion.
The nanny and the steward stepped forward and welcomed the ladies, young ladies, and young masters inside. Jin Shi, accompanied by Jiang Jiaojiao and Jiang Xue, immediately attracted attention.
It's just that... the contrast between Jiang Jiaojiao's dazzling beauty and Jiang Xue's delicate fragility is too great.
The wife of the Left Vice Minister, who was on good terms with the Jin family, came over.
"You look even better than before, Madam. May I ask who this young lady is?"
The wife of the Left Vice Minister did not recognize Jiang Jiaojiao at all.
Madam Jin smiled proudly, "This is my Jiaojiao. Madam, you just met her a few days ago, have you already forgotten?"
These words were spoken.
Everyone stared wide-eyed, their eyes wide with disbelief.
Is this the same fatso who slept with the Seventh Prince a few days ago?!
No way?
The young lady before me, though plump, had a face like a peach blossom and a beautiful appearance; she could hardly be described as fat or ugly! On the contrary, she possessed an imposing air of nobility! How could she resemble a merchant's daughter?
"Jiaojiao?"
The wife of the Left Vice Minister was startled.
But they were all shrewd people, and they quickly realized what was going on, beaming with smiles. "Oh my, Jiaojiao is dressed like a fairy princess today! I didn't even recognize her!"
"As expected of the eldest daughter of the Marquis's family, her grandeur is something my maids could never match!"
The Left Vice Minister came from a poor family, and the woman he married was from a humble background. He had always envied the Jin family's extravagance. The Jin family was also very generous, and every year during festivals, they would casually give gifts that would be enough for the Left Vice Minister's family to spend for half a year. Now, looking at Jiang Jiaojiao's clothes, he felt that they were all glittering with gold and silver.
