At some important banquets hosted by high-ranking families, the Pei brothers would also bring Qiao Lian'er along so that she could see more of the nobles in the capital.
Qiao Lian'er has a good memory; she can remember many people after hearing them only once.
She was polite, modest, and tried her best not to stand out, which earned her a lot of goodwill.
If anyone tries to make things difficult for her, the Pei brothers will protect her.
Qiao Lian'er had an idea and asked to be taken to more noble gatherings.
Pei Zhujin was somewhat surprised. Qiao Lian'er didn't talk much at the banquet, and he was wondering if bringing her along would disturb her.
Seeing his confusion, Qiao Lian'er said, "Young Master, I have some goods that are perfect for selling to powerful families."
These wealthy families could never spend all their wealth in eight lifetimes. If they became her main clients, they would surely bring her a continuous stream of riches.
After seeing the housing prices in Beijing, she realized how insignificant she was; she couldn't even afford a nice house facing the street.
Pei Zhujin immediately understood; it turned out it was for business. No wonder Miss Qiao had suddenly become so enthusiastic.
He immediately agreed, saying, "The capital city is not only home to royalty and prominent families, but also rising stars and many wealthy merchants. Since you have a need, I will take you to any of them who have sent an invitation."
Otherwise, unless they are very close friends, he will make an excuse to decline.
The next day, while the group was riding horses at the Pei family's horse farm, an invitation was delivered by their subordinates.
Pei Zhujin smiled upon seeing this: "This is an invitation from the Heng Prince's Mansion. The Heng Prince's Mansion has planted several kinds of peonies in its large garden, and they are all in full bloom now, which is the perfect season for viewing them. Every year at this time, the Heng Prince's Mansion sends out invitations."
"Will there be a lot of people?" Qiao Lian'er asked.
"Families of the fourth rank or above will receive an invitation."
Those were huge, fat sheep! Qiao Lian'er almost drooled.
Qiao Lian'er is a county princess, and a thirteen-year-old one at that, a status earned through merit. Such a garden party is only suitable for her to attend alone.
Qiao Dacheng and Qiao Zhizhi asked Pei Shijiu to play with them.
Pei Shijiu is still decorating the house, and now, the progress is finally more than halfway done.
He wouldn't let Qiao Lian'er go see it, only saying he'd give her a surprise later.
"Big brother, I want to go to the garden party too. Let Sister Rong go with them." Pei Shijiu said, "I go to see the peonies every year, and I can't miss it this year."
Prince Pei has a younger brother born out of wedlock, who is a Lieutenant General. After the family divided their property, he was allocated a house just one street away. He had three sons and one daughter. His daughter is named Pei Qingrong, and she just turned sixteen this year.
Other women born out of wedlock might feel inferior when they see legitimate children, but she was naturally lively and optimistic, and loved to play, so she often came to visit the two brothers.
She went to her maternal grandmother's house in the outer city during this period and only returned the day before yesterday.
Pei Shijiu sent someone to invite her over and explained his intentions.
"It's a small matter."
Pei Qingrong readily agreed, looked at the brother and sister, and smiled: "Leave it to me, come with me, I guarantee you'll have a great time."
This girl has a beautiful face, bright eyes and white teeth. When she speaks, her eyes sparkle, and her smile is even more captivating.
Da Cheng was stunned for a moment, as if something had stirred within him.
