Chapter 38 Distinguished Guests
The things they brought today were all carefully selected by Xia's mother.
"Mrs. Xia is here." As soon as she got out of the car, the Zheng family servant immediately stepped forward to greet her.
Xia's mother took out a few copper coins from her bosom and rewarded him.
"Thank you, Madam Xia. Please come in, Madam Xia."
Today the Zheng family's doors are open, and guests are coming in an endless stream.
"Follow me closely." Everyone had a lot of rules. This wasn't Xia Yutong's first time at such a gathering, so she was quite relaxed.
But Rongrong is different. She is curious about everything.
Besides, Aunt Li’s niece is still waiting for her, so how can she not be anxious?
Follow the Zheng family maid into the backyard.
The Zheng family is indeed a wealthy family. It is really a privilege for the small Xia family to marry into such a family.
Of course, in the eyes of outsiders.
Although the Xia family has established a foothold in South City, they still have their eyes on the real century-old families.
However, since the young lady of the Zheng family has a good relationship with that person, the people below dare not neglect her.
Soon, the maid brought the three of them to Li's courtyard in the backyard.
This was something Li had already arranged.
"My sister, you are finally here." Li Qiu Shuang was so happy to see his favorite elder sister coming over.
"It's your birthday this year, why are you still waiting for me?" Xia's mother joked.
"Of course I'm waiting for you. What's the point of this birthday without you." The disappointment in his eyes could not be hidden.
But in order to avoid being noticed by her good sister, she still greeted her with a smile.
Seeing that there was no outsider in her room, Xia's mother put away the smile on her face: "Why, why are you so unhappy today?" As a good sister, how could she not see through her thoughts.
After Xia Yutong and Xia Yurong entered the room and called Aunt Li, they saw that they had something to talk about, so they followed the girls beside them to play with Li Dandan.
Looking at his sister's two sensible children, Li Qiushuang felt extremely envious.
Touching her belly, she thought it would be a daughter, but unfortunately, God did not favor her.
"Good sister, don't ask anymore. It's just a matter of time anyway." Although the mother-in-law felt uncomfortable doing this, it was not wrong from her point of view.
I am just too useless.
The furnishings in the room were all exquisite, but the two had no intention of appreciating them at the moment.
"Tell me, what's going on?" She knew that the Zheng family had no children and took a concubine at the age of 30, and they had previously said that she was lucky.
But seeing that Zheng Yi was approaching thirty, how could she not worry about her good sister.
Li Qiushuang slowly put away the smile on her face, and said with fatigue and sadness, "Sister, do you think God is punishing me by making me childless for so many years?"
She is in good health, but why can't she get pregnant and have a baby?
Mother Xia sighed, "You, don't think too much, just relax a little. Even if I take a concubine, I will still have to call you mother."
"But I won't accept it." She wasn't willing, she didn't want to, she just wanted a child of her own.
"So what do you think?" Xia's mother knew that she was a strong-willed person. Wasn't she any different back then?
"If there's anything I can do to help you, I'll be happy to help you."
Seeing her good sister's statement, Li Qiushuang smiled and said, "Well, if there is anything I need your help with, I will definitely not be polite to you."
Today, her father-in-law told her that the main purpose of holding her birthday party was to invite a distinguished guest from the imperial city.
But her mother-in-law's behavior made her a little unbelievable.
Just talk about what you can say.
After listening to this, Mother Xia patted the hand she was holding and said, "Don't worry, just think of it as listening to your father-in-law."
"Well, I don't know how many my mother-in-law has her eyes on." She invited all the famous families in Nancheng to come, just like it was her birthday.
Who among those wealthy families would be willing to send their daughter to a merchant's house as a concubine?
Even if it is to be sent, it should be sent to the government.
So the girls who came here were all of lower status than the Zheng family.
On the other side, Li Dandan was so happy to see her good friend coming.
There are also people from the Li family coming today, so there are many people of the same age as Li Dandan in her courtyard.
"Sister Dandan, I missed you so much." Rongrong is a very outgoing person, and without Grandma Zhou around, she relaxed a lot.
Seeing that she was so happy, Xia Yutong didn't insist on breaking the rules.
Just watch her and don't get bullied.
"Rongrong." Li Dandan was as excited as Rongrong when they saw her.
"Sister Xiaotong." Seeing the person following behind her, Li Dandan immediately called out to Xia Yutong.
"Good girl." The little guy was quite adorable. He casually gave her the gift he brought. "This is for you. Open it and see if you like it."
Because Rongrong was young, she made many modern toys for her.
Two years ago, Li Dandan joined the group, and she would always subconsciously prepare one for Rongrong's friend.
"I like it. I like everything Sister Xiaotong gives me." Nothing from Sister Xiaotong is bad.
"Well, go play."
She didn't know most of the people here, or they were younger than her. Even if there were people older than her, she was just an acquaintance at most.
I came to a grape trellis in the yard, where tea sets were placed.
She can have fun alone.
Of course, this was not her first time here, so she was very familiar with the place.
Listening to the cheerful fighting sounds over there, Xia Yutong turned around and smiled.
In the main courtyard.
A very young man sat at the top of the Zheng family.
He drank his tea slowly, as if he couldn't see anyone below him.
Alone and lonely.
He was accompanied by an old man who looked no younger than the Zheng family's master.
Mr. Zheng felt a little restrained. Yes, he was restrained. Even in his own home, he was very restrained.
At this time, Zheng Siyuan walked in.
"Greetings, distinguished guest." He didn't know the origins of the person above, but since his father was so respectful to him, he must be someone from the north.
"Dad, the party is almost over." Almost everyone outside has arrived, and it's time to go out and meet the guests.
Zheng Siyuan was very disgusted with his mother's arrangement, but what could he do?
He couldn't disobey.
He could only ask his father to come forward and talk to his mother.
He likes Qiu Shuang, and he doesn't want to do anything to make Qiu Shuang sad.
Don't worry about having no descendants.
Wasn't his father almost thirty years old when he was born?
Why can’t mother be more considerate of Qiu Shuang?
"My dear master, may we go to the front hall?" Mr. Zheng was extremely respectful to the person sitting at the upper seat.
The superior put down the teacup in his hand and looked at the head of the Zheng family, "No, you go and do your work, I'll just sit in the mansion." It's still hard to say whether this person believes it or not, so he will observe it for a while.
Mr. Zheng has been a businessman for many years, how could he not understand the thoughts of his superiors?
What a pity...
If the master had not left back then, I'm afraid this person wouldn't have suffered so much.
It's normal not to trust yourself.
It proves that he has brains. If he trusts himself so easily, then this person will not be able to reach a high position, and then the master's plan for many years will be in vain.
"Yes, then I'll go to the front hall and take a look." Mr. Zheng said with a smile.
