Chapter 69 Coming for Lu Sui
Jiang Yueyao used to run an inn in Sucheng. When she had nothing to do, she learned a few tricks from a fortune teller who lived there for a long time.
The Meng sisters went to greet the guests, and Jiang Yueyao had nothing to do, so she started to read the palm of a girl sitting next to her.
The other person was from the Mansion of the Grand Historian, her name was Pu Lejiao, and her personality was similar to Meng Zhixia, very lively.
"Sister Jiang, please help me find a good marriage partner."
A girl nearby joked, "You've just reached the age of marriage and you're already looking forward to getting married? Don't be ashamed."
"Hehe, that's nothing compared to you getting engaged before you even reach the age of marriage."
"Oh, you little girl..."
Jiang Yueyao asked Pu Lejiao to spread out her right hand. She gently held her palm and gently tapped the marriage line with her fair fingers. "Miss Pu, your marriage line is very good, but fate will come later. Around the age of eighteen, your destined man will appear. But after you marry him, you will be happy. Look here," she explained to Pu Lejiao, pointing to a line next to her palm. "You will have two children, most likely a son and a daughter. Your children will be filial, and you will have a comfortable old age."
Pu Lejiao was overjoyed when she heard this.
"Eighteen years old? And have a son and a daughter? Oh my god, will they really be happy, Sister Jiang?"
"Judging from your current palm, it is like this."
The other girls nearby also reached out their hands after hearing this.
"Yaoyao, can you help me take a look..."
"Oh, I'll go first. Yaoyao, you help me first."
"No, no, I came here first, I want to see first..."
As soon as Pei Yunjin entered the garden, he saw Jiang Yunyao surrounded by people.
It was very strange. She had clearly seen her once before, but at this moment, she saw her at a glance among the huge crowd.
She had only met her once, but she had left a deep impression on her.
Pei Yunjin really didn't like this feeling.
As the legitimate daughter of the prime minister, she was also known as the "most talented woman in the capital". She was always pursued and praised by others, and others always came to her. What others said to her was dispensable and could be remembered or not.
When someone caught my eye, I smiled and exchanged a few words.
If you don't like someone, naturally you won't even want to give them a glance.
She was qualified. In the entire Daye Dynasty, her father was the only prime minister. He was second only to the emperor and above everyone else. He was powerful and had a distinguished background. No one dared to look down on him.
But today, because of a small restaurant owner, she actually dressed up and went out of the house just to see her.
Let’s see what kind of magic she used to make the Grand Tutor treat her differently.
Jiang Yueyao is dressed more carefully today than she was yesterday when she was wearing a simple skirt.
A light blue long skirt with a moon orange summer shirt with a front opening is an extremely bright combination of two colors. Very few people in Beijing dare to go out wearing it like this. After all, not every girl can have both "fair skin" and "beautiful looks" at the same time.
This bright color can only look good on people with very fair skin.
Today she still had her hair in double buns, but unlike yesterday's simple style, a coral-red beaded hairpin was inserted diagonally between her raven-black buns, and she also wore a few thumb-sized peony hairpins on the side, which added a touch of charm.
Pei Yunjin subconsciously lowered her head and glanced at her pomegranate red dress.
Everyone said that she looked extremely good in red because of her fair skin, but today, she dressed up specially, but in front of Jiang Yueyao, she felt like a clown.
An inexplicable feeling of shame and anger surged in Pei Yunjin's heart, and he wanted to turn around and leave, but he endured it and finally restrained himself.
Pei Yunzhu had never seen Jiang Yueyao, but looking at the woman surrounded by the crowd, she instinctively knew it was her.
I couldn't help but speak.
"Is this a night market? Why is there a fortune teller?"
Jiang Yueyao was talking carefully to a girl's palm. Everyone was listening with great interest when a discordant voice came from the side.
Everyone turned around and saw the Pei sisters standing two steps away.
The girl who came to the banquet today had a family background comparable to the Meng family. Her father was mostly a fourth or fifth rank official in the court, and she usually did not interact with the two sisters of the Pei family.
Everyone was quite surprised to see the two of them at this moment.
Seeing that no one said anything, Meng Zhiye stepped forward and said to everyone with a smile, "Today is my coming-of-age day. I didn't expect the two girls from the Pei family to come. It's truly an honor."
She pointed to a seat beside her and said to Pei Yunjin, "Miss Pei, please sit down first. I'll ask someone to make some new tea."
Pei Yunjin smiled slightly and sat down.
Pei Yunzhu walked up to Jiang Yueyao, and seeing that she was still sitting there motionless, she frowned.
"Who are you? Why don't you stand up when you see us?"
Jiang Yueyao really didn't react.
She was reading someone's palm just a second ago, and was talking very attentively when she suddenly looked up and saw two more people in the garden.
She didn't know the Pei sisters.
The last time she was rowing a dragon boat, she only saw a woman standing in front of Lu Sui's carriage from a distance. As for what the woman looked like, she had no idea.
Yesterday at the Jinzhuangmanyu, she was attracted by the jewellery on the counter as soon as she entered. How could she have the heart to look at other people?
But at this moment, the other party stood in front of her with a condescending look and said this in an aggressive manner.
Three words immediately rang in her mind: Not to be trifled with!
So he quickly stood up and bowed politely.
"Yueyao has met the girl."
Pei Yunzhu asked her: "Do you know me?"
Jiang Yueyao straightened up, looked up at her, and shook her head honestly.
"I don't think I've seen a girl before..."
"Humph, you don't know me, but I know you." Pei Yunzhu raised her chin and looked at her with disdain. "I heard that Wanhelou has a female manager, but you?"
"It's me." Facing the other party's inexplicable hostility, Jiang Yueyao looked puzzled, "Miss, do you have something to ask me?"
"Of course..." Pei Yunzhu just opened her mouth when she was interrupted by Pei Yunjin beside her.
She stood up with a smile and walked in front of Jiang Yueyao with a decent smile on her face.
"She doesn't have anything to do. She just heard that the owner of Wanhelou is very capable, so she's curious." She pulled Pei Yunzhu behind her and gave her a look that said 'shut up'. Then she looked at Jiang Yueyao, "I didn't expect that the owner Jiang was also at the Meng Mansion today."
"Yes, today is the Fourth Young Lady's coming-of-age ceremony, and I'm honored to be invited to attend."
Pei Yunjin nodded slightly: "I heard that Wanhelou has recently introduced a lot of new dishes. When I have time, I must go and try them."
Without waiting for Jiang Yueyao to respond, she spoke again.
"From the girl's accent, she doesn't seem to be from Beijing?"
"I'm from Sucheng and just came to the capital not long ago."
"Miss Jiang is quite lucky. I just recently learned that Wanhe Tower is owned by Lord Lu," Pei Yunjin looked at her and asked casually, "Are you a distant relative of his?"
Only if there is some connection between us would we be confident in handing over such a large industry to her.
The moment the three words "Lord Lu" came out of the other person's mouth, the fog in Jiang Yueyao's mind suddenly dissipated.
So, after all this time, you came here just for Lu Sui?
