Jia Hui's mother was an efficient person. As soon as she received her daughter's letter, she took action. Soon, Jia Hui's cousin came to stay for a while.
This is not a big deal; it's quite common in the backyard. However, because of Jia Hui's secret rendezvous with her cousin, although no one dared to mention it openly, many people were secretly wondering if the Fujin (princess's wife) wanted her eldest daughter and her cousin to get together.
Jia Hui also noticed the gossip in the backyard. She sneered inwardly but made no comment.
Jia Hui's cousin is named Hong Yu. It's a nice-sounding name. If he doesn't speak, people might think he's a carefully groomed young nobleman.
Of course, the premise is that you can't speak.
Jia Hui's cousin isn't a bad person, but he's not exactly a good one either. He's particularly fond of flirting and never acts serious.
Hongyu was a little surprised when he learned from his mother that his uncle had asked him to stay over for a while. After his mother explained, he understood that it meant they were getting married.
He had no objection; his cousin's appearance matched his aesthetic preferences quite well. As for family background, if the two families weren't related, they probably wouldn't even have any contact.
He had nothing to complain about, so he left happily.
Hong Yu went to Hesheli's house for two or three days, but he didn't even get to see his cousin whom he had been longing to see. He felt a little bad and a little anxious.
He couldn't sit still in his anxiety, so he sent someone to deliver a message to Jia Hui.
Hong Yu had done this before. He liked to use sweet talk, and Jia Hui was a very "naive" girl who was easily swayed by his flattery.
Hong Yu knew in his heart that although he and Jia Hui had been seen meeting in private and their relationship seemed ambiguous, in reality, they didn't have any substantial relationship.
The fact that the two met that day was indeed somewhat of a coincidence. Now he wanted to ask Jia Hui out, as he hadn't seen his cousin for quite some time and missed her.
When Jia Hui received Hong Yu's letter, she didn't take it seriously. She had someone burn the note and then went about her business.
A few days later, Hong Yu really couldn't sit still any longer. He came, but no one was there. They left him hanging. What kind of nonsense was this?
Hong Yu's expression was grim: "Have you found out what my cousin has been doing lately?"
Hong Yu's servant quickly relayed the information he had gathered: "Your Majesty, I have learned that Miss Biao has been studying etiquette in her room recently, which I heard was at the young lady's behest."
Hong Yu was speechless. Since it was his uncle's idea, he wasn't in a hurry. What was his was his, and it wouldn't run away anyway.
Seeing that his temper had improved, the servant continued, "Master, I have also learned that Miss Biao is going to hold a flower viewing banquet soon. It is impossible for Miss Biao not to show up. If you want to see Miss Biao, this may be a good opportunity."
Hong Yu smiled and nodded, indicating that this was a good idea.
Jia Hui: "My cousin knows."
"I understand, but this servant doesn't quite understand why Master is doing this?"
Jia Hui didn't answer, only saying, "It's nothing, you can go now."
This flower-viewing party was Jia Hui's idea, and the invitees were all close friends and family. This flower-viewing party was the perfect opportunity for her to get rid of that cousin.
Jiayi felt uneasy when Jiahui sent her new clothes and jewelry. She suspected that sending such things out of the blue was either a hoax or a theft.
Jiayi felt a little flustered. It's no wonder she was timid. Growing up, she and her elder sister, while not exactly at odds, were always comparing themselves. Now that she was being given so many nice things, it was no wonder she felt uneasy.
Jiayi felt uneasy, so she went to find her aunt.
Her aunt comforted her, "Since it's from your eldest sister, just accept it without worry. I've already heard that the Fujin (princess) intends to matchmake your eldest sister with her nephew. Your eldest sister said you should wear it to the flower viewing banquet, perhaps to show that she's kind to people. Don't worry."
Jiayi was somewhat relieved.
However, she felt something was off. She thought she might have a masochistic streak, because her older sister was acting so abnormally.
