Chapter 671 673. Gossip
Liang Feiling was filled with joy. He turned to show it to Liang Heshi. When she nodded slightly, he grinned.
He closed the box carefully, held it tightly in his arms, and said sincerely, "I like your gift very much, Madam. Thank you very much."
Jin Qianqian smiled and said, "As long as Master Cen likes it."
Liang He just took a look and knew that Jin Qianqian had put a lot of thought into preparing this gift.
"Mrs. Gu is thoughtful."
Jin Qianqian, "As long as the child likes it."
"I'm late," Zhang Guihong also came over under the leadership of the maid, with Cen Yueqin also following behind her.
"Greetings, ladies." Zhang Guihong greeted everyone with a smile. Since she came to Yongchang County, she has always attended every invitation and soon got to know so many people.
"Hello, Madam Liang." She immediately spotted Jin Qianqian, who was sitting next to Liang He. "Madam Gu, we meet again."
Seeing that she was still dressed as always, Jin Qianqian smiled at her in a friendly manner.
Liang He said, "Mrs. Cen, please take a seat quickly. Is this your daughter behind you?"
Cen Yueqin took a small step forward and said, "Cen Yueqin, greetings to all the ladies."
"Mrs. Cen is so lucky to have such a lovely little girl. I wonder how sweet her life will be." Liang He took off a bracelet from her hand after saying this. "This is the first time we meet, you can wear it for fun."
Jin Qianqian also took a jade pendant from Lichun, "We were in a hurry to meet last time, so I didn't have time to give you a gift. Take this with you for fun."
At Zhang Guihong's signal, Cen Yueqin took a step forward, took the thing in her hands, and bowed to express her gratitude.
Liang He called her niece over and said, "This is my niece He Xiaoyu from my mother's family. You girls can go play together."
After Jin Qianqian and everyone else gave each other greeting gifts, the formal banquet began.
"We were still talking about why you haven't arrived yet? Was something delaying you?" Mrs. Wu patted the seat next to her and asked Zhang Guihong to sit with her.
Zhang Guihong was not shy and walked over to sit down. "I was delayed on my way out. Sorry to have kept you waiting."
She really didn't expect to be the last one to show up. It was because Aunt Lan in the mansion was not a good person and caused some trouble when she was about to go out.
"All of this is understandable. We have a huge mess at home and outside, but some people still don't give up." This immediately opened up the topic, and everyone started talking about their own difficulties at home.
Anyway, when a group of women get together, they either talk about dressing up or about things happening in the backyard.
When everyone talked about Aunt Lan, the wives sitting there all looked at her with contempt.
If Zhang Guihong hadn't come and they hadn't known about the situation, they might have really treated Aunt Lan as Madam Cen.
"You don't know, before you came, we also sent an invitation to your house, and that concubine Lan actually accepted the invitation and accepted the invitation." Mrs. Guo shook her head and said, "We didn't know at the time, you can't blame us."
"How can I blame you? It was my house that had such an unruly thing.
I told our master about this, but he didn't investigate it at all, allowing this bitch to take advantage of it."
You still have to maintain your reputation in public. Although everyone knows what the situation is inside, you still have to look presentable on the surface.
"It's the same for everyone. There are a lot of troubles in the mansion." Mrs. Wu said this and looked at Jin Qianqian, "Madam Gu, it's more peaceful here. I heard that Lord Gu will take you to your post this time.
I don't know how you manage your backyard, I really want to learn from you."
This question was asked with some ill intentions. Jin Qianqian looked at everyone looking at her, covered her mouth and laughed, "I really don't have any experience in this matter.
I guess the ladies are far away and haven’t heard of it yet.
My master has a clan rule that a man can take a concubine only if he is 40 and has no children. I am lucky, but my master is not so lucky. "
Everyone was shocked, even Liang He was a little envious. She married into the Liang family as a young girl. Although she was given a noble title as soon as she entered the family, there were also old and new concubines in the mansion, and there were many troubles in the backyard.
"Is there really such a rule?" Someone exclaimed.
Jin Qianqian, "Of course, I can't just make up this excuse to deceive everyone."
Everyone was just a little surprised when they first heard about such a rule, and they really didn't question the truth of the news.
Even if Jin Qianqian had great courage, she would not dare to joke about the rules of a clan.
"That's great." The women present all felt particularly uncomfortable.
They compete with the little goblins in the backyard every day, but some people live so freely.
"What if someone violates it?"
Jin Qianqian would not elaborate here, "Then naturally the clan's rules will handle it."
"That's great," Mrs. Wu said with envy, and then her eyes lit up as she looked at Jin Qianqian, "I wonder if Lord Gu has any unmarried brothers in his family?"
If there really is such a good rule, it can be used to connect the marriage.
The eyes of others also became excited. Which family doesn't have a girl of marriageable age? This is a good place to go.
Jin Qianqian shook her head. "I'm afraid I've disappointed you all. My husband is the seventh child in the family and has no brothers or sisters."
As for Gu Laoyao who was kicked out of the house, there is no need to mention him.
After hearing this, everyone felt a little disappointed and regretful. It was a pity that Madam Gu's two legitimate sons were young and there was no suitable child in the mansion.
Knowing that there was no hope here, everyone stopped talking about this topic and started talking about fashionable fabrics.
After eating snacks, we were treated to another delicious meal, and today's banquet ended.
Jin Qianqian leaned against the carriage and stretched her arms, "How has Minghai been preparing these days?"
Lichun, "I've already found a good location, but the shop is not very ideal. If I want to turn it into a restaurant, I guess I'll have to tear it down and rebuild it."
Jin Qianqian, "Go back home later and ask him to come over and reply."
She didn't want to be busy in the backyard all day, so she had to do something on hand so that she would have an excuse to refuse when the time came.
Lichun responded, "Today, several young masters of the Gu family stopped me and wanted me to help them find out if the Madam has any plans for them going forward.
They feel that walking around the streets is not a big deal and want to find something to do.”
Jin Qianqian, "I didn't expect that they couldn't help themselves first. Let them come to the backyard early tomorrow morning. They have been idle for such a long time, it's time to find something for them to do."
beginning of spring,"……"
Jin Qianqian didn't say anything either. She had been outside all day dealing with those women gossiping about her. Not only was she physically and mentally exhausted, but her head was also swollen.
At the same time, she also figured it out in her mind. Mrs. Liang was so enthusiastic towards her at the beginning. In addition to wanting to make friends, she must have her sights on the two children.
I really don't know where she got the confidence to let her two legitimate sons be playmates for her child.
