Chapter 564 This name sounds really nice
The elderly often say that a quilt is like a child's guardian angel, and covering the child with it can keep the child safe and healthy, free from illness and disaster. Therefore, a quilt is the most sincere blessing for children.
It is made up of pieces of cloth of the same size. Just as the name suggests, it is made up of a total of one hundred pieces of cloth.
Qiao Jingru looked at the quilt in front of her flattered, her eyes moving slightly.
"Thank you, Sister Shen. This must have taken a lot of thought from you."
It is not difficult to order people to collect these fabrics, but what is difficult is her thought and it is extremely precious. Chen Pin did this because he loves her and loves her dog.
Seeing Qiao Jingru's genuine love, Chen Pin felt that the gift was worth it.
"It didn't take much thought. I asked the servants to collect the fabrics, but I picked them out piece by piece. The ones that didn't look good were definitely not used. I'm not good at sewing, so don't look down on me for not looking good. Although the maids helped, most of them were made by me."
"How could I dislike it? I like it very much. When the child is born, I will cover him with it, and he will be filled with the love and care of his second aunt."
Second aunt...
Shen Pin pursed his lips shyly.
Oh, that's a nice name.
Qiao Jingru asked Liangchen to put away the quilts carefully.
"There is also Lu Xiang's gift. She was granted marriage to the Eighth Prince. This is a big deal. I have to curry favor with her." Chen Pin suddenly said.
He said flattering words with a joking look on his face.
Qiao Jingru smiled and said, "What a coincidence. She and Lu Qiao went to the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion for a banquet and had just left when you arrived."
"Marquis Wu'an's Mansion? The He family? Why did they suddenly hold a banquet?" Shen Pin asked puzzled.
She was not familiar with the young lady of Wu'an Marquis's Mansion, so she never paid attention to her.
"Well, it's the old lady's sixtieth birthday in the Marquis' Mansion. Xiangxiang and He Zhiyan are good friends, so she was specially invited to attend the birthday banquet."
Shen Pin nodded without much interest: "Since she is not here, then you can pass it to her for me."
"Okay." Qiao Jingru nodded: "Then I'll thank you on behalf of Xiangxiang."
It was Madam He's 60th birthday and guests came in an endless stream. He Xiong's mansion was adjacent to the Marquis' Mansion, and the old lady lived in the Marquis' Mansion with He Yu, so the birthday banquet was naturally held in the Marquis' Mansion.
There has been a constant stream of traffic in front of Wu'an Marquis's Mansion, and it has not stopped since morning.
The wife of Marquis Wu'an was so busy receiving guests that she was dizzy.
"Where is Mrs. Luo? Why doesn't she come to help entertain the guests at this time?" Lady Wu'an Hou took the opportunity to drink a cup of tea and asked with an unhappy look on her face.
The maid at the side quickly replied: "Madam, the second lady went to the old lady's place."
"Bitch, she's really good at cheating. It turns out that there are no guests from their second house." Wu'an Marquis's wife gritted her teeth and angrily said, wishing she could drive out the guests invited by the second house: "Go, call Luo to me, she can entertain the guests from their second house herself, if she doesn't come, don't blame me for being ruthless."
It would be fine if she didn't want to pay, but she doesn't even want to contribute. How beautiful she is.
He Zhimin sat down on a chair beside him in a low mood, curled his lips and said, "Mom, I'm tired, I want to go back and rest."
"My dear daughter, you are not a child anymore. You must perform well today and let them see your excellence." Lady Wu'an Hou coaxed hurriedly.
He Zhimin rolled her eyes: "What's the use of them seeing it? Mom, look for yourself to see who are the people here?"
They are all people from small families, not worthy of her making the effort to make friends with them.
The wife of Marquis Wu'an glared at her and said with a smile, "Don't be so angry. These people are not worth your trouble to make friends with. However, it is precisely because of their flattery that my son's nobility can be highlighted. Moreover, there may be a time when these people will be of use in the future."
He Zhimin snorted twice in dissatisfaction, but did not say anything to refute.
In Madam He's room, Luo's mouth was as sweet as honey and made Madam He laugh so hard that she fell backwards. Although she lived in the Marquis's Mansion and all her food, clothing and expenses were taken care of by the eldest daughter-in-law, she still didn't like the Marquis Wu'an's wife. Instead, she doted on Luo, because this was her own daughter-in-law.
"Oh, you have such a sweet talker. But this was given to me by Xiong'er's father. I can't give it to you. Someone, give the whole set of jade jewelry to this annoying guy." Old Madam He touched the jade bracelet on her hand and said with a smile.
"Mother, isn't it my duty as a daughter-in-law to make you happy? Why should you give me something again?" Mrs. Luo smiled and stopped Madam He, saying, "Besides, today is mother's birthday banquet. I can't accept it no matter how shameless I am. If mother really loves me, please do me a favor."
Old Madam He looked at Luo in surprise, thinking that there was actually a time when Luo didn't want anything.
But she doesn't want it, so I can save it.
"Okay, I will definitely help you as long as I can." Madam He responded nonchalantly.
After receiving Madam He's nod, Luo suddenly smiled widely, "As long as mother can make this happen, our second branch may have a chance to turn things around."
Madam He turned her head and looked at her with interest: "Oh, what's the matter?"
What she wanted most in her life was for her son to succeed. She originally thought that He Yu had no son, and that the title of Marquis Wu'an would be a piece of cake for her son. However, who would have thought that He Yu would find his son, and send him to the military camp not long after he came back. She was not afraid that she would not be able to raise such a grown-up son by her side and that they would not be close to each other.
But it must be said that He Yu was so decisive in letting his son join the army that she had no way to take action again, unless He Zhiyi died on the battlefield.
Mrs. Luo didn't know what Mrs. He was thinking, so she said, "It's for Miao'er's marriage."
Hearing this, Madam He withdrew her thoughts and looked at Luo Shi in silence: "Since the last time Xianhe died in her yard, your daughter has become a nobody. Who would want her?"
She didn't think she could help her granddaughter find a good family.
Luo said patiently: "Mother, have you heard me..."
When Lu Xiang arrived at the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion, most of the guests had already arrived. When the servant at the door saw the Lu family's carriage, he immediately sent someone in to inform them.
Yunlu and A'man came with Lu Xiang, while Qiuying followed Lu Qiao.
Several people walked into the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, and a maid bowed respectfully and led them to the backyard.
As soon as she reached the Chuihua Gate, she saw the wife of Marquis Wu'an and He Zhimin walking towards her. Behind them were the smiling Second Madam Luo and He Zhimiao, as well as some unfamiliar ladies and young ladies.
"I've been looking forward to seeing you for so long, and finally you're here." Lady Wu'an Marquis walked up to Lu Xiang and took his hand, saying with a smile.
Lu Xiang pursed his lips and smiled, then calmly pulled his hand away and bowed to the wife of Marquis Wu'an: "Greetings, Madam."
"Child, I told you not to be so polite. You and my Yan'er are good sisters. I treat you as my own child. Just call me aunt." Lady Wu'an Hou smiled with her hands covering her mouth. Her tone was indescribably intimate and familiar, which made Luo behind her jealous. Her eyes were burning with jealousy.
