Chapter 160: Some
Jiang Yao stared blankly at these unfamiliar faces, especially the one who called her cousin, who looked somewhat familiar.
She thought about it carefully and realized that this should be Jiang Rong, the eldest son of the Dafang family. It was also the first time she saw him since she traveled through time.
Jiang Rong bullied the original owner a lot when he was a child. Now he acts like a good brother, which is really disgusting.
Jiang Yao attracted a lot of attention, so Jiang Xing, who came down after her, became deserted, and only Jiang Yu went to pick her up.
"Cousin, you've had a hard journey. Come in and have some tea."
Jiang Yao took a step back, moving a little further away from Jiang Rong.
"I can walk on my own."
There were too many people, and she was afraid that Bai Chu would be stepped on, so she bent down and held it in her arms.
Bai Chu yawned. How could a divine beast like it be stepped on by someone? Anyone who dared to step on it would have to pay the price, but it was happy to be held in someone's arms.
He turned over, yawned, and went to sleep.
Jiang Rong wanted to get closer to her, but was worried about finding a topic to talk about. Seeing Bai Chu, he hurriedly asked, "Cousin, is this Mr. Su's pet?"
Jiang Yao paused, tilted his head, and asked, "Jiang Rong, we're not on very good terms, could you please stop following me?"
I'm so annoyed.
Jiang Rong looked embarrassed: "Cousin, although we haven't seen each other for half a year, we are cousins. Do you dislike me so much?"
They were chatting loudly, and everyone around them looked over.
Jiang Yao let out a breath. She didn't want to argue with him on such an occasion today.
"Whose birthday gift is that?"
Someone shouted and everyone looked over.
Ten large boxes were carried in at the door.
Everyone gathered around, including Jiang Rong.
After Lang Qi came in, everyone guessed who sent the ten boxes and couldn't help but cast their eyes on Jiang Yao.
"Could this be the second young lady of the Jiang family?"
"That doesn't look like it. Didn't they say the second young lady of the Jiang family was a fool? She looks so graceful and elegant, she looks like a lady from a noble family."
"That's right. I think the Second Miss Jiang is prettier than the other three Jiang family girls."
"That's right. Moreover, Miss Jiang has made great progress. I heard that the Emperor has granted her Shangyi. After Master Su leaves, she will be able to live directly in the palace and serve the Emperor."
"Yes, the second Miss Jiang has made great progress. Recently, matchmakers looking for marriage have been knocking on the door of the Jiang family."
Jiang Yao listened to the discussions around her and understood why these people suddenly treated her so well. It turned out that it was because of Shang Yi given to her by Zhao Huang.
She said that as a servant, it was lucky not to be kicked out when she returned home, and there were so many people welcoming her, and even Jiang Rong lowered himself to talk to her.
"Cousin, are these what you gave to grandpa?"
Jiang Yao turned around and felt dirty just looking at him.
"Is Yao'er back?"
"Grandpa, I'm back."
Jiang Yao left Bai Chu and ran towards Jiang Ao.
It’s Jiang Ao’s birthday today, and he’s wearing a bright blue robe, looking very energetic.
What made Jiang Yao happiest was his legs, which had improved significantly as he could walk more smoothly.
"Yao'er, my Yao'er is back."
Jiang Ao came out with a few elderly people. He proudly introduced them to her: "This is my second granddaughter Jiang Yao."
"Master Jiang's granddaughter is truly remarkable. She cured the Emperor's knee and even received the Emperor's gift of Shangyi."
"Haha, my little girl just read some medical books and can heal a leg. My leg was healed by her."
"Master Jiang, you're joking. To be appreciated by the Emperor, she must be able to do more than just treat legs. Second Miss Jiang must have some extraordinary qualities."
"Haha, I feel embarrassed when you guys praise me."
Jiang Yao lowered her head obediently and stood aside, letting Jiang Ao praise her.
As old people, they like to brag about their successful children and grandchildren.
"Haha, we old guys are a bit talkative. Let's let the children play by themselves. Master Jiang, the chess game is not yet decided. We have to continue."
Jiang Ao looked around and then looked at Jiang Yao.
"Then Grandpa, you go play chess, and I will..."
"Would you like to see Grandpa play chess?"
Jiang Yao was stunned.
Jiang Ao had already pulled her arm and said to the elderly people: "Haha, my granddaughter said she wanted to watch us play chess."
"Could it be that Miss Jiang Er also knows how to play chess?"
Jiang Yao nodded blankly: "I know a little."
"Alright, alright. Ask someone to bring another plate so I can play a round with Miss Jiang."
Jiang Yao was dragged to the backyard by Jiang Ao, and along the way she finally understood why Jiang Ao wanted to take her with him.
That's because there was no one in the house who could talk to her, and her brothers and sisters didn't like to play with her, so they kept her by their side for fear that she would be bored alone.
"Grandpa, I can play chess too. Why don't you take me with you?"
Jiang Rong was thick-skinned and came over. Jiang Ao said with a smile, "Okay, you come too."
The chess game was divided into three groups: Jiang Ao and Minister Liu, Jiang Rong and Minister Qian, and Jiang Yao was a sixty-year-old man with nothing to do and not very good at chess.
Probably, such a person was assigned to her in order to take good care of her.
In a short while, the yard was packed with people. I didn't know what they were here to see, but there were men and women, young and old.
Jiang Yao patted Bai Chu, who was a little irritated, and said, "Little White Pig, if you feel bored, you can go out first."
Since she couldn't leave, she didn't bother Bai Chu to follow her.
Bai Chu hummed twice, lay listlessly at her feet, closed his eyes and dozed off.
Jiang Ao hadn't expected the situation to turn out like this. Today was his birthday, and he couldn't just kick anyone out. He turned around and whispered to Jiang Yao, "Yao'er, if you feel bored, you can leave first."
These were the same words she said to Bai Chu. She cared about Bai Chu, and Jiang Ao also cared about her.
"Grandpa, it's okay. Today is your birthday. Just be happy."
"Haha, if you beat Lord Sun, Grandpa will be happy."
Lord Sun blew his beard and glared, pretending to be very angry: "Humph, old man, you only know how to protect your granddaughter. My chess skills may not be good, but I am not worse than a little kid."
"My granddaughter is not very good at chess, but you two can have a game of it."
"Grandpa, I'm very good at chess."
Jiang Yao complained coquettishly, causing Jiang Ao to laugh continuously.
"Okay, it was Grandpa who underestimated you."
The chess game has officially begun.
In fact, everyone's attention was on Jiang Ao and Jiang Rong, and only the women noticed Jiang Yao.
Of course, we are not paying attention to how good her chess skills are, but to see whether her figure is good enough to be a lady from a noble family.
Jiang Yao knew what these people were thinking. She heard what they were whispering behind her. They were just trying to see if she was qualified to be their daughter-in-law or something.
I'm afraid that at today's birthday party, someone will inevitably propose to her.
"Second Miss Jiang, it's your turn."
