Chapter 1137, What bad intentions could Young Master Gu have?
Although Lord Tang really wanted to marry into the Duke's Mansion, the Tang family could only wait passively. After returning from Taohua Mountain, he had been thinking about the Crown Princess sending another invitation to the Tang family.
Unfortunately, I never waited for that day.
When Lord Tang learned that several wives of officials from the provincial capital were invited to visit Taohua Mountain, he was disappointed. The Crown Princess continued to look, which showed that neither of her two daughters caught the young master's eye.
In this case, Lord Tang no longer had any expectations and began to concentrate on handling official business.
The time shifted to late April.
"Madam, Taohua Mountain has sent us a Dragon Boat Festival gift!"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Tang and Tang Zijin, who were checking the accounts, both looked up.
Mrs. Tang put down the account book and said, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and invite the person in."
Soon, the servant who delivered the gift was led into the house...
This time, Taohuashan not only sent the Tang family a Dragon Boat Festival gift, but also sent them an invitation.
The nanny who came to deliver the gift smiled and said, "My princess returned to Taohua Mountain a few days ago. She heard that Madam Tang and Miss Tang came to Zhongzhou, so she specially invited you to come over for a gathering."
Madam Tang's face lit up with joy: "The princess is back?!"
Although Princess Weiyuan is the princess of a first-rank prince, she never puts on airs and is a rare insightful person. Since becoming an official's wife, she has met quite a few people, but the one she admires the most is Princess Weiyuan.
When in Xiliang, because my daughter had the good fortune to become the playmate of the young master and the princess, she went to the palace more often than ordinary people. Putting aside her status, she and the princess had some friendship.
Now that the princess has returned to Taohua Mountain, she is really happy to see her old friends again.
Tang Zijin on the side also had a happy look on her face. When she was a child, the princess was very kind to her and especially liked to invite her to eat buns.
Afterwards, Mrs. Tang spoke with the gift-giving nanny for a while, and then personally escorted the person to the Chuihua Gate.
When Mrs. Tang returned to the main courtyard, Tang Zixin, who had received the news, was already waiting there.
"Mother, I heard that the princess has returned to Peach Blossom Mountain and invited us to visit again?"
Seeing Tang Zixin impatiently asking about the invitation and being so impatient that she didn't even bother to greet him, Mrs. Tang smiled and didn't correct her mistake. She nodded and said, "That's right. You should go pack up too. Come with me to Taohua Mountain in a couple of days."
After getting a positive answer, Tang Zixin was very happy: "I will go tell my grandmother right away." Then he ran out of the house.
The housekeeper saw this, took a look at Madam Tang's face, and said with a smile, "The eldest girl is two years older than the second girl, but she is far less stable than the second girl."
Madam Tang sneered, "Mother and Master, thinking about Zixin's motherless life, are worried that I might be mean and harsh to her. They usually favor this girl. Little do they know that if a girl is spoiled too much, it will harm her!"
"It's okay at home, where everyone will give in to her, but who will let her do what she wants at her husband's house?"
"Just wait and see. Over the years, she has caused Zijin so much injustice, both overt and covert. When she gets married, I want to see how Mother and Master will continue to indulge her."
Three days later, Mrs. Tang took Tang Zixin and Tang Zijin, who were dressed in new clothes, and boarded the boat to Taohua Mountain again.
On the way, Mrs. Tang discovered that many boats were also heading to Taohua Mountain. She immediately understood that this time the princess not only invited the Tang family, but also other families.
Mrs. Tang glanced at her daughter, hesitated for a moment, and didn't tell her anything.
Let it be. The young master is indeed a good person, but my daughter is soft-hearted. It would be difficult for her to fight for him.
Now that the master has become a second-rank official, she will be able to find a good family for her daughter.
When they were about to reach Taohua Mountain, before getting off the boat, Tang Zijin saw beautiful figures constantly moving around on Taohua Mountain, with graceful girls traveling together to play.
Looking at this scene, Tang Zijin was silent, while Tang Zixin had a happy look on his face.
Last time, it was just her and Tang Zijin, and the old Duke and the young Master failed to discover her strengths. This time, with so many young ladies coming, with her ability to socialize, she will definitely surpass Tang Zijin.
By then, the old Duke and the others will know how suitable she is for the young master, and they will find that she is much better than Tang Zijin.
Soon, Mrs. Tang and her two daughters came ashore.
For fear of disturbing Gu Jian, the emperor and the prince, Daohua met with the women from each family at the farm at the foot of the mountain.
"Greetings, Princess. May your majesty be well!"
As soon as she entered the room and saw Daohua sitting on the main seat, Mrs. Tang quickly stepped forward to pay her respects, and Tang Zijin and Tang Zixin quickly followed.
"Get up!"
Daohua stood up and helped Madam Tang up herself: "It's been many years since we last met, you seem unfamiliar. When we were in Xiliang, you were so casual."
Madam Tang smiled and said, "It's been a while since I last saw the princess, so I wanted to pay my respects to her."
After a few pleasantries, Daohua and Mrs. Tang took their seats.
At this time, Daohua looked at Tang Zijin and Tang Zixin: "Zijin and Zixin are both grown-up girls."
Then, Daohua first praised Tang Zixin and asked her to sit below Madam Tang. Then, she waved to Tang Zijin and said, "Zijin, come over here. Let me take a good look at you."
Tang Zijin shyly walked up to Daohua and said, "Zijin pays her respects to the princess!"
Daohua held Tang Zijin's soft, chubby hand and smiled at the little girl's chubby cheeks.
This girl has a genuine baby face, a round little face, and a pair of clear and innocent big eyes. When she was a child, even Xiao Yeyang was captured by her.
Looking at Tang Zijin's still clear and bright eyes, Daohua's smile deepened. He pulled her to sit beside him and said with a smile, "You are getting more and more beautiful."
Mrs. Tang was very happy to hear her daughter being praised, but she said modestly, "Princess, please stop praising her. This girl is just silly."
Daohua looked at the slightly reserved Tang Zijin and smiled. This girl hadn't changed much, still as innocent as she was when she was little. She gave Madam Tang a look of disapproval and said with a smile, "I like Zijin like this."
At this time, more female relatives arrived.
Seeing other girls coming, Tang Zixin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Tang Zijin's face is so deceptive that she is very popular with the elders, both the old Duke and the Princess.
Now that the other ladies have arrived and the girls are talking together, the tongue-tied Tang Zijin should just be a transparent person to set off their conversation.
After the girls had paid their respects, Daohua let them go outside to play.
Upon hearing this, Tang Zixin became very active and took a girl's hand and started chatting and laughing.
Tang Zijin didn't want to leave, especially when she saw Tang Zixin and the girl she had never met before holding hands, looking like real sisters. She felt unhappy from the bottom of her heart.
But the princess had already spoken, and if she didn't leave, she would seem weird.
So, Tang Zijin had no choice but to go out with the other ladies.
Daohua saw everything the girls did. She couldn't help but laugh when she saw Tang Zijin walking at the end, pouting and looking a little reluctant.
Like a chameleon, wearing different masks to look at people according to the time, place and person is a necessary lesson for a lady of a noble family.
Obviously, Tang Zijin did not do well in this regard, unlike her sister, whose transformation was so fast that even she was amazed.
However, not everyone likes this kind of ability.
For example, her little son with black sesame filling!
