Ruanjiaobao was forced to marry by Lord Hou again

Chapter 58

The woman with the red flower on her head: "What's the matter, Mrs. Sun, her face is so ugly, don't be angry when we women say some things that women see. By the way, your girl's engagement banquet will be held in a few days. Please also ask Mrs. Sun to take a fancy to my family and send an invitation to let me enjoy the joy."

Mrs. Xue said: "How can we go to the engagement banquet of Sun Wang's family? It's all for the officials. If you want me to say, Mrs. Sun is really lucky. Her family is well-connected with officials and businessmen. Unlike us, we have been climbing all our lives. Not in the family of officials. Hey, Mrs. Shen, I see that the Buddhist beads in your hand are elegant and refined. I remember Mrs. Sun got a bunch of relics last year. It is said that they were photographed in Xueyueqin Garden, thousands of taels of gold , why don't you see me with you?"

Sun Jinlan's face turned the color of a pig's blood.

Xue Shi took advantage of this and said: "A bunch of relics are worth several thousand taels of gold, so I was too vulgar to wait. When I heard about it last year, my jaw was so shocked that it was stained with dust."

Hearing this, Sun Jinlan's blood-colored face turned pale instantly, and she looked up at Old Madam Shen with a guilty conscience, and saw that she was holding a bowl of barley and lotus root powder, stirring carelessly with a spoon, as if she hadn't heard Xue Shi's words, so she hung it on the pine tree. heart of.

"Miss Xue, I'm afraid you remember wrongly. The Lu family of the Sun family is not as rich as you said. The relics were just obtained from the temple." Sun Jinlan rolled her eyes.

"Aren't you afraid?" said the woman with a slanted bun, "I remember you brought it out to show off last year, and your girl told me about it, so Mrs. Sun would say that she remembered wrongly. It must be that your girl remembered wrongly, right?"

With a sullen face, Sun Jinlan glanced at the woman and said, "Yes, my girl made a mistake. She has never remembered things since she was a child, and it is common for her to remember things wrongly."

As soon as the words were finished, Mother Xuan came in and reported: "Old lady, Mrs. Sun, the prefect of the moon, and several lords of the prefect of the prefecture are here."

Everyone's expressions changed slightly, but Sun Jinlan's eyes lit up. The women in the room all looked towards the door, and saw a few middle-aged men walking in. The leader was the Sun Kun that the woman said just now.

It is said that a corrupt official has a corrupt official image, and a clean official has an upright official image, and corrupt officials can be identified at a glance, but this Sun Kungan Sun Zhizhou is hard to guess.

Although he is over forty years old, he is still tall and straight, with his hands behind his back. Unlike Sun Jinlan who wears gold and silver, Sun Kungan wears simple clothes, and he is even more simple in his sleeves. Look into his eyes, a pair of eyes shot Han Xing's eyebrows are like paint.

During the banquet, the women all lowered their heads to drink tea, not daring to make a sound. Xue Shi, who was the loudest before, also wanted to throw the firecrackers into the water at this moment, and he was breathless in an instant.

"Sun Kunqian, the governor of the moon, brought his subordinates to pay respects to Mrs. Shen, and also asked Mrs. Shen that she was in good health and living well." Sun Kunqian spoke in a low-key manner.

Old Mrs. Shen has experienced a lot. She has seen a lot of corrupt officials, big and small. It’s been a while since it started.”

One of the elders said: "Old lady Shen is going back to the moon, I was rude and did not greet her in person, today is something important in the house, but I heard that old lady Shen is hosting a banquet, so we will follow Mrs. Sun to rush Come say hello."

Mrs. Shen said: "Your lords have a heart. Mr. Sun is young and promising, and just now your sister praised you."

Sun Kunqian glanced at Sun Jinlan at the banquet, and said, "Sister She rarely mentions me in front of outsiders, and Mrs. Shen made me curious when she said so."

As soon as the words came out, all the women at the banquet lowered their heads.

Some were worried but others were happy. Seeing someone supporting her, Sun Jinlan raised her chin again.

"It's just something that doesn't matter," Mrs. Shen stood up. "It's rare that some adults come here to pay my respects to my wife. Let's go to the men's table first."

Several adults echoed, and accompanied Mrs. Shen to the men's table.

Outside the lobby courtyard, Shen Yue'er and Ye Lingwu were still welcoming the guests, and they didn't slack off even if Mother Xuan wasn't around.

The two girls of the Zhao family have completely different personalities. Shen Yue'er is considerate to others, and Shen Pan'er is scorching towards others, disdainful of flattery.

When it comes to who they are more comfortable with, most people might choose Shen Yueer, but Ye Lingwu still chooses Shen Paner.

In fact, she is very envious of Shen Pan'er's character, she just thinks of jade that has not been carved by the world, everyone is trying to cater to the surrounding, only she thinks how to cater to herself, perhaps in the eyes of many people, this is a selfish little Girl, but her selfishness is pure, without any filth.

To be honest, she often wondered if her mother hadn't passed away, would she still want to maintain a different appearance from her heart now?
Ye Lingwu sighed, feeling lost, when she saw Madam Xuan leading the lords of the prefecture government who had just arrived late to the men's seat over there. Shen Ci saw the lords coming, and got up to greet them personally. Although they couldn't hear their conversation clearly, judging from their smiling faces, they should be talking and laughing happily.

"I didn't expect the second son to deal with people with ease, and he is not as cynical as the capital, throwing his hands away from the shopkeeper." Ye Lingwu said.

Shen Yue'er followed her gaze to the extreme, and said sweetly: "Second elder brother has a hot heart and is good at communicating with others. No matter who he is, no matter his personality, he is always easily infected by his charm. It seems that he will never be attracted by his charm." feeling lonely."

Ye Lingwu was silent.Burning hot, indeed.
