In order to show his importance to Liu Ruyi, the newly recognized sister, Qiao planned to invite the noble ladies from Xindu to eat from their homes and give them a testimony. Liu Ruyi firmly opposed it, and the two refused for a while. In the end, Qiao could not say that Liu Ruyi was so angry that she only invited Liu Ruyi and a few capable friends around her.

The banquet scene was decided, and the two sisters gathered together to watch the calendar and set the banquet on the 16th day.

When Fu Rong heard Liu Ruyi talk about which guys he wanted to take, he suddenly remembered something, "Aunt Liu, do you have any relatives? Why don't you call them together and come and have fun?"

In her previous life, she was not so close to Liu Ruyi, so she naturally didn't pay special attention to her. After getting engaged with Xu Yan, she rarely went out. It was still at the end of the year when the little maids talked about Ruyi Zhai. Only then did she know that not long after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Liu Ruyi and Gu Madam left quietly, and no one knew where to go. Ruyi Zhai was opened well, why did she leave for no reason? It was probably because something happened to a relative from afar.

Liu Ruyi shook her head: "At that time, our family was in a state of decline, and we were dead and we were scattered. You Aunt Liu, I am a real lonely man."

Fu Rong hugged her arm and acted coquettishly: "It's not the case today. I'm filial to Aunt Liu."

Liu Ruyi smiled and pinched her nose.

The mother and daughter stayed at Ruyizhai until lunch before going back. On the way, Fu Rong asked her mother in confusion: "Why did you think of recognizing your sister?"

Qiao clapped her daughter's hand and said softly: "She saved you. My mother didn't know how to thank her after thinking about it. Women love nothing more than gold and silver jewelry. You Aunt Liu doesn't lack anything, only relatives. How great is this? She has a companion. There is another person in the world who cares about you, and the best of both worlds."

Fu Rong looked at his mother seriously and said sincerely: "Mom, you are so nice. If other ladies and wives are not going to do such a thing."

Qiao curled her lips meaningfully, leaning against the carriage board, and her voice was a little unstable as the carriage bumped: "Because my mother was also despised by others when she was a child. Officials looked down on those who do business, and in the official family, the legitimate daughter and the legitimate son looked down on the concubine's son and daughter born by the aunt. But you said, how could my mother not be as good as those legitimate daughters? So when you get married in the future and be alone, you must not just look at people based on your identity. You have to look at the person's character and whether that person is sincere to you."

Fu Rong didn't say anything, so he savored it carefully.

My mother in her previous life also told her many great principles. For example, when she wanted to leave Xu Yan, her mother advised her to think clearly and listed the embarrassing situations she might face after leaving. But at that time she was thinking about leaving the Prince's Mansion, but she felt that no matter how difficult it was outside, it would be better than being angry under her mother-in-law's nose, so she was determined. In the end, she was satisfied, but found that the days after leaving were not as simple as she thought. The whispers of noble ladies in the capital and the disdainful eyes of the ladies and wives tortured her.

It was then that she realized her mother's seriousness, but this is how people are. If they don't really hit the wall, they will never look back.

After having the experience of my previous life, now I listen to my mother's advice and my understanding is deeper.

On the 16th day, the Fu Mansion started cleaning early.

It was noon on the sun, and Liu Ruyi and others arrived.

Qiao led her three daughters to the front yard to welcome the people, but she saw a woman wearing a curtained hat following Liu Ruyi.

Liu Ruyi first introduced to Qiao's mother and daughter: "This is the second boss of Ruyizhai, Madam Gu." Then she said to Madam Gu with great pride: "See, this is my newly recognized sister, Su Niang, these three flowers are my niece."

Qiao couldn't help laughing and said intimately: "Is there anyone who boasted like this? Madam Gu asked me to sit in the house. The jewelry you made is hard to find. Our mothers have long wanted to see you."

Mrs. Gu gave a gentle gift, "Mrs. I will not hide it anymore. If there is any offense, please forgive me and the three girls." He raised his hand to take off his hat.

Her voice was ethereal and ethereal. Fu Rongqing couldn't help staring at her, but after taking the veil, she showed a clear and refined face. However, there was a scar on the beautiful face on the left side. It should have been left a long time ago. The color was light but obvious.

Sister Fu Rong was stunned. Such neat scars were definitely not accidentally scratched.

Qiao came back to his senses first, and stepped forward to hold Madam Gu's hand and said, "You still think you have any secrets, isn't it just a scar? We are not looking at you, no matter whether you have scars, go and sit in the house."

Liu Ruyi handed Mrs. Gu a look of "I expected this to happen."

Madam Gu smiled slightly, and Fu Rong came over to thank Qin Xiang for asking for help. She took Fu Rong's hand and walked forward together.

The shopkeeper and the trusted friends of Ruyizhai were handed over to the manager, Uncle Liu, to entertain him in the front yard.

The women gathered together, and the dining table was naturally lively. Liu Ruyi and Gu Madam kept silent about the past, and the Qiao mother and daughter did not try to inquire.

Of course, Fu Rong was curious about Liu Ruyi's father-in-law Xu Yaocheng in his previous life. Because she had too short a time to recognize her relatives, she could only guess in her heart. But she instinctively felt that Liu Ruyi was not the kind of outdoor room where she served people with sex. Otherwise, with her appearance, which rich master could have been able to rely on when her family changed. Why did she show up and work hard to do business?

After the banquet, Fu Rong had to go to Ruyizhai every few days, and the maids and servants followed him, so the Qiao couple were relieved.

That day, when he came back from Ruyizhai, Qiao asked her to go to the main room to talk.

"What's the matter with me?" Fu Rong stepped into the room and asked while reaching out to hug his brother.

Qiao showed her the post that she put aside, "The Prince's Mansion just sent it to her. The county lord's birthday on the seventh day of next month, I invite you sisters to enjoy the flowers. It's not convenient for your sister to go. Do you want to go?"

Although I was asking, I was sure that this daughter likes lively the most.

Fu Rong looked at the gold-burning post and his memories suddenly floated up.

The first time she met the princess of the county in her previous life was at this flower banquet. Xu Yan should have said something to the princess of the county. The princess of the county called her to her side and asked a few words. Fu Rong was prepared and calm. The princess of the county was quite satisfied with her. Not long after, Xu Yan proposed marriage from home. The princess of the county was simple in the population, and the princess of the county looked easy to get along with. When she was married, Fu Rong was full of longing, but she didn't expect...

"If you don't go, the Prince's Mansion is no more than ordinary families. There are many rules and I can't have fun even if I go." Fu Rong said casually.

Qiao was still thinking about Xu Yan's good son-in-law. When her daughter didn't want to go, she immediately advised: "How can there be so many rules? Didn't you see it at Zhulin Temple last time? The princess of the county is not a person who talks about false rituals. Besides, the first time he invited you sisters, it would be too rude if he didn't go?"

Fu Rong frowned. She really couldn't find a good excuse. She said with a tough bullet: "I just don't want to go. Those girls all looked at each of them with smiles. Who knows if they had evil intentions behind their backs like Qi Zhu? Anyway, I won't go anywhere except Yingfang invites me."

After hearing his daughter find such an excuse, Qiao was both angry and funny, "As you say that, if you go to the capital in the future, you will not make any friends? Okay, don't refuse, you and Xuanxuan have to go. Mom will take you to the Prince's Mansion to see the world first, so as not to get the capital and the Hou Mansion to be so grand that it will make a joke."

Fu Rong couldn't say that she could only respond for the time being, thinking about pretending to be sick and avoiding it.

At the end of the month, Fu Rong went to Ruyizhai as a guest. However, Fu Rong came to Gu Niangzi to watch her make jewelry. This was also what she was most interested in recently. Gu Niangzi's skillful hands really allowed her to see what it means to be sophisticated and turn decay into magic.

"Aunt Gu is so skillful. Have you become a disciple since he was a child?" Seeing that Miss Gu carved a piece of jade flowers and leaves, Fu Rong asked curiously while she was resting. This kind of craftsmanship requires years of training to be specialized, and Miss Gu seems to be less than thirty.

Mrs. Gu looked at the objects in the house, and nostalgia appeared in her eyes: "What I learned from my grandfather and father, my skills are far less than theirs."

Fu Rong sensibly did not ask further.

"Miss Three, my boss invites you over."

The little maid outside was passing a message, so Fu Rong had to say goodbye to Miss Gu first and went to Liu Ruyi's Youran House.

"Come here, I have something to ask you." Liu Ruyi sat on the couch outside and waved to her with a smile.

Fu Rong looked at the jewelry box in front of her, stopped at the door and said vigilantly: "Don't you want to give me jewelry again, right? My mother said that I can't ask for your things anymore. It seems that the three of us recognize you as our aunt in order to take advantage of you."

Liu Ruyi glared at her: "Stop talking nonsense. I heard that the Prince's Mansion is going to hold a flower banquet. Have you invited you too?"

Fu Rong looked at her carefully, walked slowly to the couch and sat down: "I'm welcome, but I don't want to go."

Liu Ruyi raised her eyebrows: "Why not go? Because of mine?"

Fu Rong didn't want her to speak so bluntly, and she reacted and shook her head quickly. Before she could speak, Liu Ruyi said first: "Then go, see that I have prepared jewelry for you. If you wear this pair of heads and faces, you can't compare to you even if you keep the flowers in the garden."

She opened the box and found that there were pearls and treasures inside. Fu Rong had seen many good things. Seeing these, her heart was beating faster. At the same time, it became increasingly difficult to understand, "Why did Aunt Liu want me to go?" She was dressed so well?

Liu Ruyi's eyes lit up suddenly. She took out a red bead with a string of rice-sized golden beads and inserted into Fu Rong's hair: "You said, if you wear these jewelry to go to the banquet, will those little girls who love beauty not ask? Then you said you bought it from me, and they will definitely come here too. Not only this time, aren't you going to Beijing? Dandan will give it to her aunt when she goes out as a guest, and she will give her name to her for her aunt."

Fu Rong looked at her in surprise: "Aunt Liu wants to open a shop in the capital?"

Liu Ruyi showed an intriguing and ambitious smile, "I have always thought that next year, I will open a branch store first. After doing it well, I will gradually move my main business to the capital and change it to a branch store."

Fu Rong didn't understand these very well, but the confidence in Liu Ruyi's eyes made her excited, "Okay, Aunt Liu, wait. The noble girls in the capital all know that Jizhou Xin has a family of Ruyizhai!"

"You said this, I took it seriously." Liu Ruyi happily pinched Fu Rong's face, and then mentioned which jewelry she wore and what clothes she would wear to the Prince's Mansion.

Seeing that she was in a good mood, Fu Rong could not suppress her curiosity that had been holding it in for a long time. She looked outside and asked in a low voice: "Aunt Liu, don't be angry, I just want to ask, you and the prince..."

Liu Ruyi's smile remained unchanged, but she paused when she moved and looked up at Fu Rong's eyes: "I feel that I am unclean and I love myself?"

Fu Rong was anxious, "No, don't get me wrong, I am, that's..."

"Curious, aren't you?" Liu Ruyi pinched the little girl's pink cheeks again, lowered her eyes and said, "It's good if you don't dislike me. As for my affairs, it will only stain my ears when I say it. I'll tell you again if I have the chance in the future."

Fu Rong obediently agreed and didn't dare to ask more questions.

Without asking, he couldn't help but guessing in his heart. When the carriage was about to reach the door of his house, Fu Rong suddenly realized the jewelry box in his arms and couldn't help but caress his forehead. It seemed that he had to go to the prince's mansion.

The little girl returned home with a laugh and cry. On the other end of the capital, a seemingly ordinary carriage had just driven out of the south gate.

Xu Jia drove the car and asked knowingly: "Which road is going to Henan and Shandong to inspect the Yellow River embankment?"

"Go to Zhengzhou first."

Xu Jia laughed: "Those who have to pass by Jizhou, should the prince go to visit the prince?" The former king of Xindu and the last emperor were cousins. In terms of relationships, the prince had to call the king of Xindu and call him cousin.

Xu Jin didn't say anything.

If he doesn't go to Jizhou, why should he take this labour?
