She suddenly felt that the person who separated them just now had been prepared for it.
The purpose was for An Hongshao, because An Hongshao had never participated in such an occasion before, so he thought he was an easy master.
If An Hongshao had attended the banquet earlier, when he saw Mrs. Du, he would have felt from the bottom of his heart that she was a good person, and would have trusted her wholeheartedly.
However, after living in Lian's house for so many days, she had looked at it carefully. She and Mrs. Zhou are sisters-in-law, so didn’t they have their own thoughts at first? Even if everyone under the same roof is testing him, then suddenly a person from the street appears, is this just like his best cousin?
An Hongshao didn't believe it. No matter what Madam Du Shao said, she would think it over carefully in her heart.
Ms. Zhou didn't know much about the affairs in the court, mainly because Lian Ruxin's official rank was low now, and she talked most about the intrigues in the Ministry of Works. She really didn't know about the higher-ups.
"I still need to talk to my second brother about this matter." I didn't see what was in his wallet. Everything was just speculation. I just took it as a reminder from Lian Zhi.
Since then, they have to pay more attention.
Compared with the intrigues between women, it is more troublesome when the court affairs are involved.
Although Li Yuyin was raised very well by the Qiao family, under the disparity between the two county heads, I began to feel in my heart that this Mrs. Du was really a good person.
If this matter happened to Li Yuyin, she might not be able to react as quickly as An Hongshao.
Li Yuyin leaned closer to An Hongshao, "The capital is really dangerous every step of the way."
Mrs. Zhou burst out laughing after hearing this, "Don't be afraid, Miss Li. This kind of thing doesn't happen every time."
Why do the children of aristocratic families marry noble girls? It's because they know a lot. Although women can't be involved in politics, they will often mention something at home, so they will pay more attention to it outside.
If there had been no changes in the DPRK, few people would have acted so clearly.
After Mrs. Zhou finished speaking, she felt that what she said seemed inappropriate, so she quickly changed the subject, "Look, the lights on the boat are all lit up."
The sparkling waves on the lake are even more unique.
After watching for a while, the banquet was about to begin, and everyone returned to their respective positions.
There were many people here today, but those sitting in the side hall probably couldn't see the host's family.
Back in the main hall, Mrs. Zhou led An Hongshao to sit at the table behind Lian's mother, and Li Yuyin also sat behind Mrs. Qiao.
The lady sitting in front here is the most prestigious person in the capital.
Mrs. Pang hasn't arrived yet, and everyone in the main hall is still talking and laughing.
Lian Yanyu also came in from outside at this moment, followed by a girl, "Aunt, Miss Zhang knows that you have returned to the capital, so she came here to say hello to you."
As he spoke, he introduced a few words to the two of them.
Lian Yun smiled and nodded, but An Hongshao seemed very unhappy when she saw Lian Yun's hand holding the cup tightly.
After the girl saw him, she exchanged a few pleasantries and then retreated to her family.
Lian Yanyu held up her skirt, sat down gracefully, and behaved in a polite manner.
At this moment, several more ladies came in one after another, and the place instantly became lively. The positions were also arranged according to rank. In addition to the first-rank officials, there were six ministers. They sat relatively near the front.
Some people would also say hello to Lian Mu, and the eyes they looked at An Hongshao were not harsh and critical, and most of them would only say a few words, "An Hongshao was lucky at first sight."
Lian's mother laughed heartily, "I'm not afraid of your jokes. Both marriages in our house approve high-class marriages."
Lian's mother knew in her heart that saying An Hongshao was lucky didn't mean she thought she was marrying high?
The other party smiled and nodded, complimented Lian Yanyu a few words, and said no more.
The two county heads were the last to arrive. After they sat down, Mrs. Pang helped the old lady over.
Seeing her coming, everyone immediately stood up and called the old lady repeatedly.
Prime Minister Pang has made great contributions to the country, and his wife, Mrs. Pang, has also been named the first-grade imperial concubine. Let's put it this way, even the four concubines in the palace are not as high as her, and they are considered the first of the imperial concubines.
"Everyone, sit down." The old lady handed the dragon-head crutch to her daughter-in-law and sat on the main seat. Even though I am old, my waist is still very straight.
His eyebrows were full of kindness, as if he cared for all living beings.
Looking at the clusters of flowers below, the smile on the old lady's brows grew thicker, "Children love to be busy, so why don't you come on this trip?"
"What did the old lady say? Isn't this a feast for our eyes?" Madam Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance said quickly, looking at her as someone who loves to stand out.
The funny old lady laughed.
The old lady should never mention the Lord of Hui'an County. This was all her idea.
People around him often praised Hui'an County Lord for his clever mind, and they also praised Mrs. Pang for her skill in raising her daughter.
The old lady was offended by all these compliments. The only ones she took the initiative to reply to were the Feng family, and by the way, she also praised Linyang County Lord a few times.
The atmosphere was so warm that the old lady's eyes swept around these people and stayed on Mrs. Qiao for a moment. In the end, she moved away and then fell on Lian Mu, "There has just been a happy event in your house. I wanted to go, but my body is not strong enough."
"What did the old lady say? It turns out that it was the juniors who came to greet you." After saying that, he waved to An Hongshao, indicating that she would stand up and salute the old lady.
Since the old lady mentioned this matter, she naturally wanted to meet An Hongshao.
An Hongshao stood up quickly. This was the first time she showed her face. She couldn't make any mistakes in her salute, and her voice couldn't tremble, so as not to show off her petty attitude.
"Come closer and let me take a look." The old lady squinted her eyes, as if she couldn't see An Hongshao's face clearly.
Under the attention of everyone, An Hongshao stepped forward step by step, his head hanging slightly, showing the humility that a junior should have.
The old lady took An Hongshao and sat in front of her. She kept looking at him, then her eyes widened, "If your grandma sees you, she will be happy."
"Mom, don't be sad." Seeing the tears in the old lady's eyes, Mrs. Pang quickly handed over the handkerchief.
The old lady wiped the corners of her eyes, "Yes, this is a good thing." After saying that, she took off a full-length emerald green bracelet from her wrist and put it on An Hongshao's wrist. "This is my wedding gift for you." .”
"This is impossible." An Hongshao quickly refused.
Lian's mother smiled and said, "Hongshao, why don't you thank the old lady quickly?"
The idea is to let An Hongshao accept the gift with peace of mind.
Because of the old lady's actions, the eyes of the people present changed again and again.
When people get married, they need to give gifts, maybe bracelets, which must be from the mother's family.
An Hongshao showed up for the first time. Naturally, this bracelet was given to the Li family. The relationship between the Taifu and the Chief Assistant is really unusual, so the way everyone looks at the Feng family is a bit intriguing.
