Mrs. Jiang smiled and said, "Inspector Pei is here."
After hearing her words, everyone stood up. Pei Zhi was the protagonist of today's banquet.
Pei Zhi said casually: "Old Madam, just call her as before, you can do whatever you want."
After all, he is a relative of the little girl, so in this regard, he still needs to be given the face he deserves.
The old lady nodded with satisfaction when she heard this. Yes, she did not think too highly of herself just because of her different status. Pei Zhi had always been a low-key character in this aspect.
It is a blessing for Li Yatou to have such an elder brother.
Pei Zhi's eyes fell on Jiang Li. Jiang Li sat on the right side of the old lady, and there was an empty seat next to her. The moment she met Pei Zhi's eyes, she waved to Pei Zhi and motioned for him to come over: "Third brother, come quickly!"
Pei Zhi then walked towards her side, lifted up his coat and sat down.
When the old lady saw that everyone had almost arrived, and was about to announce the start of the banquet, Madam Jiang seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Why didn't you see Axue?"
Several other people only realized now that Jiang Xue was not there.
Mrs. Jiang called the maid next to her over and was about to ask her to shout, but Jiang Xi suddenly said: "Mother, she has something to do today, so she probably won't come over."
When Mrs. Jiang heard her son say this, she had no doubt that he was there, "If that's the case, then she should have a good rest."
However, she felt a slight dissatisfaction. Ah Xue usually seemed very lively and always stayed by her side. But today, Ah Li was granted the title of County Lord and Pei Zhi came back, and she felt unwell.
Mrs. Jiang suppressed her thoughts. Could it be that she was jealous in this regard, so she didn't come over?
However, her attention was quickly diverted by the people in front of her. Ah Li became a county lord with real power, which brought countless benefits to the Jiang family and Ah Li herself.
If the master is alive in heaven, he will definitely be happy to know that Ah Li is not only back, but also has such a distinguished status now.
However, Jiang Zhen turned his attention to Jiang Xi. His younger brother always looked at Jiang Xue like a baby, but today something was slightly different.
Could it be that what he said last time made Jiang Xi finally make a decision?
After Pei Zhi sat down, he looked at Jiang Li who was staring at him intently. He gently put the back of his hand on her forehead and said with a half-smile, "Why, look at me like this."
Jiang Li came back to her senses and held her face in her hands. Pei Zhi's appearance was reflected in her eyes, and she looked extremely serious when speaking.
"Third brother, this dress looks really good."
After saying this, she pulled up the sleeves of her own clothes and showed him: "Besides, my clothes match well."
Jiangli has always liked green, and most of her clothes are mainly green.
After Pei Zhi heard what he said, he noticed that the two people were wearing matching clothes and sitting together in the same place, which was very conspicuous.
There was a burst of satisfaction in his heart.
When I went out today, I didn't know why, but I just felt that this green dress was particularly pleasing to the eye. It turned out to be because I brought a little girl with me.
The old lady sighed and said, "Now everyone is here except Zhou'er's family."
Jiang Li smiled and said: "Big brother will be back in a few days!"
My little nephew still has to be held in his arms when his brother leaves, so he should be able to learn to walk a few steps.
She had never cared about this aspect in her previous life. She couldn't even protect herself, so how could she take care of her nephew.
Jiang Li always liked shrimps, so Pei Zhi stretched out his hand, peeled them carefully for her, and put them on her plate.
Jiang Li rolled his eyes: "Thank you, third brother."
I still remember the last time when the third brother was preparing to go to His Majesty, the family also prepared a farewell banquet for him. He was also carefully peeling the shrimps on the plate for himself just like he is now.
It's great to be like this now.
When Pei Zhi saw the little girl like this, he felt warm in his heart.
At this moment, there was a sound outside the yard, saying that the Hua family brothers and sisters were coming.
After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang stood up and greeted with a smile: "Let them come in quickly."
Her niece has always had a good relationship with Ah Li. Her nephew also came to attend Ah Li's banquet last time.
In fact, Mrs. Jiang hadn't seen her nephew for a long time, but there were too many things going on at that time, and she didn't have time to say a few words.
When I came here at this time, I guess I came to know that Ah Li was named the county lord and came here to congratulate him.
The waiter quickly welcomed the person in. Hua Yue was as usual, dressed in purple and with a very cool temperament.
Hua Tingye followed her, wearing a white cloak and looking elegant and tight.
The two of them saluted the old lady, called Mrs. Jiang "aunt", and were arranged to sit on the left side of the old lady, facing Jiang Li and Jiang Li.
The servants added two pairs of bowls and chopsticks.
There was a hint of smile in Hua Yue's tone, and she spoke to the old lady: "I have long heard from Xiaolihua that the cooks on my grandmother's side are all very good at cooking, so today is a coincidence."
The two families have a good relationship, and they both call her grandma.
The old lady was amused by her words: "If you like it, you can come often in the future."
Hua Yue agreed without any hesitation: "That's good!"
The atmosphere immediately became lively. After Hua Ting Ye saw several people talking, he said: "Today I learned that my cousin was named the Lord of Yong'an County. Our Hua family is also very proud of it. My father specially prepared some congratulatory gifts for me. People have seen it.”
The attendant took out the gift list and handed it to the old lady.
The old lady looked at the page full of gift lists, the smile on her face became brighter, and she told the nanny beside her: "Go to my warehouse later and send over my century-old ginseng."
The Hua family has always done an excellent job in etiquette.
Mrs. Jiang was very satisfied when she saw the full gift list.
Her natal family was her backing. The Hua family sent so many things here to maintain the relationship between the two families. On the other hand, it also gave her face.
The Hua family and the Jiang family have long been inseparable.
Everyone ate the dishes and exchanged pleasantries. Only then did Hua Yue have time to look at Jiang Li in front of him.
She said in a cheerful tone: "Xiao Lihua, now you are the head of the county. I wonder who else will dare to offend you in the future."
Jiang Li was a little amused when she heard this: "Cousin, with you by my side, who dares to offend me?"
Hua Yue was very satisfied when he heard this, "That's true."
Hua Tingye cupped his hands and said warmly, "Congratulations, cousin."
Jiang Li nodded to him and said, "How are you, cousin?"
When Pei Zhi saw the action between the two, he felt a little unhappy for no reason.
The little girl already has four brothers including herself. When did she get another cousin?
Jiang Li seemed to suddenly remember something and leaned towards Hua Yue's ear: "Cousin, when I was in the third brother's study before, I saw that the third brother collected Mr. Huai'an's calligraphy. Can I assume that my cousin is Mr. Huai'an's calligraphy? Tell third brother what happened."
Jiang Li raised her hand again and vowed: "Third brother will definitely not tell anyone."
Pei Zhi has very few things that he is interested in, so he won't have time to talk about this aspect of things.
Before Hua Yue could speak, Hua Tingye smiled and said, "Of course it's okay."
Jiang Li met his eyes, and Hua Tingye looked at her with eyes that seemed to be pregnant with a crescent moon, bright and gentle.
