[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

Xu Xiaoliu looked at everyone's curious eyes and said with a complicated expression: "The Princess of Anyang. She is the Princess of Anyang who caused a scene at the banquet of Shun'an Marquis's Mansion and beat up Concubine Liang's niece in front of many ladies."

As soon as these words came out, Xu Xiaoqi screamed, "Isn't that more ferocious than Third Sister? That should be called a tigress, right?"

Xu Xiaojiu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a sly smile: "Oh, Seventh Brother, you're done! You actually called the county lady a tigress behind her back! Oh, you're done!"

"Xu Xiaojiu, if you dare to tell anyone, I will tear your mouth apart." Xu Xiaoqi rushed over again and started fighting with Xu Xiaojiu.

After hearing the name of Anyang County Princess, Xu Changping's eyebrows unconsciously curved.

"Who is the girl with her?" he asked casually.

Xu Xiaoliu flipped through the booklet and said slowly, "Well, it should be the fifth daughter of Shun'an Marquis's Mansion. It is said that when Princess Anyang made a scene at the flower banquet, she was slandered by a group of people including Concubine Liang's niece. Fortunately, the fifth daughter of Shun'an Marquis's Mansion stood up to testify for Princess Anyang. After that, the Princess's Mansion and Shun'an Marquis's Mansion had exchanges, and the relationship between the Princess Anyang and the fifth daughter became much closer."

After talking about the situation of the Fifth Miss of Shun'an Marquis's Mansion, Xu Xiaoliu asked casually, "Why did Fifth Brother think of asking about Fifth Miss Yun?"

"Nothing. Just a casual question."

Xu Changping said perfunctorily, but his sight passed through the telescope and fell on Yun Shu who was far away beside Anyang County Princess.

Everyone else was afraid of the county lady, hated her, and stayed away from her. Only the fifth daughter of the Yun family stayed close to the county lady, looking at her with a focused and warm gaze, full of worship and admiration.

He had received that kind of look before, countless times.

But now, such a clean and pure gaze only exists in dreams.

He didn't know why, but when he saw the look Miss Yun Wu gave Princess Anyang, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

The image of Miss Yun Wu looking at him with admiration flashed through his mind...and his heart began to beat wildly.

"Fifth brother, who are you looking at? Why are you taking so long?" After Xu Xiaoqi and Xu Xiaojiu finished playing, they came up to him and looked into the garden in the direction of the telescope.

Xu Changping collected his thoughts, put down the telescope, and said calmly, "Don't you want me to see it? I just looked at everyone, and there's nothing special."

"Oh, so that's it. I thought Fifth Brother had chosen a certain lady." Xu Xiaoqi couldn't hide his disappointment and said, "Fifth Brother, you don't like any of them? Didn't you see them clearly? How about you take another look?"

Xu Changpingjiang handed over the telescope, smiled and shook his head, "No need. You can take a look."

He walked back to the table, picked up the book and continued reading. However, his heart was a little restless.

***

When everyone was present, Old Madam Zheng appeared in the garden with her three daughters-in-law.

After exchanging pleasantries with everyone for a while, the banquet officially began.

It was called a tea-tasting party, but the real intention was clear to everyone.

Therefore, everyone symbolically tasted the tribute tea prepared by the Anguo Mansion, praised the quality of the tea, and soon turned the topic to casual chat.

Madam Zheng smiled and looked at Madam Luo. "The old lady is a few years older than me, but she looks more energetic than me. She really is getting younger and younger as she gets older."

Mrs. Luo also smiled and responded: "Oh, I'm too old to move now. If it weren't for the banquet at your house, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to move my legs to go out."

Madam Zheng smiled and said, "It is truly an honor for our family!" Then she asked casually, "Oh, by the way, why haven't I seen your granddaughter? I have heard that the girls in the Taifu Mansion are all first-class gentle and virtuous. Now I can finally see one. Why don't you call her over so that I can take a look?"

Madam Zheng spoke in a very familiar tone, and Madam Luo was very happy to hear it. She waved towards the corner of the garden where the little girls gathered.

Since the Pinming Banquet officially started, the young ladies have been sitting at the table in an orderly manner.

While the elder was talking, the young lady was quietly paying attention to his actions, as if she had been prepared.

Sure enough, as soon as Madam Luo waved her hand, the two young ladies of the Zhang family slowly stood up and walked towards that direction gracefully.

Princess Anyang looked at the two sisters of the Zhang family being so shy and couldn't help but grin. She leaned close to Yun Shu's ear and whispered, "How fake!"

Yun Shu glanced at Princess Anyang, suppressed her laughter, and nodded in agreement.

"I heard that the Duke of Anguo's Mansion is going to meet a girl for their fifth son today." Princess Anyang approached Yun Shu again and whispered, "Before coming here, I asked someone to find out. It is said that the fifth son is a cripple. And he is already 20 years old this year. The reason why they waited until now to meet him is probably because of his leg disease."

Yun Shu's eyes flashed with surprise, but she suppressed her curiosity, tugged at Anyang County Lady's hand, and whispered, "Don't you hate people talking about others behind their backs? Why are you still talking about others behind their backs?"

Princess Anyang stuck out her tongue and said embarrassedly, "I'm just afraid that you might want to marry into the Anguo Mansion. If it weren't for watching you, I wouldn't have come to the banquet today."

Yun Shu looked at Princess Anyang in surprise.

Then Princess Anyang whispered, "In fact, the Duke of Anguo's Mansion didn't invite me at all. I heard that they invited your mansion, so I sent someone to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion to ask for the invitation."

Hearing this, Yun Shu choked on her own saliva.

There are also people who go directly to people’s homes to ask for invitations! ?

All I can say is that she is worthy of being the Princess of Anyang County who makes her admire her so much!

While the two were talking in low voices, the young ladies from the surrounding families came over to Old Madam Zheng one after another and then came back.

Soon, the only people who were not called over to talk were Yun Shu and two or three others.

Just when it was Yun Shu's turn, a woman who looked like an old woman came over quickly with a frightened look on her face and whispered something into Madam Zheng's ear.

Madam Zheng stood up in surprise and joy, bowed to everyone present, and said apologetically, "Please forgive me, I'll be back soon."

Having said this, he left a few daughters-in-law behind to entertain the guests and quickly followed the mother-in-law out of the garden.

Not long after, when Madam Zheng came back, there were a few more people around her.

Princess Anyang looked over there and saw a lady in brocade clothes with nobility written on her face walking in with Liang Yulan. Behind her were four maids in palace costumes.

At this moment, everyone stood up and saluted: "Princess, may you be blessed with good health and happiness."
