I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle

For a moment, Cui Shuyan was a little undecided.

After doing horse stance for a while, Cui Shuyan told Shi Liu: "Go and find out who else she has invited."

This information was not difficult to find out, and Shi Liu found out quickly.

The Minister of Rites' surname is Jia. Unlike Minister Jia who is old-fashioned and polite, Mrs. Jia is a kind-hearted and lively person.

She had two major hobbies in her life, one was matchmaking, and the other was hosting banquets to facilitate matchmaking.

Every summer, she holds a lotus viewing banquet.

It was also because of this that she gathered a number of gardeners who were good at growing lotus flowers. Nowadays, the lotus flowers in her back garden are the best blooming in the entire capital.

It is said that every summer, the lady in the capital city looks forward to the lotus viewing banquet held in the Jia Mansion the most.

Every time we hold a lotus viewing banquet, many good relationships are achieved.

Cui Shuyan had no intention of joining in the fun.

Who would have thought that Zhao Siyue would come not long after.

This was Zhao Siyue’s first visit, and he brought a lot of gifts.

After the greetings, Zhao Siyue asked, "Shuyan, did you also receive the invitation to the Lotus Appreciation Banquet at the Jia Mansion?"

"received."

"Are you planning on going?"

"not going to."

"Let's go." Zhao Siyue said.

Cui Shuyan was a little puzzled: "Why?"

"You should go out and meet more people. I happen to have a few good friends who are familiar to you, so I'll take this opportunity to introduce them to you."

"OK then."

The lotus viewing banquet will be held in three days.

Cui Shuyan naturally had no intention of getting married. She just casually wore a sky-blue long dress. Her hair accessories were also simple. She used the cloisonné plum blossom hairpin that Mu Qingyun had just made. It was simple yet elegant.

As soon as she arrived at the Jia Mansion, she met Zhao Siyue.

Zhao Siyue's face was full of smiles: "Shuyan, I finally waited for you. Let's go and sit in the pavilion over there for a while."

For some reason, Cui Shuyan always felt something was weird, but she couldn’t tell exactly what was wrong.

Zhao Siyue couldn't possibly harm her, but why did he repeatedly suggest that she come to today's banquet?

If you want to introduce a good friend to her, wouldn't it be more comfortable to meet her at home?

After all, judging from the situation today, there must be quite a few people coming to the Jia Mansion to attend the banquet.

While wondering, the two soon arrived at a pavilion not far away.

This pavilion is built beside the lotus pond, and you can have a panoramic view of the lotus flowers blooming nearby.

After sitting down, you can also smell the faint fragrance of lotus.

As soon as the two sat down, a maid came over to serve tea.

"My two distinguished guests, this is the lotus tea that we specially prepared for you two. Please enjoy it slowly."

Zhao Siyue smiled politely and asked the maid behind him to give the reward.

Afterwards, she pushed the tea in front of her towards Cui Shuyan and introduced it, "The lotus tea from the Jia Mansion is very special. It is said that the tea leaves are placed in the lotus buds in advance, so that the tea leaves will absorb the fragrance of the lotus. When the lotus flowers are fully bloomed, the tea leaves are taken out and they will have an elegant fragrance. Try it and see if it suits your taste."

Cui Shuyan agreed with a smile. She took a bite and found it tasted really good.

As the two were talking, they heard Zhao Simin's voice: "Well, you two are hiding here drinking tea without calling me."

Seeing Zhao Simin, Cui Shuyan was immediately happy: "Come quickly, there is still some lotus tea."

Zhao Simin sat down with a smile, picked up the tea and drank it.

Seeing Zhao Simin acting like this, Zhao Siyue glared at her and said, "We are outside, please be careful."

"Oh, sister, although we are outside, there are only three of us in the pavilion, and there are maids guarding outside the pavilion. What are we afraid of? Besides, even if someone sees us, what's the big deal? I'm already married, and there's no need to get married. There's nothing to be afraid of."

"If you dare to call me Big Sister again, I will punish you by making you copy the sutras!"

"you dare!"

"Do you think I dare?" Zhao Siyue changed the subject and said, "Min'er, why don't you go back? Sheng'er is still young, and the party will not end for a while. Sheng'er will make a fuss if she doesn't see you for a long time. Children are most afraid of making a fuss for a long time, which is not good for their throats."

"Sister, you are so weird."

"Nonsense! What's weird about me?" As he spoke, Zhao Siyue didn't look at Zhao Simin, but glanced at Cui Shuyan instead.

Cui Shuyan always felt that Zhao Siyue seemed to feel guilty when he looked at her.

But Zhao Siyue soon stopped looking at her.

This glance made Cui Shuyan feel puzzled.

She naturally knew that Zhao Siyue would not harm her, but why did Zhao Siyue's actions today seem so deliberate?

It was as if he was going to ask her to do something.

But the question is, if you want her to do something, just say it directly. Why are you being so secretive?

For a moment, Cui Shuyan was a little confused.

Zhao Simin was not stupid either: "Sister, I didn't intend to attend this lotus viewing banquet. But you sent someone to tell me to take good care of Sheng'er at home and not to attend today's banquet. This is not like you."

In the past, my sister always liked to bring her with her whenever she attended a party.

Because she was not as tactful as her sister in dealing with people, her sister was willing to give her practical advice at the banquet to tell her what she should and should not do.

Sometimes, there were parties that she didn’t want to attend, and her sister would get angry.

It was completely different from this time. He actually specifically asked her not to attend today's banquet. It was really strange.

Facing Zhao Simin's question, Zhao Siyue calmed down and said, "I think that now that you have Sheng'er and you treat Sheng'er as your own child, you should take good care of the child and fulfill your duties as a mother."

"My husband is at home today. I feel relieved to have him looking after Sheng'er."

"That's not right. He's a grown man and he can't take care of the child."

"Sister, you really have a problem today."

"nonsense!"

As the two were talking, they heard Mrs. Jia's voice coming from the front.

The banquet is about to officially begin.

The main purpose of this lotus viewing banquet is naturally to appreciate the lotus.

A trail has been built along the edge of the lotus pond. By walking along the trail, you can appreciate the lotus flowers in the entire pond.

Many people came out of the pavilion and followed the ladies to admire the lotus flowers along the trail.

Sisters Cui Shuyan and Zhao Siyue are no exception.

A few people were casually admiring the lotus flowers in the lotus pond. At this time, the discussions next to them also reached Cui Shuyan's ears.

"Cousin, have you heard that Prince Xie, the male guest, is also coming to attend the lotus viewing banquet today?"

"I heard that too."

"Ahhh, thank you Prince for coming too. Oh my god, I'm going to faint from happiness!"

"Don't yell. What are you dizzy about? I heard that the steps in front of Prince Xie's mansion are almost slipping due to the footsteps of all the matchmakers, but Prince Xie still hasn't said anything. It seems that Prince Xie doesn't like this person."

……

Hearing these discussions, Zhao Simin whispered to Cui Shuyan, "Shuyan, don't take their words to heart. They are just dreaming if they want to marry Xie Xingyuan."

"Don't worry, I'm not that stingy." As she said that, Cui Shuyan deliberately glanced at Zhao Siyue, only to find that what Zhao Siyue was looking at at the moment was the flower wall not far away.
