This kind-faced old lady is the imperial concubine of the Duke's Mansion, and her title is lower than that of the old lady. However, the relationship between the two has always been good, and they can be regarded as old best friends for many years.
During the time when the old lady was sending the white-haired person away from the black-haired person, the Duke's wife also came to comfort her and would attend every banquet.
And she is also the old lady with the highest status in this banquet, besides the old lady.
Therefore, when speaking in front of the old lady, there is no anger.
The old lady looked in the direction of Xia Jin.
"Do you think she is worthy of Zi Yi?"
The Duke's wife looked towards Xia Jin.
"It's impressive to be able to chat with other ladies so quickly. You must know that these ladies have a strong sense of class. Normally, they would not even look at people with status, especially slave status."
"But she has the ability to be quickly accepted by them and get along well with them, and she also becomes the center of attention. This is enough to show that this woman is not simple!"
The Duke's wife looked at the old lady and did not answer. Instead, she asked: "The old lady has a vicious eye on people. If you don't have real ability, you won't be able to catch the old lady. Please tell me what you like about her."
You actually want to make an exception and allow a slave woman to enter the general's mansion?"
"Just because she cured my grandson's anorexia!" the old lady said with a smile.
She would never admit that she wanted to get Xia Jin started early because she wanted to be able to eat Xia Jin's assorted and delicious noodles every day.
Of course, this is not the reason why the old lady likes Xia Jin. The bigger reason is that after so many years, she has never seen Lin Ziyi fall in love with any woman.
The duke’s wife, who didn’t know what was going on, looked like she suddenly realized what was going on.
"It's not bad to be a concubine after redeeming your slave status. However, children born to those who have been slaves cannot serve as officials in the court."
This point made the old lady embarrassed. Indeed, as the Duke's wife said, Yan State has this law.
Even if those who were slaves were converted to regular status, their children would not be able to serve as officials in the court.
The old lady frowned...but then she thought, if she doesn't want to be an official or a general in the court, then she should just go into business!
His brows suddenly widened and he said to the Duke's wife: "Let them make their own decisions about the affairs of young people. Zi Yi himself has the final say in this matter!"
The Duke's wife chuckled, "What the old lady is saying is that we should care more about ourselves. Let the young people take care of their own affairs. However, it is best for the old lady to take care of some matters in principle."
Okay, by the way, have you heard about the Prime Minister’s Mansion?”
"I heard about it," the old lady said.
The Duke's wife rolled her eyes and said: "Miss Qu from the Prime Minister's Mansion comes to the General's Mansion very diligently. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that she has secretly made a promise! This is indeed an excellent marriage!"
The old lady thought thoughtfully. Miss Qu's identity was indeed good, and she was a good match for Lin Ziyi. However, the old lady didn't like her, and she didn't know why. In short, she felt disgusted after seeing her.
It is precisely because of this willingness that the old lady has not been able to match her. When the Duke's wife mentioned it, the old lady suddenly realized it.
This old best friend of mine is here to act as a matchmaker!
"Let's ask Ziyi for his opinion on this matter when he comes back!" said the old lady.
The Duke's wife chuckled, "There is no need to ask so clearly about the parents' orders for the matchmaker, the old lady just makes the decision!"
"You don't know that Ziyi has a stubborn personality and no one can change the things he is determined to do. Besides, the young man has to make the final say on marriage matters!"
Seeing the old lady's insistence, the Duke's wife sighed helplessly and said to herself: Lin Ziyi has not yet gotten married at the age of twenty-eight, which is why the old lady said, 'Young people have the final say'!
If the old lady arranged it sincerely, Lin Ziyi would have gotten married long ago!
After lunch, the banquet was over and the guests left one after another. When Xia Jin left the general's mansion, a girl chased him.
It was the lady in purple who had been gossiping with Xia Jin.
"Your name is Xia Jin, right?"
"Miss Ping, do you have anything else to do with me?" Miss Ziyi's name is Ping Ronger, she is the daughter of Deputy General Ping, and her father served as deputy general in Lin Ziyi's army.
"Have you been to the Chamber of Commerce? Otherwise, how would you know about Mr. Qu? I would like to ask, do you know how Mr. Qu is doing now? Is... is he seriously ill?"
Looking at her worried eyes and her tone that softened as soon as the word 'Mr. Gu' was mentioned, I couldn't help but click my tongue.
This is another ignorant girl who thought she was deceived by Qu Rongjie!
Thinking of the tragic experience of her predecessor, she seemed to see a second predecessor. As someone who had a lot of evidence of the scumbag Qu Yunjie, how could Xia Jin just watch her be deceived.
"Miss Ping likes Mr. Qu?" Xia Jin asked.
Ping Ronger lowered her head, her cheeks flushed, "There are many people who like Mr. Qu..."
Xia Jin's brows jumped, what's so good about that thing?
"I don't know very well, but I think it shouldn't be a big deal," Xia Jin said.
Ping Ronger breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Thank you Miss Xia for letting me know. If you have any information about Mr. Qu in the future, please tell me and I will reward you!"
After saying that, he took off the silver bracelet from his wrist, stuffed it into Xia Jin's hand, then turned around, entered the sedan and left.
Xia Jin looked at the silver bracelet in her hand, feeling extremely helpless!!
"Xia Jin!" A high-pitched voice came from behind.
Xia Jin looked back, oh, isn't she Sister Jiazi!
"You really stole the show just now! You told lies without blinking an eye!" Qi Luoyun's face was gloomy.
She should be the protagonist of today's party!
Now Xia Jin has stolen the limelight!
Xia Jin's brows twitched and she said speechlessly: "I was kind enough to help you smooth things over, but you still blame me for stealing your limelight and calling me a liar. I think the liar is you yourself? You've obviously never been there, but you still pretend to be fat. You want to
Not for the sake of my apprentice, I wouldn’t even bother to talk to you!”
"What apprentice? What the hell are you talking about!" Qi Luoyun was furious.
Xia Jin waved her hand, rarely saying anything more, and got on her sedan chair.
Seeing that she was gone, Qi Luoyun was furious, and when she got on the sedan and reached a narrow road, she waved to the maid beside her.
"When they pass by the smelly ditch later, let the bearers knock their sedans down!"
Xia Jin was sitting in the sedan when the carriage suddenly bumped, the sedan bearer stumbled and fell to the ground, and the sedan fell into the ditch.
"Miss!" Si Ji shouted, going to save people, but saw Xia Jin standing on the side of the road, and the sedan had sunk half into the ditch.
Qi Luoyun's sedan walked past Xia Jin and the others. The wind blew the curtains, and Xia Jin happened to see Qi Luoyun's arrogant face.
"Miss...are you okay?" Siji asked worriedly.
Xia Jin shook his head, "Let's go to Desheng Tower!"
"Didn't we say we were going to the Food God Hall?"
"Go to the Food God Hall first and find someone to settle the score!"
