The Daqi New Year is approaching, and the streets are bustling with people.
The door of the Mi Mansion is open, and those who are related to the Mi family always come to celebrate the New Year and keep in touch.
The hall was full of male guests, making noisy noises with faint laughter, and it was very lively for a while.
Mr. Mi sits at home and accepts gifts from relatives or juniors.
In the side hall, Mrs. Mi was sitting at the main seat. Although there was no noise in the hall, the ladies were talking in low voices.
Mi Xiayao only felt a buzzing sound in the room.
In this huge capital city and Mi's mansion, there are no good playmates for Mi Xiayao.
She sat here with no intention of reminiscing.
But those relatives, ever since they heard that Mi Xiayao was named by the nobleman at the nobleman's birthday banquet, they all wanted to say hello to her.
"Ayao, do you know this person?"
Ge Shi changed his usual attitude of being a hater of Mi Xiayao, smiled brightly in front of this group of relatives, and pulled Lin Miao amiably.
Mi Xiayao was bored. She raised her eyelids and saw Ge Shi's malicious smile for the first time.
Then, she saw Lin Miao out of the corner of her eye.
"According to seniority, Ayao should still be your cousin. Our relationship is much closer than those relatives who are far away and cannot be reached."
Mi Xiayao's expression remained unchanged. She didn't even stand up from her seat, "Lin Miao, how could I not recognize him? He is so familiar."
The aunt and nephew each spoke at the same time, and they didn't care whether Lin Miao's face looked good or not.
"When I was still in Jingzhou City, she said that she had wandered to Jingzhou City, saying that no one at home would help her.
"Second Aunt, you don't know how miserable and miserable Lin Miao was back then."
Mi Xiayao looked at Lin Miao with a smile. She stretched out her hand calmly and hooked her fingers with her palm facing up.
Lin Miao knew very well what kind of relationship he had with Mi Xiayao.
Relatives were visiting today for the New Year, and she originally didn't want to come to Mi's house.
But now the Mi family is even more prominent in the capital than before.
Although Duan Honglin had a grudge against Mi Xiayao, he was unwilling to give up such a warm connection in the Mi family.
He thought, now that the Mi family has a certain status in Beijing, how could someone like Mi Xiayao be able to do this?
So no matter what, Lin Miao must take advantage of the New Year's visit today as an excuse to come to Mi's house to show her presence.
She had just entered the Mi Mansion and was dragged over by the second lady of the Mi family not even seeing Mrs. Mi's face.
He even entered the side hall in a daze.
By the time Lin Miao reacted, Ge Shi had already brought her to Mi Xiayao.
Mi Xiayao, as the protagonist of the Mi family, said generously: "How is it, Lin Miao, that you have gained a great support in Jingzhou City? Are you living a comfortable life?"
After seeing Lin Miao, Mrs. Ge specially asked someone to ask. She knew about the dispute between Lin Miao and Mi Xiayao, so she specially brought the person here.
The reason is to embarrass Mi Xiayao.
But despite all the calculations, Ge Shi never expected that she would have such a sudden and enlightened reaction.
The faces of the two people at the scene each had different colors, and Mi Xiayao's smile gradually deepened.
Next to Mi Xiayao sat a little girl from a branch of the Mi family.
At first glance, the girl was asked to chat with her by her elders in the family. She had a quick eye and could see the clues at once, but it was a pity that she was young and could not understand it deeply.
"Who is Miss Lin's husband...?"
Ge's face lit up with joy, and she immediately answered before Lin Miao could speak: "Her husband turned out to be A Yao's husband."
Mi Xiayao guessed that Ge Shi was harboring such evil intentions.
I just feel sorry for that little girl. When she heard about such a complicated relationship, her face turned pale on the spot.
Lin Miao wasn't necessarily happy either. Her status was disgraceful.
Coming to Mi Mansion was like a slap in the face. If Duan Honglin hadn't threatened her with neglecting her, she really didn't want to come today.
Geshi was very proud of himself and said: "I don't know what kind of ability that family has, but they can actually let two girls from our family pass there one after another."
"As far as I know, Duan Honglin is now a minor official in the Ministry of Rites, but the mansion still lacks a lady who can manage the house, ah...
"Second aunt's family seems to have a young lady who has just grown hair. Why don't you marry her?"
Mi Xia Yao looked at the malicious woman in front of her with a smile.
Geshi deliberately wanted to embarrass her in this situation.
It's a pity that she and Duan Honglin are on the stage to get together. Do you want to use this to humiliate her?
"As you said, our girls are willing to go before and after. Lin Miao is a relative with a foreign surname. The second aunt's daughter's surname is Mi. If she marries into the Duan family, she will gain a good name in the capital."
Mi Xiayao was smiling on the outside, but everything she said was cruel.
On the spot, Ge's expression changed.
The little girl sitting next to Mi Xiayao felt that it was really scary that these people were hiding their knives in their words and smiles.
She laughed dryly, found an excuse, and ran away.
Lin Miao's face didn't look too good either, "Second Madam, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
After she walked out of the side hall, Lin Miao gathered her clothes and said with a gloomy face: "Does this Ge family think I'm easy to bully? Then I'll take it as a flag to insult her. Who is he?"
In the side hall, Mi Xiayao looked at Ge Shi, who still looked unhappy, and chuckled.
"Second Auntie is really courageous. If I were you, I would never offend anyone casually. Who knows if she will rely on other people to achieve success in the future.
"You are the first to offend someone so carelessly. I have met so many people in the capital."
Mi Xiayao gave Ge a thumbs up, stood up and walked out.
Song Qiao saw his wife walking out, and finally took out a letter from her arms and handed it over.
"Madam, this is a letter sent from Tangzhou."
Ever since the last time Gu Yun and she drank together and she talked nonsense when she was drunk, there has been no other contact between them.
Mainly, Mi Xiayao was busy celebrating Princess Yongning's birthday first, and then her grandfather and father had been watching her surprisingly closely these past few days.
This meant that Mi Xiayao had no time to talk to Gu Yun about the Yuelai Building Chamber of Commerce.
In the letter, Gu Yun explained that the new year was coming, and the people of the big family in Tangzhou, she, the woman who was in charge of the outside world, needed to come forward to deal with the Gu clan members;
In the end, the letter also stated that she would go back to the embroidery workshop to talk to the embroiderer about whether to come to the capital to develop in the future.
"It seems that she listened to everything I said while drinking last time."
She put away the letter happily. Song Qiao tilted his head and asked worriedly: "Madam, after that..."
"Auntie! I found you in the yard!"
Far away in the distance, I could hear the emotional and excited voices of the servants.
Mi Xiayao quickly put away the letter in her hand and waited until the servant approached.
"Second Master Mi and Mr. Pei are about to have a quarrel in the front hall. Third Master asked me to come to you. Please follow me to the front hall."
