When Yan Xin went to the Governor's Mansion, she tried her best to avoid meeting Sheng Rouzhen.

Even if Yan Xin has nothing to do with Jing Yuanzhao, Sheng Rouzhen cannot tolerate her.

Yan Xin knew Sheng Rouzhen very well. She was always competitive and could not accept that those around her were superior to her.

After rebirth, Yan Xin is destined to be no ordinary housewife. She will definitely dominate Rouzhen's limelight.

Sheng Rouzhen would hate her no matter what.

Even if Yan Xin pretends to be generous and gives in at every turn, she cannot win Sheng Rouzhen's favor. Unless she is cowardly and incompetent, she is no better than Sheng Rouzhen.

"A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall." If you know that this person is jealous, you should not provoke her from time to time.

What Yan Xin was thinking about was the mood of the governor's wife.

Yan Xin is not really nineteen years old after all, she has experienced too much. She understands very well how a mother feels about her child.

A mother will not immediately stop loving her child just because she is bad or disappointed with her. Emotions are not like light bulbs. You can turn them on when you want and turn them off when you want.

"...Are you going?" Sheng Rouzhen spoke to Yan Xin at the dining table.

Yan Xin was distracted and didn't hear.

Zhang Nanshu saw her dazed for a moment and immediately answered: "Go. I'm just bored, let's go and join in the fun."

Then he asked, "Did she invite boys?"

Sheng Rouzhen smiled: "Your nanny knows you think so and will tell you."

"You have a civilized atmosphere in the south, so you will naturally have gentlemen as companions at the banquet. Whenever my nurse says something, I will call her a 'countryman', and she can't stand it," Zhang Nanshu said.

Madam: "Naughty, don't go against your wet nurse all day long."

"I know." Zhang Nanshu agreed, and then said to Sheng Rouzhen, "Zhuzhu and I are going. But does Miss Guo welcome Zhuzhu? Mr. Guo hates Zhuzhu very much."

The wife answered: "Master Guo has his own position. As a general, he has his merits and abilities. Don't just see his shortcomings and disrespect his abilities. You will suffer a loss."

When Yan Xin heard this, she vaguely understood something.

After dinner, Zhang Nanshu sent Yan Xin home.

"...What are you thinking about? I can tell at a glance that you are absent-minded. Are you tired in the afternoon? Or are you worried about Tie Gupada going to fight?" Zhang Nanshu asked a series of questions.

Yan Xin: "No, I'm thinking about Sheng Rouzhen."

Zhang Nanshu: "She is sitting next to you and talking to you. What do you want her to do?"

"...What invitation did you agree to?" Yan Xin changed the subject.

Zhang Nanshu: "You really didn't listen to a word! Mr. Guo's daughter, we met last time, I pointed it out to you, Guo Qinian.

During the seasonal "light snow", there is a custom in Yicheng. What is making tea around the stove? "

Yan Xin: "Bake a pot of tea and put on all kinds of refreshments when it's snowing, so that you won't get frostbite this winter."

"Miss Guo took advantage of this season to hold a banquet and invited many people. She asked Sheng Rouzhen to invite you." Zhang Nanshu said.

Yan Xin: "Why didn't she invite me?"

"Didn't Sheng Rouzhen say that you didn't reply to my post?" Zhang Nanshu said.

Yan Xin: "..."

Back at Songxiangyuan, Yan Xin asked Aunt Cheng to make some refreshing scented tea, and asked Aunt Feng to dig out the invitations she had received during this period.

Since she became the adopted daughter of the Governor's Mansion, she often receives various invitations.

Yan Xin never responds to anyone.

Call her arrogant or cautious, she just avoids being too pushy.

After a banquet, all kinds of comments and rumors were flying everywhere.

Yan Xin is too busy, battling wits and courage with the Jiang family all day long, and also needs to manage the pharmacy and prepare medicines. She avoided these social and entertainment banquets whenever she could.

There is less excitement and a lot less trouble.

"Is this it, miss?" Feng's mother pulled out an invitation.

Zhang Nanshu grabbed it: the gilded invitation was beautifully decorated, and the invitation text inside was also written sincerely.

"That's it." Zhang Nanshu said, "The Guo family also sent me an invitation. The handwriting is prettier than this one. It should have been written by the concierge; and yours was probably written by Miss Guo herself."

Yan Xin understands.

Since she agreed to Sheng Rouzhen, she asked Feng's mother to find a post, write a reply, and ask someone to send it to Guo Qinian tomorrow morning.

"...Know yourself and know your enemy. Let me tell you about Miss Guo." Zhang Nanshu doesn't plan to leave tonight. She wants to stay in Songxiangyuan.

Yan Xin asked Banxia to change into clean sheets and pillowcases, take out her pajamas, prepare washing utensils, etc.

"Do you know that Mr. Guo only has two children?" Zhang Nanshu asked.

Yan Xin was slightly surprised: "Really?"

The first time she met Mr. Guo, he brought his beautiful third concubine. The third aunt had a good jade bamboo fan, and Jing Yuanzhao specially wanted to come over and give it to Yan Xin.

The second time he met Mr. Guo was at a more formal banquet, and he brought the fair-skinned Mrs. Guo with him.

At first glance, Mrs. Guo had a good-natured temperament and could not control Mr. Guo, so Yan Xin thought that Mr. Guo must have many children in his family.

"One son and one daughter. Guo Yuan's son was married twice, and both times his wife died of illness, leaving him without a son and a half. His daughter Guo Qinian was raised at her aunt's house since she was a child." Zhang Nanshu said.

"why?"

"It is said that her zodiac sign conflicted with her grandmother. The old lady was seriously ill for a while. Guo Yuan was a filial son, so he entrusted his daughter to his sister." Zhang Nanshu said.

Yan Xin: "..."

"Guo Yuan's brother-in-law has opened several martial arts schools and has thousands of apprentices." Zhang Nanshu added, "As for Miss Guo, she has been practicing martial arts with her martial arts master at her aunt's house since she was a child, and she has quite a lot of skills."

"I really didn't expect it." Yan Xin said.

Zhang Nanshu: "Some time ago, the old lady of the Guo family passed away, and Guo Yuan took her daughter back. When you go to the banquet, take Bai Shuang with you. If Miss Guo takes action, you can't beat her."

Yan Xin laughed: "That was her banquet. If she dares to hurt others, Yicheng will not have a good reputation in the future."

"Just in case." Zhang Nanshu said.

Yan Xin listened to the advice and nodded: "My name is Bai Shuang and never leave me."

On this day of seasonal light snow, there was a drizzle and it was extremely cold.

Yan Xin wore a lotus-colored satin jacket, a long white silk skirt, and a fur cloak. The clothes were wide and the satin jacket had a lining pocket. She hid a silver needle in the pocket.

"Miss, why are you bringing a silver needle when you go out to be a guest?" Ban Xia, who was helping her change, asked.

Yan Xin: "Be prepared for a rainy day. Small gadgets that don't take up space."

Bai Shuang drove and first arrived at the door of Guo Mansion.

The Guo Mansion's house is large, with wide terraces. Several cars are parked, and men and women holding umbrellas shuttle around, making it very lively.

Yan Xin was holding an umbrella from Bai Shuang and wearing a pair of rain-proof clogs. She walked slowly.

The stewardess led the way and took their master and servant to the West Flower Hall.

Passing through the corridor, I saw a person holding several brocade boxes in his hands and walking out quickly.

The brocade boxes were piled up, almost blocking his sight, but he walked in a hurry.

When Yan Xin and Bai Shuang were passing by, a brocade box fell down. Bai Shuang reached out to catch it and put it away for him.

The man behind the brocade box looked up at Bai Shuang and nodded: "Thank you."

Bai Shuang nodded and said nothing.

The man walked out, but Bai Shuang frowned slightly and took a breath of cold air.

Yan Xin noticed it and asked her, "What's wrong?"
