I fought back after reselling my engagement

It would be fine if it was her own daughter, Zhen Su picked out items that were worth a lot of money. And then there were the jewelry that Zhen Rong picked out, so why should she pay for it too? The third family had separated a long time ago.

The corners of Yu's mouth twitched again and again. She was the one who invited the person, and now that she had an attack, the old lady could scold her severely. She signaled to the maid.

The shopkeeper said: "I wish the old lady good health and happiness! I wish the madam good health!"

He made a lot of money this time, four thousand taels of silver, and he would use it to give some worthless small jewelry as rewards to his servants. He had always done this in the past. He also prepared a bag of silver hairpins, silver rings, silver earrings and other things.

The old lady said, "When I came here, many noble ladies in the capital were preparing for this flower-viewing party. I asked Ping'er to inquire about it. It seems that the Zhou family's flower-viewing party is held by the Zhou family. Tomorrow, the Concubine Shu and the eldest princess will attend. The imperial concubines of each family will bring their sons and daughters of marriageable age. The fifth prince of Concubine Shu and the eldest princess's legitimate son have all reached the age of marriage."

She had just arrived and she checked all these things out.

The old lady was quite dissatisfied. "What did you do as the mistress of the house? You didn't investigate such a big thing. Forget it. I guess you just thought it was a gathering of the second girl's friends and didn't think about it more than that. So, I have to take care of this kind of thing."

The old lady changed her position and said, "I am tired today. You all should go away. There will be a flower viewing party at the Grand Secretary's Mansion tomorrow morning."

Because Yu's mansion spent more than four thousand taels of silver at once, although the housekeeper brought back a box of silver jewelry after some persuasion, it was only twenty taels of silver at most. But the housekeeper felt that she had gotten a great deal.

The fourth girl was the third wife of the first wife, and she had plenty of money to spend. She chose such expensive jewelry, which cost more than a thousand taels. How long would it take her to save up for it? Mrs. Zhen San was rich, and she didn't give a single cent to the first wife. She had everything in her own hands.

Yu had long forgotten that on the day of the Third Wife's marriage ceremony, Zhen Su was not there, but her three children were given generous gifts, and the gift for each was no less than six hundred taels of silver. Only Zhen Su was not included because Su was ill at the time and she did not return to the suburbs since she was in the capital.

The girls bowed and left in unison.

Zhen Rong called out "Second Sister" and whispered, "I'm going to wear pink tomorrow, what color are you going to wear?"

"Blue." Zhen Su replied.

Zhen Rong asked: "Blue, is this appropriate?"

"The colors are pretty good. My sister looks good in pink, apricot yellow, and red. I look calm in blue." Zhen Su said.

When the old lady heard her say blue, she felt that the color was not suitable.

Zhen Zhen secretly laughed in her heart: Wearing blue is a color that adult women wear, and you can't support this color unless you are over 30 years old.

Zhen Zhu had been waiting for so long, but in the end, the old lady said that she couldn't go, but the other three sisters could all go.

Yu said, "You have to change your habit of glaring at people and pouting. If the old lady sees you again, she will get angry with you. When your eldest sister is getting married, ..."

"My eldest sister is already married, so it's not appropriate for her to go now."

"Shut up. Before this is successful, it must not be spread out. Even your father cannot know about it."

"I wanna go!"

"You are only twelve years old. You will have plenty of opportunities in the future. If I don't let your elder sister go, what will I say when the old lady asks about it? It's better for your elder sister to go. Maybe she can see Prince Rong and talk to him. Then she can leave a good impression on him."

The eldest daughter is getting married, and if she is not allowed to attend, the old lady will definitely become suspicious. It is better for her to go.

Zhen Zhu hurriedly discussed with her eldest sister and decided to invite the old lady to the flower-viewing banquet, but she couldn't go and her eldest sister went instead.

At 9 p.m., Aunt Meng went to the embroidery building in person and took out two sets of clothes, one in pine green and one in pale blue. The styles of the two sets were excellent and the labor cost twice as much, but it was worth it.

Zhen Su held the jewelry box and matched the clothes with the pale blue ones. Usually, she would wear an extra set of clothes when attending grand events so that she would have something to change into in case it got dirty. This tribute satin was really beautiful, but it was a pity that once it got dirty, she could only wear it once and then wear it again.

The next night, she bathed and went to bed. At five o'clock in the morning, she got up and dressed up. She was at the age of a flower. After Aunt Meng combed her hair and tied it up, a charming girl appeared, as if a fairy who had strayed into the human world. She had grown taller, but she would grow taller. She remembered that in her previous life, when she married into the Lu family, she was still growing at the age of eighteen. Later, her stature was relatively tall among girls.

She looks like her mother and grandmother, but her stature is like that of the Zhen family. Both men and women are tall.

Zhen Su did not bring a new pine green dress, but a moon-white dress. This dress was given to her by her second cousin earlier. It was too small for her second cousin before she even wore it, so she gave it to her because she thought it was fashionable.

Aunt Meng pulled her aside and explained, "For a banquet like this, you should avoid going to crowded and lively places, and you should also avoid going to places where there are no people, as this can easily lead to accidents. Chunyan will stay in the carriage, and if the young lady needs anything, she will be there to help, but you are not allowed to run around."

Zhen Su tilted her head and thought about it. In her previous life, there was no such grand event. In fact, there was no victory in which the Qidan people were driven back to the north. Later, they did win, but it was eight years later. At that time, she fell ill and was confused. She vaguely heard Lu Xiaomei crying, "Sister-in-law, Da Qi won a great victory in the north. The three armies are going to return to the court. Brother is coming back. Why are you sick?"

She could not come back until eight years later. She was only twenty-two or twenty-three years old. She had never held a man's hand, nor had she been hugged by a man. It was gone just like that. She felt really aggrieved.

It was good that they won a great victory ahead of time. It didn't take eight years for the world to be at peace, and many people would have been saved. Although it was hateful that the general threatened her that day, she would not bother with a hero considering that the world was at peace and the people lived and worked in peace. Heroes always have some strange temperaments that are incomprehensible.

When Zhen Su arrived at the second gate, the old lady had changed into a navy blue dress and looked very smart; Zhen Zhen changed into a pine green satin dress and put on a thick layer of powder on her face; Zhen Rong wore a pink spring dress and put on the jewelry she bought yesterday.

When Zhen Su came over, the old lady stared at her, thinking that Zhen Rong and Zhen Su were pleasing to the eyes. Zhen Zhen had put on so much powder that she could vaguely see it falling off. Even so, she was outshined by her two granddaughters who were not wearing any makeup at all.

One is a natural and fresh fairy, the other is like a mundane monkey in the mortal world. There is really no comparison. The more I look at them, the more upset I feel.

The old lady's face became more kind, "Let's go!"

Zhen Rong said, "Sister, when you said blue, I thought it was that kind of blue, but it turned out to be a light blue. This color looks really good on you, sister."

Zhen Su said: "Sister, your outfit today is very refined and warm, as beautiful as a spring flower."

Zhen Rong smiled more sweetly and innocently, "Sister, what did the girls do at banquets like this in the past?"
