"My second sister is really clever and skillful. Look how beautifully she embroidered this sachet!"

Gu Rou took the two sachets with a smile and praised Xie Miaoyin's needlework.

Xie Miaoyin smiled shyly, "As long as sister-in-law likes it."

After that, she looked at Gu Jin again and asked cautiously, "Does Third Sister-in-law like it?"

Gu Jin glanced at the two sachets and said, "They look pretty good."

Xie Miaoyin's smile became brighter when she heard this. "I'm glad you like it. I'll embroider a few more handkerchiefs for my two sisters-in-law when I get back!"

"Then I'll have to trouble you, sister."

Gu Rou spoke in an intimate tone. She glanced at Gu Jin, handed the two sachets to Gu Jin, and said with a smile, "Big sister, whichever one you like, you choose first."

Gu Jin raised her eyebrows in surprise. She picked one up at random and put it under her nose and sniffed it gently. There was a faint scent of grass mixed with a little bit of insect repellent herbal smell. It was actually an ordinary sachet.

"There are many mosquitoes in the summer, so I specially put some insect repellent herbs. If you two sisters-in-law don't like it, you can replace it with your favorite spices when you go back." Xie Siyin smiled brightly, her round eyes bright and lively.

"Thank you, second sister."

Gu Jin thought he was overthinking it, so he hung the sachet around his waist like Gu Rou.

In another carriage, Xie Miaorong's cold eyes revealed a hint of impatience, "Mother, the Jiang family obviously has ulterior motives for inviting us to the banquet today, why did you insist on letting me come?"

She might as well spend this time reading a few books and writing a few words in the house.

Ma patted Xie Miaorong's hand and smiled gently and dotingly, "Even if the Jiang family intends to make things difficult, it is targeting Gu Jin. Many dignitaries in Beijing will attend Madam Jiang's birthday banquet.

You are now old enough to look for a marriage partner, so you can take this opportunity to let everyone know how wonderful our Yongchang Marquis's eldest daughter is."

Thinking of her own marriage, Xie Miaorong lowered her eyelashes and stared at her own pair of tender, white and slender lips in a trance.

She felt that she was as talented as her eldest brother, and as smart as her third brother. It was a pity that she was born a girl and could only marry, have children and live in the backyard. If she were a boy, she would definitely achieve great things.

Soon they arrived at Jiang's residence. Before getting off the car, Gu Rou couldn't hide her gloating expression, "Are you feeling nervous, big sister?"

Gu Jin raised his head and glanced at her, saying in a light tone: "Second sister, you may not be very old, but your eyesight is not very good. Go back and eat more fish eyes to nourish your eyes."

"You!" Gu Rou was a little annoyed, but when she thought that someone would vent her anger today, she laughed, "I hope that big sister can maintain her current mentality after entering the Jiang Mansion."

Ma and Xie Miaorong also got off the carriage. Xie Miaorong said to Gu Jin with a stern expression, "Remember to follow the rules when you enter the Jiang Mansion. Don't cause trouble and don't lose face for our Yongchang Marquis Mansion."

Gu Jin raised his eyes and looked at Miss Xie. She was pretty, but she always frowned and pursed her lips, looking a bit serious and a little mature beyond her years.

Gu Jin blinked and asked very seriously: "What if I accidentally lose face?"

Xie Miaorong frowned even more tightly, and said coldly: "If you do something that brings shame to the Marquis' Mansion, you will be punished according to the family rules."

"How terrible. Then I won't go. I want to go back to the mansion to find my husband."

Gu Jin turned and left, leaving Xie Miaorong stunned.

In the past, she had only come into contact with dignified daughters of noble families, and had never met someone as difficult as Gu Jin.

Seeing Gu Jin was about to get in the car, Ma hurriedly stepped forward to hold Gu Jin back, "Jin'er, since you're here, why don't you go in and congratulate Madam Jiang on her birthday? If this gets out, the Jiang family will think you're deliberately making trouble."

"Yes, big sister, so many people outside have seen you. Even if you lie and say you are sick, no one will believe you. Who knows how others will frame you then!" If Gu Jin left, today's play would not be able to go on. She would drag Gu Jin in even if she had to.

"I won't go! Sister Miaorong just said that if I make a mistake, I will be punished when I go back. Why should I ask for trouble?

I won’t go, I won’t go!” Gu Jin clung to the carriage and started to act like a rogue, attracting many people to look over here.

Xie Miaorong was so anxious that her face turned pale and red. She was afraid that someone would see her, so she could only say, "I was just teasing you just now. No one will punish you."

"Really? You won't punish me no matter what I do?"

Xie Miaorong now just wanted to coax Gu Jin in quickly to avoid embarrassing herself at the gate. "I promise no one will punish you."

"Then you guys coax me."

Everyone: “…” What the hell!

Ma spoke first, "Jin'er, you are so beautifully dressed today. You will definitely outshine all the other beauties when you enter Jiang's mansion. Let them all know what a beautiful wife Sanlang has married."

Gu Jin looked at Gu Rou again. Gu Rou gritted her teeth and said against her conscience, "Second Aunt is right. Big sister is as beautiful as a flower and everyone loves her. If I don't go to the banquet, I will really let her down."

"Okay then," Gu Jin reluctantly let go of her hand, "Although what Second Aunt and Second Sister said are true, I actually hope that you can see my beautiful heart through my beautiful appearance."

Ma and Gu Rou: “…” He is simply taking advantage of others and acting ungratefully. How shameless!

Xie Miaorong felt suffocated in her heart and secretly vowed never to go out with Gu Jin again.

The Jiang family is different from the majestic and solemn family of Yongchang Marquis. The pavilions and towers in the mansion are very magnificent. The back garden is full of exotic flowers and trees, and the nine-turn corridor is full of fragrant flowers. The luxury is elegant.

It really is worthy of being the Empress Dowager's home. Every flower, grass, stone and tree in the yard makes Gu Jin want to pack them up and move them back.

Xie Miaorong looked straight ahead with a calm expression. She glanced sideways and saw Gu Jin looking around. There was a gleam in his eyes from time to time, and he looked like he had never seen the world before.

Xie Miaorong frowned and wondered why her third brother married such a naughty girl. It was really outrageous. She must let her third brother discipline her well when she returns!

As soon as they arrived at the back garden, before Gu Jin had time to take a closer look at those girls who were more beautiful than flowers, he saw several girls quarreling with each other.

"Ms. Murong, I really didn't mean to pull off your veil. I just did it carelessly. Isn't it enough for me to apologize to you?" A young girl in yellow clothes waved her handkerchief in a fake manner, and her apology looked particularly annoying.

Gu Jin had some impression of her. She was Li Ying'er, Gu Rou's cousin from uncle's family.

Li Ying'er relied on the fact that his father was the Minister of Personnel to form small groups in the Beijing circle, and he also mocked the original owner in the past.

Murong Qing's eyes widened, "What do you mean by careless? You are kidding me!

I was standing here perfectly fine, how did you just happen to fall over and pull off the veil on my face? You clearly did it on purpose!"

Li Yinger rolled her eyes. "What evidence do you have to say that I did it on purpose? Besides, I only pulled your veil, not your clothes. Do you have to make such a fuss?"

Li Ying'er chuckled and glanced at Murong Qing's face with ill intent, "Does Miss Murong's face look so shameful? Is she angry because her veil fell off?"

Murong Qing covered her face which was covered with several pimples, her eyes red with anger.

The girls around Li Ying'er started laughing, "Ms. Murong, we were all watching. Ying'er really didn't mean it. Don't make a fuss about it."

"Yeah, after all, we didn't know that Miss Murong's face was rotten again. What do you think?"

Several people sang the same tune and made Murong Qing speechless. Murong Qing came from a family of military generals, so she could not compare with these girls from civil officials in terms of eloquence.

She was so angry that she threw her sleeves and turned to leave, but as luck would have it, she was blocked by Gu Jin.

When Murong Qing looked up, she saw Gu Jin staring at her. She was immediately furious and pushed Gu Jin away angrily, "What are you looking at! I hate you gossipers the most, get out of here!"

Gu Jin said without saying a word: "..."

There are risks in watching the fun, so you need to be cautious!
