Time passed quickly, and finally the day of mourning arrived at the Marquis' Mansion.

On this day, everyone in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's mansion was filled with joy. Everyone wore colorful dresses and exquisite jewelry on their heads.

This is the day of mourning in the Marquis' Mansion, and also the day of a grand banquet for guests. Everyone gets up early before dawn to dress up.

At the exact time of Si, guests started to arrive at the gatehouse one after another, and all the masters gathered in the front yard to welcome the guests.

The whole mansion had been preparing for this day for more than a month. Liu Tianshu, the mistress of the mansion, had to get up early, dress up, and get ready to welcome the guests.

Having experienced this kind of thing countless times in her previous life, Liu Tianshu was already familiar with it.

On such an important day, neither concubines nor maids were allowed to appear. Liu Tianshu finally saw Gu Jinyun, whom she had not seen for many days.

Compared to the last time they met, there was a hint of darkness under Gu Jinyun's eyes and his legs were weak and powerless. It was obvious how happy he had been in Fuguangyuan these days.

"I pay my respects to the Marquis."

"Madam, you don't have to be so polite. I'm so sorry for all the hard work that you put in today."

"As the mistress of the Marquis's residence, I cannot complain about being tired of doing such a small thing. But the Marquis should pay more attention to his health."

Hearing the hidden meaning in Liu Tianshu's words, Gu Jinyun's eyes flashed with guilt, and he looked at the gate not far away with an unnatural expression.

Today is the day for the Marquis's Mansion to host a banquet, so naturally many maids and servants have been arranged in front to be responsible for the reception.

Those of ordinary status were received by the servants in the mansion, who were only responsible for receiving guests of distinguished status.

The Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is well-known in the capital, and there are not many guests who really need them to greet them personally at the gate.

Hou was the most honorable elder in the Hou Mansion. She did not need to greet other guests at the main gate. She only needed to receive the guests in Canglan Courtyard.

In order to show her magnanimity, she asked people to prepare various exquisite jewelry suitable for young girls early in the morning.

These are all to be given to the young girl who will come to pay her a visit and whom she likes.

Liu Tianshu doesn't care about all this at all. She is only responsible for being a qualified mistress of the house.

Although it was not stated explicitly, everyone knew that the main purpose of the Marquis' Mansion's banquet today was to matchmake several young men and women of appropriate age in the mansion.

Most of the people who came here today were ladies who brought their sons and daughters of marriageable age.

Given the status of the Marquis' Mansion, there are not many people that Liu Tianshu needs to receive in person, so she has more time to deal with various matters in the Mansion.

I have to say that Nanny Yue is a capable one. Since her arrival, everything in the mansion has been managed in an orderly manner. Even today's banquet made Liu Tianshu worry less because she was watching over it.

After finally bringing all the guests to the house, the young men and women paid their respects to Mrs. Hou and then went their separate ways to play.

Everything was going smoothly. Liu Tianshu had just found a secluded place to relax when someone came to report that Mother Fang had taken advantage of the chaos and escaped with her bag.

Liu Tianshu still wanted to get money from the Hou family through the incident with Fang Mama, so naturally she couldn't let her leave.

Have someone keep a close eye on Mother Fang, and if necessary, arrest her and take her to a nearby villa for careful surveillance.

After receiving Liu Tianshu's order, someone quickly went to do it.

To Liu Tianshu, this was just a minor episode and she didn't take it to heart at all.

Compared to Fang's mother, she cared more about Liu Tian'er, who had been staying quietly in the yard these days to learn rules and etiquette.

Ever since she was confined to the yard, there has been no news from there in the past half month, except for Biyu, Bihe and a few maids who occasionally sneaked out of the yard through the dog hole.

Liu Tianshu didn't think that Liu Tian'ai would become so obedient, especially after she had been eating vegetables and radishes for half a month. It was even more impossible for her to do nothing in this great opportunity today.

In order to find out in advance what Liu Tian'ai's plan was, Liu Tianshu asked people to guard the entrance of the dog hole, but found that no one from Liu Yuan showed up on such a big day.

The mourning ceremony for the Marquis' Mansion was a big deal. As a relative, although it was impossible for the Lin family to marry into the Marquis' Mansion again, in order to let the young men and women in the family see more of the world, they still brought the young men and women of marriageable age to attend the banquet.

Among them naturally is Liu Tianjia, the second daughter who has not yet found a marriage.

Liu Tianjia is already eighteen years old this year. Many girls of her age, even if they have not yet started a family, have already been engaged, and some even have children running around.

But she has not yet been engaged, and she is more anxious than anyone else. She will rush to attend any banquet in the capital.

Lin also wanted to marry off this difficult girl in the family as soon as possible. However, apart from being pretty, Liu Tianjia had no other advantages. Even her family background could only be supported by Liu Lanqi. But she was determined to find a family that was not inferior to the Marquis' Mansion.

These people in the capital are not all fools. Naturally, those wealthy families would not be interested in having a woman like Liu Tianjia, who is of little benefit to them and not good at managing the household, as the mistress of the house.

Those families with humble backgrounds wanted to get close to the Liu family through her, but Liu Tianjia looked down on those small families, so the marriage was naturally delayed again and again.

Lin had already given up on making plans for Liu Tianjia, and only let Tian and the second wife do the fighting.

Anyway, in her opinion, these three generations of grandparents and grandchildren are not smart people and they can't do anything out of the ordinary.

At the same time, there are many girls of marriageable age coming to the Marquis' Mansion today, and she also wants to find some for her two sons.

Mrs. Lin had her own things to do, so she let Liu Tianjia follow the two young ladies of the Lin family to other courtyards to play with the girls.

Most of the girls who would come to this banquet were fourteen or fifteen years old. Liu Tianjia, who was seriously over the age limit, could not get along with those young ladies at all.

In addition, she went to the pavilions where the daughters of each family lived, and everyone was polite to her, but in fact no one paid any attention to her.

After staying in the water pavilion for a while, Liu Tianjia felt bored, so she took her maid to the garden to appreciate the flowers.

The garden scenery in the Marquis' Mansion is naturally the most beautiful. Liu Tianjia was almost immersed in it, and couldn't help but envy the two sisters Liu Tian'ai and Liu Tianshu who married into the Marquis' Mansion.

She is eighteen years old this year. She is no longer an ignorant girl and has already recognized the differences between her and her sister Liu Tian'ai.

Even though she was determined to marry into a wealthy family, she knew better than anyone that those wealthy families would never be attracted to her. Otherwise, after the incident between Liu Tian'ai and Gu Jinyun, she would not have thought of marrying into the Chang family in place of Liu Tian'ai.

Now the Chang family has been engaged to the daughter of the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion by the Queen Mother, and she...

"Which family is this girl from? She looks familiar. It would be boring to play in the garden alone. Would you like to come with us to the pavilion in front to drink tea and play drinking games?"

A clear and pleasant female voice came from behind Liu Tianjia, making her turn around instantly.

Then she saw four young girls standing not far behind her, smiling at her...
