The next day.

The mansion was decorated with lights and red lanterns hung everywhere, making it very festive and lively.

With the support of the Liu family to the Marquis's family in recent years, there were many guests attending the banquet today.

Song Nanzhi and Song Shijin welcomed many dignitaries at the gate of the marquis' mansion.

Liu Yueru was busy with all the affairs in the mansion, fearing that something might go wrong.

Old Madam Song was very happy sitting on the high hall as she looked at the bustling Marquis' Mansion.

He said to the old ladies around him, "The troupe is about to start, why don't we all move to the back garden."

"It's all up to Madam Song." Everyone said politely.

Old Madam Song stood up first and took the female family members to the back garden.

The male relatives followed Song Nanzhi in the front hall.

Some of the guests who came today were invited by Liu Yueru, and some heard that King Jin was invited and wanted to try their luck.

It was almost noon, and there was still no sign of King Jin.

Some people inevitably asked anxiously, "I heard that Prince Jin will also attend the banquet today, why hasn't he come yet?"

"Yes, Brother Song has now married a good and virtuous wife, and has even climbed the ladder of the King of Jin. When you fly high in the future, remember to bring our brothers with you." Another person also joked.

Song Nanzhi's face flushed with praise and he stood straight.

I glanced at Liu Yueru who was busy tidying up not far away. She was very bright and beautiful.

His face lit up: "That's natural."

"Why hasn't King Jin appeared yet?" an untimely voice sounded.

Song Nanzhi looked towards the gate of the mansion for a few times, but saw no one coming, and felt a little depressed.

But in front of everyone, he kept smiling and said, "Prince Jin has always been busy, so something must have delayed him."

"Come, let's go to the back garden to drink and listen to opera." Song Nanzhi hurriedly greeted them when he saw that most of the guests had arrived.

The back garden of the marquis's mansion is not small. Because of the difference between men and women, the seats under the stage are divided into areas for female relatives, with two tables in the middle, and the other side is the viewing area for male relatives.

Everyone took their seats.

The women simply talked about some matters of supporting their husbands, raising children, and managing the household.

The men all had great ambitions, and the writers gathered together to recite poems and compose couplets.

Just before the play begins.

Liu Zimo and King Jin came to the back garden together.

Liu Yueru had just finished her work and came here with Zhao Weiyun and Fang Kewei.

"You go first." Liu Yueru saw the person coming and instructed the two people beside her.

Zhao Weiyun and Fang Kewei looked in the direction Liu Yueru saw.

One is a modest gentleman who is as gentle as jade, and the other is a king with a proud and cold demeanor.

No matter which one has a stunning appearance, they all exude nobleness.

"Prince Jin, second brother." Liu Yueru bowed and greeted them.

"Aunt." Xie Wenhua called out before Liu Yueru could ask anything.

Xie Jingrui was slightly stunned. He had never seen him so proactive before.

Liu Yueru responded with a bright smile: "Hey, young master, long time no see."

A blush appeared on Xie Wenhua's face.

"Why isn't Princess Jin here?" Liu Yueru asked Liu Yun with concern when she saw him.

"She caught a cold accidentally and is recuperating in the mansion." Xie Jingrui said lightly.

"You should take good care of yourself. A cold can be serious or minor." Liu Yueru responded.

Song Nanzhi also walked quickly to Xie Jingrui and said flatteringly, "I'm sorry for not welcoming you from afar. Please take a seat first."

Liu Yueru smiled and asked Xie Wenhua, "Do you want me to take you to play with your brother?"

Xie Wenhua looked at the friendly woman in front of him and nodded unconsciously.

He walked to Liu Yueru's side, turned around and said to Xie Jingrui, "I'll be back soon."

Seeing that he rarely took the initiative to get close to others, Xie Jingrui said to Liu Yueru, "Thank you for your help."

Liu Yueru nodded and took Xie Wenhua to the corner to find Song Yiyan.

Song Nanzhi took Prince Jin and Liu Zimo to the male relatives.
