The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 103: Trip to Han Mansion (4)

Yang Qi and Han Chu were talking and laughing when Han Xian, the daughter of the Han family and Yang Qi's adopted sister-in-law in her previous life, suddenly appeared beside them: "We are going to the garden to take a look. Do you two sisters want to come with us?"

Yang Qi looked at Han Xian, who was acting like a lady from a noble family, and what came to his mind was her gloating over his misfortunes and cold words to him in his previous life. Madam Han had a son and a daughter. Master Han was strict in educating his children, so Han Xian grew up under the guidance of various teachers and maids, and finally made a good name for herself.

Han Xian had an inexplicable admiration for her brother Han Renyuan since she was a child. After Han Renyuan passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer, Han Xian's admiration for Han Renyuan reached its peak.

Han Renyuan disliked Yang Qi, and Han Xian didn't say a word, and she was disgusted with Yang Qi. Whenever she caught some details, Han Xian would point fingers at Yang Qi. How could such an expression be praised by outsiders?

Han Chu is a person who loves to be in a lively atmosphere. Since the host invited her, there is no reason for her not to go. Seeing Yang Qi not saying anything, Han Chu nudged Yang Qi with his elbow and said, "Sister Han Xian has come specially. Let's go."

Yang Qi was very familiar with the Han Mansion. Since Han Chu wanted to go, Yang Qi didn't mind revisiting the old place. He nodded and said, "Let's go."

After leaving the house, all the younger generations who came today gathered together. It seemed that Han Xian had received orders from the elders to take everyone to the garden for a walk. Yang Jing and An Xiaoqiu were among them.

Han Chu grabbed Yang Qi's hand and whispered, "Is this your sixth sister and cousin?"

Yang Qi looked at Yang Jing and An Xiaoqiu who were standing at the edge of the crowd and nodded.

Han Chu added, "When I first arrived, your sixth sister brought her cousin around and introduced herself to everyone. However, when people found out that this cousin came from a merchant family, they were unwilling to talk to her."

Yang Qi smiled helplessly: "At such a gathering, all the people are acquaintances."

These are the rich and powerful families in the capital. They grew up together and were in the same circle. Although many of them had never spoken to each other, they were very familiar with each other.

As An Xiaoqiu was a stranger, everyone was naturally interested in her first appearance. However, after getting to know her, they found out that she was the daughter of a merchant. Their faces turned unhappy and they all found reasons to leave.

I don't know where An Xiaoqiu's sense of superiority comes from? She thinks that coming to Beijing will give her a good future. According to Yang Qi, An Xiaoqiu's talent and appearance are outstanding in the northwest, and she can be matched with a good family.

However, this was the capital, and everyone wanted to move up a level. If they married a merchant's daughter as their principal wife, powerful families would consider it a shame. Song Hongwen's special situation was also because he had married two wives before, and both of them died during childbirth.

All the powerful people in the capital were unwilling to let their daughters of marriageable age marry into the Duke's Mansion. It was really difficult to be a mother to a daughter left by two wives.

The overall area of ​​the Han Mansion is not as spacious as that of the Duke of Song's Mansion, and the garden is naturally not as big as that of the Duke of Song. Overall, the garden of the Han Mansion is not exquisite.

Yang Qi looked at the layout of the garden. It was the same as the layout in Han Mansion in his previous life, except for some different details.

Yang Jing looked at the garden, which was far inferior to the one in the Duke's Mansion. She couldn't help but say, "This garden is a little small, otherwise we could all fly kites together."

When Yang Qi heard this, he felt a little funny. Was this belittling the host family in someone else's home?

Unfortunately, every word of Yang Jing's words fell into Han Xian's ears, and Han Xian's face turned cold. As expected, he grew up in the barren land of the northwest and had no education at all. The Song Guogong Mansion was almost in decline, and its power in the court was not as strong as that of the Han Mansion. If it weren't for the close contact between the ancestors and the grandmother's order, the Song Guogong Mansion might not have been invited this time.

Yang Jing's words made Yang Lan frown. I had warned him in the mansion, but I didn't expect him to be so ignorant in the Han Mansion. Now that Daddy has been transferred back to Beijing, he needs to sort out his thoughts and be careful in the court. We relatives should also be careful when we are outside.

Daddy and grandma said that although Lord Han is only the Minister of Revenue now, there is news that the Minister of Revenue is old and Lord Han will become the next Minister of Revenue. It was also Daddy and grandma's idea that Yang Lan could come here.

Since the Chinese New Year this year, Yang Lan and Yang Qi have basically not participated in ordinary gatherings in order to save time for reading. If Yang Lan and Yang Qi want to attend a gathering, it must be approved by the old lady after screening.

Today in Han's house, Yang Jing was completely ignored. Everyone ignored her, but most people liked to surround Song Yanglan. Even that bitch Song Yangqi had people talking to her. In the northwest, when had she ever been ignored like this? No matter who it was, they were all trying to coax her. Yang Jing said this with some resentment.

In order to avoid this embarrassment, Yang Lan took the lead and said, "Why didn't Miss Bai come today? I thought Miss Bai would come with us." Yang Lan was referring to Bai Yuxin. Of course, Yang Lan could say this because he knew that the relationship between the Bai family and the Han family had always been good, and the two families had always visited each other for banquets on weekdays. The most important thing was that Mrs. Bai came today.

Han Xian has always had a good impression of Yang Lan: "Sister Lan, Sister Yuxin has been called into the palace by Concubine Nian, so she can't attend."

Miss Guo, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, said, "This year, Concubine Nian has asked Miss Bai to enter the palace five or six times."

Everyone was guessing something from Concubine Nian's behavior. They were afraid that the Fifth Prince had taken a fancy to the Bai family's power and wanted to form an in-law relationship with them.

However, can His Royal Highness really tolerate Bai Xiang's surrender to the Fifth Prince? And has the Bai family never thought of making Bai Yuxin the Crown Princess? After all, in the hearts of the people of the Tianyuan Dynasty, this Bai family's legitimate daughter and His Royal Highness are a perfect match.

Yang Qi had been looking forward to Bai Yuxin marrying the fifth prince. Although the Bai family was a great help, if the person had bad intentions, even if the crown prince got it, the backlash would be even greater and heavier. If Bai Yuxin really married the fifth prince in the end, wouldn't it mean that she could change the ending of her previous life and avoid marrying into the Han family?

Han Chu took Yang Qi's hand and went aside. She still had a lot of things that she hadn't shared with Yang Qi. This was a rare opportunity, so she had to say everything.

After everyone sat in the garden for a while, a maid came over to report that it was time to go back to the main house for dinner.
