The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

Chapter 100: Birthday Banquet (3)

All the wives looked at her in surprise, thinking that there was something wrong with the daughter of the Jiang family who came from the mountains. Look at this appearance, she doesn't look like a beauty that ordinary people can raise!

Seeing this, Jiang Susu wrung the handkerchief fiercely. She didn't understand that Jiang Ruan was growing up in Zhuangzi, and he was more outstanding than before. When Jiang's family was mentioned, everyone only knew her name, Jiang Susu, but since Jiang Ruan came back, Jiang Ruan has always compared her, even her most proud appearance. She cursed in her heart, "Jiang Ruan is young, but she has the charm of an adult woman in her gestures and gestures, which makes people feel bored when they look at her."

When Jiang Ruan came to the front, Mrs. Gu smiled and said: "You are Jiang Ruan?"

"Jiang Ruan has met Mrs. Zong Bing." Jiang Ruan smiled and saluted her.

"How do you know that I am Mrs. Zongbing?" Mrs. Gu was surprised.

"I heard that Mr. Chief Soldier is iron-blooded and heroic, and he has a deep affection with his wife. I saw that the sachet on the lady's waist was not embroidered with flowers and plants but a shield, so I made a wild guess. It seems to be a mistake."

Mrs. Gu smiled and said: "So that's it, Mrs. Jiang, your daughter is really sweet." Seeing Jiang Ruan's generous attitude, extraordinary demeanor, and ice-snow intelligence, she liked her a little. The only bad thing is that her looks are too grand, she looks so attractive at such a young age, and when she gets older, she will be a beauty one in a million. It's not a good thing to have too much appearance, and it's afraid of trouble.

As she thought this way, the other ladies in the hall had already started talking about the young lady of the Jiang family who came out suddenly. Jiang Ruan saluted them one by one. Soon she won the favor of many people, and even the meanest Mrs. Shi Lang couldn't be cold when she saw her.

Jiang Susu was afraid that she hadn't gritted her teeth, so she was naturally filled with hatred. After talking for a while, Cai Que and Du Juan helped Mrs. Jiang to come. Everyone stood up and saluted, Mrs. Jiang responded with a smile, her spirit was hale and hearty, but she didn't have the slightest weakness of being on the hospital bed a few days ago. Seeing Jiang Ruan, Mrs. Jiang's eyes flashed a trace of deep meaning, and Cai Que helped the old lady to sit down on the front seat in the hall. The wives present presented birthday gifts one after another.

The mother ordered the servants to receive it, and Jiang Quan arrived with Jiang Li and Jiang Dan, and Jiang Chao followed. Seeing Mrs. Jiang, he took a step forward and said, "Grandson wishes grandma a long life, prosperity and well-being."

He has raised eyebrows and is wearing a blue straight shirt. He is fresh and cheerful. He no longer has the gloomy appearance of the previous few days. People who don't know have doubts about the previous rumors. Jiang Chao took out a small wooden box with the height of a stool from behind. Presented: "A birthday gift from my grandson to my grandmother."

Everyone looked at the wooden box curiously, Mrs. Jiang smiled and ordered Caique to open it, Caique opened it as she said, and hugged a white jade Bodhisattva carefully from inside. This bodhisattva carving is vivid, with vivid eyebrows and eyes, as if it is alive. The most precious thing is that it is carved out of a whole square of white jade, which is completely natural, and it is also very valuable. Everyone was amazed, Jiang Chao said: "When my grandson saw this Bodhisattva, he felt very familiar. After a closer look, this is not my grandmother. My grandson bought it. I only hope that the Bodhisattva will bless my grandma, and my grandmother will be well."

What she said was so clever that Mrs. Jiang scolded with a smile: "What is it like a Bodhisattva, Jing Hun said!"

Jiang Li let out a barely visible sneer, Jiang Chao was really good at currying favor with Mrs. Jiang, and he only picked beautiful words, but Mrs. Jiang just fell for him.

With Jiang Chao at the side to start, Jiang Susu also stood up, curled her lips and said: "My brother gave the gift so well, Su Niang really has no face to take out her own things."

"Sister, don't say that," Jiang Chao scratched his head, "My gifts have never been as good as yours."

"Stop arguing," Xia Yan said with a smile, "Susu, show your birthday gift to grandma."

Jiang Susu asked the maid beside her to present a small sandalwood box, which was also exquisitely made. Butterfly opened the box and unfolded the things inside the box together with Dragonfly.

It was a huge roll of double-sided embroidery, with a hundred characters of longevity embroidered on it. Regardless of the embroidery alone, this kind of heart and persistence is also shocking.

Jiang Susu lowered her head and said humbly: "Susu's embroidery is not good, and the time is short, so she can only embroider like this. Grandma, don't be disgusted."

The embroidery is exquisite, the patterns and colors are bright and dignified, the handwriting is also meticulous, and there is no mistake in the stitching at a glance. Even taking it as an example in the entire Dajin Dynasty, it is top-notch. Jiang Susu is indeed talented, and embroidery can indeed be called a must in Beijing. This filial piety and humility immediately amazed many ladies present.

Mrs. Jiang also smiled: "Susu's thoughts are much more attentive than your brother's."

Jiang Chao smiled and didn't speak, Jiang Susu looked at Jiang Ruan: "Big sister, what is the gift for you and grandma? Could it be hidden, let's open our eyes."

With Jiang Chao and Jiang Susu Zhuyu in front, everyone turned their attention to Jiang Ruan, just to see what good things Jiang Ruan could come up with. Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "I can't take out my gift yet."

Everyone was slightly disappointed, Jiang Susu asked: "Why? Big sister, can't Susu take a look?"

Jiang Ruan refused gently: "No." But her tone was firm.

Jiang Chao said with a smile: "The elder sister probably forgot to prepare a gift for grandma, that's why she said that. Wasn't it the same at my grandfather's house last time? Mother prepared it for you."

He seemed to say the words unintentionally, Xia Yan hurriedly said: "Chao'er!" Interrupting his words, everyone has already thought about it, thinking that there is no biological mother around to teach, although the appearance is very good, but the world is weak Jiang Susu is more.

"I made big brother laugh," Jiang Ruan said with a smile, "but speaking of it, what is the future of my grandfather's family today? Is it because I forgot to prepare a gift for the door, so I didn't even participate in my grandmother's birthday banquet?"

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Chao's face froze, and Xia Yan was also stunned. It is true that the Xia family, as in-laws, will not come to Mrs. Jiang's birthday banquet. Even if they don't come, they should send a message to give a gift, but from the beginning until now, they have never heard of Xia's people. Naturally, it is impossible for the Xia family not to come because Jiang Ruan didn't bring a gift to the door, but what happened? Everyone's suspicious eyes made Jiang Quan feel ashamed, and he glared at Xia Yan, Xia Yan hurriedly said: "Your grandmother is not in good health recently, and the house is really hard, so I will go to the banquet in the future."

Jiang Ruan suddenly realized: "By the way, the last time I went to my grandfather's house, didn't my grandmother vomit blood and fainted, and she still hasn't recovered?"

Xia Yan quickly followed her words and said, "Yes, the condition has not improved."
