The outer chamber is not what I want, the general will send you a sword!

Chapter 56 Find someone to settle accounts!

The old lady looked at her with a smile.

This kind-hearted old lady is the appointed lady of the Duke's Mansion, and her title is lower than that of the old lady, but the relationship between the two has always been good, and they can be regarded as old girlfriends for many years.

During the time when the white-haired old lady was sending off the black-haired one, the Duke's wife frequently came to comfort her, and would attend every banquet.

And she is also the old lady with the highest status in this banquet besides the old lady.

Therefore, when speaking in front of the old lady, there is no distinction.

The old lady looked in the direction where Xia Jin was.

"Do you think she is worthy of Ziyi?"

Mrs. Duke looked at Xia Jin.

"It's impressive to be able to chat with other ladies so quickly. You must know that these ladies usually don't even look at people with low status, especially slaves."

"She was quickly accepted by them, became one with them, and became the focus, which is enough to show that this woman is not simple!"

After the Madam finished speaking, she looked at the old matriarch, and instead of answering, she asked: "The old matriarch has a vicious eye for people. If you don't have real skills, you won't be able to catch the old matriarch's eyes. Tell me, what do you like?" Where is she, she actually wants to make an exception and let a slave woman enter the general's mansion?"

"Just because she cured my grandson's anorexia!" the old lady laughed.

She would not admit that she wanted to get Xia Jin started early because she wanted to eat assorted fresh noodles made by Xia Jin every day.

Of course, this is not the reason why the old lady likes Xia Jin. The bigger reason is that after so many years, she has never seen Lin Ziyi have a crush on any woman.

The duke's wife, who didn't know why, looked suddenly enlightened.

"It's not bad to be a concubine after redeeming the slave status, but the children born to those who have had slave status will not be able to serve as officials in the court."

This point made the old matriarch embarrassing. Indeed, as Mrs. Guo said, Yan has this law.

Even if the slaves were converted to ordinary citizenship, their children would not be able to serve as officials in the court.

The old matriarch frowned... But after thinking about it, if you don't enter the court and become an official or general, then you should go into business!

His brows widened immediately, and he said to Mrs. Guo: "Let young people make decisions on their own, and Ziyi has the final say on this matter!"

Mrs. Duke nodded and said:
"The old matriarch is right, we should care more about ourselves, let the young people handle the affairs of the young people, but it is better for the old matriarch to take care of some matters in principle, by the way, the prime minister Have you heard about the government?"

"heard."

Mrs. Guo rolled her eyes and said, "Miss Qu from the Prime Minister's Mansion came to the General's Mansion very diligently. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that she has a secret heart for the General! This is an excellent marriage!"

The old matriarch was thoughtful, Miss Qu's identity was indeed good, and she was a good match with Lin Ziyi, but the old matriarch didn't like it, and I don't know why, anyway, I felt disgusted when I saw it.

It is precisely for this reason that the old matriarch has not made a match for a long time. When the lady of the country mentioned it, the old matriarch suddenly realized.

My old best friend is here to come as a matchmaker!
"Wait for Ziyi's opinion on this matter when he comes back!" said the old lady.

The Duke's wife chuckled, "The order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, there is no need to ask so clearly, the old lady is the master!"

"You also know Ziyi's character. No one can change the things he is sure of. Besides, the melons that are twisted are not sweet, and the important matters of marriage have to be decided by the young people themselves!"

Seeing the old matriarch's insistence, Mrs. Duke sighed helplessly, and said to herself: Lin Ziyi 28 hasn't married yet, that's why the old matriarch said, "Young people have the final say"!

If the old matriarch arranged it sincerely, Lin Ziyi would have been married long ago!

After lunch, the banquet ended and the guests left one after another.

When Xia Jin left the General's Mansion, a young girl chased after her. It was the lady in purple who had been gossiping with Xia Jin.

"Your name is Xia Jin, right?"

"Miss Ping, do you have anything else to do with me?" Miss Ziyi's name is Ping Rong'er, the daughter of Vice General Ping, whose father served as a lieutenant in Lin Ziyi's army.

"Have you been to the chamber of commerce? Otherwise, how would you know about Mr. Qu? I want to ask, do you know how Mr. Qu is doing now? Is...is he seriously ill?"

Looking at her worried gaze, and her tone softened as soon as the word 'Gu Gongzi' was mentioned.

Xia Jin clicked her tongue, this is another ignorant girl who was tricked by Qu Renjie!

Thinking of the tragic experience of her predecessor, she seemed to see a second predecessor.As an insider who has a lot of evidence of Qu Renjie being a scumbag, Xia Jin can't just watch her being deceived.

"Miss Ping likes Mr. Qu?" Xia Jin asked.

Ping Rong'er lowered her head, her cheeks were flushed, "There are many people who like Mr. Qu..."

Xia Jin frowned, what's so good about that guy!
"I'm not very clear, but I think it should be fine." Xia Jin said calmly.

Ping Rong'er breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you Miss Xia for letting me know. If there is any information about Mr. Qu in the future, please tell me, and I will reward you!"

After speaking, he took off the silver bracelet on his wrist, stuffed it in Xia Jin's palm, then turned around and got into the sedan chair and left.

Xia Jin looked at the silver bracelet in her hand, feeling quite helpless...

"Xia Jin!" A thin voice came from behind.

Xia Jin looked back, oops, isn't it Sister Jiazi!

"You really stole the limelight just now! You don't bat an eye when you tell lies!" Qi Luoyun's face was gloomy.

She should be the protagonist of today's banquet!
Now Xia Jin stole the limelight!
Xia Jin's brows twitched, and she said speechlessly: "I'm kind enough to help you smooth things over, but you still blame me for stealing your limelight and accusing me of lying? I see, you are the one who lied, right? You obviously haven't been there, and you beat your swollen face to pretend to be fat. It's not for my apprentice's face, I'm too lazy to talk to you!"

"What apprentice? What nonsense are you talking about!" Qi Luoyun was furious.

Xia Jin waved her hand, didn't bother to talk to her, and got into her sedan chair.

Seeing her leave, Qi Luoyun also got into the sedan chair, and when she reached a narrow road, she waved to the maid beside her.

"When passing by the smelly ditch in a while, let the bearer knock her sedan chair off!"

Xia Jin was sitting in the sedan chair when suddenly the carriage jolted, the bearer staggered and fell to the ground, and the sedan chair fell into the ditch.

"Miss!" Siji yelled, going to save someone, but saw Xia Jin standing on the side of the road in good condition, and the sedan chair had already sunk half into the ditch.

Qi Luoyun's sedan chair walked past Xia Jin and the others, the wind blew up the curtain, and Xia Jin happened to see Qi Luoyun's arrogant face.

"Miss... are you alright?" Siji asked worriedly.

Xia Jin indifferently looked at the direction Qi Luoyun left in the sedan chair.

"Let's go to Desheng Building!"

Four Seasons asked suspiciously: "Didn't we say we were going to the God of Food Hall?"

"Go to Desheng Building first, and find someone to settle the score!"
