Koi adopted daughter jumps over the farm gate

Chapter 755 Another relative appears

The Zhenguo Duke's Mansion is indeed extravagant.

Many servants shuttled among them, and dishes they had never seen before were served like water.

"It's too extravagant."

Zhen shook her head slightly and sighed.

"Who says it's not the case? That was not the case at the Zhen Mansion banquet when you were a child."

Old Mrs. Bai recalled that when she was young, she came to Zhen's Mansion as a guest. Although the food was rich, it was not that luxurious.

Nowadays, the plates served in Zhen's house are all inlaid with gold and jade, and the chopsticks are ivory chopsticks with diamonds on the top.

"Grandma, like the late Madam, likes to be lively and lives a fastidious life." Tong said at the side.

Zhen shook her head secretly.

The eldest aunt only learned the form of the old grandmother, but not the essence.

The old grandmother came from a wealthy family, and although her life was about taste, she was not extravagant. For example, she would not use this plate inlaid with gold and jade, let alone let her family use it.

Xiao Fuyuan didn't care whether the Zhenguo Palace was extravagant or not, anyway, the food on the table was very to her liking.

What she ate was very delicious.

The same goes for the other female members of the Bai family. They are not polite at all and just eat with their chopsticks.

Tian Maimiao even whispered to her sister-in-law Xie Chuntao: "If you don't eat, it's free."

Anyway, the mother-in-law also has a share of the Zhen family's property.

Xiao Fuyuan noticed that someone was looking at him from time to time when he was listening to the opera, and when he was eating, he found that the eyes fell on him from time to time.

She stopped using her chopsticks and raised her head.

He happened to catch the eye of a round-faced young woman.

When the woman saw Xiao Fuyuan looking at her, she quickly lowered her head. After a long time, she raised her head again, with a rather timid look in her eyes.

Xiao Fuyuan was a little confused.

But her intuition told her that the other person was not a bad person and had no bad intentions towards her.

"Honghua..." Xiao Fuyuan leaned next to Honghua's ear and gave her a few words.

"Princess, don't worry, I promise to find out clearly."

The red flowers are gone.

"Mom, I've finished eating. I want to see the rose flowers." Xiao Fuyuan finished eating and got off the table.

Mrs. Zhen was being toasted by other ladies and said to Xiao Fuyuan: "Go ahead and be careful."

Feng Zhiheng and Cuicui got off the table and accompanied Xiao Fuyuan to enjoy the rose flowers.

Sister Zhen at the old lady's table saw Xiao Fuyuan going to the rose stand. She also put down her chopsticks and ran to Xiao Fuyuan. She was so envious of Xiao Fuyuan's gauze skirt.

"The county lord."

Honghua came over, looking left and right, but hesitated to speak.

"Let's talk, Sister Cuicui and Sister Aheng are not outsiders." Xiao Fuyuan said.

"I have found out clearly that the person who has been looking at you is the young lady of the Zhong family."

The young lady of the Zhong family?

Little Fuyuan didn't know anyone from the Zhong family.

Since arriving in the capital, many aristocratic families who had good relations with the Zhen Mansion have posted messages and given gifts to the Bai family. My mother has mentioned many families to her family, but she has never mentioned the Zhong family.

"I've heard that the Zhong family has a bad reputation." Feng Zhiheng said.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Fuyuan asked.

"It's hard to say, anyway, it's not good. From the old man to the old man, their family's reputation is not good." Feng Zhiheng hesitated. She had vaguely heard of their family... gray or something. She asked her mother what she meant, and she said She was scolded like never before.

It can be seen that this family has really done something disgusting and unspeakable.

"But sister, why are you asking about their family?" Feng Zhiheng asked.

Xiao Fuyuan mentioned that the young lady of the Zhong family kept staring at her, and she wanted to know what happened.

"This family's reputation is so bad, and people in Beijing rarely interact with each other. What does she think of you? She doesn't have any bad intentions, right?"

Xiao Fuyuan shook his head: "It doesn't feel like he has bad intentions. By the way, Sister Aheng said that the Zhong family has a bad reputation, so why did the Zhenguo government invite them to the banquet?"

Although the Duke of Zhenguo has a grudge against his own family, it is impossible for him to interact with the Zhong family regardless of his reputation, right?

This really bothered Feng Zhiheng.

In fact, this matter is not difficult to understand. Originally, there was very little contact between the Zhenguo Palace and the Zhong family.

This banquet was hosted by the Tong family. She thought that the Zhong family were relatives after all, and since the Zhen family had returned to Beijing, the Zhong family should also be allowed to attend the banquet.

"Princess, I have inquired. Are the Zhong family, the Zhenguo Palace, and our wife related to each other?" Honghua told Xiao Fuyuan the information she obtained.

"Relationship?" Xiao Fuyuan was a little puzzled. If he was related to the Duke of Zhenguo and his own mother, then he was also related to the Queen Mother. Why didn't the Queen Mother mention it?

It can be seen that what Feng Zhiheng said about the Zhong family's bad reputation is true.

"What kind of relationship is it?" Xiao Fuyuan asked.

"My wife's second aunt married the Zhong family back then." Honghua said.

"My aunt was married for many years and had nothing to do. Later, she gave birth to a son, the young master of the Zhong family. When the young master of the Zhong family was five or six years old, my aunt passed away. The young lady staring at you is the wife of the young master Zhong."

"The woman sitting next to Mrs. Zhong is the second wife of Mr. Zhong."

Honghua inquired very clearly.

Xiao Fuyuan gave Honghua a thumbs up.

"Hong Hua is right. I remembered that two years ago, the Mr. Zhong came to my house to ask my grandfather to pay his respects to the Queen Mother. After all, his former wife and the Queen Mother were sisters, so he could also be regarded as the Queen Mother's. Brother-in-law. He was scolded by my grandfather." Feng Zhiheng recalled a past incident.

"Then why does the young lady of the Zhong family want to see my sister?" Cuicui frowned.

"I don't know." Xiao Fuyuan shook his head.

"How is the young lady of the Zhong family doing at the Zhong family?" Xiao Fuyuan asked Honghua.

"I didn't ask about this." Honghua felt that she was not doing her job well enough and wanted to continue asking, but Xiao Fuyuan stopped her.

"I think the young lady of the Zhong family will definitely come looking for me." Xiao Fuyuan said.

"The Zhong family is full of misunderstandings. It is said that those who are close to the ink are evil. If the young lady of the Zhong family tells you, don't believe it easily." Feng Zhiheng reminded.

"I know." Xiao Fuyuan nodded.

Soon the banquet at Zhen's side broke up. Zhen was worried about Xiao Fuyuan and asked Mother Zhu to take her with her.

After dinner, Mrs. Tong invited everyone to visit the Zhen family’s garden.

Little Fuyuan was very playful and kept chasing the butterflies among the roses.

Mrs. Zhen was worried that her daughter would fall, so she followed closely behind her.

Xiao Fuyuan came to a flower stand and heard scolding.

"... They come from the countryside and don't know what's going on in the capital. Madam Qiantou is her second aunt. As the daughter-in-law of Madam Qiantou, it's easy for you to establish a relationship. Not only did you not go, you were wronged." He lowered his voice but There was no shortage of shrill female voices coming from behind the rose shelf.

"You don't dare to talk to the Queen Mother's niece. You can't talk to the Bai family's daughter-in-law? They all come from the countryside and have no sense. It's best to establish a relationship. If that doesn't work, go and coax the county. My lord, the princess is a child, and she was coaxed here with just a few words." The shrill female voice continued to make grand remarks.

Hey, isn't this talking about my own family?

Xiao Fuyuan vaguely felt that this had something to do with the Zhong family.

"My wife only said that I don't know how to build relationships. As a relative, I can go up and say hello, but my wife wants me to go to the No. 1 Scholar's family to intercede with the Queen Mother's family. I really can't bear that shame."

It was a soft sobbing female voice. Xiao Fufang looked over and saw that it was indeed the young lady of the Zhong family who had been looking at her repeatedly.
