"Eh? Isn't this Mrs. Jiang San? " The woman behind Huang Yi was helped off the carriage by a servant. She sized up the mother and daughter with a smile.

When née Qin saw that the woman was the Huang of the Minister of Rites, she had combed her black hair into a peony bun. She wore a scarlet gold hair band with a purple Shardstone, and a red ruby and phoenix hairpin.

She was also an official, but why was there such a huge difference between people? She felt as if a hundred bottles of vinegar had turned over in her heart.

"Why didn't Mrs. Jiang go in?" Madam Huang smiled as she looked at Qin Qi and asked, "Did Sister Yi meet a good sister here?"

Huang Yi snorted disdainfully as she lifted up her skirt and walked towards the black paint door. When she saw the woman dressed in a bright red dress, she went over with a smile and called out sweetly: "Madam Li."

"Sister Yi?" The red-robed lady called Madam Li looked at Huang Yi with a face full of smiles. Then, she nodded towards Madam Huang and asked: "Why have you all only just arrived? Lady Lin and Madam Zhong were just talking to me about you! "

Madam Huang took two steps forward and said with a smile, "There are some trifling matters at home, so I was delayed."

née Qin, who was following behind Madam Huang, also called out "Madam Li".

Madam Li smiled and nodded. Seeing that Madam Qin looked unfamiliar, she assumed she was a relative brought over by Madam Huang. She then called a capable woman to lead them to the parlour in the backyard.

The parlour where they were guests was a three-room open room, for it was already March, and the north and south side of the gate were specially opened. Sitting in the parlour, one could see the small garden outside the hall, and with a glance one could see the sprouting trees, dotted with flowers and grasses, bustling with a lively scene of blooming flowers in the spring.

"Eh? Why didn't she see Sister Wan'er when she came? " Xiao Qianshu, who arrived first, was lying on the opened window sill. She looked at Jiang Shu who was intimately walking in and holding Huang Yi's arm in her arms, and couldn't help but feel curious.

"What?" Sister Wan'er is not here? " Hearing Xiao Qianshu's words, Jiang Yan also came over. As expected, she searched every corner of the courtyard but didn't find Jiang Wan.

"Qinglan, how did you post this?" Jiang Yan turned her head to look at Li Qing Lan, who was explaining how the little girls would treat their guests, and asked.

After sending off the group of little girls, QingLan leisurely walked over and sat beside Xiao Qian Shu, saying, "I originally wanted to give it to Big Sister Wan'er alone, but I thought that if I didn't invite her mother and sister, she probably wouldn't be able to get out by herself. So I gave this post to the Jiang family in Three String Lane. What? But what kind of mistake? "

"Oh, there's a big mistake!" Jiang Yan rolled her eyes at Qinglan, "I'm afraid my third aunt didn't even bring her here."

"How could there be such a thing?" Li Qinglan frowned, "I wrote about the woman in the house!"

"Aiya, you guys don't have to say these useless things!" Xiao Qian Shuo stood up from the window, "It is an indisputable fact that Big Sister Wan didn't come!"

Jiang Wan was wearing a new dress and holding two or three brushes in her hands. She was completely focused on painting that painting of a woman. The sunlight outside the window shone through the panes and onto her body. It was as if a golden film had been cast over her.

"Cough!" "Ahem!" Jiang Yan, who was leaning on the door and watching her for a long time, couldn't help but remind her.

"What's wrong? Lilac, is your throat uncomfortable? " Jiang Wan didn't even raise her head as she continued to draw on the paper with her brush. Her long eyelashes were like a brush under the sunlight, casting a shadow on her pure white face.

"Yes!" It's very uncomfortable! " Jiang Yan, who had never been ignored before, glared at her.

Only then did Jiang Wan raise her head in surprise, only to discover that Jiang Yan was standing in front of her with a sullen face, and behind her was a winking Xiao Qianshu.

"Why are you guys here?" Jiang Wan hurriedly put down the brush in her hand, invited the two of them in, and loudly ordered Clove to bring tea.

"Oh, don't be busy serving tea! We don't have the time to drink it either! " But Jiang Yan stopped Clove, "Weren't you invited to the Blue Mist Family for the Spring Festival? "Why are you still in the mood to draw some pictures of women at home?"

Jiang Wan smiled awkwardly, lowering her head and saying, "I …" Today... "I feel uncomfortable …"

"Don't lie to me!" Jiang Yan had a completely "I understand" look on her face, "Why do you need to cover for Third Aunt when she doesn't even know how to act?"

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Jiang Wan could only smile and remain silent.

"That's why Qian Shuru and I specially came to invite you," Jiang Yan said to Jiang Wan with a smile. "You should know that you didn't arrive today."

"But …" "But …" However, Jiang Wan felt ashamed to say that she did not attend the Spring Festival Gala with proper clothes and jewelry.

"Sister Wan, just come with us!" Qian Shu giggled as she walked over, placing a large cloth bundle on top of her desk.

Jiang Wan looked at Xiao Qian Shu with a confused expression, but she heard her say: "Every time I go out, I will bring a few extra sets of clothes, just in case I need them. I haven't worn these clothes yet, so quickly change into them and come with us.

This... Is it really possible?

Jiang Wan hesitated a little as she looked at Jiang Yan and Xiao Qian Shu, but saw their encouraging gazes.

As a result, she quickly summoned Clove and Jasmine to help her change her clothes. As for mother Han, she excitedly walked in and gave Clove a double bun with a pair of coral turquoise beads.

Afterwards, under the urging of Jiang Yan and Qian Shu, he carried the lilac and boarded Xiao Qian Shu's seven-colored, glazed, flower-covered carriage.

Jasmine looked at Jiang Wan's leaving figure with a little excitement, and said excitedly to Mama Han by her side: "It's really good to have a group of sisters like Fourth Miss!"

Mama Han also nodded in agreement.

By the time the few young ladies reached the Li Residence, Lady Li, who had been welcoming guests at the entrance, had already entered. Jiang Yan and Xiao Qian Shuo brought Jiang Wan into the inner courtyard, as if they were familiar with the route, and headed straight for the parlour.

At this moment, née Qin was sitting awkwardly in the parlour, listening to the ladies around her teasing and teasing each other, but she couldn't interject a single word.

She occasionally found the opportunity to make a joke or two, but no lady paid any attention to her.

And there were whispers: "Who is that woman in the rosy purple and gold ringer? "Why does it look unfamiliar?"
