Chapter 120 Banquet

Jiang Mansion.

The previous prefect loved to have fun and enjoy himself. When he was in government, he made no other achievements. His mansion was beautifully built.

After Jiang Yuanqi took office with his family, he tidied up a little and moved in directly.

In the mansion, everyone who had already received the news was all ready.

The young lady has not been back for a long time, and the subsequent servants have never seen her. However, they know that the master and his wife send many things every year, and the young lady is very favored.

The best courtyard in Jiang Mansion is the lady's boudoir. Everything in it is all decorated by the lady herself. It is not only the best, but also the most expensive. The servants will feel envious after just one glance.

"Where is the person? Has he come back? Send someone to have a look." Su Rurong urged.

The servant immediately ran out and went to check.

After six years, my daughter is finally coming back.

I haven’t seen her for six years, and I don’t know how my daughter has grown.

When we parted, the little girl was very frail, and Su Rurong loved her as much as her eyes. She couldn't bear to suffer any injustice, and her twin brother Jiang Xiujun had to let her go and take care of her.

"Here, madam, the master has brought the young lady back to the house." The servants of the Jiang Mansion shouted, not caring about saluting, and no one cared about it.

Su Rurong could not wait at ease in the inner hall, so she went out directly and greeted him personally.

Jiang Yuanqi took his daughter with him, and was accompanied by her fellow apprentices, including His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The group got off the carriage and stood at the door of Jiang Mansion.

The gate of Jiang Mansion is wide open, and all the servants are waiting.

"Ning'er." Jiang Ningxuan had just gotten off the carriage, and before she could stand still, she heard someone calling her, and looked over with a glimmer of water in her eyes.

"Mother." Jiang Ningxuan called out. After several years of not seeing her, her beautiful mother has become even more beautiful.

Su Rurong walked over quickly and took her daughter into her arms, tears rolling down her cheeks.

When a beautiful woman sheds tears, it makes people feel distressed.

Jiang Yuanqi looked at the mother and daughter with pity, and his heart was divided into two halves, one half for his wife and the other half for his daughter.

Outside the gate of Jiang Mansion, mother and daughter reunited after a long absence, with a thousand words to say.

Jiang Yuanqi said: "Okay, my daughter is tired from running all the way. If you have anything to say, let the children rest before talking."

Jiang Ningxuan raised her hand to wipe away the tears on Beauty Niangqi's cheek with gentle movements.

Su Rurong touched her daughter's little face, with a smile in her tears, and nodded repeatedly: "Your father is right, let's go back home first."

Jiang Mansion, lobby.

After Su Rurong calmed down, she looked at the familiar young man in front of her, and a figure flashed in her mind, and she exclaimed: "His Royal Highness."

Lou Yunzhou said: "No need to be too polite."

He came to Jiang Mansion as a guest today as Senior Brother Ning'er, so he didn't need to pay too much attention.

Jiang Yuanqi greeted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Mo Xingyuan and others. Only Su Rurong, her daughter and Gongsun Jinwei were left in the back house.

Gongsun Jinwei stood up and said with a smile: "Aunt, sister Ning'er, you guys talk first. I'm a little tired, so I'm going to rest first."

Su Rurong expressed some gentle concern, then sent the maid next to her to serve him personally, and took Gongsun Jinwei to rest.

After everyone in the room left, Su Rurong took her daughter into her arms and held her tightly with both hands.

Jiang Ningxuan hugged her mother, smelling the faint fragrance on her body, her eyes turned red, and her eyes also flashed with water.

Mother and daughter have been separated for too long and have too much to say.

The maids wisely retreated, closed the door, and stood quietly outside the door. They would not disturb the madam and the young lady, and could hear the madam's instructions in time.

Su Rurong said: "Okay, we won't cry anymore."

Jiang Ningxuan nodded heavily.

Su Rurong said: "It's a pity that your brother is not here, otherwise we could be reunited as a family."

Jiang Ningxuan asked: "I heard that my brother went to Kyoto."

Speaking of her eldest son, Su Rurong's eyes flashed with pride.

Jiang Xiujun is only fourteen years old. He has already achieved fame and is well-known among literati. He is highly praised by the dean of Baihe Academy. He plans to attend the Spring Festival next year and is currently studying at the Imperial College in Kyoto.

Su Rurong said: "We are not in Kyoto, and your grandmother misses her very much. She comes to Xindao every year. Now that Xiujun has gone to Kyoto, it is just right to have a wedding at your grandmother's knees."

Mrs. Jiang loves her youngest son Jiang Yuanqi the most, and it was her wish to let Jiang Xiuyun go to Kyoto to study. With her personally taking care of him, she would never dare anyone to let Jiang Xiuyun be wronged.

Jiang Ningxuan really wanted to see her brother, but she didn't know what his brother had become like after so many years.

Su Rurong said: "You two brothers and sisters are very similar, but your temperaments are very different."

The mother and daughter chatted for a long time until someone came from the kitchen to report that the food was ready and asked the lady where to hold the banquet and entertain the guests.

Su Rurong asked the maid to come in and fetch water for the mother and daughter to wash up. Then she ordered people to wait on Jiang Ningxuan to change her clothes. She then went to the hall and ordered people to serve food.

There were two tables set for the banquet.

Su Rurong took Jiang Ningxuan and Gongsun Jinwei to a seat. Jiang Yuanqi respectfully took the seat of honor, and the others sat down one after another.

Jiang Yuanqi said: "Thank you to my virtuous nephews for what happened today."

If Jiang Ningxuan hadn't come back by chance, it's hard to say what the final outcome would have been today.

Mo Xingyuan, Qiqi and others couldn't let their uncle toast, so they took a sip and became bored.

Lou Yunzhou has a distinguished status. No one dares to persuade him not to drink.

Lou Yunzhou took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and toasted Jiang Yuanqi, not as His Royal Highness, but as Jiang Ningxuan's senior brother.

Jiang Yuanqi was so flattered that he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Not to be outdone, Mo Xingyuan and Qi Qi picked up their wine glasses one after another.

Pushing the cup and changing the cup, talking and laughing.

After the guests and hosts had enjoyed themselves, the banquet dispersed.

"Madam, I am really happy for my husband today." Jiang Yuanqi rarely drank too much, so he took Madam's hand and muttered.

Su Rurong was also very happy.

The couple sat on the bed and looked at each other with smiles on their faces.

"Madam, you are so beautiful." Jiang Yuanqi suddenly said, reaching out to touch Su Rurong's face. The touch felt warm and delicate, like fine white suet jade.

For many years, the relationship between the old couple has not faded away, but has become stronger.

Su Rurong looked at the dark color in Jiang Yuanqi's eyes, and she didn't understand what he wanted to do. She stretched out her hand and put it on his chest, trying to push him away, but her movements were somewhat hesitant and her eyes were hesitant.

The faint aroma of wine filled the air. Su Rurong only drank a few sips of fruit wine during the banquet, but now she felt a little drunk.

The candlelight in the room flickered, and there were many shadows.

The maids waiting outside the door heard the noise in the room, their faces became hot and their ears turned red.

The relationship between Madam and Master is so good!

In another courtyard, Jiang Ningxuan, who should have been sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes and dodged to avoid the approaching black figure. With a movement of his wrist, cold light flashed and blood splashed.

He came just in time, she had been waiting for him for a long time.

The black shadow turned around to run away. Outside the house, Lou Yunzhou stood quietly. He didn't know how long he had been there.
