”I …” Chu Xuanhua looked at his sister, his face was pale. Even his sister could think of this, how could he have been ignored! Combined with what Xiao's mother said, wasn't Deng family's painting the same as his big marriage?
Chu Yuehua stretched out her hand to hold onto the handkerchief tightly, and said with determination, ”Elder sister, don't worry. Since we know what peace they have in mind, before this, we should think of a plan. We definitely should not let them pinch us.”
”Yue Er, are you sure?” He was still talking about what his mother Xiao had said just now.
If it was before, he wouldn't be sure, but if he combined the experiences from his previous life with what his mother said, then it was about time. In his previous life, his elder sister didn't have a good time after her marriage, meaning that the dowry was no longer in her hands.
He had gone to the Qi Kingdom with his parents, and the imperial government had even arranged a dowry for him. The loyal house of the Marquis did not need to pay a single cent.
He didn't expect that one of the main reasons he was forced to marry someone was because of this!
”But we. What can we do? ” Chu Xuanhua thought to himself. What could he and his sister do without the support of their brothers and sisters before the age of fifty?
”What happened was done by hand!”
Only later did Chu Yuehua find out that this time, the old lady was actually fighting for the chance to show her face. They rarely had the chance to go out, and even the Deng Family's and Yang Family's were having some social interactions as they brought Zhou Ruyun and Zhou Ruxin out.
However, the two of them rarely saw the wives in the capital.
The two sisters were also very attentive to their clothes.
The old lady saw it and nodded.
Not long after, almost all of the family members arrived. After eating a bowl of longevity noodles in front of the old lady, they dispersed to help entertain the guests.
Chu Yuehua, Chu Xuohua, together with Zhou Ruxin and Zhou Ruyun, took care of the young ladies who were around the same age as them.
The adults were from the Zhang and Li Families, and the young ladies didn't want to listen, so they suggested taking a walk by the lake. Chu Yuehua and Zhou sisters naturally had to receive them well, so the maidservants arranged the tea and fruits in the pavilion by the lake.
The old lady had a good relationship with some of the ladies in the capital, so there were many people who came. Similarly, there were quite a number of ladies who followed her.
The pavilion was quite full.
”It's boring to sit here like this. Why don't we have some fun?” Zhou Ruyun, with a skittish personality, immediately suggested.
”In that case, I'll follow the arrangements of my sisters.” The person who spoke was Miss Mo, the granddaughter of the Minister of Revenue.
The other girls nodded in agreement.
Zhou Ruyun then said, ”Why don't we compete with the musical instruments. Everyone will bet first, then everyone will vote together, and then we will publicly sing. The winner will belong to everyone, what do you say?”
Chu Xuohua frowned and thought for a moment, then forced a smile, ”It's enough for us sisters to play together. If that's the case, if it's spread out, we would only say that everyone likes to compare, I'm afraid...”
