Chapter 98 Dress Up for a Banquet
That day, Liuyun still changed into Lianqiu's clothes and got on Wang Teng's carriage into the city. After getting off at a secluded place, he walked to the Jiang family.

At this time, the Jiang family was coming and going. Jiang Shan and Jiang Huaiqing were welcoming and seeing off guests at the main gate of the Jiang Mansion. She took a look and turned to the corner door on the side. Mrs. Jiang's maid Lianxiang was waiting for her.

"Girl! Follow me, the lady is waiting for you!"

Liuyun followed her through the garden corridors of all sizes. Not only did she feel astonished by all the arrangements in the mansion, it was too luxurious!
The news of the grand banquet held by the Jiang Mansion had already spread throughout Linjiang and caused a lot of noise. Wang Teng had already told her about it.

At first she guessed that this banquet was held for her, but now when she arrived at the mansion and saw how luxurious it was, it definitely couldn't be for an outsider like her!
"Madam, the girl is here!" Lianxiang brought her to Fangshao Zhai, bowed and stepped aside.

"Mrs. Jiang!" Liuyun greeted.

"Good boy, come here and let me see you. It's hard for you to run around all this time for Bai'er!"

Mrs. Jiang enthusiastically pulled her to sit next to her, her eyes full of love, as if Liuyun was her own daughter.

She looked at Liuyun carefully, smiled, and said with satisfaction: "Such a pretty person, this dress is not good! Lianxiang!"

"The slave is here!"

"Go! Take the girl to change her clothes!"

"Miss, please follow me!" Lianxiang bowed in front of Liuyun.

Liuyun, on the other hand, had a look of confusion on her face. According to the content of the letter, there was a banquet today and she was required to come, so she came. But why did she have to change her clothes?

"Go!" Mrs. Jiang saw her doubtful face and waved her hand gently, telling her to go with peace of mind.

It is better to obey than to be respectful, so Liuyun followed Lianxiang behind the screen. She guessed that maybe the maid's clothes were too shabby and not presentable enough for a banquet!
But the clothes behind the screen really shocked her. The silk and satin! The embroidery! The head ornaments and jewelry were too extravagant.
And it seemed to have been prepared for her.
After putting on the clothes, they fit her body perfectly. Lianxiang then called a few little girls to help her dress up.
Not long after, a pretty girl came out from behind the screen. She was wearing a light pink cloud-shaped skirt with ancient patterns. Her shoulders were as sharp as a knife, her waist was as thin as a willow, her eyebrows were lightly drawn, her lips were red without any makeup, and she stood there with a slightly shy look, which stunned Mrs. Jiang.

She pulled Liuyun around with satisfaction and praised him endlessly: "You are indeed a beauty, but you usually dress too plainly! Look at this outfit, who can compare to it?!"

"Madam, you are too kind. But I don't know why Liuyun wants to dress like this!" She lowered her eyebrows, feeling a little embarrassed by the compliment.

"We have a big surprise today! Of course we have to dress up! Let's go! Let's go to the front hall! Everyone is almost here!"

Mrs. Jiang liked her more and more as she looked at her. She held her hand and told her stories about the clan members as they walked.

Look at her confused face as she listened to the earnest words of comfort.

"Don't worry about anything going wrong. Han Qing will be right beside you. And what's more! You are a distinguished guest of the Jiang family, so just let go of your arrogance! This is your home!"

"Thank you for your advice, Madam! Today is such a grand occasion, but is it also because of that matter?"

She and Jiang Xingzhi found out that the instigator was the He family, but the Jiang family did not take any action. Could it be that they were doing this today?

"You are a smart kid! That's right! The old thief from the He family is very cunning. He can be asked not to move for ordinary reasons, but he has something to hide, so how could he come easily! So we tricked him into coming here with vague excuses in the name of meeting a girl!"

"Does he have a daughter waiting to be married?"

"That's right! Just after the first month of last year, that old man fell in love with Bai Er, but I rejected her! Now that I think about it, I wonder if I hated him at that time!"

"If he hates and plots against me for this, he is too vicious!"

"The affairs between clans are too complicated. How could it be just this one incident? The Jiang family has been prosperous for the past decade! On the other hand, the other three families, especially the He family, had several sons who all died young. Only an eldest daughter and a mentally retarded young son survived. I'm afraid there will be no one to carry on the family line!"

There has always been a balance of power between the four major families, and this delicate relationship is tacitly understood by everyone. However, in the past decade or so, the Jiang family seems to be favored by God and has become unstoppable. First of all, the eldest son has a successful career, and although the second son is not so good, the third son's cultivation cannot be underestimated. How can other families not be wary of him!

And now that Jiang Xingzhi's luck has turned and he has moved to Yueyang Mountain, some people may be feeling uneasy and restless!

Madam Jiang continued, "So this old man has his eyes on Bai'er, saying that if the two children have children after marriage, the child should be named He, and he is willing to give all the assets of the He family! Of course I won't agree!"

Liuyun thought to herself, Jiang Bai is her beloved, her pride, and the future head of the Jiang family. How could she be interested in such a marriage? It's equivalent to a half-son-in-law! Mrs. Jiang would definitely not agree. I don't know how the He family could think of this!
As they were talking, they had already arrived at the front yard, where they could hear a lot of noise and laughter. The two of them stood at the door, attracting countless looks.

Immediately, several well-dressed women came up and started chatting with Mrs. Jiang.

The girls in the yard were attracted by the excitement here and looked over. They found Liuyun standing there motionless. Perhaps because they didn't know her face, they looked at her twice and then turned around to continue their own topic.

Liuyun stood there and looked around, but he didn't recognize any of the young ladies.
"Hey! What are you thinking about?"

A sweet yet gentle voice sounded behind her ears. It was Shangguan Hanqing. Finally, someone she knew.

"Sister Hanqing!" Liuyun turned around happily and saw that she had plump skin, a pink face, a swan neck, and a lively look. Compared to before she was pregnant, she had a quiet and restrained charm.

"Oh! Sister has become even prettier after raising her for so many days! She is loved by everyone and flowers bloom wherever she goes!"

"Wow! When did you become so sweet? It turns out that the desserts in my house are not eaten for nothing!"

She teased Liuyun and pulled her wrist to where there were more girls. When the girls saw that she and Shangguan Hanqing were so close, they also came over.

Each of them called Han Qing "Sister" sweetly as if honey was smeared on their lips. Liuyun also knew that except for a few who were too young, the rest of the slightly older ones came for the blind date. It was really a wish for girls to get married when they grow up!

Shangguan Hanqing pulled her to his side and introduced her solemnly, "This is my family's benefactor, his name is Ye Liuyun, he is the same age as my younger sister, you two must play well together and don't cause trouble!"

The girls looked at her again, and their eyes seemed to express regret for their previous mistake.

"Benefactor? He's just the one who came here to get married!" Someone in the crowd laughed sarcastically, "He's been here for such a long time, but he still doesn't have a proper identity. It's so funny!"
