Chapter 96: Miscalculation
The guest list was drafted the first day.
Keli went to find the third uncle in junior high school to ask for the list and took it back to Jinning to show it.
Jinning looked at it and had to say that the old lady is really brave enough to invite her.
Princess Ping'an, Mrs. Jingguo, and Mrs. Jiangning were all invited to come.
Just let’s go, Mrs. Marquis of Jiangning, she will definitely come.
After all, after breaking up the engagement, the outside world would speculate, and she would have to do something to tell everyone that the two families did not fall apart, which would be considered as an explanation to the Marquis.
The arrival of Mrs. Jingguo Hou was quite surprised by Jinning.
The one who accompanied Mrs. Jingguo Hou was the more unruly Princess Ruian.
Princess Ruiqing is not on the list.
Of course, Jin Ning knew that only one of the two princesses could come, because there was only one princess in the Jingguo Hou Mansion, and there were never two.
But I heard from the third uncle of junior high school that the old lady invited two princesses.
There was only one Princess Ruian, and the old lady was not very satisfied.
Jinning put down the list and felt a little solemn.
She actually always wanted to see Mrs. Yasukuni.
She felt that Mrs. Yasukuniu knew a lot about her mother.
Over the years, she has always asked her about her mother indirectly, such as what kind of person her mother is, her appearance, her character, her way of dealing with things, etc., and what she knows is limited.
Although my master asked him to send someone to find the nanny and maid who served his mother back then, there was no news yet.
Duke Chen was afraid that Jinning would cause something, so he specially asked the third uncle of the junior high school to come and tell Jinning that she would restrain herself tomorrow.
Jin Ning laughed it off.
The next morning, Jinning got up and dressed up. Qingying asked if she was wearing the head and face brought by the old lady. Jinning said, "Just leave the face on the other side. Don't move if you have nothing to do. Let's take it back."
Ke Li smiled, "Why are you so clear?"
"She has always been like this, showing her generous and generousness, but is she really willing to give me such a good face?"
"Did you deliberately let me wear it on your head today and let someone know that it was given to you by her? Then I found a reason to take it away?" asked Ke Ling strangely, "How did you know she would do this? Haven't you ever been with her?"
Logically speaking, she had never seen this old lady when she came back from the village, but she knew the old lady's routines very well.
Jinning just smiled but said nothing.
You don’t have to tell lies to your own people, just say nothing.
Jinning did not have any jewelry that was obvious when he came back from the village. He received the emperor's reward and did not buy much. However, Su Yi sent a box and took out any one, which was more luxurious than the old lady gave him.
Moreover, Princess Ping'an also gave some. She really doesn't need them now, but she just didn't wear them in the past.
Under the skirt of the moon-white cloud pattern, Shu brocade embroidered crabapple satin embroidered crabapple satin, there is a pair of embroidered treasure shoes, pearls inlaid with the toe of the shoe, and the hair is tied with a bun. It is first fixed with a white jade bell hairpin, and then with a gold bead of the South Pearl. The woman who has not yet gotten married looks solemn, but she is just right to have the identity of a county lord.
The makeup is light, and the eyebrows are drawn a little upward, and the raised eyebrows are even more heroic, with bright eyes and white teeth, which is indescribable bright and charming.
"It's amazing when you dress up." Ke Ling Keli looked at her eyes dumbfounded.
Jinning looked at himself in the diamond glasses and said thoughtfully: "Everyone says that I am similar to my mother, I don't know, how similar are they?"
Bu Yao, Shu Jin, Ling Yunji, I heard that my mother probably dressed up like this in the past.
She wants to give the old lady a surprise.
"Have you never seen a portrait of your wife?" Ke Ling asked.
Jinning said: "No!"
Qingying came over, "I heard from the people in the mansion that the Duke of the State has a portrait of his wife in his hand, but it is hidden in the drawer of the study and has a key."
Jinning remembered it secretly.
After finishing his dressing up, Jinning took Ke Ling Keli out.
The old lady was sitting in the main hall, waiting for the young ladies in the mansion to come and pay their respects.
Jinning saw her from afar. From a distance, she could see her kind-hearted smile with her children and grandchildren beside her, looking happy.
Jinning stepped in.
The kind-hearted smile froze. He raised his eyes and stared at Jinning for a long time, with a shrewd look in his eyes and an unhappy look in his eyes.
"Grandmother!" Jinning stepped forward and shouted, looking respectful. After all, Yuan's "teaching" has made contributions.
The old lady smiled slowly, "Well, she is dressed very well. Why don't you wear the head and face that my grandmother gave you yesterday?"
Jinning replied with a smile: "I am so proud of my grandmother, so my granddaughter is naturally reluctant to wear it, so I keep it for treasure."
"Silly child, what my grandmother gave you, you'll wear it." The kind-hearted eyes opened again, but the smile was only on the flesh.
Duke Chen was very comforted, and was afraid that Jinning would be so sharp that he would part in a bad mood.
Yuan smiled and walked up to take Jinning's hand, and said amiably: "You kid, you are so beautiful."
"Everyone says I look like my mother, I wonder if it really looks like me?" Jinning said.
Yuan was stunned for a moment, "It's like a little bit."
Chen Jinxian stepped forward and grabbed Jinning's hand and said sincerely: "Sister, my sister apologizes to you for Luo'er. She is young and ignorant, so don't blame her."
Jinning looked at the generous and decent Chen Jinxian with a smile, "How could that happen? Sister, stop saying that."
"That's good!" Chen Jinxian breathed a sigh of relief.
She sincerely hopes that Jinning and Chen Jinluo will live in peace.
She is already eighteen, and the imminent thing is to find her husband's family. If her sisters are not in harmony, they will always be spread outside, which indirectly affects her reputation.
"Sister Ning!"
A clear voice sounded, very gentle.
Jinning looked into a pair of deep eyes, and the handsome face had a soft smile.
"Brother!" Jin Ning was blessed.
If I said that in this family in my previous life, the only good thing to her is this elder brother.
Chen Lianghui, the eldest son of the second uncle Chen Shoucheng, was adopted by the eldest wife, and in fact, she was also her eldest brother.
However, because Changsun later gave birth to a son, the old lady asked him to go back and follow his biological father.
His biological mother died early and grew up next to Yuan. Yuan's appearance was generous but mean behind his back. Therefore, this elder brother never lived a good life.
In addition, the old lady was originally a person who valued the legitimate family and despised the illegitimate family. Since he was a child, he knew that he would have to make wedding clothes for his legitimate brother in his life.
Chen Lianghui is actually the shadow of Duke Chen.
However, Chen Lianghui is even more stupid and never plans for himself.
Jinning looked at Chen Shoucheng's youngest son Chen Liangqi.
Chen Liangqi had clear eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and a face that was even more delicate and fair than a woman. He sat there with a very arrogant attitude. When he saw Jinning looking over, he sneered coldly.
Jinning smiled faintly. If the old lady expects Chen Liangqi to pass on the family line for their Chen family, she will have made a mistake in her wishful thinking.
