Those with lower statuses did not hesitate, even bringing their daughters and wives to add to the trousseau.Lady Jiang sighed wistfully.Du Zhao consoled her: "They still have their own lives to lead;being here is already a demonstration of their kindness.
We can celebrate Liuzhu’s wedding again when Viscount Jiang's case is cleared, and then we'll be able to do so properly!""Your concern for me is deeply moving," Lady Jiang patted Du Zhao’s hand in gratitude, "I'm not worried about this.
The Jiang family might not return to power anytime soon.
This marriage gives us a chance to meet the right people.
If there's trouble later, they won't be able to help;but if it's minor issues, they can still show their support from afar.
I see so many guests here now and wonder when this will happen again."She was grieving for her unmarried sisters-in-law!Not only were their wedding prospects uncertain, but they would never have the same scene as Liuzhu’s.Du Zhao reflexionó mientras Jiang Xieshou y Jiang Xieying llevaban un par de macetas conFlor de cerezo para añadir al conjunto de regalos de Liuzhu.Sensing this, Jiang Xieying said with a smile: "It is also your good fortune.
You often say that even a blade of grass or a drop of dew has its place;our prosperity isn't just in the trousseau."Lady Jiang nodded repeatedly, her expression easing.Du Zhao nodded inwardly as well.Jiang Xieying turned out to be candid!Du Zhao glanced at Jiang Xieshou.Jiang Xieshou was smiling but the subtle sorrow on her face seemed deeper.Du Zhao took a sip of tea.Outside, there was a commotion.Everyone was surprised when Song Han entered calling "Aunt."Du Zhao saw it was indeed him.Llevaba un brocado plateado y rojo con motivos de bambú, y su cabello negro estaba recogido con un broche de jade blanco.
Tenía un ligero rubor en la cara debido a su llegada apresurada, pero sus ojos brillaban de emoción."Here are gifts for the sister-in-law," Song Han said after greeting Jiang Xieshou and Jiang Xieying.His enthusiasm was infectious;Jiang Xieshou and Jiang Xieying laughed.He pulled Lady Jiang’s hand and showed her what he had brought: "This is Liuzhu's trousseau, this one for Aunt, this one for Thirteenth Sister, and the last one for Fourteenth Little Miss..."Excitement was evident in his eyes;Jiang Xieshou and Jiang Xieying couldn’t help laughing.He then opened a box and took out a Western clock.
"Thirteenth Sister, this should startle Wu Family and make them look at Liuzhu differently," he said to Jiang Xieshou.Jiang Xieshou gently tapped Song Han's forehead and scolded him: "You little brat, do you think the Jiang family is nouveau riche?Stop daydreaming.
Properly prepare for Liuzhu’s trousseau!"She now had the proud air of a Jiang family member.Lady Jiang and others laughed as did Song Han himself;he smiled with satisfaction, clearly delighted to please Jiang Xieshou.Jiang Xieshou must have been adored in Viscount Jiang's household.
Otherwise, such reactions wouldn't be possible.Du Zhao noted this.When Song Mo came to fetch her, she asked about Liuzhu."She can be a bit impatient but is kind to others," Song Mo said with a smile.
"I used to love playing with her at Uncle’s home.""Did the elders consider marrying you?" Du Zhao blurted out awkwardly.Song Mo's eyes brightened.
"They seem to think I'm not worthy of Thirteenth Sister," he stared at Du Zhao, his face lit up with a smile as his joy spilled over.
"They might prefer someone less clever and more jealous..."Du Zhao felt her cheeks burning, and she threw the pillow behind her at Song Mo."Oh!Why are you hitting your master?You want to go to bed tonight," he pretended to cover his head and laughed uncontrollably.
"If you dare hit me, don't expect dinner this evening!You won’t be sleeping on the upper bunk without my permission!"Du Zhao couldn't help but laugh at Song Mo's antics.(To Be Continued)
