Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

In ancient times, Tingyu Tower seldom hosted normal banquets. Even among the wealthy officials and their families in the capital, only a handful of people had ever visited.

While everyone was marveling at the luxury and elegance of this place, the perceptive Hong Chu noticed that the management here was truly unique.

Guests came in droves, but the reception was not chaotic at all. Where to drink tea, where to sit and enjoy the flowers, where to appreciate the lotus, where to take a boat ride, where to listen to music, everything was arranged neatly, and the servants treated the guests generously and politely, neither humble nor arrogant.

Hong Chu was a little annoyed, and ordered the maid behind him, "Take a set of clothes that I left on the carriage and give it to Huang Ge'er's wife."

The little girl had been running for a long time before Jiang Siling realized that Huang Ge's daughter-in-law was talking about her. She quickly looked up and waved her hand, saying, "No need, young lady!"

"If you have anything to say, go back and say it. What I say here is what it is!" Hong Chu frowned and glanced at her, then angrily said, "Just speak openly! Don't hold it in like this, as if no one likes you! Eat what you should eat, do what you should do!"

After they finished talking, a little girl from Tingyu Tower ran over and said with a smile, "Ladies, hurry up, the banquet has begun!"

Several people walked quickly forward, and after walking for about a cup of tea, they finally arrived at the venue of today's banquet.

Going up the river, under the winding corridor, there are countless long tables, each of which is filled with exquisite delicacies made with lotus flowers and lotus leaves. From a distance, you can't see the end.

The little girl led them to their seats very accurately and removed the lotus flowers that were placed on top.

Hong Chu took two steps forward and sat beside his mother-in-law, looking at her with a half-smile: "Did you see that? That one is your real sister-in-law!"

Concubine Jin and the other concubines in the harem sat in the main seats, with Yu Ran sitting next to them, and Anan sitting next to Yu Ran.

Anan was born with beautiful features and was pretty. Today, she was wearing a light green dress that was light and flowing. It had no large embroidery or wrinkles, but a simple and relaxed style. She had her hair tied into a simple bun. Apart from a emerald green and transparent jade bamboo hairpin on her head, there were no other ornaments. Sitting next to the elegant and wealthy Yu Ran, she was not inferior to her in the slightest. Instead, she looked playful, casual, lively and unrestrained, which was particularly eye-catching.

Hong Chu looked over and saw Concubine Jin talking to her with a smile on her face.

Madam Wei snorted coldly and said, "If you were not so reluctant to let go of those worthless two taels of face, you should have a seat at the table now!"

Hong Chu had had enough of Mrs. Wei's sarcasm, so he restrained his expression, lowered his head, and twisted the handkerchief in his hand, filled with hatred.

When Mrs. Wei saw her like this, she just smiled coldly and turned to chat with the other women beside her.

At this moment, Jiang Siling's eyes were attracted by the lotus cake on the table, which was Hong Huang's favorite. Because the mistress Ge didn't like the taste very much, she never made it in the mansion. She occasionally sent people out to buy it, but it was not as exquisite and delicious as the one here.

She nibbled the cake in her hand silently, thinking to herself, it would be nice if Hong Huang was there too. He had never seen such a lively and grand scene, and had never eaten such delicious dishes and cakes...

Ge was filled with hatred. She sat in her seat and stared at Anan fiercely, wishing she could tear her into pieces with her eyes. She thought to herself, this woman is not simple! Every time she fought with her, she could hardly gain any advantage, and she would always beat her to death. Even if she spoke, she would not get any good results.

So many women from wealthy families can become royal relatives simply by virtue of their relationship with Miss Yu. I really underestimated him before.
