Gu Jiaojiao's face turned blue and red, and she hurriedly took her maid Shi Liu back to the yard.

Shi Liu was combing her hair, but Gu Jiaojiao angrily broke the comb into two pieces.

She cursed in a low voice: "What's so great about it? I don't even want a broken hairpin or a broken hairpin, even if it's given to me for free."

Gu Jiaojiao dressed up and came out, and everyone was waiting anxiously.

Xie Xiangxiang said impatiently: "You knew you were going out today, why didn't you get dressed earlier and make everyone wait for you?"

Gu Jiaojiao looked particularly pitiful: "Sister-in-law, Jiaojiao was wrong. Jiaojiao was too playful and forgot."

It was originally agreed that Tu and Gu Jiaojiao would ride in the same carriage, but Gu Jiaojiao did not get on Tu's carriage.

She ran to Xie Zhaozhao's carriage, smiled sweetly and said, "Aunt San, can I ride in your carriage?"

Manman cursed in her heart, but seeing Xie Zhaozhao nod, she smiled and said, "Miss, come up."

Gu Jiaojiao got on the carriage and looked at the hairpin and hairpin on Xie Zhaozhao's head again, saying flatteringly: "Aunt, you haven't answered your niece's question yet! If I think these jewelry are beautiful, what do you want to do?"

Still thinking about it!

Xie Zhaozhao smiled, touched the hairpin on her head again, and said with a smile: "If you think it looks good, I will wear it more often in the future."

Gu Jiaojiao’s smile froze on her face, and she couldn’t breathe!

I applauded in my heart and gave Xie Zhaozhao over 10000 likes!

As early as when Gu Jiaojiao called the door and scolded Beichen for being a watchdog, Xie Zhaozhao said lightly: "You must respect Beichen."

She knew that the young lady would not give Gu Jiaojiao face.

Seeing the people who wanted to take advantage of her being humiliated, Manman smiled and said, "Ms. Zhang and the others all like to wear hairpins. I wonder what style she's wearing today?"

Xie Zhaozhao: "They don't care about these things. They usually prefer something more elegant."

They said they liked simple and elegant things, but they started to discuss the colorful cloud crown with 108 gems, the gilded and kingfisher-inlaid phoenix flying headpiece, the gold earrings inlaid with gems, and the pendants below were pearls, glass beads, rubies...

Those jewelry and gems that Gu Jiaojiao had never heard of seemed to be commonplace in the mouth of that slutty maid Manman!

Gu Jiaojiao wanted to interrupt several times but didn't know how. She could only laugh and laugh along, until the flesh on her face became stiff.

Finally we arrived at the garden of Duke Xun’s Mansion.

Zhang Yanyan had arrived a long time ago. She did not enter the garden but waited in the carriage at the gate.

Her maid was outside, staring at the intersection.

Liu Yiyi, Li Ranran, and Zhou Tangtang have all arrived. They called Zhang Yanyan to go in with them, but Zhang Yanyan refused, saying that she must greet Xie Zhaozhao at the door.

Seeing that she wasn't going in, the others just waited at the door.

Not long after, Second Madam Xie came with a few girls from the Xie Mansion. When she heard that they were waiting for Xie Zhaozhao, she did not go in and waited at the door with all the female members of the Xie Mansion.

Seeing Xie Zhaozhao's carriage from afar, the maids of several families jumped for joy.

"The old lady is here."

"The young lady has arrived."

Several young ladies and Mrs. Xie came out of the carriage.

Xie Zhaozhao knew that her besties were still unmarried and it was not easy for them to show up in public, so she immediately shouted, "Let's go in and talk!"

The few of them then gave up, and the carriages entered one after another.

Pei Yue, the young lady of the Duke Xun's Mansion, also sent someone to wait. When she heard that the wife of the Grand Lord had arrived, she immediately went to greet her in person.

The garden of Duke Xun's Mansion is very large, with a total of four gates. The servants and maids of Duke Xun's Mansion led everyone in from the north gate.

After entering the door, you will go to several areas according to the mansion and level.

Even though Tu came with Xie Zhaozhao, Pei Yue still found an excuse to lead Xie Zhaozhao, Zhang Yanyan, Second Madam Xie and others to the core area.

Tu, Xie Xiangxiang and several girls from the Hou Mansion were led to the "Hou" exchange area.

Gu Jiaojiao did not follow Xie Zhaozhao this time. She suddenly understood, if it’s not yours, don’t even think about it!

"Birds of a feather flock together." You belong to the kind of "circle" that determines what kind of person you are.

She couldn't fit into Xie Zhaozhao's circle.

When Zhang Yanyan saw Xie Zhaozhao, her eyes turned red. She grabbed her hand and couldn't say a word.

Xie Zhaozhao patted her hand gently and said, "Ayan, we grew up together. If you have any problems, I will be more anxious than you."

Zhang Yanyan's eyes were red: "Zhao Zhao..."

Xie Zhaozhao smiled slightly: "Ayan, I can't just stand and talk without any pain in my waist. I lied to you and said that it was just a piece of cake for Elder Gu. To be honest, Elder Gu really put a lot of thought into it and worked hard with many people to get the current result."

"I understand. My father and my grandmother understand. They take all aspects of these relationships into consideration. It's not a piece of cake... My grandmother said that our Zhang family will never forget the kindness of the elder and his wife."

"That's not necessary. We are good friends. If we don't help our own people, would we be like those villains who take advantage of their misfortunes? Wouldn't that be disheartening?"

"That's what I say, but who can stand up at the critical moment?" Zhang Yanyan wiped her eyes with a handkerchief. "Besides, this matter could lead to capital punishment if we are not careful, and it could also implicate the entire family."

Zhou Tangtang, Liu Yiyi and Li Ranran all knew that Zhang Hexuan had gotten into trouble, but they were not particularly clear about how the problem was resolved in the end.

Although their family is powerful, they have no say in the court.

Everyone was smart enough not to ask how the problem was solved, but everyone knew that Xie Zhaozhao and Gu Ge Lao helped a lot.

At critical moments, this sister can be relied upon!

The three words "Xie Zhaozhao" are a resounding golden signboard.

Zhang Yanyan became loyal to her from then on, and the sisters became even more united.

Madam Xie II asked Xie Zhaozhao whether she was used to waiting in the mansion, and also told her that her grandmother missed her very much. She didn't dare to act like an elder, because this niece was her great benefactor!

After everyone talked for a while, Pei Yue came over.

It had only been half a year since she got married to Prince Yin Jinzhuo, and this chrysanthemum show was also the first time she had organized a flower show independently.

The wife of Duke Xunguo had brought her along on previous occasions, but this time she just let her do nothing.

Even when Pei Yue was at home, she could not squeeze into the circle of Xie Zhaozhao and others. Pei Yue was just the second daughter of the Minister of Revenue, Pei Kunfu.

Pei Kunfu was a third-rank official and a member of the prince's party.

They are not in the same circle at all.

Therefore, Pei Yue was able to invite five top ladies including Xie Zhaozhao to the Chrysanthemum Party this time, which made her very prestigious in the upper class circle.

"Zhao Zhao, my half-brother is getting engaged to the second young lady of the Marquis's Mansion. My mother asked me to find out about the girl's character. Can you tell me about it?" Pei Yue said to Xie Zhaozhao.

If the half-brother from my natal family could marry the concubine's daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, it would be a marriage between the two mansions, and would indirectly tie them together with Lord Gu and the Xie Mansion.

Xie Zhaozhao smiled and said, "Sister Pei, you really stumped me. I have only been married to the Marquis' Mansion for a short time, and I have not dealt with these young people very often. Several girls are here today, why don't you take a look in person, Sister Pei?"

Pei Yue was unhappy when she heard this. Wasn't it just to inquire about the girls in the mansion? Xie Zhaozhao actually rejected it completely!

However, she couldn't afford to offend Xie Zhaozhao. The fact that so many people were waiting for Xie Zhaozhao at the door today was enough to show how powerful Xie Zhaozhao's circle was.

But now she is the wife of the prince of Xun Guogong and also a top star in the Beijing circle.

Pei Yue smiled and said, "The wife of the Grand Secretary is becoming more and more like an official's wife."

This is extremely rude!
