Jiang Ruoli waited outside the mansion for a while, and then saw Duke Jiang and Jiang Ci'an following Madam Jiang out.

"Dad, second brother, you are going too?" Jiang Ruoli asked in surprise.

Duke Jiang coughed lightly.

"It happens that today is a day off, and your second brother and I have nothing to do at home."

"But it's a pity that your elder brother and sister-in-law have returned to the Feng Mansion."

Otherwise they would definitely go along.

Just to watch the fun, who wouldn’t want to go?

Jiang Ruoli nodded. So that's it.

"Let's go."

At Mrs. Jiang's command, the whole family got on the carriage and drove towards the Kong family.

When they arrived at the gate of the Kong family, Jiang Ruoli just stuck her head out and was dazzled by the golden light in front of her.

WTF?

Jiang Ruoli raised her hand to block the light and looked forward.

Then, a plump middle-aged woman wearing a bright yellow dress and a head full of golden pearl hairpins was seen standing at the door of the Kong family to welcome guests.

Under the dazzling sun, the pearl hairpins on her head were so dazzling that people felt dizzy.

Mrs. Jiang was also speechless when she saw this.

From childhood to adulthood, Wan Zhaoru's rustic aesthetic has not changed at all.

The Jiang family and their group got out of the car under the "dazzling golden light".

Mrs. Kong was really surprised to see Mrs. Jiang coming with her family.

She and Xie Rongzhi haven't been in touch for many years. When they occasionally meet on the street, they pretend not to see each other. What is Xie Rongzhi doing today?

He's not here to cause trouble, is he?

Mrs. Kong's face turned cold.

There have been changes in the court in recent days, and Mr. Kong's superior resigned and returned home. Mr. Kong made arrangements in many ways and finally got his promotion letter inserted into a pile of letters submitted by the Ministry of Personnel.

Mr. Kong has been an official for so many years, but he has always been suppressed by his superiors and has no chance of promotion.

Now that this opportunity finally comes, Mr. Kong must not miss it.

He was competing with another colleague. Seeing that the emperor's assessment was imminent, Mr. Kong took the opportunity of holding a full-moon banquet for his grandson to invite many colleagues in the officialdom in order to win them over.

So no matter what the Jiang family's purpose is today, Mrs. Kong will not let them ruin this full moon banquet.

Mrs. Kong looked at Mrs. Jiang sharply as she walked forward.

"Zhao Ru, congratulations on the birth of your grandson." Mrs. Jiang said in a good mood.

Mrs. Kong sneered.

"What's the wind blowing today? Even the high and mighty Madam Jiang has been invited here."

Mrs. Jiang smiled when she heard this.

"I ran into Wenzhi this morning. I heard that the second son had a baby boy, so I came to give him a gift."

Madam Jiang turned around and gave an order.

"Fuan, bring up the gift."

Fuan and a servant came forward, each holding a large gift box.

Mrs. Kong said disdainfully: "Thank you for your kindness, but our Kong family can't afford it. Please go back."

Upon hearing that Madam Kong wanted to drive the Duke of Zhenguo's family away, Mr. Kong quickly scolded them.

"Zhao Ru, what are you talking about!"

This is Duke Jiang!

How could their small Kong family afford to offend him? !

Mr. Kong winked secretly at Mrs. Kong, then looked at Duke Jiang with a smile on his face.

"Madam is ignorant. Lord Jiang, please don't argue with her. Please follow me."

"Yeah." Duke Jiang responded calmly and walked towards the door.

Mrs. Jiang was about to enter when she remembered something.

"Oh, right."

"Let's register the gifts first. I was not able to attend the full moon banquet for Wenzhi's eldest son, so I'll make it up to him this time."

Madam Jiang smiled at Madam Kong.

No wonder she needed two servants to hold the gift boxes, it turned out that she had prepared double the amount, she was quite tactful!

The expression on Mrs. Kong's face relaxed a little.

Mrs. Jiang's smile deepened, and she motioned Fu'an and the others to take the gift box to the accountant next to them.

Jiang Ruoli was puzzled.

[What gift did my mother prepare? ]

I was so eager to show it to Mrs. Kong...

Mrs. Jiang smiled slightly.

Don't be impatient, Li'er. You will know soon.

Duke Jiang and Jiang Ci'an also looked at it curiously.

The accountant opened the two gift boxes and was slightly stunned.

The stuff is good, but the color...

"Zhenguogong Mansion, presents two turquoise colored glass cups, a pair of fruit green celadon porcelain vases, two jade paperweights, and two emerald green gold-thread embroidered Shu brocade caps..."

As the last gift was registered, Jiang Ruoli couldn't help but burst out laughing.

[Mother, mother, it still has to be you——]

【It’s simply murderous! 】

These gifts are all green!

Mrs. Jiang raised her eyebrows proudly.

When giving gifts, of course they should touch the heart of the host.

Duke Jiang suppressed his smile and said, "This hat has a nice color. Green is suitable for children and makes them look young."

Mr. Kong flattered on the side: "Yes, yes, what Duke Jiang sent is naturally good."

Jiang Ci'an pursed his lips tightly, looked up at the sky, and tried hard to hold back his smile.

Jiang Ruoli thought about all the sad things that had happened in her life one by one.

Mrs. Kong's face turned red with anger.

"Xie Rongzhi, what on earth do you mean!"

By sending these on this day, is she trying to hint that Mr. Kong is living a life of debauchery outside and cheating on her? !

Madam Jiang said quietly, "Why, Zhaoru doesn't like it? I specially picked the most expensive gift in the mansion."

"Especially the two Shu brocade hats, the fabric is very rare..."

Mrs. Kong glared at Mrs. Jiang fiercely, her eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

"Ah~ That's right, your eldest grandson is already two years old, and this hat is indeed a little small for him, but you can leave it to Wenzhi's second child."

As she spoke, Mrs. Jiang covered her mouth and smiled.

"Zhao Ru, am I very considerate?"

The two brothers of the Kong family, one hat each, a perfect match!

Jiang Ruoli really couldn't hold back her laughter!

Mom, grab the bamboo shoots!

Mrs. Kong was so angry that she was about to go up and argue with her, but Mr. Kong quickly grabbed her back.

"Don't forget what the occasion is today!" Mr. Kong reminded her in a low voice.

Mrs. Kong stopped dead in her tracks.

Wring out the handkerchief with both hands.

She took a few deep breaths and managed to suppress her anger.

He turned around and ignored Mrs. Jiang.

Mr. Kong wiped the sweat off his head and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all. Please follow me."

Mr. Kong led the Jiang family towards the banquet hall.

Mrs. Jiang shrugged in boredom.

"Mom, you are so awesome!"

Jiang Ruoli followed behind, praising Mrs. Jiang in a low voice.

Mrs. Jiang smiled slightly.

"What's that? When we were in Jiangnan, I made her so angry that she couldn't eat for three days!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruoli couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

My god!

The Jiang family followed Mr. Kong into the banquet hall.

As soon as I entered the door, I was dazzled and couldn't open my eyes.

The room is filled with golden ornaments and decorations, which are so dazzling that it is simply blinding.

[Did the Kong family disturb the golden nest?! ]

The Jiang family nodded in agreement.

[But after all, it’s not my own money, so I don’t feel bad spending it…]

Duke Jiang and Jiang Ci'an paused.

What does Li'er mean by this?

Mrs. Jiang motioned for them to talk later.

Mr. Kong arranged seats for the Jiang family and went out to continue welcoming guests.

In the farthest corner of the banquet hall, a pair of eyes filled with hatred stared fiercely at the figure of Master Kong.
