On the way to the flower hall, Lin Shuyue suddenly thought of the Zhenhai Division. She looked at Tang Zhiwei and said, "By the way, Uncle Tang, I will write a letter to inform Governor Xiao of the Zhenhai Division about this matter. He has known about the Japanese pirates for a long time and has been keeping an eye on their movements. He will send someone to assist you when the time comes."

"Okay, that's great. Thank you for your hard work, Ayue."

Tang Zhiwei nodded happily. There was a huge difference between his soldiers and those from the Zhenhai Division. If Governor Xiao was willing to send someone, it would be much easier.

However, he was a little surprised. He did not expect that the Lin family and Governor Xiao had such a close relationship.

However, the three children of the Lin family are all extraordinary, kind-hearted, brave and resourceful, so it is not surprising that they are valued by the powerful Governor Xiao.

Speaking of Zhenhai Division, Lin An asked curiously, "Brother Tang, when will Yun Ci go to Zhenhai Division?"

Tang Zhiwei came back to his senses and explained with a smile, "It will be his sixteenth birthday in half a month. Your sister-in-law and I intend to wait until after his birthday before sending it to him."

"Brother Yun Ci's birthday is coming soon? Then I have to prepare a birthday gift for him." Lin Shuyue on the side continued.

"Haha... you little girl, you are quite thoughtful..."

The three of them walked towards the flower hall, talking and laughing.

In the flower hall, Tang Wanchu propped up her head and listened to her mother and Aunt Lin chatting away in boredom, occasionally tugging at the jade pendant around Tang Yunci's waist.

Hearing the laughter of Tang Zhiwei, Lin Shuyue, and Lin An approaching from afar, Liu Yufu looked towards the door, and seeing the figures of the three people, she immediately scolded: "What are you three talking about? You are so happy? Did you remember to eat?"

"Madam, I am truly sorry to have kept you waiting. Your husband would like to apologize to you."

Tang Zhiwei bowed to her in a pretentious manner, but there was a hint of smile in his eyes, which made Liu Yufu roll her eyes.

"Go away, stop making trouble. The children are here. If you don't feel ashamed, I do."

Liu Yufu rolled her eyes at him, pretending not to notice the others laughing with their hands covering their mouths, and pulled Lin Shuyue, who was trying not to laugh, to sit down, and said, "Hey, Runiang, Anzi, you guys sit down too, don't just stand there.

Wanchu, Yunci, you two should sit down quickly, or the food will get cold."

The only one who fell behind and was still standing was Tang Zhiwei, who was touching his nose awkwardly.

After a happy lunch, the Tang family took Lin An and his family of three for a stroll in the garden to help digest their food.

Little sisters Tang Wanchu and Lin Shuyue walked arm in arm, slowly following the four adults, while Tang Yunci fell behind at the end.

"Ayue, do you have anything to do tomorrow?"

Tang Wanchu glanced back at his second brother who was several steps behind him, then turned around and whispered in Lin Shuyue's ear.

"I'm still not sure, what's wrong?"

Lin Shuyue was a little puzzled when she saw her mysterious look.

"My second brother and I are going to a banquet tomorrow."

After saying this, Tang Wanchu curled his lips, and his round face wrinkled like a bun.

"It's so annoying. Every year there are flower viewing parties, birthday parties...

Everyone at the party was very powerful, and they would just hypocritically flatter me and my brother every time. It was not fun at all.

But because of my father, we have to go."

After complaining, she pulled Lin Shuyue's sleeve and shook her back and forth, saying in a tender voice: "Ayue, if you have nothing to do tomorrow, can you go with me? Otherwise, I will be bored to death."

Thinking of something, her eyes suddenly lit up, she stood on tiptoe, put her mouth close to Lin Shuyue's ear, and whispered, "I heard that Madam Jiang has also invited the famous Su Caizi to tomorrow's banquet. Ah Yue, come with me to take a look."

"Mrs. Jiang? The family of Governor Jiang?" Lin Shuyue raised her eyebrows. It was quite a coincidence.

"Yes, the Jiang family."

Tang Wanchu explained to her in detail: “It is the Jiang family who took the position of Tongzhi three months ago.

This banquet was held because his niece who came from the capital was celebrating her fifteenth birthday, and Madam Jiang invited many people with great fanfare. "

Fifteenth birthday? Lin Shuyue was a little confused.

In the Zhou Dynasty, girls were considered to be of jigui age when they were fifteen years old, and after that, they could talk about marriage.

The coming-of-age ceremony is a ceremony of great significance in a girl's life.

Normally, women in the Zhou Dynasty would hold a Jigui ceremony on the day they turned fifteen, receiving good teachings and blessings from their parents, elders, relatives and friends. Very few people would postpone the Jigui ceremony.

Why did this cousin of the Jiang family postpone her coming-of-age ceremony and travel all the way from the capital to Wuzhou?

However, Lin Shuyue was only slightly puzzled and did not delve too deeply into it.

"Okay, Yue, just go with me~"

Tang Wanchu pulled her sleeves and shook her...

"Okay, okay, I'll go with you. It just so happens that I also received an invitation. I was originally unsure whether to go or not, but in this case, let's go."

Lin Shuyue reluctantly pulled her hand away and saved her sleeve.

Hearing that Lin Shuyue agreed, Tang Wanchu jumped twice with joy, causing Tang Yunci who was following behind to roll his eyes.

At the end of the day, when the sun was at its highest point, Lin An and his family of three politely declined Tang Zhiwei and his wife's invitation to stay and stood up to say goodbye.

After leaving the Tang Mansion, the carriage headed straight to the west of the city. They had to look for the craftsman recommended by Liu Yufu's dowry manager.

In just one afternoon, the Lin family quickly decided on the craftsman. After paying the deposit, the family went to the blacksmith shop to order the pots and other tableware they would need.

It was already You time when we returned to Wutong Lane. The sun was gradually setting, but the temperature was still very high, stuffy and hot.

However, the Lin family members all have internal strength, and this hot and dull weather did not affect them.

The next day, after breakfast, Lin An took Qingyuan to the newly bought shop.

Looking at the sun, Lin Shuyue went back to the courtyard and changed into a willow green long skirt. Her long hair was simply tied up, and she only wore a white jade bracelet on her wrist, looking very plain.

"Ayue, be careful about everything."

At the gate, watching her daughter get on the carriage, Li couldn't help but give her instructions again.

Those officials are as cunning as a sieve. Although A Yue is very skilled in martial arts, he is afraid that they will use dirty tricks on him.

Lin Shuyue knew her mother's worries and comforted her softly, "Mom, don't worry, I will be careful, go back quickly!"

Li patted her hands and said softly, "Okay, you should leave too. Don't keep Wanchu waiting for too long."

After confessing to Li, the carriage carrying Lin Shuyue and Qingzhi drove slowly towards Jiang Mansion.

A quarter of an hour later, the carriage suddenly stopped, and then the driver Uncle Luo's report was heard.

"Miss, we can't go forward. There are too many carriages."

Hearing the driver's words, Lin Shuyue frowned slightly, and she lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out.

The carriage was almost at the Jiang Mansion, but the road ahead was blocked by one carriage after another.

There seemed to be a quarrel at the front of the team, and many maids and old women were standing on tiptoe to look around.
