Chapter 739

The mother and daughter were talking and discussing while waiting for Mother Zhou to come back.

As Li Wanrou thought about it, she couldn't wait more in her heart, and she worried: "Mother, what if the village woman refuses to borrow it? Where has she seen such a good thing before? How can she be willing to let go? "

But the second lady said: "This is a matter of your life. If you ask her to borrow two pieces of jewelry, she is too embarrassed to not give it? Hmph, if she doesn't give it, it will be too impersonal! Don't worry, Zhou mama can't borrow it, I Just go by yourself!"

Li Wanrou finally felt relieved and smiled happily, "Thank you, mother!"

As soon as she heard that Mother Zhou was back, Li Wanrou couldn't wait to order her to come in, her eyes fixed on her hand: "Where is the thing? Where is it?"

Mammy Zhou was stunned for a moment, and she didn't care to salute, so she could only say: "The old slave didn't borrow the things, and the lady over there said—"

"What did you say!" Li Wanrou angrily turned her head to look at the second lady: "Mother, did you hear me? She wouldn't borrow that village woman!"

The second lady's face also sank, and she said coldly: "Did you make it clear? Didn't I explain it to you? How important is this banquet to Wanrou, and her sister-in-law's marriage is good, isn't it good for her? Have you made it all clear? Besides, it's just borrowing and borrowing, why is she so stingy?"

Li Wanrou's eyes were also bright, staring at Mammy Zhou almost to stare at a hole in her.

Mammy Zhou subconsciously trembled, and hurriedly said: "Madam, miss, the third lady said that she also received an invitation from Miss Zhu's family, and she is going to the banquet the day after tomorrow, so she has to wear the jewelry herself— "

"what!"

"What did you say!"

The two ladies, mother and daughter, called out in unison and looked at each other.

"It's impossible!" Li Wanrou screamed: "What is she! She's just a vulgar village woman from the countryside. What kind of identity is Miss Zhu Liu, how could she invite her! You must have been deceived by her!"

The second lady glanced at her daughter, but her expression was a little uncertain.

Miss Zhu Liu invited her daughter and Lian Fangzhou?

Li Wanrou was still pressing Mama Zhou, but the second lady sighed softly and stopped her, and said softly: "Okay Wanrou, don't blame Mama Zhou! This kind of thing can't deceive people, no matter how stupid she is. I don't think I'm going to tell such a lie!"

"Mother! Why don't you speak for her!" Li Wanrou stomped her feet in anger.

"How could mother help her?" The second lady took her daughter to sit down with pity, and said to Mother Zhou, "Go out first!"

Momo Zhou was relieved and hurriedly agreed to quit.

The second lady's eyes flashed slightly, and she sneered: "Wanrou, do you still remember those rumors you heard a few years ago?"

"Rumour? What is it?" Li Wanrou didn't expect her mother to say such a word inexplicably, and she was a little annoyed after being shocked.

She only cares about the banquet she is going to attend at the moment.

The second lady sighed softly and said, "You! What else? Isn't it just a rumor between Miss Zhu's sixth miss and your third brother?"

Li Wanrou was stunned for a while, and suddenly realized: "This is what you said! Oh, mother! What time are you talking about this!"

"You silly girl!" The second lady sighed: "Think about it carefully, why did Miss Zhu Liu suddenly invite you to a banquet and Lian Fangzhou? Back then, she admired your third brother wholeheartedly and was looking forward to marrying him. of!"

"But the third brother married Lian Fangzhou!" Li Wanrou's eyes lit up, and she finally understood.

But--

"But mother told me what does this have to do with me? Mother, I don't have any fancy jewelry, what can I do the day after tomorrow! I don't want people to look down on me!" Li Wanrou said angrily.

No matter how much the second lady loves her daughter, she has to admit her daughter's nerves, so she can only say patiently: "Think about it, Lian Fangzhou, a country woman, married your third brother, how can you be willing to be called Miss Zhu Liu? Mother? If you guess correctly, Miss Zhu Liu invited you, she must be trying to make friends with you, through you, through our family, and talk more about her in front of your third brother, and Lian Fangzhou, she will definitely try to call her. Lian Fangzhou makes a fool of himself!"

Li Wanrou thought for a while, then clapped her hands and smiled: "Yes, it must be so! Otherwise, how could Miss Zhu Liu invite someone like Lian Fangzhou to go there!"

The second lady gave a "hmm", her spirits lifted, and said: "So Miss Zhu Liu will definitely get close to you, Wanrou, you must seize the opportunity and make good friends with Miss Zhu Liu! If she embarrassed Lian Fangzhou, remember You have to stand far away, don't talk too much for her, you know?"

The second lady obviously looked down on Li Wanrou too highly.

Li Wanrou rolled her eyes and said, "Mother, what are you talking about! How can I help her? I wish she would make a fool of herself! Hmph, that country woman, I really don't like it! When she becomes The laughing stock in the whole capital, see if the third brother still wants her!"

The second lady smiled reassuringly: "If your third brother doesn't want her anymore, then Miss Zhu Liu is very likely to be your sister-in-law, and then—"

"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely get close to her!" Li Wanrou's eyes lit up and she was overjoyed.

The mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled, quite contented.

"But, mother, what kind of jewelry should I wear the day after tomorrow! I don't have any good jewelry that can hold the scene!" Li Wanrou became distressed again.

The second lady gritted her teeth and said, "Forget it, let's buy it now!"

Only then did Li Wanrou rejoice, and she hugged the second lady's arm and snuggled on her body and said coquettishly, "It's still mother, you love me the most!"

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the banquet. After breakfast, Lian Fangzhou changed his clothes and combed his hair to prepare to go out.

She has never been very particular about these things, and since there is no good banquet, she may not know what the situation will be today, and there is no need to be in the limelight.

I only chose a satin-fronted and narrow-sleeved waistcoat with lilac embroidered Primrose Four Gentlemen, water blue and bamboo leaf pattern trimmings, a fish belly white shirt with a stand-up collar on the eyebrows, and a pine-colored pleated skirt.

Combing the fallen Japanese temples, except for a slightly conspicuous eight-treasure-dotted aster flower adorned with silver tassel, there are no outstanding hairpin rings, and there are the pair of suet white jade bracelets on the wrists.

There is elegance in the grace, fresh but not petty. It seems to be peaceful and tranquil, not eye-catching, and will not fall into identity.

Li Fu didn't need to go to court today, and he didn't go to the yamen. He circled Lian Fangzhou in the morning.

Seeing her getting dressed and coming out, she said, "I'll take you there! Otherwise, just go in and say hello, then when the banquet is too boring, what are you going to do? If you want to enjoy chrysanthemums, I'll take you to protect the country. Go to the temple, I heard that there are a few bushes of chrysanthemums there!"

Lian Fangzhou knew that he was not at ease with himself, for fear that he would be plotted against by Zhu Yuying.

However, what should come will always come.
