Wen Family Embroidery Workshop
Nighttime!
Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong packed up and planned to pay a visit.
According to custom, one had to bring a gift when visiting!
Jing Rong ordered someone to prepare a small gift that was neither expensive nor light.
However, Mo Ruo caught up to her just before she stepped out the door.
"There's good wine, why didn't you bring me along?" he complained.
Like a child.
Jing Rong glanced at him in disdain. "This isn't your maiden home. You still have to take care of your children. You should just stay here. I'll order someone to bring you a few jars of wine. You can slowly drink it yourself."
"That won't do. The wine you get isn't good enough. Other people's wine is better."
"You …"
"You can't let down this beautiful wine! You guys went to drink, but left me behind. This is too unkind. I have to go. "
Very stubborn!
Jing Rong felt a headache coming on.
In the end, he could only agree.
Since Mo Ruo wanted to tag along, Tang Si naturally had to as well. She bounced over and grabbed Ji Yunshu's wrist, swinging it. "Ah Ji, I'll go with you. Bring me along. If all of you go, it'll be so boring to leave me alone! Besides, I know Little Xiyue too. "
Two burdens!
In the end, he could only bring them along.
He walked out of the door, took a turn, and arrived at his destination. It couldn't be any closer.
That dyeing workshop had a very elegant name, "Wen Family Brocade Workshop".
It was said that this family's surname was Wen, and that their ancestors were all officials. However, due to a certain reason, they slowly declined and were unable to recover. They had no choice but to start a cloth shop.
It was said that when God closed a door for you, he would open a window for you.
The Wen family couldn't do well in the officialdom, but they had a smooth sailing career in the business world and made a name for themselves.
The color of the Wen Family Embroidery Workshop's cloth was evenly dyed and never faded. The cloth was smooth and of good quality. It was also made of high-quality silk. Therefore, it had always been a tribute to the royal family. A large batch of it would be sent to the capital all year round to be used as clothes for the officials and members of the royal family.
The nobles and the royal family in the capital were quite fond of them.
Perhaps the clothes Jing Rong was wearing now belonged to his family.
As soon as the four of them arrived at the entrance of the Wen Family Embroidery Workshop, the housekeeper was already waiting outside.
He cupped his fists in greeting.
Little Xiyue also ran over from afar and held Ji Yunshu's hand intimately. "Big Brother, you're here."
He was extremely excited!
She stroked her head and smiled softly.
When Little Xiyue saw the other three people beside her, her small and slender brows involuntarily furrowed.
Jing Rong looked at her with the expression of a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey. His smile was as if he was teasing a child.
Mo Ruo, on the other hand, couldn't wait to look inside, as if he had inhaled "white powder".
Tang Si stuck to Ji Yunshu's side and almost reached out to pinch her cheeks again.
Strange!
How strange!
Little Xiyue wasn't a stingy person. After all, there was still a lot of food at home. She quickly pulled everyone in.
In the main hall.
The Wen couple were already seated. When they saw the newcomers, they quickly stood up to welcome them.
The two of them looked kind, not as crafty as the other rich families.
Old Master Wen cupped his hands and greeted Jing Rong, "Greetings, Your Highness."
It wasn't strange to know that the newcomer was a prince. After all, someone had suddenly moved in next door, which had been empty for many years. Naturally, they had to make some inquiries. When they found out that there was actually a prince living next door, they were shocked.
Moreover, that prince had come uninvited tonight.
A Buddha had arrived, so they didn't dare to slight him.
Jing Rong smiled and nodded, "Old Master Wen, there's no need to be so polite. We're not in the capital right now, so there's no need to greet us."
"This Wen should have gone to greet Your Highness, but I was afraid of disturbing Your Highness. Tonight, I didn't expect that Your Highness would deign to come to our estate. This Wen is truly in the wrong. I should have welcomed you."
However, his face didn't show the slightest bit of discomfort.
"Old Master Wen, this Prince came uninvited, how can I blame you? Just treat this Prince as a guest. " As he spoke, he handed over the gift in his hand, "This is a small welcome gift. Please don't mind it, Old Master Wen."
"How would I dare, how would I dare?"
Old Master Wen quickly ordered his servants to accept the gift.
Little Xiyue excitedly pulled Ji Yunshu two steps forward and introduced, "Father, Mother, this is Brother Ji. I've been looking for him for the past few days. Brother is very good to me and often brings me pastries."
The two Wen elders' gazes fell on Ji Yunshu. In that instant, their pupils visibly widened with barely visible excitement. There were even some tears in their eyes.
That emotion was fleeting as well.
Madam Wen seemed to like her very much. She came up and grabbed her wrist, "Teacher Ji, Xiyue has really troubled you these past few days. She's still immature, so please forgive her."
Ji Yunshu shook her head and said with a smile, "Madam Wen, what are you saying? It's just that the courtyard isn't so lonely now that there's a little maid."
"Have you tried the osmanthus cake?"
"Yes, it's delicious."
"That's good. When you go back later, I'll order someone to prepare some more for you to take back. If you want to eat it in the future, just tell Xiyue and I'll make it for you."
Ji Yunshu found it hard to refuse such hospitality, so she could only say, "Thank you, Madam Wen."
"You're welcome. It's good that you like it." Madam Wen was very enthusiastic, even looking at Ji Yunshu with a bit of maternal love and doting love.
She was so enthusiastic. Even if Ji Yunshu had taken care of Little Xiyue for a few days, Madam Wen shouldn't treat her so well.
She was simply too enthusiastic.
Old Master Wen seemed to realize that something was wrong. He hurriedly pulled his wife back and said, "Alright, alright. The guests have been standing for a long time. Let them quickly take their seats."
Only then did Madam Wen react. "Yes, yes, yes. Old Master is right. Look at me, I was too busy talking. It's my fault. Come, everyone, please take your seats."
Everyone took their seats.
Jing Rong and Old Master Wen sat on the host's seats.
Madam Wen and Little Xiyue sat on Old Master Wen's right, followed by Mo Ruo. Ji Yunshu and Tang Si sat on Jing Rong's right.
They sat on both sides.
Logically speaking, Little Xiyue wasn't allowed to attend a banquet before she turned fifteen. However, Old Master Wen and Madam Wen seemed to have tacitly agreed and didn't lecture her. It could be seen that the Wen Family wasn't conservative.
Little Xiyue suddenly stood up and insisted on sitting next to Ji Yunshu. She looked at her like a little fangirl and even took the initiative to put food in her bowl.
Tang Si, who was at the side, should have been filled with anger and jealousy, but her eyes would occasionally look at Mo Ruo, who was sitting directly opposite her.
She saw that the boy only cared about drinking as soon as he sat down. His eyes were intoxicated, and he poured cup after cup into his stomach, still wanting more.
Tang Si lightly smashed the chopsticks in her hand on the table. She was a little unhappy.
She didn't know what she was angry about.
Was she angry that he only cared about drinking and didn't look at her?
Or was she angry that she actually … had her first awakening of love for her sworn enemy?
Thinking of this, she felt that it was too scary. She fiercely drank a mouthful of wine.
