Chapter 390 Lan 9 is back
It was raining heavily yesterday, but it was sunny today.
The dining tables were only placed outside the courtyard, with a special passage left for carriages to pass through.
Carriages arrived one after another in the morning. The first to arrive were Liu Ying's family. As Lin Jiaojiao had expected, Liu Ying's nephew was wearing a veil hat.
Grandma Fu, who came later, brought a group of men in veiled hats, all of whom called her brothers, sisters, and brothers in a shy voice, which gave her goose bumps.
Fortunately, these people did not stop at the door, but followed Grandma Fu into the house to see the children.
Fu Qi's cousins wanted to make friends with her, so they stood with her at the door to welcome guests for a while and chatted with her for a while, but they didn't want to disturb her too much and followed her in.
Lin Jiaojiao had just breathed a sigh of relief when several more carriages slowly drove over. It was County Magistrate Xiao's family, followed by Teacher Yang and his family of three.
She greeted them with a smile: "Master Xiao, Master Yang, welcome, welcome. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend my eldest daughter and son's hundred-day banquet, as well as my youngest daughter's full moon banquet."
County Magistrate Xiao was beaming with joy and asked his servants to deliver the prepared gifts.
"Hahaha, Master Lin, you are too polite. It is an honor for me to be able to attend the banquet hosted by your noble young master..."
After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Lin Dadan led County Magistrate Xiao and his family into the mansion.
Teacher Yang walked forward with a smile, holding the hand of a girl about five years old. The little girl was not shy and came up to hug Lin Jiaojiao's thighs, tilting her cute little face up.
"Hello Aunt Lin, my name is Yang Shitong."
"Tongtong, don't be rude."
Lin Jiaojiao smiled and said it was okay, and instead grabbed a handful of candy on the table and handed it to her.
After Yang Shitong took the candy in her hand, she let her go, thanked her, ran into the mansion and caught up with County Magistrate Xiao's team, and then distributed the candy in her hand to her good friends.
Teacher Yang looked at the little figure disappearing at the door with some helplessness, and apologized to Lin Jiaojiao.
"Master Lin, please forgive me if I have offended you. I am not afraid of strangers."
"It's okay. Tongtong is very cute and I like her very much."
"Hahaha, that's good. I'm planning to send her to your school in the spring of next year. Please take good care of her then."
"You left home to study at such a young age?"
"It's not far. The carriage only takes about half an hour. It's very convenient."
When Lin Jiaojiao learned that she would not be living on campus, she agreed with a smile and watched Teacher Yang and his wife enter the mansion.
She stuck her head out and saw that no carriage was approaching in the distance, so she sat down at the gift table, picked up a mint candy and started eating it to refresh herself.
Although she slept in her own room last night, Lin Lexing's crying was always intermittent. Later, she was worried and went to see him.
Fu Qi was very sleepy, but she was still rocking the rattle beside the crib. Zeng Yudie and Tongfu wanted to go forward to help, but as soon as they took over, Lin Lexing started crying.
She tried to comfort herself and fortunately she didn't cry.
While I was finishing a candy, another carriage arrived in the distance.
More than a dozen carriages were parked at the door in a row. Most of them were her business partners and those who had written invitations to her before. She was not very familiar with them, but she had met them once or twice and had some impression of them.
She greeted them with a smile and personally welcomed the large group into the mansion.
There were ten large tables in the inner courtyard, and even the entertainment room was converted into a men's lounge.
She brought all the women to the main room and sat them down. They did not see the children, as they were just taken into the room to rest.
It doesn’t matter to them whether they look after the children or not. They come here to integrate into Lin Jiaojiao’s circle and make more friends who can be beneficial to them.
The men and children stayed in the inner courtyard and walked around freely. The children got to know each other and played, while most of the men went in groups to visit the small garden and courtyard in the backyard.
Lin Jiaojiao sat and chatted with everyone for a while. When she heard Lan Yi say that another carriage had arrived, she quickly stood up, bowed, and left this large-scale commercial event.
When she arrived at the gate, Lin Jiaojiao saw the leading riders and guards, and she knew that it was Jiang's mother and the others who had arrived.
She walked forward to the carriage. At this time, Jiang's mother also got off the carriage. People got off the carriages behind one after another. She also saw Grandmother Su and others.
She did not rush over, but bowed to Jiang's mother first.
"Thank you for your hard work on the road, stepmother. It has been raining these days, so I'm afraid the road is not easy to travel."
Mother Jiang nodded: "Fortunately, it didn't rain in Qingzhou. We only felt the rain when we entered Nanshan City. It's just that Elder Su suffered from the bumpy ride. Jiao'er, go and have a look."
Of course Lin Jiaojiao understood Jiang's mother's intention. She bowed again and said goodbye, then walked towards the carriage behind. She smiled and nodded when she passed Jiang's father and Jiang Huai. When she glanced at the servant behind Jiang Huai, she paused slightly, unable to hide the surprise in her eyes.
Lan Jiu is back.
She did not stop but continued to walk towards Su's mother, but her smile deepened and she exuded joy all over her body.
"Mom, grandma, you are here. Grandma, you have worked hard on this journey. Let me help you in."
Grandmother Su smiled and said "good" three times. She was very satisfied with her granddaughter who was lost and found again. Not only was she already a sixth-rank official at such a young age, but she was also afraid that her rank would be promoted even more next year when potatoes and corn were successfully planted.
The only regret is that she was not recognized as an ancestral figure.
Fortunately, Su Minyue has done well now, and their Su family has a successor.
Lin Jiaojiao helped Grandmother Su into the main room. The people in the room quieted down and stood up to greet them, but most of them were greeting Jiang's mother.
Grandma Su didn't see the children in the house, so she took Lin Jiaojiao's hand and patted it.
"Where are the little ones?"
Lin Jiaojiao helped Grandma Su sit next to Grandma Fu and introduced both parties before answering the previous question.
"Grandma, the children will be out soon."
At this time, her three husbands came out pushing baby carriages. Grandmother Su stood up excitedly and asked the servants to bring up the gold and silver jewelry that had been prepared long ago. She personally put them on the three children respectively. Even the three husbands got a emerald green bracelet.
Jiang's mother was standing nearby. It was also the first time she saw these three children. They were all very cute.
It makes her want a granddaughter.
Thinking of this, she turned her head to glance at Jiang Huai who was standing next to Jiang's father. He was wearing a veil and her expression could not be seen clearly. When she looked away, her eyes met Jiang's father's, and they both smiled knowingly at the same time.
Jiang's mother waited until the Su family had presented their gifts before she had the gifts for the children delivered.
In this way, each of the three little ones had five safety locks hung around their necks, their limbs were covered with gold and silver bracelets, and some jade pendants and bracelets were also placed beside them.
Strangely enough, the three little ones didn’t cry or make a fuss even though they were dressed up so tediously. Instead, they laughed happily and made the elders laugh out loud.
Su's mother also seized the opportunity and began to introduce the relatives to Lin Jiaojiao.
At this time, Lin Jiaojiao also saw Su Minyue's father, the servant of the original owner's biological father.
He was too thin, and his face was pale, but he looked at her with red eyes, as if he had thousands of words he wanted to say.
Su's mother just introduced him and then moved on to introduce the next one. Lin Jiaojiao had no choice but to smile and nod at him.
When Lin Jiaojiao's gaze left him, he hurriedly took out his handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Husband, the young lady looks very much like you.
