Chapter 275 - 179: Touched_2
Shopkeeper Cui’s wife, Lady Hong, and daughter-in-law, Lady Hua, were also seated.
The siblings paid their respects in a round and then were beckoned by the two old ladies. Both were fond of the beautiful children, each holding one’s hand and not letting go for some time.
The siblings sat with Lan Jiejie and Qing Jiejie on a few small brocade stools near the edge of the hall, whispering to one another.
Lan Jiejie said, "Brother Jin, Sister Xiu, I want to see your Monkey Brother and the Wolf Dog."
On hearing this, Qing Jiejie quickly added, "Qing Jiejie wants to see them too, Qing Jiejie wants to see them too."
"Alright, come home with us today and stay for a couple of days. The golden lotuses in our lake have bloomed, they are incredibly beautiful," Qian Yeejin invited enthusiastically, and began to describe the unique charm of their lotus flowers.
Hearing this, the little sisters were even more eager to visit.
While Yixiu chatted with the little sisters, she also listened intently to the adults’ conversation, which centered around Liang Jinzhao.
It seemed that Uncle Liang’s grandfather was not only Master Duke, but also held a high position, being a First Rank Commander-in-Chief. However, he had resigned from this actual post two months prior, and the Emperor had conferred upon him the honorary title of Taifu. Liang’s father had not only inherited the rank of Duke of Weiguo but also been promoted three ranks, being appointed as the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Army of the second grade—a testament to the profound grace of the Emperor.
