Chapter 154 Why do you want her to go so much?
This was Han Nian'an's first time at the Jiang family in this life. When she was brought to Jiang Suining's yard, she felt unhappy.
Although she occupied Han Yueying's yard as soon as she arrived at the Han family, it was still obviously far inferior to Jiang Suining's yard.
When she first came to the Jiang family in her previous life, she also lived in this courtyard, but not long after, the Jiang family went bankrupt, and she didn't get to enjoy it for as long as Jiang Suining.
After entering the room, Han Nian'an's jealousy surged up all of a sudden.
The bed was carved from red sandalwood, with delicate orchid patterns embroidered on the bed curtains. Beside the bed was a low table made of the same material, on which was placed a small purple gold incense burner, which had a light and pleasant fragrance. Opposite the bed was a landscape screen made of top-quality silk, with lifelike landscape paintings on it.
To the right of the screen was an ebony desk, and behind it was a row of shelves. In addition to books, there were many ornaments, including a white jade vase near the window, in which a few crabapple flowers were casually inserted. It seemed that the precious white jade vase was not worth mentioning in Jiang Suining's room, and was just used casually.
There was a chaise longue covered with a brocade cushion by the window. Jiang Suining was leaning on it, looking at her calmly, and casually placed the teacup on the small coffee table beside the chaise longue. His manner was leisurely and casual, yet elegant.
Han Nian'an's gaze stayed on Jiang Suining, and for a moment he even felt that he had returned to his previous life, when Jiang Suining brought him back to the Marquis' Mansion.
At that time, Jiang Suining was so noble, with the best food, clothing, housing and transportation. She had just escaped from the brothel, so she felt jealous at first sight.
After coming to his senses, Han Nian'an felt a sense of unwillingness.
How could Jiang Suining still live such a wealthy life in her new life? The Jiang family did not go bankrupt again. Instead, the Han family was very stingy. She had argued with Han Mingzhang over the dowry a few days ago, and the dowry she got in the end was not as good as what the Jiang family prepared for her in the previous life after it went bankrupt.
Han Nian'an's eyes were filled with jealousy, and Jiang Suining looked at her, waved his hand to signal the servant who brought people over to retreat, and then spoke.
"Have you seen enough?"
She understood what Han Nian'an was thinking. Last time when Zheng Yan'er was sent away, because she took out the decorations in the room, her father and mother felt that she was wronged, so they sent her a lot of things. She didn't get disappointed and picked out some of her favorite ones to put up. Now, the cheapest decoration in this room is probably worth Han Nian'an's monthly salary for several years in the Han family.
Han Nian'an came back to her senses quickly after hearing the smiling tone. Not wanting to be laughed at by Jiang Suining, she immediately suppressed her jealousy, acted as if she didn't care, and raised her chin to speak.
"Jiang Suining, my wedding date is set, it's in five days. I came here today to give you the wedding invitation."
As he spoke, Han Nian'an took out a wedding invitation and waved it towards Jiang Suining before putting it down, looking very proud.
Jiang Suining kept smiling, "This is the first time I've seen a wedding invitation for a concubine. It's an eye-opener."
"Don't mock me here. What's wrong with being a concubine? This is the Marquis's Mansion. Even a concubine is more noble than a merchant girl like you. Moreover, after I enter the Marquis's Mansion, I will naturally have many ways to win the heart of the prince. By then, it is not impossible for me to become the mistress of the house. But you are different. The glory and wealth of the Marquis's Mansion in this life have nothing to do with you."
Although Han Nian'an's tone and expression were full of confidence, there was still a hint of worry in her eyes. During this period of time, she often thought of the scene when she saw Jiang Suining sending Qin back home at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion.
Jiang Suining married into a marquis's mansion in her previous life and lived such a good life. She didn't believe that Jiang Suining had never thought of marrying into a marquis's mansion again in this life. She needed to find a way to completely eliminate this possibility.
Thinking of this, Han Nian'an glanced at the invitation, and then said to Jiang Suining as if to do her a favor: "Since we are sisters after all, I will give you a chance to enter the Marquis' Mansion again, and you can attend the wedding banquet."
Jiang Suining's eyes fell on the wedding invitation, and he smiled playfully, "Are you really sure that day will be your wedding banquet?"
"What do you mean?" Han Nian'an frowned.
"What I mean is, if I were you, I would take back the wedding invitation right now, so that you don't end up being laughed at when the wedding banquet is called a wedding banquet but you are not the main character at all."
Taking a concubine is not the same as marrying a wife. Most families just carry a sedan chair in from the back door. Although the Marquis's Mansion is not an ordinary family and Han Nian'an is the daughter of an official, it is reasonable to pay a little more attention to her.
In addition, according to the discussions in the imperial city, the Han family had "voluntarily" become concubines, so in order to demonstrate the kindness of the Marquis' Mansion, a wedding banquet was indeed necessary.
However, it is impossible for Qin to be unaware of the limits. The wedding banquet can be held, but she must not show any respect for Han Nian'an, a concubine, in front of so many guests. The colder the better. Otherwise, no noble family would be willing to marry their daughter to Zhou Yihong as his wife.
Han Nian'an looked at Jiang Suining coldly. She knew that Qin was doing it for the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion, but no matter what the reason was, the wedding banquet was held anyway. At least in the eyes of outsiders, she had saved face.
Even if Qin didn't treat her well that day, she didn't care, and she had to let Jiang Suining attend the banquet that day...
"Jiang Suining, you don't dare to go, do you? That's right, the mansion of the Marquis of Tian must be full of dignitaries. If you go, you will be laughed at."
Jiang Suining raised her eyebrows inwardly. It seemed that Han Nian'an really wanted to go there by himself. Was it just because he wanted to show off in front of her? Or... was there another reason?
A trace of thought flashed across Jiang Suining's brows, but he didn't speak immediately, but just continued to look at Han Nian'an.
Seeing that Jiang Suining did not respond, the latter showed a hint of anxiety and continued to provoke: "Jiang Suining, if you don't dare to go, just say so. It's normal for a small family to not be able to show up. I won't laugh at you."
Seeing the nervousness in Han Nian'an's expression clearly, Jiang Suining felt a little curious. Just when Han Nian'an was about to speak again, she smiled and said, "Who said I don't dare to go."
Han Nian'an was stunned. Although there was a hint of joy in her eyes, she suppressed it very well and still maintained a suspicious and provocative look.
Jiang Suining looked at the other person, and then smiled, "Since you have come to deliver the wedding invitation in person, then I will naturally go. You are right. After all, we are sisters. You have worked so hard to successfully become someone's concubine. How can I miss this great day?"
