The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1377

Chapter 1377: Chapter 1137, What Bad Intentions Could Young Lord Gu Have? 8

Although Mr. Tang very much wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Duke Residence, regarding this matter, the Tang Family could only passively wait. Ever since returning from Taohua Mountain, he had been hoping the Crown Princess Consort would send another invitation to the Tang Family.

Unfortunately, it never came.

When he learned that several female relatives of officials from the provincial city were invited to Taohua Mountain as guests, Mr. Tang was disappointed. The Crown Princess Consort continued to review candidates, making it clear that neither daughter caught the young marquis’s eye.

Thus, Mr. Tang stopped hoping excessively and began to focus intently on his official duties.

Time shifted to the end of April.

"Madam, Taohua Mountain has sent gifts for the Dragon Boat Festival!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Tang and Tang Zijin, who were busy with accounts, both looked up simultaneously.

Madam Tang put down the account book, "Why are you still standing there? Invite them in quickly."

Soon, the servants who came to deliver the gifts were led into the house. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

This time, Taohua Mountain not only sent Dragon Boat Festival gifts to the Tang Family but also extended an invitation.

The nanny who came to deliver the gifts smiled and said, "Our Princess Consort returned to Taohua Mountain a few days ago. Upon learning that Madam Tang and Miss Tang had arrived in Zhongzhou, she specially wants to invite you over for a gathering."

Madam Tang, delighted, said, "The Princess Consort is back?!"

The Princess Consort of Weiyuan, though a noble first-rank Princess Consort, was never pretentious and handled matters fairly and rationally. Since becoming an official’s wife, she hadn’t met many people, but she admired the Princess Consort of Weiyuan the most.

When they were in Xiliang, because her daughter had the fortune of being a playmate to the young marquis and the princess, she visited the Prince Residence a bit more frequently than most. Ignoring their statuses, she and the Princess Consort shared a semblance of friendship.

Now that the Princess Consort has returned to Taohua Mountain, being able to see an old acquaintance again genuinely pleased her.

Beside her, Tang Zijin was also full of joy. As a child, the Princess Consort treated her very well, especially enjoying inviting her to have dumplings.

Afterwards, Madam Tang chatted for a while with the nanny who delivered gifts and personally escorted her to the Chuihua Gate.

Upon returning to the main courtyard, Tang Zixin, having heard the news, was already waiting there.

"Mother, is it true that the Princess Consort has invited us to Taohua Mountain?"

Seeing Tang Zixin’s impatience in enquiring about the invitation, even forgetting manners, Madam Tang smiled albeit not correcting her mistake, and nodded, "Yes, you also go prepare. In a couple of days, you’ll accompany me to Taohua Mountain."

Receiving a positive response, Tang Zixin was elated, "I’ll go tell Grandmother right away." With that, she dashed out of the room.

The butler’s nanny watched and, observing Madam Tang’s expression, smiled and said, "The eldest girl is two years older than the second, yet she’s far less composed than the second young lady."

Madam Tang let out a scoff, "Mother-in-law and my husband worry because Zixin lost her birth mother and fear I’m harsh or punitive to her. They overly indulge this girl, not realizing that spoiling a girl too much harms her!"

"In her own home, it’s okay; her family will humor her. But once she’s married, who will indulge her whims?"

"Let’s wait and see. For years, she’s subjected Zijin to grievances both overt and covert. Once she’s married, I wonder how my mother-in-law and husband will continue to spoil her?"

...

Three days later, Madam Tang, with Tang Zixin and Tang Zijin dressed anew, boarded the ship bound for Taohua Mountain once more.

Along the way, Madam Tang noticed many other vessels heading to Taohua Mountain as well, and promptly understood that the Princess Consort had invited not only the Tang Family but other families as well.

Madam Tang glanced at her daughters, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately said nothing to them.

So be it—the young marquis is indeed excellent, but her daughter is gentle-natured; to push her to compete and vie would only be difficult for her.

Now that her husband held the rank of second-rank official, she could undoubtedly find a good family for her daughter to marry.

Approaching Taohua Mountain, before even disembarking, Tang Zijin could already see silhouettes flitting about on the mountain, groups of graceful young ladies enjoying themselves in the company of one another.
