Chapter 102 The Zhang family went north to rely on relatives and friends
Except for when she was taken away for feeding and washing, she was with Xiang all the other time. Maybe it was because of the bond between mother and daughter, but the child could always sleep soundly every time she was with her mother.

Sometimes it's one hour, sometimes it's two hours.

Xiang couldn't get enough of seeing her every day, and because she got up too frequently, she was "taught a lesson" by her mother-in-law.

"You, it's most important to take care of yourself. If you continue to neglect your health, the child will be sent to my hospital for care. You just gave birth, you should lie down more, otherwise how can your body bear it?"

Then she started to lecture him, but Xiang knew that her mother-in-law was doing it for her own good, so she just smiled and said it.

"I know. My daughter-in-law just needs to lie down. Youyi is my lifeblood. If my mother-in-law takes her away, I won't be able to sit still during this confinement period!"

Hearing this, Madam Pei could only chuckle and shake her head. Then she and her daughter-in-law looked at the child in the cradle, their eyes full of love.

"It's only been a few days, but she looks bigger than when she was just born. I hope she can reach 100 days soon, so that she can pass this stage and grow up safely."

"Yes, but with so many of us loving her, I believe Youyi will know. Look at her little face, she has gained some weight."

When she said this, Pei's love for her granddaughter was almost overflowing, and then she mentioned something.

"This reminds me of how Ah Nian looked when he first arrived at the mansion. He was also a little thin, but look how well he has been raised now."

Xiang also believed that her daughter would grow up blessed by gods and Buddhas, so she patted the child gently and soon began to sing a lulling song. Little Youyi lay there, surrounded by familiar smells. After sticking out her tongue slightly, she fell into a deep sleep again.

At the same time, people were coming in and out of the Xijing city gate.

There were three or four carriages with a lot of luggage on the back. It was obvious that the whole family was moving. Some curious people even went up to ask if they needed help. But the people inside asked: How do I get to Luoying Lane?
After the man gave simple directions, the driver nodded and left.

After a while, he realized that there were several officials and wealthy businessmen of all sizes living in Luoying Lane, and he didn't know which family this relative had chosen.

At the gate of Jiang Mansion, the three or four carriages stopped.

The gatekeeper was a little puzzled. He had never heard of anyone coming to the house in broad daylight, so how could so many carriages suddenly appear? So he looked around curiously.

Unexpectedly, seven or eight people got off the carriage.

There were old and young, male and female. Their clothes didn't look fancy, but they looked very proud. I'd have thought they were showing off.

"You know what, my sister's uncle is really amazing. I originally thought that he was already a high-ranking official with a high salary as the prefectural chancellor in Xuzhou, but I didn't expect that he would have such an opportunity to be promoted here. We are really lucky to have been promoted!"

The person who spoke was an older middle-aged man with a goatee and shrewd eyes. If you look closely, he looks about 60% similar to Second Aunt Zhang. He is Zhang's eldest brother, Zhang Xingchun.

The person he was supporting was his mother, Old Madam Zhang.

She looked about the same age as Madam Jiang, but she had a more hypocritical smile than Madam Jiang. She looked kind, but in fact, she was no less calculating than Madam Zhang. So, when she heard her son say this, her eyes rolled and she spoke.

"Otherwise why do you say your sister loves us? Now that Jin'er has married into the prince's palace, we are also the prince's consort's family. They live a comfortable life in Xijing City, so they wanted me to bring Mengniang here to enjoy the good life. Once she gets married to the eldest young master of the Jiang family, it will be natural for us to live in this house!" She said this with such confidence, and Zhang Yunmeng, who was supporting her, had a slightly blush on her face.

She had just turned sixteen, and when she was in Xuzhou, many families wanted to come and meet her. She originally wanted to pick the one with the best conditions and marry him, but who knew that her aunt would write to her and ask her to marry the eldest son of the Jiang family!

This was the eldest son of the Zongzheng family, and it was said that he also had a maternal grandfather from the Marquisate. How could such a good marriage be delayed? Therefore, the Zhang family simply sold their home and all their businesses, packed up their luggage and headed north.

Look, it has been delayed until today.

You must take a good wash later and get rid of your fatigue first!
After saying that, old lady Zhang asked her eldest son Zhang Xingchun to go to the door and call someone out to greet them. Zhang Xingchun walked up to the door without any hesitation and was about to knock. When he saw him, the gatekeeper of the Jiang family couldn't hold back his excitement.

After sending off the second lady, her family members came. It seemed that something big was really going to happen at home, so he immediately sent someone inside to report. This time, he was smart and sent someone directly to Huaixinyuan to question the master.

In Huaixin Courtyard.

Jiang Shiyuan had just finished his meal with him. Jiang Shishu and Aunt Yang were also there. This time she came back to discuss something.

"Youyi's condition has gradually improved, so my grandmother asked me to come back to thank Aunt Yang. But you are still too young now. When the 100th day is celebrated, I will definitely invite you to our house for a banquet."

Aunt Yang was a little nervous. She always felt that she had done nothing and did not deserve such kindness from everyone. But the eldest girl's words were still lingering in her ears, so the words of refusal were on the tip of her tongue but she held back and just said one sentence.

"Thank you for your concern, old lady. I will make some soft underwear for Miss Youyi in the next few days. It is better to prepare more underwear for the child."

She knew that the Wenyuan Marquis Mansion would not be short of such a few pieces of clothing, but the problem was that the only thing she could show off was her embroidery skills, so it was normal for her to say this, but suddenly she seemed to remember something and added another sentence.

"Don't worry, young lady. It won't delay the progress of your wedding dress."

Jiang Shishu also nodded and said.

"My aunt and I are almost done with the embroidery. I estimate that it will be ready for Big Sister to try on before the end of the month."

The progress was so fast that one could tell at a glance that the mother and daughter had put in a lot of effort. Jiang Shiyuan had been staying in Marquis Wenyuan's Mansion these days and had almost forgotten about this matter. When it was suddenly brought up, he spoke with gratitude on his face.

"I'm sorry to trouble Third Sister, and Auntie too."

"What are you talking about, young lady? We are a family, and this is what we should do."

Aunt Yang could feel Jiang Shiyuan's care for her and her daughter, so she gradually became less restrained when speaking in front of her. The four of them were having a great time together, but soon the report from the servant at the door made her head buzz and she was caught off guard.

"Why did Zhang's family suddenly come?"

As far as I know, haven't they always lived in Xuzhou? Why did they come here suddenly?
