I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Chapter 252 Anzhou's First Lady

Ji Xiaobei glanced at the fat servant. He seemed to have gained weight again after not seeing him for a few months.

The food at the Ruo family was really good. Somehow, she remembered the rough meals served in the Ruo family’s exquisite bowls and plates.

Ji Xiaobei followed Ruo Xiaolian into the house, and Ruo Xiaolian asked her to sit in the front hall.

Ask a little maid to go to the backyard and invite the lady over.

After a while, Jiaojiao, with a big belly, came quickly, with two little maids beside her protecting her closely.

"Sister!"

Before I saw anyone, I heard a crisp shout of surprise.

Ji Xiaobei quickly stood up, walked towards the door, and supported Jiaojiao, who was a little fat.

"Sister, why didn't you inform me in advance so I could send someone to pick you up!"

Jiaojiao pouted and said angrily.

"You are not feeling well, I am not afraid that you will be anxious and excited!"

Ji Xiaobei helped her sit down.

Jiaojiao was sweating as she walked, and the maid took a handkerchief to wipe her sweat.

"Well, you two can chat first, I'm going to get busy now!"

If Xiaolian said so with a smile, he would go out.

"Wait a minute, I haven't seen you for a whole day. My sister is here, what are you going to do?"

Jiaojiao called out to Ruo Xiaolian.

Ruo Xiaolian said with a flattering smile, "I am going to the accounting office to find Mr. Fang and check the accounts with him."

"That's fine, let's get down to business!" Jiaojiao glared at him with a smile.

Ruo Xiaolian walked away with a smile on his face.

The two women comforted each other and caressed each other's bellies, feeling that time passed so quickly and several months had passed in the blink of an eye.

Ji Xiaobei looked at Jiaojiao's plump cheeks, big lively eyes, and gorgeous clothes, and suddenly remembered the bamboo figurine of Jiaojiao, a kind-hearted person, woven by his grandfather in his previous life.

They are quite similar.

Seeing Ji Xiaobei staring at her, Jiaojiao asked hurriedly, "What's wrong, sister? I have something on my mouth. I was just eating fruit with a few sisters."

Ji Xiaobei laughed and said, "I think the girl looks better than last time, so the baby in her belly must be not making a fuss anymore."

"It's okay, it's okay, sister, come with me to the backyard and meet some women from Anzhou. I'll introduce them to you."

Ji Xiaobei looked down at his clothes, shook his head and said, "I was in a hurry today, so I won't go to the backyard. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

She was not afraid that the ladies would look down on her, but she was afraid that with her attire and calling herself a delicate elder sister, others would look down on her.

No matter how rich a merchant's wife is, she cannot compare to the wife of a minor official.

She was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble to Jiaojiao.

Seeing that Ji Xiaobei looked a bit tired, Jiaojiao did not insist and just said that it was her birthday in a few days and these people would come over and she would introduce them to her then.

Ji Xiaobei nodded, took out a lotus aromatherapy bottle from his sleeve and placed it on the table.

"Last time I saw the girl burning incense in her room, I brought you a small aromatherapy bottle..."

Jiaojiao stared at it curiously. There was a delicate lotus on the transparent hexagonal glass base.

"It's so beautiful, but where should I put the incense?" Jiaojiao asked in confusion, blinking her eyes.

Ji Xiaobei pressed the round button on the base, and immediately a fragrance came out.

Jiaojiao took a breath and said happily: "This is the scent of bergamot!"

"Yes, I smelled this scent last time I went to the girl's room, so I brought her a bottle this time..."

Jiaojiao was touched, her face slightly blushed and she said, "Thank you, sister! I couldn't sleep well at night, and I slept better after smelling this scent. Sister, you are so thoughtful."

Jiaojiao was still puzzled and asked: "Sister, where is the fragrance? How does the smell come from?"

"It's right here. The craftsman extracted the essential oil and put it in the base. Press the switch to open the seal, and you can naturally smell the fragrance!"

"Ah! So magical!"

……

Because Jiaojiao had a guest, Ji Xiaobei chatted for a few more words and then stood up to leave.

At this time, a burst of laughter came from outside the door: "Sister Jiaojiao, your house is really big. From the backyard to the front yard, through the corridor, and through the small hall, my legs are sore from walking..."

Jiaojiao walked out quickly and said with a smile: "Mrs. Liang, come in quickly..."

A pair of plump big feet wearing embroidered shoes stepped in, looked up and saw Ji Xiaobei, a hint of surprise flashed across her face: "Madam Ru, you have a guest, I'm so sorry to bother you..."

"Mrs. Liang, please don't disturb me. Come in and let me introduce you to my elder sister, Ji Xiaobei."

Jiaojiao said to Wu Menglou with a smile.

"Sister, this is the wife of our Anzhou Governor Liang, Madam Liang!"

Wu Menglou was short, and he looked at Ji Xiaobei's chest at eye level. He raised his head and looked at her, and a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Jiaojiao, I haven't heard that you have a sister..."

"Ah, Madam Liang, please come and sit down. This is Xiaolian's distant relative. He just arrived in Anzhou and came to see me."

Ji Xiaobei also looked at the first lady of Anzhou. How should I put it? She looked like a big white worm wrapped in silk.

Her bloated body was left with several flesh marks by the clothes, and her thick white neck was covered with sweat. The two little maids behind her kept fanning her with fans.

Ji Xiaobei bowed and said, "Hello, Madam Liang!"

She drooped her eyelids, threw the handkerchief in her hand and said, "Why is it so hot today?"

Jiaojiao looked at Ji Xiaobei embarrassedly.

Ji Xiaobei replied to her: It doesn't matter! You are busy, I will leave first.

Ji Xiaobei said to Jiaojiao: "Jiaojiao, you go ahead and do your work. I have something to do and I'm leaving first!"

"Sister...Qingzhu, go see Sister off!"

Jiaojiao hurriedly greeted Qingzhu beside her.

Mrs. Liang sat on the stool brought by the maid. Her eyes were immediately attracted by the incense on the table and her eyes widened.

Ji Xiaobei: It turns out that her eyes are not small, but she can’t open them because there is too much flesh.

She tried hard not to laugh.

"Sister, please take this aromatherapy back quickly. It's too expensive. I can't accept it!"

Jiaojiao quietly pulled Ji Xiaobei's sleeve and glanced at Mrs. Liang who was wiping her sweat.

Ji Xiaobei had already seen the crystal bracelet on Mrs. Liang's wrist, which was what she sold to Ruo's Silver Shop.

She immediately understood what Jiaojiao meant.

"Okay, then I'll keep it for you first!"

As Ji Xiaobei said this, he put the aromatherapy into his sleeve.

"Hey, Jiaojiao girl, what is this? It's so beautiful!"

When Mrs. Liang saw Ji Xiaobei collecting things from the table, she asked repeatedly.

Mrs. Liang was a frequent customer of the Ruo family's silver shop and her favorite were the glass bracelets supplied by Ji Xiaobei.

The Ruo family was eager to establish a relationship with Mrs. Liang, so they gave her one.

After wearing it for a few days, she said she didn't like it anymore and went to the jewelry store to exchange it for another one, but how could Jiaojiao take it back?

I had no choice but to give her another one, and now she is wearing the latest model.

But what I fear most is the greedy people who get excited when they see good things...
