Xie Yingrong was desperately trying to show herself.

Although Xie Mulin gave her advice, she still felt that it was better not to smear herself too much in front of the Wan family. After all, Wanjia is a Hou Mansion, even if Mrs. Wan doesn't like concubines, it is impossible for Wanlong to marry a daughter-in-law who is too unseemly, so basic etiquette knowledge or something is still needed. She focused on highlighting her poetic talent, and wanted to concave the character of a "talented girl". She knew that the old princes in the capital didn't care much about the so-called talents of the girls, and regarded them as just a means to add to the cake, and paid more attention to the girls' upbringing and the ability to be the directors of the house. If she shows that she is a lady who is not very familiar with general affairs but is very poetic, she must be able to satisfy Mrs. Wan, right?

It sounds like the image of a future daughter-in-law who can't live a good life.

Therefore, Xie Yingrong mentioned in front of the Wanjia sisters that when Cao Shuqing was still in charge of the Cao family, the ladies of the Xie family interacted with the dignitaries and dignitaries in Beijing, such as those banquets, poetry meetings, flower parties, tea parties, etc. Although Xie Yingrong was still young, she had followed Cao's mother and daughter in and out of many high-ranking families, and met many boudoir daughters, but few people took her seriously. But at that time, she also made a few "like-minded" friends, including a talented girl with a small reputation. Even if these friends didn't talk to Xie Yingrong after the Xie family's accident, she can now use them to make a conversation. And because one of the "talented girls" is in-law with the Marquis of Pyeongchang, and she is still the cousin of the girls of the Wan family, in Xie Yingrong's opinion, she is very suitable to be a tool to bring the relationship between the two sides closer.

Unexpectedly, Miss Wan smiled and said nothing, Miss Wan Si pouted, and said: "It turned out to be her, she wrote a few sour poems when she was a child, and she got the name of a so-called talented woman in front of the elders, so she didn't take our sisters seriously." But when you're older, who cares about that? Writing poetry is not suitable for eating or wearing, but it is just a pastime. After she got married, she followed her mother-in-law to learn housekeeping, but she couldn't do anything, so her mother-in-law was disgusted like something, and the sisters of her own family also had no face. My aunt has taught my sisters a lesson about this several times, telling us not to learn from her! ”

Xie Yingrong choked for a while before squeezing out a smile again: "After I left the capital, I haven't heard about that sister for a long time, so she is already married?" Very good, very good. "Trying to obfuscate the past.

Miss Wan didn't plan to let Xie Yingrong go like this. Although she knew that this girl was a little inappropriate, she felt uncomfortable when she heard the other party mention what banquets she had attended in the past. Although Wanjia is the Hou Mansion, not every time there is a banquet in the dignitaries in Beijing, they all participate in the three rooms. In fact, due to the bad reputation of his mother, Mrs. Wan, when others post to Wanjia, most of them will skip the third room. Only relatives and friends who have a better relationship will count their mother and daughter. Talking about it carefully, I'm afraid that Xie Yingrong has been to more banquets than their sisters. It is unreasonable that a mere concubine can pose in front of their sisters, the daughters of the two serious marquises! Now that she has taken Xie Yingrong's handle, of course Miss Wan is not happy to let her go through like this.

Miss Wan turned to Xie Yinghui and Xie Mulin, and said slowly: "Actually, we boudoir women shouldn't be too careful about small things like poetry on weekdays, but we should focus on textile needles and chisels." That's what it's our girls' job to do. Although reading books can be reasonable, reading too many books can also easily make people change their temperament. ”

Xie Mulin smiled and didn't speak, he only felt that he was speechless, but he was not interested in arguing with Miss Wanda. is not a person all the way, and she doesn't interact much on weekdays, what is she bothering to do?

Xie Yinghui's eyes were a little complicated when she looked at Miss Wan. She remembered her former self, and followed her biological mother Cao Shuqing, didn't she learn the so-called principles and rules of the stomach? But what about the facts? After she returned to Xie's house, she read more books and learned more truths in the women's school, but she became more and more aware in her heart, no matter what big or small things she encountered, she could have her own thinking, instead of stupidly following the instigation of others as before.

It can be seen that reading is useful.

Her biological mother, Cao Shuqing, pursued the principles of the boudoir of the Wan family, so she obviously had her own wishes and ideas, but she was still at the mercy of others in this life, and then made mistakes again and again, harming others and herself...... Whether she is good at reading or not, Xie Yinghui feels that she has a conclusion in her heart, but she can't explain it to Miss Wanda, just as she can't explain it to her mother Cao Shuqing.

Xie Yingfen was silent. She is now playing the image of a docile and silent little girl, she only needs to follow behind her sisters and shout, and she doesn't need to show her face. The sisters didn't say anything, what could she say? What is there to justify following a stranger?

Therefore, no one spoke for Xie Yingrong, Xie Yingrong could only maintain a stiff smile, desperately thinking about how to answer. In the end, Miss Wan Si couldn't stand the strange silent atmosphere, and took the initiative to turn the topic to the popular fashion in the capital in the autumn and winter of this year, so as to save Xie Yingrong from the embarrassing situation.

Xie Yingrong desperately followed the tone of Miss Wansi, discussing the autumn and winter fashion she knew. All she knew was what she heard when she went to Bian's house to meet Miss Bian, and she chewed it over and over again, and Miss Wan Si quickly got bored of it, and felt that she didn't know much about the affairs of Beijing, but it was too hypocritical to pretend to be an expert. If you don't know anything, or only know a little bit, can't you honestly ask yourself, a true expert?!

Miss Wan Si stared at Xie Yingrong's gaze with more and more disdain, Xie Yingrong noticed it, and she didn't understand where she said the wrong thing, but she became more and more nervous, and a lot of sweat broke out on her forehead. It was Xie Mulin who opened his mouth, smiled and asked Miss Wansi kindly about what has been popular in the capital recently, what are the latest news, etc., so that Xie Yingrong can be rescued.

In fact, the Wanjia sisters know very little about the news in Beijing, except for the fat powder jewelry, clothing styles and embroideries that the Wansi girls care about, which is the gossip among relatives and friends. But it is impossible for the girls of the Wan family to reveal these things to the Xie family sisters who are not yet familiar with them. Therefore, there is only one useful piece of information that Xie Mulin can finally hear.

It is said that Lin Zhaoyi wanted to fight for the position of heir of Yan Wangfu for the second prince, but was pressed down by the emperor. Among the Lin family's henchmen, there are only those who have survived, probably on the order of Lin Zhaoyi, who is unwilling to give up, and asked the emperor to discuss the matter of the heir of the step-prince to the Yan Wangfu as the heir, and was scolded by the emperor in court.

Lin Zhaoyi's plan failed to come true, but the ownership of the heir of King Yan's Mansion once again became a topic of conversation in the court.
