The autumn banquet is getting closer and closer, and the attitude of the people of Dongjiang towards the Xu sisters is also changing day by day.

Xu Si went to the palace for a few days in a row, and every time the princess was hospitable, the prince even picked him up in person.

A close family member came into the palace to greet him, and when he heard the princess talk about Miss Xu, they were full of praise. Ingenious, docile and courteous...... There is nothing bad about it.

When the news came out, those families who were watching handed over invitations to the post house and invited the brothers and sisters of the Xu family to enjoy flowers, poetry meetings, and wine.

For a time, the Xu family brothers and sisters became hot figures in Dongjiang, and everyone was proud to invite them to the banquet.

……

"This autumn banquet has not been held yet, it seems that the candidate for the princess has been decided!" At a noble lady's daily party, someone sighed, "Our family is okay, there are no girls of the right age, and those who have some families have made them busy in vain." ”

Another lady who knew her well smiled, "Isn't it? In order to participate in the autumn banquet, he began to prepare clothes and jewelry a few months ago, and the tailors and goldsmiths in Jiangdu were very busy, and even the prices of silk and jewelry had risen. ”

"It can only be said that it is fate. Who told them not to be as beautiful as Miss Xu? ”

Speaking of this, some people were indignant: "The princess is the future princess, and she should be dignified and courteous, and this appearance is also worth talking about?" The prince is young and muse, but it is reasonable to say, how can the princess also indulge? ”

"That's not what I said." The lady next to her retorted, "The princess said it herself, Miss Xu is knowledgeable and polite, gentle and demure, but she didn't mention anything about her appearance. ”

"Hehe, that's just a scene." The man didn't take it seriously at all, and said, "Gentle and demure, comparable to Miss Tong Er?" Her family has been a great Confucian for generations, and her daughter's upbringing is famous, not only in Dongjiang, but also in Beijing. Besides, knowing books and etiquette, it is impossible to be better than Miss Wei Si, she has a talent when she is a child, and the poems she writes have been praised by many people, known as the Pearl of the Dongjiang River, but Miss Xu, how can there be any poems handed down? ”

That's right. Whether you are really talented or not, you will know when you come out with your work. Miss Wei Si is real, but Miss Xu has no evidence at all.

The previous lady sighed and said, "That's what I said, but this is not the top score, the most important husband and child of a woman, who said that if you learn well, you must choose whom?" ”

The other had something to do with the Wei family, and said coldly: "That's not what I said. The prince is different from others, the prince lingers on the sickbed, and the Dongjiang River is almost in his hands. He doesn't have an uncle to help him, his sons are young, and the prince has not yet weakened the crown, so he has to take on such a responsibility, how can the princess he wants to marry have no talent? Moreover, if you have no talent, how can you teach your husband and children, and one generation of housemothers will influence three generations of children and grandchildren, don't people like us know this truth? ”

These words were aggressive, and the noble lady was speechless, and finally a familiar one came out to play a round: "Okay, I know that you are unhappy for the Wei family, but the palace has the consideration of the palace, and in the end, the prince still has to nod, so you can't say that the prince is not good?" ”

At this point, the lady also admitted: "Yes! I'm just unhappy for the four girls of the Wei family, obviously better than others everywhere, but I was robbed by Miss Xu who came out of nowhere, if it is someone else, regardless of which of you, then you all know the roots, this Xu family...... Oh, it's not even a family. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came: "Cousin, thank you for lifting up the four girls in my family, but don't say this kind of thing." ”

When everyone heard the sound, they looked up and saw several noble ladies coming from behind, led by the second lady Wei, the mother of Miss Wei Si.

The lady from before got up and greeted her, "Cousin." ”

Second Lady Wei smiled and nodded, sat down under the courtesy of the ladies, and then said, "You can afford to look down on the four girls of my family, I thank you here." It's just that the four girls in my family don't care about it, so there is no need to mention it. ”

These words aroused the curiosity of the ladies, and some people praised: "Miss Wei Si is really broad-minded, I heard someone gossip about her before, and I pinched a cold sweat for her, but I didn't expect her to think about it herself." ”

Second Mrs. Wei smiled: "It's not that you want to open it." This autumn banquet has not yet been held, and no one knows who the princess is. The four girls in my family only went to make up the number because of the order of the prince, and they didn't think that they would be the princesses. There are so many ladies in Jiangdu, and it's not that there are no better than her, who said it must be her? She didn't think so herself. Now that Miss Xu is here, she also said in private, I heard that Miss Xu is beautiful and has such a beautiful woman, and the prince must be comforted, which is also a great joy for us Jiangdu. ”

Hearing her say this, everyone praised her.

"Miss Wei Si is really beautiful and kind."

"The second lady teaches well!"

"I was worried about you before, but I didn't expect this girl to be more open-minded than me, and she was ashamed!"

Second Mrs. Wei said modestly: "It's over, it's over." But my four girls are indeed old, if you have the right candidate, you have to say it! ”

"Yes, whoever marries Miss Wei Si will be a great blessing."

In the praise, the matter passed like this.

Within a few days, these words circulated in Jiangdu, how Miss Wei Si said it, and all the people she heard praised it, which was called Hui Zhilanxin.

……

When these words reached the post house, Xu Yin smiled: "Sure enough, it's the Wei family, they are the best at building momentum." ”

If it weren't for the Wei family spreading rumors everywhere in their previous life, why would their sisters' reputation be so bad?

However, at that time, Wei Si was the princess, but their sisters were sent to the king of Dongjiang to play with them, so they could only let her play with them. This time it's different, Wei Si should also suffer the consequences!
