Mrs. Wu is a human spirit, and when she saw Yan Yan say the words "no virtue, no conscience, no rudeness, no talent", a trace of doubt flashed in her heart, and when she saw Yan Yan say what "other people's evaluation of the younger generation" was, she saw a trace of unease flashing on Mrs. Lu's face, so she guessed that this must be related to the Lu family.

And the Lu family can say these words except for Lu Ming, but I am afraid that they will not be able to find a second person, how can she continue to say this?

Fortunately, at this time, a few more familiar ladies came in at the door, and Mrs. Wu smiled at Yan Yan, and was busy greeting others.

Seeing this, Mrs. Lu also sent some work to Yan Yan, and ordered her to take these teenage girls and new daughters-in-law to the back garden to go around, she thought that there were too many people in the house and it was too chaotic, and she was also afraid of the embarrassing situation that Fang Cai had just had.

Who knew that as soon as Yan Yan opened her mouth to greet someone, Zhou Wan stepped forward and grabbed her, "Sister-in-law, let's go to the second cousin's new house to have a look." ”

Although Yan Yan also wanted to see Yan Yu's dowry, she really didn't want to step into Lu Ming's courtyard, not to mention, she also had an identity, a pregnant woman.

"This can't work, I can't enter someone's new house now, in case something collides, it's not good for anyone."

"That's right, then we might as well go to your house for a while, you can't walk too far." Zhou Wan grabbed Yan Yan's arm and smiled at Yan Yan.

Yan Yan shook her head, but she also recognized her words, plus a few girls who were familiar with the original owner also followed suit, Yan Yan had to take people to her own place, and she also wanted to hear the gossip of these girls.

Back to Songshi Ju, Yan Yan saw that there were more people, and still took everyone into the study to go to the kang, because the number of people was too much, there were fifteen or sixteen, Yan Yan had to order Qinghe Qingmiao to put four kang tables on the kang, a long row, people sat on both sides, and there were a lot of refreshments and dried fruits on each kang table, some Qingyu went to the shop to get them, and there were also Qinghe Qingmiao freshly made, and those dried fruits were sent to her after the Queen Mother learned that she was pregnant.

With so many girls sitting together, at first, everyone was still a little restrained, because in addition to the girls from those big families, many of these people were relatives of the Zhu family and relatives of the Lu family, etc., not all of them were from top wealthy families, but also ordinary official families.

However, as soon as the topic opened, everyone gradually relaxed, especially with a girl like Zhou Wan, who was familiar with finding topics and did not praise high and low, so Yan Yan soon couldn't interject.

The topic of girls together is nothing more than gossip of their peers, whose girl is engaged, whose girl's dowry is rich, whose girl plays a good piano and writes a good poem and embroiders flowers with a good hand, etc.

Talking about the topic of today's bride Yan Yu, these girls still admire Yan Yu, saying that the poem she wrote at the Queen Mother's Clothes Festival last year is very beautiful and timeless, and the fan she embroidered is also good, no wonder she will win the Oiran and marry Lu Ming, a talented man with a reputation in the capital.

After saying this, someone booed, and then everyone realized that this topic was wrong, and they all looked at Yan Yan.

"It's okay, the article between me and Lu Shizi has already been turned over, and you said yours." Yan Yan responded.

The clever Zhou Wan hurriedly took the words, saying that Yan Yan's embroidery and painting skills are better, and the example she gave is Mingyuan Embroidery Village, Mingyuan Embroidery Village launched so many chic little things a year ago, and almost everyone in the capital knows about it, therefore, this topic quickly became popular, and some people even untied their purses and asked Yan Yan for advice on how to draw with the brocade chicken picture on it.

Yan Yan ordered Qinghe to take a charcoal pen and a few pieces of paper, and quickly drew a vivid golden chicken in front of everyone, a bit like a stick figure, not exactly, but also a sketch background.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Yan drew a koi fish at everyone's request, because someone also took out a koi sachet.

Zhou Wan saw it and asked Yan Yan to draw a butterfly for her, she wanted to embroider it on a handkerchief, and Yan Yan casually drew two butterflies that were spreading their wings and flying.

At this time, some people began to ask, asking her why she was so familiar with these animals, asking why she used charcoal to paint, asking why the koi she drew was so similar to the one Yan Yu gave to the Queen Mother, and so on.

Yan Yan explained one by one, charcoal painting is the best explanation, first, it is inconvenient for so many people to use brushes, for fear that they will accidentally throw out the ink and stain everyone's clothes; Second, she used charcoal to draw when embroidering, and over time, she became accustomed to using charcoal when drawing this small animal pattern.

As for why the koi fish she painted are similar to Yan Yu's, this is easy to explain, because they studied under the same gentleman.

And the reason why she is more familiar with these animals is because she has specially observed them, and the purpose is naturally to better transfer these things to her embroidery.

The girls present also had seen Yan Yu's paintings, and the evaluation given was that Yan Yan's paintings were more vivid, the lines were smooth and not rigid, and they were stronger than Yan Yu's.

As soon as she said this, Zhou Wan couldn't hold back, "Sister-in-law, this is strange, since you draw better than your sister, why can your sister get the top spot and you don't?" ”

"Sister Yan deliberately hid it in those years, she was a famous talented woman in the capital when she was young, but after her grandmother was gone, she changed her personality and didn't like this kind of limelight." The one who spoke was a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, it was Mrs. Wu's youngest daughter, Wu Yan, Yan Yan and her were not very acquainted, presumably the other party listened to what Lu Han or others said.

It's just that these words are a little out of place, and some of the people present are two or three years older, and they quickly associate this matter with Yan Yan's retreat.

Because people in the capital don't know that the son of the Lu family has always been good at dancing and writing, and he has participated in the gatherings of these families, which time he has not been out of the limelight, as long as his poems, characters, and paintings are circulated, someone will soon rob them.

At that time, they also discussed, but it was a pity that such a hereditary son of Zhenguo, who was a hereditary and all-round civil and military talent, actually wanted to marry an orphan who had no father and no mother and mediocre intelligence, who knew that Coco had an accident at Yan Yan's New Year's ceremony.

Speaking of which, it is not strange that he lost his honor in front of him and was dismissed, the strange thing is that Yan Yan, who died once, has changed back to the smart and clever he used to be, and the strange thing is that Lu Ming's new engagement partner is actually Yan Yu.

For this reason, in private, they also analyzed the deeper reasons behind this incident.

But analysis can be analyzed, these words cannot be easily said.

However, there is still a simple and straightforward personality, this Wu Yu is counted as one, Zhou Wan is counted as one, and the other is Xu Ruqing, the daughter of Xu Liangxing, the left minister.
