Wu Xinrou looked at Cao Suixin aggrievedly, tears still hanging on her face: "Xiangjun, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said so much. I won't talk nonsense in the future."
Cao Suixin was confused: "Why are you crying? I just asked your name."
Wu Xinrou was even more frightened: "My name is Wu Xinrou, Xiangjun, I was really wrong, please don't ask my name and then retaliate against me secretly, okay?"
Pfft~ Everyone was speechless. This Wu Xinrou must be a fool. Tong Ruyan's eyes flashed and she looked at Wu Xinrou: "Do you know Xiangjun?"
Wu Xinrou shook her head: "No, I don't know him."
Tong Ruyan frowned, "I don't know him. Why do you think Xiangjun would secretly retaliate against you? In your eyes, is Xiangjun so bad? Or do you have another enemy? You deliberately said this today to make people misunderstand. If you get into trouble in the future, others will think of Xiangjun. You want Xiangjun to protect you, so you want to rely on Xiangjun, right?"
Wu Xinrou's pupils widened: "No, I really don't."
When everyone heard Tong Ruyan's words, they also came to their senses. How could a person who was really timid dare to say these words in front of the township lord? It was simply hilarious.
Everyone looked at Wu Xinrou with a strange look in their eyes. This girl who liked to whimper was really annoying.
Mrs. Wu quickly said, "No, that's not the case. My Xinrou has just arrived in Kyoto, how could she have offended others? You misunderstood. My Xinrou is really timid."
Cao Suixin laughed and said, "You are so timid. You dare to criticize Benxiang Jun when he is talking to my sister-in-law. Is this called cowardice?"
Yes, when everyone thought about it, that's what it meant. Cao Suixin rolled his eyes and said, "You know, Hongo-kun has always had very good luck. If someone dares to plot against Hongo-kun, Hongo-kun doesn't even have to do it himself, he will be in trouble."
Everyone thought about it and realized that it was true. Even the Yuan sisters had plotted against Cao Suixin, but in the end they got Cao Suixin the title of county lord and the entire Yuanhou Mansion was imprisoned.
As a result, everyone looked at Wu Xinrou with some sympathy. Why did he have to mess with this darling of God
Wu Xinrou's tears were still on her face! Then Cao Suixin waved his hand and said, "Okay, take care of your daughter. Hongxiang Jun will not have anything to do with her!"
Mrs. Wu could only pull Wu Xinrou aside. Others could still hear Mrs. Wu scolding Wu Xinrou: "What's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you? I'm bringing you here today to see what's new. Just follow me and don't talk nonsense. I'm just going to the toilet for a short while, and you're causing trouble for me..."
Wu Xinrou was scolded by Mrs. Wu and started to cry again. Mrs. Wu was also very angry. This Wu Xinrou only caused troubles and kept crying when she caused troubles. If it wasn't for her brother's face, she really wanted to kick her out of the house early.
Cao Suixin glanced at Wu Xinrou who was still crying, and rubbed his temples irritably: "It's really annoying. I wanted to watch the fun, but I ended up becoming the one who caused the fun."
When Tong Ruyan heard this, she didn't know what to say for a moment. At this moment, Wan Xiangxiang suddenly appeared: "Everyone, are you interested in participating in the poetry competition? Anyway, we have nothing to do."
When Cao Suixin saw Wan Xiangxiang, he was stunned for a moment. Wan Xinxin was standing next to Wan Xiangxiang. He couldn't help but waved at Wan Xinxin. Of course, Wan Xinxin saw Cao Suixin.
He turned around and said something to Wan Xiangxiang, then walked towards Cao Suixin: "Hello, my dear. I didn't expect you to attend the banquet at the Yuanhou Mansion."
The last time I asked him, Cao Suixin said he couldn't come. Cao Suixin rolled his eyes and said, "I'm bored. I just want to join in the fun."
Afraid that he was here to slap her in the face, Wan Xinxin suppressed the thought in her mind: "So that's how it is, then why don't we go over and join in the fun. There's a garden next door with a nice view, and everyone is in the pavilion over there!"
Actually, this is just a small garden. Most of the elders are here, while more young people are in the big garden next door.
The large garden was also divided into two parts, one for receiving young ladies and the other for receiving young gentlemen, separated only by a wall and a door.
Cao Suixin had just come here to take a look, but when he heard that there were more interesting things going on over there, he immediately said that he wanted to go: "Let's go over there and take a look. By the way, sister-in-law, this is Wan Xinxin, a friend of the princess and I. Xinxin, this is sister-in-law Ruyan, you can just call her sister-in-law."
Tong Ruyan smiled at Wan Xinxin: "Hello, Miss Wan."
Wan Xinxin blinked her eyes. She hadn't been to the palace in the past few days, but she knew that there were new people living in the palace. She smiled and said, "Hello, sister-in-law. Beibei and I have a very good relationship. Their sister-in-law is my sister-in-law."
Cao Suixin laughed and said, "Let's go and join in the fun. By the way, why is Wan Xiangxiang here?"
Wan Xinxin shook her head: "I don't know, I met her when I came here just now, I don't know why she came here! It seems like she came here to play."
During the last election, everyone thought that Wan Xiangxiang would at least be able to become a noble in the palace, but who knew that this guy would lose the election and go home.
After returning home, he has not appeared since then. Now he suddenly appears and comes to the banquet at Marquis Yuan’s Mansion. It is really strange.
The group walked towards the yard next door and saw several large pavilions. Dry ice was prepared inside the pavilions. The hot weather evaporated the ice, creating a hazy mist, and it felt like they were surrounded by fairy air.
"This is a good and cool idea. Who is the author of this? I didn't expect that there is really an expert in the Yuanhou Mansion."
Wan Xiangxiang waved at Cao Suixin: "Would you like to come and play, too? We are going to have a competition. We are tired of writing poems and lyrics, so this time we will compete in calligraphy! Let's see who writes the best. Why don't we all write a poem we like? I'm sure Miss Yuan Xiangxiang has already asked someone to prepare the pen and ink."
Yuan Xiangxiang was so angry. Today was supposed to be her home day. No matter what the event was, she should be the host, right? What the hell was this Wan Xiangxiang
After being rejected by the emperor, she didn't stay at home, but ran to the Yuanhou Mansion to make the decision. What was going on? He even specifically ordered her to do something, which made her so angry.
But he still had to smile and walked forward: "I'm ready. Do you want to participate too, Mr. Xiang?"
Before Cao Suixin could say anything, Wan Xiangxiang spoke first: "Of course I will participate. All guests who come today can participate. Remember to leave your signature. Okay, let's get started. You have prepared enough pens, ink, paper and inkstone, right? You should be able to provide these things for the great Yuan Hou Mansion."
Yuan Xiangxiang smiled awkwardly: "Enough, these are all enough, then let's get started."
Looking at Yuan Xiangxiang turning around and leaving, I knew that she had not prepared much at all. She was going to prepare again.
Cao Suixin looked at Wan Xiangxiang: "Aunt Xiangxiang, did you come here on purpose to steal her limelight?"
Wan Xiangxiang smiled and touched Cao Sui's heart: "It's okay. If the banquet at Marquis Yuan's Mansion goes too smoothly, someone will be unhappy. Anyway, I'm free recently! I found out some interesting things."
As she spoke, Wan Xiangxiang looked at Tong Ruyan, her eyes were somewhat unfathomable. Tong Ruyan felt a little flustered: "Is there something wrong with me?"
Cao Suixin just remembered that she hadn’t introduced them yet: “Aunt Xiangxiang, this is Second Senior Sister’s eldest sister-in-law, Tong Ruyan. Sister-in-law, this is my Junior Sister’s cousin. Um, she’s not very old, but she’s older than me.”
Wan Xiangxiang tapped Cao Suixin on the head and said, "Your name is Ruyan, right? I'll call you by your name, and you call me Xiangxiang. We can call each other by our own names. Don't worry about them."
Tong Ruyan also smiled: "Okay."
She was relieved. She felt a little awkward calling a girl younger than herself "Auntie". Especially since they didn't have a particularly close relationship or blood relationship.
"Your husband is a very outstanding person. He has been remembered as soon as he arrived."
As soon as Wan Xiangxiang finished speaking, Cao Suixin spoke up: "Yeah, you heard what I said just now, the Yuan sisters are really shameless."
After saying this, he was hit on the head again. Cao Suixin looked at Wan Xiangxiang and said, "Aunt Xiangxiang, you are hitting me like a fool."
Wan Xiangxiang laughed: "If there is, just understand it yourself, how can you say it out loud, you are ignorant. On the contrary, it is enough for Ruyan to know it in his heart."
Tong Ruyan smiled and nodded: "Thank you for the reminder, I understand."
Cao Suixin looked at Tong Ruyan and said, "Sister-in-law, let me tell you, what my aunt Xiangxiang says is absolutely true. You must believe it and pay attention."
Yuan Xiangxiang came over again and began to pass out the pens, inkstones, and papers to everyone: "Just write the poems you like."
After distributing all the papers, he finally took a few sheets of paper and went to Wan Xiangxiang and the others with Yuan Qinqin, and put the papers in front of Wan Xiangxiang.
"Miss Wan, the rest are yours. But for this competition, there must be a prize. Our mansion can offer a prize for the first place winner. I wonder what kind of prizes the participants can offer?"
Wan Xiangxiang raised her eyebrows: "Why? Does everyone who participate have to put up a prize?"
The others also looked over here, a little surprised, but also normal. If you want to participate in the competition, it is normal to offer something as a prize.
"It's natural. We're all participating. There's no need to be too expensive with prizes. Bracelets, jade hairpins, and the like are all fine. We just want to have fun. I don't think you have any objections, do you?"
Yuan Qinqin also spoke up at this time: "Yes, the prize is like that, that's what it means, there won't be anyone who can't come up with it, right?"
