Chen Ya gently pulled her sister and whispered, "Sister, the general's wife is so beautiful."
Chen Xiu naturally understood what her sister meant. She gently patted the back of her sister's hand without saying anything.
She remembered what her grandfather had told them yesterday: "If the general's wife is of average appearance, there are probably many daughters in Liuzhou waiting to take her place. You and Aya are both too outstanding. When you go to the general's mansion tomorrow, remember to hide your shortcomings and don't show off casually, otherwise you will get into trouble."
She couldn't help but want to laugh. Her grandfather really thought too highly of his granddaughters. Just looking at the looks of the sisters, they were far inferior to the two maids behind the general's wife.
Today, at the banquet, the two maids serving behind Wei Yang were the maids that the Empress had just bestowed upon her. They wished her good luck and good luck. Today was different from usual, so Nanny Li specifically asked Wei Yang to bring these two maids with her. After all, they grew up in the palace, so their rules and etiquette were always better than those of the two maids, Kong Gu and Xiao Cao, who were by the Empress' side.
Wei Yang listened to what Li Ma said. She ordered Konggu to manage the banquet, Xiaocao and Xiaohua to manage the kitchen. Ruyi and Jixiang accompanied her to the banquet, and the other five maids were also assigned their own tasks.
"If I didn't know that your sister was the general's wife, I would have thought she was a fairy from somewhere down to earth." Mrs. Gao San's shrill voice was the first to sound.
Wei Yang just nodded and smiled, but didn't say anything. Instead, a lady next to Madam Gao San couldn't help but laugh and said, "Madam Gao San, you called me sister so much that Madam Yan didn't dare to reply to you."
At that moment, the ladies nearby all covered their lips and laughed. Madam Gao San did not feel shy and said casually: "General Yan is always older than my husband. In this sense, it is not wrong to call Madam Yan "sister". It also makes me look younger."
I have seen people with thick skin, but I have rarely seen someone as thick-skinned as Mrs. Gao San. Wei Yang became interested in her and specially invited her over to talk to her before chatting with other ladies.
Mrs. Gao was even more proud now, and murmured to herself, "I will not bathe or wash my face for three days when I return. I feel like I have become a fairy just by being able to talk to Mrs. Yan for a few words."
This flattery is really shameless to the extreme, and the people around him can't refute it.
Chen Xiu led Chen Ya to greet Wei Yang. When they were about to leave, Chen Ya couldn't help but ask, "Madam Yan, why don't you put the precious chrysanthemums separately from the ordinary ones?"
Chen Xiu couldn't stop her, so she could only explain: "My ancestor particularly liked chrysanthemums, so Fourth Sister said this. Madam, please don't blame me."
Wei Yang smiled and asked, "It is precious or not because it is rare, not because it is more noble than other chrysanthemums. No matter how precious it is, it is praised by everyone. If no one praises it, it is just a pot of chrysanthemums."
Chen Ya didn't understand, but her face changed slightly. She hurriedly dragged her sister to bow and retreat.
Wei Yang spoke nonchalantly, but the expressions of several ladies sitting nearby changed.
General Yan’s wife, what do you mean by saying this
With a "bang", a pot of handsome flag was overturned to the ground, and the gray-green branches mixed with purple-red petals were broken in the soil, making a mess.
The head of the Chen family, Master Chen, laughed coldly: "Haha, you are so arrogant. When did it become the turn of a little girl who has not even reached the age of marriage to point fingers at Dafeng?"
