The news that Wen Xinya was invited to attend the banquet for a wealthy man spread throughout the capital city like wings. Of course, it also attracted the attention of many people. After all, apart from Wen Xinya's identity as the heir of the Wen family, Wen Xinya was Mr. Mo's granddaughter.
In the past, Wen Xinya was a little gangster hanging out on the streets. After returning to the Wen family, she has been following her grandfather, learning music, chess, calligraphy and painting. During this period, she has changed a lot. Both her inner cultivation and outer temperament are obvious to everyone in the circle. The name of Mr. Mo is naturally beyond doubt, but everyone wants to know more whether Wen Xinya is also a talented woman as rumored in the Beijing circle recently!
The news spread so quickly that she wouldn't have believed it if Xia Ruya and Lin Yingxin hadn't fanned the flames.
These two people, one for personal grudge, the other for fame and fortune.
Only when this matter is made known to everyone will more people pay attention to it, and when they achieve their goal, they will get more.
Wen Xinya was very disgusted by such despicable means.
Mr. Wen put down the blue and white porcelain bowl in his hand and said: "The Qianjin Banquet is a well-known elegant event in the capital. Although it is not well-known, every woman who stands out at the Qianjin Banquet has an excellent future."
To put it bluntly, although the banquet for a wealthy woman is elegant, it cannot escape the ancient customs. Those who are usually kept in the boudoir and never go out to see people, when they reach the age of marriage, will be brought out by the mistress of the house to participate in various grand events, to show their talents, to publicize their reputation, and to secure a good life for themselves in the future.
Although Qianjin Banquet itself may not have such an idea, the aristocratic families in the capital city could not resist the secret attention to Qianjin Banquet. An outstanding woman would naturally receive more attention, and more attention would naturally change the meaning. What's more, the women who could participate in Qianjin Banquet all had strong family backgrounds. Even if they were a little weaker, they would have the reputation of being from a scholarly family, which would make people look up to them.
Wen Xinya nodded and said, "With a reputation for talent, it won't be that bad."
Otherwise, Lin Yingxin wouldn't have gone to such lengths to scheme.
Old Master Wen gave her a strange look. Apparently... she didn't understand the deep meaning of his words: "As far as I know, Zhishan Yahui's Chairman Tang Xiaowei and Vice Chairman Zhou Huiyan were both famous talented women at the Qianjin Banquet."
Then, Mr. Wen mentioned the names of several well-known ladies in the upper class, and also briefly described their backgrounds.
Wen Xinya suddenly understood that the future her grandfather was talking about was not the same as that future. She thought about it carefully and understood the situation: "Famous families are very careful in choosing daughters-in-law, and they are very selective. Girls from scholarly families are deeply influenced by books and etiquette since childhood. Whether they are virtuous or talented, they are much better than girls from ordinary families, so they become the best choice for everyone."
In addition, Aunt Tang and Aunt Zhou, who had stood out at the Thousand Gold Banquet, both became upper-class people with both talent and virtue, and fame and fortune. Therefore, everyone attached more and more importance to the Thousand Gold Banquet. Naturally, the women who participated in the Thousand Gold Banquet would receive more attention, and the women who stood out would receive even more attention. These talented, virtuous and famous women became the best choices for the upper-class society to choose a daughter-in-law.
Over time, the banquet worth a thousand gold coins changed.
Lin Yingxin, this is actually the real plan.
The more talented and famous you are, the better you will marry in the future, the higher your position will be, and the more fame, wealth, honor and glory you will enjoy.
There are only two turning points in a woman's life: one is that knowledge changes destiny, and the other is that getting married changes fate. No wonder Lin Yingxin is so busy calculating.
It matters a lifetime, so everyone would give it a try.
However, although she agreed with her approach, she did not approve of it because her methods were too despicable.
Old Master Wen laughed, "That's the truth. So, Xinya, you have to be careful. Nowadays, women who are proud of their talent will not attend the banquet. Only women who really want something will attend such a party. If there is something to ask for, then there will be desire in the heart. With desire, there will be the courage to go all out. Sometimes... they will even do whatever it takes. So, that place is not a clean place."
Therefore, when he learned that Xinya was going to attend the Qianjin Banquet, he was quite surprised. However, thinking about the rumors in the capital that were unfavorable to Xinya during this period, he guessed Xinya's thoughts, so he also supported her.
I didn't know about Qian Jinyan before, but now that I know, Wen Xinya is even more alert: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will handle it carefully."
She never dares to look down on any woman. Women's methods are beyond your imagination. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many popular palace fighting dramas nowadays.
Mr. Wen was not really worried about her, but was afraid that she didn't know the rules and would get into trouble: "I have collected some information about the recent Qianjin Banquets. If you have time, you can take a look at it. It would be good to understand the rules."
The information he collected was very comprehensive, including information about the participants, the performances at the banquet, and so on.
Wen Xinya took the information handed over by her grandfather and was very grateful: "Thank you, Grandpa."
Tomorrow is the Qianjin Banquet. She did collect some information about the Qianjin Banquet today to learn more about it.
Old Master Wen smiled and said, "Don't be too nervous. Your grandpa taught you the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although you have only studied for more than three years, these three years are equivalent to thirty years for others."
Since ancient times, there is a saying that one good teacher is better than ten years of hard study. Xinya has Mo Gong's guidance, so she has a high starting point and almost no detours in her studies. When others are racking their brains over a fingering method, she only needs Mo Gong's guidance to be able to understand it clearly. This is the benefit of a good teacher.
Wen Xinya smiled and agreed, then changed the subject and asked, "Grandpa, how is the entertainment city project going?"
Grandpa's goal is to regain control of Wen's Group. With Grandpa in charge, she is not worried. She is most concerned about the entertainment city project.
Mr. Wen said, "The entertainment city project has officially started, and the land has been allocated. I did not deliberately obstruct it, but secretly, I caused a lot of obstacles to the project. The current speed of the entertainment city project is within our expectations."
Wen Haowen led the entertainment city project and did not allow him to interfere, not even the group's board of directors. Even Ning Shuqian took the initiative to resign from the position of director of the group's board of directors. The group and the entertainment city projects were completely separate, and apart from funding, there was no other involvement.
This was also within his calculations.
Wen Xinya laughed: "Grandpa is really amazing. He grasped the overall situation and controlled the situation so quickly."
