However, no matter how Xie Ruyue scolded Xie Ruzhuo, she only smiled and didn't even say a word in rebuttal.
Seeing her like this, Xie Ruyue became even more angry and snorted, "I thought you understood things earlier because you were so sensible, but in the end you are still a fool. Then Mr. Lu has a very dirty mind. Sooner or later, Teach you to be a fool who doesn’t know right from wrong!”
"Don't they just want to see a stupid and domineering Xie Ruzhuo? How difficult is it to satisfy them?"
When Xie Ruyue's rapid-fire voice finally stopped, Xie Ruzhuo smiled with an unknown meaning and said Shi Shiran.
Xie Ruyue didn't expect Xie Ruzhuo to say such words, and was stunned for a moment. Only then did she realize the meaning of her words.
But despite this, she was also a little depressed, and she hesitated for a while before saying, "I'm just worrying about it." She talked about her feelings for a long time. She already had an opinion in her heart, but she had been worrying about it for a long time. .
When Xie Ruzhuo saw her like this, he immediately smiled and said, "How could that be? You are my eldest sister. If you don't worry about me, who else will care about me?"
"Go away, stop trying to please me." Xie Ruyue rolled her eyes at her and pushed her arm away as if disgusted, but there was still a bit of a smile on her face. My sister knows this, which is a good thing after all.
The annual Thousand Gold Banquet is scheduled at the end of the year.
The Daughter's Banquet, as the name suggests, is a banquet held for the daughters of major nobles in the capital. It is hosted by the royal family and is chosen in the twelfth lunar month when the winter plum blossoms are in full bloom. At that time, the plum blossoms will be in full bloom in the garden, and ladies will walk among them to appreciate the plum blossoms and discuss their talents, which is an elegant thing. Therefore, the ladies from all the families are proud to get invitations to the daughter's banquet.
What makes these ladies flock to it even more is the essence of this golden feast, which is a veritable banquet for seeing each other. At that time, not only will the handsome men of the major families gather, but the emperor will also come to sit down. If someone can take the lead, it may not be impossible to fly on a branch and become a phoenix.
As the Xie family is one of the most famous families in the capital, the invitations for this daughter's banquet were naturally sent to the Xie family in the first batch. Along with the invitation, there was also a reward from Concubine Ye.
When the exquisite set of hair, face and clothes were displayed in front of everyone, Mr. Lu suddenly became greedy. The second lady, Mrs. Li, tried her best to suppress the sourness in her heart, but she still couldn't help but said, "Concubine Ye really values our Zhuo'er very much. With such carefully prepared clothes and appearance, I'm afraid she will only be as good as this to the Seventh Princess." Are you on board?"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of others looking at Xie Ruzhuo suddenly changed. Concubine Ye naturally only has one daughter, but who in the country doesn't know that the third prince was raised under her knees? For Concubine Ye to value her so much, apart from her biological daughter, she is probably the only one left with her daughter-in-law!
Xie Ruzhuo ignored everyone's looks, thanked the young eunuch, and ordered Hongrui to give him a reward, saying, "My father-in-law, you have worked hard all the way, please have some tea."
The little eunuch who came to deliver the gift smiled more and more, and said, "The imperial concubine has said that she hopes this outfit can be the icing on the cake and make Miss Xie even more beautiful at the daughter's banquet."
"Excuse me, father-in-law, please thank the imperial concubine for your kindness." After Xie Ruzhuo finished speaking, seeing that the young eunuch wanted to leave, he ordered Jiang Zhuhaosheng to send him out.
As soon as the young eunuch left, Mrs. Liu immediately said sourly, "She is indeed the legitimate daughter, but the treatment is different. It's just that my family, Ruyin, doesn't have a mother with a strong status and background."
Xie Ruyue couldn't bear to see her like this the most, and immediately retorted, "Aunt Liu said this, does she think the Xie family has mistreated the sixth sister? The reward from the imperial concubine is true, but our Xie family went out of their way to give the girls a banquet of gold. I have selected a batch of the best materials from Jinxiu Cloth Store to make clothes. Apart from other things, even when choosing the materials for clothes, I let Sixth Sister choose my own after finishing the selection."
Liu Shi did this a lot. Jinxiu Cloth Village is an industry under the name of Jiang Guogong, and is managed by Sister Xie Ruzhuo's uncle. After Aunt Ye selected the best pieces of cloth, she took out a piece of cloth from her collection, thinking of making it for the two sisters alone. A set of clothes. Unexpectedly, Ms. Liu saw it that day and talked to the old lady for a long time. Xie Ruyue was so annoyed that she gave up her half of the cloth and left it to Xie Ruyin, while she chose a set of light pink material. .
Hearing this, Ms. Liu suddenly smiled and said, "That's true. I just said it casually. Don't mind Yue'er."
Xie Ruyue was too lazy to argue with her. She snorted and turned to talk to Mr. Qiao again.
It happened that the embroiderer from Jinxiu Cloth Shop came to the door and brought all the clothes of various daughters in the house.
Liu's eyes immediately lit up when she saw Xie Ruyue's clothes. The light pink palace clothes were embroidered with blossoming white plum blossoms, making the snowy scene outside the door even more eye-catching.
Looking at Xie Ruyin's suit again, although the material is of high quality, because Xie Ruyin insisted on embroidering the phoenix on it, the bright red and dazzling gold, such rich ink colors, seemed a bit weird.
"Oh, as soon as I saw this suit, I could imagine Yue'er's style in it. Look, this phoenix suits you so well. The plum blossoms are a bit plain, but I think they match Ruyin just right. Yue'er, you What do you think?" With these words, it was obvious that he wanted the two of them to change clothes.
Xie Ruyue smiled coldly and said, "What Aunt Liu said is strange. Why do I need you to point out my clothes?"
"Yue'er, you misunderstood me. I mean, you two sisters should change your clothes so that they fit more closely." Ms. Liu put away the displeasure on her face and acted like I am doing everything for you. .
Xie Ruyue felt sick in her heart when she saw it, and didn't bother to argue with her. She just said angrily, "When I chose the ingredients, you picked them first. You robbed my ingredients and exchanged the things you didn't want with me. That's all, I am the eldest sister and I don't care about the younger sister, but now you have to change back again and act so capriciously, do you think everyone else has to give in to you!"
Mrs. Liu was used to having verbal fights. After hearing these words, she felt that her face was disgraced and she suddenly said angrily, "Yue'er, I chose clothes for you with good intentions, but you treated me like a fool with good intentions. Oh! I was thinking that you were of noble birth and would match the Phoenix. But Ruyin is young and the Phoenix is not suitable for her, so I asked you sisters to exchange clothes. You are so rude, it really makes me sad!"
"Hey, what my aunt said, those who don't know how wronged you are would think you have been wronged a lot. If you choose clothes for me, then I have to ask you, are you my biological mother Jiang, or my stepmother Qiao? Do you have me? Mother is here, when will it be your turn to worry about my affairs!"
Xie Ruyue had a hot temper and was unwilling to speak to others. After a few words, Ms. Liu blushed and was so depressed that she couldn't say a word.
Seeing this, Xie Ruyin was so busy that she tugged on Xie Ruyue's sleeves and said with tears in her eyes, "Sister, don't quarrel with me. My mother's health is not good."
"Your mother is not in good health. You should go back to the house and rest. Don't come out to take advantage of others!" Xie Ruyue had always disliked her pretentious face. When she heard Xie Ruyin speak, she immediately lost her face. .
"Xie Ruyue, don't go too far!" Mrs. Liu saw her daughter being yelled at, so she pulled Xie Ruyin over and said angrily.
"Okay, what's there to argue about?" Seeing that the two of them were getting more and more outrageous, Ms. Qiao immediately protected Xie Ruyue behind her and said to Ms. Liu, "The two children are not very similar in stature. Now that the clothes are ready, don't change them. Aunt Liu, you are an adult, so let the children take care of it. If outsiders know about it, it will be a small thing to laugh at, but it will not be good if it affects Ruyin's marriage. "
Hearing this, Ms. Liu choked, but she was suppressed by these words and had no choice but to give up. After all, this is true. Her family, Ruyin, was originally born from a concubine. If she added that her biological mother was mean, it would indeed affect Ruyin's marriage.
However, Mrs. Qiao couldn't swallow this breath. She rolled her eyebrows and took Xie Ruzhuo's idea without giving up.
"Since Yue'er doesn't want to trade with Ruyin, then forget it. After all, we are not the ones to rob you. Zhuo'er, you already have the clothes given by the imperial concubine today. Look at the workmanship and the jewelry. They are really priceless. "Liu Shi changed his target and aimed at Xie Ruzhuo.
Xie Ruzhuo, who was drinking tea at the side, didn't even look at her. He still held the cup as if he was thinking about something.
Seeing that the other party didn't respond, Ms. Liu continued, "The imperial concubine has given you clothes, so you must wear them for the daughter's banquet. So, aren't you useless for the clothes that the embroiderer gave you today? Can you wear them for Ruyin?" Okay?" After saying that, Madam Liu directed Xie Ruyin to rub against Xie Ruzhuo with her eyes.
Although Xie Rufei also envied Xie Ruzhuo's clothes, she looked down upon Xie Ruyin's appearance at this moment. However, just as she was about to speak for Xie Ruzhuo, Mrs. Li violently pulled her clothes off.
Xie Rufei turned around a little aggrievedly, and saw Li glaring at her in warning. She was startled and had to lower her head to pretend to look at her clothes. On the other hand, the eldest sister Xie Ruyun kept staring in Xie Ruzhuo's direction, wondering what she was thinking.
"Fourth sister, you must have orchid grass embroidered on your clothes. It's really a very nice mood." After Xie Ruyin expressed her love implicitly, she looked at Xie Ruzhuo eagerly.
In the previous life, many of Xie Ruzhuo's good things were taken away like this. She didn't plan to give it today, but Xie Ruzhuo was trying hard to recall some things and was too lazy to argue with her. So he said casually, "Since Sixth Sister likes it, let's take it."
There was always something in Xie Ruzhuo's heart that he couldn't figure out. How did Shen Jingci do what happened at the Qianjin Banquet in the previous life
She was thinking hard to find a solution, but unexpectedly she heard Xie Ruyue beside her ear get angry and say, "This material was sent here by my aunt after she selected it. Are you just giving it to me so casually? Besides, let's talk about it." The Xie family is not short of clothes, so I want you to use the things from your mother’s family to show your dignity. Xie Ruzhuo, you don’t feel embarrassed either!”
Xie Ruzhuo was suddenly brought back to his senses by Xie Ruyue. When he saw her angry look, he immediately admitted his mistake and said, "I was wrong. Sister, don't be angry. I didn't think it through properly. I just won't give it away."
The smile on Xie Ruyin's face froze before it was fully revealed. When he heard Xie Ruzhuo's words, he immediately curled up his lips and said, about to cry, "Fourth sister, didn't you say you wanted to send me off?"
"Sixth sister, I did not consider this matter well. Our Xie family is not too poor to afford clothes. If I gave you clothes like this, if you didn't know better, you would have thought that Third Aunt was abusing you and not giving it to you. Nice clothes to wear!”
Xie Ruzhuo spoke sincerely, and after he finished speaking, he glanced at the third lady, Mrs. Lu, guiltily.
