Jiang Qingxue suddenly asked her: "So you got the invitation?"
"I got it. Bilan gave it to me when I went back with my fifth sister last night. But what exactly is the Hundred Flowers Banquet?" She asked Ning'er yesterday, and Ning'er naturally didn't know much about her previous status.
The old lady seemed to be recalling the past and said with emotion: "The Hundred Flowers Banquet... is a good festival for you young people. They say that men are afraid of getting into the wrong profession and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. This Hundred Flowers Banquet is a good way to help you recommend yourself." Opportunity. Take advantage of it.”
Wu Sheyue couldn't understand how there could be such a festival. Could it be a blind date conference plus a job application conference
Wu Lixiang interrupted proudly: "Third sister, you don't know this? The Hundred Flowers Banquet is during the season when flowers are in full bloom, to celebrate the God's blessing and good weather. It is hosted by the Queen Mother every year. At that time, the princes and ladies of the palace and ministers will Everyone needs to participate, so you have to prepare gifts to express your feelings and prepare a program to show off yourself. Maybe you will get a good marriage or be attracted by a noble person. "
The way Wu Lixiang talked so eloquently, it was obvious that she had done enough homework. Speaking of which, she had been thinking about the Hundred Flowers Banquet a few years ago, but now she was well prepared and just shy of a blockbuster.
But Wu Sheyue said to her heart, generally speaking, it is a blind date conference plus a job application conference.
The old lady turned to Jiang Qingxue and said, "Qingxue, it's the first time for Yue'er and Xiang'er to attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet. You have to teach them well."
"Yes, I understand."
Wu Sheyue asked: "Does the second sister also want to participate?"
Jiang Qingxue smiled and said, "She went with Liu Yun once last year and knows what to do."
Wu Sheyue suddenly thought that since every girl in the Prime Minister's Mansion was taught and prepared by Jiang Qingxue before going to the Hundred Flowers Banquet, it was strange that they could compare to Wu Liuyun. If nothing else, Wu Jinghua's results at the Hundred Flowers Banquet last year were absolutely mediocre and featureless. At most, I am neither praised nor scolded.
She thought like this and glanced at Wu Lixiang, who was full of expectations. She wondered what Wu Lixiang could be led by Jiang Qingxue.
Everyone sat with the old lady for a while, then got up and left. The old lady specially asked three maids to follow Ning Shuang, who looked very nervous. At that time, Wu Sheyue was very thin when she first appeared in Qunxingzhai, but the old lady didn't send any maids. This shows how much the old lady likes her grandson.

Wu Sheyue was the last to leave Qunxing Zhai. She was at the entrance of the courtyard, silently watching the aunts leave.
Ning'er quietly walked up to her and whispered: "Miss, I've already asked about everything."
"Well, let's go." She said and walked back first.
On the road, Ning'er walked beside her and whispered: "Yesterday, someone saw Bai Lian secretly going to the eldest lady's place, and she came out after a while. But there was no movement after she returned to our west courtyard. I don't know what they said yet. .”
Since Wu Sheyue became more powerful, the place where she spends most generously is not on purchasing props and materials, but on rewarding servants and maids. At least one-third of the money she spent was distributed to servants who had some contact with her.
Whether it is modern society or ancient society, it is absolutely true that money can be used to get things done.
Wu Sheyue nodded, which was expected, "What about today?"
"I asked Sisi to keep an eye on her today, but she hasn't done anything yet."
"Let's go, let's take the initiative this time." Wu Sheyue smiled.
Ever since she came here, she has been busy with her own little things. It was always the other party who bullied her, and she started to fight back. Then this time, she should take the initiative to do something.
After Wu Sheyue returned, she stayed in the house and tinkered with her own things.
In the afternoon, the Taoist priest invited by Aunt Meng herself also arrived. The old lady met the Taoist priest at Qunxingzhai. Wu Sheyue was busy with her handiwork and pretended not to know about it.
However, Aunt Zhao, who had always kept a low profile and never went out, actually took the initiative to go there this time, so Wu Yin'er naturally wanted to accompany her.
Since ancient times, making sacrifices to heaven has been a major event. Later, Wu Sheyue heard that the old lady attached great importance to it, and asked people to prepare a nice yard for the Taoist priest to rest. He also asked the boys to arrange the ceremony according to the Taoist priest's requirements and spend a lot of money to go there. Purchasing supplies was in full swing throughout the whole house.
—
In the evening, Ning'er knocked on the door and entered the house, only to see Wu Sheyue still busy. She leaned over and said, "Miss, Bai Lian just went out again."
Finally out again? Wu Sheyue put down the thread in her hand, thought for a moment and asked, "Where are you going? Is it Xiaoyuxuan?"
Ning'er nodded repeatedly, "Yes, we are keeping a close eye on you. Don't worry, Miss."
"I will finish it soon. Those who are following you should put more money and seal their mouths. Don't let up. I will go to the practice tomorrow, and you don't have to follow me."
Ning'er said worriedly: "Then if something happens, will we be criticized?"
"It's okay, I have a plan." Wu Sheyue was a little worried.
—
At midnight the next day, it was already bright. The stage for the practice has already been set up, and all kinds of items have been placed on the stage.
Because of such a big event, Wu Hantian didn't go out today. He, the old lady, and Jiang Qingxue sat on the chairs under the table and waited silently for the auspicious moment.
Several aunts and ladies were standing behind the chairs. Today, the only newcomer, Ning Shuang, is not there. It is said that the old lady and Wu Hantian were afraid that Ning Shuang would be frightened, so they told her to rest in the room.
The grounded Wu Jinghua was released again. She was much thinner than before, she didn't look so bad-tempered, and she looked weak. His whole figure became slim and tight, and he was no longer as voluptuous as before.
Meng Ruxue stared at the empty stage, as if eager to start catching ghosts right away. Wu Jinghua stood quietly next to Meng Ruxue, occasionally glancing sideways at Wu Sheyue.
Wu Sheyue also noticed that Wu Jinghua immediately looked away when their eyes met once or twice, and looked a little scared.
The sky is cloudy and windy today, and I don't know if it's because of the psychological effect. This kind of weather makes many people in the house a little nervous.
After all, the house has not been completely peaceful during this period. There have been more rumors in the past month than in the previous years combined.
Especially... many people began to secretly look at Wu Sheyue.
This third young lady is now in the limelight. Ever since she recovered from her illness, various legendary events about her have continued to appear, directly overshadowing the eldest young lady Wu Liuyun.
But such a magical person has been accused by Aunt Meng and Second Miss in recent days of being a monster...
But seeing the second lady's dazed look that day, it was hard for anyone to say anything. (To be continued)
