~ STIRRED UP THE TORRENT ~
Just as Mu Yunyao entered the hall, she heard Su Yuyi reciting a poem, “A set of rich and special makeup, lingering from spring to autumn . The solution turns the heavenly beauty for thousands of years and turns it into a nine-day yellow on earth . . . ”
“Yuyi is not only beautiful, but her knowledge is also unrivaled . Madam Meng, your blessing is really great!”
All the ladies in the hall surrounded Su Yuyi with endless praise . Mu Yunyao slowly walked in without attracting much attention . When Su Qing noticed her, she pulled her hand and said, “Yao’er …”
“Mother, are you hungry?” This banquet seemed to be very sumptuous, but there weren’t many things that could really be eaten . Moreover, if people eat one more mouthful in front of everyone’s eyes, they will be told that they are greedy secretly . My mother’s temperament was always being cautious, so even if she is suffering at this time, she has to bear it .
Su Qing shook her head . With a trace of apprehension in her eyes, she replied, “It’s nothing . I just heard that there seemed to be an important guest just now . ” She had already repeated Yao’er’s past life many times in her heart . Naturally, she knew that Jin Wang, who came here today, was Yao’er’s husband from her previous life . Although Yao’er only mentioned a few words vaguely, she clearly remembered the hatred in Yao’er’s eyes when she talked about that person .
Mu Yunyao smiled as she shook her head, “There is indeed such an esteemed guest, but he just left after seeing the ceremony . Mother, you don’t need to worry . ”
“That’s good . ” Su Qing was relieved to see that she could hide for a day . As a distinguished guest, he could not simply enter Su’s backyard . As long as she deliberately avoided him, she would never repeat the mistakes of her previous life .
However, Mu Yunyao slightly lowered her gaze and didn’t say anything . After experiencing so much in her previous life, she clearly knew in her heart that there were some things that she couldn’t avoid, no matter how much she tried . If escaping was helpful, then she would have buried herself in the dirt in her previous life to live safely to the end . It is hard to get away from the trick, and she had no choice but to be caught up in the torrential currents .
In this life, she would no longer choose to avoid it . Instead, she wanted to become the hand that stirred up the torrent . Although this might be difficult to escape, it was still better than being smashed into pieces by it .
“Little Sister Yunyao, I see that you’ve been sitting on the side the entire time, but don’t you think that the poem that Elder Sister Yuyi is reading is good?” Suddenly, Meng Yanran’s voice rang out, and the entire hall went quiet .
Muyunyao raised her head, and her eyes fell on her . Some people looked indifferent, while some sneered as they waited for the show . The smile on her face did not change . It was still as bright and beautiful as usual, and said, “Didn’t Miss Meng say before that I was born in the countryside, and I couldn’t even recognize a variety of chrysanthemums? And now you asked me about how was Elder Sister Yuyi’s poem? Wasn’t it all on purpose to humiliate me?”
The Eldest Madam’s eyebrows moved, and she felt a little resentful towards Meng Yanran . The reason she held this banquet today was to make Su Yuyi famous . However, she didn’t expect Meng Yanran to appear and directly use Yuyi as a raft to make things difficult for Mu Yunyao . Even if she wanted to revenge her for the slap, she shouldn’t be so disrespectful!
Meng Yanran bit her lower lip, raised her lips, and sneered . Anyway, she had already lost all her face at this time, so she didn’t care about losing it more . She merely couldn’t stand Mu Yunyao, who was clearly a countryside girl, so why was she sitting here with a light in her eyes? “Little Sister Yunyao, what are you thinking? You have such a small heart . The banquet today was set up to welcome you . Elder Sister Yuyi read the poem, and isn’t it normal to ask you about it?”
Mu Yunyao’s eyes flashed with a cold ray of light as she slowly stood up and walked the pot of chrysanthemum and golden hydrangea flower, which was placed in the hall . Her voice was neither slow nor slow, and she filled up Su Yuyi’s unrecited poem, “A set of rich and special makeup, lingering from spring to autumn . The solution turns the heavenly beauty for thousands of years and turns it into a nine-day yellow on earth . Condensed mist, proud and frosty, Dongli is just like Wuling Village . Sometimes drunken eyes secretly look at each other and mistake Tao Qian for Ruan Lang . ”
Her voice was clear and beautiful, making her seem even more gentle and beautiful when reciting the poem . In the blink of an eye, everyone’s attention was drawn over to her .
Su Yuyi lowered her eyes and smiled as she stepped forward to hold Mu Yunyao’s hand, “I never thought that Little Sister Yunyao would also know this poem . ”
Mu Yunyao smiled slightly: “I studied with my father for a few days and coincidentally read this poem . I quite liked the first few lines of the poem . I always thought that the sentence made people feel that they have a very different mood when reading it . AI also found that the last two lines seemed flat and reduced the momentum of the whole poem . When I told this to my father, he kept laughing, saying that I was still too young to understand and that when I can understand it in the future, e will be distressed . ”
That last sentence could be understood as a woman trapped by her feelings, and her drunken eyes mistook others for her own sweetheart . Mu Yunyao was still young, so it was reasonable for her to be unable to understand the feelings . Once she could understand it in the future, she would grow up to be married off . As a father, Mu Cheng naturally couldn’t bear to part with his own daughter and felt deeply distressed .
As the smile on Mu Yunyao’s face faded, she turned to a touch of forbearance and sadness . “I still don’t understand what’s so good about these last two lines . Father must be blessed by the heavens, and he maybe will laugh at me again . Look at me . When I mentioned Father, I can’t stop myself from crying . I am sorry to let the ladies and gentlemen laugh at me . ”
Some of the ladies could not help but open their mouths, “Sometimes drunken eyes secretly look at each other and mistake Tao Qian for Ruan Lang, isn’t this the same as thinking about the one whom they love? It was understandable that Miss Mu was still young and could not understand the situation . This Miss Yuyi . . . Now that I think about it, you should have reached the age of marriage negotiations, right?”
As soon as the words came out, a few chuckles could be heard from the surroundings . Sometimes drunken eyes secretly look at each other and mistake Tao Qian for Ruan Lang . Speaking of which, the Eldest Miss of the Su family had been coming of age . She had been raised in her boudoir for more than a year, yet they haven’t negotiated her marriage . I’m afraid she hates to marry now, right?
Su Yuyi’s face suddenly turned red, and the smile on her face could hardly be maintained .
The Eldest Madam quickly interrupted, “This golden hydrangea flower is so tender and can’t stand the smell of alcohol and tobacco the most . It’s better to move it out . This banquet’s purpose is to welcome Sister Su Qing and Niece Yunyao back to the Su family . In the future, they will often stay in the Capital, so I hope the ladies and young ladies will take good care of them . ”
Seeing that the Eldest Madam was unwilling to say too much, the people who came to watch the commotion felt somewhat regretful . However, since the Su family was flourishing right now, no one dared to disrespect them .
“Miss Mu, I’ve heard that the clothes made in Ni Yun Fang make people look like immortals . I wonder when we’ll have the chance to experience it too?”
“In the past two days, I’ve been sending people to look for shops . When the shops have been decorated, we can send embroiderer ladies over from Jingling City . When that time comes, I’ll invite the ladies and young ladies to enjoy the opening ceremony . ”
Many people’s eyes could not help but light up when they heard it . “Good, this is really great news . We don’t need to worry about not having clothes to wear in the future?” “However, I have heard that it is difficult to buy clothes from Ni Yun Fang . Sometimes, one might not even be able to buy them within a month or two . Miss Mu must take care of today’s affection and sell us two more pieces . ”
