Seeing that Shui Ningyan was showing off at the banquet, the eldest lady felt dissatisfied, but she still kept her expression on her face, but she thought: This girl was able to be appreciated by the prime minister within a day, it seems that I underestimated her before.

The second aunt is not as good-natured as the eldest lady, seeing her daughter sitting beside her, and she didn't get such a grand introduction from the prime minister, she felt aggrieved, she looked at the clothes on Shui Ningyan's body, frowned and said, "Although today's It's a family banquet, but at least the prince is present, why is Miss Fourth wearing such shabby clothes? I don't know, I thought that the prime minister's mansion is so poor that they can't afford even a decent dress."

Second Aunt has always been doted on by Prime Minister Shui, and she has no scruples in speaking, as soon as she said this, everyone present looked at Shui Ningyan.

But seeing her smile indifferently, Yingying got up and said to the second aunt: "There is an old saying: 'If the mountain is not high, it will be named if there are immortals. If the water is not deep, there will be dragons. It will be spirited. This is a shabby room, but I am virtuous. Moss marks on the steps Green, the color of the grass is green in the curtain. There are great Confucianists talking and laughing, but there are no white people in communication. You can tune the plain qin and read the golden scriptures. There is no sound of silk and bamboo messing with ears, and there is no labor of case books. Zhuge Lu in Nanyang, Ziyun Pavilion in Xishu. Confucius Yun : Why is it ugly?'”

Shui Ningyan blinked, ignored Second Aunt's pretty face that was getting darker and darker, and said with a smile: "Second Aunt, even Kong Shengren said the same, how can you say that I don't wear well, so you can discredit the Shui family? Woolen cloth?"

Second Yiniang was at a loss for words. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles. She snorted and turned her head to ignore her.I wondered in my heart: Why is Shui Ningyan's eloquence so good all of a sudden?

Seeing that the second aunt was deflated, the eldest lady smiled even more in her heart. She has always been in favor of embarrassing the second room.

She turned her head to look at Shui Ningyan, saw her sitting there dignifiedly, and said with a gentle smile: "Even so, Ningyan's clothes today are too plain. How many clothes are you still satisfied with?"

Shui Ningyan raised her eyebrows, she hadn't been back to the courtyard today, so she didn't know such a thing happened.Since the eldest lady said she gave her clothes in front of so many people, she just wanted to show the virtue of her mistress.

In this case, then I will climb along the pole and help her: "I received the clothes in the daytime, but I was delayed by some things and couldn't report to my mother. My daughter likes those clothes very much."

"As long as you like it." The eldest lady smiled and nodded to Shui Ningyan with a loving expression on her face.

The prime minister saw it at the side, and there was also a faint admiration in the eyes of the eldest lady.

But Baili Yuxi suddenly said at this moment: "It was originally a family banquet in the prime minister's mansion, but my lord stayed to bother me and didn't tell the people in the mansion. I can't blame Fourth Miss, and I hope everyone can't blame her."

Seeing this, the Prime Minister hurriedly said: "No problem, no problem, the Fourth Prince is honored to stay and have a meal, I'm so honored." As he spoke, he clapped his hands together twice, and said: "Sing and dance, to cheer up the Fourth Prince. "

During the singing and dancing banquet, there were staggered cups and cups. I don't know if this is a family banquet or if it is an excuse for communication.

Looking at the two people at the table toasting and laughing, Shui Ningyan showed a sarcastic smile on his face.

She didn't know if she noticed that someone was watching her, or whether it was intentional or not, Baili Yuxi looked at Shui Ningyan, and saw that the sarcasm on her lips had not dissipated, but she was not looking at herself, but drinking by herself, looking at ease.

After the singing and dancing, the eldest lady suggested that the ladies should show off their talents to the fourth prince, and the prime minister nodded in agreement.

Shui Ningyan suddenly understood in her heart that the family banquet was fake and the concubine selection was real.

In the last life, I was persecuted by Shui Yueting twice, so I didn't attend this banquet.At that time, Shui Yueting was also chosen as the concubine, but because the fourth prince was suddenly rejected by the emperor in the court, the Shui family married herself.
