The autumn feast is getting closer day by day, and the attitude of the people in Dongjiang towards the Xu sisters is also getting different day by day.

Xu Si went to the palace for several days. Every time, the princess entertained her warmly, and the prince personally picked her up and off.

Some of the family members who were close to her came to the palace to say hello, and when they heard the princess talk about Miss Xu, they were all full of praise for her cleverness, docility and courtesy... there was nothing bad about her.

When the news came out, the waiting families sent invitations to the post house one after another, inviting the Xu family brothers and sisters to enjoy flowers, have a poetry gathering, and have wine.

For a time, the Xu brothers and sisters became popular figures in Dongjiang, and everyone was proud to invite them to banquets.

…

"The autumn banquet hasn't been held yet, but it seems that the candidate for the Crown Princess has already been decided!" At a daily gathering of noble ladies, someone sighed, "Our family doesn't have any girls of the right age. Those families who do have

, but they have been busy in vain."

Another lady who was familiar with her smiled and said, "Isn't that right? In order to attend the autumn banquet, I started preparing clothes and jewelry several months ago. The tailors and goldsmiths in Jiangdu were so busy that even the prices of silk, satin and jewelry increased.

Oh, I didn’t expect that Cheng Yaojin showed up halfway, so all my efforts were in vain."

"It can only be said that it is fate. Who told them that they were not born as beautiful as Miss Xu?"

Speaking of this, some people were angry: "The crown prince is the future princess. She should be dignified and polite. This appearance is also worthy of discussion? It makes sense that the crown prince is admiring at a young age. How can the princess indulge in this?"

"That's not what you said." The lady next to her retorted, "The princess said it herself, Miss Xu is knowledgeable and polite, gentle and demure, but she didn't mention her appearance at all."

"Haha, this is just a talk." The man said without taking it seriously at all, "How gentle and quiet can you compare to Miss Tong Er? Her family has great scholars for generations, and her daughter's education is famous. Not only Dongjiang, but also the capital knows about it. Besides,

It is impossible to be better than Miss Wei Si in terms of knowledge of books and etiquette. She has been talented since she was a child, and her poems have been praised by many people. She is known as the Pearl of the East River, but Miss Xu, how has any poems been handed down to the world?"

This is true. Whether you are really talented can be seen through your works. Miss Wei Si is the real deal, but Miss Xu has no proof at all.

The lady from before sighed and said, "That's what I say, but this is not a test for the number one scholar. A woman is the most important husband and godson. Who said that the one who can learn well will definitely choose whom?"

The other one, who was somewhat related to the Wei family, said coldly: "That's not what you said. The prince is different from others. The prince lingers on the sick bed, and Dongjiang is almost handed over to him. He has no uncles to help him, and the young masters are young.

, the crown prince has to take on such responsibilities before he is crowned. How can the crown prince he wants to marry have no talent? Furthermore, if he has no talent himself, how can he support his husband and teach his children? One generation of mistress affects three generations of descendants. In a family like ours,

Don’t you know this truth?”

These words were aggressive and made the lady speechless. Finally, an acquaintance came out to smooth things over: "Okay, I know you are complaining about the Wei family, but the palace has considerations for the palace, and in the end, the palace still wants the prince's nod.

Can’t you say that the prince made a poor choice?”

At this point, the lady also admitted: "Yes! I am just aggrieved for the four girls of the Wei family. They are obviously better than others in every aspect, but they were snatched away by Miss Xu who came out of nowhere. If it is determined

It's someone else, no matter which of your families, they all know the roots of it, this Xu family...heh, it's not even an aristocratic family."

Just as he finished speaking, a voice came from behind: "Cousin, thank you for your support of my fourth girl, but you'd better not say such words."

Everyone looked up when they heard the sound and saw several noble ladies coming from behind. The leader was Mrs. Wei Er, the mother of Miss Wei Fourth.

The lady before stood up and greeted her: "Cousin."

Mrs. Wei Er smiled and nodded, sat down with the courtesy of all the ladies, and then said: "You think highly of my fourth girl, I would like to thank you very much. It's just that my fourth girl doesn't care about this matter, so there is no need to mention it more.

.”

These words aroused the curiosity of all the ladies, and one person praised: "Miss Wei Si is really broad-minded. I heard someone gossiping about her before, and I even broke out in a cold sweat for her. I didn't expect that she can think openly."

Mrs. Wei Er smiled and said: "It's not just a wild thought. The autumn banquet has not been held yet, and no one knows who the Crown Princess is. My four girls only went to collect the numbers because of the prince's order. It turns out that

She didn’t think she would definitely be the crown prince. There were so many ladies in Jiangdu, and it’s not like there were none who were better than her. Who said she would be the one? She didn’t think so. Now that Miss Xu is here, she said privately,

I heard that Miss Xu is stunningly beautiful. If the prince gets such a beautiful woman, the prince will definitely comfort her. This is also a great joy for us in Jiangdu."

After hearing what she said, everyone praised her.

"Miss Wei Si is really a kind-hearted person."

"Second Madam taught you well!"

"I was worried about you earlier, but I didn't expect this girl to be more open-minded than me. She feels ashamed of herself!"

Mrs. Wei Er said modestly: "Thank you, thank you. But my fourth girl is indeed old enough. If you have a suitable candidate, please let me know!"

"Yes, whoever marries Miss Wei Si will be very lucky."

Amidst the praise, the matter passed just like that.

Within a few days, these words spread in Jiangdu. Miss Wei Si said whatever she said, and everyone who heard it praised her. This is called Huizhi Lanxin.

…

When these words reached the post house, Xu Yin laughed: "It is indeed the Wei family, they are the best at building momentum."

If the Wei family hadn't spread rumors in the previous life, why would their sisters' reputations be so tarnished?
