"What a bold young lady of the Jiang family. Her upbringing is really not bad.”The voice of a woman in the crowd came from afar with a hint of anger. Hearing the voice, those people who were watching the show automatically made way for the people coming in.
It was getting more and more lively now. However, Nalan Youyou's actions had already fallen into the eyes of those who were interested. They saw a man in purple clothes looking at them with interest.
Nalan Youyou had already noticed that someone was paying attention to this place, but she looked carefully several times but did not see anyone. Nalan Youyou could only give up.
The sisters of the Nalan family looked up at the source of the voice and saw Zhuang Huaijin supporting the old madam. The one who had spoken just now was the old madam. Yuejun quietly followed behind the two of them. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the old madam, and no one noticed her. Seeing this, she quietly walked back to Nalan Youyou's side as if she had never left.
The old madam was furious. She had heard Yuejun say that Jiang Ruyan, the young lady of the Jiang family, had humiliated the Nalan family. The old madam was furious when she heard this. She led Zhuang Huaimo over.
Now that this was such a big occasion, if he didn't regain his face, wouldn't he suffer a huge loss?
"Old Madam." Nalan Youyou saw the old madam walking over. She stood up elegantly and walked to the old madam. She bowed to the old madam with a calm expression and stood obediently at the side as if the person who was arguing with Jiang Ruyan just now was not her.
"Old Madam, you're finally here. That Jiang Ruyan said that none of us in the Nalan Residence is cultured.”Nalan Yanwan saw the old madam walking over and immediately threw herself in front of the old madam and cried.
The old madam was already in a bad mood, and now she saw Nalan Yanwan crying in front of so many people without any manners.
Nalan Youyou could feel the displeasure in Old Madam's heart." Third Sister, Old Madam and Second Madam are both here. How can we juniors have the right to speak?" Just listen quietly."
"Oh, alright." Nalan Yanwan rolled her eyes unhappily, but still listened carefully and obediently stood aside without saying anything.
The old madam took a step forward and looked at Jiang Ruyan." Miss Jiang, did you just say that the Nalan family was lucky enough to get our current position? And you said that none of the people in my Nalan Residence are cultured?”
"I, I said it. So what?”Jiang Ruyan waved his cigarette and admitted it. What was there to not admit? He had already heard what he had said so loudly just now. If he did not admit it, he would lose all his face.
"Then Miss Jiang, you must have clearly explained how our Nalan Residence's current status was obtained by luck. How can the people of our Nalan Residence be ill-mannered? Could it be that only someone like Miss Jiang could be considered cultured? If that's the case, then my Nalan Residence would rather not have such upbringing!”Zhuang Huaimo helped the old madam to sit down. The old madam looked coldly at Jiang Ruyan, who was still standing in front of her and did not realize what she had done wrong.
If he had such upbringing, wouldn't the Nalan Residence be in a mess?
"You! Old Madam Nalan, I respect you as an elder, so I won't argue with you. Don't bully me too much!”Jiang Ruyan's face turned pale as she listened to the old madam's words. Nalan Youyou looked at Jiang Ruyan, who had a look of confusion on her face, and turned her eyes away, too lazy to look at her.
"Ruyan! Shut up!" The old madam slammed her hand on the table and was about to flare up when she heard a hurried shout from the crowd.
Nalan Youyou looked over and saw a middle-aged woman walking over anxiously. Her face was a little pale and her chest was heaving slightly, indicating the urgency of the person who had come.
This woman was Jiang Ruyan's mother. It seemed that her previous methods were not in vain. Just now, Nalan Youyou not only asked Yuejun to find the old madam and the others, but she also spread the news here. There were not many people here, so the news quickly reached Madam Jiang's ears.
The old madam looked at Madam Jiang, who was walking over anxiously. The old madam looked at her coldly and said," Madam Jiang, the Jiang Mansion is indeed well-educated.”
"Old Madam Nalan, please don't blame me. My daughter is straightforward and says whatever she thinks. If she has offended you in any way, please forgive her.”Madam Jiang bowed to the old lady as a junior to show respect to her elders. However, she was certain that the Nalan Residence was uneducated.
"Madam Jiang's words need to be examined. Miss Jiang is straightforward by nature. Does this mean that Madam Jiang thinks that Miss Jiang is right?”The old madam didn't understand what Madam Jiang was saying. Nalan Youyou saw that the old madam was about to admit what Madam Jiang had said, so she spoke first.
Madam Jiang was stunned, and an awkward expression flashed across her face. She felt as if her thoughts had been exposed. Actually, that was what she thought, but she was still a little unhappy to be said so bluntly. Madam Jiang glanced at Nalan Youyou and said coldly," How can a junior interrupt when an elder is speaking?”
"Madam Jiang is right. The younger generation should not interrupt when the elders are speaking. However, even if an elder was lecturing a junior, the junior shouldn't interrupt.”Nalan Youyou said with a smile.
Nalan Youyou meant that Madam Jiang had interrupted when the old madam was lecturing Miss Jiang. It was unreasonable for her to say so.
Madam Jiang's face turned pale after hearing Nalan Youyou's words. She really didn't expect that the old madam of the Nalan family was easy to deal with, but this little girl had suppressed her every word.
The old madam looked at Madam Jiang, whose expression kept changing, and thought about what Madam Jiang had said just now. She felt that Nalan Youyou was right, but as an elder, she had to be considerate.
"Youyou, Madam Jiang is an elder. How can you be so rude? Although our Nalan family doesn't have much money, we still have the money to hire a nanny.”The old madam's eyes flashed with pride. Nalan Youyou had really made her proud.
Madam Jiang knew that she wouldn't be able to get anything good out of it today, so she became more respectful." Old Madam Nalan, you're wrong. Of course, the Jiang Mansion has the money to hire a nanny." Ruyan is not a place we can stay. Let's go."”
Then, he pulled the displeased Jiang Ruyan and left.
As soon as Madam Jiang left, the people around her started gossiping. Zhuang Huaijin whispered a few words into the old madam's ear. The old madam glanced at Nalan Youyou." Youyou, you're the face of the Nalan family. You should pay more attention to what you say. Otherwise, people will say that the Nalan family is ill-mannered."”
"Old Madam, it was clearly that Miss Jiang who came and found fault with us. We didn't say anything at the beginning. If she hadn't gone too far, we wouldn't have bothered with her.”Yuejun felt indignant for Nalan Youyou.
The old madam glared at him angrily." How uncultured!" How can a servant like you interrupt when the master is speaking! Go back and find the butler to receive your punishment!"
"Old Furen, please forgive me. Yuejun was just telling the truth. Everyone had the same opinion on this matter. If the old madam thinks that Youyou is wrong, then please ask any of the young ladies.”Nalan Youyou looked at Zhuang Huaijin meaningfully.
Zhuang Huaijin coldly turned her eyes away and ignored Nalan Youyou.
The old madam was speechless by Nalan Youyou. Her old face was green and red for a long time without saying a word.
"The Empress has arrived!" Nalan Youyou was silent for a moment, drinking tea and eating snacks. A moment later, a sharp voice sounded from afar. Nalan Youyou was stunned. She quickly got up and knelt down.
"Greetings, Empress.”
Nalan Youyou carefully raised her eyes and looked at the majestic ceremonial guards in front of her. She saw a woman in her twenties wearing a phoenix crown walking over with an imposing manner.
"Young miss, this empress is so young and beautiful.”Yuejun stole a glance carefully and could not help but praise.
Nalan Youyou smiled when she heard that. The empress was already in her forties, but she had taken good care of herself, so she looked as young as a young woman in her twenties. This was also one of the reasons why the Emperor favored the Empress. Another reason was that the Empress herself was quite capable and was the Emperor's virtuous wife.
It was said that everything today was arranged by the Empress.
"Everyone, please rise." The Empress walked to the upper seat and sat down. She raised her hand and gestured for everyone to stand up.
"Thank you, Empress."
"Today is the Empress Dowager's birthday, please take a seat.”The Empress looked with satisfaction at the people who had stood up. She saw that there was a colorful scene below, and every young woman was dressed gorgeously. She was even more satisfied.
"Thank you, Empress."
The Empress nodded her head in satisfaction and gave him a seat. After a few simple words, she gave him a banquet.
Everyone sat down according to their status. At this moment, the Empress Dowager had also arrived. The Empress Dowager sat on the seat of honor, the Empress sat on the side, and below them were the princes and princesses. Below the princes and princesses were the various imperial wives, and behind them were the wives of the officials. Below them were the daughters and sons of the Di families, and behind them were the daughters and sons of the Shu families.
Nalan Jingjing and Nalan Yanwan were both sitting on the seats of the concubines. After what happened in the morning, she would not look for Nalan Youyou again. Otherwise, if she were to embarrass herself in front of so many people, wouldn't she be slapping herself in the face?
Nalan Youyou had just sat down when she suddenly felt someone pat her on the back. Nalan Youyou turned around in surprise and saw Beiming Yu looking at Nalan Youyou with a mischievous smile.
The others bowed. Nalan Youyou was about to bow when Beiming Yu pulled her back, saying that there was no need for this between the two of them.
"Ah Yu, why are you here? Shouldn't you be up there?" Nalan Youyou looked at Beiming Yu and asked in surprise.
Beiming Yu looked at Nalan Youyou and pulled her away without saying anything. As she walked, she said," I'm very bored sitting there alone. Come, come, come. Come with me. Just treat it as accompanying me."”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:122120184:05AM
