After Xie Yunjiao helped Zhong Huaishuang dress up, they left the Zhong Mansion and headed towards the county government office.
Zhong Huaishuang sat in the carriage, her palms sweating with nervousness.
Xie Yunjiao grabbed her hand and patted it. Zhong Huaishuang turned her head and looked at Xie Yunjiao: "Sister Yunjiao, what should I do? I'm still very nervous."
She had attended such banquets before when she was in the capital, but they were all gatherings among the children of merchants, and everyone was relatively relaxed.
But this time was different. She was invited to attend the banquet by the county magistrate's daughter. Most of the people attending the banquet were rich ladies, and their status was higher than hers.
She was afraid that her performance would not be good enough and would bring shame to the Zhong family and Manyue Tower.
Besides, she hadn't attended such a party for several years, and she had even forgotten what to do when attending a party.
"Don't worry, just treat it as a normal sisterly get-together. And I'm right here with you, don't worry."
Zhong Huaishuang pursed her lips and nodded: "I...I'll try my best."
When we arrived at the back door of the county government office, we saw many carriages parked in front of the alley.
Although those carriages look ordinary, the wood used for the body is of excellent quality, proving that the owners of the carriages are either rich or noble.
However, Zhong Huaishuang had no mind to pay attention to these things. As soon as she got off the carriage and looked at the entrance where people were coming and going, she felt like retreating.
She wants to escape!
Xie Yunjiao seemed to guess what she was thinking, so she smiled and said to her, "If you really don't like this kind of occasion, let's go back."
Zhong Huaishuang wanted to go back, but Yang Shuang's words rang in her ears. Yang Shuang said that she was too timid and needed training.
Moreover, Yang Shuang also hoped that she could perform better at the banquet and get to know some people of status, which would be of great help to her in the future or to Yue Manlou.
This is a banquet that Zhong Wanshan may not be able to attend no matter how hard he tries. Since she has been invited to attend this time, she should seize the opportunity. How can she back down at the last minute?
Xie Yunjiao felt relieved when she saw Zhong Huaishuang seemed to have figured it out and walked forward resolutely.
The two of them came to the gate of the county government office together. The gatekeeper was obviously stunned when he saw Zhong Huaishuang, who was dressed exquisitely.
Today they met many rich young ladies, but none of them dressed as beautifully as Zhong Huaishuang.
Even their eldest daughter is not as pretty as Zhong Huaishuang!
However, Zhong Huaishuang looks unfamiliar. She must be the distinguished guest that the eldest lady specifically instructed to be "entertained" well!
"Hello, I'm here at the banquet invited by Miss Ma." Zhong Huaishuang said timidly.
It was really strange. She had clearly seen someone in front of her just now, and the servant let the person in without saying anything.
Why did she block the door with a fierce look on her face when she arrived, as if not letting her in?
She was already nervous, and now she was even more nervous.
She looked at Xie Yunjiao helplessly.
The two servants looked at each other and felt very proud.
The eldest lady said that this "distinguished guest" was the daughter of a merchant from a humble family. It turned out to be true. No matter how exquisitely and beautifully she dressed, it could not conceal her humble family spirit.
This is what is meant by "even wearing a dragon robe he still doesn't look like a prince."
Xie Yunjiao glared at them coldly. This Miss Ma really came with bad intentions. She was about to give Zhong Huaishuang a warning at the door.
If Zhong Huaishuang came alone, she would probably have to endure the grievance silently.
But as long as she is around, she will never let Zhong Huaishuang suffer any injustice!
"So the county magistrate's servants don't understand what people say? We've been invited to your young lady's gathering. Here's the invitation. If you neglect us, your young lady will blame you. Can you bear it?"
Xie Yunjiao threw the invitation letter she had prepared long ago in the face of a servant.
The servant's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it.
Now that he had the invitations, he couldn't continue to block the door and could only welcome Xie Yunjiao and Zhong Huaishuang in.
"Remember, by doing this, you're not embarrassing us, but your eldest daughter. If you can't even handle this little thing, I don't think you'll stay in the county government for long."
"you!"
Xie Yunjiao ignored the angry servant and walked inside with Zhong Huaishuang.
After Xie Yunjiao and the others had gone far away, the servant was still angry: "Who does she think she is? How dare she say that I won't stay here long!"
"Don't say anything more. I think that woman is very scary, not like what the young lady said. It's better to be careful." Another servant said.
As Xie Yunjiao and Zhong Huaishuang passed through the Moon Gate, they saw a maid walking towards them with a smile: "I guess you must be Miss Zhong from Yue Manlou. Please come this way."
Zhong Huaishuang nodded shyly: "Yes."
When they arrived at the pavilion, they saw several little girls sitting in front of the fireplace, chatting and laughing. The bright-eyed girl sitting in the middle was wearing a bright yellow skirt and had a proud temperament.
She seemed to have heard something funny and was giggling happily.
Suddenly she heard the maid say that Zhong Huaishuang was here, so she stopped and looked towards Zhong Huaishuang.
The others also followed her and looked towards Zhong Huaishuang.
Ma Mingyu was obviously stunned when she saw Zhong Huaishuang. She had never seen such a good-looking person. Her clothes and temperament were so well-groomed that people couldn't take their eyes off her.
Who told her that Zhong Huaishuang was ugly and old? Looking at it now, it was not the case at all.
Even though she had dressed up carefully today, she was still slightly inferior to Zhong Huaishuang.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on her, and Zhong Huaishuang felt a little embarrassed.
She forced a smile and smiled at everyone: "Hello everyone, I am Zhong Huaishuang, nice to meet you..."
"Is it you?"
Lai Yinfang, who was sitting next to Ma Mingyu, stared at Zhong Huaishuang for a long time. When her eyes fell on the seemingly inconspicuous Xie Yunjiao standing aside, she remembered who Zhong Huaishuang was!
The person who looked timid and had no temperament that day suddenly transformed into such a bright and charming person, as if she had become a completely different person!
And the jewelry on her is so beautiful, it completely outshines the jewelry on others.
Just now everyone was praising her beautiful jewelry, but now everyone's attention was on Zhong Huaishuang.
All her limelight was stolen by Zhong Huaishuang!
"Do you know her?" Ma Mingyu asked in a low voice.
"I know her, but she was so ugly before. I don't know what kind of witchcraft she used, otherwise how could she become so beautiful." Lai Yinfang said angrily.
Ma Mingyu understood. It seemed that the legend was true. The person in front of him was indeed Zhong Huaishuang.
However, she was quite interested in why Zhong Huaishuang suddenly seemed like a different person.
She stood up and walked towards Zhong Huaishuang: "Sister Huaishuang, please come this way. Although this is just our first meeting, I feel like we've known each other for a long time and I feel very close to you."
