Chapter 469 Shocking
Shen Yueyao had no makeup on, but she put on makeup for Su Ruoqing.
The moment she brought Su Ruoqing to appear in front of everyone, everyone present was so amazed that they forgot to breathe.
Many people took a deep breath.
Everyone stared at Su Ruoqing with wide eyes.
They couldn't believe that there was such a beautiful woman in the world.
The sunlight shining on her gave her an otherworldly aura, making her appearance even more stunning.
Everyone even breathed softly, fearing that breathing loudly would disturb the scene.
Everyone's eyes fell on Su Ruoqing.
When she walked, her clothes emitted a colorful luster, very light but very beautiful.
There is a feeling of beauty.
Even the children blinked their big eyes and looked at this beautiful sister.
They thought it was so beautiful that they couldn't help but want to look at it more.
Shen Yueyao looked at everyone's reactions and felt very satisfied.
Yes, that’s right. Everyone was amazed by Su Ruoqing’s appearance.
Who made some people say that Su Ruoqing was rustic and ugly even though they had never seen her before?
What's wrong with growing up in the countryside? She still has all the necessary looks and temperament.
Especially when the music started, with the slow music as the background, everyone thought they were hallucinating.
A beautiful woman appeared in the hallucination, as if she was not an ordinary woman.
Although everyone was stunned by Su Ruoqing, some people also noticed Shen Yueyao next to her.
Even though Shen Yueyao deliberately wore dark clothes and had no makeup on, she still couldn't hide her noble temperament and stunning appearance.
Of course, because Su Ruoqing had put on makeup and dressed up carefully, her appearance at this time was even more impactful.
Shen Yueyao smiled and said, "I'm sorry, my eldest daughter Su Ruoqing from the Su family was writing music just now, so I was delayed for a while and kept everyone waiting."
As she spoke, Shen Yueyao said to Su Ruoqing, "Ruoqing, go see if Mr. Huo has arrived and go entertain him."
Shen Yueyao deliberately spoke so loudly to let everyone know that the person standing next to her was Su Daya, who everyone once mocked and looked down upon, and is now Su Ruoqing.
He also made it clear to everyone that Su Ruoqing and Huo Bingshuo are now engaged.
Even if everyone thinks Su Ruoqing is beautiful, they can only look at her beauty and not have any other thoughts.
Shen Yueyao is very protective by nature.
Su Ruoqing said calmly, "Yes, Third Aunt!"
After Su Ruoqing said this, everyone came back to their senses.
So this is Su Daya.
There was an uproar at the scene, and everyone was so shocked that they couldn't recover.
"No way, this is actually the eldest daughter of the Su family, Su Daya."
"Is this true?"
"This is so beautiful! Isn't it said that she comes from the countryside and doesn't know much? Isn't it said that she is quite unsophisticated?"
"This... the most beautiful woman in the capital should be Su Ruoqing now."
"The rumors are really not credible. They are not credible."
Many young men looked at the beautiful Su Ruoqing and felt very upset and beat their chests and stamped their feet.
Stunning at first sight, captivating at first sight.
Some people who were originally slacking off found it difficult to look away from Su Ruoqing.
Only now do they understand what beauty is.
Some of the girls who had dressed up carefully felt ashamed of themselves when looking at Su Ruoqing.
They originally thought they were beautiful, but they were no match for Su Ruoqing.
The clothes, the temperament, and the appearance were so pleasing to the eyes that even they found them pleasing to the eye.
Many ladies were even more saddened.
They didn't even bother to eat the skewers. They just looked at each other, speechless.
They all gave an awkward yet polite smile.
At first, they looked down on Su Ruoqing in private and even made up stories about her, saying that she was unsophisticated and ugly.
They feel that their sons and grandchildren have been wronged.
So when the head of the family said he wanted to form an alliance with the Su family and let the young man in the family marry Su Ruoqing, they were extremely unhappy and felt that it would become a joke.
Although the truth came out later, everyone knew that Su Ruoqing was the one who wished for her.
But I just felt sympathy and distress, and didn't feel that it was a pity.
Now that they have seen the real person, such a beautiful woman, everyone realized how prejudiced they were before.
She is so beautiful that she doesn't look like she grew up in the countryside.
Not to mention that he didn't grow up in the countryside, even in Beijing there are few people who can match his looks.
Su Ling and Su Yang's classmates were all surprised and said, "Su Ling and Su Yang, that's your eldest sister."
"Yes, it's our eldest sister."
"Our eldest sister is so good. She knows so many things. She is knowledgeable and capable. You don't know how good she is."
Su Ling and Su Yang shook their heads, looking as if they thought their sister was very nice.
The two classmates were both young, and everyone looked at Su Ling and Su Yang's sister as if they were admiring a beauty.
I just think it looks good, and I don't have any other thoughts.
But there were many people present, many of whom were like Yuan Jinghen.
Most of these young gentlemen had been suggested by their grandfathers or fathers to marry Su Ruoqing.
At that time, they tried hard to resist the family arrangements, and some even refused to eat or drink to show their determination.
Of course, his determination was not to marry Su Ruoqing and not to become a laughing stock.
Who would have thought that they would be slapped in the face now.
They all felt a burning pain on their faces.
Now I can't help but look over there, and I can't take my eyes off the beauty.
I just think she walks beautifully, her clothes are beautiful, and her temperament is so good...
Yuan Jinghen came back to his senses, closed his eyes, and showed a bitter look.
He looked at Yan Xiangrou, whom he had chosen, and realized that there was such a huge difference.
At first, he refused to marry Su Ruoqing and only thought about Yan Xiangrou. He felt that Su Ruoqing could never compare to Yan Xiangrou.
But now that he had actually met her in person, he realized that he was just being pedantic.
It is really foolish to judge a person based on rumors without knowing the truth.
But now no matter how many ideas he has, it’s useless.
Because the woman everyone was looking at walked towards his cousin Huo Bingshuo.
No wonder my cousin said she was good, no wonder such a cold cousin was so determined to marry Su Ruoqing.
Once you've seen it, it's hard to look away.
…
Huo Bingshuo looked at Su Ruoqing in disbelief.
In his eyes, Su Ruoqing is very good, but Su Ruoqing is even more beautiful today.
When he saw her walking towards him, he felt his heart almost start beating, throbbing so hard that he couldn't control it at all.
He could also feel the envy on the faces of those present.
Huo Bingshuo looked at Su Ruoqing with tenderness and affection in his eyes.
There was a burning gleam in his eyes, like two flames.
Even though he looks cold on the outside, only he knows that his heart is melting into a ball of fire.
Su Ruoqing walked up to Huo Bingshuo and saw him staring at her blankly. A shy look appeared on her face, "Bingshuo!"
Hearing Su Ruoqing's voice, Huo Bingshuo came back to his senses and his face turned red.
"Ruoqing!"
Huo Bingshuo softened his voice, fearing that a louder voice would startle her.
I don’t know where to put my hands and feet.
Huo Bingse and Huo Bingce both exclaimed, Wow, my sister-in-law is so beautiful.
It's so beautiful, just looking at it is a pleasure.
Su Ruoqing couldn't help laughing when she saw his blushing face.
This smile is even more beautiful in everyone's eyes. It is truly a smile, a moment of beauty, and charming.
Huo Bingshuo originally had a lot to say to Su Ruoqing, but now he didn't know what to say.
He held his breath as he looked at Su Ruoqing.
"Don't stand there, sit down, let's eat skewers together, and there will be watermelon later."
After Third Aunt had people pick watermelons on the first day, she had them delivered to the Huo family.
Huo Bingshuo and his younger brothers and sisters had eaten watermelon before, so they naturally knew how delicious it was.
The three of them also began to look forward to it.
However, Huo Bingshuo's attention was still on Su Ruoqing.
Su Ruoqing was afraid that Huo Bingshuo and the others would feel uncomfortable, so she whispered, "Don't be restrained."
"And my brothers and sisters, you should eat more too."
Huo Bingse whispered, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
They quietly called her sister-in-law.
They started communicating while eating skewers and talking.
Huo Bingse found that his sister-in-law was really knowledgeable and talented. The two of them felt like they were old friends and could talk to each other.
Even when Huo Bingce talked about some military knowledge, Su Ruoqing could answer his questions.
The three people were shocked, and the more they talked, the more they got interested.
The people watching from a distance were also a little saddened by the fact that Su Ruoqing was getting along so well with the Huo family.
Many sisters-in-law do not like their younger brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, let alone take care of them.
But looking at Su Ruoqing's appearance at this time, it seems that she will be very nice to her sister-in-law and brother-in-law.
Moreover, Huo Bingshuo's younger brothers and sisters also seem to like this sister-in-law very much.
Just looking at this point, you can see that Su Ruoqing has a good temperament.
Everyone was speechless and felt annoyed.
Why didn't I know more about it at the beginning?
Shen Yueyao waited until everyone had recovered from their shock before letting the troupe perform the play "The Female Number One Scholar".
When the troupe performed the play "Female Number One Scholar" on stage, everyone was attracted by the play.
I was fascinated by it.
"I've never heard of this play before."
"This is a new play."
"It's beautiful, and the singing is beautiful too. I've never heard of this kind of singing before."
Some ladies who have watched many plays thought this play was pleasant to listen to and had a good story.
Especially the tune of the female champion at the end, everyone seems to be able to hum it after listening to it once.
Some of the children watched without blinking.
During the break, Shen Yueyao started to eat watermelon.
"Since all the gentlemen and ladies are here, let's play a game called pass the flower. Whoever gets the flower gets to stand up and perform a talent, okay?"
Everyone naturally agreed with this proposal, as it was difficult for young men and women to have a special occasion to perform their talents on ordinary days.
It's a good opportunity to show themselves.
"Of course, you can also invite others to help out."
After the game started, many young men and women showed off their talents.
Most of them perform piano, calligraphy and painting.
Of course, Shen Yueyao also called Su Ruoqing, Huo Bingshuo and others to come and play games together.
Shen Yueyao had strong mental strength, and she manipulated the device slightly, causing the flower to fall into Su Ruoqing's hands.
Su Ruoqing knew that this was arranged by her third aunt.
She stood up gracefully and invited Huo Bingshuo to join her.
"I'll play the piano, and you can practice swordplay, okay?"
Huo Bingshuo nodded, "Okay."
As long as Su Ruoqing was happy, Huo Bingshuo would nod to whatever she said.
Many people feel jealous when they see the two of them.
Of course, some ladies also looked at the two of them and smiled.
It looks good to look at.
But everyone started whispering.
"Playing the piano and sword dancing are not easy to coordinate."
"That's right. How can I dance with a sword to the soft sound of a zither?"
"And does Su Ruoqing really know how to play the piano?"
Everyone looked at Su Ruoqing and Huo Bingshuo with suspicion.
But Huo Bingshuo believes in Su Ruoqing, and Su Ruoqing is also confident in her piano skills.
The main thing was that her third aunt gave her a music score, which she felt was particularly shocking when she played it herself.
She practiced for a long time.
Shen Yueyao asked someone to bring out the piano that Su Ruoqing needed.
Su Ruoqing sat down in front of the guqin.
The moment she sat down, Su Ruoqing's expression became serious and cold.
Huo Bingshuo even picked up the sword and looked at Su Ruoqing.
Immediately afterwards, Su Ruoqing played the song "Loyalty to the Country".
"Wolf smoke rises, the dragon flag unfurls as the mountains and rivers look north, the horses neigh, the sword energy is like frost, and my heart is as vast as the Yellow River..."
Not only did Su Ruoqing play the song, she also sang it.
The song with its grand and majestic lyrics shook everyone's body at once.
Everyone seemed to have suddenly arrived at the border of the desert and saw the beacon fires and smoke.
That kind of ambition was aroused all of a sudden...
Listening to the music and tune, Huo Bingshuo's blood boiled, and the sword in his hand danced involuntarily, faster and faster...
Huo Bingshuo's fierce aura emanated from him.
He felt the blood boiling in his heart.
Reminded me of the feeling when I was young.
Moreover, the Huo family kung fu that he had mastered seemed to have hit a bottleneck.
At this moment, listening to the music of the piano, he suddenly broke through the bottleneck in his martial arts.
This made Huo Bingshuo very excited.
His swordsmanship has changed and become more fierce.
Everyone was feeling a little sleepy after watching the previous talent show, but when they heard this, their whole body suddenly became energetic and they were no longer sleepy or tired.
Everyone looked at the two people with bright eyes. They felt that the piano music was so shocking, Su Ruoqing's singing was so majestic, and Huo Bingshuo's sword dance was also very good.
Just looking at it is shocking.
After the song was played, everyone was in a daze for a long time.
After a while, someone started clapping first, and the place erupted in thunderous applause.
“It’s so shocking.”
"Yes, it sounds wonderful."
“I’ve never heard such a tune before, so majestic.”
"As expected of a daughter of a military family."
"Yes, the lyrics and melody are really shocking."
"Listening to the music, I felt like I was entering a place on the border of the desert."
Of course, everyone said that Su Ruoqing was worthy of being Su Xiuye’s daughter, a daughter of a general, and only she could understand this grand feeling.
Huo Bingshuo and Su Ruoqing looked at each other, and sparks flashed in their eyes.
At this moment, they all felt a sense of resonance in their hearts.
Like a soulmate.
Huo Bingshuo only felt that his feelings for Ruoqing deepened.
Su Ruoqing was not shy either, and she couldn't take her eyes off Huo Bingshuo.
She didn't expect Huo Bingshuo to be so handsome and beautiful when dancing with the sword.
What she saw was his aura, not the scar on his face.
And Third Aunt said that the scar on the face is nothing.
Apply some medicine to the scar every day. The scar will fade and disappear within a few months.
Su Ruoqing thought that it was good for Huo Bingshuo to be like this now.
After getting married, she asked Huo Bingshuo if he wanted to remove the scar.
She would respect his ideas.
There was light in both of their eyes.
Su Ruoqing felt that at this moment, all the inferiority in her heart was gone.
She had completely untied the knot in her heart from the past, and at this moment, she felt confident and clear inside.
Her heart was beating fast too.
She felt like she was reborn.
…
Su Erya kept clapping beside them.
She whispered to Shen Yueyao, "Aunt San, no one will ever call Sister Ruoqing a country bumpkin from the countryside again, right?"
Shen Yueyao nodded, "Your sister Ruoqing is now obviously talented and beautiful. From now on, these people in the capital will never say a bad word about your sister Ruoqing again."
This way, all her efforts will be worthwhile.
"That's right. This way, your sister Ruoqing can face anyone's scrutiny with an open mind at any time."
"She can walk down the street and attend parties as she pleases, and no one will look at her strangely anymore."
Shen Yueyao understood that only by fundamentally changing everyone's views could Su Ruoqing truly live in the sunshine.
Otherwise, even if you use other methods to make people afraid to say anything, the strange looks can still make people uncomfortable.
Only if you look at Su Ruoqing with a normal expression will Su Ruoqing not be affected.
Su Erya said, "Aunt San, you wrote the lyrics before and changed everyone's opinion. They stopped saying bad things about Sister Ruoqing in private. But is that not okay?"
"Although everyone later learned that it was the Lu and Gao families who framed Ruoqing, after learning the truth, people tended to look upon her with sympathy and pity, as if she were a weakling. Do you think Ruoqing wanted everyone to think of her past and feel sympathy and pity when they saw her?"
Su Erya shook her head and said, "Sister Ruoqing doesn't need any sympathy or pity. Sister Ruoqing knows a lot and can manage her life well."
"Besides, Sister Ruoqing would feel suffocated if a member of the royal family was looked at with sympathy and pity. She wants to forget the past, but others always bring up her past, which must have affected her mood."
Shen Yueyao nodded and said, "That's it."
"After this banquet, everyone will only remember your sister Ruoqing's beauty and talent, and will no longer look at her with sympathy and pity."
“A lot of people will appreciate her talent.”
"Especially nowadays, many people like to study the art of playing the qin. They will admire you, Sister Ruoqing, in their hearts."
Talented people are always admired.
Su Erya felt that Third Aunt was so nice and thought so much about Sister Ruoqing.
Look, there are still many young men and women looking at Sister Ruoqing.
"Besides, because your sister Ruoqing has a past and she's already engaged, the ladies in the boudoir won't be jealous of her. They'll only treat Ruoqing with kindness and admiration."
"This way, Ruoqing will be able to make friends in the capital and integrate into some circles."
Su Erya listened to her aunt's analysis and felt more and more emotional. "Aunt, I understand now. In fact, you still need to be talented and capable to break other people's opinions."
"That's right. You're only thirteen now, still young, and you can learn a lot."
"When you turn fifteen and become a hairpin, Third Aunt will hold a grand hairpin ceremony for you so that everyone can see how good you are."
Su Erya raised the corners of her mouth and said with a smile: "Third Aunt is still good to me."
Su Erya is not a pretentious person.
Shen Yueyao actually likes Erya's personality very much. She is cheerful, lively and loves to laugh.
Such people can always bring happiness to others.
"I will also provide your sister Ruoqing with maids, both maids and servants."
This way, when she goes to the Huo family, Su Ruoqing will have someone available.
Shen Yueyao had arranged for people to provide special training at Zhuangzi in advance.
After a few days, I will arrange it for Su Ruoqing.
After Shen Yueyao had a conversation with Su Erya, she saw Su Xueyi entertaining some colleagues not far away and asked, "Have all the watermelons been cut?"
Su Erya said, "I'm cutting it right now. Shall we have the watermelon?"
"Well, after your sister Ruoqing finishes her talent show, it's a good opportunity for everyone to taste the watermelon and promote the watermelons in our farm. Starting tomorrow, the watermelons will be on sale."
When it is hot in summer, it is perfect to eat watermelon, which is sweet and cool.
With so many watermelons planted in the farm, business should be good.
She planned to sell watermelons here in Zhuangzi.
At this moment, Geng came over and whispered, "Master, twenty watermelons have been cut."
Geng is Fan Jiang's daughter-in-law and is now also a housekeeper. Whenever there is anything, she will follow the arrangements of her master.
Shen Yueyao looked at the Qushui Liushang built not far away and said, "Put plates of watermelon on the Qushui, and everyone can sit by the water and eat watermelon."
In fact, it is the same as rotating buffet.
Whoever comes in front of the watermelon can take a piece and eat it.
Shen Yueyao would not let everyone eat as much as they wanted. She would just let everyone have a small plate and let everyone taste it.
It is equivalent to letting everyone taste it for free. If you want to eat as much as you want, you need to pay for the watermelon yourself.
The seeds of these watermelons are all produced in space, so the watermelons are sweet and big.
Someone called out, "Time to eat watermelon."
As he spoke, some waiters brought plates and placed them on the winding water.
Everyone looked at the plates of watermelon and said, "Wow, this is watermelon, the flesh is so red."
“Just looking at it makes you hungry.”
“I don’t know what it tastes like.”
"The fruit that Miss Shen makes must be delicious. Aren't strawberries delicious?"
"I heard that the emperor was full of praise for watermelon."
I heard that two days ago, after the court session, a minister went to the emperor to discuss something, but found the emperor eating watermelon in the imperial garden, and he was eating very happily.
Yes, as soon as the watermelons were ripe, Shen Yueyao picked a big and sweet watermelon and asked Su Xueyi to go to the palace to deliver it to the emperor.
The emperor cut it open and tasted it on the spot, praising it continuously.
The next day, Su Xueyi sent a few more to the palace to ensure that the emperor could eat watermelon every day.
The emperor even rewarded them with many good things that were not available on the market.
Represents honor and favor.
Shen Yueyao planned to take out some jewelry to add to Su Ruoqing's makeup.
Rewarding from the emperor is a great honor.
"This is watermelon. It's so delicious. It's full of water."
"Oh my god, once I eat watermelon, I don't feel thirsty anymore."
“Delicious, delicious.”
“It tastes better than strawberries.”
"This is the perfect time to eat watermelon, right? Why didn't we have watermelon before?"
"Could Mrs. Shen be a god? How come she can always get delicious food?"
"No one has ever seen or heard of this fruit."
"This is not enough to eat with just one plate."
"It's pretty good of Ms. Shen to let everyone eat for free. If it's not enough, you can buy as many watermelons as you want."
"Can I buy watermelon now?"
Only a few representatives of the family came to attend the banquet. It was impossible for the entire family to attend.
Many people think that their family members at home have not yet eaten such delicious food, so they want to buy watermelons to take home for their family members to try.
"I don't know what the price of watermelon is."
"The price set by Miss Shen is definitely not too expensive. Strawberries are so fresh and delicious, only one hundred coins per pound."
"Yes, let me ask. I don't know how much a pound of watermelon is."
"Looking at such red flesh makes people hungry."
"Just now they were trying to convince us to save some space for the watermelon. I thought they were reluctant to give us the skewers, but I didn't expect the watermelon to be so delicious."
"I'm so full from eating skewers. I should have eaten less and more watermelon."
“It’s just as delicious, and the skewers are delicious too.”
“I hope Lady Shen will hold more banquets so that we can eat barbecue.”
"Anyone who wants to eat skewers can come to the shop in the village."
"What?"
"There's a kebab shop in the village, right behind the milk tea shop. Anyone who wants to eat kebabs can come and consume there."
"No way, Mrs. Shen is too amazing. She opened a barbecue restaurant all of a sudden?"
"Can Huo Bingshuo eat watermelon and skewers more often?"
"Of course. I heard that the Su family sent watermelons to the Huo family two days ago."
Tsk tsk, everyone is even more envious of Huo Bingshuo.
Everyone looked at Huo Bingshuo with sour eyes.
Huo Bingshuo naturally noticed everyone's eyes, and they were all so jealous.
In the past, he was like a invisible person, and every day he would go on guard duty and then go home.
No one would notice him.
But now many people have noticed him.
Some people even asked him implicitly whether his sister was engaged, and they all wanted to get engaged to the Huo family.
Many people reacted.
"Yes, marrying into the Huo family is equivalent to having a relationship with the Su family."
"And that Mr. Dong, he's also a member of the Su family."
Many ladies suddenly became excited and tried to find ways to get acquainted with the Huo family and Dong Wenren.
And everyone saw the sister next to Huo Bingshuo, that gentle and quiet woman, who was really nice.
