Tianyun glanced around and saw that the servants beside him were also wide-eyed upon hearing this. This Hall of Famous Paintings certainly held a prestigious position.
At last year's Hundred Flowers Banquet, Guan Yuwei won sixteenth place with her painting "Treading on Fragrance".
Although she only came in sixteenth, the Hundred Flowers Banquet was highly prestigious, and she was the only one among the top twenty to participate with a painting. In the end, she got her wish and won the opportunity to visit the Hall of Famous Paintings.
"The paintings exhibited in the Hall of Famous Paintings are all masterpieces by world-renowned calligraphers and painters. Any one of them is priceless. I am truly fortunate to have this opportunity to go in and see them!" After saying this, she smiled and looked at Tianyun, her eyes filled with even more pride.
The implication is that I have this honor, while you do not.
Tianyun smiled broadly, propping her cheek up with her hand: "Cousin is truly amazing. To have accomplished so much at such a young age, I wonder what kind of prince or nobleman will be worthy of your talent in the future."
Her delicate face was bathed in soft light, a truly captivating beauty.
Upon hearing this, Sister Liu could no longer sit still and hurriedly retorted, "I think Tianlin is just fine. Why do we need any other princes or noblemen? Although he doesn't hold any official position, his business is doing quite well these days. He's more than enough to be a match for our Yuwei!"
Tianyun's expression hardened.
This Aunt Liu is shameless. She rushed over to propose marriage, but then belittled her brother to elevate herself, which really made Aunt Liu feel like, "You have no shame, what can I do about it?"
Madam Shangguan's face also darkened, but instead of being angry, she laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, what are you saying? I have watched Yuwei grow up since she was a child. Even if you are willing to force her, I, as her aunt, am not willing! Our Tianlin is not worthy of her. You should find someone else who is more suitable."
If you don't like someone but still go to them wanting to get married, then you're only after their money. What kind of wishful thinking are you up to?
The sarcasm in those words was obvious to everyone. Qin Yuwei blushed, feeling ashamed that her elders were discussing her marriage so openly. She quickly leaned close to Sister Liu's ear and whispered something.
"Mother, please say less. Don't let others think I'm desperate to get married!"
Sister-in-law Liu wanted to argue further: "I'm just telling the truth, if you don't like it, sister..."
Before she could finish speaking, Madam Shangguan interrupted her, "It's time for lunch. The food in the manor is simple, and I'm sure you're used to delicacies, so I won't keep you for lunch."
After saying that, he glared at Tianyun and said, "Have you finished your homework for today? Are you still standing here slacking off?"
She innocently touched her little nose and tactfully bowed, saying, "Aunt and cousin, please make yourselves at home. Tianyun will take her leave now."
The host family has all left; there's no reason for the guests to linger.
This is blatantly kicking people out!
"How petty! They won't even let me say a few honest words!" Sister Liu's face turned ashen as she angrily led Qin Yuwei away.
