Chapter 229 False Fame
Since Miao Yin met Yuan Ziyu, Meng Luoyi naturally knew that Yuan Ziyu had arrived at Fatan Temple.
In the afternoon, a maid came to ask Yuan Ziyu to come.
Yuan Ziyu brought the two Cui sisters and the maid to Meng Luoyi's guest house.
"Second Miss Yuan!" Meng Luoyi stood up and greeted her with a smile, "It is Luoyi's honor to have you here, Second Miss Yuan. I wonder who these two are?"
Meng Luoyi looked the two Cui sisters up and down and asked with a smile.
"These are my two cousins, Miss Cui Da and Miss Cui Er!" Yuan Ziyu replied with a smile.
"Oh, a relative of Miss Yuan Er?" After the two sides exchanged greetings, Meng Luoyi smiled and turned to look behind him: "Then he must also be a relative of Miss Yuan Da. Miss Yuan Da, why don't you come over there?"
Yuan Ziyu noticed Yuan Zitong as soon as she entered the guest house, but she was too lazy to pay attention to Yuan Zitong and pretended not to see her even if she saw her. When she heard Meng Luoyi mention Yuan Zitong, she just glanced at her coldly and didn't give her another look.
Yuan Zitong hid aside at first without saying a word, just lowered her head slightly and looked aggrieved and lost. Now when she heard Meng Luoyi talking about her, she raised her head timidly and looked at Yuan Ziyu, then stood up hesitantly and walked to a place not far from Yuan Ziyu.
"Second sister!" Yuan Zitong called softly.
Yuan Ziyu didn't even look at Yuan Zitong: "I thought big sister already knew my attitude!"
"Second sister, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it in private, okay? After all, this is where Miss Meng holds her party. It's not good to argue about our affairs!" Yuan Zitong said in a cautious tone.
Yuan Ziyou sneered: "As long as Big Sister doesn't provoke me, nothing bad will happen!"
After saying that, he ignored Yuan Zitong and just found a place to sit down. He asked Meng Luoyi, "I wonder what Miss Meng is doing by holding this party at Fatan Temple today? I came here without knowing what to do!"
Cui Ruxu and Cui Ruxun saw that Yuan Ziyu and Yuan Zitong were not getting along. Although they didn't understand why, after spending these days with Yuan Ziyu, they trusted Yuan Ziyu more from the bottom of their hearts. So they just nodded slightly to Yuan Zitong and sat next to Yuan Ziyu.
"It's nothing serious!" Meng Luoyi said with a smile. "It's already June, and everyone knows that June is the best time to enjoy the lotus. In all of Beijing, the lotus flowers at Fatan Temple are in their best bloom. We sisters can take this opportunity to listen to Master Wujie's sermon, appreciate the lotus flowers, listen to the Buddhist chanting, and write a poem. It's quite an elegant thing to do!"
"Great!" As soon as Meng Luoyi finished speaking, someone echoed, "Miss Meng's ideas are indeed original. This Buddhist lotus is simply a perfect subject for poetry!"
Meng Luoyi smiled and accepted the compliment calmly!
"Miss Yuan Er, you are now quite famous in our capital. What do you think of today's gathering?" Meng Luoyi asked Yuan Ziyu with a smile.
This time, Meng Luoyi didn't invite too many noble ladies, only about ten people. When they heard Meng Luoyi asking Yuan Ziyu, they all looked at Yuan Ziyu and waited for her answer.
Yuan Ziyu smiled and said, "Ms. Meng, you are too kind to me. Compared to poetry, singing and dancing, I prefer swordplay and military tactics. If Miss Meng invites me to compete in martial arts today, I would be more than happy to do it. As for these elegant things, I can't do them, so..."
Yuan Ziyou shrugged: "Sorry, I can't give you any advice."
"How could that be!" Miao Yin laughed and said, "Didn't Second Miss Yuan win the first place in the Moxiang Order during the Lantern Festival? If I remember correctly, there were quite a few people participating in the Moxiang Order that day. How could Second Miss Yuan win the first place that day, but there are only a dozen people today? How could she say she can't do it? Do you look down on First Miss Meng, or do you look down on the rest of us?"
Miao Yin's words made Cui Ruxu and Cui Ruxun frown. This was not an invitation to a party, it was clearly an attempt to cause trouble.
The two were about to speak when they were stopped by Yuan Ziyu.
Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "It was just a coincidence that day. I happened to see those things in a casual book and happened to remember them. It was a great bargain. There's nothing I can do. When luck comes, it can't be stopped."
"Heh!" Miao Yin sneered, "Second Miss Yuan is really lucky."
"That's right, I've always had good luck!" Yuan Ziyou stood up with a smile, looking at Meng Luoyi and Miao Yin and said, "I think I'm clear on why Miss Meng Da and Miss Miao San invited me here. I'll also tell you clearly that I, Yuan Ziyou, am only proficient in martial arts and military tactics, not music, poetry, or painting. You can spread this throughout the capital, but just don't say it in front of me. If you do get uncomfortable in front of me, you know I'm always rude and I'll whip you if I don't agree. I'm sure many of you have witnessed Liu Xueqing's experience that day."
Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Yuan Ziyou pursed his lips and smiled: "I think I've made myself very clear."
After saying that, Yuan Ziyou looked at Meng Luoyi and Miao Yin again: "Whatever you want to do, just do it. I, Yuan Ziyou, don't have to rely on those empty names to live. If you really make me angry, the worst that can happen is that I will whip you. Tell me, am I right?"
Miao Yin gritted her teeth and said, "Are you threatening us?"
"Whether it's a threat or not, Miss Miao San will have to figure it out for herself. Those who don't cause trouble, no matter how much I threaten them, I can't threaten them, right?" Yuan Ziyu said to Cui Ruxu and Cui Ruxun, "Cousin, cousin, let's go back. It's so suffocating sitting here. We might as well go back and have some tea and snacks!"
"good!"
Seeing Yuan Ziyou and the other two leaving with their maids, Miao Yin angrily slammed the table and said, "How arrogant!"
"That's right, all you can do is crack a whip? And now you're threatening people!"
"Yes, it's really rude and uneducated!"
…
This time, Meng Luoyi invited all the noble ladies with whom he had the best relationship. Therefore, after hearing Yuan Ziyu's words, they were all very angry.
"Miss Yuan, your sister is really..." Miao Yin gritted her teeth: "I really don't know what to say!"
Yuan Zitong had just been publicly humiliated by Yuan Ziyu and was secretly annoyed. When she heard Miao Yin's words, she looked aggrieved: "I can't do anything about it. You can see that she doesn't even pay attention to me now. Even my grandmother is much more indifferent to me now than usual."
"Ah, this is too much. To treat sisters from the same family like this is too vicious. What did they do wrong? Do you still remember it after all this time?"
"that is!"
Yuan Zitong lowered her head slightly and stopped talking, feeling secretly proud in her heart. She knew that in this world, even if one did not care about those empty reputations, the tongue could still crush people...
