The young ladies and maids who were originally looking at the fabric all turned to look at Chen Xin.
The cloth shop was never short of women. When they had nothing to do, the women were always eager to chat. Today, they couldn't help but take a few more glances at this woman.
Chen Siyuan has a bad reputation; she's arrogant and domineering, and today that has come true. But Chen Xin, this famous talented woman from Nancheng, would she really steal her own things to pawn for the sake of the poetry gathering?
This seems quite inappropriate for a talented woman.
"What do you know? Don't talk nonsense here." Chen Xin's voice rose involuntarily as he spoke.
“Sister-in-law, there’s no need to rush to express your opinion. I was just saying.” She then kindly approached Chen Xin and whispered in her ear, “I have already reported the lost items to the authorities. I expect there will be news in the next few days. I hope that the person taken away will not be you. Otherwise, no matter how nice your clothes are, you will never have the chance to appreciate them.”
After giving her warning, Chen Siyuan left with her two maids.
Now, thanks to Aunt Zhao's tireless efforts over the years, Chen Siyuan has long lost her reputation. On the other hand, Chen Xin has been packaged so well that not a single rumor could damage his reputation.
Now... hehe...
It's probably over!
The two maids were delighted by the resounding victory.
Even after they had been out of the fabric shop for a while, their joy was evident on their faces.
The young lady is truly extraordinary; with just a few words, she managed to thoroughly insult Chen Xin.
What good is reading more books? How can I compare to a rich young lady?
However, they thought of a poetry gathering.
Logically speaking, this is a place where unmarried young ladies in the southern city should go. Would the young lady go there?
Thinking back to the scene of the young lady attending the poetry gathering a few years ago, they couldn't help but worry.
"Young Miss, will you attend the poetry recital tomorrow?"
Chen Siyuan thought for a moment, "Do you think I'm that kind of person with nothing better to do?"
A person is about to die; how can they have the leisure to go to such a place?
Chunping glanced at Chunlan, disapproving of her inability to speak properly.
Every year, the young lady looks forward to the poetry gathering, but this year she has changed a lot, and she may never have the chance to go again.
"Young Miss, the Wen family sent two boxes of clothes this year. Shall we go back and take a look?"
"What are you looking at? I'm rich now."
"What I mean is that there are many fun things to do at the poetry gathering, and we can go and have some fun."
"You're the one who wants to go, aren't you?" Chen Siyuan was still thinking about what kind of clothes to make from that piece of fabric.
Thinking of the styles she had seen in the capital in her previous life, she thought she could probably copy them. But when she saw the box Chen Xin was holding, she thought it couldn't be too similar, or it would cause her trouble later.
"Yes, this servant wants to broaden my horizons. If Miss doesn't go, then this servant... can't go either," Chunping said, sounding very aggrieved.
Chen Siyuan laughed and reached out to flick Chunping's nose. "Alright, I'll take you there, okay?"
"Miss Xie."
Chen Siyuan, accompanied by two maids, walked back to the Chen family home. On the way, she made a special trip to Su Ji's shop to buy some pastries to send to her grandmother.
There are so many upsetting things happening every day, I hope Grandma won't be too angry.
Chen Siyuan's thinking was simple; she originally thought that once she returned home, she would have peace and quiet.
She didn't want to send pastries to her grandmother, and was speechless after hearing what her grandmother said.
What?!
What are all these things?!
It seems that a poetry gathering has ignited the enthusiasm of everyone in the entire southern city.
They didn't spare her either when they got to her grandmother's place.
Grandma ate snacks and drank tea, her mouth never idle.
"Yuan'er, the poetry recital is tomorrow, you have to do your best!"
"Grandmother, please spare me!" Chen Siyuan immediately put on a bitter face. Was it really necessary to be so formal?
It's just some unmarried women and some men getting together.
To put it simply, it's about courtship.
Whoever performs well attracts the attention of many men, and ideally, several men will fight over one woman, thus demonstrating which daughter is more popular.
Does a woman really need a man's affirmation to demonstrate her value?
hehe--
That's what she used to think, but now, she's not acting impulsively, and she doesn't have that particular interest, so she'll just skip tomorrow's poetry gathering!
She cannot accept being called a silent woman.
So what?
She wouldn't be foolish enough to do things to please men, nor would she stoop to being like those peacocks that flaunt their feathers, revealing her most authentic self and exposing her ugly backside.
"Yuan'er, did you hear what your grandmother said?"
Chen Siyuan nodded.
You need to do your best tomorrow.
"Grandmother." Why is she getting more and more excited as she talks about it?
Chen Siyuan was speechless.
"As children of the Chen family, it's one thing if we can't bring honor to the Chen family, but we absolutely cannot bring shame to it."
Looking at her grandmother's expression, Chen Siyuan wondered why she felt it was absolutely necessary to go.
"Grandmother, are we really going?"
"certainly."
“But Grandmother, you know my abilities. Why would I go to that place and embarrass myself?”
"Shameful?" Old Madam Chen lovingly stroked her granddaughter's hair. "It's shameful not to go!"
"ah?"
“My granddaughter is smart now. Don’t you remember why you were so embarrassed at the poetry gathering?”
Chen Siyuan shook her head honestly.
"So you've forgotten everything your grandmother told you?"
Chen Siyuan tried to recall carefully, but these were things from many years ago, and she couldn't remember them for the time being.
After a long while, he remembered the times he had embarrassed himself at poetry gatherings, and then looked at his grandmother.
