Chapter 374: We can’t let her Xingxing stand there all the time!

Cen Yueyi also walked in a very proper manner, with an upright posture, and the guards hanging around her waist walked smoothly and steadily.

Nie Ling'er and Nie Yan'er looked at Cen Yueyi with envy: "Sister Cen, you are really good at etiquette."

Mrs. Zhao was not very satisfied with their etiquette and said that she would hire an etiquette nanny for them after the New Year.

As the sunlight shone through the garden, the paleness on Cen Yueyi's face finally faded a little. She smiled and said, "My two sisters are just young... When I was your age, I was also a naughty kid."

Nie Ling'er and Nie Yan'er didn't believe it, but they thought Cen Yueyi was comforting them, so they naturally accepted Cen Yueyi's kindness and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Sister Cen is really nice."

Cen Yueyi pursed her lips and smiled, without saying anything more.

Xing Xing picked a vacant seat for the four of them to sit in the corridor where the beauty was leaning against to rest, and asked Cen Yueyi in a low voice: "...Sister Cen, are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

Cen Yueyi obviously didn't know how to face Xing Xing, her eyes slightly avoided: "No, no..."

Before Xingxing came, she knew that the wife of the Minister of War was probably thinking of acting as a matchmaker.

However, just now, when the little ones were about to leave the flower hall, Cen Yuehua found an excuse to stay in the flower hall, and her mother, the wife of Marquis Jiang Tai, and the wife of the Minister of War looked indulgent - Xingxing was very smart and understood it immediately.

It turns out that the person the wife of the Minister of War wanted to tell her older brother was Cen Yuehua!

Xing Xing couldn't help but puffing out her cheeks.

Isn't this just random guessing?

Xing Xing saw that Cen Yueyi looked reluctant, so she simply sat over and whispered, "... Sister Cen, my elder brother told my aunt yesterday that he has someone in his heart. But my aunt had already accepted the invitation from the wife of the Minister of War, and originally thought of declining it today and coming to see Sister Cen tomorrow..."

Cen Yueyi understood what Xingxing meant and her face turned red all of a sudden.

She obviously didn't expect this to happen. She was a little confused and her words were a little flustered: "This... this..."

Xing Xing pursed her lips and smiled.

Nie Ling'er and Nie Yuan'er didn't know what Xing Xing and Cen Yueyi were whispering about, but when they saw that the dignified and beautiful Sister Cen's cheeks suddenly turned red and she looked a little dazed and at a loss after being frightened, they both stared at Cen Yueyi curiously.

Cen Yueyi became increasingly uneasy.

Xing Xing saw that Cen Yueyi's cheeks were rosy at this moment, and thought, it seems that there is no need to check Sister Cen's pulse, Sister Cen looks very good now!

Cen Yueyi sat outside with her three children for about half an hour before a maid came out and said with a smile that the banquet was about to begin and asked the young ladies to go back.

When the four of them returned to the flower hall, it was bustling and noisy.

Cen Yuehua was sitting near Li Chunhua in a coquettish manner, talking to Li Chunhua about the latest fashions in the capital, and they looked very intimate.

Cen Yueyi pursed her lips.

She noticed that her sister Cen Yuehua was sitting in the chair that was previously occupied by Xing Xing.

Cen Yueyi couldn't help but look at Xingxing.

Xing Xing was also stunned.

There was only one chair placed between my aunt and my second aunt, and then there were chairs for my two younger sisters, Nie Ling'er and Nie Yuan'er.

As for the chairs where Madam Jiang Taihou and her friends were sitting, they were on the opposite side.

It wouldn't be good if she went to sit with the wife of Marquis Jiang Tai, right?

Bai Xiaofeng obviously noticed this as well. She glanced at Xing Xing who was standing there in a daze. Her smiling face froze for a moment and she subconsciously looked at Cen Yuehua.

But Cen Yuehua was currently telling Li Chunhua about a funny story about how she was unwilling to give up even though her hands were rubbed raw by the strings when she was learning the piano. It was clear that she was speaking with great enthusiasm.

Bai Xiaofeng couldn't help but frown slightly.

According to her usual temper, she would naturally ask this useless young lady from the Marquis's Mansion to get out of here.

But... the Minister of War seems to have a higher official rank than Huai'er. She feels good when she loses her temper, but what about Huai'er?

But, we can't just let her baby Xingxing stand there all the time!

Unfortunately, at this moment, her stubborn sister-in-law didn't realize that the young lady from the Marquis's Mansion named Yuehua was demonstrating her unyielding good character. She actually thought that she was just chatting with her about daily life and interesting things, and she was listening there foolishly.

Bai Xiaofeng could hardly hold back the urge to poke her sister-in-law.

At this moment, Cen Yueyi suddenly smiled and said, "Sister Yu, I see that the bracelet on your hand has a very unique pattern. Can you please come over and let me see it?"

As she spoke, Cen Yueyi naturally pulled Xingxing to sit next to her, which was Cen Yuehua's original position.

Mrs. Jiang Taihou's attention had always been on her own daughter, Cen Yuehua. When she heard Cen Yueyi's voice, she was stunned.

Mrs. Zhao reacted quickly and looked at Cen Yueyi with approval.

An embarrassing situation was thus resolved by Cen Yueyi without a trace.

Madam Zhao smiled and said, "Dong'er also thought Xingxing's bracelet was pretty before, and now Yueyi also likes Xingxing's bracelet, which shows that Xingxing's bracelet is really good. It aroused my curiosity... Xingxing, can you let me take a look?"

Xingxing naturally wouldn't refuse.

She stood up, took off the bracelet from her wrist and handed it to Mrs. Zhao.

Cen Yuehua also reacted and said, "Aiya," as if she had just woken up from a dream: "Sister, you are back. Is it time for dinner? I was so engrossed in chatting with the ladies that I forgot the time."

Having said that, Cen Yuehua naturally stood up and walked to the chair on the side of Jiang Taihou's wife, giving up the seat that originally belonged to Xingxing.

Mrs. Zhao took Xingxing's bracelet and looked at it for a while, praising it, "It's really unique." Then she remembered something and said to the maid beside her with a smile, "I think there is a pair of earrings in the second layer of my dressing table. The twig pattern on them is similar to the one on this bracelet. Go and take them out, and I'll do a favor and make a pair for Xingxing."

The maid took the order and brought back the earring.

Xingxing accepted the earrings and thanked him generously.

Everyone strives to be natural and not awkward.

Bai Xiaofeng couldn't help but glance at Li Chunhua again, and found that her silly sister-in-law was now happily being polite to the wife of the Minister of War: "...I'm sorry for your expense."

Bai Xiaofeng sighed helplessly.

Fortunately, there were no other incidents during the rest of the banquet.

Although Li Chunhua and Bai Xiaofeng came from the countryside, Ah Wu took them to correct the etiquette a few days ago. In addition, they had held banquets in their house before, so naturally there was no mistake at all for this small banquet.

Just after the banquet, when the Yu family was about to leave, Mrs. Zhao took the initiative to invite Li Chunhua and the others to go to the Buddhist temple outside the city to burn incense in two days.

Li Chunhua looked embarrassed: "...I'm afraid it won't work. I'm afraid my family will be busy these days."

Mrs. Zhao asked enthusiastically, "What are you busy with? If there is anything I can help you with, just tell me."
