Ruonan's eyes naturally aroused the curiosity of the three onlookers.
"Ruonan~After we left yesterday, do you have anything interesting to share with the sisters-in-law?"
Liu Wanyun spoke slowly, but the look in her eyes when she looked at Ruonan was urgent, her eyes sparkling, as if to say: Quick! Tell me all the gossip you know!
Ruonan smiled and said, "Nothing interesting~"
Zhang Xinyue said, "I don't believe it. If it wasn't a big deal, why did you look at Zhaodi like that just now?"
As she said that, she tickled Ruonan, "Come on, tell me and have some fun~"
Ruonan glanced over and saw that Zhaodi was still working on her painting seriously and didn't really listen to what they were saying.
As if she couldn't help scratching herself, she said in a surrendering tone, "Actually, it's nothing... nothing. It's just that... Madam Xie asked mother about Zhaodi's horoscope, and then... and then Miss Xie also said that they were holding a banquet in the mansion in a few days and invited Zhaodi to come and play..."
"So, I guess the Xie family sent someone to propose marriage and asked us to go to the front hall!"
"What did my sister say?"
Zhaodi's voice suddenly rang out, and she looked at Ruonan with a somewhat cold expression.
It's not that she couldn't hear what they were saying, it's just that it didn't involve her, so she didn't say anything.
Ruonan laughed, "Don't be shy, sister. You performed so well at the banquet yesterday, it's normal for someone to propose marriage to you~"
She had a joking look on her face, but her tone was inevitably a little sour.
She was the first one to wear the clothes given by her sisters-in-law yesterday. She sat there and was stared at for a long time, but in the end it was Zhaodi, the painter, who stole the show.
After lunch, many people came to invite Zhaodi. The young men all looked at her, and she was just a foil. She couldn't help feeling a little unfair.
Zhaodi's expression turned even colder. "It's okay for others to tease me, but you're my sister. Didn't Miss Lu tell us everything she knew about Mr. Xie? He's a scoundrel who indulges in alcohol and women and constantly stirs up trouble on the streets. How can he be trusted with your life?"
Ruonan didn't expect Zhaodi to react so strongly, and she stubbornly retorted, "That's what Miss Lu said, it's not necessarily true. Besides, didn't Mother say that most men are unruly before marriage, but once they're married and disciplined, they'll be fine. Look at Third Brother, isn't he an example?"
"If you think it's okay, tell your mother your idea, don't pull me in!"
Zhaodi no longer had the heart to continue painting. She threw her paintbrush on the table and said sternly, "Also, let me remind you, sister, these things are just between us sisters. Don't talk about them in front of outsiders, otherwise people will think that the daughter of our Shen family is so eager to get married that she doesn't mind any kind of character!"
After saying that, she walked towards the inner courtyard.
"Sisters-in-law, please go to the front hall first. I'll wash my hands and come back."
Na Ruonan was scolded by her sister, her face turned red, and tears instantly filled her eyes, "You... I..."
She wanted to step forward to stop Zhaodi and argue, but Zhang Xinyue held her back. "Hey, tell your third sister-in-law what shady things your third brother has done in the past?"
Ruonan blinked her eyes, holding back her tears, and looked at Zhang Xinyue with a guilty look on her face, "Third sister-in-law, I was in a hurry just now and said the wrong thing..."
She regretted it the moment she finished speaking. How could she say something bad about her brother in front of her sister-in-law? Wouldn't that destroy the relationship between her brother and sister-in-law? If her mother and her younger sister knew about it, she would be scolded again!
Zhang Xinyue wanted to force her, but was stopped by Liu Wanyun.
"Go back tonight and interrogate Shen Lao San!"
Then, she took Ruonan's hand and went to the front hall.
"Ruonan, come here and go with your sister-in-law."
As for Ruonan, Liu Wanyun felt that this girl was not a bad person at heart, but she was controlled by her mother in everything and was a little indecisive.
Influenced by her mother's thoughts and behavior, she is used to being humble and compromising.
But she could feel that Ruonan was also unwilling in her heart.
As long as he is guided well, he will become a good seedling in the future.
"Ruonan, let me tell you something: men are like clothes, and sisters are like limbs. Clothes can be changed, but limbs cannot be severed!"
"Look, your second and third sisters-in-law and I have such a good relationship. We can help each other with anything. You must not hurt the sisterly relationship because of a man's matter!"
"You know, after getting married, having a sister to visit regularly gives you something to look forward to. Otherwise, staying at home all day is so frustrating and uncomfortable!"
As they walked, Liu Wanyun taught her good sisterly ideas.
Guan Xiaoyu and Zhang Xinyue were laughing behind their backs.
When they arrived at the front hall, they found that it was not what they had expected at all, that someone had come to propose marriage.
The person who came was Shopkeeper Wu from Tianxiang Silk Shop!
As soon as I entered the hall, I felt that the atmosphere was very solemn, and Manager Wu looked very nervous.
It was obvious that he had already explained everything about how he had helped the young lady make clothes.
Mrs. Shen had a serious face and did not make any judgment.
After the five of them came in, she spoke, "Repeat what you just said to the young ladies!"
Shopkeeper Wu nodded respectfully and recounted the story.
"Today, four or five ladies came to the shop and wanted the clothes that the young lady had drawn. I thought the drawings were given by the young lady, so naturally I had to ask if we could sell them outside the shop."
It’s only been one day and someone has asked about it. This shows that women’s love of beauty should not be underestimated in any era!
Liu Wanyun was very happy. Now that her aunt had taken over the silk shop, she had taken another step forward.
