Chapter 119
In the front hall, Zhao Yuan spoke very tactfully, but her tone revealed that the old lady was inhumane, ignored the descendants of the Hou family, was inhumane, and was disrespectful to the elderly.

This old lady in the Anyuan Hou Mansion has not been on the board of directors for more than ten years, and outsiders don't know much about it. After hearing this, most people think that the old lady is a bit too much.

It's okay to be rude on weekdays, but today Zhao Yuan went to invite her in person, why didn't she show up?
Does this mean that you don’t even want to maintain the superficial face?
Zhao Yuan was very happy. In fact, she didn't go to Fushou Hall at all, she just went in that direction, stayed nearby for a while, and then came back.

She didn't want to go to that old immortal and be rejected.

At this moment, she used all her life-long speaking skills to create a dilemma for her stepmother. Although she wanted to make friends with the old lady, she didn't want to see her. A good daughter-in-law who has shown filial piety to the younger generation.

Coupled with the support of several ladies who were good friends with her, the old lady's reputation was ruined even before she showed up.

But there are many more people who just listen and neither express opinions nor agree.

Zhao Yuan said: "The old lady doesn't want to come, so I respect her wishes. When the eldest lady comes out, don't let anyone feel that the eldest lady is not welcome because of the old lady's attitude. Both Mr. Hou and I love her very much." !”

"I don't want to come? So, you sent someone to invite me?" A calm but dignified voice came.

Then, at the door came a lady who was over fifty years old, accompanied by two nuns. Her face had wrinkles carved by time, her hair dyed with hoarfrost was combed meticulously, and her eyes with some crow's feet seemed to be insightful. The mystery of the world, the sharp and deep eyes, are the calmness that has experienced the ups and downs of life.Wearing a golden bun with eight treasures and beads, with a hairpin hanging just right, she wears a red satin narrow jacket with flowers and a hundred butterflies, and a multicolored engraved stone green and silver rat jacket.

Zhao Yuan's expression changed slightly.

This damn old woman didn’t send anyone to call her, why is she here?

Mrs. Chu glanced at everyone and said: "Every visitor is here for my granddaughter's return. I would like to thank you all on my granddaughter's behalf!"

The appearance of the old lady, who had not represented the Anyuan Marquis Mansion for so many years, made the air silent for a moment.Someone immediately reacted and exchanged greetings with the old lady.

More attention is focused on Zhao Yuan.

This person just said that she would go to invite him in person, but the old lady meant that she didn't go at all, and she didn't even send anyone to notify her.

Otherwise, when the old lady was asked in public, she would not dodge her eyes and look annoyed, but would defend herself.

Although the old lady has not appeared in large gatherings for a long time, it does not mean that others do not know her, especially the older ones. They come to say hello one after another. The old lady is kind and gentle, responding to everyone one by one. The atmosphere is relaxed and beautiful.

After everyone greeted them, the old lady said, "Hey, where is my granddaughter?"

"Grandma, I'm here!"

As if in response to her words, a clear voice responded with a smile.

It was Chu Baikui and Chu Nanning who came. The smile on Chu Baikui's face was stiff, but Chu Nanning smiled relaxedly. She went over to support the old lady in place of her mother.

Anyone who treats her well will be treated well in return!
As for Chu Baikui, forget it.

Chu Nanning's appearance attracted all the attention. After all, she was the protagonist of today's banquet and was Taifu Ye's niece.

However, many people were startled when they saw what she was wearing. It was too plain.She was wearing a light blue shirt without any embellishments, and there was only an emerald hairpin on her head. Although it matched the clothes very well, it looked like hibiscus growing out of clear water, as quiet as orchids in the deep valley.But on such an occasion, no matter how outstanding the person is, these clothes are too unattractive, right?

If it weren't for the girl's calm expression, calm and graceful appearance, elegant and graceful appearance, her clothes would have made her look petty.

It's hard for this girl to look so generous in such plain clothes.

Someone carefully commented: "Why is this eldest lady of the Marquis Mansion dressed like this? Isn't it too inappropriate to wear something so simple on such a festive day?"

Zhao Yuan, who had just lost face at the old lady's house, hurried over and said with a smile on her face: "Lan'er, it's a closet of clothes that mother prepared for you. Don't you like it? Why didn't you change it?"

She had to put her words first and not let others think that she, the stepmother, was reluctant to buy clothes for the daughter of her first wife.

Chu Nanning glanced at her with a clear gaze and said, "Looking at the clothes you are wearing, you also know how to appreciate aesthetics. You should know why I don't change, right?"

Zhao Yuan's heart sank slightly. This damn girl actually said it bluntly in front of so many people. She didn't care about the Hou Mansion's face at all, and she wasn't afraid of falling out with her at all.

But she is afraid!
She hurriedly said: "It's my fault. I left this matter to the most capable nanny around me. She may have thought that festive is the best and expensive is the best, and she didn't consider your preferences. I should I'll do it in person, how about I go with you tomorrow?"

Chu Nanning curled her lips and said, "As for the clothes I'm wearing, you can give me the cash to buy for myself!"

"no problem!"

At this time, the wife of the Crown Prince of Wei suddenly said: "I think Miss Chu's outfit is made of ancient brocade and soft cloud satin, right?"

Chu Nanning smiled and nodded.

Zhao Yuan's expression suddenly changed.

The antique brocade soft cloud satin, pigmented and fragile, is extremely expensive. One foot costs dozens of taels of silver. A piece of forty feet is enough to make a dress for her. It costs several hundred taels of silver. Only those with a fever would wear it.

Originally, it was none of this damn girl's business if she didn't change her clothes and made a joke, but she didn't expect that her outfit was much more expensive than the new cabinet she bought for Mingxia Garden.

The eyes of all the guests also changed. Those ignorant ones originally wanted to ridicule this person who was not dressed to impress, but they didn't expect that the clown was actually themselves!
The old lady glanced at Zhao Yuan lightly. From these few words, she could tell what Zhao Yuan's idea was?
As expected, you cannot expect a woman with a vicious heart to suddenly change her gender.

"Lan'er, come! Let grandma take a good look!" She held Chu Nanning's hand. In fact, they only met once at Taifu Ye's house, and they didn't even speak much, but who was sincere and who was fake? , Chu Nanning made a clear distinction.

She shook her hand back, showed a relaxed smile to the old lady, and whispered: "Thank you!"

The old lady was startled for a moment, then smiled, took Chu Nanning's hand and stood up, smiling and saying: "Dear guests, this is my granddaughter, the eldest daughter of the Anyuan Hou Mansion. She has been sensible and filial since she was a child. , Be cute, she has not been in the capital these years, I hope you will take care of her in the future!"

She smiled again and said to Chu Nanning: "My child, no one knew you before. Today I take this opportunity to say a few words!"

 Thank you to Yuluojiang North and South Piaoxue for the reward of 500 starting coins!Thank you thank you~~~
