Wei Qingwan looked at Wei Ruo’s departing figure and was secretly angry. If she could obtain relevant information, would she ask Wei Qingruo? If she didn’t have any choice, she wouldn’t want to see Wei Qingruo’s face!

During these few days in the Prefecture, Wei Ruo hadn’t been able to find an opportunity to go to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant, let alone have a chance to talk to them about the things she wanted to talk about, so things were put on hold.

Three days later, on the morning of the garden party, Yun Shi took Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan out.

Wei Qingwan was specially dressed up, with her hair tied in the most popular flying fairy bun for unmarried girls nowadays. She was wearing a white coat and skirt, with a light pink collar on the outer layer. She also put on the pearl head ornament Yun Shi gave to her.

-flying fairy bun

In contrast, Wei Ruo’s attire was much more understated, with a casual hairstyle and only a few floral accessories on her head. Except she was wearing cloud brocade satin clothes that were more eye-catching than Wei Qingwan’s.

Yun Shi asked Wei Ruo, “Why didn’t Ruo’er wear the set of gold jewelry your grandmother gave you?”

-gold jewelry

“I forgot to bring it,” Wei Ruo replied casually.

In fact, she had brought it with her, in her ‘space’. She was just too lazy to take it out, and even lazier to wear it.

She likes gold, but she doesn’t like to wear it on her head.

Moreover, all the guests invited by the Prefectural Magistrate’s wife were from prestigious families. Even if she wore it, she might not earn much reputation. Everyone knew the current situation of the Wei family, and that fact couldn’t be covered by dressing up.

And she was not interested in fighting for such a reputation.

Yun Shi was a little disappointed when Wei Ruo answered like this, but she had no other choice since they had come to this point.

On the way, Yun Shi repeatedly reminded Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan, “The mansion we are going to today was built by Prince Huai for his beloved daughter, Princess Jingmin, also known as Mrs. Yuan. It is much larger than ordinary mansions. You must follow me closely and don’t get separated.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t run around,” Wei Qingwan obediently agreed.

“Yeah.” Wei Ruo also responded, but it sounded perfunctory.

“Ruo’er, be careful when you act later, don’t lose your manners.” Yun Shi specifically reminded Wei Ruo.

Because Wei Ruo had lived in the countryside before and had never been to such a mansion, the situation she would face later was probably not encountered before. So Yun Shi was afraid that Wei Ruo would show her carelessness.

“Yeah.” Wei Ruo still agreed somewhat nonchalantly.

Wei Qingwan then asked Yun Shi, “Mother, what will we do at the garden party today?”

“In fact, this garden party was mainly organized by Mrs. Yuan to help Mr. Yuan gained some favors from the people under his command. It was also a special opportunity arranged by Mrs. Yuan for various ladies and young ladies to get to know each other, and some even took advantage of this opportunity to meet their potential daughter-in-law.

Therefore, in addition to the ordinary garden tour, tea tasting and flower appreciation, there will also be some games of fenhualing. You just need to not make any mistakes.”

–fenhualing: a word game played to entertain people while drinking, and the loser had to drink a penalty drink. When playing Feihualing, you can choose sentences from poems and songs, but the selected sentences generally do not exceed seven words.

Even for Wei Qingwan, Yun Shi was worried, let alone Wei Ruo. So she only hoped that her two daughters would not make any serious blunder.

“Daughter knows, Mother, you can rest assured.” Wei Qingwan assured Yun Shi.

Yun Shi continued, “Also, Mrs. Yuan just gave birth half a year ago. I heard that her body is still a little weak. Don’t bump into her.”

“Daughter heard that she gave birth on her way back to Taizhou Prefecture?” Wei Qingwan asked.
