Transmigrating into the book: The daughter of the Shen family is too arrogant

Chapter 148 Forget it

Qi Yao was not to be outdone, "Okay, if she can solve this problem, I will also become her disciple and admit that she is better than Du Ruxi and is truly the most talented woman in Jinling Prefecture!"

Today, Madam Nan Rong's birthday banquet was attended by the daughters of all the prominent families near Jinling Prefecture. If one could stand out among these women, her rank would be many times higher than Du Ruxi's position as the most talented woman in Jinling Prefecture. Du Ruxi only had her own talent and beauty, but the woman who stood out today had the power and wealth of an aristocratic family behind her, a noble status, and amazing talent. How could a mere teacher's daughter compare to her?

To put it bluntly, there are many women with stunning beauty and talent in the brothels, but they are just beauties for men to play with. How can they marry into a prominent family openly and become the young lady of a mansion, or even the mistress of the house in the future?

The people present looked at Du Ruxi, whom Qi Yao mentioned, with some disdain. How could a woman of such low status be compared with them?

Qi Yao and Wei Xue were shouting at each other, neither of them willing to give in. Shen Qingyu found this scene funny, and she really couldn't afford these two disciples.

The time is coming soon.

Some young ladies from aristocratic families simply gave up. Who could possibly decipher such a difficult painting or poem?

The most important thing in painting is the heart. If you want to continue a half-painted work, you have to do it without leaving any trace. Apart from the painter himself, who else can understand his mind and follow the painter's painting style, painting it stroke by stroke?

Isn't this really just making things difficult for them?

"Mrs. Nanrong, I think no one can solve this problem. Why don't we try another one?" Shen Ruyan saw that Mrs. Nanrong looked anxious and stepped forward to smooth things over.

Mrs. Nan Rong was delighted when she heard this, as it was exactly what she wanted. She was about to agree, but the maid beside her deliberately coughed heavily at this moment.

"Madam, I don't think it's the last moment yet, how can we give up so easily?" The maid whispered to Madam Nan Rong, "The old master said that we must let all the young ladies from the noble families present here give it a try. The young master's marriage can't be delayed any longer, otherwise something bad will happen."

"Then the rice paper, brushes and ink for painting were delivered to the young ladies of various noble families, weren't they?"

Madam Yun was suspicious, thinking that this servant must be taking advantage of the old master to bully her. That old man was still clinging to the power of the Nanrong Family and refused to let go at such an old age. If the master was in charge of the Nanrong Family, then she, Madam Nanrong, would not be the one like she is now, Madam Nanrong who seemed to be in a good position on the surface but actually suffered a lot of humiliation in the mansion.

The maid looked around and found that just as the lady had said, in front of the seats of the young ladies from various noble families, there were brushes, ink, paper and inkstones for painting.

"I will go ask again. Please wait a moment, Madam."

The maid hurried to the bamboo curtain and whispered to the person behind it.

There was still silence, and then an indifferent voice came from behind the curtain. Although the voice was lowered as much as possible, it was full of unquestionable majesty and a bit of gnashing anger, "She...will."

Following the gaze of the person behind the curtain, the maid saw a woman in plain clothes sitting at the last seat, with her eyes slightly closed, lazily leaning on a rosewood chair. Her face was indifferent, as if everything around her was indifferent to her. She just sat quietly in that inconspicuous corner without saying a word.

It turned out to be the second young lady of the Shen family.

If she really could, she would be a calm woman indeed. Although her appearance was ordinary, her demeanor was calm and composed, not inferior to any young lady from aristocratic family present. The maid's eyes, which had experienced many vicissitudes of life, were suddenly no longer turbid, but became clear.

"Young Master, don't worry. I will go and invite that young lady right away."

The maid smiled. Although she did not see the expression on the young master's face at the moment, she knew that the thin-skinned young master must have blushed and was angry and embarrassed.

However, before the maid left, the person behind the curtain spoke up to stop her.

"Never mind, maybe she won't like it."

The voice was faint, yet revealed a hint of helplessness.

The maid was confused, but when she saw that the person behind the curtain had stopped making any sound, she gave up.

Mrs. Nan Rong was pleased to see that the maidservants stopped trying to stop her. She knew that if even her niece Liang Lan couldn't handle it, who else could draw it?

Madam Nanrong originally thought that letting her niece Liang Lan marry into the Nanrong Mansion would help her, but after seeing Madam Liang's attitude just now, Madam Nanrong instantly changed her mind.

It seems that Shen Ruyan is sincere in getting married today. If she has a marriage relationship with the Xiao family, then with her identity as the wife of the Suzhou prefect, she will be much more useful than her elder sister-in-law, Madam Liang.

She has three daughters, and they must marry into a powerful family in the future. It would be best if they could marry into a family of officials. I heard that Mr. Xiao Qi, the son of Shen Ruyan, is also a handsome man, and his reputation is not inferior to Yan'er.

As Mrs. Nan Rong thought about it, she realized that her daughter was about to get married. If her eldest daughter could marry Xiao Qingye, the seventh son of the Xiao family, it might be a good match.

"Since no one can decipher this painting, I will do as Madam Xiao said. I will decide..." Madam Nan Rong followed the excuse given by Shen Ruyan. Just as she was about to give up, she heard the sound of cups and glasses falling to the ground and breaking.

The banquet was originally silent, with only Madam Nan Rong's voice being heard. But now, the crisp thud of a cup falling to the ground from the last seat was too harsh and too ostentatious, causing all the ladies and young ladies from the noble families present to look towards the last seat at the same time. However, no one noticed that the bamboo curtain, which had been hanging still, began to sway slightly at the touch of the person behind it.

"Shen Qingyu, what are you doing?" Shen Xitong was really pissed off by Shen Qingyu today. She didn't get any benefits, but instead lost face here.

"It was a slip of the tongue. Sorry."

Shen Qingyu smiled innocently, her clear eyes were bright and clear, and when he met her eyes, it seemed that all the dirty and obscure things could not escape her sharp eyes and nothing could escape.

It was obviously just an extremely ordinary face, but because of her eyes, at this moment, it suddenly seemed bright and gorgeous. Her clear eyes were filled with a smile, but the smile did not even penetrate into her eyes. She was dancing in plain clothes and walking gracefully. There was an indescribable demeanor and charm. If we measure her by the beauty or ugliness of her appearance, she would appear vulgar.

Shen Qingyu endured the pain in her knees and moved slowly, but this time, she walked very steadily.

Shen Xitong's face was full of surprise. She couldn't figure out what this little bitch Shen Qingyu was trying to do.
