Zheng Rongwan's eyes flickered and she said, "Okay."
True to Yunling's words, she picked up the hem of her skirt and stepped onto the escalator. She endured her fear and walked a few steps on it calmly.
When she came down, the annoying figure at the small door had long disappeared.
Although Qu Wanwan continued to stay here and there was no sign of success, Yunling still felt uncomfortable working here as she kept staring at him.
Fortunately, the person was finally sent away.
It would be best if she really believed that she was going to act tonight, and then the plan discussed by Yunling and her might go more smoothly.
Zheng Rongwan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Yun Ling gratefully, "Miss Tang, thank you. I'll leave it to you tonight."
Yunling nodded and warned again: "Miss Zheng, as soon as the banquet starts inside, you will send someone to notify me, and I will be ready here at any time. After you bring the people over, I will arrange the show. After the opening, you must remember to go to the back of this shelf, so that the subsequent plans will go smoothly."
Zheng Rongwan nodded and said solemnly: "I can do it. I'll leave the rest to Miss Tang."
She bowed to Yunling and walked slowly back to the county office.
Yunling looked at her back with some admiration.
Zheng Rongwan looked soft and weak, but she was the kind of person who would work hard after setting a goal. Even if the gift matter was blocked for the second time, she never gave up, especially this third time, she actually agreed. of her bold idea.
Brave, resourceful, resolute and decisive, such women were rare in ancient times. She believed that Zheng Rongwan would live a good life no matter whether he could successfully win Mrs. Zhao's favor tonight or not.
The good wind takes advantage of it and sends it up to the blue clouds.
And she, Tang Yunling, is willing to be a ray of wind for this girl.
The county magistrate's wife didn't want to celebrate her birthday in a big way, so she only invited some minor officials from the county, as well as some relatives and friends, and arranged a dinner, which was considered low-key.
But even so, the small gate in the backyard of the county government office was full of people coming and going. Various food, noodles, seasonal fruits, etc. were brought in. It was very busy and lively.
In the garden between the front yard and the backyard, a long curtain was erected to separate the men's and women's seats. The tables on the women's side were full of people, especially those with daughters of the right age at home, who went all out to go to the county magistrate's wife. Table for fun.
After the girls showed up to the county magistrate's wife, they were too embarrassed to listen to those words about whether they were married, so they all gathered around Qu Wanwan and talked, more or less flatteringly.
Although Qu Wanwan's family was of a young age, she was almost an ordinary citizen, and her grandfather, an old scholar, was the only one who could help her. However, she could not stop her from being raised by the county magistrate's wife since she was a child.
The county magistrate's wife only gave birth to two sons and no daughters, so she loved her very much. If she can marry the second young master in the future, Qu Wanwan can be regarded as half a sister-in-law, so it would be right to show some respect in advance.
And Zheng Rongwan on the side... is the biggest competitor of the girls.
The eyes of the girls flickered. No one took the initiative to talk to Zheng Rongwan, but their eyes always glanced at her unconsciously.
Quietly inquiring about her person, her face, and her clothes.
Mrs. Zheng was sitting next to the county magistrate's wife to keep her company, while Zheng Rongwan was sitting alone at the small table next to her, calmly waving the small fan in her hand.
He didn't care at all about those appraising eyes.
Hongmian was a little annoyed, "Miss, these people used to be friends with you, but today they all get together with Miss Qu. They are really snobbish."
"Silence, no need to pay attention to them."
These people are not worth the effort to make friends with.
Her eyes unconsciously fell on the big tree outside the wall, as if she could see the arrangement on the other side of the wall through the leaves.
Nervous and hopeful.
The sunset faded quietly, and the lights were lit in the county government office.
By this time, all the guests had arrived.
When the banquet begins, so does the show.
Before a few bites of the food were served, I heard a woman at the main table holding a wine glass saying: "Mrs. Zhao, today is your birthday. I wish you have this day every year, and this day every year, and stay young forever."
The ladies were toasting with wine and respecting each other. Someone suddenly said: "There are several girls here today, all of them are beautiful and smart. It is said that most of the girls gave the ladies things they embroidered by themselves. Why don't we give them their gifts?" Take it out for us to take a look? So that we can educate the children behind us in comparison with the intelligence and dexterity of these girls!"
"Yes, yes, I want to see it too."
It looks like the gift is fake, but I want to see which one Mrs. Zhao prefers is the real one.
Mrs. Zhao originally wanted to take advantage of this birthday celebration to choose a home for her second son, but she had many candidates in mind and could not make up her mind on which one to choose. Therefore, she did not object to the proposal and was even vaguely looking forward to it.
My son was admitted as a scholar at a young age, and he was handsome and elegant enough to match the daughter of a good family in this world.
It's just that getting married is a good thing between two surnames. When discussing the marriage, it requires a process of coming and going. Especially at this time, families with daughters are reserved, and even if they are intentional, they will not show too much. I really can't believe it.
It's better to take this opportunity to look at the gifts sent by the girls. If you are interested, you must prepare them carefully, and you can also get some clues from them.
Taking the opportunity to express your opinions to each other without telling each other avoids misunderstanding and offending others. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
"When you say that, I really can't wait." The county magistrate's wife asked everyone with a smile, "Then I will show you the gifts from each of the girls. Do you mind?"
Of course no one has an opinion.
Some people think they are good at embroidery, and some even wish for it.
"Wanwan, you have been so busy the past few days that you haven't seen anyone. Let's take a look at the screen you gave me. Auntie will see if your embroidery work has improved."
As soon as the county magistrate's wife finished speaking, someone moved an ebony screen in front of the banquet.
The ebony wood is precious, the texture is good, and the embroidery pattern on it is also quite satisfactory. The county magistrate's wife was very satisfied, "Wanwan, you have put your heart into it."
Qu Wanwan bowed obediently, "As long as my aunt likes it, I wish her eternal youth."
After saying that, she glanced at Zheng Rongwan at the next table with some pride. Seeing that he still had the same calm dead look, she sneered in her heart.
At this time, she is still acting like a noble person. Oh, don’t blame her for being rude.
Many embroideries were brought up one by one, some of them were mediocre in performance, but most of them were exquisite and made of high-quality materials. Soon, Qu Wanwan's ebony wood screen looked ordinary.
Seeing that all the embroideries were delivered and received praises from all the ladies, but no gift from Zheng Rongwan alone, Qu Wanwan felt proud again.
He regained his confidence again and asked in surprise: "Where's Sister Zheng's gift? Didn't you say that you spent a lot of time and effort preparing a good screen? Why haven't you put it over yet?"
