Chapter 96 Invitation to Wu'an Marquis's Mansion
Mrs. Fang acted quickly. After making the decision, she immediately went to visit the wife of Marquis Wu'an.
So, two days later, Shi Lidie received an invitation from Wu'an Marquis Mansion.
"Are you sure it's for me?"
Shi Lidie looked at the post in her hand over and over again, and then looked at the servant in front of her as if seeking confirmation, seeming to be very confused.
The book "The Fake Daughter Wins Without Any Effort" is set against the background of a palace feud.
Well, the various banquets held by the nobles in the capital were scenes where accidents were prone to occur, and the chrysanthemum-viewing banquet at the Wu'an Marquis Mansion was one of them, with many famous scenes.
As someone who is familiar with the original novel, she remembers it clearly——
The original owner had also been invited, but at this banquet, many noble ladies and wealthy young men, in order to help the fake daughter, tried to trip up the original owner, causing her to lose face.
Now, Shi Lidie had no intention of returning to the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery's mansion to fight, but the post was still delivered to her door.
Is the plot really so irreversible?
Or does she need to put in some effort to break Fang Ruoruo's halo as the heroine in order to change the plot and live according to her own wishes?
Just like in the previous book, she treated Song Miaomiao.
The servant who delivered the invitation came from the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion. He bowed to Shi Lidie and replied:
"Reporting to the Lord of Yun'an Township, this post is indeed for you."
"My wife said that the village master has just arrived and has not had any chance to show up in formal occasions. Many people in the capital have only heard of him but have never seen him."
"She invited you to the chrysanthemum viewing banquet this time, hoping that you would do her the honor of letting the people in the capital see the elegance of the village lady."
After hearing these words, Shi Lidie just wanted to applaud.
Beautiful! Really beautiful!
Regardless of whether these words were spoken by the wife of Marquis Wu'an or by the servant who delivered the invitation, they conveyed an attitude to the outside world:
The Wu'an Marquisate sincerely invites the Yun'an Township Lady to a chrysanthemum viewing banquet.
In this case, it would be difficult for Shi Lidie to refuse. If she didn't give her face, those powerful people would have plenty of ways to deal with her.
In the future, whether she wants to stay in the capital to do business or do something somewhere else, with the power of these powerful people, she may not be able to live in peace.
Therefore, for the long-term purpose, she had to go and see for herself what the Wu'an Marquis Mansion was planning.
Then she said to the boy:
"I've accepted the invitation. Please go back and tell your wife that I will be there on time for the banquet."
After hearing this, the servant bowed and left with satisfaction.
On the afternoon of the day she received the post, Shi Lidie returned to the capital and went to the Chen Mansion to ask Chen Shuting for news.
The potatoes on the imperial farm are currently growing well. With the presence of the Agricultural Affairs Bureau and the farmers on the farm, there will be basically no problem as long as those dandy second-generation rich guys don't trample on them on horseback like last time.
As far as Shi Lidie knew, those playboys were carried by the horses and galloped for three hours.
When they stopped, they were all exhausted, with blisters on the inside of their thighs and bruises on their hands from pulling the reins. In addition to Qiu Junhao who broke his leg, some who lost their grip on the horses also fell off the horses and suffered injuries.
At present, it seems that they will not want to ride horses again in the short term, and may even have psychological trauma when seeing horses.
So, Shi Lidie returned to Beijing with peace of mind.
When she arrived at the Chen Mansion, the doorman knew that she had a good relationship with the young lady, so he let her in immediately.
When I met Chen Shuting, she was also reading the post about the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet at Wu'an Marquis' Mansion:
"Shu Ting, did you receive it too?"
"But that's true. The noble ladies of your capital have always been the protagonists of this kind of banquet. Tell me what the chrysanthemum viewing banquet is all about."
Shi Lidie was indeed familiar with the original work, and could infer a lot of things through the descriptions between the lines of the original work.
But this is too much effort.
With Chen Shuting as a ready-made source of information, how could she not use it?
What's more, the original work mainly focuses on family feuds, and the descriptions of the chrysanthemum-viewing banquet are mostly about various conspiracies and frame-ups. It is rare to describe a banquet in its entirety.
Therefore, the best way is to ask Chen Shuting.
Chen Shuting pulled Shi Lidie to sit down, and asked the maid beside her to serve tea, and then she spoke:
"Even if you don't come to me, I will still come to you."
"The Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet was held under the pretext of appreciating chrysanthemums by the wife of Marquis Wu'an, who invited young men and women who were acquainted with each other or who were well-known in the capital to attend. In fact, it was an occasion for people to compete with each other for beauty."
"You won't spend the whole day admiring the chrysanthemums, so after the chrysanthemum viewing, everyone will enjoy a few activities at will."
"It can be tea tasting, flower arranging, pot throwing, or writing poetry or painting. Anyway, as long as everyone is interested and there are many people who agree, it will be the activity for everyone to pass the time."
"And this is also an opportunity for many young men and women to show themselves."
"Men and women with good reputations in the capital all become famous at these kinds of events. Such a good reputation can make it easier to find a partner in the future. It can be considered a blind date banquet in disguise."
"As a girl from an aristocratic family, although some people don't want to fight for these false names, in order not to lose face for the family and in order not to affect the family's reputation, you still have to do your best to deal with it."
"Because everyone's comparison of women began the moment they stepped into the gate of Wu'an Marquis."
"From your clothes, hair accessories, makeup, to your manners, demeanor, and talent, whether you can stand out from the crowd and gain a good reputation, you need to start preparing long in advance."
After listening to Chen Shuting's explanation, Shi Lidie felt that this chrysanthemum appreciation banquet was called chrysanthemum appreciation, but it was actually just an excuse.
I also feel that life was really not easy for women from aristocratic families in ancient times.
But she also understood why Chen Shuting was looking for her, so she asked:
"Do you want me to design you another outfit?"
"Xiaodie is the one who knows me best." Chen Shuting nodded with a smile. "When I was in Luoyun Town before, I asked you to customize the clothes for me. I have already worn them once. Although it is not a waste to throw them away after wearing them once, I will be laughed at if I wear the same clothes in such a formal and large occasion."
In the final analysis, it's nothing more than face, reputation, and those unfounded comparisons.
Sometimes it is not something that can be changed by one's own efforts. The main reason is that for hundreds of years, no matter how the dynasties changed, the families have been like this for generations.
Shi Lidie was not a native ancient person and had not experienced it, but she could understand it.
It's just that the times are beyond our control.
"No problem, give me your dress, and I'll draw up the design and have your embroiderer make it for you." Shi Lidie said, "But since you said that clothing and makeup are important, I have to make one for myself. In order to prevent the news from leaking, your embroiderer may have to work hard."
"What's the big deal? The Chen family has several embroiderers. It's not difficult to make two sets of clothes." Chen Shuting said, "Tomorrow we will go out and look around the Duobao Pavilion. I will help you choose two sets of suitable jewelry and headwear."
From ancient times to the present, people have always respected the clothes first and then the people.
If Shi Lidie's clothes were too plain, people who knew her would understand that she was not extravagant and just followed her heart, but some idiots might really laugh at her and cause trouble.
In order to avoid this from happening, Chen Shuting wants to cut it off at the source.
