Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Xiang Zhuang dances with sword, aiming at Pei Gong!

If you go to other wives' homes, there may not be so many girls, but who is there in the Li family? There is Li Yuyan, the son of the Li family, who has been known as a genius since childhood and is well known throughout Jinyun City.

Li Yuyan is fifteen years old this year and has not yet married. He learned to read at the age of two, studied seriously at the age of five, was proficient in the Five Classics at the age of ten, and won the title of student at the age of twelve...

If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the top three in the imperial examination and will be the youngest number one scholar in the Tang Dynasty from ancient times to the present. After that, he will wholeheartedly assist the Sixth Prince in achieving the throne of the emperor.

However, no matter what kind of person Li Yuyan becomes in the future, it has nothing to do with her, and she doesn't want to have any entanglement with him in this life.

Getting along with Li Yuyan was very brain-consuming. If she was not careful, she would be led by him. She didn't even know whether she was being used or she was using him.

"Miss Wei, why don't we go to the flower garden together? We can't help much here anyway." This time even the county magistrate's wife came with her daughter, who was Anxiang's previous owner, Miss Xie.

Xiao Bingyan actually wanted to sit here and watch how Mrs. Li and the others arranged everything.

However, there are many young ladies here today, and if she behaves too strangely, it will instead cause discussion among others.

He simply said goodbye to Mrs. Xiao, followed Miss Xie and the others, and appeared in the flower garden to chat with them.

Miss Xie's maiden name was Xie Shujing. With her family background, she was nothing compared to those young ladies. However, although she was willful and harsh to her servants, she was very knowledgeable in being accommodating and flattering to those of higher status than her.

Therefore, the interpersonal relationships in this circle of Shuai are quite good.

"Miss Wei, I knew you would come here. You don't recognize everyone yet, right? Let me introduce them to you. Come." As soon as Xie Shujing saw Xiao Bingyan, she immediately came closer in a familiar manner.

Since Xiao Bingyan had just arrived here, she was not very familiar with others. Even if she had met them before, they were just casual acquaintances and had never communicated with each other.

Regarding the subtle fragrance behind Xiao Bingyan, Xie Shujing just curled her lips slightly, pretending she didn't see it.

"This is the second daughter of Jiang Jingjie, the third daughter of Lin Tongzhi, the daughter of Xu Tongpan..." Xie Shujing introduced them to Xiao Bingyan one by one, and Xiao Bingyan replied with a smile.

These girls, who had long wanted to get to know Xiao Bingyan, returned her greetings with smiles on their faces.

"Hehe, Xie Shujing, when did it become your turn to act as the host here?" Before Xie Shujing could finish her words, she heard an extremely sharp voice coming from behind her.

Xie Shujing's face suddenly became gloomy, and a hint of resentment flashed across her eyes.

Everyone turned their heads at once, and Xiao Bingyan also looked over, and saw a young girl wearing a cherry-red middle coat with a beautiful patterned top embroidered with gold thread, and a flowery tube skirt running towards them.

The bright color made her look even more lively and pretty. She walked over with a proud look on her face, surrounded by several servants.

"Miss Chu." Seeing the newcomer, the girls, including Xie Shujing, all changed their expressions slightly and bowed their heads.

An Xiang quietly introduced the person beside Xiao Bingyan, "Miss, this is the second daughter of the Chu Marquis family."

Chu Xueying, the second daughter of Li Hou, had already appeared beside Xiao Bingyan. She raised her chin high and glanced at her with a squint, "Are you Wei Bingyan from the Wei family in the capital?"

Xiao Bingyan smiled gently and looked at her calmly, "I wonder if Miss Chu has any advice for me?"

"I don't have the courage to give you advice, but I want to remind you that you shouldn't lose face by getting too close to people of low status." Chu Xuying looked directly at Xie Shujing while she spoke.

Xie Shujing's face was gloomy, but she was helpless because Chu Xuying was the second daughter of Marquis Chu and the most spoiled one in the family. How could she dare to retort?

It seems that this Miss Chu and Xie Shujing don't get along well!

Xiao Bingyan smiled lightly, not caring at all to stir up their conflict, and gently brushed it off, "It's a rare occasion for everyone to get together today, why don't we find a place to sit down and talk?"

Before this, Chu Xueying had the most noble status among them, so no one dared to speak no matter what she said or did.

Xie Shujing, who was usually the most arrogant and willful, would only feel wronged when she was in front of her, but now it was different. The Wei family was already a natural aristocratic family of the Tang Dynasty, and the Chu family was only a second-class noble family compared to them.

With Xiao Bingyan around, who would still be afraid of her, Chu Xueying?

Xiao Bingyan did not respond to Chu Xueying's words, nor did she resist Xie Shujing, causing mysterious changes in others' hearts.

Xie Shujing looked at Xiao Bingyan with gratitude, thinking that she was supporting her, and then said in a very cheerful tone: "Miss Wei, I remember there is a bamboo pavilion in the Li family's small garden, why don't we go there and sit for a while?"

The nanny who was sent by Madam Li to serve the girls finally reacted at this time. She hurried forward and said to Xiao Bingyan and Chu Xueying with a smile: "Miss Wei, Miss Chu, the bamboo pavilion is nearby. Madam has asked for all kinds of delicious snacks to be prepared. Why don't you go over there directly?"

"Thank you for leading the way, Madam." Xiao Bingyan smiled faintly and nodded, her eyes looking directly at Chu Xueying.

Chu Xuying originally wanted to make friends with Xiao Bingyan, but when she saw that she unexpectedly ignored her because of Xie Shujing, her face turned very ugly.

If she hadn't thought that this was the Li family's home and that it was a rare opportunity for her to come in, she would have thought about leaving.

Everyone appeared at the bamboo pavilion and saw the snacks that had been prepared long ago.

So, they sat down and started talking soon.

Xiao Bingyan was not very familiar with what they were talking about and just listened from the side. Chu Xueying seemed to be disdainful of talking to Xie Shujing and remained silent.

"Mammy, do you know whether the young master of your family is at home today?" Suddenly, Xie Shujing turned around and looked at the maid who was serving on the side, and asked bluntly what many people wanted to ask in their hearts.

The people and customs of Jinyun City are more open than those in the capital, and they actually did not hide anything in trying to find out where a man was going.

However, Xie Shujing's nonchalant question made Chu Xueying look cold.

The maid was only slightly stunned for a moment before she smiled politely and said, "To answer Miss, our Master went out with his classmates today, and I don't know where he went."

Xie Shujing showed a helpless expression, and the other girls also sighed.

Chu Xueying rolled her eyes at Xie Shujing, "You are really shameless. You clearly know that Young Master Li doesn't like to see you, but you still dare to inquire about his whereabouts."

"Young Master Li never said he likes you!" Xie Shujing replied unhappily. If it were any other day, she would not have the courage to retort in such a stubborn manner. But today, with Xiao Bingyan here, she guessed that Chu Xuying would not dare to do anything either.

"Better than you. With your appearance, you still expect to be worthy of Young Master Li?" Chu Xuying glanced at Xie Shujing with contempt. In fact, their relationship was not so bad before, but both of them were in love with Li Yuyan, and they just felt annoyed when seeing each other.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Xiao Bingyan's eyes flashed with disgust, and she couldn't help but stand up and said to the nearby maid: "The desserts in your house are the best in the world. I ate too much just now. Now I need to walk around to digest. Maid, can I walk around in this garden?"

"Miss Wei, please feel free to do as you please. I will ask a maid to lead the way for you." The housekeeper said immediately.

"That's not necessary. I won't get lost in this flower garden, and this place needs people. Ma'am, there's no need to bother me." Xiao Bingyan said calmly.

"This... Miss Wei, please do as you please."

Xiao Bingyan nodded with a smile, and regardless of the fact that Xie Shujing and Chu Xuying were looking at her, she walked out of the bamboo pavilion with a faint fragrance and headed towards the flower garden on the other side.

Chu Xueying looked at Xiao Bingyan's increasingly smaller figure and snorted, "What's so great about that!"

In fact, this kind of scene of competition was not the first time that Xiao Bingyan had come across it.

In the past, at home, she would see her father's aunt secretly using all kinds of tricks to gain favor. Later, when she became a concubine in the prince's palace, she also had to face deliberate exclusion and slander from other female relatives.

Therefore, she was very disgusted with this kind of scene.

"Miss, a few days ago, the eldest son of Marquis Chu had a conflict with the young master of the Li family on the road. But looking at Miss Chu's expression, it seems that she is still unaware of this matter." Anxiang whispered behind Xiao Bingyan.

"Even if she knows, she won't show it." Xiao Bingyan said with a faint smile.

Anxiang concentrated and thought about it, then felt that it made sense and stopped talking.

The master and the slave walked half a circle along the flower garden.

The Li family's flower garden was large but not very big. Xiao Bingyan was not interested in it at all and did not want to watch the fun in the bamboo pavilion. After walking for a while, she said, "I wonder how Mrs. Li and the others are discussing. Let's go and take a look."

Just as I was about to turn around and walk back, I heard a man's voice coming from the other side.
