When Song Tian came back, she saw Xie Yunzhe feeling aggrieved and about to get angry again.

She quickly asked for some details about attending the noble banquet.

And asked about some precautions and basic etiquette.

This is how we got rid of this great resentment.

On the day before the announcement of the results, Song Tian was going to attend the flower-viewing banquet at the Marquis' Mansion.

Because Xie Yunzhe had to prepare for the upcoming palace examination, he had to study hard at home.

“The Marquis’ Mansion is hosting a flower-viewing banquet, and many noble ladies from aristocratic families are gathered here today.

Some people think highly of themselves and take advantage of their prominent family background, and do not take their wives seriously.

If you go there, it would be equivalent to selling out the face of the Lu family's legitimate daughter. If you can hide there, try to hide.

Just find someone you can talk to, and don't mind if no one talks to you.

When I enter the court as an official, my wife will have someone to rely on, and she won’t have to look at the faces of those people anymore.”

Xie Yunzhe watched Song Tian getting ready, and gave her careful instructions with great concern.

Song Tian agreed one by one:

“Yeah, I know all that.

After arriving and paying my respects, I will find a quiet place to stay and avoid crowded places."

Song Tian just wanted to see what the stunningly handsome second male lead looked like.

It didn't offend the heroine either.

That's it.

Xie Yunzhe was still worried, and hesitated for a long time before persuading him:

"My wife and Liang Cen...

It’s best not to get too close.

Although we have acknowledged each other as sworn brothers, there is still a difference between men and women, and…"

He came over and helped Song Tian put on a pearl flower.

I dare not say anything too harsh.

"People's words are scary. My wife is already married, and if she continues to be so close to another man...

It can easily lead to misunderstandings.”

Song Tian glanced at him in the mirror.

Xie Yunzhe immediately regretted saying this.

I think my wife just happened to see him being very close to Princess Jiarou before, and she didn't say anything.

Now he has no substantial evidence, but he still has to give a reminder.

At once……

Quite ashamed.

Song Tian thought about Liang Cen's plan to become the richest man in the world with her.

Then think about it, in the original book, Xie Yunzhe was supposed to be a cruel and heartless person.

I couldn't help but laugh at myself.

"I just said it casually. If you think what I said is wrong, don't take it too seriously!"

Xie Yunzhe couldn't understand his wife's smile.

In fact, ever since he came to the capital, he found it increasingly difficult to understand what his wife was thinking.

This feeling of being lost often made him feel anxious.

"My husband is right. I will pay attention to it next time."

Song Tian readily agreed, put on a pair of small pearl earrings, stood up and left with Bai Zhi.

Today she wore a lilac embroidered floral skirt with a moon-white cloud-patterned double-breasted top.

Elegant and dignified without being too outstanding.

It suits her status just fine.

Liang Cen specifically asked her to bring Bai Zhi with her.

As the smartest maid in the Liang family, she knew a thing or two about the noble ladies of various families in the capital, and could remind them from time to time during the flower-viewing banquet.

The carriage stopped outside the gate of the mansion.

What Song Tian didn't expect was that as the host of this flower-viewing banquet, the Marquis's daughter, Lü Wanying, actually came to greet her in person at the door.

This attracted the attention of the young men and ladies coming in and out.

“Who is this?

Such a big honor actually requires the future Crown Princess to personally welcome her?"

A noble lady passing by couldn't help but murmur in a low voice.

"I heard that he is the owner of a hot pot restaurant that has been very popular in Beijing recently. His surname is Song."

People who have been to Tiantian Hotpot City recognized Song Tian.

“Hot Pot City?!

How can a businessman like Lu Wanying be worthy of showing up in person? "

Some people can't understand.

"Hey, you don't understand this.

Although businessmen do not have a high status, they are rich.

I haven’t heard that that hotpot restaurant has opened a branch in Beijing!

Although the eldest daughter of the Lu family is going to marry into the Eastern Palace, our Crown Prince has a weak foundation and the Queen died long ago.

She is trying to curry favor with a businessman in order to seek financial support for her future husband!"

"Why?

More than that!

It seems that the husband of this Miss Song is a scholar, and is a favorite to become the top scorer in the imperial examination this year.

She works so hard, maybe she is trying to find someone for her husband."

It is said that there is no simple person among the children of aristocratic families.

Now the battle for the throne between the Third Prince and the Crown Prince has been laid bare, and everyone who understands will understand.

After such a short while, I have already guessed most of the things.

Song Tian was somewhat uncomfortable with the heroine's enthusiasm.

Did Lu Wanying fail to conquer Liang Cen and instead turn her target to her?

But she just opened a restaurant, which is completely different from the Liang family, which has been a royal merchant for generations and has a strong foundation!

"Ms. Lu, I am extremely grateful that you can invite me to the flower viewing banquet.

But as the organizer of the banquet, Miss Lu must be very busy, so she doesn't have to accompany me all the time."

She tactfully indicated that she could leave.

However, Lu Wanying still held her arm enthusiastically.

"Why?

The banquet was organized by the servants at home, so I had nothing to do with it.

Besides, ever since I met Madam Song, I have felt that I have a special affinity with you.

I finally have the opportunity today, so naturally I want to be closer to you.

Although Wanying was born in a marquis's mansion, she had neither an official rank nor an imperial edict, and her status was no different from that of Madam Song.

You don't have to call yourself a commoner. Let's call each other sisters, how about that?"

Song Tian felt a little uncomfortable.

Why doesn't she feel that the two of them get along well?

He probably wanted others to think that Xie Yunzhe was already a disciple of the prince by parading her through the streets like this.

"Miss Lu is a daughter of heaven. I am just a commoner, how dare I call myself a sister to the daughter of a noble and honorable Marquisate!"

Song Tian quickly broke free from her arms and hid behind.

She didn't dare to marry into this family.

Lu Wanying's expression changed.

I was a little angry, but I quickly calmed down.

“In this case, I won’t hide it from Madam Song.

I treat you this way because I have other intentions."

Seeing that one approach was blocked, Lu Wanying changed her strategy.

“Although I am the daughter of a marquis, and will soon marry into the palace and become the crown princess.

However, there is no one to rely on.

It would be better to be like Madam Song, to be self-reliant, have your own business, and not rely on others for anything."

She stepped forward again and held Song Tian's hand.

"I want to cooperate with Madam Song and open a few shops to support myself.

It doesn’t matter how much profit you make, as long as you have a way out for yourself when no one else can rely on you.

Would you be willing to help me?"

Song Tian immediately thought of the grain shop business she had wanted to do with Liang Cen.

This really treats her as a backup.

"I am terrified and afraid that I will disappoint Miss Lu.

I don't have much ambition. I just want to take care of these two hotpot restaurants.

It's enough to earn enough money to live on, I really don't want to bother with anything more.

If Miss Lu is interested in investing in a restaurant, I would naturally welcome it, but if it is another business.

Song Tian didn't understand and didn't plan to take any risks.

Miss Lu, please seek help from someone else."

The rejection was obvious enough, but Lu Wanying still didn't give up and kept pulling her to persuade her.

Song Tian quickly changed the subject:

“When I was in Fenglin, I heard that the mansions of the rich and powerful in the capital were as big as manors, even bigger than the largest vegetable garden in our county.

Now that I see it, it is indeed true.

If you ask me, this is comparable to the rice fields of the entire village.

This is the first time I have seen such a beautiful orchard. Can I... go in and take a look?"

She pointed at the tracts of green peach blossoms in the mansion and showed an exaggerated look of envy.

It’s similar to when Granny Liu entered the Grand View Garden.

Lu Wanying finally sighed.

Is she really too worried?

Is she really a village woman who has never seen the world?
