When the mother and daughter came home, Lin Wanniang immediately smiled and said, "Hurry up and change it for my mother to see."

You Ning obediently carried the clothes back to the room and changed.

When she came out again, she was a sight to behold. She had the appearance of a typical southern gentle beauty. The light blue dress on her body brought out her whiteness even more, and the high waistline highlighted her slenderness. She turned around in place, and a layer of tulle fluttered outside, as if she was a fairy who had fallen into the world.

She smiled at Lin Wanniang: "Does it look good?"

"Good! Good!" Wanniang said excitedly twice, walked over and took her hand and looked at her again: "My daughter has good eyesight, this dress really looks great on you."

You Ning winked at her: "Because I look like a mother, can I not look good?"

Lin Wanniang scraped her nose affectionately: "You can say it."

--------

Finally came the day of the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet, Lin Wanniang and You Ning handed over the post outside the gate of the prefect's mansion, and the servants of the prefect's mansion led them into the garden where the banquet was held, and then the servants left.

Since it is a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet, the most abundant ones in the garden are all kinds of chrysanthemums, white chrysanthemums, golden chrysanthemums, purple chrysanthemums, clustered ones, and single ones, each of which has its own merits and beauty.

You Ning was almost bewildered: "Mother, I've never seen this chrysanthemum before. It really deserves to be the prefect's family."

Lin Wanniang raised the corner of her mouth and was about to speak, when a mocking voice sounded beside her: "Poor ghosts who have never seen the world, I really don't know why the prefect's wife invited people like you, it really lowered the grade of the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet."

The mother and daughter frowned, and at some point there was a woman standing behind them, who turned out to be the one she met yesterday at the counter of the tailor shop, and Lin Wanniang also recognized the dress on her body, it was clearly the She didn't pay attention to the item that she asked about the price when she first entered the shop, but she actually bought it.

The man saw Lin Wanniang staring at his clothes, and immediately puffed up his chest: "What do you look at, this dress is only suitable for me as the daughter of the county magistrate, I think it's dirty even for a poor man like you. "

There are only three of them in this place, if Lin Wanniang thinks that she is not talking about herself, she will be a bit deceitful, but that person claims to be the daughter of the county magistrate, and the county magistrate is an official position second only to the prefect, and his daughter is not theirs. The wife and daughter of a small county literary graduate can offend.

Lin Wanniang didn't want to cause trouble for her husband, so she could only hold back her breath, took You Ning's hand and prepared to take her daughter out of this place.

But You Ning broke away from her hand, Lin Wanniang's heart skipped a beat, and she heard her daughter say: "No matter how poor the kind Cinderella is, she will marry the prince one day, and no matter how good the vicious step-sister lives, And because of jealousy, I cut off my toes to fit in the glass slipper."

The two people present were taken aback, what Cinderella?What glass slipper?

Although Juncheng's daughter didn't know what You Ning was talking about, it didn't prevent her from hearing the word 'jealousy' in You Ning's words. She laughed mockingly, as if she couldn't bear it: "I, jealous of you? Trouble You go back and find a mirror to take a look at, I'm jealous of you with your funeral attire?"

You Ning shook his head sympathetically: "Go back and read more books, then you may understand what I mean."

"Well said!" You Ning's words fell and there was a sound of applause from the side. You Ning didn't expect that there were other people present, looking for the sound, and saw the prefect's wife being walked around behind the rockery by her daughter-in-law He came over, followed by several ladies and ladies, obviously listening to what she just said.

You Ning was startled, but thinking of the praise just now, he forced himself to calm down, bowed his knees slightly and saluted: "You Ning has seen all the ladies."

The other two immediately followed suit.

"Excuse me, excuse me," the prefect's wife walked up to You Ning with a smile and stretched out her hand. Seeing this, her daughter-in-law, the young lady of the prefect's mansion, hurried forward to personally help You Ning up.

The prefect's wife looked at You Ning and asked: "I just heard you say about Cinderella's glass slipper? Have you ever read the "Story Book" sold in Qijia Bookstore?"

You Ning was slightly surprised, she nodded, and then asked curiously: "Has Madam read it too?"

"Of course I've read it," the prefect's wife showed off, "I stayed up all night and read it through when I got it, and I read it several times after that. The stories in it are so addictive."

Unexpectedly, he and the prefect's wife would read the same book, You Ning said happily: "Me too, I read all of them that day, and some of them were read several times."

The young lady smiled and said, "Who isn't? I can't wait to read while eating."

The three of them hit it off because of a "story book", but the daughter of the county magistrate who has been here but has been completely ignored has a bad face. When she took a few steps forward and was talking, she heard the prefect's wife say: "Hey, I can see that the clothes on you are somewhat familiar, as if you have seen them before?"

The young lady at the side said with a smile: "You really don't forget things too much, isn't this the dress you designed yourself? It has been hanging in the shop for several months and finally sold yesterday. You said, I don’t know which lady has such a good eye.”

The prefect's wife suddenly realized: "Yes, this is it." Then she glanced at her daughter-in-law proudly: "You still said it's not easy to sell, isn't there someone who knows the goods?"

"Yes, yes," the young lady said with an apologetic smile, "it's all because of my daughter-in-law's narrow vision."

After hearing what the two of them said, You Ning said embarrassedly: "I just think this dress is ethereal and elegant, and it looks a bit like Weaver Girl's Fei. Tian. Clothes."

"Well said," the prefect's wife praised: "It's different for talented women who read a lot. They don't want to write silently and don't love superficial people. Their minds are full of those bad things."

She was so scared that she fell directly to the ground.

As if she didn't realize it, the prefect's wife shifted her gaze to Lin Wanniang, and asked with a smile, "Who is this?"

Lin Wanniang bowed to her again: "Mrs. My name is Lin Wanniang. My husband's family is You Yuanliang, a scholar in the county. This is the youngest daughter, You Ning."

The prefect's wife suddenly said: "It turns out that they are relatives of Youzu Shi's family. The master once told me that Youzu Shishi has a lot of knowledge, so it's no wonder that you can cultivate such a talented woman."

You Ning was happier when she heard the prefect's wife praise her father than when she praised herself, but she still restrained herself and replied: "Ma'am, I'm flattered."

The young lady at the side said: "The chrysanthemum banquet has been prepared over there, mother, why don't we go over and chat while eating?"

The prefect's wife nodded and said to Yuning: "Will you go with us?"

You Ning immediately said: "It's Ning'er's honor."

The young lady turned her head and greeted the ladies and ladies behind, and she and You Ning went to the chrysanthemum feast with the two of them, one on the left and the other on the back. As for the one sitting on the ground, who is this?do not know.

The ladies in the back saw that the daughter of an unknown historian had a good conversation with the two wives of the prefect's family because of a book they had never heard of. You Ning is good-looking, and invited her to come to the house to try on her newly designed clothes in a few days.

The eyes of a group of people are red with jealousy. You must know that they made new clothes and jewelry for this banquet, and how much money they spent just to get into the eyes of the prefect's wife, is now being compared with a book. Oh, how can this make them reconciled!

Even after being seated, the young lady occasionally cared about whether their dishes were delicious, and the prefect's wife patronized and discussed the "Story Book" with You Ning.

A group of people's faces are Sui Yuejing and Yan Yan, but they are secretly determined to send someone to find the storybook of Lao Shizi, so as to find out what Cinderella and Peach Banquet are!

You Yuanliang left the office at the beginning of the evening, and when he returned home, he saw a lot of cloth and satin on the table, as well as a few plates of exquisite snacks. It seemed that these things were not bought by his wife and daughter. You Yuanliang was puzzled. asked, "Where did these come from?"

Lin Wanniang stepped forward to untie the crown for him, and said with a smile, "It was given by the magistrate's wife."

You Yuanliang was surprised: "Why did Madam send these?"

Knowing that he would ask, Lin Wanniang softly told what happened at the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet today, showed him the "Story Book", and sighed: "I just bought a miscellaneous book, but I didn't expect to vote for it." Ma'am." She also read this book after she came back, and it was really well written.

You Yuanliang didn't open the book when he got it, but just stared at the cover, Lin Wanniang asked doubtfully, "What's wrong?"

You Yuanliang traced a line on the cover with his finger, and said, "I was lucky enough to see Mr. Tang's painting, and the strokes on it are somewhat similar to this one."

"You mean..." Lin Wanniang was a little surprised, and then suddenly realized: "No wonder."

You Yuanliang nodded: "Even if this "Story Book" is not written by Mr. Tang, it has something to do with him."

He sat on the chair and opened the book and started to read. After reading an article, he closed his eyes, shook his head and thought for a while, and praised: "It not only writes the love that makes people yearn for, but also writes the noble qualities of loyalty and diligence. It’s not perfect but it can highlight the preciousness of friendship, good!”

Seeing his appearance, Lin Wanniang smiled. The father and daughter have the same temperament. Love books like life, and they are pure, kind and upright.

It's just that Ning'er lost face to the daughter of the magistrate at the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet today, and I'm afraid it will cause trouble. Just as You Yuanliang was about to read the next page, he heard a sigh from beside him. He looked up and saw Lin Wanniang standing there with a sad face. On the side, still holding his official uniform in his arms, You Yuanliang quickly put down the book and asked in concern: "What's wrong?"

Lin Wanniang told him her concerns, and You Yuanliang walked over and hugged her in his arms and said, "Don't worry, Wanniang, you don't understand the affairs of the officialdom. Jun Cheng's foundation was not stable when he first came here, and he belongs to the second prince, your lord has always been the most reluctant to participate in this kind of factional dispute, he can't do anything."

Lin Wanniang was worried after all: "But he is a county magistrate after all, I'm afraid he will be bad for your husband."

You Yuanliang comforted her and said, "I'm just a small county scholar. What can he do to me if I don't seek merit or fame? Just don't worry."

Lin Wanniang reluctantly felt relieved after hearing his words.

On the second day, You Yuanliang went to the yamen to meet Mao, and now he was greeted by many colleagues who were originally a transparent person. You Yuanliang knew that it was because of the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet yesterday, so he calmly nodded to them as usual.

Unexpectedly, a discordant voice sounded behind him: "So this is You Zushi? Let me see what kind of person raised such a delicate and clear daughter."

"Jun Cheng." "Jun Cheng." After greeting Jun Cheng, the officials on the side quickly retreated to the corner to prevent the fire from burning themselves.

You Yuanliang turned his head and smiled faintly at Jun Cheng: "Jun Cheng has won the award, but it just made her read a few more books."

The county magistrate's face changed when he heard the words, and he was about to get angry when a voice sounded at the door: "You Zushi is here, the eunuch is here to invite you."

When You Yuanliang heard the words, he paid a generous salute to the magistrate, and smiled with his lips curled up: "Excuse me, I'm sorry." Then he left with the guards who came to invite him.

Jun Cheng held his anger in his chest, blushed and yelled at the rest of the officials: "What are you looking at! Is the imperial court paying your salary just to keep you standing here? Don't go to work!"

The officials immediately agreed, and turned back to their seats, but when they turned their backs to Jun Cheng, they all had mocking expressions on their faces.

You Yuanliang met the prefect of Tang, and the prefect of Tang praised him: he is brilliant in writing, skilled in business, and serious in his work. Then he said that your immediate superior has reached the age of becoming an official, and you will fill the post of history of county literature when it becomes vacant. I believe you will be able to do it.

When You Yuanliang left the prefect's office, he was still a little flustered, and when he finally found his soul, he couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect that after being an official for so many years, he would be promoted because of his daughter.
