Chapter 171 The Truth
The lotus banquet the day after tomorrow was to announce his marriage to Lin Baotang.

He has reached the crown, and Lin Baotang has also reached the level.

There may have been some rumors about them before, but the two have never responded in person.However, it will be different after today, Lin Baotang will become his legitimate fiancee.

Soon, Lin Baotang will marry him wearing a phoenix coronet, bear children for him, and take care of housework.

Lin Baotang is gentle, knowledgeable and reasonable, making him a very suitable wife.He also once thought that he would like her.

Later he realized that he thought that way because he didn't realize at that time that a woman with a gentle temperament is actually like a glass of weak white water, tasteless at all.Just like ordinary life, the essence is actually just the process of growing crops, which is smooth and risk-free, and every process can be predicted.

Xiao Sheng didn't notice his abnormality, maybe he did, but he didn't take it to heart.

……

It was the third day in a blink of an eye.

This day, Yun Zhuo went out early, and changed into a crimson dress instead of the low-key and plain dress of the past.

She knew that the Xiao family had a simple population, with only two young masters, so even if she went to the Xiao family today to dress up so conspicuously, she would not steal the limelight from the master's family. On the contrary, it might make the master think that she valued this banquet, so So solemnly dressed.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of Huaijing Alley, and Yun Zhuo walked slowly towards Xiao's mansion, holding the corner of her skirt.

There were still many people's carriages blocked on the road, no one wanted to get off, they just wanted to wait for the carriage in front to reach the gate of Xiao's mansion, turn around and go back, and then their carriage moved again.

Yun Zhuo felt bored sitting in the carriage, so he took a step ahead.

She abandoned etiquette like this, and acted as she wished regardless, which reminded me of the scene in front of the palace gate in the past. The canopy chariots were blocked on the avenue according to the order of rank, unable to enter or retreat, but the princess was waiting in the palace in person. Inside the door, he ordered the personal maid to come and look for her.

All the strict etiquette, all the rules and regulations, were all trampled under her feet by herself, lawless.But it happened that this was the princess's order, even if they were secretly annoyed, there was nothing they could do.

But today she just went to the lotus banquet of the Xiao family, so it was not a big deal for her to act like this, but with the reasons of the past, it is inevitable that people will feel uncomfortable.

Perhaps it was caused by such a mood, the people waiting in the carriage gradually became restless and got out of the carriage one after another.

Of course, they are all just little girls. The older ladies hold their own status and disdain to do such a thing.

Lin Baojiang was sitting in the carriage, giggling and hugging her Mrs. Lin: "Mother, mother, why do all these sisters follow Sister Yun? I also want to play with Sister Yun!"

A group of noble ladies wanted to show their proper manners, they all walked gracefully and behaved lightly, even talking to their own maidservant in a soft voice.

Lin Baojiang was young and didn't know how to cover up. The sudden child's voice quickly set off a wave among the noble girls. They raised their eyes to look at Yun Zhuo who was walking in front, and then looked down at themselves. Aren't they just like maids? Do you also follow behind her!
What is this called!What a mistake!

The girls felt remorse and annoyance in their hearts, but wouldn't it be even worse to go back to the carriage at this time?

The lesser of two evils is the lesser of two evils. Even though their hearts are not smooth at the moment, they still do not waver and continue to walk on the laneway paved with bluestone slabs. Obstruction, really is extremely uneducated!
Lin Baojiang didn't know what he said wrong, why was her mouth covered by A Niang, she blinked her eyes, looking very innocent.

Lin Baotang looked amused, and said softly: "Mother, please let A-Jiang go, she is also childish."

What's more, the younger sister is telling the truth, these noble ladies walking behind Miss Yunsi really look like maids.

She is indeed such a dazzling person, wherever she is, any kind of person can only be reduced to a foil, even the sky, clouds and shadows, misty rain, can only be eclipsed.

Today is a good day for the eldest daughter. Mrs. Lin didn't want to spoil her interest, so she obeyed her words. After she said this, Mrs. Lin put down her hand and said softly to Lin Baojiang: "If your sister didn't intercede for you , I will not spare you so easily. How did I tell you before?"

Lin Baojiang said obediently: "You must be cautious in your words and deeds, and keep your mind." This is the family motto of the Lin family, and it has been countless generations, but Lin Baojiang heard from his father that the descendants of the Lin family have never been able to read. From the beginning, the first thing to learn to write and memorize is these eight characters.

After she finished reciting, she quietly glanced at the elder sister who was sitting beside her, their eyes met in mid-air, she stuck out her tongue and made a grimace.Lin Baotang was amused by her, so in order not to let his mother notice, he turned his head and pretended to look at the pattern on the car curtain.

Mrs. Lin had already finished talking about these eight words. Lin Baojiang listened listlessly with his head drooping, feeling very regretful for his extra words just now.

She didn't dare to ask her mother, can she not tell the truth if she is cautious in her words and deeds?I had to keep this question deep in my heart and leave it for later.

When Yun Zhuo arrived at the Xiao Mansion, the maid in charge of escorting looked at the battle behind her, and was secretly startled. Obviously, like Lin Baojiang, she regarded these noble girls as Yun Zhuo's hugs and treated Yun Zhuo very carefully.

When all the people arrived at the evening boat courtyard where the banquet was held, they scattered in all directions, leaving only Yun Zhuo standing gracefully beside the lotus pond.

No one wants to be with her.No one wants to be easily compared to her in the makeup and dresses he carefully selected before going out.

Yun Zhuo was also happy to be alone, and was about to take a good look at what kind of lotus was planted in the pond, but suddenly felt that one of her legs was being imprisoned by a pair of small hands. She looked down and found that it was the little radish of the Lin family. So he leaned down and asked her, "Why is little Ajaan here?"

Lin Baojiang whispered in her ear: "Sister Yunzhuo, I just saw it, you are so majestic!"

Yun Zhuo knew that she was talking about the noble ladies following her just now. Although she didn't know why they followed her, she didn't refute Lin Baojiang's words. Instead, she touched her black and soft hair: "But Such a majestic elder sister Yunzhuo will also squat down when she sees our cute little A-Jiang, doesn’t it prove that the little A-Jiang is even more majestic than elder sister Yunzhuo?”

Lin Baojiang nodded sweetly, and asked her again: "I have something I don't understand. Auntie said that Sister Yunzhuo is very smart, can you tell me?"

"Ok?"

"Does being cautious in words and deeds mean that you can't tell the truth?" After finishing speaking, she hesitated for a while, and told Yun Zhuo what happened in the carriage.
