A Blessed Wife At Home Chapter 997: A kind wife
But the whole process didn't last long. Soon, her smile faded and she raised her hand reservedly.
Why doesn't Qiao Xuan understand such an obvious and abrupt change?
Even after saying hello, Mrs. Lin did not take the initiative to introduce the other ladies to Qiao Xuan.
Qiao Xuan was not one to let others manipulate her. Mrs. Lin refused to take the initiative to introduce her, so Qiao Xuan took the initiative and asked with a smile.
Mrs. Lin introduced her reluctantly.
Qiao Xuan didn't care at all that the other ladies' eyes were evasive or their smiles were not very well-intentioned. It is enough to know who the visitors are.
The number of guests invited by Mrs. Lin today is quite large. There are a total of twelve female dependents of middle-level officials from the Hanlin Academy and six ministries.
Including the little girls or mothers-in-law brought by each person, the Lin family's already small living room was crowded, and the chatter was noisy.
There are six new scholars, including Lian Shao Yunduan, who have entered the Hanlin Academy this year. Mrs. Lin has invited three wives today.
Shao Yunduan was the number one scholar, and among the new scholars, he was the most favored by the emperor. Even people like the Tian family could not get any benefits.
For this reason, the two new Hanlin wives, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Han, were particularly hostile to Qiao Xuan. The two were not familiar with each other at first, but because they shared the same hatred, they suddenly became close and affectionate. , talking and laughing, Qiao Xuan became even more displeased.
Qiao Xuan, who has been a tool for a time: "..."
Everyone was chatting and laughing, but, intentionally or unintentionally, they ignored Qiao Xuan, not even looking at her, and completely ignored her.
Qiao Xuan never thought about integrating into them. She didn't need it, and neither did Shao Yunduan. And with the emperor's words, no matter how unconvinced they are, they will never dare to do anything. After all, Liu Yushi will be dismissed as soon as he says he will be dismissed. Who dares to make fun of his own man's future?
And there is not much interaction with them on a daily basis, and they have no influence on her life. How could Qiao Xuan take the initiative to fawn over them even though she knows they have no good intentions towards her?
This has always been the case in the circle. Unless you take the initiative to accept it, it is very difficult to forcefully integrate into it.
Not to mention that this circle still rejects her.
"Oh, Mrs. Shao, why don't you say anything? Talk to us too!"
A lady suddenly said with a smile.
Suddenly countless eyes turned towards Qiao Xuan.
"Oh, I am the wife of the number one scholar, and she has a high level of vision. How can I take a fancy to us!"
I don’t know who sneered, but the sound was neither too loud nor too quiet, just enough for everyone to hear.
Another person laughed loudly~IndoMTL.com~ and said cheerfully: "Oh, that's not what they said! The truth is that this moment is the other moment, what does the honor and disgrace of a moment count? You have to look back. Now, after ten or twenty years, you will see again and you will know!"
These words made everyone nod in agreement.
"What I'm saying is that just because you can study hard doesn't mean you will do well as an official!"
"Throughout the ages, there have been many Jinshi who have prospered in officialdom and eventually entered the cabinet to become prime ministers!"
"Yes, becoming an official depends not only on the results of the imperial examination, but also on real materials and character."
"That's exactly what I said! If your character is not good, everything will be in vain."
"If you tell me, you need a good wife!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this, "Yes, yes, you don't have to have a good wife! A good wife and a good husband will bring less trouble!"
