Chapter 469 Find fault!
These noble ladies are elegant and reserved when eating, and have a pitiful appetite. In Cen Xiqin's words, they all have cat-like stomachs. Eating that little pitiful thing is not enough for her to stuff her teeth.
However, despite constantly complaining in my heart, Cen Xiqin also had a reserved and elegant dining experience, with a ladylike temperament and noble lady style.
After all, it was outside, and the lady of the Cen family represented the Cen family. She was impatient and had to take into account the face of the Cen family.
But she couldn't eat too much, and the little food she ate was not enough to fill Cen Xiqin's stomach, which made her feel very painful. But here, she could only bear it and secretly decided in her heart that when she was in the Cen family's own villa tonight, she must have a good meal and make up for all the food she had eaten at noon!
Cen Xiyan's dining etiquette is also impeccable. She does not have the same amount of food as Cen Xiqin. Although she doesn't eat much, she doesn't feel very hungry like Cen Xiqin.
Some noble ladies who had just observed Cen Xiyan secretly showed a look of surprise when they saw Cen Xiyan's standard dining etiquette.
A noble girl sitting next to Cen Xifen whispered to Cen Xifen: "Did you, the sixth cousin, really come back from the countryside? It doesn't look like it. Your Cen family actually cultivated her to such a demeanor in a short period of time, which has taken a lot of thought?"
When Cen Xifen heard Cen Xiyan's name, her face snorted coldly, "It's just a look on the surface. A wild girl in the countryside is a wild girl in the countryside. Can you really expect her to become a real noble girl? Humph!"
Cen Xiyan's ears were too sensitive, and he listened to the conversation between the noble girl and Cen Xiqin without saying a word. He couldn't help but curse in his heart: Cen Xifen, this idiot! The Cen family girls came out and they were a whole, representing the face of the Cen family! What benefits can she get if belittle her in front of the outside? None of them will make others look down on her, and expose the discord within the Cen family, making people laugh at the Cen family! It's so stupid!
After Cen Xifen said these words with disdain, she glared at Cen Xiyan, wanting to goug her desperately, expressing her disdain and despise.
But she didn't expect that Cen Xiyan also looked at her, her eyes were cold and sharp. Cen Xiqin was startled when she met Cen Xiyan's gaze, and her heart was pounding. She couldn't resist Cen Xiyan's sharp gaze, so she quickly turned her head and didn't dare to look at Cen Xiyan anymore.
The noble girls were too reserved and quiet to eat, and they didn't eat much, so soon lunch was over.
Lin Xiaoyu ordered the servants to pack up the cups and bowls, and then took the noble ladies to a viewing room in Guanmeiyuan.
This viewing house is built in the middle of the plum garden. There are windows on all sides of the house. There are hot charcoal basins placed in the house, so you can open the window and enjoy the snow scenery and plum blossoms in the yard outside.
The noble ladies arrived at the viewing room, arranged by Lin Xiaoyu, and sat in the room at a table.
Jin Fang was originally arranged to have a table with the Eighth Princess Mo Manlu, but Jin Fang smiled and said, "Ms. Lin San is a familiar person with the Eighth Princess. You should sit at the same table. Xiaoqi from the Cen family and I haven't finished talking about archery, and I want to sit together and talk. I don't think the Eighth Princess and Miss Lin San will mind, right?"
When Lin Xiaoyu heard this, her brows frowned slightly, but it quickly stretched out. After all, Jin Fang's identity as the little princess of Prince Lu's Mansion was there, and she didn't dare to show her face to Jin Fang.
She just felt that Jin Fang was really unaware of it. The Eighth Princess and her were cousins. She didn’t have a good relationship with the Eighth Princess, but instead made handkerchiefs with the wild girl Cen Xiqin. It was really helpless!
Moreover, she originally planned to sit at the same table with the Eighth Princess, but now she was told by Jin Fang that it seemed as if she had given the seat to her. It was really annoying!
However, Jin Fang had already said this. Even though Lin Xiaoyu knew it was an excuse, she couldn't refuse. She looked at Mo Manlu. At this time, Mo Manlu had the most right to speak.
Mo Manlu was also a little unhappy. Why, she didn't dislike Jin Fang yet, just a little princess, but she didn't want to work with her? Tsk! She didn't want to sit with Jin Fang yet!
Mo Manlu raised her chin, with a arrogant expression and a cold look. She spoke up about a topic that had nothing to do with this topic, "Jin Fang, I heard that not long ago, you encountered danger in the Royal Villa. Is Cen Xiqin who saved you?"
Jin Fang nodded and said, "Yes, Qin'er shot the spotted leopard to death, saving my life."
"Oh~~~" Mo Manlu pulled a long voice, then looked at Cen Xiqin, and said, "Cen Xiqin, it seems that your archery skills are really good? No wonder the content you chat about is about archery..."
Cen Xiqin replied with neither humility nor arrogant words: "I made the Eighth Princess laugh. My archery skills are very average, but I just like them. That day I just shot the leopard by chance. Maybe Princess Jin Fang is lucky and my mediocre archery skills were extraordinary that day."
What Cen Xiqin said can be said to be like water-free.
But Mo Manlu was a person who was unwilling to give up and said unwillingly: "What a modest thing? You can shoot such a large spotted leopard to death. Your accurate head, skills, and wrist strength should be good."
After all, he is a royal princess. Even if he is not good at skills, he knows a little bit and can say something. It is enough to fool those noble girls who don’t understand at all.
Just as Mo Manlu finished speaking, someone who was good at flattering her was a smile and said, "The Eighth Princess knows a lot."
"Yes, I don't understand archery or something at all." Another noble girl said.
When Mo Manlu heard the praise, her chin raised her higher, with a look of pride on her face.
Cen Xiyan stood beside Cen Xiqin and frowned. He always felt that the eighth princess was a little malicious about raising the topic to archery.
Cen Xiqin also noticed something was wrong and insisted: "My archery skills are really average. I just happened to save Princess Jin Fang that day."
"Okay, don't be modest." Mo Manlu didn't listen to Cen Xiqin's words at all, and said to herself: "It's really boring to ordinary poetry. Why don't we play some games today? Let Miss Cen Qi perform archery for us, and how about it to help the poetry society?"
