Too high to reach

Chapter 151 Making Friends
Granny Zhao left.

The three girls pulled each other aside, making way for the main road and moving to the side.

I plan to understand it first before making a decision.

Inside the courtyard, quite a few people were already standing there chatting and laughing. Outside, people were still continuously coming in.

A young noblewoman, clearly of high status, walked along the main road with her chin held high, ignoring everyone else, her jade pendants jingling. A young maidservant, holding an umbrella, followed her at a brisk pace.

An elderly lady, supported by a well-dressed maid, walked slowly and gracefully past.

There were also girls who came with their elders. After the elders went into the inner courtyard, they stayed behind to chat and laugh with their familiar sisters.

Without realizing it, people separated themselves on the main road, with men on the left and women on the right.

Mo Yuan's beautiful eyes were constantly scanning the male customers. Her gaze was filled with young men, each impeccably dressed and graceful. She couldn't take it all in… She also had to observe the girls around her, commenting on their looks and attire with her friends, and always comparing them to herself.

Very busy.

Mo Yi, however, was carefully examining the women's accessories: headdresses, purses, fan pendants, and shoes. She noticed that many of the women were using items from the embroidery shop she had visited before. It seemed that these accessories were appropriate for the occasion and age.

Mo Wen, meanwhile, was somewhat distracted while waiting for news from Madam Xu.

Suddenly, Madam Liang entered, accompanied by someone who appeared to be a relative or friend, and they talked as they walked.

Mo Wen spotted her immediately and nudged Mo Yi, who was eyeing someone else's wallet.

Madam Liang also saw them, said something to the person beside her, and walked over this way.

The three Mo family girls hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Greetings, Madam!"

"Miss Mo, we meet again." Madam Hou's complexion was much better than before. "Miss Mo Yi, are you alright after the accident?"

Her gentle yet earnest attitude stirred a slight pang in Mo Yi's heart.

"I recovered quickly after using the medicine that Madam gave me."

Mo Yuan was very affectionate with Madam Liang. Pointing at Mo Yi, she laughed, "Madam doesn't know, but later, her face turned blue, yellow, and purple, and she looked ugly for quite some time."

Upon hearing this, Madam Liang smiled as well, "I've heard good news about Mo Yi. Speaking of which, our Marquis also fought alongside Prince Qi in battle, and he often wrote to say: His Highness has sacrificed a great deal for the ruler and the people; he is a hero. Miss Mo Yi, you've turned misfortune into blessing; your opportunity is truly wonderful!"

"Madam Xie." Mo Yi thought to herself: I've been so busy lately that I haven't paid attention to Liang You. Has his matter been settled? "Mo Yi sees that Madam looks very well. Things must be going smoothly, right?"

"Everything's fine! Liang Xin is here today too. We'll meet up later, so you can all hang out together."

"Yes."

"Then I'll go in first." Madam Liang smiled at the three sisters and left.

In the crowd, there was a girl who saw Madam Liang talking to someone.

They were three young women, all quite pretty. "Who are they?" someone asked the person next to them, pointing at them. "Even if I don't recognize them, I should at least have some recollection of them."

Everyone who saw it shook their heads.

The one asking the questions was Princess Wenfang, the granddaughter of Princess Fengcheng. She knew that the marriage her grandmother had arranged for her had fallen through, so she set her sights on the Liang family.

But these days, it hasn't been mentioned again... I don't know why.

She was not happy about this marriage!

She not only disliked Liang You, but also disliked the original Liang Qian. She even disliked the Prince of Qi!
Because she already had someone she loved: Xu Ke...

My eyes well up with tears whenever I think of him.

When she was a child, Xu Ke and her brothers were all in the same social circle. She had a lot of contact with Xu Ke. In her early, innocent childhood, she felt that the way Xu Ke looked at her was different from how he looked at others.

But fate is cruel.

At home, she insisted on giving herself to Liang Qian!
Liang Qian was finally dead, but Xu Ke was still unmarried. She begged her mother to intercede...

But under the guise of doing what was best for herself, the grandmother plotted against the Prince of Qi. Not only did the Prince of Qi fail, but Xu Ke also ended up getting engaged.

Grandmother went back to the Liang family again... but recently she hasn't mentioned it anymore!
Liang You is an adopted son who inherited the title. He originally came from an ordinary family. How could he not be willing to marry me?

He has a good family background, good looks, and talent... Why is it so difficult for me to find a spouse?
Thankfully, the rumors didn't get out, or I really wouldn't be able to survive!

The Mo family girls over there had no idea that this county princess was inquiring about them, and after parting ways with Madam Liang, she was watching the commotion... Suddenly, Mo Yi actually spotted someone familiar. Wasn't this the "Miss Wang" she had met at the Qizhen Pavilion?

It made me a fortune... It's hard to forget!
Suppressing my excitement, I looked closely and didn't see my own amethyst. But Miss Wang's outfit today was quite impressive. She wore a light pink Shandong silk dress, three strings of blue turquoise beads around her neck, and a matching bracelet.

The pink and the blue were both so pure and bright.

Aside from the fact that they look somewhat inexplicably dazzling when put together, and don't quite match her personality at all, they are all high-quality items.

Of course, turquoise itself isn't very valuable, but for a young girl, overly expensive materials can make her look older. Besides, her turquoise must be of the highest quality.

Miss Wang looked beautiful. "Oh, Cousin Xu..." she was speaking to a woman.

Cousin Xu?
Mo Yi suddenly remembered Xu Fengjiao. Miss Wang wanted to compete against the one in the ring…

Looking at Xu Fengjiao again, she truly is as gentle and unassuming as a chrysanthemum.

She was thin and frail, looking as if she would collapse in the wind. She had delicate eyebrows and eyes, and thin lips. Her whole appearance evoked pity.

But she clearly had learned manners and didn't have the pretentious manner that Mo Yuan had shown before.

She wore a light green chiffon dress, and around her neck was a turquoise necklace...

What are these two doing? Mo Yi grinned... All green, this girl standing by the lake actually has a lot of the effect of lotus leaves... It's quite consistent with Mo Yuan's idea of ​​lotus flowers.

What's even funnier is that the two little girls are exchanging glances and seem to be at odds with each other.

Mo Yuan kept talking, and to outsiders, the three of them together seemed to have a lively atmosphere.

So, some girls came over to greet her, showing interest in making friends. Others chatted for a bit and then asked about Mo Yi's purse, looking both curious and interested.

This excited Mo Yi, who started thinking about how to make this happen.

She even placed her purse in a conspicuous spot and strolled around the crowd with her two older sisters.

Since someone has taken the initiative to talk to them, they can also take the initiative to talk to others!

Moreover, Mo Yuan has a natural talent for socializing and can put on a serious face. Before long, she had chatted with several people.

Actually, they also wanted to hear what these "noble ladies" said on a daily basis.

After listening for a while, all I heard was that it was about whose dress had the best color and which shop had the best pastries.

My elder brother is engaged.

My father got a promotion.

Which shop has really good new powder, and they're running low on stock? Go buy it now...

The ladies' conversations revolved around their daughters' marriages, their sons' homework, and even gossip about certain people...

It's nothing new, just the same old stuff.

"Miss Mo?" someone called from the side. Turning around, he recognized her—it was Yuan Huixian, whom he had met at Dajue Temple.

"Miss Yuan!" He quickly smiled and bowed.

When Yuan Huixian saw them, she was quite friendly, "Is Miss Mo Yi's nose alright?"

"It's all fine now. You must have been terrified back then," Mo Yi said with a frank smile.

"Of course! I told my family about Miss Mo's situation, and my uncles and aunts all sighed, saying that there's a saying: 'A blessing in disguise.' Such things really do happen in the world!"

Mo Yi smiled sheepishly.

Mo Yuan asked excitedly, "Did all the people we met that day come today?"

"I saw Zhang Xianlin this morning. No one else has! Mo Yi, your purse is so pretty!"

"Really?" Mo Yi's eyes lit up, and she even fiddled with it for a bit.

Seeing this, both Mo Wen and Mo Yuan felt something was off: Did this girl actually know this trick?
"Hmm, it's quite unique!"

Mo Yi felt an intense urge to ask: How much silver would you spend to buy it?
