Today, the believers of the Faxing Temple were gathered, and it was very lively. The Buddhist hall outside was filled with ordinary people who came to pray, and the Hall of Great Strength and the back garden were a place for important people to rest. Many young talents and famous ladies were gathered under the ginkgo tree to talk about poems and paintings.

To stand out, the talents would talk to each other and display their literary talent; The ladies were all dressed up elegantly. Although they were sitting on both ends of the table, their eyes met from time to time. Some of them lowered their heads shyly, and some smiled brightly. Every move of them was full of affection.

Among all the talented ladies, Li Ran's sons and daughters born from his wife were naturally the most outstanding and the focus of everyone's attention. As the governor of the imperial city and the brother of Concubine Min, Li Ran's official career was not limited to the whole Jiangzhe. Maybe a few years later, when the ninth prince grew up, he would be transferred to the capital city as an official and have a meteoric rise.

With such a strong background, Li Jiarong and Li Xiudian were naturally the people who were flattered.

At this moment, Li Jiarong was sitting under a ginkgo tree and drinking tea from time to time. Her beautiful eyes glanced at the young talents who were talking happily. She was beautiful and graceful, so she was naturally very popular. Eighty or ninety percent of talents could not help but glance at her, and then looked away, pretending to be fine.

Catching another man who was peeping at her, Li Jiarong covered her mouth with her hand and smiled proudly.

"Sister Li, the dress you are wearing is so beautiful. I'm attracted to it! These cotton roses were elegant and enchanting, and each of them was unique in charm and beauty. It was really a masterpiece! If an ordinary woman wore this dress, she would be crushed by these beautiful cotton roses. But you are different. You are so beautiful that no matter how beautiful the flowers are, they will be your foil." A noblewoman praised sincerely.

Next to a few people quickly echoed, praised Li Jiarong as peerless

Li Jiarong held her hand with a smile and said, "Don't praise me. Sisi embroidered this dress for me. If I have seven points of beauty, then five of them must be from her hands." (Note: Full mark is 10. She said she had seven points of beauty to be modest.)

Sitting next to her, Meng Si smiled shyly and gently, without saying anything.

To please Li Jiarong, all the ladies praised Meng Si too and said that they would never go to other embroidery shops to buy clothes in the future and would only go to the Meng Clan's.

Someone cut in, "Well, do you think Du Ruyan will come today?"

Li Jiarong stopped smiling and looked at the woman coldly. Another person quickly added, "How could she come? Did she dare to come? I've heard that she has been looking for precious cloth and good embroiderers in the city these days. However, with her background, which good embroiderer would like to make clothes? It's pathetic that she still doesn't want to see reality in such a situation."

"That's right. No matter how much money she has, she can't buy the silk we wear. She will make a fool of herself even if she comes. So why did she come? I guess she is crying at home!" As soon as the woman finished speaking, everyone covered their mouths and chuckled, with a look of schadenfreude in their eyes.

Li Jiarong's face softened. She pretended to be magnanimous and said, "Since she has come to this point, you'd better keep your words. Don't laugh at her anymore."
