Everyone was more or less curious about Wei Ruo, who had just been taken back to the Wei family.

As soon as Wei Ruo got out of the carriage, she felt many eyes glancing at her.

Wei Ruo graciously let them look at her, without shyness or hiding.

Because she knew that this is unavoidable, and their curiosity must be satisfied.

The ladies who were looking at Wei Ruo, found that Wei Ruo was not quite what they had expected. Her slender figure, delicate and smooth skin were not even comparable to the young ladies who had been nursed in their deep chambers for many years.

If the Wei family did not tell them, they would never have thought that Wei Ruo had been living in the countryside before.

She stood there with Wei Qingwan; one was gentle and beautiful, and the other one was lovely and pretty. In terms of physical appearance alone, they really outshined the other young ladies who have come today.

Some were surprised and some were disappointed.

The idea of making jokes of the Wei family seemed to be in vain.

The County Head Magistrate’s wife came over with her daughter Qian Zhilan to greet Yun Shi: "Mrs. Wei, you are really enviable, your two daughters are so outstanding. Is there any way for others to survive?"

“Mrs. Qian, please don't blame me. How can my two daughters compare to your daughter? I heard Wanwan say that even Mr. Fu praised your daughter's poetry. Mr. Fu* rarely praises people for their good poetry, but Miss Qian is the only one!”

*Mr in this case is addressed to a ‘teacher’. So even though the teacher is a female, she will be called by Mr.

Mr. Fu was the most prestigious female teacher in Xingshan County and now teaches several young ladies in the County head magistrate's residence.

Mrs. Qian smiled all over her face and said: "She is just a little clever!”

She said that her daughter was just a little clever, but the smile on her face was genuine, indicating that Yun Shi’s words had touched her heart.

Immediately afterwards, both the Assistant County Magistrate's wife and the Chief of Record's wife also came up and greeted Yun.

Yun Shi looked around and saw several familiar madams were there.

So she asked the County Head Magistrate’s wife, who was in charge of today’s event: "Mrs. Qian, who are we waiting for?"

"The madam and daughter of the Xie family in the north of the city." Mrs. Qian replied.

The Xie family was known as a family of farmers and scholars in Taizhou Prefecture, and the family had produced two scholars in the last twenty years.

Mrs. Xie's father-in-law was one of them. He was now serving in the capital and a fifth-ranked official. Recently he had been highly appreciated by the Emperor and was likely to be promoted to a fourth-ranked senior official (in imperial China).

As soon as they heard that they were waiting for Xie's family, everyone had no objections.

Not long after, the Xie family's carriage also arrived, and two people got out of it. The Xie family's madam, Mrs. Xie and the Xie family's young lady, Xie Ying.

Unlike other young ladies who got out of the car with the help of their maids, Xie Ying jumped down directly.

Such a bold move was unique among many young ladies who gathered today.

"Be careful." said Mrs Xie, dotingly and helplessly. Her daughter had really been spoiled by her father-in-law and husband.

Xie Ying had already run up.

Mrs. Xie came forward and said hello to Yun Shi and the County Head Magistrate’s wife: "We kept you waiting for a long time. My Ying'er has been acting a little too mischievous. She was dazzled by a juggler on the way and refused to leave."

"It's okay. The child is still young, it's normal to have some curiosity." Mrs. Qian said with a smile.

Mrs. Xie looked at Wei Ruo. The others were all familiar faces and they had met countless times. But Wei Ruo was the only one that she saw for the first time today.

Mrs. Xie smiled and said: "The eldest young lady of the Wei family was born so lovely and pretty. As expected of Mrs. Wei's daughter, she has taken after Mr and Mrs. Wei."

I spy MC's future best friend!! With such an unpretentious introduction, she should not look down on MC for her upbringing...

Mrs. Xie seems decent enough. Let's see how everything goes as they climb the mountain. RuoRuo should have an easier time since she wore lighter clothes.
