Chapter 171 Autumn Banquet 3
Although Chen Run is domineering and does not leave room for others, it is not that she is really not at all careful.
Chen Run could still hear some hidden thunder when Xi Ningyu said, so he wanted to speak, suddenly woke up, and swallowed the crazy words he was about to say.
"Miss Xi is so sharp-tongued and has a clever heart!"
Chen Run immediately replied to Xi Ningyu, neither being deceived nor secretly swallowing the run.
Seeing that Chen Run was not deceived, Xi Ningyu also muttered in secret.
At this moment, the two of them were standing on the stage and looking at each other.
The abnormal movement here also made Duanmu Tianyou, who was among a group of young men, noticed it. He was originally uninterested in the talents of those women before, and he kept staring at a scene in a daze, but was suddenly alerted by the actions of the people around him.
Only then did he notice the changes on the stage, especially when he saw Xi Ningyu standing on the stage, Duanmu Tianyou focused on today's autumn banquet.
"A woman from a merchant family dared to appear at the autumn banquet in the chrysanthemum garden. I don't know what your Xi family, a family that has not been outside for a long time, is so ignorant that you don't even look at the surrounding palaces that your Xi family can compare with!"
Standing and looking at each other for a while, Chen Run couldn't calm down and spoke first.
Just this mouth criticized Xifu, and it seemed that Xifu was involved.
This autumn banquet clearly lowered the level of the autumn banquet, and also used the background of other governments around to mock the Xi family.
In fact, Xi Ningyu didn't care how she slandered the Xi family, but she was very disgusted. Chen Run always put herself on the commanding heights, as if others were short of her.
Especially when speaking, he always speaks with a tone of teaching people, as if someone should be scolded by her innately, it is so annoying.
"Miss Chen's words are a bit biased. If you want to say that the Xifu is indeed the emperor, the value or the foundation in the imperial capital is indeed not as profound as the ones here.
But—I would like to ask for advice. I wonder what family background your Chen family had before the founding of the Western Qin Kingdom? Which Western Qin emperor showed his head and foot to achieve fame and fame when he was reigned? When was the title of title that was granted to enjoy this honor?"
When Chen Run saw Xi Ningyu asking about her family background, she didn't know what she planned for a while, so she hesitated and did not answer immediately.
The people from all the prefectures below did not know what Xi Ningyu asked this for a while, so they were silent and waited for the following text.
No one was making noise at this time, so the conversation between the two on the stage spread a little farther, and the group of young men could hear this question clearly.
Duanmu Tianyou thought for a moment and understood, so he thought to himself that Xi Ningyu was really cunning and digging a hole for Chen Run to jump.
Seeing that Chen Run was silent all the time, Xi Ningyu asked again: "What! Could it be that Miss Chen doesn't even know when her family's origin is from? Could it be that this noble and honorable fortune will make your Chen family live a life of a clan and that they can't even say what kind of background is?"
As soon as Xi Ningyu said this, everyone on and off the stage covered their mouths and chuckled.
Chen Run was also blushed when Xi Ningyu said it. It was not that she refused to answer, but that she could not figure out what Xi Ningyu had to think about it, so she was cautious and never spoke.
How could she not know where her Chen clan is!
"I, our Chen family, was in the merit of guarding the border and fighting the barbarians, received honor and favor, and enjoyed titles!"
"Where is your Chen family when the founding of the Western Qin Kingdom was in the beginning and before the establishment of the Western Qin Kingdom?"
Seeing that Chen Run only talked about why the Chen family had a title because of their merits, but never said what origin was before the Western Qin Dynasty. Xi Ningyu naturally would not let her get over so easily, so he asked here.
Chen Run didn't know what Xi Ningyu had big ideas, so he saw her asking again, so he didn't dare to easily tell what it was like before the founding of the Western Qin Dynasty.
However, after more than a hundred years or even longer, the families in this imperial capital have been together, and they don’t know who is doing something. Apart from pretending to be stupid or not, they cannot easily say it, how can they not know the origins of all families?
Chen Run kept silent on the stage, which does not mean that there is no good thing and is not afraid of big things. Naturally, Chen Run said it on behalf of him.
"Their Chen family was born as a cold farmer. No one knew where they were before the founding of the Western Qin Dynasty. They only knew that the Chen family was with the Western Qin Dynasty in 911. They obtained fame and honor for their ancestors. Later, they were granted the title of Bo Ye for their achievements in guarding the border."
Among those young men, not only one loudly told the family background of Chen Run's clan.
Chen Run heard someone say that the Chen family was born as a cold farmer and felt a little uncomfortable on his face, but he thought that it was something that happened more than a hundred years ago, so the feeling of discomfort was not strong.
Xi Ningyu was different. After hearing this, a flash of light flashed across his eyes.
"It turns out that I was born as a cold farmer. I just said, I thought your Chen family was a great family, and it has been passed down for thousands of years!
It turns out that he was just a farmland, and he was only able to become a noble by studying and gaining fame!”
Xi Ningyu said it with a hint of sarcasm, but before Chen Run could argue, he spoke to the audience and several today's judges' ladies: "Everyone, since ancient times, wouldn't there be any kings, princes, generals and ministers?
However, Xifu was born into a merchant and had only moved to the imperial capital in recent years. Our Xi family has never denied this, let alone concealed it.
But this should not be a reason to be ridiculed and humiliated at will!
I would like to ask, how many of the prefectures here are honored for generations and honored for generations?
However, it was all based on the ancestors of the predecessors. One was that he made contributions in Conglong in the Western Qin Dynasty. Or that he made achievements after his founding of the country, and that he had enjoyed the favor of the emperor for several generations and the grace of the emperor for several generations.
But so what? How many of the people here have always been popular from Zhou to Liang, from Liang to Qin?
If nothing! Why do you laugh at my humble family? Even if our Xi family is doing business, they have never done anything that harms the people. They are worthy of the people in the world. They have never done anything unfaithful to the emperor, and they are not disgraceful to the emperor of the Western Qin. They are not worthy of the Emperor of Heaven. Why do you laugh at me?"
Xi Ningyu's words were so generous and natural, and he was justified and without any guilt or timidity.
Especially that sentence.
‘Why would you rather have a king, prince, general, and minister!’
He made everyone present speechless.
Indeed, since Zhou and Liang, whether it is the previous dynasty or the current dynasty, they are all poor people, and are oppressed by the harsh policies of the previous dynasty, so they have rebelled against the emperor of the previous dynasty and have the glory of today.
So if we talk about it, there is really nothing to boast about. The nobles of today are just traitors of the previous dynasty.
For a moment, the faces here were slightly red. Especially those families who had been using Long Zhigong to secretly hated Chen Run. If she hadn't provoked this lady from the Xi family, how could someone have found out the old account and made her angry!
Chen Run was so shocked by Xi Ningyu's words, but he opened his mouth speechless. He pointed at Xi Ningyu for a long time, but couldn't take it.
"It's just because there were some small conflicts in Shao Mansion. Why did you, a noble lady, hold such a grudge against me? If all the ladies in the imperial capital were like this, that little girl would have nothing to say!"
Xi Ningyu's sentence became a little sinister. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a noble girl from some mansion in the audience standing up and saying, "Miss Xi family, the noble lady in the imperial capital, aren't everyone as narrow-minded as her!"
Xi Ningyu immediately replied: "Since that's the case, that little girl has made a mistake. I hope this sister won't blame me!"
The woman stood up from the audience and nodded after hearing this, and sat down with a smile!
The wives of the various prefectures in the audience all praised in their hearts, what an elf girl. They whispered to their children behind them, and if they could get along well with them in the future, they would try not to be enemies.
The young and arrogant person present does not mean that those women who have been immersed in the back house for many years are also confused.
Xi Ningyu's words today made the wives of the various palaces give thumbs up.
It also attacked Chen Run, maintained the reputation of the Xifu Mansion, and put Chen Run in an extremely unfavorable position. It also invisibly pulled people from each mansion to her side and isolated Chen Run. It also made the Chen Mansion fall into a state of criticism after today.
Chen Run also reacted at this moment, knowing that not only did not humiliate Xi Ningyu, but instead put himself and the entire Chen family in an unfavorable situation.
Lan Yi in the audience shook her head even more, and was speechless at Chen Run making things like this.
"Xi Ningyu! Don't show off your verbal advantage. I asked you to come up to compete with you with poetry. What do you say so much?
If you don’t dare to compete with me, then go on and don’t mess around here and make you laugh!”
Chen Run was anxious and completely disorganized. Not only did he yell on the stage without any noble lady's demeanor, but he also spoke for no reason and was rude in front of others.
Everyone present was tired of his actions and secretly sneered at the tutor of the Chen family.
Especially those judges on the stage frowned when they saw Chen Run's behavior. If it weren't for the Chen family's title of marquis, she would have been knocked off the stage.
Seeing that it was almost done, Xi Ningyu stopped talking to Chen Run, turned around and said to Chen Run, "Since that's the case, let's ask the Chen sister first!"
"Who is my sister? You deserve to call me sister. A lowly businessman, who is also embarrassed to call me sister!"
If Chen Run was just unintentionally causing the people from all the prefectures to fall into a dilemma just now, then at this moment, her words made a lot of people present as enemies!
After all, not only noble families were present, but many wealthy merchants and wealthy merchants came. In particular, several of them were used for business for generations, and were scolded by Chen Run's words "A lowly merchant origin".
"It's Xi Ningyu who is so ruthless. Miss Chen calms down and asks you to ask for a question!"
Xi Ningyu waved Chen Run and stopped immediately, but laughed in his heart. Sure enough, the person in his anger was irrational.
Among the judges on the stage, there was a family who was also a businessman and was a businessman in the imperial capital for generations. Only by marrying an official could he sit in today's judges' seat.
Chen Run's scolding just now completely annoyed the woman, so he stopped Chen Run very impatiently.
