But the whole process didn't last long. Soon, her smile faded, and she held it up reservedly.

With such an obvious and blunt change, what did Qiao Xuan not understand?

Even after saying hello, Mrs. Lin did not take the initiative to introduce other ladies to Qiao Xuan.

Qiao Xuan was not the one to be manipulated by others. Mrs. Lin refused to take the initiative to introduce her, so Qiao Xuan took the initiative to request with a smile.

Mrs. Lin reluctantly introduced it to her.

Qiao Xuan didn't care if the other ladies' eyes were dodging, or their smiles were not very well-meaning. It is enough to know who is coming.

The number of guests invited by Mrs. Lin today is not too small. There are twelve female relatives from the Hanlin Academy and six middle-level officials in total.

In addition to the little girls or wives they brought, the Lin family's small living room was crowded, and the chattering voices were very noisy.

This year, there are six new scholars, including Shao Yunyun, who are newly admitted to the Hanlin Academy. Mrs. Lin has invited three wives today.

Shao Yunyun is the top scholar, and among the new scholars, he is the most admired by the emperor, and even people like Tian's family can't get a bargain.

Because of this, the two newly recruited Hanlin ladies, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Han, were particularly hostile to Qiao Xuan. The two of them were not familiar with each other, but because of the same hatred, they suddenly became close to each other. It is said that With a smile, Qiao Xuan became more and more unpleasant.

Qiao Xuan, who has been a tool man: "..."

Everyone was chatting, talking and laughing, but, intentionally or not, they ignored Qiao Xuan and didn't even look at her, completely ignoring her.

Qiao Xuan didn't want to integrate into them, she didn't need it, neither did Shao Yunyun. And with the emperor's words, even if they are not convinced, they will never dare to do anything. After all, Liu Yushi said that if he was dismissed, he would be dismissed. Who would dare to joke about his man's future?

And they don't have many daily contacts, and they can't affect their own lives. How could Qiao Xuan take the initiative to flatter when she knew that they didn't have good intentions for her?

The circle has always been like this. Unless you actively accept it, it is very difficult to forcibly integrate into it.

Not to mention that the circle still rejects her.

"Oh, Mrs. Shao, why don't you talk? Talk to us too!"

A lady suddenly said with a smile.

Immediately, countless glances turned towards Qiao Xuan.

"Oh, she is Mrs. Zhuangyuan, she has high vision, how can you see us!"

I don't know who snorted, the voice was not too small or not, just so everyone could hear it.

The other person laughed and said heartily: "Oh, that's not what you said! There is a saying that what is the honor and disgrace of the moment and the moment? I have to look back. Twenty years, look at it again, then you will know!"

This made everyone nodded in agreement.

"It's saying that just because you can read books doesn't mean you must do well in an official position!"

"Through the ages, there have been many jinshi who have prospered in official affairs and finally entered the pavilion to worship the chancellor!"

"Yes, being an official depends not only on the results of the palace exam, but also on real materials and character."

"That's exactly what you said! If your character is not good, everything is empty."

"If you want me to tell you, you have to have a good helper!"

When everyone heard this, they all burst into laughter, "That's right, it's not necessary to have a virtuous inner helper! It's a good wife and a virtuous husband and less misfortune!"
