Yu Xie Mansion had only lived in the mansion for a few days, and Wanzhang had completely opened up the world and seen what kind of atmosphere the real nobles were. Although she did not dare to appear openly on occasions where celebrities gathered because of her identity, she often secretly hid behind the corner of the wall and eavesdropped. After only a few days, she deeply realized that she had a narrow vision and met too few people before, and she dreamed every day that she could have the opportunity to deal with these famous people all over the world, so that she would come to the world in vain.

So after thinking about it day by day, within a few days, Wanzhang actually began to be depressed, but she didn't notice this depression herself, but the people around her were the first to find out.

Liu Wu was sent by Xie Yan to take care of her diet and daily life, tutor the Xie family culture, and help her relieve the lonely little maid, who was once Xie Yan's cousin's personal maid when she was not married.

And Xie Yan's cousin is none other than Xie Daoyun, the first talented woman in the Eastern Jin Dynasty who has been admired by Wanzhang for a long time, but has never been seen.

As a maid of Xie Mansion, and once around the first talented girl, her emotions and intelligence will naturally not be low, when Liu Wu was sent to her side on the first day, Wanzhang asked her what her name was, and the little maid replied to her with pride and admiration:

"When the old man was still in Dongshan, the children of the Xie family were all raised by the old man, one day of heavy snow, everyone chatted around the fireplace, the old man asked the children of the clan, 'what is the snow like', the eldest lady replied, 'catkins because of the wind', just this sentence, all the sons under the seat were compared, and even the master also high-fived and admired. Later, the lord rewarded me to the eldest lady for this sentence and gave me the name catkins. ”

It's just that later this talented woman got married, and she couldn't bear to let Liu Wu leave her old master with her, so she didn't let her marry, and Liu Wu stayed, and she stayed with Xie Yan, who had the best relationship with her sister when she was a child, until Wanzhang came, and was sent to take care of her again.

The smart and clever Liu Wu saw that Wanzhang didn't think about tea and dinner day by day, and knew from morning to night that she was looking at the famous people who entered and left the living room far away from the window, and soon saw through her thoughts.

Then I don't know what Liu Yan did, how to report to Xie Yan in private, one afternoon, when she looked at the guests in the front hall as usual and dispersed, she saw that Xie Yan did not return to her room, but walked straight to her west wing.

Liu Wu was clever and intelligent, and when he saw Xie Yan coming, he immediately went out to make tea.

Wanzhang also wanted to express his welcome, but when he thought that this was originally his home, and he was a guest, if he expressed his welcome, wouldn't it be suspected of being anti-guest-oriented, so when he asked him to sit down, he kept holding his hands and didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, Xie Yan had the atmosphere of being the master, and asked first:

"Are you still used to living here?"

Wanzhang replied: "I am used to it." ”

He asked, "Isn't it boring to be in your room every day?" ”

Wanzhang continued to answer: "It's not boring. ”

He patiently asked again, "Do you want me to take you there?" ”

"Can you take me to your parlor?"

Hearing the word shopping, Wanzhang's eyes lit up for a moment, and he blurted out, but he forgot that it was too unreserved, and hurriedly accepted it, "I...... Since I said that I want to take refuge in your Jin Kingdom, I should naturally communicate more with these famous people in China. ”

After listening to her reply, the other party couldn't pick it up for a while, and thought for a while with an uncertain expression, as if whispering to himself, "I see." Then seeing that she was hopeful, he finally smiled and agreed:

"Okay, I promise you, tomorrow happens to be my clan's family banquet, and I'll take you with me."

"Is that true?" Wanzhang cheered, so happy that he couldn't even speak, and tried to calm down for a while, still immersed in joy.

Xie Yan saw that she couldn't calm down for a while, so she smiled helplessly, it was useless to stay longer, so she decided to leave and prepare for tomorrow's banquet, so she said goodbye and left first.

After Xie Yan left, after a while, the catkins who went to make tea with a stick of incense came back with the tea tray at this moment, and when they entered the door and saw that Xie Yan had left, they frowned, put down the tea tray and asked her:

"Girl, why did the second son leave?"

Wan Zhang said calmly: "After he finished what he had to say, he naturally left." ”

Liu Wu brought a cup of tea and came over: "What did the second son say to you?" ”

Wanzhang took the teacup and took a sip: "Tomorrow Xie Fu family banquet, he will allow me to see the world." ”

Liu Fu was stunned for a moment, suddenly gasped, and said with a twisted expression: "Girl, it turns out that you just want to see those big people, so you look at the front hall by the window every day, and the slave still thinks you are ......"

"What do you think I am?" Wanzhang wondered.

"The slave maid thought it was ......" Liu Wu's expression was very interesting, and after holding it for a long time, she finally called out, "I thought you missed the second son!" ”

"What! You think so?! ”

Hearing her say this, Wanzhang couldn't sit still any longer, slapped the teacup on the table, and jumped up from the stool. The mood changed from shock to speechlessness, and from speechlessness to collapse.

Recalling that he didn't think about tea and dinner a few days ago, and the situation of looking at the window from a distance was actually regarded by Liu Wu as a lovesickness for Xie Yan, Wan Zhang was not shocked, could it be that what he has done in the past few days has always been regarded by Liu Wu as a resentful woman? Yes. That's why she went to ask Xie Yan to come over, that's why Xie Yan had such an inquiring attitude towards herself just now, so it all made sense, she held her forehead and choked speechlessly. Thinking of how he would be able to hold his head up in front of Xie Yan in the future after Liu Wu's confession, his mood completely fell into a deep collapse.

The banquet was a dinner party, but the next day, just after lunch, the children of the clan had gathered in the Xie Mansion early, everyone gathered in the living room to talk about it, and warmed up the banquet for the evening.

Liu Fu had already told her before going out that most of the Xie family were officials in the court, and they usually lived in the Jiankang official mansion, just because the Jin Emperor knew that the Xie family had a deep friendship and loved to gather and talk, so he put together the rest time of all the Xie family's children, so that they could get together often when they returned home, which was not only Emperor Jin's sympathy for his subordinates, but also his respect for the Xie family. It's just that when his family Xie An didn't attend the banquet, Wanzhang also figured it out, first of all, he must have known that the children had grown up, and he couldn't chat freely in the presence of an elder, so he didn't come to participate, and secondly, he was in the position of prime minister, and he was in a high position, so he couldn't go back to the house easily.

Yu Jiankang, the children of the Xie family, who usually rarely get together, finally had this moment, and Xie Yan, who stayed in the mansion, was naturally obliged to take on the identity of the master at this time, and took on the responsibility of holding a banquet and holding a conversation when the sons and nephews returned home.

When Wanzhang came to the front hall, what he saw was Xie Yan standing at the second gate to greet the guests, wearing a brocade robe with dark carved moire, and his face was like a crown of jade, and his appearance was dignified.

She wanted to go directly to the living room to meet those famous people of the Eastern Jin Dynasty who she had admired for a long time, but then she thought about it, if she went to meet the guests without going through the host, wouldn't it seem that her identity was too boring, which made people speculate, so she hesitated for a while, but decided to go to the second gate first to say hello to Xie Yan.

Seeing that he had finished greeting a guest at hand, Wanzhang came to Xie Yan with Liu Wu in a low-key manner and called him:

"Second son."

I wanted to call him by his name, but I was still worried that it would be bad to be heard, after all, since the incident that happened yesterday, she had to be careful to avoid suspicion everywhere, and today, when everyone gathered, she was even more cautious by 200%.

The busiest person in the house today has not known how many times he has been called the second son, turned around and just wanted to give a salute, but when he saw that it was her, he was stunned for a moment, probably because he had not heard her call himself for a long time, and he smiled softly after a while: "Why did you come so early?" ”

"The guests are here, why am I still hiding in the room, so naturally I should come out."

The meaning of this sentence is that she is just a guest, the same as ordinary visitors, and there is no need to be special.

Xie Yan glanced at her again, his eyes were a little different from usual, and he paused, and said, "I'm dressed up very well today." ”

Hearing that he was praised, as a woman's first reaction was naturally happy, Wanzhang did work the collocation today, it looks simple and casual on the surface, but in fact, it uses many of the current trends of the Jin Kingdom, and those who know how to look closely can find the exquisite connotation. She knew that all the people who came today were knowledgeable and elegant, and they must not wear gold and silver, let alone be too simple, they must be simple and exquisite, and pure and gorgeous.

The pleasure is overflowing, but the mouth can only be modest:

"Thank you."

While she was still happy, the other party said to her again: "The guests are almost here, let me take you to the hall to introduce the people." ”

"Introduction?"

Suddenly hearing these two words, Wanzhang became more and more happy, she has stayed up for so long, today she can finally go to meet those famous people of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and finally be able to take the first step to become famous in the world? Afraid that Xie Yan would regret it, he immediately nodded his head in agreement, "Okay, then let's go." ”

If you want to say that this great joy must have great sorrow, Wan Zhang followed Xie Yan just a few steps before he noticed that Liu Wu's eyes were not right when he looked at him, and then he realized that he was really happy and sad, he was so careless, he forgot everything under the joy, so he didn't avoid suspicion before, and now he is leading him to see the children of the clan, isn't it more greasy than any cat?

Alas, alas, since the matter has come to this, it seems that her reputation will definitely not be able to explain her innocence after today, and she can only comfort herself that the pure person is self-purifying, now it is better to take one step at a time, and make good use of the benefits of sacrificing her name and honor first.
