19. Chapter 19
He An is a slightly upright person, and her natural royal temperament makes her look aggressive. Don't look at the flowers around her now, there are still many official wives who are afraid of her in private.
Xie Liangying stood there after saluting, looking at He An and the others, the sweat in the palms of his hands became more and more, and the sweat on his back was about to reveal his jacket.
He An looked up and down, and the smile that was originally slightly raised spread on his face. She opened her hands and said to Xie Liangying, "Come up to me." After Xie Liangying came over, he held her hand and rubbed it for a while, "The newly opened fat powder shop near Gongyuan is yours, right?" I've heard about you a long time ago, my girl has been clamoring all day long to change the rouge of Danguitang since she used the fat powder that her brother brought back. At a young age, it is really rare to have such a blue heart. โ
Xie Liangying has lived for two lifetimes, and her combined age is almost catching up with He'an's current age, but this is the first time that the eldest princess has held her hand and talked with such a pleasant face. She didn't dare to take credit, and said honestly: "The recipe is not what I thought, it was made up by the guys in my shop." I was thinking that women should be pleasing to themselves, but I love beauty and treat others with myself, so everyone should think the same way. But it's really my luck to be able to make the eldest princess and the county lord like it. โ
He An raised his eyebrows and did not claim the credit of others, which is indeed not bad. After feeling Xie Liangying's feelings, He'an put down the shelf and joked with her: "Women are those who please themselves? That's a good point, so who is Miss Xie Wu for? โ
One sentence made Xie Liangying's face red.
The subordinates of the Hou Mansion came over at this time, saying that Xue Jian was coming. The young ladies who were still reserved in front of He'an just now are excited. One by one, you have to show your most beautiful side.
Xie Liangying wanted to take this opportunity to blend in with the crowd, but he was pressed by He'an and was not allowed to leave, and he was anxious like an ant on a hot pot.
The grandmother of the Xie family had bright eyes, which was a godsend. Xue Jian must come over to thank He'an for presiding over the friendship, so isn't Xie Liangying, who is sitting next to He'an, the most conspicuous? I still thought that this girl was not dressed well today, but now it is more effective than dressing up to the sky.
Xue Jian wore a purple dress today, with a black embroidered gold belt around his waist and a piccolo hanging from his waist. Xie Liangying knew that the flute was not used for playing, in fact, Xue Jian was not interested in music and did not understand it. It was only in the shape of a flute, but it was actually a short sword for self-defense.
Xie Liangting looked at Xue Jian with a blushing face, her appearance was dignified and rhythmic, isn't the lover of Wen Chengwu right in front of her? But before she could move, someone behind her pushed her out of the way and moved forward. Xie Liangting glared at her dissatisfied, and found that it was Xie Liangyun. Looking at the admiration in the eyes of her sixth cousin, she was a little surprised. The second lady had already said many times in private in the second room that the Xie family had cultivated Xie Liangyun as the eldest concubine of the emperor, and Xie Liangyun had already followed the grandmother of the Xie family into the palace many times, and he also knew the eldest son of the emperor.
Now...... I'm afraid that this wishful thinking has come to naught. Xie Liangting remembered the script she read on weekdays, and inexplicably thought of a sentence in her heart. I can't help myself, and I can't forget it.
Although Xue Jian had a smile on his face, he was a little alienated. The bloody aura he brought down from the battlefield had not completely faded, and he looked like a jade-faced man with a chilling coldness. The flower hall was full of female dependents, and it was inconvenient for Xue Jian to come in directly, so she was led by the grandmothers of the two eldest princesses and led them all the way.
When he arrived at He'an, he gave He'an the courtesy of a monarch and a minister. Coaxed He'an to cover his mouth and smiled: "What is pretending, it's not like this in front of my brother." She glanced at Xue Jian and asked him to pay attention to Xie Liangying beside her, with a somewhat joking expression on her face.
Xie Liangying was restless by Xue Jianruju's gaze, and her pink face was as red as an April cuckoo, which was very good-looking.
"Thank you eldest princess for coming today, if there is no eldest princess to help, I am afraid that I will not be able to hold this opening banquet." Xue Jian spoke to He'an, but her eyes were always looking at Xie Liangying.
He Anxin sneered, what kind of strength is this Xue Jian pretending. Before coming over, I told me to keep Miss Xie Wu by myself. And when they have a beginning and an end, they are naturally happy to be a matchmaker. Now, it seems that there is a beginning and an end, but this beginning and the end are not the other. And the eyes that make people want to eat, when they are sitting are blind? It's not too particular, and if you want to spread it, won't you lose people's reputation.
Just as He An thought, Xue Jian's eyes staring at Xie Liangying were seen by everyone in the flower hall. Many people feel that they have made a dowry and are happy in vain, and this banquet is actually for Miss Xie Wu. I'm afraid that these two people had made a private relationship earlier, and now that Xue Jian is famous, he can finally get a beautiful woman.
Xie Liangting was naturally unwilling, but she had put more of her mind on Xie Liangyun. Looking at the jealousy on Xie Liangyun's face, she secretly said that the Xie family should not want the sisters to fight for one person, otherwise it will be the same as the Liu family at that time, and it will become a topic of conversation in Manjing. It will even affect that he can't get married.
She rolled her eyes and looked at Xie Liangying, who was sitting at the top. If you want to say that Xie Liangying and Xue Jian have a personal relationship, Xie Liangting doesn't believe it. The grandmother of the Xie family was very strict with the young ladies in the house on weekdays, and almost every day she told them not to make trouble. Xie Liangying can have the opportunity to go out of the house alone, and that is still after there is a shop. And the Marquis of Yunyang returned to Beijing to seal the Marquis, but it was only the work of the past few days. No matter how you look at it, there is no intersection at all, so there is no chance to have the love of children.
Xie Liangyun, who had been paying attention to Xue Jian's actions, also noticed that something was wrong between the two of them. Her face was pale, her hands hidden in her sleeves clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into the flesh of her palms.
Except for Xie Liangting, who didn't intend to say anything, no one found out that something was wrong with her.
The elusiveness in Xue Jian's eyes made Xie Liangying very uncomfortable. She wanted to escape, but she couldn't because she was pressed by He'an. I can't force myself to face this somewhat unkind gaze.
After beating herself, Xie Liangying didn't look at her. Xue Jian finally withdrew his gaze and walked away.
Looking at his departing back, the ladies were relieved. But I don't know if it's their illusion, when Yunyang Hou left just now, the evil aura on his body was even heavier. Curious people couldn't help but look at Xie Liangying's body, as if they wanted to see something from her.
He An finally mercifully returned Xie Liangying to the Xie family's grandmother.
The uncertain Xie Liangying deliberately walked behind Xie Liangqing, but she still couldn't block the approving gaze of the Xie family's grandmother. Xie Liangying sneered in her heart, is the Xie family going to push themselves to the Yunyang Hou Mansion? Thinking of Xue Jian's eyes, there was something unpleasant. She thought with some complaints, God really wanted to go against herself, and finally decided to swing her sword to kill her, but she wanted to let the enemy provoke her.
Now that it has been determined that Yunyang Hou has a favorite person, it will be boring for everyone to continue to stay. Many ladies couldn't hold back before leaving, and specially said sour words to the ladies of the Xie family, but the grandmothers of the Xie family didn't take it to heart. Compared to these people, they can't see that they can't eat, but they have benefited, and now they are just waiting to arrange for Xie Liangying and Xue Jian to meet a few more times, so they will set the marriage by the way.
The grandmother of the Xie family looked at Xie Liangying, who was sitting in the same car with her, in the carriage, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she felt. She won't be like Mrs. Zhao, who spreads rumors before she has seen anything, and now the young lady of the Zhao family doesn't even dare to see anyone.
The Xie family went back to the house together, and as soon as they got home, they dispersed first and went back to the yard to tidy up their clothes. Xie Shenzhi hurriedly pulled his wife into the main house, his face was a little bad, and asked, "When I was drinking in the outer courtyard, I heard a few colleagues say that the five girls and Yunyang Hou seem to be a little wrong?" You were there, what the hell was going on? โ
If his own girl doesn't know how to seduce a man in public, he won't show mercy. Even if you keep it at home for a lifetime, you will never ask a girl to marry out again, such an ugly thing is the most humiliating.
The grandmother of the Xie family covered her mouth and smiled: "How can I even know about you outside." โ
"No, it's a lot of uproar. How many people are staring at Yunyang Hou's marriage now. Xie Shenzhi didn't have much of the heart to joke with his wife, so he sat on the stool angrily, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Don't worry." The grandmother of the Xie family patted Xie Shenzhi on the shoulder, "Ah Ying was raised in front of me, how could she be so disproportionate." At that time, all the ladies and ladies in the flower hall were there, and the eldest princess was also there. No matter how much Ah Ying has feelings for Yunyang Hou, she will never pull down her face and do such a thing. โ
"So......?"
"It's Yunyang Hou who has fallen in love with Ah Ying." The grandmother of the Xie family was a little colorful, but Xie Liangying โกโก it by herself, "Ah Ying didn't shed half of her daughter's attitude." Although it is a little unpleasant to spread out, reasonable people know that it was posted by Xue Hou Baba, but it has nothing to do with our Xie family. Besides, why should the lord bother with those gossip? They have no wind or waves on weekdays, and they talk about things without a shadow with noses and eyes. After a long time, I will be tired, and I will not say any more. โ
Xie Shenzhi's frowning brows finally relaxed, since it was Xue Jianyu's granddaughter's intention, he didn't care so much. turned to think of how much help the Xie family could bring to the Xie family if they married the Yunyang Hou Mansion.
The grandmother of the Xie family has been a husband and wife with him for decades, and she couldn't understand his expression, she said, "I know what you're thinking, and I've calculated it on the way." Ah Ying is still raised by me, and I will โกโก it carefully, so that she must be docile and filial piety. I don't care about the things in the court, the lord has to deal with the Hou Ye. She bent down and said in Xie Shenzhi's ear, "That new marquis looks like a loyal one, if he can make the emperor's eldest son befriend him, the mother can also feel more at ease." Let's get this done, Ah Yun is the eldest princess of the emperor, and even the crown princess, isn't it a matter of nine out of ten? โ
"Not bad." Xie Shenzhi approvingly, "I'll do this thing, and you โกโก Ah Ying well." โ
"I know. Let go of this. โ
However, Xie Shenzhi and Xue Jian had no contact, and they didn't know what to say when they went up rashly, so where to talk. Xie Shenzhi has been speculating about his intentions all year round, and he already has a set in people's hearts, so it is naturally the easiest to do what he likes. And Xue Jian's "good" is clearly displayed, isn't it Xie Liangying.
