Chapter 126: An Accident on the Road
Looking forward to it day and night, the lotus banquet finally arrived in the expectation of a group of nobles in Beijing, although the banquet was in the evening, many people began to dress up ceremoniously early in the morning, just to see if there was any dissatisfaction at that time, you can change it immediately.

Xie Jialin naturally didn't sleep well all night, she got up early in the morning to dress up, turned out her dozens of beautiful dresses, and studied what hairstyle to comb and what jewelry to wear there.
Maybe the young man was in good spirits, or maybe the decoction she secretly drank a few days ago had an effect. In short, although she didn't sleep well at night because she was too excited, Xie Jialin still had a ruddy complexion and did not show any fatigue.
"Miss, how about this set of green smoke and willows?" Yun Ying took out a green corset skirt, embroidered with intricate patterns with gold thread and lined with light gauze streamers, which looked valuable and eye-catching enough.
Xie Jialin shook her head again and again, the color of this dress was too bright, she didn't know why she fell in love with this dress, now that she thinks about it, it looks too grand to wear it usually, and it is too conspicuous when she takes it to the lotus banquet, doesn't she put her intentions in front of everyone?
She sighed, she didn't dare to compliment the aesthetics of the two maids, it was better to do it herself and choose by herself!
After a whole hour of careful selection, Xie Jialin finally chose a dance dress lined with white lining, covered with aqua blue gauze and mist silk, with white soft-soled shoes. The hairpin was chosen by her in the Jade Pavilion that day.
"Miss, can you dress up now?" Cui'er asked, standing aside with a comb.
"No, I'm going to have lunch now! At noon today, my father said that we would eat together in the hall, and I would inevitably meet the second sister and them at that time. It's time for this to happen, and nothing can go wrong! ”
Xie Jialin sat on the edge of the bed and stroked the chosen dance dress, her eyes shining with the inevitable light.
Xie Yilin, Ma Wenbin's shame, I can report it back soon!
The next thing was just as Xie Jialin thought, during the lunch meal, the second sister and his wife looked at her from time to time, as if they were surprised why Xie Jialin had no preparation. But it's not too blatant.
In this way, Xie Jialin is very satisfied, the attitude of the two of them, it seems that her father must have told them something to make them so jealous.
So if she is really lucky enough to be favored by a nobleman, I believe that her father will definitely support her fully!
After lunch, Xie Jialin originally wanted to take a nap to make up for the lack of sleep last night, but she was still too excited, and she didn't fall asleep for a long time. I simply got up and practiced the dance I was going to perform at night again, and it was counted.
It's dusk in a blink of an eye, although the dinner party in the palace will naturally prepare a meal. But in order to ensure the image, few ladies from your family will really eat at the dinner, but the dinner is not short, which creates a very embarrassing situation.
That is, for the sake of image, the ladies can't eat too much, but after the banquet is held, many people are hungry and dizzy.
It's just a spectator, and the worst thing is that those who still have to prepare for a performance have no strength, how can they play?
Over time, some people have come up with a countermeasure, that is, to eat some meat at home to replenish energy, so that they will not be unable to eat anything in the palace banquet, and they will not run out of strength until they stay up.
So in the end, after eating some spiced beef at home, Xie Zhaolin and Xie Jialin got into the carriage of Xie's mansion and drove towards the palace in the gradually darkening sky.
As the sun set, the summer heat gradually dissipated, and Xie Zhaolin and Xie Jialin naturally sat in a carriage for various reasons.
But what other affectionate words do these two sisters want to say? It's just that they hate each other! Xie Jialin has been suppressing a breath in her heart these days, vowing to vent after the lotus banquet, as for now, she doesn't want to look at her second sister's face for a moment.
I simply closed my eyes and sat against the wall of the car to close my eyes and recuperate. Xie Zhaolin naturally didn't want to face her, so she lifted the curtain slightly and looked at the scenery outside.
It was dark, and the streets that had been crowded with people were a little deserted, so they probably went to dinner. Of course, there are also some young masters who have a few dollars in their hands and come out to play together, which just makes up for this shortage.
Xie Zhaolin looked at it with no interest for a while, feeling very bored, and saw that the carriage where Master Xie and Mrs. Xie were sitting had already gone forward, so he wanted to put down the curtain and rest for a while.
However, just as she was about to lower the curtain, she suddenly noticed a black shadow flashing by the side of the carriage, and when she wanted to take a closer look, it was empty again, and half of the shadow was gone.
So she poked her head out a bit, and looked around to see if she had taken refuge somewhere else, or if it was some small animal.
Seeing that she didn't stick her head back for a long time, the green warbler was also a little curious, and asked, "Miss, did you have something missing?" ”
"No, I just saw it." Xie Zhaolin's voice came in through the car, and it sounded a little muffled. She didn't tell the green warbler what she seemed to see, lest the timid maid scream again later.
Her Xie family had already been in the limelight some time ago because of rumors of haunting, and she almost couldn't stay in Beijing. I finally broke the rumors, but if I fell into it again, I don't know if there is such good luck.
Xie Zhaolin looked around and didn't see anything, and it was not good to get out of the car to check for this reason, so he turned around and smiled comfortingly at the green warbler: "I've seen it, it's still far from the palace!" ”
Oh, Xie Jialin, who was still closing her eyes and recuperating, listened, and the corners of her mouth imperceptibly hooked up a sarcastic smile, but no one noticed it in the dimly lit carriage.
She thought sarcastically in her heart: How much do you think this second sister doesn't care about the lotus banquet?! But it's still the same as her! No, it's still on the way, and I can't wait to see if the palace has arrived!
Just when everyone in the carriage was thinking about it, the carriage, which had been driving steadily, suddenly shook violently and then stopped.
A few people in the car didn't pay attention at first, thinking that they had encountered other drivers again, so they just stopped temporarily. But after stopping for two teas, the carriage had not moved, and Xie Jialin couldn't bear it for the first time.
It's true that they came out early, but if they delay like this, they will be late sooner or later. It's still far from the palace, stop a few more times, and that's worth it! (To be continued.) )
