Chapter 107: Feast
At this time, Tilian and Xie Hengxu said goodbye to everyone in the flower hall, but on the way back to Ling Dengju, they met a group of male guests who came to congratulate him on his birthday.
These people, Tillian has never seen them, they are all fresh faces, but looking at the age of about twenty, it is not difficult to guess that they are the sons of the Su family and the Bai family.
Everyone was gossiping with Xie Hengyuan in the Bihu Pavilion in the front yard, but now that it was time for dinner, they got up and went to the backyard one after another, and they never expected to meet Xie Hengxu and his wife on the corridor.
Tilian bowed, and several people on the opposite side bowed their hands in return, and for a while there were calls for 'sister-in-law' and 'brother and sister', since the scene was a little chaotic.
These people are all people who walk outside the capital, and they have heard of Tillian's fame abroad.
Some of the words are derogatory to her for ignoring etiquette, immorality, not abiding by women's morals, etc., in short, it is detrimental to her reputation, and for the strict detention of women at the time, Tillian's style can be described as a model of scorn for all the ladies.
But there are also some actions that are prohibitive, such as her disregard for etiquette and doing what she wants, so that she can stand in the mall, which is a model of self-improvement and open-mindedness; and her dare to love and hate from the beginning to the end, which is enviable and admirable; Such a woman who can bend and stretch her heart and have a big heart can be called a woman who does not let her eyebrows go, which really makes many men ashamed and awe-inspiring.
Therefore, today, when I really face this woman who is even beautiful and flawless, these men who are sought after in the past few days are rarely restrained.
The atmosphere was a little dull, Xie Hengyuan sighed in his heart, and glanced at Xie Hengxu, who was quietly following Di Lian's side, "I heard that you left the mansion?" ”
Different from their restraint and awe, Tillian wanted to be much more breezy and breezy, only to see her smile lightly and said gently, "There are some tricky things in business, but it's no longer in the way, is the eldest brother going to lead the guests to the banquet?" ”
Xie Hengyuan bowed his head lightly, "Go ahead, come over early after a short rest, don't let everyone wait for a long time." ”
Tilian meekly lowered her eyes and snorted, and took Xie Hengxu around a few people and walked away.
They walked away, and several people on the corridor looked back one after another, and Su Jin, the youngest son of Huaienbo, was the first to sigh, "I never thought of such a sudden encounter, and I had prepared a meeting ceremony to meet this new sister-in-law earlier." is really a beautiful woman. ”
The third young master of the Su family, who was standing beside him, was quite helpless when he heard this, reached out and knocked on his cousin's forehead, and reprimanded, "In your eyes, there is only a beautiful face!" ”
Su Jin rubbed her forehead and frowned, "I haven't finished yet." As he spoke, he glanced at Xie Hengyuan's face in front of him, and muttered, "Third brother, haven't you seen it, the appearance and demeanor of this third sister-in-law of the Xie family are really graceful and elegant." ”
Third Young Master Su shook his head and sighed, gave his cousin a blank look, and warned him to stop talking nonsense.
Xie Hengyuan lightly hooked his lips, as if he didn't care about Su Jin's words, only politely stretched out his hand to signal, "Let's go, presumably my father and several uncles are already here." ”
Because this is a small family banquet, there is no separate table for men and women, and when Tillian and Xie Hengxu returned to the flower hall, it was the time for the banquet.
Although Princess Shenghua has not arrived today, Jiang Luoxiu has come in person.
As soon as Di Lian and the others stepped into the flower hall, Xie Changzhen left his seat like a calf and rushed over, grabbing Xie Hengxu's robe, "Second uncle, come on, I specially took a seat for you!" ”
Now he is acting as a little adult in front of Xie Hengxu, and he has to take care of Xie Hengxu.
Seeing this, Tillian couldn't help but smile, bowed lightly to a table of male guests, and then paced to the female seats, and sat down in the empty seats beside Su.
Although today is the birthday of the Su family, it is still Mrs. Xie who is sitting in the right seat.
She is now nearly sixty years old, and her gray hair is old, but fortunately, she is still in good spirits, especially when she laughs.
Seeing that everyone was at the table, Mrs. Xie turned her head sideways and smiled at Su Shi, "You are the birthday star today, you have the final say, can you open the banquet?" ”
Su Shi pursed his lips and smiled when he heard this, "Look at what my mother said, even if I am a birthday star, it is still what my mother says!" ”
Mrs. Xie was coaxed into laughter by her, nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll say, let's have a banquet." ”
As soon as her old man moved, everyone also laughed and chattered, and it was rare to be lively for a while.
Tilian whispered and talked to Xie Rongzhu beside her, and by the way, she took the gilded jade pendant on her waist and gave it to Brother Huan'er in her arms.
"Why do you still give such a heavy gift?" , Xie Rongzhu saw the palm-sized jade pendant, and immediately snorted.
When Brother Huan heard his mother's tone, he blinked at Tillian with big eyes, and didn't dare to reach out to take it.
"Brother Huan'er called me uncle, I am his elder, the so-called elders can't be resigned, Rongzhu, you can't see me." , She smiled lightly, handed the jade pendant to Brother Huan'er, stroked his head and said softly, "Take it, it was given to Brother Huan'er by my aunt, don't pay attention to your mother." ”
Everyone at the table saw in their eyes, this jade pendant was carved into the shape of a jade rabbit, inlaid with golden flowers and cloud patterns, although it was more precious in their eyes, but as the saying goes, Tillian was wrapped around her waist, and in her opinion, it was just a decorative jade pendant.
Regardless of the big industry like Dike Huan all over Xia Lan, as well as the gold mine under the jurisdiction of Yun Hou, the third young lady of the Xie family, her net worth is only one share in Xia Lan.
If you refuse, it seems that you can't get on the stage. Mrs. Su thought to herself, so she smiled softly and said, "What his third aunt said is right, the elders can't give it away, Brother Huan'er, don't thank you aunt?" ”
Brother Huan'er is also well-behaved, and when he heard his grandmother say this, he thanked him softly, "Thank you, third aunt." ”
Xie Rongzhu accepted it for Brother Huan with a smile, but sighed in her heart, and said quietly with a look on her face, "Since you said such a thing today, I should give my little nephew a big gift when I go back, and you are not allowed to refuse." This means that she will also give a big gift in the future.
The most important thing for the family is this decency, and if you receive something, you will give a gift of the same price, so that it does not seem to have a good share.
Although Tillian was unimpressed, she nodded and smiled.
At this moment, Xie Changzhen ran over from the side again, and when he saw the jade pendant hanging from the waist of the little brother Huan'er, he was a little envious in his eyes, and pouted and raised his chin and said, "What is this, after the second aunt passed the door, she also gave me such a big golden Buddha statue." As he spoke, he clenched his two small fists together, and emphasized to Brother Huan, "Pure gold! ”
The children were unscrupulous, and everyone didn't take it to heart, and they all covered their lips and smiled.
Su Shi took his grandson in his arms and scolded with a smile, "How old are you, and you are still calling your little cousin true." The golden Buddha statue was given to you, it was obviously for your great-grandmother, but you were crooked by the monkey and wanted to go. ”
Mrs. Xie believes in Buddhism, and Tilian used to honor her with all kinds of Buddha statues and Buddhist scriptures, so this golden Buddha was begged by Xie Changzhen, and she didn't feel much distressed.
was poked by his grandmother, Xie Changzhen couldn't hold his face a little, puffed out his cheeks and pulled Tilian's skirt, and said coquettishly, "Then the second aunt will also give me one, Brother Huan'er is a rabbit, and I will count the chickens." ”
Not to mention that it was the princess Bai who felt embarrassed and helpless for her son.
Even Di Lian couldn't cry or laugh at this time, she reached out and pinched Xie Changzhen's cheek, "Golden rooster?" Thanks to what you said, is it possible that you still want to be independent? It's all so big, and they are still fighting with their little cousins, the good things from the second uncle and aunt, but if you look at it, which one is not willing to give? “
Everyone laughed for a while, Xie Changzhen was inevitably blushed by laughter, scratched his head in embarrassment, smiled, turned around and ran. (To be continued.) )
