The whole banquet was full of laughter, one dish after another was taken down, and one after another was served to the table. They are all one of the best nobles in the capital, and the girl who serves behind them puts the dishes in the small plate, only eats two bites together, and picks up the handkerchief to wipe the mouth to indicate that it can be withdrawn.

Seeing that desserts began to be served on the table, Qiu Xiang almost felt like she was about to lose her strength. Seeing that Xie Fang still didn't look strange at all, his heart was like a mess, could it be that the amount of medicine was not enough, or the medicine primer before Shuangqiao was not put right? When he was in doubt, he saw Xie Fang moving the embroidery stool very unnaturally, wanting to stand but not daring to stand. Qiu Xiang's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly took a few steps forward, ignoring the surprised gaze of Yuan Yue beside her.

As soon as Qiu Xiang walked behind Xie Fang and stood up, she heard an extremely indecent voice coming from the embroidery stool where Xie Fang was sitting. Xie Fang was also frightened by herself, and sat there motionless. Because it was outside, even though it was relatively quiet during eating, there was the rustle of the leaves in the wind, the sound of the water near the river, and the footsteps of the girl when she was serving food, so it didn't attract too many people's attention.

Runiang beside her put down her chopsticks and glanced at Sister Fang, and then began to eat again. Xu Xiu also raised his head to take a look because he was close to each other, and when he saw that everyone did not react, he lowered his head again. Seeing that no one was paying attention, Xie Fang breathed a sigh of relief and sat up straight.

Just as he was about to pick up the spoon and eat the crystal balls in the bowl, another gas came out from under him, and this time the sound was obviously louder than the last time. Xie Ping, who was on the other side, seemed to feel something, and suddenly raised his head and looked at Xie Fang. Xie Fang didn't dare to look at her, and hurriedly lowered his head and drank. Looking at Xie Ping out of the corner of her eye, she seemed to be talking to Jian Yingwan, and Jian Yingwan glanced at herself and then concentrated on eating the food on the plate.

Xie Fang felt as if she was being roasted on a fire at this time, and the feeling brought by below was getting stronger and stronger, and it was too late for her to stand up and avoid it at this time, only to hear a louder voice than just now, and at this moment the whole table looked at Xie Fang. Xie Fang lowered his head stiffly, tears about to flow out.

Xie Ping seemed to reflect all of a sudden, wiped her mouth and just wanted to open her mouth. I saw a little girl next to Xie Fang kneeling on the ground with a "poof", her head touched the ground, and she said vigorously, "Slave and maid should die, slave and maid should die......

Xie Fang looked at Qiu Xiang kneeling at his feet in shock, and suddenly came back to his senses. pretended to be very angry and scolded, "The shameful thing can't go down yet." ”

Qiu Xiang hurriedly responded, stood up and lowered her head and retreated. Xie Fang also put down the handkerchief in his hand and smiled slightly, "I'm really sorry, this girl is not usually like this, I'm going to find my sister-in-law and help you change the table." ”

After speaking, he did not wait for everyone to answer, and ran away.

"Giggle...... Why are the masters, slaves and maids all the same, is this country mansion less food and drink on weekdays, oops, let me say it......" Xie Ping wanted to say more, but was blocked by Xie Fen who was separated by a loud voice,

"Did the second lady try this 'Seven Fruit Family', I heard that it was the seasonal fruit that my sister-in-law specially transported back from the south for this banquet!" The sister-in-law in Xie Fen's mouth refers to the Xu family.

"If you say that, I'll really have to taste it." Jian Yingwan took a bite with great face. Xie Ping looked at the two of them and swallowed the words that came to his lips.

After a while, Xu came in a hurry with Xie Rong. The ladies at the table all got up to give Xu's salute, and Xu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's all because we don't take care of it, so that the young ladies are frightened." I just set up a table on the Linbo floor for your little girl's flower banquet, do you want to try it? ”

Everyone didn't have anything to do, and they followed Xie Rong in twos and threes and went to Linbo Tower.

Although the lady at the next table didn't know what was going on, no one asked, and they were still eating lively. After the meal, people left one after another, but still not much. As mentioned earlier, on the one hand, this autumn banquet is a tradition of Zhongguo Gong, and the other main reason for getting together with the nobles of Beijing is that the families of children of school age will take such an opportunity to look at each other.

Therefore, at this time, those who are still sitting in the pine crane garden generally have sons and daughters who want to marry or marry.

Shuangqiao applied powder and rouge to Xie Fang again, so that her face looked normal.

"Okay, you'll go out for a while and act like nothing happened, you know?" Xu Shi said while helping her straighten the beads on her head.

"Yes, sister-in-law." Xie Fang exhaled hard and walked out behind Xu, who walked up to Qiu Xiang and stopped, looking up at her. Qiu Xiang stood respectfully, hanging her head slightly, without the slightest flustery.

"You are a good one, and knowing the decency of the master is your decency." After saying that, he raised his feet and walked out.

Qiu Xiang watched her sister-in-law and sister-in-law go out of the inner room to the middle hall, and let out a long breath. It's risky and dangerous, but it's worth worrying about being afraid, and it's not in vain to plan for yourself and Shuangqiao.

From designing to pull down an unlucky person so that Qiu Xiang could serve in the garden banquet, to luring the second lady to eat those snacks made with unground beans for two days in advance, to the medicine that his brother went to the pharmacy on the outskirts of Beijing to prepare that can react with beans. You can't make a mistake step by step, just like this medicine, if you don't have a little, it has no effect, and if you have more sounds, you can't finish it, and you have to ensure that you can only have a sound and not a taste, and my brother doesn't take him less to make a real yàn, and now it seems that a qiē is worth it.

Although Xie Fang was sitting there talking and laughing with the ladies around him, he was not as lively as when he listened to Wisteria's story. The old lady couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and Xu nodded at the old lady, signaling not to worry. In fact, for the Zhongguo Mansion this time, the most important thing is to choose someone for Xie Fang, and the Xu family naturally knows the old lady's intentions.

Jian Yingwan leaned closer to her mother and said something softly, while Hu Shi, the princess of Yunjun, looked at Xie Fang with a smile, looked at Xie Fen for a while, and then turned her gaze to Sun Ting. Xie Fang ignored it completely, but the other two young ladies lowered their heads very unnaturally.

Xie Fen felt the princess's gaze coming, tried his best to make himself look natural, and elegantly picked up the teacup and took a sip. Thinking of what his father said to him on the way to Beijing, there are now three young masters in the Yunjun Palace, who have reached the age of discussing relatives. One is Jian Tang, the eldest son of Shu, who is from the side concubine Li and is 18 years old this year. One is the second son Jian Mo, born by the late princess, 16 years old this year, and the other is the third son Jian Yan, 14 years old, who is from the current princess Hu.

Xie Fen knew what his father meant, thinking that he could be involved with King Yunjun, and if he formed a family of children and daughters, then he would invisibly contribute to his father's great cause. So no matter which one you marry, Yunjun Wangfu is your goal.

And Mrs. Pingxi Hou has been paying attention to Xu Xiu, the daughter of Hubu Shangshu, Xu Xiu has been sitting next to her sister-in-law Jian Yingrong, who knows the rules very well, neither participated in the lively discussions between Runiang and Sister Fang and Xie Ping, nor did she seem to be too cold, occasionally inserting a few words, which can always make everyone's eyes focus on herself. looks thoughtful, and behaves very calmly, the only thing that makes people regret it. But after thinking about it, his third son is a continuation, as long as he has a good character, it doesn't hurt to be a concubine, and Xu Guangda only has this one concubine, I heard that he has been raised under the name of Mrs. Xu since he was a child, and Mrs. Pingxi Hou couldn't help but think about it carefully.

The adults here have their own thoughts, but over there, Xie Ping couldn't help but ask Xie Fanglai, "Sister Fang, why are your girls like this, isn't this the rule in your yard" After speaking, he picked up the handkerchief and covered his mouth and smiled. Xie Fang was about to return the mouth as soon as she raised her eyebrows, but Sun Ting tugged at her sleeve.

"People have three urgencies, doesn't Sister Ping usually eat whole grains?" Ru Niang said next to her.

"It's food, but there is no such strong person in our house. I see, is Sister Fang's girl a good learner, that is to say, how to do the master, how to learn it below" This sentence was clearly said It was Xie Fang who made a fool of himself just now.

"What are you talking about? Where did it come from? Xie Fang couldn't help but say it out loud. After a moment, a room of children turned to look at her. Xie Fang hurriedly shut his mouth and turned his head angrily to ignore Xie Ping.

Tan was a little embarrassed, and Mrs. Tan, the sister-in-law next to her, hurriedly said: "Otherwise, it's better to be a girl at home, you can say whatever you want, even if you say it wrong, if you do it wrong, the elders don't care about it." ”

Tan's mother, Mrs. Jing Anhou, then teased her daughter-in-law, "So, you have been pretending to be an elephant in front of my wife for many years, and you haven't told me the truth, right?" After saying that, he was happy.

"Ouch, my mother really wronged my daughter-in-law, even if I don't tell the truth to Hou Ye, I don't dare to lie to your old man." Mrs. Tan deliberately spoke in a tone, causing a room full of people to laugh.

Hu Shi looked at Xie Fang thoughtfully.
