Chapter Seventy-Five: The Birthday Banquet
Needless to say, this letter must have been secretly intercepted by someone. The brother and sister looked at each other and smiled, but they tacitly understood it.
"Yi'er, haven't you remembered the past?" Xie Anchang thought about it and asked directly.
Xie An also nodded, she didn't lie, she didn't know what happened before.
Seeing this, Xie Anchang asked tentatively: "That Wang ......" but he didn't dare to say anything more, for fear that Xie An would quarrel with him like before, which would make the relationship that had finally eased up tense again.
Xie An was also a little sad when he saw his cautious appearance, alas, he blamed Xie An for being too stupid and naΓ―ve before.
"Brother, although I forgot what happened before, but seeing that things are becoming clearer and clearer, I know whether the Wang family treats me sincerely or falsely. It was because I was blinded by lard before that I would believe her words, but I was separated from you. In this world, there is only brother, you treat me sincerely. Xie An also said.
Xie Anchang is very relieved, he hasn't seen him in the past few years, and his sister has finally grown up. But seeing that she is so sensible, I feel that she must have suffered a lot and is secretly sad.
"Brother, where have you been all these years? How are you doing? Xie An also looked at him with a guilty look and quickly changed the topic.
"It's a long story. The **** left home because he wanted to travel all over the country and use medical skills to treat diseases and save people. So I went all the way south and took a boat to Yizhou. Unexpectedly, there was an outbreak of epidemic in a small local village, and I also contracted it when I was treating the villagers, and I thought that I would die in a foreign country, but I did not expect to meet Master. He healed me, and took me as an apprentice, and I followed him to help the world. A few months ago, when we passed through Weicheng, I met my grandmother, and when I heard that the emperor had given you a marriage, I quit and rushed over. β
Xie Anchang's experience is also magical, the "master" in his mouth must also be a miracle doctor, he will be a little miracle doctor in the future, and having a miracle doctor brother sounds quite good.
"Brother, who is your master?" Xie An also asked.
Xie Anchang shook his head: "Master won't let me mention his name to others. said that they met by fate. β
Xie An didn't care, anyway, she didn't know who it was. She had something more important to ask Xie Anchang
"Brother, can you give me some medicine?" β
The brother and sister exchanged words for a while, ate their meals, and went back to their rooms.

Time passed in a flash, and this day was the birthday of Xie Zhishu, the eldest man of the Xie family. Since the day before, the people of the Xie Jiadong Mansion have been busy, and the entire mansion has been decorated with lights, and a stage has been set up between the inner and outer courtyards. The stage is full of tables and chairs, separated by a screen in the middle, one side is the seat of the ladies, and the other side is the place where the old men watch the play.
Xie Anmin came to Xie Anyi early in the morning. She wore a pink ten-panel pleated dress today. As I walked, the peach blossoms embroidered on the skirt loomed, and I could feel the fragrance of peach blossoms. The upper body is a light green armor with silver thread hooks, which looks lively and dignified.
Xie An also originally wanted to wear a pink skirt today, but seeing her dress, she had to ask Ai Yan to help her change into a blue skirt with a goose yellow armor. Although her clothes are also very finely made, they are not as flamboyant as Xie Anmin, and if they are placed in a group of women, they will be inconspicuous and very low-key.
Xie Anmin was very surprised to see her dress, today I can see a lot of official ladies and ladies, if you are lucky, you may even meet the son of the family, who doesn't want her sweetheart to see her beautiful side? However, this dress has fulfilled Xie Anmin, she doesn't want Meng Junchi to see that Xie Anyi is more beautiful than her!
"Sister, let's go find my mother first, and then go to my aunt's place together." Xie Anmin was so affectionate that he took Xie Anyi's arm.
Xie An also avoided it quietly, but Xie Anmin didn't seem to notice it, and still smiled.
The two met Wang, and went with her to the flower hall in the courtyard of the eldest lady of Dongxie Mansion. To Xie An's surprise, Mrs. Xie's mother was also there.
When Wang's mother saw that the Wang family and his party were coming, she saluted and said, "The old slave greets the third wife, the seventh miss, and the eighth miss." β
Wang said hello to the eldest lady, turned his head and asked Wang's mother: "Why is Wang's mother here, but what does the old lady command?" β
"Back to the third wife, the old lady asked the old slave to bring the birthday gift to the eldest master."
"Hmm." After hearing this, Wang ignored her.
After a while, the ladies who came to pay their respects arrived one after another, and Liu was the eldest grandmother in Xie's mansion and was responsible for entertaining female guests. As soon as she sent a group of people to the garden outside to enjoy the flowers, she brought her female relatives in again.
"Mother, who do you see coming?" Grandma Xie walked in with Mrs. Yuwen.
Because Grandma Xie and Mrs. Yuwen are cousins, the Xie family and the Yuwen family are also in-laws, and the eldest lady is naturally close to Mrs. Yuwen. After the two chatted for a few words, Mrs. Yuwen noticed Xie Anyi, who was trying to reduce the sense of storage in the corner.
"Isn't this the seventh sister?" Mrs. Yuwen beckoned and called Xie An over, "I haven't seen you for a few months, this looks more standard." β
"Mrs. Yuwen, you are making fun of me." Xie An also pretended to be shy.
"Look, that's embarrassing." Mrs. Yuwen grabbed Xie Anyi's hand and said to the eldest lady: "You don't know, since I saw this girl for the first time, I thought she was good, dignified and steady, and she would be able to live in a back house in the future." If it weren't for the Holy Admiral who gave her a marriage to Prince Li, I really wanted to be a matchmaker. β
Xie An's head was lowered, and the Wang family and Xie Anmin, who were being snubbed on the side, turned a little pale with anger.
The eldest lady saw it in her eyes, smiled, and introduced Wang and Xie Anmin to Mrs. Yuwen. Mrs. Yuwen looked at Xie Anmin, only said "He is also a Peugeot person" and ignored them, chatted with the eldest lady a few more words, and went out to enjoy the flowers.
Before going out, he patted Xie Anyi's hand and said, "Before going out, Ting girl told me to let me give you a good voice." She has a big stomach and is inconvenient to move around now, and she will send you a post after you get married. β
Xie An also said a few polite words and sent Mrs. Yuwen out.
came and went like this, and I don't know how many girls came. Xie Anyi just dealt with Mrs. Yuwen and felt tired, and was about to find an inconspicuous place to sit down and rest, but Xie Anmin came out of nowhere.
"Sister, my mother is afraid that the two of us will be bored sitting in the flower hall, so let's also go to the garden to help grandma entertain female guests."
Xie Anmin said this very skillfully, if she said to go to enjoy the flowers, Xie An could also excuse herself. If Xie An didn't help the eldest and youngest grandmothers, it would be impossible to say.
Xie An also nodded, and walked towards the garden with Aimo. But for some reason, she always had a bad premonition.
