Chapter 13: Birthday Celebration

In the next few days, Xie Nian did not come to visit Xie Ke again, according to Cheng's family, the fourth master would accompany the fourth master of Chu to go out in recent days. Almost always at night. As for what they Gu Xiu was doing outside, Cheng naturally wouldn't know, even Cheng Shancai had recently been ordered by Xie Nian not to follow him at home.

But Xie Ke vaguely guessed what they were doing?

Can it really work? In Xie Ke's opinion, it was naturally difficult. After all, how can a person like the Qi family be willing to change his original intention lightly. It's just that why did the Qi family propose to the Xie family? Xie Ke was still puzzled.

Soon, Xie Ke's birthday arrived.

I don't know if Mrs. Xie forgot, or she didn't plan to celebrate Xie Ke's birthday at all, in short, on Xie Ke's birthday, she went to greet Mrs. Xie as usual, and Mrs. Xie also told Xie Ke a few words as usual, and Xie Ke retired.

Cheng's got up early in the morning and cooked longevity noodles for Xie Ke early.

I thought that Mrs. Xie would have to celebrate a little anyway, but she didn't want to be so silent.

Cheng knew that his sister must be uncomfortable, if the fourth grandmother was there, how could her sister's birthday be so cold. Anyway, I held a chrysanthemum banquet on my last birthday, but I didn't want to mention it this time.

"Sister, why don't we have fun in the yard at night. The courtyard door was closed, and the girls sat around. On my sister's birthday, the slaves and maids handled it for my sister. The more Cheng said, the more he felt that this method was good. Anyway, my own girl doesn't like to socialize, so it's better to come freely in her own yard.

Xie Ke didn't have much idea about this.

She has a big deal in her heart now, and she doesn't care if she can't celebrate her birthday. As for Cheng's feelings, Mrs. Xie was cold, and even cried out for her. Actually, it's not necessary at all. If Mrs. Xie really had to hold a banquet for her birthday, she would really be uncomfortable.

The family affairs that affect her have been preliminarily agreed.

Thinking about it, Mrs. Xie felt that this matter was eight ~ nine years old, and she didn't have to worry about her really taking away the Xie family's property...... So naturally I don't care so much about her.

My heart has already been broken, and there is nothing to hurt anymore.

If you don't care about her, you don't care about her, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, even if they give her a big deal, it's just to cover her ears and steal the bell.

Cheng saw that Xie Ke responded, and handed over Sister Pian'er to her nurse, so he went to Zhang Luo in a hurry...... Xie Ke looked sideways at the poor sister in the nurse's arms.

The child cannot be held on his back yet. can only be held in his arms, but he is born white and fat, and his small appearance has grown a little, but he still can't see who he looks like. Sister Pian's mother-in-law's family name is Qiu. Let's call a Qiu clan. Qiu Shi saw Xie Ke looking sideways at the child in her arms, and her arms couldn't help but stiffen a little, but she knew the entire Xie family, and the status of the sister in front of her was the most noble, although the child in her arms was her sister. But that identity is 108,000 miles away.

"Sister, I'm going to be smiling these days, I look so cute when I laugh, do you want to hug the girl?"

This naturally wants to be close to Xie Ketao. Xie Ke smiled and shook his head. "You'd better take her back to the house, be careful of getting cold." This is...... Chase people. Qiu was a little stunned, but he still got up quickly.

The child in her arms didn't seem so cute at this time. And it looks like the third lady at all.

The eyes are not big enough, the nose is not straight enough. Doesn't Miss Three like it...... Qiu Shi guessed to himself. After making up his mind, he tried to appear in front of Xie Ke as little as possible, although they were sisters, but after all, the child's mother ...... This is the filth of the wealthy ~ filthy.

Since Xie Ke is going to celebrate his birthday, new clothes and new jewelry are naturally indispensable. Shui Qing opened the cage and picked out a powdered skirt. Outside was a plain green smock, and Xie Ke was neatly cleaned up before dinner. Such a dress lined the night, and dressed Xie Ke as a fairy on the Moon Palace.

The headdress is a filigree of Nanzhu golden hairpin.

Nanzhu reflects the moonlight......

Bright and shining, clear and clear, a few girls almost looked straight in the eyes. "It's so beautiful for my sister to dress like this." Shui Qing looked Xie Ke up and down and praised. "That's it, the eyes of the slaves and maids are still good, and when they dress up like this, they can ensure that any son and brother will be fascinated when they see their sister." Cong Rui's words made several girls can't help but cover their sleeves and chuckle. "What are you laughing at, it is. Our sister was born so beautiful. If you don't dress up, you're already charming, just dress up simply, and you're simply the fairy of the Moon Palace. How many of you are still laughing at me? I'm not right. No one questioned this.

Xie Ke saw that a few girls were almost making trouble. I couldn't help but speak.

"Alright, now that you're ready, let's order the feast."

Shui Qing responded and turned around to pass the word.

The rest of them also automatically and spontaneously cleaned up the dressing table...... Xie Ke looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and he really didn't dare to recognize it for a while.

Is that her?

She knew that she was born beautiful, and she was wronged in her previous life because of this face. It's good to be beautiful, but in her previous life, she was too soft, and she didn't want to see people after Quan Sheng.

But her good name didn't know how to spread out, and even the capital rumored that the Xie family was beautiful and unparalleled.

In this world, what kind of woman's reputation spreads far and wide, naturally it will not be a young lady raised in the deep boudoir, the young ladies do not see outsiders on weekdays, no matter how beautiful they are, they will not be spread around as gossip, but to praise the woman for being reserved and expensive.

And she just has a good name.

Such a girl is to be ridiculed by the world. It's a pity that she didn't know anything in her previous life, and she felt that it was a good thing that her reputation was far and wide, at least the Quan family married her, and she wouldn't lose face because of her appearance.

But she didn't know until she really married into the Kwon family. It turned out that the whole Quan family thought she was a frivolous girl, and Aunt Quan's grandmother said bluntly that she finally married her, but because of her identity as the daughter of the Xie family. After that, she actually hated her face.

Red face, woe water.

Red face, thin life, after all, are not good words.

Looking at herself seriously at this time, Xie Ke felt that there was nothing wrong with her being like this, it was not her fault that she was beautiful, in her previous life, this beauty may be a burden, but in this life, it is her blessing.

In a trance, Cheng's smiling voice came from under the corridor.

"Sister, come out quickly......" Xie Ke smiled and responded. Today is her birthday, the girls are kind, how can she have a bitter face.

is still worried about the future, but today, she wants to spend her birthday happily.

Xie Ke thought that no one would come to celebrate her birthday today. But when she lifted the curtain and looked into the courtyard, she couldn't help but be stunned.

This is?

The courtyard was brightly lit, and the courtyard was surrounded by red lanterns. The lanterns don't seem to be used in the courtyard on weekdays, and when you look at it vaguely, it seems that the lanterns are painted with pictures. Under the corridor, there are several vivid koi fish painted on it, and the fish swim meanderingly, as if threading a needle, and the word 'splendid' is carried on the side.

Looking farther away, each lantern seems to be different.

But there are auspicious words on the side......

Whose hand is this? Xie Ke was interested, and raised his eyes to look at the courtyard.

The first thing that caught his eye was his father Xie Nian and his uncle Chu Ye, and Xie Ke's eyes were a little hot. Whispered. Xie Nian responded with a smile, and Chu Ye also smiled lightly on the side. On the other side, it is Xie's daughter-in-law, big ~ grandma, second ~ grandma, Sister Yun, Sister Xia, it seems that even Xie Yu has arrived.

Farther away, are the girls and ladies in the courtyard.

The vast number of people actually occupied almost half of the courtyard. "Today is your birthday, and I, as a father, naturally have to personally deliver the gift to you, as well as your little uncle. He's here for your birthday......"

Xie Ke nodded repeatedly.

At this time, the big ~ grandmother Wang smiled and opened her mouth. "Your uncle is not in a position to come, but he has prepared a gift early in the morning. It's not worth a lot of money, but it's a thought. Wang said, and the mother-in-law next to him held a set of well-made thread-bound booklets in front of Xie Ke. The booklet has a few big characters on the top ...... "History of Kyushu". Xie Ke was shocked, this book was written by the same person as the Kyushu Chronicle she had given to her father.

Compared to a few years ago, this thing is worth a thousand dollars.

"Your uncle heard your father mention that you knew about giving books to your father a few years ago. Your eldest uncle thought that since you liked it, he asked someone to find this lonely book, Sister Bao, the eldest aunt is really grateful to you in her heart. The eldest aunt has nothing to ask for, she just hopes that you will marry someone in the future and be safe and happy for a lifetime. "Big~ Grandma Wang is talking from the heart.

Her son, daughter, and sister Bao are indispensable for any of their sons. She lamented her decision more than once.

At that time, she also hesitated, should she be friendly with Sifang? In the end, she decided to get along with the Chu family.

Now that I think about it, that decision was excellent...... Whether it is Xie Nian or Xie Ke, their father and daughter treat them in a long room, which is really generous.

"This ...... Auntie, it's too precious. "Xie Ke felt that it was useless." Silly girl, it's not worth a few silver. This is our heart, and you can accept it. ”

“…… Third sister, take it. Xie Yun persuaded with a smile on the side.

Xie Ke smiled and waved the girl to accept the gift. Big~ Grandma Wang smiled and stepped back. The next thing to send is varied, there are two ~ the clothes sent by grandma, and the little things embroidered by themselves sent by the girls, there are handkerchiefs and purses. Xie Ke smiled and accepted them one by one.

In the end, it was Xie Nian and Chu Ye's turn.

Xie Nian looked at his daughter standing under the porch, and he really felt a lot of emotion. Eventually, he pulled out a bunch of keys from his arms. Cheng couldn't help but be shocked when he saw it. This is? "This is the key to your mother's private vault, which should have been given to you when you got married. However, my father borrowed flowers to offer Buddha. Father has added some more in the past few years, and these things will be at your disposal in the future. ”

Private Library. Who doesn't know that the private vault of the fourth room is full of treasures.

Sometimes when the Xie family visits, Mrs. Xie has to make a special trip to borrow some things from the four-room private warehouse to fill the façade...... Although most of the things in the private treasury were left by the Chu family, in the past few years, Xie Nian found good things and collected them from the private treasury, and he has also collected a lot in the past few years.
