Chapter 5: The Feast
Xie Roujia was taken to the front yard by Du Jiaona, and the living room was the room where the king of Dongping County lived before.
Although I just came here yesterday evening, I didn't recognize it when I came back after a night.
The two rooms here have been arranged into a study, and the old man sitting on the main seat at this time is none other than Mrs. Xie.
"Grandfather!" Xie Roujia stepped forward happily and couldn't help but redden.
Old lady Xie lost some weight, her hair was whiter, but she was in good spirits, and she nodded again and again when she saw Xie Roujia smiling.
"Okay, okay." He said, reaching out and touching Xie Roujia's head, "If you become a parent, you are an adult." ”
Xie Wenjun walked out of the room.
"Uncle, it's arranged." He said.
The king of Dongping stood up when Xie Roujia walked in, and turned around when he heard Xie Wenjun's words.
Xie Roujia was still standing beside Old Lady Xie, and she felt that the king of Dongping County glanced at her, and she blinked a little puzzled.
"There is no one else, the elders are the old lady and the fifth master." Shao Mingqing, who was standing in the corner of the house, said suddenly, "Your Highness and Madame don't have to wait, you can salute." ”
Only then did Xie Roujia understand that she was going to bow to her ancestors.
However, in the previous life, the first time she got married, she recruited her son-in-law and did not return to the door to recognize her relatives, and the second time she married to the Zhenbei Palace, the north and south are separated, and it is naturally impossible to return to the door to recognize her relatives.
This time, because it was fake, I didn't care about this etiquette.
She glanced at Shao Mingqing, and Shao Mingqing gave her a faster look.
Xie Roujia stood beside the king of Dongping County, and Xie Wenjun led them inward.
There is an image on the bar in the inner room, of course, it is not from the Xie family ancestral hall. Instead, he only used pen and paper to write the substitution of the ancestors of the Xie family.
The king of Dongping and Xie Roujia kowtowed to incense, completed the sacrifice, and then returned to the outside The atmosphere was even more lively.
"It's time to give a red envelope, a red envelope." Shui Ying happily poked An Ge Yu with her hand and whispered.
"That's for juniors." Brother An couldn't help but speak when she poked her.
"A few of us are here today, and everyone has a share in what juniors are not juniors." Shui Ying said.
Over there, the king of Dongping County had already received the meeting gift from Old Lady Xie and Xie Wenjun.
Shui Ying began to be eager to try, Shao Mingqing smiled when she saw it, nodded to her, and Shui Ying immediately ran over.
"Miss Roujia." She grinned and saluted, holding out her hand.
Xie Roujia sneered, and the king of Dongping County took out a red envelope from his cuff and handed it over.
"And Ango." Shui Ying said, "He was too shy to ask for it." ”
Brother An felt the gaze of the dazzling man who couldn't look directly. With his head down, he couldn't wait to run out immediately.
The king of Dongping took out a red envelope again. was stopped by Xie Roujia.
"No, no, Brother An is older than me." She said, smiled and walked over to Brother An and stretched out her hand, "Brother An should give us a gift." ”
Shui Ying laughed. But just laughed twice. Brother An actually reached out and took out something and handed it over.
Does he really have a gift to give?
Shui Ying looked at him in surprise.
Xie Roujia was not the slightest surprised. Smiled and reached out to take it.
"White Tiger Fang?" She was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Brother An's neck, "Yours?" ”
Brother An hurriedly shook his head.
"No, no, no. I, I asked someone to find one. He lowered his head and said, afraid that Xie Roujia would not believe it, so he reached out and took out the one in his neck to show her, and saw the girl smiling in front of him.
"You're amazing!" She said happily, holding the pendant in her hand and turning around, "Your Highness, Your Highness, this is a white tiger tooth." ”
Brother An looked up a little uneasily, and for the first time his gaze fell on the man.
The little tiger tooth was being placed in his outstretched hand by Xie Roujia.
His hands were slender and white, as if they were carved from jade, and Brother An felt that he had never seen such a beautiful hand, and it was even better than Miss Roujia's.
"White Tiger Teeth, this is a good thing, only the best wizard and the most noble person among the descendants of Baiyue can wear it." He said in a clear voice, "This gift is very valuable. ”
He looked at it with a smile, as bright as a waterfall in the sun's sun, and Ange lowered his head again.
"It's a shame that you're a few years older." Shui Ying said, "If you don't receive a red envelope, you have to give a gift." ”
Du Jiaona laughed.
"Double for you, you're the youngest." Xie Roujia said with a smile.
As soon as her words fell, the king of Dongping handed out the red envelope, and Shui Ying took it unceremoniously.
"Brother-in-law, and mine." Xie Rou also said suddenly, stretching out her hand.
King Dongping smiled and handed her one.
"Thank you, brother-in-law." Xie Rouqing said.
"Miss, I have two." Shui Ying smiled and showed off to her.
"Look at you, you're all like children." Du Jiaona smiled.
Although there were only a few people, there seemed to be a large family bustling in the room.
The banquet was placed here, there were male guests outside, and even Brother An was a little cramped on the table, Du Jiaona took three girls, large and small, to squeeze into the Luohan bed in the inner room and set up a kang table.
Old lady Xie looked pleased.
"Your Highness." He looked at the king of Dongping who was sitting at the bottom and said.
"Grandfather can call me Nineteen." The king of Dongping said with a smile.
"Okay, Nineteen." Old lady Xie said, looking at him with a little sigh, "Jiajia, this child, is a bitter child, I see it now and feel it, you are really good to her, I am relieved, and her grandmother is also relieved to be under the spring." ”
At this point, my voice was a little choked.
"Nineteen Lang, her grandmother has always felt guilty about her, it was her grandmother who brought her into such a situation in the first place..."
Xie Wenjun coughed lightly on the side, interrupting Old Lady Xie's words.
"Uncle, don't mention these on a big day." "It's all gone," he said. ”
Those are all things that can't be said to people within the Xie family, although the grandson-in-law in front of him makes himself called Nineteen Lang, he is not the Nineteen Lang of ordinary people.
Old lady Xie noticed the gaffe and hurriedly raised her wine glass to cover it up.
"Grandfather. Roujia has always been doing what she wants to do, and these things are also her own choices. The king of Dongping said, "If you feel tired and upset, this is what makes her sad and uneasy." ”
Xie Wenjun laughed.
"Yes, grandfather, Your Highness is right." "Don't think about it anymore," he said. ”
Old Lady Xie also smiled.
"Okay, if you understand her, I'll be more relieved." He said, draining the wine in front of him.
"We stayed here for a while. Grandfather can come over at any time. Dongping Junwang said.
As soon as these words came out, Xie Wenjun and Old Lady Xie looked surprised. Shao Mingqing, who had been silent sitting on the side, also frowned slightly and glanced at the king of Dongping County.
"Not in a hurry to go back to the capital?" Xie Wenjun asked.
What does it mean to live here for a while? Shouldn't the bride go and see her in-laws?
"Her business is not done yet, and she can't leave now, and she will not feel at ease if she leaves." Dongping County King said.
Her business.
Old Lady Xie and Xie Wenjun looked at each other with a look of astonishment.
They naturally knew what Xie Roujia was going to do, so the king of Dongping also knew?
When I learned about this family business. They were very upset. After all, what the imperial court values in marriage is the reputation of the bloodline of the Xie family's Fang Dannu. And Xie Roujia is bent on ruining the reputation of the Dannu bloodline.
They also wanted to find Mrs. Xie to object, but Mrs. Xie didn't see them at all, and waited anxiously for Xie Roujia to marry. was brought in to make a return gift for Xie Roujia, and after seeing Xie Roujia's happy appearance, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Xie Roujia is about to let go of this matter.
It's okay like this, the girl became a relative and left the Xie family, forgetting these things and living a good life.
So they can't talk about some things, so as not to let the king of Dongping County notice that he dislikes Xie Roujia, no matter what, they have been in love for a long time, even if the Xie family is unbearable in the future, there will be no big problem.
Unexpectedly, they were still cautious, and the king of Dongping County actually said it straight to the point.
"She, she told you?" Xie Wenjun asked.
The king of Dongping County nodded with a smile.
Xie Wenjun and Old Lady Xie glanced at each other again, their expressions a little surprised.
Did Xie Roujia trust him, or was he stupidly tricked?
"I already knew that I had known her for a long time." The king of Dongping said with a smile.
I have known each other for a long time.
These eight words made Xie Wenjun suddenly enlightened.
"Oh, so this marriage is not just a marriage." He blurted out.
It turned out that Lang had a concubine who was intentional?
Old Lady Xie obviously thought of it too, and her expression was a little strange.
Unexpectedly......
This stupid girl turned out to...
And this county king actually took a fancy to her....
Xie Wenjun and Old Lady Xie's eyes could almost burn the king of Dongping out of a hole, and the king of Dongping still looked indifferent.
"Yes." He said, "Marriage is not just about marriage, there is another reason. ”
Du Jiaona, who had been listening to what was being said outside, pursed her lips and smiled, and reached out to pinch Xie Roujia's face.
"Little girl, I didn't see it, I dared to make a private decision for life, and you still told your fifth uncle that I am bold, and you are bolder than me." She chuckled.
Xie Roujia originally didn't feel much about what they said to the outside, but she only reacted when she heard Du Jiaona's words.
"No, it's not." She blushed suddenly, "That's not what I meant. ”
"What does that mean? You didn't recognize it before? Du Jiaona chuckled.
"Yes." Xie Roujia said, "But, everyone knows it." ”
"Haven't you been in private before?" Du Jiaona chuckled again.
Privately? It is true that no one knows about the correspondence.
Xie Roujia's expression froze.
"But, that's, that's not which...", she said.
"Which is which?" Du Jiaona pinched her ear and quipped.
"Oh, Aunt Five!" Xie Roujia was grabbed by her sleeve.
Du Jiaona had already picked up a glass of fruit wine and handed it to her lips.
"Fifth aunt toasts you." She laughed.
Shui Ying sat up straight with her wine glass in her hand.
"I respect, I respect." She shouted.
The sound of laughter resounded in the room, making the originally somewhat stagnant atmosphere outside happy.
Lang has the intention of having a concubine, which is better than fame and profit.
Old Lady Xie and Xie Wenjun glanced at each other and smiled.
"Drink." Xie Wenjun paused the wine jug in front of the king of Dongping County with a straight face.
The king of Dongping County smiled and did not speak, picked up the wine jug and poured wine, and drank three glasses in front of Old Lady Xie and Xie Wenjun.
"Alright, alright." Old lady Xie saw that he was still pouring wine, so he hurriedly stopped him, "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables." ”
Xie Wenjun looked at Old Lady Xie with a smile.
"Uncle, you are too partial, and when you have a grandson-in-law, you don't care about the face of my nephew." He said.
Old lady Xie reached out and picked up the wine jug in front of the king of Dongping County and handed it to Xie Wenjun.
"I love you too, oh, give it to you, you drink it all." He said.
"Uncle!" Xie Wenjun said with a smile.
The king of Dongping County smiled, and Shao Mingqing, who was sitting on the side, also smiled, lowered his head and poured the wine.
Old lady Xie was old and happy, and although he was persuaded to drink a few more glasses, he fell asleep in the carriage.
The king of Dongping County stood at the door and watched Xie Wenjun and Xie Roujia arrange for Du Jiaona and Xie Rouqing to get on the bus, and Shao Mingqing stood over.
"I thought you were hiding it." He said.
"There's no way to hide it, and you can't hide it." The king of Dongping County said, "She is going to do things in Pengshui, there is no need to hide it from anyone, the old lady they care about her, if she hides it, she will definitely guess and be uneasy." ”
Shao Mingqing smiled.
"Then, you can deceive." He said.
The king of Dongping turned his head to look at him.
"Nope." He said, "Marriage is not just marriage, there is indeed another reason, doesn't Shao Gongzi also know?" ”
Shao Mingqing was dumbfounded, and then laughed again.
"Yes, yes, I know." He smiled and nodded.
Yes.
For people like Mrs. Xie Wenjun who really care about Xie Roujia, a family affair is always more reassuring than repaying the favor.
So, what about yourself?
Shao Mingqing looked at Xie Roujia, who was standing next to the car and didn't know what to say to Du Jiaona, and was laughing.
