When Mrs. Xie had a sumptuous lunch, took a nap, changed into a gorgeous summer dress, put on luxurious jewelry, and was ready to go out with dignity, she found that the number of people who accompanied her to the theater had more than doubled. Up to the Wen family, down to Xie Hanzhi, except for Wanqin who stayed on Gongyuan West Street, and Aunt Dajin also wanted to stay to watch the house, they all planned to go with her.

Mrs. Xie couldn't help but be a little confused, but after she was stunned, she felt that this matter was harmless. Originally, she really wanted to be like the Xie family before the accident, where she went to the front and back, there were a lot of girls and mothers-in-law in the class, and the children and grandchildren served in front of the saddle, this is the pomp that an old feudal monarch should have. It's a pity that the Wen family didn't teach several juniors, and no one was willing to move back to the mansion to accompany her, only one suspicious Xie Yingrong was willing to stay by her side and wait, which made her old man feel embarrassed. Now that she has died to the juniors, she didn't expect that she would be able to enjoy the pomp and circumstance again, Mrs. Xie said that she was in a very happy mood.

So the old and young women and children of the Xie family went out so mightily.

Their destination is located at the foot of the Baozhou Mountain, passing from the Pearl Bridge, and it is easy to reach the foot of the mountain by boat and waterway, and then it is easy to change cars. This Taoist temple is quite large, but it has not been established for a long time, so it is not very famous in the city, but I heard that there is the support of an extraordinary financial owner behind it. As soon as Mrs. Xie heard that the main family of Jiao was the Zhao family, a famous family in the city, she immediately actively expressed that she wanted to go to relax.

The Zhao family is not an ordinary scholarly family, since the ancestor of his family in the Yongle period out of a cabinet chief assistant, there are generations of people into the office as high-ranking officials, now the family has scholars, scholars, squires, political envoys, is definitely the leading eunuch in the court. Although Mrs. Xie no longer interacts with her past friends, she has also heard the news that the girl of the Zhao family is most likely to become the crown princess.

Such a prominent family, even if the Xie family had no contact with them before, Mrs. Xie felt that she should make more friends. If she can make friends with any wife and grandmother of the Zhao family, what is she afraid of the Cao family's revenge in Jinling City? Isn't the Cao family so arrogant just because of the queen and the prince? If the crown prince was closer to his wife's family, would his mother's family still be as beautiful as it is now?

Mrs. Xie made a wishful thinking and was full of expectations for today's trip to the Taoist temple.

When the Xie family and his party came to the gate of the Taoist temple, they saw that the carriages had been parked on the gentle slope mountain road outside the door.

Mrs. Xie got out of the car, and when she saw this, her expectations for the Zhao family were even higher.

Xie Xianzhi, as the oldest man, came forward to talk to the Taoist priest who was in charge of welcoming guests in the Taoist temple. He was quite accustomed to all kinds of social occasions, and generously explained his name to the Taoist priest, and said that this trip was for his grandmother to listen to the play.

There are actually a lot of officials and relatives like Mrs. Xie who have been attracted, and a name for a leftist politician can't make that Taoist priest awe-inspired. He calmly led the Xie family into the door, took them to the courtyard where they listened to the play, arranged them to the men's and women's seats respectively, and then sent tea snacks.

When the lady of the Xie family went upstairs and walked to the women's seat, a very lively drama was being played on the stage. Xie Mulin didn't know what he was talking about, but he saw actors dressed as if they were gods walking in circles on stage, babbling and singing words they couldn't understand. She was still stunned, and Mrs. Xie first showed an appreciative look: "It turned out to be someone from the Red Moon Class?" I've heard a few plays from his family before, and he sings well, and that old student has the best skills. ”

Turns out to be knowledgeable? Okay, it's okay for your elderly to watch the play with peace of mind.

Xie Mulin was patient and sent Mrs. Xie and Wen to their seats. She sat at another table with the three sisters, and she didn't bother to listen to any play, but she just paid attention to the surrounding scene, and found that there were really many richly dressed ladies here, and most of the people's attention was not on the stage, but on the viewing seat in the middle.

That was the position of the old lady of the Zhao family and several wives, grandmothers, and girls.

Xie Mulin naturally heard the news that the Zhao family was going to produce the crown princess, although because of the matter of the Wang family's daughter, she was not very confident in the prince's IQ and character, but she would not despise the Zhao family's powerful position because of this. She sat on the side of the viewing seat, separated by nearly a hundred feet, and observed the ladies of the Zhao family with wide eyes, and did not find any girl of the right age and extraordinary bearing who could be the crown prince's concubine, and thought that the other party would not come today.

Xie Yinghui was also whispering to Xie Yingrong: "The sister of the Zhao family doesn't seem to be there, but there is a vacant seat in the Zhao family's banquet, maybe she just walked away temporarily." ”

Xie Yingrong also lowered her voice and said, "Big sister, don't worry, I will accompany you out to find her in a while, and I will definitely let you meet and talk." As long as you can become best friends with the future crown princess, Mrs. Ping Nanbo and the prince can no longer ignore you! ”

Xie Yinghui was silent for a while before she said: "If I can really get along with Sister Zhao, I only hope that I can call my mother back to the capital, my father doesn't have to go outside to be an official, and my brothers and sisters don't have to go back to the countryside to take refuge...... It's just the icing on the cake. ”

Xie Mulin couldn't help but turn his head to look at her: "Big sister, you came specifically to find Miss Zhao?" ”

Xie Yinghui sighed: "Let's try my luck." How many people think this way? It's not easy for me to play the name of the Cao family anymore, and it's still unknown whether Miss Zhao will take care of me. ”

In fact, until this morning, she was still very positive about taking the opportunity to watch the show to make friends with the daughter of the Zhao family. It's a pity that after seeing the food box gift returned from Pingnanbo's mansion, she didn't seem to be able to lift anything, she was discouraged, and she no longer had confidence in her marriage to Cao Wenheng.

Xie Mulin knew where her heart knot came from, but Cao Wenheng was not a good match at all, and it was a good thing for Xie Yinghui to die for him earlier, so he didn't say much.

Xie Yingrong stopped talking with a face, and was afraid that saying too much would cause Xie Mulin to be suspicious, so he hesitated and didn't dare to say anything.

The scene on the stage was sung lively for a long time, and finally came to an end. The actors came out for a curtain call, and the officials and relatives of various families competed for rewards, but they were very careful not to steal the limelight of the Zhao family.

Mrs. Xie asked Mrs. He to send the reward money, and then looked in the direction of the main seat: "Why are there so many people?" How do I squeeze in......" she glanced at Wen, "you go and try." If he can really make the old lady of the Zhao family happy, maybe his father can be transferred back to the capital to be promoted earlier! ”

Wen couldn't help but look embarrassed. She really hasn't had a formal relationship with someone for more than ten years, Mrs. Xie suddenly said......

Xie Mulin interjected: "Old lady, now that there are so many people around the Zhao family, my mother can't say a word in the past, and the Zhao family is afraid that they won't have time to deal with her." When the troupe started the gong again, everyone had to disperse and not disturb the Zhao family to listen to the play. What is enough time for such a short time? Instead of letting my mother do something that I am not good at, it is better to sit still, so that everyone can see that you are not a powerful person, you are more ambitious and indifferent to fame and fortune than everyone else, and maybe the Zhao family will look up to you a few points. ”

"Hmm......" Old Lady Xie fell into deep thought.

At this time, Xie Yingrong came over and whispered in Mrs. Xie's ear, saying that she wanted to accompany her eldest sister Xie Yinghui to change clothes.

Old Mrs. Xie frowned, and when she opened her mouth, she wanted to reprimand her granddaughter for being troublesome, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of an elderly and graceful wife in the Zhao family's banquet, and walked in the direction of the dressing room pointed out by the Taoist priest before.

Her heart moved, and her mouth had already changed her words: "Okay, you guys go, go and see the place for me first." I've had a lot of tea today, and I'm going to go in a moment. ”
