Of course, Xie Yingrong would not tell Xie Mulin what he really thought. She pretended to be well-behaved and elegant in front of her mother and sister-in-law, and after sitting for a while, she couldn't bear to get up and leave, saying that she was going to see her aunt.

In fact, Xie Yingrong rarely goes to Aunt Dajin's house, not because the room is too small or anything, Aunt Dajin's room is the same as Wanqin's room, although it is an ear room, but it can also be separated from the front and back rooms, which is not depressed, but this obvious partial room and ear house pattern will always remind Xie Yingrong of her previous life in the Jiang family's back house, and it will also remind her of the aggrieved days at that time. Therefore, if she can not go to Aunt Dajin, she will not go there as much as possible, anyway, if there is something to do, she just needs to call Aunt Dajin to her yard. Your own place is big and spacious enough, and it is convenient to avoid others from talking privately, so why bother yourself?

Therefore, today Xie Yingrong took the initiative to go to see his biological mother, and both Wen and Xie Mulin were surprised. But Xie Yingrong didn't care about explaining anything, she needed to stay in the main courtyard, waiting for Wan Long's arrival, and didn't want to go back to her courtyard to wait for her grandmother to send a message, delaying the time she could get along with Wan Long. At the same time, she had to discuss with her biological mother, Aunt Dajin, and find a way to find a time to meet and talk to Wan Long alone. There are some things that she can only tell her future husband that the rest of the family can't hear.

Xie Yingrong left in a hurry, Xie Mulin and his mother Wen glanced at each other, and they both felt a little inexplicable. Xie Mulin intuitively felt that Xie Yingrong wanted to make trouble again, but Wen was pleased: "Aunt Jin will be very happy, right?" She and Sister Rong have been a little stiff over the years, and they are actually not sad in their hearts. Fortunately, Sister Rong's marriage was finalized recently, and Aunt Jin made a lot of efforts, and the mother and daughter got close again. Sister Rong will get married the year after tomorrow, and it will not be so convenient for their mother and daughter to meet in the future, and it is always good to get along for a while. ”

Xie Mulin did not comment and changed the topic: "Has my mother already set a date for the banquet?" Is the location still in the same garden that I originally fancied? ”

Wen's attention immediately turned back: "Oh, the garden will not change, that place is not far from our house, and it is convenient to go from the Yuan family's house." Moreover, the garden was very beautiful in winter, and there was a large plum grove that was well opened, and several houses had both fire walls and floor heating, which was warmest when it was cold, and was much better than feasting at home. What's even more rare is that the room is also spacious, and there is a good small stage. If our family also wants to invite a troupe to sing, we don't have to try to set up another stage. ”

As for the date, Xie Pu has already asked the old man who is the best at watching the sky in the Yamen, this batch of snow days is estimated to stop on the thirteenth day of the lunar month, and then it will be sunny for a while, but how many days will be clear, what changes will occur after the Chinese New Year's Eve, this old man can't say for sure. But even so, the old man has always been very accurate in predicting the weather, and it is said that he can say that he is eighty percent accurate, and even if he is wrong, it is not too outrageous, and there has not been a precedent for speculation that is diametrically opposed to the truth. According to the old man's judgment, Wen planned to set the date of his banquet on the sixteenth day of the lunar month. If there are no accidents, the weather should be relatively sunny at that time, even if the weather is colder and the north wind is stronger, as long as there is no heavy rain and snow, it will not affect the banquet set up indoors.

Xie Mulin calculated the time and hesitated a little: "Will this time be a little rushed?" Today is already the tenth day of the lunar month, and before our family invites guests, there is a banquet at the governor's house, right? Two big banquets in six days, the schedule is too tight, do the two ladies of the Yuan family have enough time to rest? Although after Chinese New Year's Eve, all families have to be busy for the New Year, and may not be able to squeeze out free time to set up banquets and entertain guests, but behind our family, there is only the host of the envoy's family, and the time is still relatively relaxed, and it doesn't hurt to be two or three days late. ”

Wen sighed: "This is also a helpless thing. The host of the civil official's family, after us, there is indeed only the family of the envoy left, but the Yuan family is the gate, not only the civil official will feast on the two wives of his family. In fact, in the next six days, not only will we and the governor have to hold a banquet, but also the other two generals' families will also invite the Yuan family and their wives to the door! ”

Isn't it two feasts in six days, but four in six days?!

Xie Mulin was dumbfounded when he heard this: "Can Old Madam Yuan bear it?" How can there be so many people who want to be treated?! ”

Wen said: "Our civil official yamen in Beiping, the governor and the envoy have discussed it with your father, and each yamen will take the lead in holding a big banquet to entertain the daughters of the Yuan family, don't work too hard for the two ladies." But in addition to the civil official yamen, there are also generals in the army, several generals who have been stationed in Beiping for a long time, all of them used to be the old department of General Yuan, they are all happy for General Yuan Xiao's great achievements, everyone said that they want to celebrate, and they all feel that they have done their own host, and they don't need to work together with others, so there are several games.

"Then there is the husband's family of Mrs. Yuan's maiden sister, although her sister has passed away, but the nephews and nieces of the in-laws are still there, and they must also have a treat. In addition, although the descendants of General Yuan's maternal grandfather's family do not have much contact with the Yuan family, they are blood relatives in the end, and they are also unwilling to be left behind at this time. How many are there? If it's too late a year ago, there are still several hosts in the New Year. They are willing to let our civil servants take the lead, which is already very polite. I don't want to postpone this anymore, and it's better to finish it sooner for the New Year. ”

Xie Mulin sighed when he heard this: "This is also too tiring. I see that Mrs. Yuan and Mrs. Yuan are both born thin, and they don't seem to be people with such good physical strength. ”

Wen said: "Where can I tell Mrs. Yuan to come to every scene?" Our family may not be able to invite her old man. However, if Mrs. Yuan is in good health, most of them will be there every time. The Yuan family has been away from Beiping for many years, and it is rare to have such a beautiful opportunity. When General Yuan Xiao and the county lord get married, and stay in Beiping for a long time in the future, it will be even more necessary to deal with various families. The Yuan family should take advantage of this time to quickly recount the old feelings with many relatives and friends, so that General Yuan Xiao can get more care of his work in the future. General Yuan Xiao himself wants to go to Beijing to offer prisoners, and he can't spare his hands to do this, and the Yan Wangfu has not yet married, so it is impossible to intervene to help him, and Mrs. Yuan and Mrs. Yuan have to work hard for a few days. ”

Xie Mulin shook his head, and suddenly remembered something: "If Old Madam Yuan won't come to our family's banquet, then shouldn't the troupe invited by our family to help the fun?" Mrs. Yuan's preferences are different from her mother-in-law's, so we can prescribe more medicine. ”

Wen Shi became interested: "This is reasonable, but how should we adjust it?" If you want to invite a team that sings southern opera, I'm afraid that there are few people in Beiping City who can handle it. Besides, the governor's wife seems to have ordered the best one of them, if our family books another one, it won't let Mrs. Yuan get tired of hearing it, right? ”

Xie Mulin was about to discuss this matter with his mother when he suddenly heard a commotion not far away, which seemed to come from the street outside. The mother and daughter looked at each other, both puzzled.
