Chapter 982: The Feast

However, to the surprise of the sisters Xie Mulin and Xie Yinghui, Xie Yingrong was really honest at the banquet in King Yan's Mansion.

Except for the time when she entered the door, she looked left and right to look at the interior scenery of Yanwang Mansion, which seemed a little rude, and she behaved decently at other times, and kept following behind her mother and sisters to greet and greet other female guests, and after sitting down, she also stuck to her seat and did not run around. Except for occasionally talking to the daughters of other families at the next table, she didn't make any special acquaintances, or brag in front of people about how extensive she was in the capital in the past, showing off her so-called talent. Even if Zhu Pei, the county lord of Yanwangfu, made a special trip to greet Xie Yinghui and Xie Mulin sisters, she only smiled reservedly and saluted, without any rude words and deeds.

is such an honest and peaceful Xie Yingrong, which makes Xie Mulin and Xie Yinghui a little afraid to admit it. If she had always been so worry-free, why had her sisters been vigilant for so many years?

Xie Yinghui couldn't help but murmur: "Could it be because she and Wan Long are married?" Being able to be married to the man she wants to marry, can she really make such a big change? She couldn't help but think of herself, although she was very happy to marry Huang Yan, she didn't change her nature. She always thought that Xie Yingrong's recent well-behaved was pretending, but she never expected that after entering the Yanwang Mansion, in the face of countless dignitaries and nobles in front of her, this concubine would be able to continue to be well-behaved! When did she have such good concentration?!

Xie Mulin vaguely guessed something. Xie Yingrong once inadvertently revealed some information, it seems that something will happen to the Yanwang Mansion in the future, maybe the power and wealth are no longer there, and she can't get into the eyes of her, the reborn, so in the face of the Yanwang County Lord, who will plummet sooner or later, she has no desire to stutter?

This is not good news.

Xie Mulin frowned and looked at Xie Yingrong, feeling in his heart that he still had to pay more attention to the news in Beijing. If possible, try to prevent the three princes from ascending to the throne. In his last life, he took the throne, but there were so many people who were friendly with the Xie family who were unlucky, although I don't know if it was caused by him, but the style of the three princes has always been not very friendly to Yan Wangfu, the Xie family and others. Even if it is to live a peaceful life of peace and security for the country and the people in the future, you can't let such a big-minded and narrow-minded prince hold the imperial power!

Xie Mulin pondered for a moment, then was distracted by the sound of orchestral strings coming from the stage.

Today's banquet of Yanwangfu, the entertainment program is a small drama invited by Yanwangfu, singing the story of "mother-in-law's tattoo". Although it is not a popular repertoire nowadays, because it is a plot of a heroic mother teaching a hero's son, it is somewhat in line with the true story of General Yuan Xie, who grew up to be a great hero who defended his family and defended the country and fought bravely to kill the enemy under the upbringing of his grandmother and mother.

Mrs. Yuan was fascinated by it, and from time to time she exchanged her views on the lyrics with Princess Yan, and the two seemed to be very close to each other. Mrs. Yuan is probably from the south, and she is not used to watching this kind of drama with a strong northern style, relatively speaking, she is not so devoted, but she is also very kind to the lord of Yanwang, chatting with her from time to time, looking at her with love in her eyes, and obviously very satisfied with this future daughter-in-law candidate.

There are also officials and relatives specially arranged by Princess Yan to support the banquet next to the banquet, two of them are the female dependents of the branch clan next to the Yan Palace, and there is a governor's wife, and these three help Princess Yan and the county lord say something that is inconvenient for them to say, and the atmosphere quickly stirred up.

Mrs. Xu, who was arranged to sit in the corner, could only sulk with the two clan ladies who had always been close to her. Since the last time she called Xie Mulin, the second girl of Xie at the tea party in Yanwangfu, she was forced to ask questions by Mrs. Tuesday, so she simply called herself sick and thanked the guest and did not see outsiders. When the news of Mrs. Zhou's death came out, she had already spread the news that her condition had improved, but now she was "seriously ill" again, and she couldn't even come to the door to offer condolences, so she avoided the embarrassing scene of meeting with the daughter of the Zhou family.

It can be said that she has been ill for a long time, and she has no chance to meet and negotiate with her allies, let alone make more contacts. After the death of Master Zhou, she really didn't have a backer who could handle it in the Beiping realm - she never regarded the Yanwang couple as a backer. Now that the Yuan family has made a comeback, even if General Yuan had an unpleasant conflict with her, she has the cheekiness to take the initiative to stick to it. She doesn't have a daughter to snatch a future husband from the county lord Zhu Pei, but she always has to take advantage of the relationship between the Yuan family and the Yan Wangfu to win the support of the army for herself, so as to add bargaining chips to herself.

However, the daughters of the Yuan family still seem to be resentful of her various insults and exclusions back then, and have no intention of reconciling with her. Princess Yan arranged her in the corner of the banquet, and then called three or two clan ladies to surround her, stumbling her steps, and telling her not to take the initiative to come to the Yuan family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. In addition to being angry, she also signaled to her close officials to greet Mrs. Yuan, trying to mention her "old man" during the chat. However, the governor's wife actually interjected and changed the topic, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Yuan family also pushed the boat down the river, and some people specially pulled away the officials and relatives instructed by Mrs. Xu, squeezed far away, and did not let her come forward. Mrs. Xu's plan had to fail again.

She is now on fire, but she is helpless. She could sprinkle in front of Princess Yan, but doing so in front of Old Madam Yuan and Madam Yuan would not help her appeal. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Yuan family would definitely not favor her because she cried a few words of pity. Because she cried pitifully like this back then, she talked about her deceased husband and her deceased mother-in-law, so she squeezed the Yuan family out of Beiping City. The daughter of the Yuan family has a grudge in her heart, how can she be fooled?!

Mrs. Xu can only secretly hate the blatant exclusion of Princess Yan's mother and daughter, and then resent the Yuan family's daughters for holding grudges, and then complain that Mrs. Zhou died at the wrong time - if the Zhou family does not want to keep filial piety now, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Yuan are old acquaintances, and their friendship is not bad, so it is just the right time to help her come forward to win over the latter. Besides, the Thursday girl in the second room of the Zhou family is also of the right age, and she is still a beauty, so she may not be able to snatch Yuan Xie, the wishful husband, from the hands of the county lord Zhu Pei!
