After Xie Yinghui listened to her sister's words, she fell into deep thought.

She never gave an answer, but Xie Mulin was not in a hurry. This kind of thing is related to Xie Yinghui's lifelong happiness, how can it be decided in a while? Moreover, the Guiyuan banquet is close at hand, Xie Yinghui cares about her brother Xie Xianzhi's lifelong affairs, and may not have the mind to think about other things. Anyway, the Xie family can't leave for the time being, and Huang Yan wants to participate in next year's Spring Festival, and he can't run away either. After a few days, it was not too late for Xie Mulin to ask his eldest sister what he thought.

Near evening, two mothers-in-law came to the Chengenhou Mansion to ask to see Xie Yinghui, saying that they were sending autumn clothes to their daughter for their aunt Cao Shuqing. Xie Yinghui had only been to the Chengenhou Mansion a few days ago, although she was impatient to see them, but they came to the door politely, and it was not good to refuse people directly, so she had to let them in. However, she listened to the two mothers-in-law describe how elaborate and luxurious the clothes made by Mrs. Gu for Miss Biao, and then looked at the colors and styles of the clothes, which were in line with Cao Wenluan's usual preferences, and felt funny in her heart.

It's only been a few days? Even the needlemen in the Chengenhou Mansion rushed to work day and night without eating or drinking, and it was impossible to make a whole set of such exquisite costumes for Xie Yinghui, but it was much easier to borrow flowers and offer Buddha. Although Cao Wenluan is arrogant, he is not a person who cares about clothes and pounds. But if the mother wants to make a motherly gesture, even if she makes a dress or a small coat with her own hands, it doesn't hurt, why bother to come up with such a flashy thing, and not show sincerity at all?

Next, the two mothers-in-law also vaguely revealed the true intention of this trip: "The eldest lady and the aunt heard that there is a banquet for nobles in the garden of Miss Cousin's house tomorrow, presumably Miss Cousin will also attend, right?" It's just that Miss Biao has been away from Beijing for a long time, and there are no elders around to support her now, so she shows her face alone in front of nobles, and I don't know if she will be afraid? The eldest lady said that she could let a few young ladies in the family come to accompany Miss Biao, so you don't have to worry about any noble person you meet! ”

Xie Yinghui's face immediately showed a mocking smile: "Why bother? Tomorrow is the eldest princess of Yongning to hold a banquet in Guiyuan, although our brothers and sisters are the host's family, but they will never go to other people's banquets. If the nobles are summoned, we just go to see us, say a few polite words, and come back, can we still go to the banquet of the royal family members? I don't have that face. But the eldest uncle and aunt, who were originally relatives of the emperor, must also be the distinguished guests at tomorrow's banquet, and it is very easy for a few cousins to go, why did they turn my mind back? Aren't my aunt and mother joking with me?! ”

The faces of the two mothers-in-law are not very good-looking. Of course, the Cao family wants to participate in tomorrow's Guiyuan banquet, if they can successfully meet King Yan and persuade King Yan to accept the third prince as their heir, then the prince will not have to worry, and the second prince will not be able to become a grasshopper after the autumn! Who knew that Empress Cao and the crown prince spent a few days of effort, but they couldn't get the invitation to the banquet, and some children in the clan originally agreed to take Cao Wentai there, and the queen mother had a message to Queen Cao, telling her to control her mother's children. The Cao family knew that this was the emperor's intention, and they didn't want the Cao family to get involved in the matter of the heirs of the Yan Palace. Cheng Enhou and his wife had no choice but to find a way from Xie Xianzhi and Xie Yinghui's brother and sister in private. If the owner of Guiyuan invited his cousin to a banquet, what else could the emperor say?

Who knew that Xie Yinghui actually saw it and refused directly. If it was in the past when the Cao family was infinitely beautiful, where did they suffer such anger?!

However, the two mothers-in-law didn't dare to throw their faces at Xie Yinghui, and before going out, Mrs. Chengenhou told them that even if things didn't work out, they couldn't offend Miss Biao. The Xie family is not as good as before, if it can be wooed, it should be wooed, even if it can be related to the Yanwang Mansion. The Cao family and the Xie family have enmity with the third room that has long been dried, not the long room and the second room, and with the relationship between the two families and Xie Xianzhi and Xie Yinghui, don't make too much trouble with each other.

The two mothers-in-law politely said some good things, and seeing that Xie Yinghui didn't mean to talk about it at all, they reluctantly said goodbye. As soon as they left, Xie Mulin got the letter and arrived, glanced at the gorgeous clothes, and turned to Xie Yinghui: "Don't take it to heart, the Cao family is still willing to be friendly with you and the eldest brother now, and they don't mean to treat you as enemies." When we arrive in Beiping, these things in the capital will have nothing to do with you. ”

Xie Yinghui smiled bitterly, opened the sleeve corner of the gorgeous dress, revealing a small embroidery pattern: "Look, this is the unique mark of Cao Wenluan's clothes, my mother wants to send me a piece of clothing, pretending to be a loving mother, but I don't even bother to do this superficial work, what should I say?" I really don't have any hope for her now! Anyway, she has the Cao family to rely on, even if she really divorces from the person surnamed Fang, she still has no worries about food and clothing, and lives a rich life. The Chengenhou Mansion is willing to accept her back to her parents' house to live, what else do I worry about for her?! ”

"Then don't worry about her!" Xie Mulin said, "The road is all walked out by yourself." Your mother has her own dreams, and she has worked hard to realize them, no matter what the result is, she will be benevolent. She doesn't regret it herself, so why should you feel sorry for her? You and her are not all the way, you have different ideas, and your future prospects are naturally different, so you don't need to be influenced by her. ”

Xie Yinghui looked at Xie Mulin, smiled wryly, her eyes were red, she took her second sister's hand, and she couldn't speak for a long time.

Xie Mulin patted the back of her hand and sat with her for a while before pulling her up: "Let's go, it's time to set the table for dinner." The old lady doesn't know what will happen today, I can't stand her alone, the eldest sister will share the burden for me! ”

As for the dinner on this day, how Mrs. Xie did it, and how the brothers and sisters of the Xie family fought with her, I will not repeat them one by one. Since Xie Yingrong was still grounded, she was still thinking about the chrysanthemum banquet in the Pingchang Marquis Mansion all day long, counting the time, and feeling sad that she was likely to miss this banquet, and she didn't realize that a feast was about to be ushered in in Guiyuan for the time being. Xie Mulin also consciously blocked the news from her, and did not allow anyone in the family to talk more. Shunxin was still recuperating from his injuries and couldn't get out of the yard, Ruyi noticed that there was something wrong, and he didn't dare to ask more, so Xie Yingrong still didn't know anything about Guiyuan, which also made several brothers and sisters breathe a sigh of relief.

The next morning, Guiyuan was almost ready, and the distinguished guests were about to be ushered in, and Xie Jinzhi also rushed home in time by carriage.

He told his brothers and sisters all the instructions of the Song family: "It is said that the emperor has invited several groups of lobbyists, but we are just small people, and we can only add to it." If you can really see His Royal Highness King Yan and have a chance, I will say what Master Jiao has instructed, and there is no need to mention the others. If you don't have the opportunity, you don't have to force it. Grandmother said, let us rest assured, everything has Princess Yongning in front of us. If Her Royal Highness the eldest princess can't convince King Yan, who can blame us juniors? ”

When Xie Xianzhi heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, his psychological pressure is the greatest, as the eldest brother, he wants to lead his younger siblings to meet King Yan, and what he needs to say, he should also speak. If one carelessly causes King Yan to be angry and affects his father, it will be too bad! Now that he has the words of his uncle and grandmother Song, he feels that the weight on his shoulders is lighter.

Xie Mulin smiled when he saw this, glanced at all the siblings, and clapped his hands: "Okay, everyone is here, let's quickly change our clothes and wait in the lounge." Guiyuan is about to have a banquet, although I don't know when His Royal Highness King Yan and the eldest princess of Yongning will summon them, but it is always right to prepare early. ”
