Chapter 177: Mid-Autumn Festival Family Banquet

Regarding Xie Zhanyu's sudden comfort, Xie Yaoguang still knew more or less what it was for. At the moment, I don't know how to tell the truth of the matter, the only thing I can do is to smile and reassure Xie Zhanyu for the time being.

"You have to learn to take care of yourself. Well, since you still have something to do, I won't bother you, and I'll go for a walk in the garden by myself. Xie Zhanyu smiled mildly and strode away from the stone boat.

Seeing Xie Zhanyu leave, Qingluan stepped forward to report the rest of the matter.

"Miss, this is an invitation sent by Miss Su. said that the day after tomorrow was her grandmother's birthday, and the young lady was invited to attend the banquet. Qingluan handed over the gilded invitation in his hand, "Can we start preparing?"

Xie Yaoguang took the gilded invitation and did not open it. Rubbing his fingers over the handwriting on the cover of the invitation, he glanced at it. raised his eyes and sneered slightly, "There is no good banquet." I don't know what surprise Su Qinglin prepared for me at this banquet. ”

"Miss, what do you mean, this is a Hongmen banquet? That subordinate went down to arrange someone to ......" Hearing Su Qinglin's three words, Qingluan couldn't help frowning and asking.

For Su Qinglin, Qingluan really didn't have a good impression of him. After all, Xie Yaoguang ...... Several times the distress was planned by Su Qinglin.

"No need, I'll arrange Zhuo Jing to do it. Qingluan, you go and prepare the gifts for the old lady's birthday banquet for me. Xie Yaoguang's eyes condensed slightly, frowned, and said, "Remember to be delicate and interesting." ”

"Whoa."

After Qingluan retreated, Xie Yaoguang smiled, and his eyes revealed a little coldness: "I don't know who is the most skilled person at this banquet, Zhuo Jing, you can start to arrange it." ”

"Yes." Zhuo Jing replied in a low voice: "Miss, what else do you have to tell your subordinates?"

Xie Yaoguang picked up the pen and continued to sketch on the painting, and smiled: "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, you let them finish their errands and rest, and each of them will go to the festival." A few of you remember to go home and celebrate the holiday with me. ”

"It just so happens that the melting moon brew on West Street is on sale again, and my subordinates remember that the young lady has always loved to drink it." Zhuo Jing looked at Xie Yaoguang who was painting with a smile, and said with a smile: "When my subordinates come back, I will bring you a few altars." ”

"yes, I haven't tasted the Melting Moon in years." Xie Yaoguang narrowed his lips slightly, and a shallow smile was hooked, "It's really a little nostalgic for its taste, it's better that we don't get drunk tonight." ”

"Then the subordinate will arrange the manpower first."

When Zhuo Jing had already walked a stick of incense, Qingluan led a few people to come slowly holding a delicately carved box.

Qingluan walked in front of Xie Yaoguang and bowed his knees, Xie Yaoguang carefully looked at the box, the front and back of the box were carved with the pattern of longevity and the other two sides were carved with the pattern of Magu worshipping Shou, both patterns are lifelike.

But the most amazing thing is that the box is carved from Huanghuali. Xie Yaoguang raised his hand and motioned for Qingluan to open the box, revealing a touch of emerald green luster inside.

The box itself is already priceless, but the lanterns inside are even more popular. The lantern is crystal clear throughout, engraved on it with different sizes and font styles, the font is drawn with gold powder, and the lantern is hung with pearls without fire, and the candle is used as the core of the night pearl for lighting.

"The original family of this jade carving family really lives up to its name, and this Ning Bi Lantern can be called a must." Xie Yaoguang looked at Ning Bi Lantern, and the color in his eyes was a little deeper.

After thinking less. Xie Yaoguang stretched out his hand and rubbed the Ning Bi lantern, with a slight smile in his eyes. The box carved from Huanghuali wood comes from the Ningbi lantern in the hands of the current head of the original family of jade carving in southern Yunnan. These two pieces are priceless in both cases, but they are such a big deal...... It's a little too expensive.

"Miss, please forgive your subordinates for their courage...... Isn't it too heavy for us to give this gift out?" Qingluan saw Xie Yaoguang's expression as usual, and then said in a low voice, "Why don't we exchange gifts?"

It's not that Qingluan is reluctant to give away such a good thing, but in her opinion, it is really a waste to give such a valuable gift to Su Qinglin. Xie Yaoguang left it at home and enjoyed it by himself, which is also a good choice.

Xie Yaoguang smiled softly, slowly hooked his lips and pupils and turned into the distance, "I remember that there is a picture of longevity made by Fu Yuanshan, a master of calligraphy and painting in the previous dynasty, hidden in the Langhuan Pavilion?" That's good, just leave this thing in the house. ”

"Yes, but what is the young lady doing with the dust beads?" When he heard the word dust beads, Qingluan couldn't help but wonder.

"Alas, it's a gift to Wan'er in advance." Xie Yaoguang was silent for a while, and there was a trace of helplessness and regret in his eyes, "That birthday is unstable...... She has to choose. ”

Qingluan lowered his head when he heard this, sighed secretly, and ordered someone to move the box out again.

Xie Yaoguang stood quietly in front of the railing with his hands in front of him, overlooking the garden. His expression was helpless and desolate, with a little compassion. I couldn't help but raise my hand to clap the bar and sing in a low voice, "Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me...... What do I want? ”

Looking up at the sky, Zhaoyang shot straight down in the air, stabbing her so much that she had to close her eyes and look elsewhere. Sure enough, the sun is like the fierceness of the human heart, and people dare not look at it directly.

That's it, even if Su Wan has always treated her sincerely and interacted with her. Some things that have been destined will never stop moving forward because of any change in external forces, and the arrow is ready to be sent off. No amount of pity and sympathy was enough to change her mind. It's just Wanwan'er...... Can you really withstand what is going to happen the day after tomorrow?

After all, a sincere heart cannot resist the ubiquitous darkness.

"Sister Gu, can you teach me to draw? My dad said you can draw. ”

The past has just passed through my mind. Xie Yaoguang's eyes fell on the painting, sighed, and threw the painting into a ball into the bamboo basket.

Yesterday's everything, yesterday's death. She is no longer the person who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the person who stirs up the storm in this turbulent capital is what she should be now.

At the beginning of the unitary period, the sun sinks in the west, and the moon rises in the willows. The talents in the capital ended their busy day and rushed home for the holiday. The Xie Mansion had also closed its doors to visitors, politely refusing all the guests who wanted to come to visit, and Xie Yaoguang had already ordered people to set up several tables for banquets in the garden.

At this moment, Xie Yaoguang was sitting upright on the main seat, and sitting next to her was Xie Zhanyu. At the bottom sat Zhuo Jing, Suzaku, Qingluan and Weiyang Bai Luhualuan and others.

"Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, you don't have to be formal." Xie Yaoguang's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and he picked up the wine and said softly, "I'll drink myself first."

The soluble moon liquor has a mellow aroma, and it is sweet, and it is not strong in the throat.

"I didn't expect this melting moon to be brewed for so many years, and it still tastes like before." Xie Yaoguang took a shallow peck and blurted out praise.

"Yes, things are people, not everything. Only this wine is really the same as before. Zhuo Jing picked up the wine cup and smiled at Xie Yaoguang, raised his glass and said, "Subordinate Miss Jing, you have a glass."
