Chapter Seventy-Two: The Flower Society
When he received the invitation from the Xue Mansion, Xie Yaoguang was quite surprised. After thinking about it, I can probably guess whose handwriting it is. Wanli pursed her lips and personally sent the housekeeper of the Xue Mansion out.
"Miss, do you really want to go?" When Suzaku unloaded the last hairpin ring from her hair, she sighed, "The slave thinks it's better for you not to go." ”
"No problem."
Since King Shou held a banquet in Xue's mansion, he must have his reasons, probably because Xue Leyan had a dislike for himself at the last Spring Day banquet.
Now Xie Yaoguang can be regarded as King Shou's staff, and the Xue family is the force that supports King Shou, and both parties are King Shou's right-hand men. If you have a suspicion because of this little thing, you will hurt your harmony in the future, and you will inevitably lose a lot of money because of a small thing.
And Princess Shou - Xue Yanyue is the best matchmaker.
Thinking of this, Xie Yaoguang couldn't help but sneer. Does she look like someone who wants to be so stingy?
After the summer, the cicadas chirp and make people unable to sleep peacefully. Xie Yaoguang only slept for a while, and then got up to freshen up with Suzaku's light awakening. After cleaning her face repeatedly, she raised her arm and asked Suzaku to dress her one by one.
On weekdays, the color of her clothes is extremely elegant, but today she chose a sandalwood shirt, with a crimson treasure flower dark pattern long skirt, with a vermilion tassel on her chest and two white jade butterflies at the end. Twisted an ingot, in addition to the lotus crown, and on both sides of the bun decorated with two tassels plum hairpins, eyebrows Huadian intended to be Hanlian.
"Miss looks much better than she usually looks like this." Suzaku smiled and put the pearl on her neck for her, and said with a smile: "The slave looks like a fairy on it." ”
"Poor mouth." Xie Yaoguang squinted at her and said angrily.
This look is the most similar to the dress of the queen when she was young.
Counting the time, he went out with Suzaku and went to Xue Mansion with the distance in his memory. Xie Yaoguang came just at the right time, and most of the women and nobles of all families had already come.
At this time, she just got out of the carriage and happened to meet Su Wan, Xiao and Xu, who came together, and Wen Yan said hello and walked to the mansion together. I couldn't help but admire that Princess Shou was really an interesting character, and knew that she was not familiar with other noble girls, so she invited the three people who had a good relationship with her to come together.
I couldn't help but have a hint of appreciation in my eyes.
As she spoke, a well-dressed grandmother greeted her, bowed slightly to a few people, and said with a smile on her face: "I don't know which one is Xie Yaoguang, Miss Xie." ”
"I am, I don't know what Mama is?" Xie Yaoguang raised his lips and smiled in his tone.
"The old man's surname is Zhou. On the order of the princess, I invited a few people to go to the flower hall to drink tea and talk. ”
Xie Yao bowed his head gently, and several people followed Mama Zhou to the inner courtyard of Xue Mansion.
There are already a lot of people in the flower hall in the inner courtyard, and almost all the ladies of the family who are good friends with King Shou are among them. The two ladies at the head were dressed decently, with a friendly smile on their faces, and it was easy to make people feel good when they looked at them from a distance.
The maid guarding the door saw Mama Zhou coming to greet her, and invited a few people to enter together.
"This is Miss Xie, right?" The young woman in the blue skirt at the head raised her eyes and looked at Xie Yaoguang and smiled.
"Exactly." Xie Yaoguang stepped forward and bowed to her skirt, "Meet the princess, the mother is healthy"
The etiquette is thorough, and you can't fault it.
Princess Shou smiled on her face, and beckoned to Xie Yaoguang with a gentle attitude to signal her to sit next to her.
Clear. Under the strange gaze of a crowd, he slowly walked to Princess Shou's side and sat down. Looking around without a trace, he began to recall in his mind who these ladies were present.
The lady in the blue skirt should be the mother of Princess Shou - Mrs. Xue, as for the others who really can't remember who it is, it seems that they have never seen it before.
"I have long heard from the princess that Miss Xie is both talented and beautiful, and she is studying under Mr. Qin Yan. I can't help but like it now. Rou sighed. Mrs. Xue looked at Xie Yaoguang with a gentle expression, and there was a very friendly smile on her lips, "Now I see, Niangniang really didn't fool me." ”
In her eyes, Xie Yaoguang saw a flash of surprise. Hooked lips and smiled, in Xie Yaoguang's impression, Mrs. Xue should have seen ...... After the Yuan.
As for Princess Shou praising her? She doesn't believe it, and she has been to King Shou's Mansion so many times and has never dealt with Princess Shou. has always been as delicate as her, and she has roughly guessed what Mrs. Xue's intention is, and she tilted her lips gracefully.
I'm afraid this is Mrs. Xue getting closer to her relationship with Princess Shou~ Hehe, he bowed to Princess Shou.
"Yaoguang is ugly, and it is difficult to be elegant. As for the master, it was probably by chance that he passed the examination of the Jixia Academy. Xie Yaoguang raised his lips and said.
Hearing this, Princess Shou and Mrs. Xue looked at each other and smiled.
Everyone present looked at their noses and noses, and they also laughed. Everyone knows that this banquet was originally set up for this Xie Yaoguang, and now King Shou relies heavily on this amazing strategist, and their family is attached to King Shou.
In addition, Xie Yaoguang has a gentle temperament, there seems to be a pearl hidden in his phoenix eyes, and the distant mountains are holding green lips and teeth. Although it is the same as the daughters of other families, she is gentle and generous, and her temperament is very comfortable to get along with, and she can't help but feel good.
"Mother." A soft female voice and a lilac-colored figure crashed into her eyes.
Raising his eyes to find prestige, it was Xue Leyan. A trace of dissatisfaction flashed on Xue Leyan's face when she saw Xie Yaoguang, she didn't like Xie Yaoguang.
only felt that her methods were charming, so that her brother-in-law looked at her differently, and her sister acquiesced to this. But last night, her mother told her that now Xie Yaoguang is King Shou's staff, and she has to rely on it. You can't be offended easily.
Shen Shaoqing Chaoshou Princess and Mrs. Xue were blessed, and then nodded coldly to Xie Yaoguang and sat on the other side.
Xie Yaoguang is a few years older than her, and she has experienced a lot more things than her. Naturally, he wouldn't bother with her, after all, for Xie Yaoguang, no matter how foolish Xue Leyan was, she was just a little girl.
Such etiquette in front of guests. What was lost left and right was also the face of the Xue family. But having said that, it's no wonder that the Xue family can't be among the five surnames, how can such a bearing be compared with the five noble girls.
Most of the topics of conversation between the ladies are also, boudoir anecdotes such as clothes, fat powder, and jewelry. Because they all know that Xie Yaoguang is in charge of most of the Xie family's shops in Gusu, and the Xie family's jewelry fat powder is quite famous in the circle of nobles in the capital, so he asks Xie Yaoguang a few words from time to time. Xie Yaoguang listened with a smile, occasionally picking a few pleasant answers.
Xie Yaoguang has always been interested in such a house, and he is not interested. Even when he was at home in Luoyang in the past, he could push one for such a banquet. She was already in poor health, and it was especially handy to push such a party on the grounds that she was not feeling well.
"Miss Xie doesn't look like she likes this kind of banquet very much." Princess Shou turned her head and looked at Xie Yaoguang gently, smiling.
Hearing this, he chuckled, "Not really, it's just that I don't know them well and I know what to say for a while." Besides, I don't like to be lively, so that my mother can laugh. ”
