Qiu Zhengshen said busily, "Tired father-in-law and mother-in-law have been waiting for a long time, it is the juniors who are not filial."

Xie Chang waved his hand, "There are guests at home today, you and Brother Tan, Brother Zhong will go to the outer courtyard with me, Ah Miao, you take the children to dine here with your mother."

Xie's daughter's name, Xie Tanmiao, is the third in the family and the only daughter of Xie's generation.

The daughter of the Xie family has always been raised like a man, not only discussing the prologue with her brothers, but also taking her name according to the same generation as her brothers.

After the men left, Mrs. Xie ordered the meal to be set, and the atmosphere became more and more silent and depressed.

There were four tables in the flower hall, Mrs. Xie took Xie Jianing and Xie Jiameng to sit at one table, Feng stood aside to serve, and the rest sat at one table.

There were the same dishes on every table, except for the old lady Xie and the seat on her right for a bowl of soup as white as jade and thick as pulp.

Old Madam Xie's right hand side is empty, which is reserved for the Feng family.

The name of the soup is very simple, called goat milk soup, the main ingredient is goat milk, but the method is very cumbersome, there are no less than 20 kinds of auxiliary materials in it, and the large and small fires are boiled alternately for three hours to get a small bowl.

It is said that it can strengthen the body, nourish the yin and nourish the skin, and is the most suitable for married women, and it is a recipe handed down by the ancestors of the Xie family.

For decades, Mrs. Xie and Feng's must drink a bowl of goat's milk soup every day for breakfast and lunch, and Xie's is also bound to drink every day regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

It's a pity that there is no such bowl of goat milk soup in front of Xie, who returned to his parents' house.

Somehow, Qiu Xiyin thought of a sentence, heaven is a good reincarnation, who does God forgive?

In her last life, in her short life, Xie fully showed her biological daughter what it was to ignore and what it was to dislike, so it was natural for her to be ignored and disliked by her biological mother.

Of course, perhaps, she got the order wrong, Xie was ignored and disliked by her mother, so she also had to ignore and dislike her daughter, and it just so happened that she hit the muzzle of Xie's gun.

After Mrs. Xie took the first bite, Feng Shi smiled and invited everyone to eat, not to be polite, not to be restrained.

Feng is Mrs. Xie's maiden niece, and gave birth to Xie Jiashu to her, very much Mrs. Xie's blue eyes, meaning that after distributing a few chopsticks and dishes, Mrs. Xie ordered her to sit down to eat.

During the entire family banquet, Mrs. Xie only occasionally said a few words to the Feng family and Xie Jianing sisters, completely ignoring the Xie family and everyone who returned to their parents' house with the Xie family.

Xie's back was straight, his neck was high, he was eating with his eyes slightly lowered, not to mention laughing, his eyes didn't move a little, and Qiu and a few juniors below didn't dare to laugh or speak.

In the entire flower hall, only the voice of Mrs. Xie's table could be heard, and the voice of Feng's occasionally persuading the guests at the tables here to eat more, and the atmosphere was strange and stagnant.

Pity her aunt!

Except for Xie Shi, who was able to eat unhurriedly and freely, the others, including Xie Jianing and Xie Jiameng, tried their best to reduce their sense of presence and activity, holding chopsticks and gently eating the food that the maid sandwiched into the bowl one by one.

No one cared about what to eat or how much to eat, and everyone prayed that Old Madam Xie would finish eating quickly, and this ordeal would pass quickly.

Fortunately, Mrs. Xie pays attention to health preservation, she doesn't eat much, and the goat's milk custard doesn't look much, but it is very real, Mrs. Xie can't eat anything after drinking a bowl, and the meal time usually doesn't exceed a quarter of an hour.

Qiu Xiyin stared at the food in front of him, and silently thought in his heart, "Wrong, wrong, wrong......"

Xu is that her resentment is too big, and Xu is that she is afraid of Mrs. Xie, in such a tense and suffocating environment, it is easy to make mistakes, and the chopsticks in her hand "ding-" a crisp sound touched the small pink porcelain plate with peach blossoms in her hand.

Everyone's breath was paused, Qiu Buxian's face turned white with fright, and his right hand wrung the chopsticks in his hand like a twisted flower.

Old Madam Xie slowly raised her head, and her gaze slowly moved to Qiu Buxian.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Qiu Buyan felt that Old Madam Xie had simply raised her head and seen the action for more than a quarter of an hour, and this moment of waiting for more than an hour was a hundred times more difficult than when she learned the news that Qiu Xiyin was coming back!

Finally, Old Madam Xie's gaze fell on Qiu Buxian's face, and then fell on Xie's body.

"I don't know the number of etiquette than you did back then, but there is really a mother and a daughter!"

Xie Shi unhurriedly picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, his movements were elegant, as if he was plucking the strings, "There must be a mother and a daughter, the mother said it well, the daughter never dared to forget whose daughter she was when she knew that she didn't know the etiquette."

Old Madam Xie's cold gaze suddenly turned into a knife and slashed heavily on Xie's face.

Feng Shi hurriedly said, "What are you doing in a daze!" Why don't you go and change the dishes and chopsticks for the fourth cousin! ”

As soon as she finished speaking, a maid trotted in and shouted, "Old lady! The fourth master said that he missed the old lady and wanted to come to accompany the old lady to dinner! ”

On weekdays, if she dared to run in so recklessly and shout loudly, Old Madam Xie would definitely sell her to the house immediately, but now, what she brought was the news that Xie Jiashu was coming!

Old Madam Xie's eyes suddenly lit up, and her old face was like a thousand years of ice and snow meeting the warm spring breeze, which instantly thawed and melted, and she smiled for the first time since Xie entered the door.

"Quick! Remove all the food! The banquet has been reorganized, so be quick! It's been a long time, the fourth master must be hungry!

Tell the kitchen to make the fourth master's favorite bamboo shoot soup! Use the freshest and most tender spring shoots! Then put on the fourth master's favorite set of pastel dishes for plum and spring! ”

From the time Xie entered the door, what Mrs. Xie said added up to not as much time as this short meeting.

Feng Shi stood up with a smile, "Mother, where do the girls remember, what Brother Shu likes and what he doesn't like, which of the girls in Zhengmingtang doesn't remember it firmly?" Mother sat down in peace and waited for Brother Tree to come."

Because Mrs. Xie was in a good mood, she was even more kind to Feng's, "You also sit, you are his mother, there is no reason to stand to greet her son."

After a while, the voices of the fourth master outside rang out one after another, and Mrs. Xie couldn't help but stand up, and the Feng family, the Qiu family and all the juniors naturally also stood up, only the Xie family held the teacup and did not move like a mountain.

Old Madam Xie was happy but didn't notice this, and all her mental energy was focused on the small figure that came slowly.

Qiu Xiyin hung her head slightly, but the excitement in her heart was no less than that of Old Madam Xie, finally, finally, finally, finally she could see her cousin again!

Finally, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xie Jiashu walked in front of Mrs. Xie and was about to bow down, when Mrs. Xie hugged her into her arms, "My good boy, don't salute, what should I do if I'm tired?" ”
