"Qingning is late, I hope the eldest uncle and aunt will forgive me." Xie Qingning slowly walked into the hall, and gave a big salute to Xie Zhongshu and his wife according to the rules, in front of outsiders, Xie Zhongshu naturally said with a pleasant face, "Today is just a family banquet, you don't have to be so formal, take a seat." ”

"Uncle Xie." Xie Qingning just wanted to turn around and take a seat, but he heard Mrs. Namo speak, "This girl should be the seventh lady Qingning of your mansion, right?" ”

Seeing that she actually remembered this girl, Xie Zhongshu was stunned, but the smile on Qin Xue's face was condensed.

"It's the seventh girl of my family." After Qin Xue was slightly stunned, a smile reappeared on her delicate makeup and said, "It's rare for Madame to remember her, it's really her blessing." ”

"Where, it's just looking at the fate," Mrs. Mo beckoned to Xie Qingning with a smile, "Girl, come here, let me take a closer look at you, okay?" ”

To be able to get the love of the city lord's wife, I don't know how many people in Lanling City can't ask for it! Xie Qingning felt all kinds of eyes coming from behind the screen on the right side, most of them were envy, jealousy and hatred, his heart was slightly cold, but a happy smile appeared on his pretty face and walked in front of her, bowed and saluted, "Qingning has seen Madame." ”

"Ouch, it's really a beautiful embryo, look at this skin, it's crystal clear like crystal, it's really different from that silly girl in my family," Mrs. Mo laughed and teased while pulling her into her arms, the fragrant fragrance coming from her body made Xie Qingning have a trance taste, like the breath of being snuggled in her arms by her mother when she was just born, and her eyes couldn't help but moisten.

Mrs. Mo stroked her jet-black hair, and said to Xie Zhongshu with a smile, "Master Xie, I heard that this girl was originally the daughter of the Xie family's fourth room, but because of her mother's early death, she has not entered the Xie family tree for a long time. ”

Hearing this, Xie Zhongshu's expression was slightly sluggish, and he smiled for a while, "It's that I'm too negligent, Qingning, this kid is my Xie family's disciple, and it should indeed be recorded in the family tree a long time ago, so that Sister Lan Ying can return to the ancestral hall as soon as possible to enjoy the incense." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the man sitting in the middle of the left side and said, "Fourth brother, I remember telling you about this matter, no matter how busy you are, you should make time to deal with it. ”

Xie Qingning couldn't help sneering in his heart, but he couldn't help but look at his fourth uncle Xie Zhonghuai.

Xie Zhonghuai is a simple and honest man, because of his heavy face, he doesn't like to smile very much on weekdays, and he looks a little older than Xie Zhongshu.

Suddenly named by his brother, he looked slightly stunned, his eyes quickly glanced at Xie Qingning, and bowed his head and responded, "Yes, I know, Brother Lao bothered." ”

"Then everyone will be happy," Xie Zhongshu nodded with satisfaction, and asked the Mo City Lord with the intention of revealing the topic, "Brother Mo, it is really gratifying to hear that your eldest son has entered the Night Clan for further study." ”

The men chatted about their topic, and Xie Qingning naturally didn't want to participate more, so he politely thanked Mrs. Mo and bowed, and then turned into the small flower hall behind the screen on the right under the leadership of Chief Steward Xie, who was already waiting next to him, and took a seat.

But before leaving, she didn't forget to sweep her gaze over Xie Zhongchun, who was sitting next to Xie Zhonghuai, and he really kept staring at the pearl hairpin on her head as expected, the pearl hairpin was deliberately created by her mother in the shape of her mother's magic weapon, the appearance was very realistic, no wonder he cared so much.

Xie Qingning raised his eyebrows in his chest, retracted his gaze and stepped into the flower hall bypassing the screen. The scene was similar to the last banquet, the girls of the Xie family gathered in this small hall to talk and laugh, and when they saw Xie Qingning's figure at first glance, they suddenly fell silent and quiet.

From their eyes, Xie Qingning read a lot of dislike and anger, mixed with envy and jealousy, but he didn't have the enthusiasm that his relatives should have.

Xie Qingning didn't care if she could get close to the Xie sisters, so she just bowed her head slightly to say hello, and then walked to the position that should have belonged to her with the support of the zither, and waited for her to sit down before she heard Xie Hualing on the opposite side say with a smile, "Sister Qingning, you are late, you should be punished with three glasses of wine." ”

Her voice "Sister Qingning" was very cordial and smooth, but it attracted the disdain and ridicule of several girls, Xie Qingning glanced at the two who were the least good, they were Xie Zhongchun's eldest daughter Xie Huayan and Xie Zhonghuai's second daughter Xie Huatang.

"Eldest sister, why are you so polite to her, it's just an illegitimate daughter, what kind of face do you have to return to our Xie family's genealogy!" The first to speak was Xie Huatang, she was only eight or nine years old this year, but her eyes were above the top, and she had a lofty posture, which was very different from the gentle smile of her sister Xie Hualing, who was born with the same mother.

For some reason, Xie Qingning likes her straightforward personality very much, if you like it, if you don't like it, if you don't like it, why hide it and make people disgusted.

Therefore, she couldn't help but look at Xie Huatang twice, feeling that this girl was completely different from Xie Hua's primate, maybe a Xiao father and a Xiao mother, but Pu Liu's posture was not outstanding, no wonder she was so hostile to her, presumably because of her inferiority. She retracted her thoughts, raised her glass and saluted Xie Huayan, the eldest daughter of the Xie family, who was sitting upright, "Sister Hall, Qingning is late, do it first." "Then look at the faces of others, and do not drink all the wine in your cup.

Although Xie Huayan looked cold, he didn't embarrass her in public, he took a sip of wine, and then turned to the sisters and said, "Everyone drink, there are no outsiders at today's family banquet anyway, as long as it is not too out of line, you don't have to be limited to how much you want to drink, just don't get drunk and make a fool." ”

Xie Qingning listened to her speech and behaved decently, presumably as the eldest daughter of the Xie family, she presided over such occasions a lot, so she was handy, but it was completely different from the previous few times when she was willful and domineering towards herself, and she was also a little impressed for a while. What's more, after experiencing the last poisoning, maybe she can change a little because of this, which is actually not a bad thing for her, and maybe it can change her fate in the future.

Thinking of this, she turned her head to look at Xie Hualing, and said with a salute, "Fifth sister, Qing Ning toasts you, even if it is a punishment for being late?" ”

Xie Hualing said that it was originally just to ease his emotions and break the deadlock, and when he heard this, he naturally smiled and said, "Seventh sister said this, but I have seen the outside, come, let's have a drink with our sisters." ”。

Seeing that Xie Huayan was unwilling to target Xie Qingning, no matter how unwilling they were, they could only admit the fact that she was about to return to the Xie clan genealogy and be sisters with them.
