Chapter 1004: Taifu's Birthday
However, the relationship between Situ Qingyu and Xi Hongyi is okay, and there is no conflict of interest or unpleasant things between the two parties.
Situ Qingyu was more likely to move around more with the younger generation of the Cao family and other families.
"Thank you, Young Master Situ, for coming over with a face." Xi Hongyi rubbed his hands politely, and then looked at Xia Zining, "Miss Xia is coming to the mansion for the first time, and I will send someone to send you to the backyard where the woman is temporarily resting, I hope Miss Xia likes this arrangement." Xi Hongyi said.
Xia Zining nodded: "There is labor." She knew that the big family had to be like this, the family had a big event, when welcoming guests, after entering the mansion, almost all the men were arranged in the front yard, and the women were arranged in the back yard, and the men and women gathered separately to rest for a while, and only went to the place of dinner together when they waited for the meal time.
At this time, Situ Qingyu motioned to the entourage behind him to hand over the gift to the Xi family, and after the Xi family received it, another person registered on the side.
The next time another family has a major banquet, they will look at the writing on the registration, what the other party gave last time, how much is it worth, and it is almost the same gift in return.
Xi Hongyi personally led Situ Qingyu and Xia Zining into the gate of the mansion.
Situ Qingyu and Xi Hongyi walked while talking, chatting well, Xia Zining followed them, but from the moment they entered the door, their eyes looked around unceremoniously.
A few people walked through the front of the road, walked through a section of the garden dotted on both sides, and then, there was a small pond in front, and there was a bridge at a distance in the middle, and then went to the opposite shore of the pond, in the pond water, passing through the pavilion, and the aisle arrived at the shore over there...
The water in the middle pond is clear, there are some fish swimming in it, and some lotus flowers are dotted...
When you get to this side, there is a garden in front, there are several aisles on both sides, and there are two circular entrances and exits in front, and you go inside, and inside, there is a courtyard, in front of which is the living room for receiving guests, and on the other two sides there are two directions to go elsewhere.
At this time, Xi Hongyi told her, "The left road is the place where the men in the front yard are temporarily resting, and the right is the party hall where the women who go to the backyard are resting, Miss Xia, I asked someone to take you over." ”
Xia Zining nodded.
Xi Hongyi called two guards, and also called two maids to serve Xia Zining, and left with Xia Zining.
When I arrived at the backyard, there were young ladies of the big family who gathered together to chatter near the garden, and walked to the huge living room, where many people were already seated, and everyone chatted well.
Seeing Xia Zining, everyone was surprised, not all girls from big families know Xia Zining, but some know Xia Zining, a while ago, on the night of praying in the square, someone saw Xia Zining and remembered her deeply.
In this Shuo hall, there are several seats on the left and right, and the upper few tea seats are a woman from the Xi family.
Two rows of seats on the left and right were filled with women from various families.
As soon as Xia Zining came in, she immediately attracted the eyes of the women in the entire hall, and in an instant, Xia Zining was clear that there were so many pairs of eyes looking at her, some curious, some sarcastic, some disdainful, some hostile...
When she came in, her eyes were faint and she glanced at both sides and then retracted it, and she had already seen clearly that the women she knew were also there, and finally, she looked at the women of the Xi family sitting in the row of seats in the main seat in front of her while walking.
When Xia Zining stood still, the women of the Xi family looked at her with a brush, and she also looked at the group generously.
