Chapter 33: The King's Banquet

"The girl in this courtyard won't talk nonsense, and the sister-in-law is relieved. Hua Xiyan said softly.

Lu Yuan glanced at those girls again, and when she turned to Huaxiyan, she was already full of smiles: "Although these girls were personally selected by my mother and me, I am still afraid of mixing in something that I don't know whether to live or die." In the future, if there are any remarks that damage the reputation of the second sister, it is better to find out and send it away as soon as possible. ”

The girls in the courtyard all turned pale when they heard this, and they knelt on the ground in fear, and they didn't dare to say again.

Hua Xiyan knew that Lu Yuan was standing up for herself, after all, her second lady who appeared out of thin air was afraid that she would cause a lot of dissatisfaction, so she smiled lightly and didn't say anything.

After greeting Lu Yuan and Mrs. Wang for a long time, Hua Xiyan seemed to think of the kneeling people in the courtyard, so he said clearly: "What are you doing kneeling?" Get up! ”

From the remarks of a few people just now, the girls all know that the identity and status of the second lady are really unusual, and they are naturally not the masters who let others rub and pinch under the fence, so they all cheered up a little bit and did not dare to have half of the original casualness.

The golden begonia beads on Mrs. Wang's head shook her countenance, and her young face was filled with an extremely bright smile, she took a big red post from the maid behind her, handed it to Hua Xiyan, and said with a smile: "This is the list of people invited to this banquet, you see if there is anything that needs to be added." ”

Hua Xiyan took it and glanced at it casually, only to see that the two-foot-long paper was densely filled with people's names, and it seemed that not only all the families of Shengtian, but even the royal families of Beirong and Xiling and the famous families were among the invitees.

"Uncle, isn't this momentum too big?" Hua Xiyan asked helplessly.

"Naturally, it has to be handled well." Mrs. Wang held Hua Xiyan's hand, and the two gilt Hetian jade cloud pattern rings on her hand touched the back of Hua Xiyan's hand, arousing a tingling feeling.

Hua Xiyan hooked her lips and chuckled, she naturally knew that these big families were monitoring each other very closely, and she was afraid that the other party would get the news as soon as the other party had a slight disturbance.

The Wang family has an extra young lady, which is not a trivial matter. If some families are left behind when they are operated, it will inevitably cause dislike, so the best way is to level the bowl with water.

And there is another reason, that is, the Wang family knew what Li Jinmo coveted yesterday, and they also used this method to prove their status, so that those crooked melons and cracked dates should not fight their own ideas.

"It's up to my aunt!" Hua Xiyan bowed his head slightly and said very humbly. The only bead in her jet-black hair is round and jade, obliquely inserted into her ear, lining her small earlobe like a pearl.

The banquet was scheduled for ten days later, and for some places far away, this time was a bit rushed, Hua Xiyan originally thought that not everyone would appreciate it, but she underestimated the strength of the family after all.

The banquet was held in late September, and the weather was even colder as winter was approaching. But up and down the palace, it was a joyful scene.

The low trees in the garden are covered with colorful silk, and even the railings of the stone bridge in the cloister are covered in silk. Originally, it was the late autumn when everything withered, but the Wang family bought all kinds of flowers and placed them on both sides of the road.

"It's so hard to work and waste money!" Hua Xiyan stood beside the bed, looked at the maids who kept coming and going, and sighed.

Wen Xia stood behind Hua Xiyan, different from Hua Xiyan's helplessness, and his round face showed a proud look: "That's good, see who can bully Miss in the future!" ”

——

Now for the busyness of the backyard, the front yard is even more than that. Early in the morning, except for Wang Huan who was in the barracks, Wang Qi and Wang Jin stood at the gate of the mansion to greet them personally, and even Wang Yan stopped at the academy for a day and returned to the mansion to prepare for the banquet of Huaxiyan.

At the gate of the palace, under the huge black-curtain gilt plaque, there was an endless stream of guests. Whether it is the son of the family or the ladies of the family, everyone has a very decent smile on their faces, and the attendants behind them are holding high congratulatory gifts in their hands, and they are saying words of blessing in their mouths, not like a banquet, but more like a happy event.

A carriage inlaid with multicolored spars and glazed palace lamps stopped at the gate of the palace, the coachman opened the door, and a woman with high temples and dressed up walked down gracefully.

She carried the hem of her skirt and slowly walked up the steps, and the long skirt of the scattered flower Ruyi cloud smoke skirt dragged behind her, a beautiful and luxurious image.

"Chenjun Xie is happy to Dingguo!" The end of the woman's speech was a little short, and the end of the words should have been long, but she hurriedly retracted it, but it did not make people feel a trace of discomfort, but added a touch of laziness.

There is no doubt that Xie Yan is there.

"Thank you Jiadinghou, thank you Miss!" Wang Qi saluted Xie Yan, and then sent his attendants to welcome Xie Yan in.

"I didn't expect all these people to come." Wang Jin leaned into Wang Qi's ear and whispered.

"Nature." There was no trace of surprise in Wang Qi's words. People are curious animals, and they know that there is an extra young lady in the dignified royal family, but don't rush to see it, in the end, it's just to see if the new young lady can be on the stage.

Moreover, after the last time I left the house, there were not a few people who had seen Huaxi Yan, and they would naturally be overwhelmed by Huaxi Yan's glamorous appearance. Come here today, and then observe the status of Huaxi Yan's conduct in the Wang family, and those who have a heart will start to think about it.

"Why is she here too?" Wang Jin stared at the back of Wen Mei, who walked in slowly, and said dissatisfiedly.

Wang Qi looked at his younger brother with some amusement: "Let's give a post to the Wen family, you still don't let the young lady come?" ”

"It's definitely not a good thing for her to come, if she messes up the second sister's banquet, I can't spare her!" Wang Jin clenched his hands into fists at his side and said viciously.

Wang Qi put his arm on Wang Jin's shoulder, and his handsome face showed a meaningful smile: "It's only interesting when she comes, I'm afraid that your second sister is looking forward to her coming!" ”

Wang Qi was right, Hua Xiyan didn't have a surprised expression on his face after Mochizuki Xuan received the news that Wen Mei was coming.

"Looks like her face is getting better."

Wang Lan nodded: "I knew that I should have tricked her into eating more last time, and it would be good if she was disfigured!" ”

Hua Xiyan raised her eyebrows and looked at Wang Lan, and asked, "Sister seems to have something to do with that Wen Mei?" ”

It's okay not to say it, but Wang Lan's somewhat heroic face was dyed with a touch of anger: "Putting aside the grievances between our two families, it's this Wen Mei, who is a scoundrel!" has repeatedly made trouble in our shop, and every time it is a trouble, and it has not changed repeatedly. ”

"So arrogant?"

"yes!" Wang Lan's braided hair held by a ribbon swayed behind her as she pounded the table, obviously extremely unhappy when she remembered those things, "Once we got a piece of Mocui in our jewelry shop, she came to get it, didn't give money or say anything, and later broke the Mocui." This kind of thing is not uncommon, I don't know how many times! ”

Huaxi Yandai frowned. Naturally, she knew that Mocui was extremely precious. It's not just this Mo Cui, just looking at the shop under the name of the Wang family, that treasure is definitely not a defective product, if Wen Mei comes to make trouble every time, the loss is definitely not small.

"Haven't we gone to Wen's theory?" Hua Xiyan didn't believe that people were arrogant to this extent, and the Wang family could still endure it.

Wang Lan was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said: "The shop in our hands is all taken care of by the third brother, and every time Wen Mei goes to make trouble, she is with her sister, so the third brother is not good to say anything......"

Hua Xiyan was stunned, what is the situation? But after thinking about it, I understood the meaning of Wang Lan's words.

"Could it be that the third brother and that Wenlin ......"

Wang Lan looked acquiescing, and Hua Xiyan almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood. Oh my God, what's going on? When the Wang family and the Wen family are so incompatible, those two people can also secretly have feelings...... Can this really be a positive result?

Looking at Hua Xiyan's appearance of being struck by thunder, Wang Lan pouted: "We have also told the third brother, but sister, you also know that the word love is the most involuntary...... So no matter what we say, the third brother won't listen......"

Through the contact in the past few days, Hua Xiyan naturally has an understanding of Wang Qi. Compared with Wang Yan Congwen, Wang Huan is still martial, and what Wang Qizu is good at is business. He has quick thinking, clear mind, decisive and crisp movements, and a resolute personality, and keeps the shops under the Wang family in good order. In ancient times, when transportation was extremely inconvenient, it was definitely not easy to achieve such results on your own.

The shrewd and wise third brother is so persistent in the word love, Hua Xiyan thought about it, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"Actually, Wen ......"

"Miss, it's not good!"

Wen Xia ran in from outside in a panic and interrupted Wang Lan's words.

"What a way this looks!" Hua Xiyan frowned, shouted sternly, and then looked at Wang Lan apologetically.

Wang Lan didn't care at all, looked at Xia and asked, "What's the alarm?" ”

"Miss, forgive!" Wen Xia saluted Wang Lan and said urgently to Hua Xiyan, "Meng Ru and Miss Xie had a conflict in the small garden, Miss Xie wants to punish Meng Ru, Miss go and save her!" ”

Hua Xiyan stood up suddenly, and there was a dark look in his bright eyes: "Miss Xie? ”

Wen Xia nodded.

Hua Xiyan instantly understood that this Miss Xie was Xie Yan.

If it is common sense, if the lady of the family goes to someone else's house as a guest, even if she is offended, she should have the master in charge, and she will not suppress the slave by herself, which not only loses her own demeanor, but also a kind of disrespect to the master.

Xie Yan naturally understood this truth, but she still made a move, and there was only one reason - Xie Yan knew that Miss Wang Er was herself.

"Let's go, let's see!" Hua Xiyan said and walked out slowly.
