Chapter Seventy-One: Qunyan
ξThe second room of Xie Mansion is like the Mo family's proposal for marriage, which has not been made public, and the people who know about it are limited to a small number of people. Please keep in mind that our website is the fastest updated station, so Mo Li followed Mrs. Mo to the Xie Mansion for a banquet this time, which did not attract many people's attention, and today's banquet, because it is the birthday banquet of the couples in the third room of the Xie Mansion, so it is not a big deal, and there are not many people invited.
Not to mention the carriages and horses parked at the door, after coming in, I walked from the first courtyard to the back of the fifth courtyard, and then went to the residence of the third room in the west courtyard. Not to mention the deep beauty of flowers and trees here, and the scenery of buildings flying on top of each other, Xue Lin is the first time to walk into such a mansion, and her heart is really shocked.
"This Xie family is too rich ......." Xue Lin followed closely beside Mo Li, sighed in her heart, and then glanced at Mo Li with some jealousy. Soon, this cousin of hers will live a rich and noble life here, but she is still like duckweed, lonely!
Mo Li said softly: "The Xie family is originally a noble in Yongzhou, and after two dynasties and two generations of prosperity, you know how deep its heritage is. I heard that in the area of Anxian County, Lixian County, south of Yongzhou, more than fifty percent of the land is the Xie family, including fertile fields and mountains and forests, that is, the Yongzhou wharf, and the Xie family's forces are among them. Not to mention that the Xie family still has high-ranking officials and important ministers in the court, and for hundreds of years, the titles of the descendants of the Xie family are also out of reach of ordinary families. ββ
Xue Lin was so excited by Mo Li's few words that her heart was churning, for her, I am afraid that the wealth of the royal family is like this!
After Mo Li finished speaking, he glanced at Xue Lin, then withdrew his gaze, and quietly followed the subordinates of Xie Mansion all the way inside, and at the same time quietly observed who the guests who came over today. She had already met Han Sidao at the second gate just now, and she was not surprised that he would come over today. What was a little surprising was that "Zhou Lingling, the thirteenth girl of the Zhou Shoubei family, actually came to the banquet, and she blatantly blocked Han Sidao at the second gate, and she didn't know what they were talking about, but she didn't shy away from looking at Zhou Lingling at all." At that time, she noticed that when Xue Lin looked over, her brows furrowed, Mo Li smiled in her heart, and then withdrew her gaze before Han Sidao looked over, and then looked forward to it slightly in her heart, there should be a good show to watch today.
How heavy is Xue Lin's jealousy, "Today's Mo Li is afraid that he knows better than Xue Lin himself. And Zhou Lingling, this woman, is like a fire, with a domineering personality, warm feelings, and a terrifying temper. When she didn't offend her," she looked at the slightly arrogant official lady, but when she really lost her temper, few people could suppress it. If she hadn't figured out Zhu Lingling's temperament back then, and didn't worry too much about them, it would have been really difficult to suppress.
But when she was about to walk to the courtyard of Grandma Xie San, Mo Li suddenly saw a girl who felt a little familiar, she was stunned for a while, and after thinking for a while, she remembered that it was the fifth girl from the Xu family, Xu Qin'e.
It wasn't until the other party's figure didn't enter the flower stand that Mo Li retracted her gaze, Xu Qin'e, it turned out that she was here today!
She pondered for a while, when she was with the fifth young master of the Xie Mansion, she was the fifth girl of the Xu family, Xu Qin'e. It's just that it was three years later, Miss Xu is only fourteen now, and Mo Li vaguely heard that Miss Xu Wu seemed to have delayed her to seventeen because of the delay in the proposal of the two sisters above. However, the unpredictable world "blessings and misfortunes, this delay" also made her run into the luck of the Xie family.
Today, I suddenly saw these "old people,. For some reason, Mo Li had a faint feeling in his heart that there seemed to be a force pulling the fate of everyone in the dark.
Just when Mo Li was pondering, Xue Lin's heart was not calm at all, just now Han Sidao and Zhou Lingling had a very happy conversation, and the Xie family wealth and wealth that she saw now, as well as the lucky cousin around her, "made her almost want to put her nails in the palm of her hand!" If Mo Li really entered the door of the Xie family, if he really became the daughter-in-law of such a family...... Xue Lin felt her heartbeat start to beat rapidly just thinking about it, "I almost tore the handkerchief in my hand."
As she walked, Mrs. Mo smiled and said hello or a few words to a few people she knew, and by the way, she introduced her granddaughter and cousin. At this banquet today, Mrs. Mo knew what Mrs. Xie meant, because her family had not responded to the Xie family's proposal for marriage, so in addition to inviting Mo Li to come to the banquet today, Mrs. Xie also implicitly urged the Mo family to express her position.
Old Mrs. Mo also felt that this matter was to give a clear word, so she didn't even bring Mo Xue today. Originally, I just wanted to bring Mo Li over alone, which meant the same thing, but I didn't want my granddaughter to bring Xue Yatou with her before she went out, although Mrs. Mo felt that it was not very appropriate, but it was not good to let Xue Lin go back at that time, so she came over like this.
The people who followed Xie Mansion didn't know how many bends they had bypassed, and finally followed a clear stream and finally came to Xie San's courtyard. Seeing that there were flowers and trees inside, and the building Xuanyuan, Xue Lin's admiration in her heart didn't know how to describe it. Mo said that he was a guest who came to the door today, but the clothes on the people of this Xie Mansion were magnificent, and they looked like everyone else. Just looking at the maid who led them in, Xue Lin had just looked carefully along the way, and the clothes on the other party's body were all satin materials, as well as the bracelets on it, the gold hairpins on her hair, etc., all of which made her blush.
I don't know how many kinds of maids in this house are, but they are so noble with any thing on their bodies, I am afraid that the things in the boxes of ordinary girls are not as good as those worn by the maids.
After leading Mo Li and the others into a large flower hall with high curtains and a large flower hall lined up in the brocade screen, the girl turned around and smiled: "There are many guests who came to the banquet today, and the main hall can't be arranged, so the seats of the girl and Grandma Mo will be arranged in this side hall." The third grandmother is still in the front yard, please sit down with Grandma Mo first, and after the feast, the third grandmother will hold a treasure appreciation party in the Yaochi Garden, and the old lady and the guests in the front yard will also go to watch.
As soon as Xue Lin heard this, her heart couldn't help but froze, and then she suppressed the shock she received when she walked in all the way just now, but because of this, she was even more determined in her decision today. Mo Li glanced into the flower hall, and saw that the people who were arranged here were basically young girls or daughters-in-law, so everyone didn't know each other very well, so they were extremely polite. Mo Li saw Miss Xu Wu sitting in the corner at a glance, her heart fluttered slightly, she really didn't know if the Xu Xie family could finally form an intimacy.
In fact, today's banquet is just a small opening, so the female guests in the flower hall are more casual, because everyone is waiting for the highlight of the show.
Appreciation meeting, Grandma Xie San was born in a wealthy family, not to mention how prominent her mother's family is, that is, her own temperament, she loves to be lively and easy to show off, so every year at the birthday banquet, Grandma Xie San has to hold such a appreciation party. If the guests who participated in the event could say something suitable for Grandma Xie San's mind from those treasures, then they would not only be able to get additional rewards from Grandma Xie San, but also be able to make good friends with Grandma Xie San. This is a shortcut to attaching to the nobles, so among the guests who came to the banquet today, many of them were thinking of Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts.
However, Mo Li and the others walked into the hall, and before they could take their seats, they heard a slightly arrogant and smug smile from outside. Then I saw Grandma Xie San, who was wearing a Lingyun bun, wearing a five-tailed phoenix hairpin with beads, and a red and gold peony, walking in with a girl with a slightly round figure but extremely bright eyebrows. Mo Li saw that the girl was actually Zhou Lingling, she was stunned, and then remembered that Grandma Xie San and the Zhou Mansion seemed to have a pro-authority relationship, but later it was much lighter due to some family internal affairs, otherwise Han Sidao would not have mainly had a relationship with Xie Jiapan from her side.
The guests in the flower hall got up one after another, and Grandma Xie San smiled and said: "Yo, don't be polite to the girls, today is my poor hospitality, I went to the front to say hello just now, and when I came back, I went into the main hall and turned around, my head was almost dizzy, I almost forgot about it, what a sin!" ββ
Grandma Xie San's face is full of red light today, everyone can see that she is in a very good mood, although most of the girls in this hall are little girls, but there are many who can say compliments and stutter. Old Lady Mo knew that she couldn't compare with these nobles, so she didn't step forward, but Grandma Xie San led Zhou Lingling to Mo Li's side.
"Grandma Mo and Miss Mo have also arrived, just now I was waiting to welcome you, but I thought that there was something in the front yard suddenly, and I missed it." , Grandma Xie San glanced at Mo Li with a smile, and then glanced at Xue Lin next to her, paused slightly, but didn't ask anything, and then said to Old Lady Mo with a smile, "You can come over today, the old lady must be very happy, just now the old lady also said that after taking her to receive a few old people from the palace, please go over and talk to her about ......the day."
"The third grandmother is too polite." Old Madam Mo was not used to being watched by so many people suddenly, and the smile on her face couldn't help but be a little unnatural.
Grandma Xie San couldn't see it, so she pulled Zhou Lingling beside her to Mo Li and said with a smile: "This is the girl of the Zhou family, the little girl has a strange temper and doesn't like to sit in the main hall, so I had to bring her here." As she spoke, Grandma Xie asked the girls to quickly add the things that should be added, and I don't know if Grandma Xie San arranged it on purpose, and in the end, Zhou Lingling was arranged between Mo Li and Xue Lin, but Mrs. Mo was invited to the main hall. It was said that the older guests were all over there, so the little girls let them have fun by themselves, and then go to the Yaochi Garden together when the treasure party was going to be enjoyed.
So after Mrs. Mo and Grandma Xie San went out, Mo Li looked at the female guests in the hall, and then deliberately glanced at Xu Qin'e, Zhou Lingling and Xue Lin, and then slowly withdrew her gaze, waiting for Xue Lin to start today's twilight.
