Chapter 643: Xie Mansion Night Banquet
As soon as this holy decree was issued, it was like an explosion in the court. The inquiring eyes gathered, and Master Xie was even more flustered. When they retreated, those officials did not disperse, but came over one after another to congratulate them, each with a different look. Old Man Xie replied, his smiling face was a little stiff. Master Xie didn't have the heart to get up happily, and he was suddenly promoted. This made him a little uneasy, and since ancient times, the court has been unpredictable. Every step is frightening, I don't know if it is rising today and falling tomorrow, step by step is the death of the whole family, the more Master Xie thinks about it, the more frightened he becomes.
couldn't help but glance at the cold night for hundreds of miles, and saw that this young but already powerful prince was still calm. This made Old Man Xie shiver down his spine and hesitate a little. When everyone retreated, Master Xie finally waited for this prince outside the palace. The voice was respectful, "Lord Wang." Baili Hanye paused, turned around, and the fierce light in the pair of dark pupils shone directly into people's hearts, and before he could make a sound, his aura was so powerful that people couldn't help but be frightened. Baili Hanye only raised his chin slightly, and his eyes signaled.
Master Xie couldn't help but shudder in his heart, and withdrew his gaze from the cold night of Baili. Hunched over and compiled, "Wechen is terrified." Only then did he provoke a clear smile on a cold night, and he didn't say much. After all, the palace is full of people, and it is inconvenient for him to say it here, so he said in a slightly lazy and hoarse voice: "Lord Xie, why don't you accompany me for a while." Master Xie made another series and followed behind him.
After walking for a while, I finally came to a deserted and remote area of the palace. Baili cold night walked slowly in front of him, and suddenly there was a small sound in front of him. When it is big, it can only be heard by two or three people, but when it is small, it can be heard clearly. The voice was extremely cold, domineering and hoarse: "Lord Xie's promotion was reported by this king." The steps of the person in front of him stopped, and he turned back half of his body slightly, as if he was looking at Master Xie.
Master Xie is a smart person, so he naturally knows what to do in the future. "Let the prince command."
Baili Hanye looked at it and narrowed his eyes, revealing a hint of appreciation. Talk to smart people, and you can make sense at one point. "Go back." Master Xie saluted quietly again, and was looking up, the man had already left.
The Xie family was immersed in joy, Master Xie had risen in the court today, and the holy decree of the Ministry of Rites had just been passed back to the mansion, and there was joy up and down. Mrs. Xie had already happily informed Mrs. Xie, and the whole house knew about it. At this time, Master Xie also happened to arrive home and called the housekeeper. The voice was a little festive, and he ordered: "Set up a banquet tonight to celebrate, as for the matter of sending stickers...... he muttered for a while, "Let the association bring the family!" The butler replied simply, "Yes, sir!" "My own master was promoted, and I was naturally happy to be a slave.
Mrs. Xie had already called the servants of the whole house and reprimanded them in turn. "Today is the great day of the master's promotion, you are all in good spirits. Do things well according to the assignment, and you will be rewarded for doing well......" paused, changed his vicious tone and continued, "In case someone is lazy and is half a little late...... I can't spare her! ”
Then he breathed a sigh of relief, continued to arrange the number of people, and had already dressed up. There is a smile in the corner of his eye. Today, even she hates others mentioning Luo Tianyan on weekdays, and she is even more hateful when she meets. Today, I don't care a lot, and I also scold the servant with a shelf on weekdays, but today I am a little gentler.
When Mr. Xie was still panicking in the front yard, Mrs. Xie came over. Looking at the way he paced back and forth, you knew what was going on his mind. Gently holding him in his hand, he comforted: "Why should the master be so panicked, who is above the court does not want to be promoted." Mrs. Xie rearranged his clothes for him, and continued to speak: "It's just that the master is luckier than them, and he has risen one step." Master Xie was a little more stable at this time, and felt that what Mrs. said also made some sense.
The sun had just set, and there were still a few rays of light that had time to converge. The guests arrived as scheduled, and everything was ready for the house. The house was full of guests, and the people who came to congratulate received batch after batch. Some uninvited, faceless people also sent gifts with gifts, all in delicate nanmu boxes, with a big red bow on it. Mrs. Xie also received the gift softly, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes deepened a little, almost smiling at others. Master Xie was not idle, standing at the door, greeting the big officials who came to congratulate him. The smile became more and more cute, and the smile was red. Although Master Xie was still slightly palpitating, he listened to the words of a hundred miles of cold night at that time, and his heart was somewhat numerous. also slowly let go of his fears, and then greeted these colleagues, and his hanging heart was also released a lot.
Mrs. Xie was already smiling, receiving the families and daughters of these officials, and took them to the garden. I thought that I had finally come out again.
In the backyard, Luo Tianyan was in Mrs. Xie's yard. Taking care of her, Mrs. Xie was very happy when she heard about this, and she wanted to go to see her son, but she caught a cold overnight and felt unwell when she woke up this morning. His loving eyes moved to Luo Qianyan. took her hand and patted it gently, "Tilt Yan, you can go for me." Luo Qianyan raised his clear eyes and looked at the old lady.
Crunchy replied, "Okay." I personally helped her to put a few points on the jacket on her body, the old lady really liked this godgranddaughter.
The old lady looked at her dress, a little too plain. Seeing that there are only two jasper hairpins on her head, the color is not very good. He raised his voice and said, "Bring me my jewelry box." The old servant stepped forward and brought a jewelry box, and the old lady had also stored a lot of money over the years, carefully selected it, and compared it on her head for a long time. Finally, I chose a set of water-blue and light hair accessories, one wearing a flower butterfly crown and two mandarin duck hairpins. There is no tassel on the mandarin duck hairpin, which makes her more refreshing. With her aqua blue waist-length dress today.
The old lady asked the old servant to help her comb her new sideburns and dress her up. Only then did he nod with satisfaction, "Go ahead." He looked at himself in the mirror, and he was a little incredible. I haven't dressed up seriously once since I came here. He bowed earnestly to the old lady and withdrew, and the old lady watched her leave.
I don't know who took the lead in praising the children of the Xie family in the backyard, and Xie Ruanchun was also in this team. When someone mentioned such words, naturally the eyes of everyone followed, and she became the center of attention. Standing beside Mrs. Xie, when others said that the children of the Xie family were good-looking, although Xie Ruanchun was still as gentle as usual on the surface, he was already complacent and fluctuating in his heart. The handkerchief in his hand was twisted together, his face was flushed, and after being praised by others, he pretended to be a beautiful woman. The movements are stiff, but they are a little bit of a swagger. Mrs. Xie, who was on the side, looked at her unsuccessful daughter and almost made a joke again. coughed lightly, and motioned to Xie Ruanchun with his eyes, asking her to put away her exaggerated movements. His eyes glared, and Xie Ruan Chun was so frightened that he was finally interrupted. Mrs. Xie was finally proud, and seeing her own daughter being praised, her face naturally brightened.
There are a few first-class people's wives, looking at Mrs. Xie's pretense of generosity over there, and Xie Ruanchun's small family is jaspery. There was a hint of understanding in his eyes, but he didn't step forward to debunk it, and he couldn't stop laughing.
Luo Tianyan picked an hour to come, and he came neither early nor late. Passing through the long fence, I saw a strange boy who seemed to be admiring the scenery of the garden, wearing an emerald green robe, blending into the greenery. After Luo Qianyan walked in, the boy turned around. The face is delicate and tender, and the clothes are not like ordinary people, the dark lines of the hem flow with the light, and the inside is the lotus leaf, with gold thread staggered to roll out a few realistic dewdrops, and the waist is buckled with jade. When he saw someone coming, he smiled on his lips. made a series of comments to Luo Qianyan, and the clear and young young man said, "May I ask this girl, how to go to the front yard?" Qian Yan couldn't help but have a little more affection for this modest young man. At this time, he also knew that he was lost, and said gently: "It just so happens that I am also going to the front yard, and I will take you there." ”
On the way to the front yard together, the two started chatting. The young man was also very lively, and opened his mouth first, "Excuse me, what's the girl's surname?" Luo Qianyan also patiently replied to him, "Luo." At this time, the young man walking behind was even more happy, "Then I'll call you Sister Luo from now on, okay?" Luo Qianyan couldn't help but laugh.
As soon as he arrived in the front yard, the young man seemed to see an acquaintance, and called out to the place where they gathered, "Brother!" I saw a calm young man walking over, also dressed in the same rich and noble attire. His eyes moved away from the boy and he looked at her. The atmosphere was a little awkward, and the teenager relieved her, "Brother, I got lost in the backyard just now." It was this Luo girl who sent me here, and I have to thank this girl. Tilt Yan smiled slightly.
The young man also picked up his brother's words and said, "Then thank Miss Luo." "No need to say thank you." With a shake of his figure, he turned around and went into the front hall. The son who had just looked at Luo Tianyan's name was Shui Renjun, but at this time, he was thoughtful, and there was a sense that he would be on his eyes one night. There was a hint of fun in his eyes. Thinking about it, I saw that this girl should be from this house. Then he thought about pulling the young man in front of him, and the young man looked up with a question in his eyes: "Do you know the girl's name?" ”
The lively young man's eyes rolled several times, and he grinned, "I know, my brother must have taken a fancy to it, right?" The young man tilted his head slightly and coughed secretly, but did not answer. That young man, looking at Luo's face, should not be an ordinary maid, that is the young lady in the house. After a slight pause, he also turned around and plunged into the crowd again, looking for someone to investigate.
Luo Tianyan was about to go around to the front hall, but he was tied to the things on the road. I saw a group of people gathered in the distance, all of them were a group of young people. When Luo Tianyan squinted his eyes and looked closely, he saw a familiar person inside. As if arguing about something, stay in the past a little. I saw that the person in the middle was Wang Siyu. And Wang Siyan was next to him now, as if he wanted to step forward to dissuade him. was suddenly pushed to the ground by Wang Siyu, Luo Tianyan's face changed, and he hurried over.
