In the blink of an eye, it is the annual family banquet of the Xue family, Master Xue is an official in the court, and his mind is pinned on the government affairs of the court, and he is not interested in the family banquet, the reason why this family banquet is becoming more and more grand is because he has an old mother who believes in etiquette, the old lady of Xuefu.

In order to please her in the backyard, the Li family Lin made every effort to fight for face here, because this Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet is a grand style that is better than a year.

Before the hour passed, Mingxi pestered Xue Hainiang to dress and change clothes for her.

Mingxi carefully held Xue Hainiang's hair and combed her, "My young lady's black hair is really eye-catching." ”

Mingxi's words made Xue Hainiang a little stunned, and she remembered the previous things again.

Such familiar words lingered in his ears, as if Nan Jiuxi was gazing at her affectionately in the past, looking at her black and bright hair, grabbing a strand lightly, and kissing carefully.

In the past, Nan Jiuxi did not ascend the throne as the emperor, in the past, he was just a powerless prince who had no power in the court, as a powerless prince who had just returned to the court, in the past, he and her depended on each other, promising her to be white.

"Miss, Miss......" Mingxi's slightly anxious voice came into his ears, recalling Xue Hainiang's distant thoughts.

Xue Hainiang enlisted, and the people in the bronze mirror had a pair of bright eyes covered with a layer of mist.

"Isn't Miss unwell?" Mingxi looked at her young lady with a worried face, and she didn't know why she actually showed such an aggrieved and painful expression.

Xue Hainiang was startled, hurriedly lowered her eyes, and said softly: "It's okay, pull my hair for me." After hesitating, he said: "Don't be too public, but don't lose your elegance." ”

Mingxi is a skillful hand, since he was a child, he was trained by Li's dowry grandmother, and this hair-pulling technique is naturally very outstanding, seeing that she seems to be fine, he didn't think much about it, and he answered yes and got busy.

After about a quarter of an hour, Mingxi said: "Please take a look at the young lady, if the young lady thinks it is acceptable, please choose a hair ornament on the top bun." ”

As he spoke, Mingxi took out a purple gold box out of nowhere, opened the box, and put it in front of Xue Hainiang.

Xue Hainiang raised her eyes lightly, Mingxi's skillful hands and hairstyle did flatter her very well.

She lowered her head, glanced at the purple gold box in front of her, and chose a begonia agate tassel to shake, and two gilt colored butterflies to fly golden hairpins.

Mingxi inserted the hairpin and step shake for her, looked at the beautiful and bright Xue Hainiang, and couldn't help but praise: "Miss is so beautiful, after entering the palace, she will definitely be able to win the favor of the emperor and crown the six palaces." ”

Xue Hainiang's eyes flashed slightly, and her red lips gently raised an arc of sarcastic laughter, but she was silent.

When Xue Hainiang came to the banquet site, the Lin family was already waiting here with Xue Qiaoling, and said: "You must not ask the lady of the main room and the eldest daughter to wait for their mother and daughter." ”

Xue Qiaoling's outfit today is really as Xue Hainiang expected, with a jeweled bun, a scarlet chest and a long skirt with a scarlet chest, and the skirt is embroidered with gold silk with lifelike begonias.

Xue Hainiang herself is fine, but she feels helpless for her mother, Li is in the way of today's family banquet, and is afraid that the dress is too glamorous to conflict with the old lady, and make her old man unhappy, therefore, today's Li and Xue Hainiang are extremely elegant, Li is wearing a placket cloud brocade, the cuffs are embroidered with a light pattern hibiscus, and then look at the Lin family on the side, a purple skirt wrapped around the chest and dragged the ground, and the skirt is embroidered with a huge red peony.

This ignorant person is afraid that he wants to mistake the Li family and Xue Qiaoling beside her for the lady and the concubine of the main room.

After the old lady and Master Xue took their seats, the Lin family and Xue Qiaoling, and the Li family and Xue Hainiang knelt down together.

"Concubine Li asks the old man and the old lady to say goodbye. ”

"Hai Niang greets my grandmother and father. ”

The Lin family is not far behind, "The cheap concubine Lin gives the master, and the old lady asks for peace." ”

Xue Qiaoling smiled at the two people seated, "Qiaoling greets her father and grandmother, and wishes her grandmother good health and father's grace." ”

Master Xue obviously loves Xue Qiaoling, and when he saw this, he hurriedly beckoned to her, "Come, come and sit here with Daddy." ”

The old lady was a little more enthusiastic than when she saw Xue Hainiang that day, and the corners of her eyes wrinkled when she smiled, "Hai Niang, I haven't seen you for two or three days, but our Hai Niang is becoming more and more elegant." ”

Xue Hainiang didn't have a trace of closeness to this grandmother, if it weren't for her so-called grandmother who didn't save her mother in her previous life, her mother would not have been killed by the Lin family!

Suppressing the disgust in her heart, Xue Hainiang hooked the corners of her mouth, she walked towards the old lady, blessed her body, "Grandmother." ”

The old lady smiled like a flower, and her tone seemed to reveal a little coaxing, "Come, how about your sister call me grandma?"

Xue Hainiang bowed her head slightly, slightly lowering her eyelids to hide the disgust at the bottom of her eyes, "Grandma." ”

"Hey, well, this is grandma's good grandson. As he spoke, he glanced sideways at the grandmother behind him, and said in a deep voice: "After the family banquet is over, you can find an empty place to shake the Baoling Zijin Step in the sandalwood box to Furong Garden." ”

Xue Qiaoling couldn't help but gasp, her eyes couldn't help showing jealousy, she pouted dissatisfiedly, "Grandma, you are partial, your granddaughter has asked you for the Baoling Purple Gold Step Shake many times, but you have turned a deaf ear, and now my sister has never mentioned it once, but you have given your granddaughter what she thinks about day and night to your sister." ”

The old lady laughed, "Qiao Ling really likes that step so much?"

Xue Qiaoling nodded like pounding garlic, hoping that the old lady could temporarily change her mind and give her the treasure feather purple gold step, so that she could not only get her beloved thing, but also slap Xue Hainiang in the face.

However, the old lady quickly withdrew her smile in the next second, and her eyes were deep, "Since Qiao Ling likes it tightly, the old man will ask you and Hai Niang for a favor." As he spoke, he said to Hai Niang again: "Hai Niang, how about you Xu Qiaoling, this girl, go to your Furong Garden to play with this step in the future?"

Xue Hainiang was slightly positive, her slightly drooping eyelids concealed the surprise and understanding that flashed in her eyes, and she responded: "Qiao Ling is her sister, and she is a thing that her sister has in mind, if it weren't for her grandmother's reward, Hai Niang should have given this step away, and now she is just borrowing her sister to enjoy it, and Hai Niang is happy." ”

The old lady was quite appreciative, very satisfied with Xue Hainiang's sensibility, and smiled like a flower on her face, "It's so good." ”

Although Xue Qiaoling was unwilling, she could only swallow her anger and smile as well-behaved as before.

"Today, while everyone is together, the son still has one thing that he hopes to ask his mother for a favor. Old Man Xue suddenly got up and said loudly.

Old Madam Xue smiled kindly, with a slight joke in her words, "You are already the head of the family, a senior official in the court, why do you need to ask my old woman for grace." ”
