On the sixth day of the first month of April, the day is auspicious, and it is a sunny day.

The people in Xie Mansion got up early in the morning to get busy, in and out, they were busy, and the maids and maids all changed into new clothes, cleaned up cleanly, and were in good spirits, and started on Mrs. Xie's birthday today.

After some hours, the sun also rose, and many people from the family had already arrived in the Xie Mansion, and the people of the Xie Mansion set up a summer shed in the garden in order to have more fun for them to participate in the birthday banquet, and the breeze was gusting, and the table was full of fruits, which had a unique flavor.

Because the Xie family is a big family in Southern Chu and Kyoto, just because Xie Zhong is the general of Southern Chu, people with heads and faces at the banquet will come here to participate in the birthday banquet, giving Xie Fu a face.

In the room, Zheng Ling was busy greeting guests, and Aunt Mei was also helping on the side, but Aunt Wang was the only one to be seen.

A group of daughters' families also sat down at the banquet, and Xie Yue's good sisters all rushed to congratulate them because it was Xie Yue's grandmother's birthday, and Xie Yue naturally entertained them well.

Only one person seemed to be ignored by Xie Yue, and another person disdained to stay with Xie Yue's group.

The former is Sun Miao, because Sun Miao and Xie Yue were rivals in the academy, and it is really normal for the two to look at each other and get tired of each other.

The other person is Yi Daiqiu, she already has a good impression of Xie Shu and is good friends with Xie Shu, Xie Yue and his party can not only arrange what kind of words Xie Shu can say, she naturally does not want to stay with them.

The two of them were a group of people away from Xie Yue, and they sat together inexplicably.

"You said, the people of the Xie family said that Xie Shu and Xie Yu are both seriously ill and not suitable to see guests, do you think that's true?" Yi Daiqiu said.

Sun Miao said: "Red mouth and white teeth, but the people of the Xie family have the final say, the two of them are just two little girls, whether it is true or not, who can say clearly." ”

"Why don't we go find Xie Shu?" Yi Daiqiu asked.

Sun Miao shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter if it's true or not, I won't go, Xie Fu said that Xie Shu has pockmarks on his face, and he is still being diagnosed and treated, and it will be contagious, so he would rather believe it." ”

Sun Miao's answer is understandable, after all, her daughter's family is extremely beautiful, and if this little face is gone, it is really gone.

When Yi Daiqiu heard this, he pursed his lips, and he didn't say anything, seeing that Xie Yue and his party were also extremely uncomfortable, why couldn't Xie Shu participate in Mrs. Xie's birthday banquet when she was still the concubine of the big house, she was really upset for Xie Shu now.

In the outer courtyard, Zheng Ling had already gone out to greet the guests, everyone was talking and laughing, and they got along very well.

Zheng Ling did an excellent job in winning people's hearts, and was quite appreciated by Mrs. Xie, because Zheng Ling could always talk about it to make people talk about her, and congratulated Mrs. Xie for a while, and praised Xie Lang who had been staying by Mrs. Xie's side.

Talking about her own grandson and the praise of her grandson, Mrs. Xie's heart was even more joyful, after all, Xie Lang was her heart's meat, and when she heard the praise of all the ladies for him, her old face was full of smug smiles.

When someone asked about his other two granddaughters, Mrs. Xie took them in a word, saying that the two granddaughters were not suitable to see guests when they were sick.

All the ladies present are all members of the big family, and which one of them is not a human spirit? Naturally, they can hear the meaning from Old Madam Xie's words, is this a real illness or a fake disease? There is no way to know, in short, the other two daughters of the Xie family will not attend today's birthday.

Which is more important, looking at Mrs. Xie's attitude, you can understand at a glance that those two granddaughters are not as good as their grandsons at all.

There was a lot of fun inside the house, and there was a lively conversation outside the house, so many people were in the garden, but no one saw a figure flashing among the trees.

In the corner of the courtyard of the big house, in the corner where no one pays attention, where no one usually cares, there are a few people in black standing at this moment, and several of them said respectfully to the black-clothed man who is the leader, "Master, my subordinates just passed by the courtyard of the Xie family's big house, and I heard the subordinates inside say that there is a place in the courtyard of this side of the second room that is very tightly guarded, and the subordinates are suspicious ......."

"In that courtyard, it seems that there are a lot of guards, but the real masters are not around this courtyard, but there are many masters in the ancestral hall of the Xie family. Another said.

"In this way, it is not ...... Let's go to the ancestral hall. The person who commanded turned around at this time, and a handsome and picturesque face appeared in front of him.

Compared with the bustle outside, in another house in the second room, it is particularly deserted, this relatively large house has the ancestral hall of the Xie family, so many guards are guarding here, the ancestral hall is more important, there must be something important in it.

Originally, the weather was hot, and you could feel the heat in the courtyard or other places, but this ancestral hall was a little cold, and the wind blowing through was not hot at all, it was all cold.

Today is Mrs. Xie's birthday, as the concubine of the Xie family's big house, but she was locked up in the ancestral hall, and there was not even a greeting person, so she was not treated as a concubine at all, just like a subordinate who made an unforgivable mistake, directly hung aside, and sent someone to guard it.

Since the old woman Xie Shu asked her to stay in the ancestral hall, several of Xie Shu's big maids came with her.

Rumei pursed her lips and said dissatisfiedly: "Miss, it's too much for them to treat Miss like this and send someone to guard it." ”

When Rulan and Ruhe heard Rumei's words, they also nodded in agreement, expressing their dissatisfaction with the people in the second room.

On the contrary, Xie Shu was not indignant because she was locked up in the ancestral hall by them, there was no expression on her face, she was very calm, calm and a little terrifying, it seemed that she had no feelings about this matter at all.

Xie Shu looked at the curling green smoke from the incense burning in front of the tablet, and said, "Don't worry, what should come will always come, and the time has not yet come." ”

Ruhe is a little calmer than Rumei, and now she is a little impatient, she really can't hold back the thoughts in her heart, and said: "Miss! It's not that we are in a hurry, but the means of the people in the second room are really ...... Miss is locked up here by them now, it's impossible to even send a letter to the outside, let alone take a step out of here, and when the master and they come back, everything will be a foregone conclusion, Miss, you will ...... in this life"

Xie Shu got up and walked to the window, looking at the scorching sunlight outside the window, the scorching sun drooped the plants in the courtyard, and lowered his head low, like a child who had done something wrong.

Those people in the second room are also the ones who did the wrong thing, but she won't leave them a way back.
