Guan Wen pondered for a while and said to Li Xin: "I'm afraid we still have to go, but other people's posts have come down, and it is a little unreasonable to ignore them." ”

Li Xin asked Qingya to put away the post, thought about it and said, "This is a post given by the aunt in the back house of the Xue family, you will go too?" ”

"Mrs. Xue's birthday banquet, I should go to it if it makes sense." Guan Wendao: "It's not that I don't know Master Xue, I don't know Mrs. Xue's birthday, but now that I know, I naturally have to bring some birthday gifts to celebrate my birthday." If someone posts it to you, it can be regarded as informing me. Maybe Xue Ye's invitation will also arrive. ”

This is possible, Xue Qian is also a filial son, and the old lady will definitely not do it perfunctorily and simply.

"Then we'll be back for another two days." Li Xin sighed.

Since the last time she met Roche, Li Xin has not seen Roche again. This time, Luo personally posted to her, which always made Li Xin a little worried.

Guan Wen was right, and sure enough, a day later, Xue Fu's serious post was handed over.

On the second day, Guan Wen and Li Xin took a pair of children to the banquet.

There are a lot of guests in the Xue Mansion today, and the door is crowded with carriages and sedan chairs, blowing and blowing is very lively, which shows that the Xue family attaches great importance to the old lady's birthday this time.

Guan Wen and Li Xin got off halfway by car and walked to the gate of Xue's mansion on foot.

The male host who greeted the guests was Xue Qingyan, the young master of the Xue family, and when he saw Guan Wen and Li Xin, Xue Qingyan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute and said, "Uncle Guan, Aunt Guan, you are here." ”

Yang'er looked excited, looked at Xue Qingyan intently, and said, "Brother Qingyan! ”

Xue Qingyan said with a smile: "Yang'er has grown so big. His eyes moved to Youyou, who was being held by Li Xin's side.

"Yoyo, call Brother Qingyan." Li Xin touched Youyou's head and smiled at Xue Qingyan: "This is my daughter, who is only a little over two years old. ”

You shyly called Xue Qingyan, Xue Qingyan stepped forward to hug her, but her feet stepped out, only then did she remember that she was at the gate of the mansion to welcome guests, but it was not a long delay, so she smiled embarrassedly: "Uncle Guan, Aunt Guan, you sit inside, I will come to you to catch up with you in a while." ”

Guan Wen stretched out his hand and patted Xue Qingyan's shoulder, nodded and said, "You are also the protagonist today, and you still have to support the field at home." What a man. ”

Xue Qingyan smiled, reached out and touched Youyou's face, and said with a look of love: "I'll go play with my sister later." ”

"And me, Brother Qingyan!" Yang'er couldn't wait to be authentic.

"Okay, and Yang'er, you also go to school, I'll test you well later." Xue Qingyan said with a smile.

Mrs. Xue may be a little conservative in terms of etiquette, even if it is a birthday banquet, male and female guests must be seated separately. Therefore, Li Xin had to be separated from Guan Wen and follow the daughter-in-law who led the way to the inner hall covered by the screen.

Youyou lay in the arms of the fruit, looking around, very curious.

When I entered the inner hall, there were already several ladies and wives inside. Mrs. Xun and a few other familiar faces were also among them, and when they saw Li Xin, they hurriedly greeted her.

"I originally wanted to ask you to come with me, but I thought that our own masters were coming, and it would be troublesome to make an appointment, so I didn't ask you out." Mrs. Xun smiled: "Ouch, I see, this waist is a lot thicker!" ”

Li Xin smiled on her face, let Mrs. Xun pull her into the seat, and was happy to sit with Mrs. Xun.

"After I was happy, I rarely went out, and it was cold outside, so I didn't want to come out." Li Xin put her hand on Mrs. Xun's, and pretended to be worried and asked, "Mrs. Xun hurry up and help me take a look, I have gained a lot of weight?" ”

"Flesh is good!" Mrs. Xun quipped: "It's as thin as a bamboo pole, isn't your man panicking when he holds it?" ”

A few wives sitting nearby, hearing Mrs. Xun's words, couldn't help laughing.

"This is Yoyo...... Hurry up and call Auntie, I'll listen. Mrs. Xun lowered her head again and leaned over to tease.

After the greetings, Mrs. Xun moved the topic to today's birthday of Mrs. Xue.

"Mrs. Xue hasn't been in the face for a long time, as if she is not in good spirits." Mrs. Xun lowered her voice and said to Li Xin: "This birthday is also what Xue Ye wants to give his mother a spirit, so he did it." ”

Li Xin was surprised and said: "If the spirit is not very good, wouldn't it be more troublesome to do such a big job?" ”

Mrs. Xun said: "I guess I just want to make Mrs. Xue feel refreshed, and the effect is really good." You think, there are only two or three masters of this Xue Mansion, and the rest are all subordinates, who follow the rules, and they are not a little angry...... If I live like this every day, I'm afraid I'm going to get sick too. ”

Mrs. Xun's voice continued to be lowered: "But according to me, this is Xue Ye's plan to continue the string." ”

Li Xin was even more surprised, and didn't know where Mrs. Xun's gossip came from.

Sitting on the other side of Mrs. Xun was her cousin and daughter-in-law, although they were a generation behind, they were not much younger than Mrs. Xun, and they were also in their twenties and almost thirty years old...... The old lady made one of the few appearances here, basically asking whose girl was in the boudoir and whose girl's conduct was good...... As soon as people who understand hear it, they know that Mrs. Xue is looking for a continuation for Xue Ye. ”

"The Xue family is indeed not rich in heirs. Look at the banquet guests today, there is only one young master at the door. I don't even have a cousin, a cousin, a nephew or any other relative, and it's really hard to support one-armed. ”

Mrs. Xun sighed: "Just a son, his wife has been dead for many years, it's strange that Mrs. Xue can watch it......"

"But this banquet was made by Xue Ye, and Mrs. Xun said that Xue Ye planned to continue ......" Li Xin was slightly puzzled.

Mrs. Xun smiled, "Look over there." Pointing his finger to the northeast, Li Xin saw that there was a stage there.

"The first few tables are for the officialdom, ladies and wives who have heads and faces. The big round red table in the middle was reserved for Mrs. Xue. Mrs. Xun said: "Before you came, Mrs. Xue came out to meet a guest, full of spring breeze, and her spirit looked very good, so I said that Xue Ye took the right step." I guess that Mrs. Xue has been talking about letting him marry his stepfamily and have children in Xue Ye's ears over the years, and Xue Ye is also watching Mrs. Xue getting older, and thinking about this in his heart...... So compromised. ”

Li Xin nodded.

Xue Qian's continuation didn't have much to do with her, but the Luo clan was extremely frustrated......

"I heard that the Xue family has invited several big officials today, and there is another big official from Beijing, whose ancestral home is in Yizhou...... The rest of the officials are also old men in the yamen, and that is what we wanted to see in the past. Mrs. Xun said in a low voice: "Old Mrs. Xue may want to find a family for Xue Ye here...... When she came out, she didn't see anyone with unmarried hair around her, so she went to ask her age and whether she was married......"

Mrs. Xun may have been bored recently, and when she saw Li Xin, she chattered some gossip to her. Mrs. Xun knew that Li Xin was strict-mouthed and had good friends with her, so she didn't have much scruples when she spoke, and told Li Xin everything she thought.

After sitting for a while, Li Xin felt bloated and got up to go to the toilet. Mrs. Xun said to help her take care of Youyou, and asked her to take the maid back quickly.

Li Xin asked Qingya to follow her, and found a maid to take her to the clean room.

After convenience, he also cleaned up his clothes by the way, Li Xin and Qingya returned along the road they came, but a little maid hurriedly ran over halfway, stopped Li Xin on the way, and asked Li Xin, "Is it Mrs. Guan?" ”

Li Xin felt inexplicable, seeing that the maid was only twelve or thirteen years old, she still nodded, and said with a little caution: "I am." ”

"Great!" The little maid hurriedly shouted happily: "The slave went to find the lady but didn't find it, and she was afraid that she would be scolded by her aunt when she went back...... Mrs. Guan, my aunt told the slave maid to ask Mrs. Guan to come over, and Mrs. Guan should hurry up with the slave and maid. ”

The little maid made a "please" gesture towards Li Xin, Li paused and said quietly: "Your aunt...... But the biological mother of Miss Xue Fuer? ”

The little maid winked and nodded.

Qingya stepped forward and separated Li Xin and the little maid, and said to the little maid: "The banquet will start soon, what is the matter with your aunt, wait for the banquet to find my wife." ”

The little maid was in a hurry: "Sister, Mrs. Guan is fine now, so let's go with the slave maid...... Otherwise, my aunt will lose her temper again......"

The little maid looked really pitiful, Qingya frowned, looked at Li Xin, and asked tentatively, "What does Madame mean?" ”

Li Xin sank into the air.

Luo deliberately gave her a separate post before Xue Fu's post, I am afraid that he is telling her that Luo Xinxian has something to find her today. can post before, and there is nothing bad in the words, presumably Roche will not be unfavorable to her.

Thinking about it, Luo didn't dare to be unfavorable to her, today, but it was Mrs. Xue's birthday. Xue Qian attaches great importance to this day, and he also invites the officials and masters to come. At such a time, Roche would never dare to do anything.

Thinking like this, Li Xin took a reassuring pill and let the little maid lead the way.

While walking, Li Xin whispered to Qingya: "You are smart, Aunt Xue Fu will not find me well, there will be no good thing." ”

Qingya nodded seriously: "Madame, don't worry, the slave and maid will definitely protect in front of Madame." ”

"What a faithful girl." Li Xin chuckled: "When you reach the age where you can marry in the future, how can I be willing to marry you." ”

Qingya suddenly blushed.

The little maid walked eagerly, took Li Xin and Qingya around and on crutches, and finally stopped in front of a room that looked very delicate from the outside.

"Here it is, here it is." The little maid said: "Mrs. Guan, this sister, aunt is inside." ”

As soon as the words fell, the door opened from the inside, revealing Aunt Luo's thin face.

"Mrs. Guan, please come in." Aunt Luo said.
