The birthday banquet was very lively, and the Xue family invited the stage team of Du Daban, who has always been popular in Huixian County, to sing on the stage, and because there were several officials who could not usually be seen in the main seat, and the emotions of everyone were always high.

Li Xin returned to the table, and Mrs. Xun asked her with concern, "Why did you go for so long?" Your daughter is going to cry for you. ”

Youyou's eyes were bright, and when you looked at it, you knew that it was Fang Cai's tears that had washed it.

Li Xin smiled: "No, I got lost when I came back, and I walked around with Qingyabai before I asked someone for directions." There are too many people in Xue Mansion today, and there must be not enough manpower. ”

Mrs. Xun nodded and said, "Yes, they are all close to the big people in front of them." ”

Mrs. Xun didn't mean to be contemptuous when she said this, but her nephew and daughter-in-law beside her said with a smile: "Mrs. Guan is not here, but I didn't see it, there are several delicate girls in the chairmanship over there." Mrs. Xue was very enthusiastic, and invited the ladies and wives with their daughters to sit in the chairman's party, and she couldn't take her eyes off when she fell on those girls. ”

Li Xin had already confirmed from the Luo clan that Mrs. Xue was indeed showing Xue Qianxiang the matter of the stepfamily, and at this time, listening to Mrs. Xun and her nephew and daughter-in-law speculating whether the Xue family was going to have a happy event soon, she just hooked her lips and smiled.

It's true, but I don't know if this happy event can be done as expected.

As soon as the cold and hot dishes were slipped away, the soup and dim sum, and the dishes with meat and vegetables were all on the table, and Mrs. Xun and the others were silenced and began to use them slowly and carefully. From time to time, someone raised his head to invite wine, and Li Xin took a cup of tea and dipped it lightly in response.

Youyou's mouth is not good, and she can't eat everything in the face of a table full of delicacies, but she also eats happily, her small mouth is covered with oil, bright and bright, looking at Li Xin with a pair of moon eyes and smiling.

Mrs. Xun didn't like it, so she put aside the chopsticks and teased Youyou: "Youyou is so well-behaved, can you take it back to me as a daughter?" ”

Youyou hurriedly shook his little head, and said in a milky voice: "Youyou, Niangniang......"

Li Xin covered her mouth and smiled: "It's her blessing that my wife likes her." ”

Mrs. Xun smiled and said, "She's tired of you, the girl is a little padded jacket, and with her by her side, your heart is warm." ”

The banquet was withdrawn one after another, and the female guests gathered around to chat. Several gorgeously dressed ladies and ladies surrounded Mrs. Xue, and everyone hurriedly got up and asked Mrs. Xue how she was.

Old Mrs. Xue looked good, and said, "This birthday of the old man, I am grateful to all the ladies and wives who came to cheer on it." ”

"What does the old lady say, it is our honor to come to the house to celebrate the old lady's birthday." I have the right eyesight to answer.

Mrs. Xue was carrying a girl by her side, Li Xin looked at the girl for a while, and felt that she looked a little imposing on the outside, and there was a hint of heroism between her eyebrows. Seeing that Mrs. Xue took her with her, she seemed to be very important, so she thought that this might be the daughter of the boss that Luo said in his mouth.

Mrs. Xue sat on the main seat, and asked the female guests to sit down accordingly. The ladies and ladies surrounding her naturally sat closest to Old Madam Xue.

The ladies on the field of communication are also very familiar, and after a while, you and I are talking word by word. The shy ones who don't talk much sit on the side and be a loyal listener. Li Xin also belongs to the type that does not speak, sitting upright on the chair, lowering her eyebrows, listening to the female guests.

I don't know which ignorant person said: "Old lady, why didn't you see Aunt Luo waiting beside you?" ”

Old Lady Xue's face suddenly stiffened, and she looked a little annoyed, but as the host of the banquet, she couldn't be angry with the guests. The corners of her mouth pulled slightly, and Mrs. Xue said, "On such days, she naturally can't walk around in front of her." ”

The man said curiously: "But the second lady didn't show up to congratulate the old lady on her birthday." ”

Old Mrs. Xue's face sank: "She is a little girl in the corner, even if she celebrates her birthday, she will not go to the front." The tone was a little harsh, so that the face of the person who spoke suddenly sneered.

The atmosphere cooled slightly.

The old lady said this, it seems that the Luo clan is really struggling in the Xue Mansion......

Li Xin looked up at Mrs. Xue, and saw that her silver and black interlaced hair was meticulously coiled, a touch of woven flowers inlaid with her forehead was tightly attached to her forehead, and the clothes on her body were dark red, with black piping, very dignified and atmospheric, with the momentum of an old lady in a family. At this time, she did not smile on her face, which added a touch of majesty.

Compared with the heroic girl next to her, she is also ten ** years old, her eyebrows are stiff, her eyes are pressing, and she looks like an upright girl, staying by Mrs. Xue's side, but her momentum is not inferior to Mrs. Xue.

Judging from the action of Mrs. Xue holding the girl's hand all the time, Mrs. Xue liked this girl very much.

Seeing that there was a bit of a cold scene, the lady who was good at adjusting the atmosphere came forward to find another topic. Coincidentally, the topic happened to be put on the girl next to Mrs. Xue.

"The people around the old lady are enviable, I wonder what kind of relatives this girl is of the old lady?"

Old Mrs. Xue's face softened a little, and she took the girl's hand and introduced with a smile: "This is Jiang Jiang's daughter, she hasn't shown anything here in the past, and it's normal that everyone doesn't know each other." ”

"It turned out to be Miss Jiang...... It's rude to look at me so clumsy. ”

Everyone greeted Miss Jiang one after another.

is polite to Miss Jiang, but it's just because she is a total daughter.

The general official position is not high, but he is a seventh-grade military attaché, but he is really powerful, has soldiers in his hands, and has jurisdiction over local military affairs. As the saying goes, a strong dragon can't overpower the head snake, and no one dares to offend such a character. Miss Jiang rarely appears in everyone's field of vision, but now that she has seen it, she is naturally indispensable in terms of etiquette. After all, no one knows the character of this Jiang girl, but seeing that she is from a military family, maybe she will play with a stick twice.

Miss Jiang has a very cold attitude and a very arrogant temperament, and she just nods her head when everyone greets her, and rarely responds to her. Seeing her attitude, everyone's enthusiasm for her was reduced, and the topic was slowly brought to Mrs. Xue.

What the old man wants is nothing more than his children and grandchildren to fight for their anger. Xue Ye is older, and there is not much difference in age from many of the ladies and wives present, and besides, it is not easy for the female dependents to talk about the male hosts in other people's houses, so when they talked, the topic was introduced to Mrs. Xue's only grandson, Xue Qingyan.

"Young Master Xue is really a talent!" A lady exclaimed: "When I entered the mansion with my lord, I saw Young Master Xue welcoming guests at the door, and my lord praised Young Master Xue for his outstanding youth and extraordinary bearing. He also said that he wanted to have such a son, and he would wake up laughing when he fell asleep. I also envy the old lady, I have to ask the old lady for experience, how did you teach such a good grandson? ”

Hearing people praise Xue Qingyan, Mrs. Xue naturally smiled from ear to ear, but she still said modestly: "It's over, he's still young at this time, so he can see so much." ”

Mrs. Xun also joined the topic, covered her mouth and quipped: "The old lady is right, Young Master Xue is afraid that he is also fifteen or sixteen years old, and he can marry his own son in two years and add a grandson to the old lady." ”

Old Mrs. Xue immediately smiled: "Look at this, Qingyan is still young, the virtual age is sixteen, but the real age is just over fourteen." ”

"Yo, it's fourteen, but we have to hurry up and make arrangements." Someone else said: "The old lady should show Young Master Xue the girl from now on, and settle the family affairs as soon as possible." When Young Master Xue gets married, you are waiting to hold your grandson! ”

When it comes to family matters and topics like heirs, women always can't finish talking. On this topic, everyone began to chat, and the atmosphere finally turned around.

Because Mrs. Xun pulled Li Xin, Li Xin didn't sit in the corner, and sat next to Mrs. Xun in an inner position. She rarely speaks, and it is inevitable that she will attract the attention of others.

"Why doesn't Mrs. Guan speak?" Mrs. You smiled and said, "Mrs. Guan can also say a few words." ”

Li Xin smiled: "I'm happy to listen to your ladies." ”

Old Lady Xue also looked at Li Xin.

But it was the Jiang girl who looked at Li Xin carefully and said, "This lady is looking at the face. ”

"It seems that I have indeed seen ...... somewhere," Old Lady Xue also frowned slightly and thought.

Li Xin took a deep breath and said with a smile: "My face is the public face that the big guy said, it looks like everyone, but no one is it." ”

Mrs. Xun patted Li Xin and said with a smile: "Who looks at you like everyone?" ”

Li Xin pretended to be surprised: "Didn't you just say that I was like your sister?" ”

Everyone burst into laughter, and Mrs. Xun was also very happy, and said to Mrs. Xue: "Old lady, she is a monkey, she is shy on weekdays, and when she talks about jokes, she will definitely make people laugh from ear to ear." ”

Old Lady Xue looked at Li Xin and said, "Look at this lady's appearance, she is pregnant." It's really an old body, and let Mrs. drag the pregnant body to the old body's side to celebrate the old body's birthday. ”

Li Xin hurriedly said: "The old lady doesn't need to worry, I am strong, and I also like to have a good time." Besides, the old lady's birthday, those of us who are juniors, have come to congratulate us from now on, and we are also touched by the blessings of the old lady. ”

As she spoke, Old Lady Xue nodded again and again.

After a while, a maid came to report that Young Master Xue had come to greet the old lady.

Old Mrs. Xue was busy sitting upright and asked people to invite him in.

Although Xue Qingyan was half an adult, he didn't have any scruples in front of these ladies and wives who were all his aunts, so he walked in proudly, first honestly greeted the old lady, and then gave Miss Jiang a full salute. Miss Jiang replied with a half-salute to him.

This move suddenly made the ladies present murmur in their hearts.
