Chapter Twenty-Three: A Gift from the Deity

Previous Chapter

"Yes, Daddy, you can read carefully, don't let Sister Hua be deceived by the liars outside." Ma Shuyun hurriedly agreed.

"Liar?" Jiang Zhan frowned and looked coldly at Ma Shuyun, who had just spoken.

Where did Ma Shuyun think that Jiang Guoshi would talk to him, and he glanced at himself so coldly, his throat suddenly choked, and he shrank his neck timidly.

"Is Miss Ma saying that the deity is a liar?"

The fluttering words made everyone present suddenly dumbfounded. What does the national teacher mean by this......

For a moment, the whole banquet was silent.

Xie Sihua couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at him, a little surprised.

After a long time, he heard a laugh break the silence, it was Xiao Duo who looked at Jiang Zhan's serious face on the stage, he couldn't help it, and when he saw that everyone turned their heads, he arched his hand and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you." ”

Jiang Zhan looked at the string of prayer beads in Ma Jingting's hand, and said coldly: "This string of jade Buddha beads was given to the four girls by the deity. ”

Xie Sihua looked at him in such a posture, and almost choked on his own saliva for a while.

…… And then what? But I went on to make up a reason for sending her this.

Xie Sihua said in a hurry, but for a moment, looking at his calm appearance, he felt that he was worried, he didn't care about his reputation, what was she doing for others here, maybe ...... He already felt that he had a clear conscience and nothing to be empty-hearted, so naturally he didn't have much to explain.

This will surprise not only everyone in the audience, even the Xie family themselves, who are also stunned.

For a while, a lot of confusion came to everyone's minds, how could Jiang Guoshi, who was not stained by the world, know Miss Xie Si? And a gift? Is it because of this little girl that she will appear at this birthday banquet today? Why does Jiang Guoshi, who is cold to everyone, look at such a deep boudoir girl differently......

Jiang Zhan naturally wouldn't give them answers to these questions, so they all focused their eyes on Xie Sihua again.

The breeze blew through the surface of the blue cloud pool, blowing a little cool, Xie Sihua looked at Jiang Zhan's slightly turned hem, and there were really many unspeakable questions in his heart, as well as ...... A touch of joy that can't be hidden.

"Oh, since it was given to the four girls by the national teacher, it is not surprising that the four girls have this, it is indeed a rare treasure." Ma Jingting took the lead in breaking the deadlock and put the beads back in the box.

In this way, everyone below woke up, and they flattered one after another, but when they looked at the veiled girl beside the old lady, their eyes were a little more meaningful.

The county lord of Qingping also frowned, staring at Xie Sihua unabashedly, looking left and right, with some regrets, she should have taken off her veil in the inner courtyard to take a look.

Xie Siqi was dragging the corners of her clothes with both hands, Ma Shuyun looked at her angry appearance with a side face, knowing that things were messed up, and said a little apologetically: "Siqi ......"

"It's okay, I didn't expect that thing to be given to her by the national teacher." Xie Sihua calmed down the hatred in his heart and said in a deep voice. She thought about it, only on the night when she was plotted by Xie Sihua in Fahua Temple, Xie Sihua said that she copied scriptures with the national teacher in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.

"I'm going to change my clothes." Xie Siqi let go of the corner of her clothes that had made her wrinkled unshapely, got up and left.

Standing on the edge, Lu Wu saw Xie Siqi get up and go back towards Qiyue Pavilion, and quietly withdrew from the banquet.

The scene was a little cold for a while because of the suspicion in everyone's hearts, Xue stepped forward and asked Xie Sihua to help the old lady go down to sit, and arranged for the servants invited from the Pear Flower Building to sing on stage, and it was lively again after a while.

It's just that Xie Sihua went this time, and those noble ladies who couldn't hold back came to talk, approaching her intentionally or unintentionally, and listening to a little bit about her and the national teacher.

These women have been immersed in the back house for many years, which one has no means, I thought it would be easy to put some words from Xie Sihua's girl's mouth, but who knew that this little girl's mouth was very tight, and several people took turns chasing and intercepting them, but they couldn't find out a little more.

"The fourth girl's mouth is really tight, it is not airtight at all, I don't know if there is a marriage match now?" Yu Shi, the wife of Qian Zhong, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, looked at Xie Sihua, liked it very much, and asked the old lady with a smile.

The rest of the women listened to Yu's question, and their hearts tightened, and they were not embarrassed to speak, but let this Yu ask first.

Although Xie Sihua is a concubine, she is obviously promoted by the national teacher now, and Xie Xuan is also a scholar of the third-grade military department, if this family business can be successful, it will not be a loss.

Although this is the case, the rest of the women still did not act rashly, just waiting to see what the old lady said.

The old lady saw through Yu's thoughts at a glance, but she still belonged to the Pingnanhou family, and her family background was more prominent, not to mention that Qian Zhong's sister-in-law and Xie Sihua's age match is the eldest son Qian Yuan, which is not a good reputation.

So, the old lady also replied with a smile: "This girl has a hard life, she has no mother since she was a child, I watched her grow up, and I still have some reluctance in my heart, and I want to keep her with me for another year or two." ”

Listening to the old lady's words, although the Yu family was a little deflated, it was good to think about it, at least not married yet, and wait to see how the national teacher and her were. As for the rest of the women, they all breathed a sigh of relief, although they didn't have the heart to the point of casually kissing, but they also wanted to guard against it, in case the national teacher really promoted this Xie Si girl very much, of course they didn't want the Yu family to bargain.

Xie Sihua raised her eyes and hurriedly glanced at Yu, her cheeks were slightly fat, her body was plump, and her appearance was spicy, it seems that the fat man Qian Yuan followed his mother's appearance, but I don't know how a person as pedantic as Qian Zhong could marry such a wife, and he wants to be a strict wife at home, right?

Yu Shi just turned his eyes at this time, the two eyes collided, Xie Sihua quickly hid the sneer in his eyes, and looked at Yu with a slight smile.

Seeing her so gentle, Yu also smiled and said to her: "You are better and often come to my house to play?" My daughter Qian Min is the same age as you, you should be able to have fun. ”

"Mrs. Xie." Xie Sihua thanked him.

The county lord of Qingping, who was not far away, had been looking sideways at the movement, and the look of disdain on his face saw Xie Sihua's rigorous and decent response, but it gradually faded a lot, and at this moment, he secretly looked at the four girls of Shangshu Mansion with a little seriousness.

In fact, many people in the noble circle know that Xie Xuanxiu gave up marrying another powerful person, and then took his ex-wife home, and there was no one in the dynasty for this operation, so speaking of which, this Xie Sihua can barely be regarded as a concubine.

"Grandmother, I'll go to the kitchenette and see how the feast is ready."

After being surrounded by several women for a long time, Xie Sihua found a reason to take the opportunity to slip away, but the old lady knew what she meant, so she agreed.
