An hour and a half ago.

On the fifth floor of Xunyang Building, one of the only two private rooms, is listed in the luxury box of "Taiyin".

Behind a private screen, there are two rare shadows, sitting and standing in front of the dresser.

The helpless voice of the lady who shook the step came:

"Okay, okay, don't look in the mirror, it's beautiful enough, my seventeenth lady is as beautiful as a fairy, these rouge ornaments and gorgeous clothes are just icing on the cake, and they are dragging their feet."

"My sister-in-law is talking nonsense."

The crisp voice of the Xie noblewoman Huang Ying sounded, and her tone sounded a little lacking in confidence, and she said weakly:

"Coax me."

She seemed to be worried about something.

Xie Lingjiang was only wearing a set of blue and pink belly pockets and small obscene pants, sitting on the embroidery stool, his skin was as white as snow, his long hair was like a waterfall, he was looking left and right at the dressing mirror in front of him, looking at her from all angles.

"What nonsense."

Xie Xue'e stood behind Xie Lingjiang, put down the wooden comb, gently pressed her hands on her sleek little shoulders, leaned forward, staring at her beloved niece in the mirror, the young woman's voice was magnetic and seductive:

"Seventeen Niang's delicate face, as well as this figure, even my aunt and I are excited, thin where it should be thin, fat where it should be fat, how can any man in the world not like it?

"Seventeen Niang can charm those young talents downstairs with a little powder, where do you need to be so troublesome, and you will still lack confidence?"

Xie Lingjiang looked forward to: "Really? ”

"Fake."

Xie Ling Jiang called angrily: "Sister-in-law! ”

"You know it's not fake? That still asks. ”

For her beloved niece who is not confident, Xie Xue'e has a headache and shakes her head in confusion.

Xie Lingjiang suddenly said: "He doesn't seem to like Qin Xiaoniang's thin body. ”

Xie Xue'e was stunned, tilted her head slightly, and thought for a while:

"Little lady Qin? The one downstairs? The one you ordered tonight? ”

"Hmm." Xie Lingjiang sat on the embroidery stool and nodded slightly:

"She's to blame the poor too."

Xie Xue'e shook her head, not caring about this trivial matter, and said in a helpless tone:

"But you're not skinny, well, there's only one place, it's too 'fat'."

Mrs. Buyaogui, who was standing behind the little beauty in her belly pocket, suddenly stretched out her hand.

"Yikes!"

Xie Lingjiang shrank his shoulders and was afraid of itching, patted away his aunt's cool jade hand, and rolled his eyes:

"Auntie, don't make trouble."

It was pinched and trembling fat, slippery and greasy, overflowing between fingers.

"Tsk." Xie Xue'e stroked the little girl's long hair, with envy in her eyes:

"Everyone says that Seventeen Niang is like my aunt when I was young, but where is this?"

Her lips were close to Xie Lingjiang's ears, and she blew the wind, whispering in the boudoir between her aunt and niece:

"Seventeen Niang is clearly more bright and moving, and there is such a wonderful fat place, blue out of blue and better than blue, where is it like me, it's just those people who compliment the concubine."

Xie Lingjiang's pretty face was extremely beautiful, he turned his head to avoid the wind in her ears, used his bare hands as a comb, and combed the long green silk hair that fell on his chest, his movements faintly revealed some shyness and nervousness, and said:

"Wait at the banquet, my sister-in-law is not allowed to say these shameful words."

"Of course, tonight, my family's seventeen mothers must look like the whole audience, hold the clouds high, and be the flower of the kaolin, so that the young talents are unattainable, and their hearts are itchy, this is what the Xie family's daughter should look like."

Xie Xue'e raised her chin slightly, and her tone was proud.

Xie Lingjiang didn't deny it, tilted his head and looked at the mirror, and was stunned for a while:

"However, I always feel that he only treats me as a simple junior sister, and sometimes, he treats me like a little girl, and has no other meaning......

Xie Xue'e squinted and listened for a while, and suddenly said:

"But what Seventeen Niang loves and likes, isn't it this kind of mature back that leads the way like a star and leads you to growth?"

Xie Lingjiang was silent for a while.

Biting his lip: "But the senior brother inevitably left too fast, and he didn't even look back to see who was behind him, and who had been following ......"

Xie Xue'e looked at the distracted expression on Xie Lingjiang's face, and smiled slightly:

"This Ouyang Lianghan is a person who does great things, judging by his actions, his goals are extremely clear, so he naturally puts his career first, and his children's private affairs are inevitably a little dull."

Xie Lingjiang frowned: "It's not dull." ”

"What's that?"

"It's stupid, it's stupid, it's stupid, it's a wooden head......"

“……”

Is there a difference?

Xie Xue'e rubbed her eyebrows and sighed helplessly:

"Okay, okay, it's useless for you to scold him in front of me, I came to Xunyang City for three days, and I don't know how many times I've heard you scold him, you have the ability to wake him up in person."

Xie Lingjiang raised his hands, covered his little face, showed his fingers, and quietly looked at the charming beauty in the mirror in front of him with bright eyes, and admitted stupidly: "I don't dare." ”

Xie Xue'e smiled: "Okay, relax, after tonight, he will open his mind and know that you are precious." ”

After speaking, as if evoking some memories, Mrs. Bu Shaogui grabbed the wooden comb, gently combed Xie Lingjiang's long hair, snorted softly, and said in a smug tone:

"Hmph, back then, your uncle was not also an elm head, remember, that night was also my birthday banquet, he was knocked on the head by your father and grandmother, and suddenly he had a light, and he couldn't get rid of it, Seventeen Niang, you don't know how sticky a man will be."

Xie Lingjiang looked back in a daze, looking at her aunt who looked extremely confident and in control, and was curious:

"It's really fake, my uncle looks so serious, and he's more serious than my father."

Xie Xue'e didn't answer, but only smiled and asked, "Silly niece, then you say, is your senior brother serious?" ”

Xie Lingjiang immediately nodded, paused, and shook his head again with a red face under Xie Xue'e's smiling gaze.

"Isn't that right? According to the observation of the concubine for many days, although this Ouyang Lianghan is upright and bright, and likes to take an upright path, he has many strange tricks and clever plans, and he is by no means the kind of pedantic Confucian. ”

"It's like doing things, and it's the same with being people." She shook her head and sighed: "Hey, it is this kind of serious and unserious man who is the most annoying, and can involve Seventeen Niang's heart like this." ”

"That makes sense......" Xie Lingjiang nodded while listening, and when she got to the back, she frowned suddenly and asked strangely:

"How does my aunt know the senior brother so well?"

Xie Xue'e knocked on the door of the little beauty in front of her belly and smiled:

"Your father specially asked me to come and teach you how to deal with this matter...... How can I not find out for myself, which stinky boy came to arch my Xie family's water spirit cabbage?

"You can't just sit and listen to your idiot full of praise, right?"

Xie Lingjiang covered his head and shrunk his head.

Knock Knock –

"Ma'am."

Just then there was a knock at the door, followed by a respectful salutation of a woman entering the house.

Xie Xue'e's smile narrowed a little and turned around:

"Seventeen Niang will go and put on the dress first."

Before stepping out of this private screen that blocked the spring color, she did not forget to advise:

"Tonight, I wore the floor-to-ceiling skirt I specially picked for you, and I brought it from Yangzhou."

Xie Lingjiang got up lightly and went to put on his dress.

"Come in."

The dignified and lazy voice of the noble lady sounded.

With a squeak, the door of the box with the sign "Taiyin" was gently pushed open.

Qingshu, who returned from the tip of the twin peaks one step faster than Ouyang Rong, walked into the house and saluted respectfully:

"Ma'am, he has come, and he is seated."

Xie Xue'e gracefully walked out of the screen, stepped on the Persian carpet as soft as cat hair, walked to a pear blossom wood chair in front of the smokeless charcoal stove in the center of the room, and sat down with a dignified face.

The peach-eyed maid who manages the affairs of the coat shop for his wife has a lower head, and she will be respectful, without the slightest lightness in front of Guo's shopkeeper today.

Xie Xue'e smiled: "Don't worry, let's talk about today's events first." Also, how did he answer the questions he asked you last night. ”

"Yes, ma'am."

Qingshu nodded, and explained in detail the words and deeds of someone recorded during the day today.

Xie Xue'e listened with great interest, and when Qingshu finished repeating it, she slowly bowed her head:

"He is a self-denying, talented and clean person, and he has a very principled bottom line."

Qingshu nodded: "The slave also thinks so, after a few days of getting along, Ouyang Gongzi behaves well, and his words and deeds are impressive." ”

After a pause, she said again: "Madam, the money we invested with Wang Caozhi this time should be able to earn back quickly......

"Okay, don't tell me this, whether it's profit or loss, you take the people below, just follow the vote, and stand on Ouyang Lianghan's side unconditionally at the critical moment. How many taels of silver do you need, just report an account when you go back. ”

When it came to business, Xie Xue'e waved her hand with interest, stood up, and before leaving, she turned her head to Qingshu and said meaningfully:

"Brother and Seventeen Niang's affairs in Xunyang City, the Xie family can't help much, but the concubine is in her personal name, with a little help, no one can put her beak."

"Understood, ma'am."

Qingshu took the order to retreat, Xie Xue'e lowered her eyes and tidied up her lower face, returned to the back of the screen in an impermanent manner, and saw Xie Lingjiang change her clothes.

I saw that the stunning little girl walked out of the back room in full costume, and while arranging the ribbon that tied her waist, she asked curiously:

"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about?"

"Little things." Xie Xue'e blinked her eyes and walked over to grab Xie Lingjiang's lotus root arm.

She turned her head to look at it, and poked her niece's pale forehead with a flat face:

"Okay, you girl, don't tie it up anymore, your waist is thin enough, if you strangle it again, won't it look fatter and fatter?"

"......" Xie Lingjiang.

Before she could stare, Xie Xue'e smiled and pulled Xie Lingjiang out of the door:

"Let's go and take a look at the unlucky ones we chose tonight."

Xie Lingjiang's little face suddenly became nervous.

"He's coming?"

Xie Xue'e smiled and nodded.

At this moment, downstairs, a young man with a white fur had just been led into the hall on the first floor by the welcome maid and sat down.

He didn't notice that the door of a certain box room on the fifth floor above his head opened from the inside, and two shadows, one large and one small, walked out of the middle.

The lady leaned on the railing and looked over, and asked with a smile:

"He is Ouyang Lianghan?"

Xie Ling Jiang lowered his head and whispered:

"Didn't my aunt see his portrait? Ask while knowing the answer. ”

Xie Xue'e glanced at the young man in the hall downstairs a few more times, and her eyes lingered on the handsome face of the wind god for a while:

"It's just that I didn't expect it to be even more handsome than the portrait, and I thought that the portrait sent by Qingshu had already added oil and vinegar, yes, both talent and appearance, not losing to your uncle back then."

She smiled and nodded slightly, as if satisfied:

"Our Xie girl chooses Lang Jun, she still has a vision, and she is still a character."

Xie Lingjiang frowned, turned his head to look at his aunt who had just come to Xunyang City, and said in a serious tone:

"Senior brother is not an embroidered pillow, how can my sister-in-law say something that is not."

Xie Xue'e whispered: "Not an embroidered pillow?" Not necessarily. ”

She paused, blinked her eyes before her little niece's willow eyebrows fell up, and said something that only a married woman could understand in seconds:

"You'll have to try it to find out."

Xie Lingjiang, who was about to argue with reason, was stunned, and after a while, the blush quickly crawled all over the fair and pretty face that had just been bathed and cleaned.

"My sister-in-law is unreasonable!"

Xie Lingjiang sneered at Mrs. Bu Shaogui, who was smiling and groaning, and turned her head away with a cold snort, not wanting to pay attention to her.

Just with her chin high, she puffed up alone for a while, and retorted without looking back:

"Senior brother is not an embroidered pillow." The following is deliberately emphasized.

Xie Xue'e smiled.

"Well, the concubine doesn't look like it." She nodded.

Xie Lingjiang gritted his teeth: "Sister-in-law, don't say it." ”

Xie Xue'e smiled and stopped teasing her.

"Oops." Xie Lingjiang suddenly shrank back.

Xie Xue'e also quickly took a step back, and it turned out that below, Ouyang Rong suddenly raised his head, as if he was aware of something, and looked around in confusion.

Xie Xue'e and Xie Lingjiang glanced at each other, and tacitly returned to the "Taiyin" box.

Back in the house, Xie Lingjiang walked to the stove, stared at the charcoal, and had a pretty face:

"Sister-in-law, wouldn't it be good to do this tonight?"

"What's wrong? Tonight, I must let him know how honorable the Xie family's concubine is. Most of the men in the world are like this, it is too easy to get and it is difficult to cherish.

"Only let him see that I don't know how many people spoil you and please you, you don't lack people to chase, you are surrounded by excellent Langjun, knowing how noble your identity is, he begins to know how to cherish it."

Xie Lingjiang muttered: "Is it the same for Senior Brother......

"Only human beings are afraid of losing, especially those who have ever had." Xie Xue'e sighed: "I shouldn't have done these things, but your aunt left early, and your father likes this disciple too much, so he can't be strict, so I have to do it as an aunt." ”

"That's right." Mrs. Bu Shaogui turned around and asked, "Over there in Xunyang Palace, are you coming tonight?" ”

"Nope." Xie Lingjiang shook his head: "But this morning, Uncle Wei and Sister Bao'er have also ordered a bowl of longevity noodles." ”

Xie Xue'e pulled the corners of her mouth and nodded: "This lord is indeed much more sensible than before." ”

Xie Lingjiang raised his head and said seriously: "I haven't asked my sister-in-law, don't you care about my senior brother's family background?" ”

Xie Xue'e looked sideways: "What if you care, what if you don't care, the Xie family is prominent, and the heroes are glorious, isn't it just to give future generations the opportunity to choose willfully?"

"Xie's attitude towards your marriage is the same as the relationship between Brother and Xunyang Palace."

Xie Lingjiang was a little worried: "But there are many clansmen in Jinling who are close to the Wei family, and they often blame their father, and the relationship is getting stiffer and stiffer. ”

"Seventeen Niang remember, at this moment, the more stiff the relationship between Brother and them, the better."

Xie Xue'e praised her tone and said eloquently:

"The Chen Jun Xie clan has been able to stand in the south of the Yangtze River for hundreds of years, and it is not because of the correct bet that is one-sided again and again, but that it never hinders the children of the Xie family, and each of them seeks the master, even if they are hostile to each other.

"Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, what storms have the Xie family not seen? It is said that the battle for leaving the guard is dangerous, but can it be dangerous when the mad emperor trampled on the lintel of the Jiangzuo Shi clan with the unification of the north and south with the dynasty, slaughtered the Shi clan everywhere to practice qi, and looted the secret treasure of the Ding Sword? ”

Xie Xue'e smiled: "Coincidentally, the hussar general who was loyal to the Mad Emperor and took the lead in digging three feet into the ground is a 'Xie family rebel' who absconded from the Northern Dynasty in his early years and changed his surname to cut. ”

Xie Lingjiang nodded slightly.

Xie Xue'e suddenly asked: "Seventeen Niang shouldn't have reported to him, right?" ”

Xie Lingjiang didn't squint: "No." ”

Seeing her serious appearance, Xie Xue'e was suspicious: "Gifts or something, and there is no reminder to prepare?" ”

"No, no."

"That's good." Xie Xue'e nodded: "It's boring to prepare in advance, just to catch him off guard, deepen his guilt and self-shame, and take a good look at the glamour of Seventeen Niang." After tonight, Seventeen Niang only needs to take a step closer, he is flattered and cherishes you in every way? ”

Xie Lingjiang lowered his head and thought about it, bit his silver teeth lightly, and admonished: "That aunt promised me, don't go too far tonight, and don't do anything to insult him." ”

Xie Xue'e smiled and shook her head: "First, if there is no accident tonight, the concubine will only say a few words, and let him sit closer, you can see that Seventeen Niang is sought after by young talents, and she knows how expensive the fifth surnamed girl is, knock on the elm head, if it is not necessary, she will not deliberately insult him." ”

She chuckled:

"Second, the whole world knows the door valve.

"In the six hundred years since I, the Xie clan of Chenjun, have never insulted Jiangzuo Hanshi."

After a pause, the woman faintly:

"Except for my son-in-law."

Xie Ling Jiang smiled happily.

After a while, a clever maid knocked on the door and walked in, reminding the hour.

The aunt and niece glanced at each other, got up elegantly, and went downstairs.

The official debut, everyone was amazed......
