Chapter 265: Bickering
Mrs. Chen's birthday banquet, the daughter of the Xie family is definitely going to go.
In fact, Mrs. Chen didn't plan to make a big deal, but Chen Bo was only transferred to the capital this spring, and her birthday banquet was particularly crucial.
Officials and wives of the same level in the capital always have to be invited again, which is also a good opportunity to get through the relationship.
Because Chen Bo's official rank is placed here, the ladies and ladies that Mrs. Chen can invite are all similar to her.
However, the Chen family also has some roots in the capital, and the old lady still holds the title of Sanpin, so there are also some old friends to support.
Liu Ruolan brought Xie Rongzhao over to celebrate his birthday, which was quite conspicuous.
After Xie Rongzhao saluted and said hello, he was led out by Chen Jiaojiao to talk to the girls.
Xu Ruyi came earlier than them, and she brought Queen Qin'er over, just to see if there was a suitable family affair.
Wang Qin'er herself also knows that her identity is embarrassing, the eldest daughter, as long as she is stained with a concubine character, those high-ranking ladies will not choose her to be the wife.
Wang Qin'er feels that she has grown up and has gained knowledge, if her mother is unwilling to help her, then she will choose by herself.
Wang Qin'er saw Chen Jiaojiao and Xie Rongzhao together, her eyes rolled, and she hurriedly got closer.
"Sister Zhao, I haven't seen you for a few days, I heard that you went to Zhuangzi with Brother Xie before, when did you come back?"
Xie Rongzhao smiled: "I came back a long time ago, but I was disobedient and suffered from the wind, so I raised my head at home for a few days." ”
Chen Jiaojiao's face changed slightly: "When did it happen, why don't I know?" You girl too, you don't tell me when you're sick, are you better now? ”
Chen Jiaojiao said as she went to probe her forehead.
Xie Rongzhao turned around slightly and held her wrist: "Sister Jiaojiao, don't worry, I'm fine." ”
When the words fell, I didn't forget to wink at her.
As soon as Chen Jiaojiao saw her look, she knew that it was intentional.
"Well, that's good, let's go sit over there, and you can see the red carp in the pond."
While a few people were talking and laughing, two more girls came up, and when they arrived in the pavilion, there were already eight or nine girls.
Xie Rongzhao's age is relatively young, after all, Chen Jiaojiao is already at the age when it is time to get married, and most of the people who come today are about the same age as her.
Wang Qin'er is also not familiar with these young ladies, thanks to Chen Jiaojiao's introduction.
However, as soon as those young ladies heard that Wang Qin'er was a concubine, the eagerness in their eyes faded a lot.
Xie Rongzhao also understands this.
The more high-ranking the family, the more attention is paid to the concubine.
Xie Rongzhao and Wang Qin'er have an average relationship, and they didn't think about helping her out of the siege, thinking about Wang Jin's affection, they only need to deal with the past on a bright face.
Someone in the pavilion prepared something, and everyone discussed playing with the pitcher.
Xie Rongzhao is not very good at playing this, and after playing two rounds, he was out early.
Xie Rongzhao originally had no intention of showing off here, after all, today was Mrs. Chen's birthday banquet, and the main purpose was to make friends with these ladies and ladies in the capital, she didn't want to be noticed by too many people.
It is enough to have a beautiful Daddy who is in the limelight in the court, and she and Auntie only need to be a vase as a foil.
"Yo, Sister Zhao, it's been a long time since I've seen you."
Xie Rongzhao raised his head, and then saw that the person who spoke was Xie Chunhua.
Not only her, but also a girl standing next to her who looked beautiful, but her eyes were not so kind.
"It turned out to be Sister Chunhua, and I haven't seen her for a long time. Who is this? ”
"What? Miss Xie is really forgetful, I haven't seen you for a few days, and Miss Xie doesn't remember me? ”
Last year, Liu Ruolan also took Xie Rongzhao to Xie's house on Anhe Street for a banquet, it stands to reason that she saw it at that time, and she shouldn't forget it.
But the problem is that Xie Rongzhao is not very happy to associate with the people of Xie Huaiyi's family at all, so naturally he doesn't pay much attention.
As for Xie Chunhua, it was also because she and Zhao Ying had known each other for a long time, so they became familiar with it.
"I'm really sorry, please forgive my sister's clumsiness, this sister is dressed very beautifully today, and she didn't recognize it."
Xie Rongzhao is not easy to mess with, the other party's tone is not good as soon as she speaks, she has not wronged herself to fulfill the kindness of others.
Xie Chunhua on the side lowered his head and smiled, Xie Rongzhao's mouth was like smearing honey when it was sweet, and when it was really scared, it was like having a knife.
"Humph! Don't come to this set, I think you are clearly a noble person who forgets things. You went to our house a year ago, and you don't remember me now? ”
No matter how stupid Xie Rongzhao is, he can guess that it must be a certain young lady of the Xie family, but there are too many young ladies of the Xie family, and there are several young ladies of the same age, so she can't admit it completely.
"I know that my sister is from Xie Fu, but Sister Chunhua has many sisters, and I didn't recognize which one you were for a while."
I've been talking for a long time, but you should introduce yourself first!
Isn't it interesting to talk around like that?
Xie Chunning was angry, and he was reluctant to take the initiative to tell his name, as if he was very ordinary.
"Good sister is almost angry, Sister Zhao is young, and our family is indeed a lot of people, it is normal for her to not remember for a while."
Xie Chunhua made a round and said: "Sister Zhao, this is my cousin Chunning, when I was last year, you met before, but because there are many people, you may not be able to speak." ”
Xie Rongzhao suddenly realized at this time: "Oh, it turned out to be Sister Chunning, the little sister is here to apologize to you, I really didn't recognize it just now, please forgive me." ”
Xie Rongzhao was slightly blessed, in front of so many girls, it seemed that Xie Chunning was a little unreasonable.
After all, even Xie Chunhua said it, although he had seen it in the Xie family, but he hadn't spoken at all, how could Xie Rongzhao know which one of the Xie family you were?
Xie Chunning blushed with anger, but there was no way, so he had to sit on the side angrily.
Xie Rongzhao turned around and turned his back to her and bared his teeth, this person's popularity was too great.
Xie Chunhua smiled and patted her hands: "I remember that you don't play well with pots, but it's quite addictive?" ”
Chen Jiaojiao walked over and said with a smile: "Sister Zhao is indeed not playing very well. But she herself said that if she goes back and practice more, she will definitely win us next time. ”
When the words fell, the girls burst into laughter.
Xie Rongzhao was young and thick-skinned, and he just laughed stupidly.
Although Mrs. Chen held a birthday banquet in the garden this time, she still had an extra heart.
Two tables were set up in the twin pavilions, just enough for the girls to sit down, and the ladies sat opposite them in the flower hall, which was surrounded on all sides by wooden doors, all of which could be dismantled.
Now the doors facing the ladies have been torn down, and the ladies can look closely at the ladies there.
"Yo, that girl in an aqua blue dress is so pretty, looking blessed, I don't know which girl it is?"
Mrs. Chen San, who was late, spoke first, she was thinking about showing her son a family affair, and she saw that one at a glance.
