"The new second lady from the General's Mansion feels very good. ”

This is the evaluation of Xie Yan in the market. General Xie Yuan's second daughter was lost and recovered, which is the talk of the whole Jinling in the past few days. For this reason, the General's Mansion also held a banquet for three consecutive days, inviting almost all the ministers and princes and nobles of the imperial court, as well as some famous people in the rivers and lakes. Even the ordinary people in the city, if they want to join in the fun, will be welcomed.

"It seems that the general likes the second lady very much!"

It is said that the banquet has only been held for one day, and more than a dozen letters of appointment have been received!"

"What are you two gossiping about here? The front hall is so busy, why don't you hurry over and help!" A loud shout interrupted the conversation between the two maids, and the person who came was wearing a purple and blue gauze double dress, with black hair pulled into a hanging bun, and a little Xiaoxia makeup on his face, which made him even more delicate. It's just that Xie Wan is just a foil at this banquet, so no matter how good the makeup is, she only wins a distant glance from others, which makes her more and more unhappy.

"Great, Miss. Seeing this, the two maids immediately bowed their heads in fear and saluted, and left quickly. Xie Wan was still not happy, and said in her heart: "It's really getting more and more lazy! I'll tell Steward Cao in a moment and ask him to fine you for a month!"

"Don't be angry, Miss, it's too late to go to the front hall. Yuzhu, the maid beside her, reminded in a whisper, but Xie Wan glanced at her: "Of course I know about this, do I still need your reminder?"

Compared to the unpleasantness on Xie Wan's side, the front hall was much more peaceful. Almost everyone who came had to take their family members to greet Xie Yuan, and by the way, take a closer look at Xie Yan and say a word or two of compliments. They also heard about Xie Yan being accepted as an apprentice by a Taoist priest before, and thought that she had become a female crown full of "immeasurable heavenly dignity", but when they saw it today, they felt that she was born with pink carving, and then heard her "uncle and uncle" call her obediently, and they couldn't help but be a little more surprised and praised.

Xie Yuan was also surprised by Xie Yan's well-behaved today. After crying that day, he sent a teacher to teach her the basic etiquette rules, I thought that this girl would not listen to the teaching, but he did not expect that she would learn everything, give everything to eat, and there was no sign of disobedience to discipline, so there was a little love in her heart. At today's banquet, Mrs. Xie also dressed her up carefully, looking really like a daughter born in the General's Mansion.

"Yan'er, after standing with my father for a long time, are you tired, do you want to eat something?" After all, Mrs. Xie was soft-hearted, knowing that her daughter was still too young to stand dignifiedly, her body would be unbearable, so she walked over and gently stroked her hair, and asked softly.

"Thank you, mother, Yan'er is not tired. "It's just a little thirsty.

She smiled sweetly at Mrs. Xie, and followed Xie Yuan to meet another person: "Uncle, uncle, you are reasonable." She saw that there was a little brother who was not much older than him next to the official, so she continued to salute: "Little brother Wanfu." ”

Hearing what Xie Yan said, he smiled and instructed the people around him to present the congratulatory gift, saying, "General Xie's daughter can be very likable." ”

"Haha, Lord Ling praised it too much," Xie Yuan's expression showed a little respect, and gently patted Xie Yan's shoulder: "Go and take your brother Lingyou around, I have something to discuss with your uncle." ”

"Yes, Daddy. ”

Xie Yan made a blessing, and then said to the little brother in front of him: "Brother Lingyou come with me, and I will take you for a walk." ”

The child was only twelve or thirteen years old, but he looked like an adult. His face was handsome, and he couldn't see any curiosity and innocence that he should have at this age between his eyebrows, so he just said to Xie Yan: "You look thirsty." ”

Xie Yan nodded, but didn't pick up the teapot to pour water for himself to drink: "Mama said that you can't drink water when there are many people." ”

One is that I am afraid that the appearance of drinking water in a hurry is indecent and lead to gossip, and the other is that I am afraid that I will have to go to the toilet if I drink too much water, which is really inconvenient at the banquet. Ling You sneered: "You just drink water, I'll see who dares to say you." ”

Xie Yan didn't understand why he sneered at letting others drink water. When she heard Ling You say this, she poured herself a small glass of water, covered her face with her sleeve and leaned up, wiped the corners of her mouth delicately, and said, "Let Brother Ling smile." ”

Ling You looked at her with a frown: "You are not at all different from your sister. Do you know what our family is all about?"

"What's the matter?"

Originally, the teaching mother should have taught her to recognize the appearance and positions of various officials in the court, but the time was too short, and she only knew the Hubu Shangshu Kui Naidong who had two mustaches and liked children very much. Because he was the only one of these Shangshu who gave her halva to eat.

"Brother Lingyou!"

The two of them looked up at the same time, but saw Xie Wan just walking over this way. After she finished saluting him, she naturally stood beside him, and at the same time gently squeezed Yun away at will: "Brother Lingyou, I didn't expect you to come today, things must be very busy, right?" ”

This was said seamlessly, and Xie Yan didn't have time to insert a word. He didn't say much, but turned around and quietly walked to the side, struck up a conversation with the children of the other officials. Ling You just wanted to say something, but Xie Wan had already grabbed his arm with one hand. Facing her innocent smile, he also smiled: "Okay." ”
