"They must have been invited. This Mandi City has enough status, and all unmarried girls should go there." Ming Jing reminded, "Girls will need to be more careful when dealing with them."
Xie Yixiao was given a marriage to Rong Ci, and he picked up this pearl that many people were thinking about. The pearl had its own owner, and perhaps most people just laughed it off and regarded it as a thing of the past.
But there are always some who are unwilling to do so, or even hold grudges. They may not dare to say anything on the surface, but they still don’t know what will happen. If any evil thoughts arise...
Ming Jing bit his lip, his usually gentle eyes turning cold.
Xie Yi smiled and nodded: "Yes, you should be more careful."
After all, she felt that such a party was a bit boring. Even if she couldn't eat well, she might need to be careful to guard against someone who might harm her. Not to mention, there were so many people coming and going at this banquet and that banquet.
, it’s really easy for problems to arise.
Xie Yixiao prepared two sets of the same clothes. She wore one and put the other in her bag to take with her. When she leaves tomorrow, she will also need to bring the makeup she is used to. It will also come in handy if she needs to touch up her makeup.
.
In this case, it is better to read a book and sleep at home. If you really want to get together, invite three or five close friends to get together, drink tea and chat, that is real happiness.
It's just a pity that everything in the world is not always perfect, and there are always things that people don't want to do but have to do.
For example, in this matter now, she had to give Duke Cao some face and treat it with caution.
In the early morning of the next day, after breakfast, Xie Zhu came to find her. Two girls from the side branch came with her. It was like a big family. The direct branch took the girls from the side branch out to meet them.
Things are normal in the world.
But you can't bring too many people, just one or two at a time, and they have to be obedient and well-behaved, and they can't cause trouble.
These two girls are fourteen and fifteen years old. They are both girls of the same generation as Xie Su. The younger one is named Xie You and the older one is named Xie Yue. They are both well-off, and they are both smart and sensible girls.
Xie Zhu hadn't even changed her clothes yet. If she went to a party like this too early, she would be suspected of currying favor with others, and it wouldn't be interesting to spend the whole day in other people's houses.
So most people plan to set off at 6 o'clock in the morning (9 o'clock in the morning). When they go there, it's close to noon, or they just sit down and chat for a while. Then it's noon time, and then it's 3 o'clock in the afternoon. If you feel it's really boring, just watch
See if there is any chance of slipping away.
"Little aunt."
"Thirteenth Aunt."
Three girls came forward to salute, Xie Zhu walked in front, Xie You and Xie Yue followed. After the girls dressed up a little, they looked pleasing to the eye.
Xie Yixiao was sitting on a table under the eaves reading a book. Hearing this, he raised his head and said, "You guys are here so soon? Isn't it time to set off yet?"
Xie Zhu walked over quickly and sat down on a chair next to her: "It will take half an hour before departure. Let me see how my little aunt is preparing."
Xie Yi smiled and said: "It's just a refreshing banquet. There's nothing to prepare. It's not like I haven't been there before."
The original owner was not close to the Xie family before, but she lived in the Changning Marquis Mansion and was a cousin of the Changning Marquis Mansion. She went in and out with Gu You, so she naturally attended many such banquets.
Although she found it a bit troublesome, she could still cope with it.
Xie Zhu thought about it, but she felt aggrieved and reached out to pull Xie Yixiao's arm: "My little aunt has never accompanied me there before."
Xie Yi smiled and paused, thinking to herself that you are only two years younger than me, why are you being coquettish? She could only say: "Then if there are any banquets that we want to go to together in the future, I will go with you."
After Xie Zhu heard this, she was satisfied: "Then little aunt must keep her word!"
"Do the math, do the math."
After coaxing the little girl, Xie Yixiao asked someone to bring some food over to them. Then it was time for her to take a bath and change clothes. Half an hour was enough to take a bath, change clothes, and dress up.
Seeing this, Xie Zhu left Xie You and Xie Yue behind and went back to his yard to tidy up. The maid brought tea and snacks, folded the half-read book by Xie Yixiao, and planned to put it away.
Xie Yue rolled her eyes and reached out to take the book from the maid's hand: "What book is Thirteenth Aunt reading?"
The maid quickly snatched the book back and said, "I don't know, Miss Yue, please sit down for a while while I put the book away for the girl so that she won't find it when she is looking for it."
With that said, she hurried into the house with the book in hand.
Xie Yue muttered softly: "How stingy, isn't it just a book that you can't even read?"
Xie You reminded: "After all, it belongs to Thirteenth Aunt. You can't touch it. If you go outside, you can't cause trouble."
If they followed her out and caused something to embarrass the Xie family, the Xie family would not be able to spare her. If the trouble went too far, they might lose their lives.
They are not legitimate daughters. If something happens, there will be no one to clean up the mess for them, and their parents and elders will not be able to protect them.
Xie Yue pursed her lips, feeling a little aggrieved, but she didn't dare to make a mistake, so she could only say: "I know, I know, I will definitely not talk nonsense outside."
Xie You said: "Speaking of which, I still envy Xie Su. Although she married far away, she married into a good family and she still has such a sum of money as a dowry."
Xie Yue disagreed: "What's the use? It's just an ordinary family. Although we are not direct descendants, our surname is Xie. In the future, it is not impossible to choose a bastard from a powerful family."
"If you marry so far away, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back for the rest of your life. What's so good about Jiangzhou is that it can't be as prosperous as the Imperial City."
She was asked to say that Xie Su was just stupid. Originally, Madam Xie just asked about this matter, but no one was willing, so Madam Xie found someone else to go to without forcing them, but Xie Su jumped out on her own.
Xie You thought about it and felt that Xie Su had married too far away. Even if she had to escape from that home, her family would arrange a good marriage for her.
Xie Yue took a piece of snack to eat and took another sip of tea. She was a little envious of this kind of life. It would be great if she was also born on the side of the direct branch. Unfortunately, she was only envious and jealous.
Half an hour later, Xie Yixiao and Xie Zhu finished packing, got on the carriage with a group of people, and headed to Cao Guogong's Mansion.
At this time, Cao Guogong's mansion was already lively. Cao Sijin, the third girl of the Cao family, was sitting in the crowd talking to the guests. She was wearing a peony red dress, sitting in the crowd, chatting with the guests.
Cao Sijin was fourteen years old and had an ordinary appearance. Among the group of beautiful girls, she seemed even more ordinary. However, her calm and calm demeanor raised her temperament a lot.
"I heard that the third girl also invited the thirteenth girl from Xie Ge's hometown this time?"
