The words had been spoken, and it was impossible for the Xie family not to answer. Even though the old lady was a little uneasy, she had to smile and say: "Mrs. Gao, you are too polite. If there is anything we can do to help, just say so."
Mrs. Gao waved her hands repeatedly, "I don't know whether to help or not, but I heard that the girl in your house is going to hold a wedding ceremony in two days. I wonder if the guest of honor has been invited?"
Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Qi looked at each other, and then the old lady's eyes were a bit inquiring, and she said with a polite smile: "It's true, Madam, I'm still writing the post, and I'm thinking about it."
Where is my son!"
Mrs. Gao was very happy when she heard this, "Speaking of it, I can be considered a complete person, so I just wanted to introduce myself to the girl in your house as an official guest. I don't know if that would be a bit presumptuous."
Xie Songhua's heart skipped a beat.
Generally speaking, for a daughter's haircut ceremony, the guests she invites are people with whom she has a particularly good relationship, and the guests and complimenters at the hairpin ceremony are more presentable only if they have a close relationship with her.
The Xie Mansion and the Gao Mansion had no contact in the past, and now everyone in the capital was fixating on the third and fourth girls of the Xie family.
Doesn't inviting the Gao family to be the official guests at this time further illustrates the close relationship between the Xie family and the third prince?
Xie Songhua couldn't help but quietly turned his eyes to the old lady, and sure enough he saw her face full of joy, "What do you say! It's a blessing that you can't even invite. That's why they sisters are so lucky to have Madam Gao as the official guest."
At this point, Xie Songhua is not taking any chances, and Xie Tu's words couldn't be more correct.
After sending Mrs. Gao away, Xie Sihua immediately opened the purse just now and said in surprise: "Wow, what a big deal!"
Everyone then saw a few pearls on her hand, each one was as big as a finger, round and bright, and even in the daytime, there was some sparkling luster.
When I first held it in my hand, I thought it was a golden bean, but who knew it was actually a pearl.
Isn’t that a big deal?
At this moment, opening the greeting gift given by the elders in public seemed a little unruly.
But after all, we are all girls. Strictly speaking, pearls cannot be regarded as money. Girls can't help but like pearls, which seems to be normal.
Therefore, the old lady and the three ladies did not say anything.
Everyone else was comparing and looking at it, and Ding Xiang also opened Xie Songhua's purse and poured out the contents.
As soon as he saw the pearl, Xie Songhua noticed something was wrong. Just when he was about to ask Ding Xiang to take it back, he heard Xie Li's voice: "Why does the fourth sister seem to be older than us?"
This sentence attracted the attention of others. Xie Qionghua quickly ran over, compared it and said with certainty: "It's really bigger."
Xie Shuhua heard this and quickly opened her purse, but her pearls were no different from anyone else's.
Just when Xie Songhua was about to say something, he heard the old lady say with a smile: "It's not like a small family who has never seen the world. Or they want to make some jewelry, or they want to put it on their clothes.
You can go back and make up your own mind!"
Not long after the group of people walked out of Shou'an Hall, Xie Songhua was blocked by Xie Shuhua, "Fourth sister, how about a chat?"
Everyone else looked over when they heard the sound, but then left.
For a while, only the two of them, Lilac and Dongxue were left on the road.
Just as Xie Songhua was about to speak, she preempted her, "Fourth sister, don't say anything like you have nothing to talk about with me. In the current situation, we are like grasshoppers tied on a rope."
"What do you want to say?" Xie Songhua walked forward slowly, his eyes lingering among the flowers and plants, as if he was not interested in the person next to him at all.
"What's your impression of the Fourth Sister towards His Highness the Third?"
The temptation in her eyes was so obvious that even if she wanted to ignore it, Xie Songhua said angrily: "I haven't seen it before, I'm not familiar with it."
"The fourth sister has heard of it, right?"
"Can you be more direct?" Xie Songhua looked around and said, "There are no outsiders here. You can just say it straight. It's really a waste of time to talk in circles."
I don’t know why, but sometimes what Xie Songhua says is not unreasonable, but when the words come out of her mouth, Xie Shuhua always feels like beating her up.
"Just now, Mrs. Gao said that she would be the guest of honor for our wedding ceremony, but she didn't say which of us would be the guest of honor. Can Fourth Sister give me this opportunity?"
Xie Songhua raised his eyebrows, raised his lips and smiled, "Why?"
These three words immediately changed the expression on Xie Songhua's face. Her gloomy gaze fell on Xie Songhua's face, "Is it possible that you really have ambitions for the third prince?"
Xie Songhua raised his eyebrows, smiled innocently and harmlessly, and then slowly walked up to Xie Shuhua, "What does it have to do with you?"
"You..." Xie Shuhua gritted her teeth and said, "Based on you, do you think the third prince can like you? You wouldn't think that you have lived in the Xie family for half a year, learned the rules for two months, and been in bed for three months.
She is a real noble lady, right?
Have you washed the mud off your legs before you dare to wish for something that doesn't belong to you? I advise you not to daydream, so as not to bring trouble on yourself."
Xie Songhua simply crossed his arms and looked at her calmly, "So, you want to be the third prince's concubine? Do you think I am no match for you?"
Xie Shuhua seemed to have heard some joke, "You can't even recognize this, can you?"
"On the contrary, I originally thought so, but..."
"But what?"
Xie Songhua's eyes swept up and down her body, "But from your reaction now, I have confirmed one thing."
She took two steps forward and smiled wildly, "I confirm that I can compete with you."
Seeing the frozen expression on Xie Shuhua's face for a moment, she smiled and returned to her original seat, "You don't seem to be as confident as you said!"
"Thank you! Praise! Hua!" Xie Shuhua read her name word by word, "I'm giving you a chance. You don't want to toast me and eat the fine wine. The third prince and I are old acquaintances. You know each other better."
I just want to make the situation simpler, you are good, I am good, and everyone is good."
"No, I'm not very good," Xie Songhua shook his head, "I've long heard that the Third Prince has a beautiful tree in the wind, is humble and knows etiquette, and has such a noble status. Why shouldn't I fight for it? What's more, I can clearly see it.
When I came out, the Gao family seemed to like me even more!"
After she finished speaking, she no longer looked at Xie Shuhua's livid face, and turned to the road back to Yanchuntai, "If Third Sister has nothing else to do, I will go back first. Later, Mrs. Gao will be the guest of honor for me, so I should prepare
Some tokens of thanks in return.”
Xie Shuhua knew that this Xie Songhua was not as innocent and cowardly as he had been when he first arrived.
She originally wanted to negotiate terms with the other party, but unexpectedly, the other party not only had no intention of communicating with her, but also showed off his power in front of her very arrogantly.
Then she must take action!
After being nervous for a while, Ding Xiang couldn't help but ask her girl, "Aren't you afraid that the third girl will use tricks behind her back?"
Xie Songhua turned around and touched the top of her head, "What do you think?"
Ding Xiang was puzzled, but she didn't wait for an answer.
She would not know that Xie Songhua had the intention of irritating Xie Shuhua.
In this current situation, chaos is not terrible, the most terrible thing is calmness. If it stays like this, she may very well have to follow the wishes of the superiors of the Xie family and walk step by step to the position they want her to walk into.
It's better to muddy the situation and maybe there will be some opportunities.
There is nothing better than letting Xie Shuhua do it!
