After two days of teaching, Mrs. Xie and Xie Kang got on the carriage together and left the capital.
After sending Mrs. Xie away, Xie Youwei spent several days at home taking care of this and that, and couldn't help but feel a little headache.
But Xie Youwei didn't expect that the first banquet that required diplomacy would come so quickly.
A post was sent to the Taiwei's house, inviting Xie's house to attend the banquet at the Taiwei's house.
The host of the banquet is the wife of the prime minister's house, and the banquet is also the birthday banquet of that lady.
Xie Youwei looked at the post and felt a little confused for a moment.
There were two prime ministers in the current dynasty, namely the left prime minister and the right prime minister.
Zuo Xiang Xie Youwei is somewhat familiar with him.
The left prime minister's surname was Cheng, who was Cheng Jingnian's biological father.
Because Cheng Jingnian and Xie Lianzhu have been on good terms since childhood, the relationship between the two families is quite good. At least Xie Youwei has seen a lot of interactions between the two families in the past two days.
And the other Prime Minister's right-hand minister is Prime Minister Na Yu.
Speaking of Prime Minister Yu, his identity is not that simple.
After all, she has the same surname as the Queen Mother.
Relying on the Queen Mother's power over the Prime Minister and her followers, there is a much longer queue than that of Prime Minister Cheng.
The person who posted the message to the Xie Mansion about this banquet was the Prime Minister’s wife.
Xie You pursed her lips slightly, already feeling something bad in her heart.
This was obviously aimed at her.
After all, she had bullied Xia Ruochun, the good niece of the Prime Minister's wife Xia.
The Xia family probably hates Xie Youwei's family now, and I guess the Xia family won't have a good impression of her either.
Otherwise, the Xia family would be holding such a good party.
Xie Youwei has gone through those account books several times. She has never seen Yu Xia hold a birthday banquet before. Moreover, Yu Xia is still young, only in her forties, let alone the so-called fifty or sixty years old.
Happy birthday.
Moreover, the invitation was only sent out after the two heads of the Xie Mansion, Xie Kang and Mrs. Xie, had left.
Isn't it because Xie Youwei is still young and easy to bully?
If Xie Youwei went to a normal banquet, then Yu Xia must have prepared various means and was waiting for her to jump into the fire pit.
If he doesn't go, the Prime Minister's Mansion may not know how to spread the word to the Xie Mansion.
Xie Youwei looked at the invitation and frowned slightly.
Every word on the invitation seemed to be shaking in front of Xie Youwei's eyes and mocking her, which made Xie Youwei feel irritable.
Chunzhu was on the side, looking at Xie Youwei in a daze.
"Miss Youwei, what difficulties did you encounter?"
Xie Youwei put down the invitation and looked at Chunzhu, with a hesitant expression on his face.
"Aunt Chunzhu, I don't know whether I should go to this banquet."
Saying that, Xie Youwei pushed the invitation in Chunzhu's direction.
Seeing the content on the invitation and the name of the final signer, Chunzhu immediately understood everything.
For a moment, Chunzhu's face also showed some confusion.
Then, Chunzhu spoke hesitantly.
"Otherwise, it's better to reject this post. Our general's office is not afraid of her throwing dirty water on it."
Xie You pursed her lips slightly, as if thinking about the possibility of rejection.
After a long while, Xie Youwei shook his head.
"No, I'll go."
Chun Zhu's eyes widened slightly, and she spoke with some worry.
"Miss Youwei, the Yu family is probably unsettled. Maybe something weird happened..."
Xie Youwei raised his eyebrows.
"Come on, my mother-in-law has been away for a long time. I guess that Yu Xia is waiting for me here. I don't know how many posts will be sent to the Xie Mansion in the future. It's better to resolve it as soon as possible to feel at ease."
Listening to Xie Youwei's words, Chunzhu also showed a look of agreement on his face.
really.
Yu Xia's temperament was restless.
The temperament of Xia Ruochun, the daughter of the Xia family, is exactly like that of her aunt Yu Xia. Both of them are exactly the same, arrogant and domineering.
The Yu Xia family was relatively peaceful when the madam was here before, but now that the madam has gone out, she has started to cause trouble.
There was a bit of disgust on Chunzhu's face.
Xie You raised his lips and smiled.
"Don't worry, Aunt Chunzhu, when the soldiers come, we will just cover it up with water and earth."
Chunzhu looked at Xie Youwei's appearance, his face softened a bit, and he nodded with a smile.
"Miss Youwei has grown up."
Although Xie Youwei was raised in Suzhou, Chunzhu also accompanied Mrs. Xie and watched Xie Youwei grow up little by little from the little boy he was.
Now that I see Xie Youwei has become a big girl who can take charge of her own business, I can't help but feel a little happy.
The gentle murmur melted into the wind and penetrated into Xie Youwei's ears.
Xie Youwei also looked happy and nodded towards Chunzhu.
"Yes, Aunt Chunzhu, don't worry."
After deciding to go, Xie Youwei started to prepare other things.
For example, what kind of birthday gift should I give to the guy with malicious intentions that day?
You have to comply with etiquette, but you can't let that guy take advantage of you.
Xie Youwei can be said to be racking his brains.
While thinking about what was going on there, Xie Youwei was silent about the sword hairpin in his hair, and suddenly recalled in his mind the two hairpins he had retrieved from Yuanyang Hairpin that day and asked Lin Qi to help tie.
I am worried about how to let more people see the hairpins of Yuanyang Hairpin. Isn’t this because if I want to fall asleep, someone will hand me a pillow.
At the birthday banquet, she swung the hairpin up and down two more times.
At this point, Xie Youwei remembered that the mandarin duck hairpin was here.
It’s been several days since I’ve been to Yuanyang Hairpin, so it’s time to find some time to visit.
Xie Youwei thought over and over again and quickly made a decision.
After settling everything in the afternoon, when night fell, Xie Youwei quietly climbed out of the wall again.
Although it is already night, the streets are not deserted at this moment. Vendors with lanterns and stalls can be seen everywhere, and there is a constant stream of people shouting.
Xie Youwei skillfully walked through the stalls and walked straight towards the direction of the mandarin duck hairpin.
Different from the overcrowded scene that Xie Youwei imagined, at this moment, there were still only a few guests in Yuanyang Hairpin.
And those customers didn't seem to want to buy.
Xie Youwei frowned and stepped into the mandarin duck hairpin.
Gao Li saw Xie Youwei coming over at a glance, but she still had to continue dealing with the customers in the store, and she couldn't leave for a while.
After waiting until the end, when the guest stopped talking and left the mandarin duck hairpin, Gao Li came up to him.
Xie Youwei looked at Gao Li, her beautiful eyes filled with doubts.
"Strange? Why is there still no one in Yuanyang Hairpin?"
Gao Li couldn't help but smile.
"It's late at night, and there's no other lady out there picking out jewelry."
This is quite true, most ladies and ladies go out to pick out jewelry in the afternoon or evening. This chapter has been completed!
