Four hundred and twentieth eight chapters dip (two)
Xie Lanxi and her hairpin ceremony are approaching, and Xu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are busy preparing for the hairpin ceremony.
Princess Yongning had known about the goings-on in the palace, but she had ignored it and remained indifferent. She only waited for Mrs. Xu to come to her door to ask for help.
The second wife of the Xie family is both white. After three years in the capital, the Xie family's reputation has allowed them to make friends with some female relatives. However, in terms of status, no one can surpass her as the princess.
For Xie Lanxi's hairpin ceremony, she is the best candidate for the guest of honor.
Princess Yongning has no interest in being an official guest.
However, she was happy to see that hateful and despicable Mrs. Xu bend her back and bow her head. When the time comes, she would definitely act like a princess, severely humiliate Mrs. Xu, and vent her anger.
But he didn't expect that even after waiting and waiting, Mrs. Xu would not bow down.
Three days before Xie Lanxi and her hairpin ceremony, Princess Yongning finally couldn't bear it anymore. In front of Mr. Xie Jun and his son, she pretended to casually ask Mrs. Xu: "There are still three days before Lanxi's hairpin ceremony. Everything can be done.
Are you all ready?"
Mrs. Xu held it in for a few days, waiting for this moment, and immediately smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Princess Lao, is thinking about it. Ming Niang has already invited Chief Gu to be the guest of honor on our behalf."
"Hey, you think this Mr. Gu is so noble! He is willing to condescend to be the guest of honor for our Lan Niang. This is all for Ming Niang's sake."
"Hey, we have really benefited from Ming Niang's favor!"
Princess Yongning: "..."
Princess Yongning was offended by these two "Oh!" and was deeply annoyed that she was too talkative and meddlesome.
If you fail to get slapped in the face, you will be slapped in the face instead.
This is embarrassing!
Princess Yongning was upset and said with a cold face: "I'm a little tired, so I'll go back to Yonghe Hall first." After saying that, he stood up and left.
…
Princess Yongning has never taken her parents-in-law seriously.
Even though I lived in Xie's Mansion, I didn't see any respect. I came when I wanted to come and left when I wanted to, never caring about anyone's appearance.
Mr. Xie was angry at first, but now he's used to it. He curled his lips and said something sarcastic: "It's a good thing that we invited Chief Gu Shan as the guest of honor, otherwise, who would be able to invite the princess."
Xie Jun: "..."
As a father, let’s save some face for our son!
Xie Jun coughed and changed the topic: "Lanniang got her haircut this year, next year it will be Yunniang's turn."
Xie Yunxi's birthday falls on the first lunar month. It has arrived just over a year later.
Mrs. Xu said quickly: "My old lady has an upright temperament and speaks her words directly. The princess has to take care of the matter of Yun Niang and the hairpin. I, an old woman, don't dare to talk too much, lest I make the princess unhappy."
Mrs. Xu is a bit vulgar, but she is a good housekeeper. In the past three years, she has taken care of the Xie family's inner house in order.
Princess Yongning brought the Xie Yuanting brothers and sisters back to live in Xie's Mansion. At first, Mrs. Xu was worried that Princess Yongning would "seize power." Later, she discovered that Princess Yongning, who had a generous dowry, did not take the Xie Mansion's family fortune into consideration at all.
I was relieved.
Princess Yongning doesn't care about the oil and gas in the inner house, but she does.
Xie Jun also knew Princess Yongning's temper, so he nodded and said, "That's fine. I will discuss this matter with the princess, so I won't bother my mother."
Mr. Xie suddenly said: "Yuan Ting is almost eighteen years old!"
…
Isn't it?
Xie Yuanting is already seventeen this year. In just over a month, he will be eighteen.
When Xie Yuanting was mentioned, Xie Jun frowned reflexively: "Why did father suddenly mention Yuanting?"
Xie Yuanting studied in the New Confucian Academy for several years and graduated this year. However, Xie Yuanting had already abandoned his studies and made friends with a few libertines who liked to eat, drink and have fun. He often sneaked out of the academy. After a few words of questioning, Yongning County
The Lord stepped forward to protect him.
Xie Jun wished he had never had this son and just ignored him.
"No matter how incompetent he is, he will still be your eldest son." Mr. Xie glared at Xie Jun: "If he doesn't succeed in studying, just arrange a marriage for him and marry him back with a wife. Let him live a peaceful life."
When Xie Jun heard this, he felt even more headache: "With his appearance, who would be willing to marry their daughter to him?"
Xie Jun is a fourth-grade official, and his work at Honglu Temple is very leisurely. The most talked about thing is that he married the princess of Yongning. In recent years, Xie Mingxi has become quite popular.
However, when it comes to the Xie family's financial background, it is quite shabby when viewed in the capital city.
Xie Yuanting had a handsome face, but he was born as a concubine. His studies were neglected, his character was bad, and his reputation was really bad. Xie Jun shamelessly tried to find out the opinions of one or two of his colleagues, but they were all blocked.
If you want to find a marriage partner, you can only look for low-level officials.
Xie Jun himself was born in a poor family, married a princess with splendor, and was considered a sure winner in life in the eyes of outsiders. Now how can he not be annoyed when he sees his son's moral character that cannot be supported by the mud?
"It doesn't matter if you have a lower family status." Mr. Xie urged: "It's shameful to keep delaying it like this."
Xie Jun frowned and responded.
…
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Chief Gu Shan was the guest of honor, and Xie Mingxi was the guest of praise. Mrs. Yang came with her daughter Yang Ningxue, and Mrs. Ji's wife Su also came hand in hand. Xie Mingxi's good friend Lin Weiwei and Fang Ruomeng all came to watch the ceremony.
In addition to the relatives of the Xie family and the female relatives who interact with each other on weekdays, Xie Lanxi's hairpin ceremony was held in a lively manner.
Xie Lanxi studied with Master Yang for several years, and she has a bookish air. Although she is not a stunning beauty, she is elegant and dignified, with a soft voice and a gentle smile, which makes people like her.
It is nothing for the second wife of the Xie family to live in the family of the first family member. Nowadays, it is common for families to live together. However, Xie Lanxi's biological father is white and does not even have the reputation of being a scholar.
However, Xie Mingxi and Xie Lanxi are such close friends. If you marry Xie Lanxi, you will be able to become a royal relative, and it will be logical for you to travel with the Seventh Prince's Mansion in the future...
It is not suitable to be the wife of a legitimate son in the family, but it is also suitable to be the daughter-in-law of a concubine.
Some officials' female relatives were interested and inquired about Xie Lanxi's marriage.
Mrs. Xu all responded with a smile: "Lanniang is still young, we still want to keep her for two more years."
In other words, there was no engagement. The official female family member knew this clearly, so she didn't ask any more questions in person, and looked at Xie Lanxi again calmly.
Xie Lanxi looked a little embarrassed.
Xie Mingxi was quite considerate and leaned over quietly, shielding her from the women's somewhat explicit looks.
Xie Lanxi glanced at Xie Mingxi gratefully and said softly: "Thank you very much."
Xie Mingxi smiled faintly, said nothing in front of everyone, and just held Xie Lanxi's hand.
Everyone is snobbish.
Her closeness to Xie Lanxi will undoubtedly add a lot of weight to Xie Lanxi. Since Mrs. Xu has placed all the bets on her, she does not hesitate to support him a little.
After the luncheon, the female relatives who came to watch the ceremony said their goodbyes one by one.
Master Yang came to Xie Mingxi anxiously: "Mingxi, Ningxue is missing!"
Yang Ningxue? She has been with Master Yang all the time, how come she disappeared?
