Chapter 274 The Sheng Family Banquet (Part [-])
Only then did Xie Xihe think of this matter.
She had seen that set of jewelry before, and it was indeed very valuable.
However, she seldom wears such things as jewelry, so she didn't take it too seriously.
Compared with jewelry, she cared more about the set of Zhi's gold needles.
It is said that it was made by a master craftsman in ancient China. There are 68 needles in total, but because of the long time, they have been scattered to nowhere.
The Huo family sent a total of 63 pieces, all of which were slowly collected later, but the other five pieces disappeared.
Xie Xihe has done some research, and each golden needle of Zhi's Golden Needle has some kind of peculiar pattern drawn on it. She has never seen that kind of pattern, but what is certain is that the effect of this acupuncture treatment is very good.
After trying Zhong Yuxiu twice, she obviously felt that her pulse was much stronger.
Xie Xihe used it quite smoothly.
Xie Bowen didn't wait for his daughter to speak for a long time, so he couldn't help raising his hand to wave in front of her, and asked suspiciously: "What are you thinking?"
Xie Xihe came back to his senses, and said casually, "Got it."
Xie Bowen glanced at her, finally swallowed the reminder, and told her a few more words before giving up.

Thanks to Xie Xihe's acupuncture and panacea, Old Master Sheng recovered from his injuries quite well.
He even felt that the parts of his body that had been aching a lot before were relieved a lot, so his whole body was in good spirits.
One of the reasons why the banquet was held in such a hurry was that the old man's birthday was approaching, and the main purpose was to dispel rumors.
During this period of time, as long as anyone with a heart has noticed the movement of the Sheng family, not only the outside world, but even all the offshoots of the Sheng family are full of speculation and ready to move.
Or it can be said that Mr. Sheng has not recovered from his serious injuries, and he has passed away not long ago.
Or just say that Mr. Sheng is dead, and the Sheng family has become a mess at this moment.
There are even many rumors that the reason why Mr. Sheng was injured and dying was because the Sheng family had unfilial descendants who murdered the Patriarch in order to compete for the next Patriarch.
As for this "unfilial descendant", anyone can guess.
All in all, one word, chaos.
After a few days of raging rumors, the Sheng family found out the source of the rumors, and without further delay, they directly distributed invitations to hold a birthday banquet.
The scale is quite large, and the number of guests invited is also the most in recent years, so on the day of the banquet, only luxury cars and countless people in luxurious clothes can be seen.
Xie Xihe got out of the car holding Mr. Xie's hand, and when he looked up, he saw Xie Tingyuan and Xie Mingzhu father and daughter who got out of the car across the two cars. They looked at each other, and both of them were slightly startled.
Xie Xihe was the first to react, and casually looked away.
Xie Bowen also quickly lost his expression, patted Xie Xihe's hand and led her to the Sheng's house.
It's a pity that some people are not something they can ignore if they want to, and they can avoid them if they want to.
Xie Tingyuan came back to his senses, and hastened his pace to follow, while chasing after him, he raised the volume slightly and shouted: "Dad!"
Immediately, many people looked over, and the people in front of Xie Bowen and Xie Xihe deliberately slowed down, blocking their way.
Xie Xihe narrowed his eyes and glanced at the other person, and recognized him.
But there is no time to talk to them for the time being, because Xie Tingyuan and Xie Mingzhu have already stood in front of them one by one.
Xie Mingzhu wore a mint green slanted-shoulder gauze dress today, with a big bow on the right chest, giving it a just-right sense of playfulness.
The hem of the skirt is dotted with embroidered petals of the same color, and when the tail of the skirt swings, there seems to be a flash of light, which makes her look like an elf in the forest in the early morning, with a refined lightness and beauty.
The makeup is exquisite, and the figure is petite and slender. I think it took a lot of effort to dress up.
Before arriving at Sheng's house, Xie Mingzhu was extremely satisfied with her attire, and felt that even if she couldn't overwhelm the audience, she would be a very eye-catching presence in the audience.
But at this moment, looking at the girl in front of her, the corners of her lips that had been raised were lowered little by little, and she almost couldn't even maintain her smile.
The peach-blossom eyes, which are always sparkling and rippling, have a natural light-colored blush around the eyes, and the eyelashes are extremely long and curled up. When you blink lightly, they are like butterfly wings waving lightly, which has a natural and ethereal beauty.
The facial features are impeccably exquisite and beautiful, the skin is as delicate as jade, and the long hair like a waterfall is slightly curly, hanging casually on the shoulders and back, lazy and casual.
A red waist-length dress that was difficult for ordinary people to control fell on her body. Not only did it not cover up the color at all, but the already beautiful face was dazzling to the extreme!
It is as bright as the rosy glow rising from the east, and as clear as the bright moon among the clouds.
Xie Mingzhu had always known that Xie Xihe was extremely good-looking, but she never thought that Xie Xihe, who was wearing a red dress, could be so beautiful.
For a moment, she couldn't even feel jealous.
Only a deep powerlessness remains.
She pursed her lips tightly and lowered her eyes slightly.
It was also the first time Xie Tingyuan saw Xie Xihe wearing a dress of this color, and he was also stunned for a long time, until Xie Bowen snorted impatiently before he came back to his senses, and shouted again: "Dad."
Immediately continued: "Mingzhu and I went to Shuixi Lanting to pick you up... I came here with Xiaoxi, and I didn't know you had already set off until we got there. Dad, why didn't you wait for us?"
Xie Bowen rolled his eyes in his heart, and said angrily, "Why should I wait for you?"
Xie Tingyuan choked: "Dad..."
Xie Bowen didn't have much patience to deal with them, so he just waved his hands and said, "If you have something to say, let's go aside if you have nothing to do. I didn't see that the people behind are already waiting. How long do you want to block me?"
"That's right, Mr. Xie's family... Oh, no, I heard that the Xie family has separated, so I should call you the head of Xie's family now. What do you mean by standing here? It's almost five o'clock, we all Waiting to go in and attend the banquet!"
"What else could it mean? If it weren't for Mr. Xie, who would know him? Patriarch Xie, why don't we follow along when we finally bump into each other?"
"Hahahahahaha, this Xie family is also very interesting. The old man spared his only son and went out to live with his daughter and grandson. After so many years, this is the first time I've heard of such a thing."
"So how can it be possible to put aside the normal situation? It must be that Uncle Xie has done something outrageous and resentful. The old man can't stand it anymore."
"Everyone said it was Patriarch Xie, why did you still call it Master Xie?"
"..."
The surrounding discussions came to his ears, Xie Tingyuan's face turned blue and red, and finally he could not suppress his temper, and said with a gloomy face: "I am your son, and Mingzhu is your granddaughter. Isn't it true that the whole family goes in and out together?" Anything more normal?"
"It's okay for Dad to be tricked into setting up a household with me and separate our family, and it's okay for me to divorce my mother regardless of the relationship of more than 40 years. Don't you even plan to recognize your own sons and granddaughters?"
His eyes turned to Xie Xihe, and he became even more gloomy: "It is said that my father and doctor are benevolent, but now he can't even tolerate his own flesh and blood relatives. Is this your intention, or is it because of others' instigation?"
