Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 680

The birthday banquet was very lively. The Xue family invited the stage troupe of Du Daban, which has always been praised in Hui County, to sing on the stage, and because there were several officials and lords who could not be seen normally, they were seated at the main seat. Emotions have been running high.

When Li Xin returned to the table, Mrs. Xun asked her with concern: "Why have you been away for so long? Your daughter is crying to find you."

Yoyo's eyes are bright and gleaming, just looking at it, she knows that she has been washed by tears just now.

Li Xin smiled and said: "No, I lost my way when I came back, and I walked around with Qing Yabai before I found someone to ask the way back. There are too many people in Xue's residence today, so there must be not enough people."

Mrs. Xun nodded and said, "That's right, they are all following the important person in front to show their courtesy."

Mrs. Xun didn't mean to be contemptuous when she said this, but the nephew and daughter-in-law beside her said with a smile: "Mrs. Guan was not there just now, but I didn't see it. There are several elders in the chair over there." What about pretty girls. Mrs. Xue was very enthusiastic, and invited those wives and wives with daughters to take their seats. When the maids were seated, they couldn’t move their eyes away when they fell on those girls.”

Li Xin has already confirmed from Luo Shi that Mrs. Xue is indeed showing Xue Qianxiang about the second room. Now, Mrs. Xun and her nephew and daughter-in-law speculate whether the Xue family will have a wedding soon, so they also He just hooked his lips and smiled.

The thing is true, but I don't know if this happy event can be done as expected.

A series of cold dishes, hot dishes, soups, snacks, and meat and vegetable dishes were all served on the table, and Mrs. Xun and the others were silent, and began to use them slowly.From time to time, someone raised a glass to invite wine, and Li Xin took a sip of tea as a response.

Youyou's teeth are not good enough, and she can't eat everything when faced with a table full of delicacies, but she also eats happily, her small mouth is covered with oil, shiny, and she looks at Li Xin and smiles with moon eyes.

Mrs. Xun liked it so much, she put down her chopsticks and teased Youyou and said, "Youyou is so cute, take it back and be my daughter, okay?"

Youyou hurriedly shook her little head vigorously, and said childishly, "Yuyou, ma'am..."

Li Xin covered her mouth with a smile and said, "It's her luck that my wife likes her."

Mrs. Xun smiled, and said, "She's tired of you. My daughter is just a little padded jacket. With her clinging to you, your heart will be warm."

After drinking and eating, the table was also withdrawn one after another, and the female guests gathered around to chat.Several well-dressed ladies and wives surrounded Mrs. Xue and came over, and everyone hurriedly got up to say hello to Mrs. Xue.

The old lady Xue looked in good spirits, and said: "This is my birthday, I am grateful to all the wives and wives for coming to support me."

"What is the old lady talking about, it is our honor to come to the house to celebrate the old lady's birthday." Ziyou said with good eyesight.

Mrs. Xue brought a girl by her side, and Li Xin looked at the girl for a while, and felt that she looked a bit imposing on the outside, with a heroic spirit hidden between her browbones.Goodbye, old lady Xue took her by her side, she seemed to value her very much, so she thought that this might be the daughter of the general manager that Luo Shi was talking about.

Mrs. Xue took the main seat and asked all the female guests to sit down accordingly.The wives and wives who surrounded her naturally sat closest to Mrs. Xue.

All the female guests are also very familiar with the communication on the lady's field. After a while, they started talking with each other.Those who are shy and talk less will sit on the side and be a loyal listener.Li Xin also belonged to the type who didn't speak. He sat upright on a chair, lowered his eyebrows and listened to the female guests.

I don't know which ignorant person said: "Old lady, why didn't you see Aunt Luo waiting by your side?"

The old lady Xue's face froze suddenly, looking a little annoyed, but as the host of the banquet, she couldn't get angry with the guests.The corner of her mouth twitched slightly, and the old lady Xue said: "In these days, she naturally cannot walk around in front."

But the man said curiously: "But Second Miss didn't show up to congratulate the old lady on her birthday."

The old lady Xue's face sank: "She is a little girl in Zongjiao, even if she celebrates her birthday, she won't go to the front." Her tone was a little harsh, and the person who spoke suddenly became embarrassing.

The atmosphere cooled down slightly.

With the old lady saying this, it seems that Luo Shi is really struggling in the Xue residence...

Li Xin looked up at Mrs. Xue, and saw that her silver and black intertwined hair was meticulously coiled, and a woven flower inlaid forehead was tightly attached to her forehead. The clothes on her body had a dark red tone, adding The black piping is very dignified and atmospheric, with the momentum of an old lady who is in charge of a wealthy family.At this time, her serious face gave her a touch of majesty.

In contrast, the heroic girl next to her is about eighteen or nineteen years old, with sharp eyebrows and aggressive eyes. She is an upright girl who stays beside Mrs. Xue, but she is not inferior to Mrs. Xue. Mrs. cent.

Judging from the action of Mrs. Xue holding the girl's hand, Mrs. Xue is very fond of this girl.

Seeing some silence, the wife who is good at adjusting the atmosphere came forward to find another topic.Coincidentally, the topic happened to be on the girl next to Mrs. Xue.

"The people around the old lady are so enviable. I wonder if this girl is a relative of the old lady?"

Only then did Mrs. Xue's complexion soften a little, she took the girl's hand and introduced with a smile: "This is Mr. Jiang's daughter. She hasn't shown her face here before. It's normal that everyone doesn't know her."

"It turned out to be Miss Jiang...Look at my stupid eyes, I'm really rude."

Everyone greeted Miss Jiang one after another.

The reason to be polite to Miss Jiang is because she is the daughter of the general manager.

The position of chief officer is not considered high, but he is only a seventh-rank military officer, but he has real power, has soldiers in his hands, and is in charge of local military affairs.As the saying goes, a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake, and no one dares to offend such a character.Miss Jiang seldom appeared in the sight of everyone, and now that she saw her, the etiquette was naturally indispensable.After all, no one knew about Miss Jiang's character, but seeing that she came from a military family, she might be able to play tricks twice.

Miss Jiang's attitude is very cold, and her temper is also very arrogant. When everyone greets her, she just nods and seldom responds with a word.Seeing her attitude, everyone's enthusiasm for getting close to her has been reduced, and the topic has gradually been brought back to Mrs. Xue.

What the old people want is nothing more than to strive for the success of their children and grandchildren.Mr. Xue is older, not much different from the ages of many wives and wives present, besides, it is not easy for the female relatives to talk about the male master in other people's houses, so as they talked, the topic came to Mrs. Xue's only His grandson, Xue Qingyan.

"Master Xue is such a talented person!" A lady exclaimed: "When I entered the mansion with my master, I saw Master Xue welcoming guests at the door, and my master praised him for his outstanding youth and extraordinary bearing. He also said that he would With such a son, he would wake up laughing when he fell asleep. I also envy you, the old lady, and I have to ask the old lady for a lesson, how did you teach such a good grandson?"

Hearing people praise Xue Qingyan, the old lady Xue naturally smiled from ear to ear, but she still said modestly: "Thank you, he is still young at the moment, so he can see that much."

Mrs. Xun also joined the topic, covered her mouth and joked: "The old lady is right, Young Master Xue is probably fifteen or sixteen years old. In two years, he will be able to marry and have children, and give the old lady a great-grandson."

The old lady Xue smiled immediately: "Look at what you said, Qingyan is still young, the false age is sixteen, but the real age is just over fourteen."

"Yo, it's already fourteen, we have to hurry up and make arrangements." Another person interjected: "The old lady will show Young Master Xue the girl from now on, and make a marriage arrangement early. When Young Master Xue gets married, you will Waiting to hold a great-grandson!"

When it comes to topics like marriage and offspring, women can't stop talking.On this topic, everyone began to chat, and the atmosphere finally turned around.

Because Mrs. Xun was pulling Li Xin, Li Xin didn't sit in the corner, and sat next to Mrs. Xun, which was regarded as an inner seat.She seldom speaks, and it is inevitable that she will attract the attention of others.

"Why doesn't Mrs. Guan talk?" A lady laughed and said, "Madam Guan should say a few words too."

Li Xin said with a smile: "I am very happy to hear what you ladies are talking about."

Mrs. Xue also looked towards Li Xin.

It was Miss Jiang who looked at Li Xin carefully, and said, "This lady looks at Mian Shan."

"It seems that I have seen it somewhere..." Mrs. Xue also frowned slightly thinking.

Li Xin sighed, and said with a smile: "My face is what the big guys call the public face. It looks like everyone, but it's not like anyone."

Mrs. Xun patted Li Xin lightly, and said with a smile, "Whoever looks at you looks like anyone else?"

Li Xin pretended to be surprised: "Didn't you just say that I look like your sister?"

Everyone burst into laughter, and Mrs. Xun was also overjoyed, and said to Mrs. Xue: "Old lady, she is just a monkey. She is very shy on weekdays. Whenever she tells a joke, it will make people laugh from ear to ear." .”

The old lady Xue looked at Li Xin carefully, and said: "Look at this lady's appearance, she is pregnant. It's really an old man, why did you ask Madam to come here with your pregnant body to celebrate my birthday?"

Li Xin hurriedly said: "The old lady doesn't need to worry about it. I am strong and I like to join in the fun. Besides, the old lady's birthday, those of us who are juniors, come to congratulate from now on, and we are also blessed by the old lady. "

What she said made Mrs. Xue nod her head again and again.

After a while, a servant girl came to report that Master Xue came to greet the old lady.

Mrs. Xue hurriedly sat up and asked someone to invite him in.

Although Xue Qingyan is half a child, he has no scruples in front of these wives and wives who are considered to be his aunts. He walked in pompously, first greeted the old lady honestly, and then greeted Miss Jiang. I gave a full gift.Miss Jiang returned a half salute to him.

This move immediately made all the ladies present whisper in their hearts.
