Bestow glory to the king

Chapter 71
The birthday banquet of the old matriarch of the Duke's Mansion was held happily and bustlingly.

When eating at noon, Xie Mo took a look at the old lady. She and the old lady Xing of the Hou Mansion are indeed sisters, and their eyebrows are a bit similar. Xing looks more serious, and the old lady looks kind. One point, it can be seen that the children and grandchildren should be very filial on weekdays, so she has no worries.

The banquets of big families are also very particular, and it is also a rule for men and women to avoid suspicion. Occasionally, a few male guests will come to the back hall to toast, and they will leave after the toast, and they will not stay for a while.

Xie Yu thought that the master, Shen Xi, would follow Shen Ye, but who knew, when Shen Ye came, he was the only one, and Shen Xi didn't show up, and the old lady seemed to be used to this kind of situation, as if there was no grandson who didn't come It's sad to congratulate her on her birthday.

After dinner, it was rare for Mrs. Yun to be called to play cards by Mrs. Sun. Xie Shen and Xie Mu sat at the window with a few ladies and played luozi. Pretty, but it doesn't arouse her interest.

At this moment, Xie Heng and Xie Yu came in with smiles on their faces, looked around, and then walked towards them. Behind them were two girls who had never seen each other before. Xie Heng and Xie Yu compared When I went out in the morning, I had a white jade hairpin on my head and a pair of jadeite bracelets on my wrists. I guess they were rewarded by the old lady.

"We made an appointment to go boating on the lake together, are you going?"

Xie Heng has a lively personality, it is difficult for Xie Xin to sit for an afternoon like Xie Xin, and then offered to go boating on the lake. Xie Xin asked the other girls what they meant, and everyone expressed their interest. went together.

Xie Heng glanced at Xie Shen, his eyes seemed to be mixed with very complicated emotions, Xie Wei didn't like her at all, so he didn't want to guess the meaning of her gaze at this time, he just followed Xie Xin and rushed to the lake together.

The boating on the lake that Xie Heng mentioned was actually in the lake area where Xie Yu played the piano in the morning, and the two girls who came with them earlier were the girls from the second and third rooms of the Shen family, and the older one was named Shen Qing, this year is fourteen, the younger one is called Shen Yun, who is about the same age as Xie Mo, and she is also very beautiful and juicy, but in my conscience, the rest of the Shen family are really not as good looking as Shen Xi, even for their noble spirit. Others can't be flattered.

However, the appearance of Shen Qing and Shen Yun was undoubtedly a stimulus to all the girls. Everyone let go of their reservedness, stayed true to their line of business, and began to ask about the Shen family. With a sense of arrogance, let's not talk about the high status of the two of them, except for the princesses who can overwhelm them, which of these ladies from the mansions of princes and generals can surpass their girls from the Shen family?
Arrogance is certain, and there is no lack of superiority in words, coupled with the deliberate flattery and befriending of the girls around, they even exalted the two people's attitudes, speaking to everyone as if they were breathing out of their nostrils, even so, The two are still the most admired characters among this group of girls.

Because the girls wanted to go boating, the servants of the Shen family had already prepared a boat, and pre-ordered three boats according to the allocation of four people in one boat. Xie Meng originally wanted to go on the boat with Xie Shen, but in an instant, Everyone got on the boat, and there was only one place left on each of the two boats.Xie Heng, Xie Yu, and Shen Qing were sitting in the same boat. Xie Shen looked at Xie Mo and knew that she didn't want to sit in the same boat with Xie Heng and the others, so she asked Xie Mo to take the other boat and went to Xie Heng and the others by themselves. The boat goes.
