I would rather be a farmer's wife after rebirth

Chapter 244

Xie Changqing came to the White House with his father, he didn't know Bai Duoer, the host of today's banquet, and he had never even met her.

Since he was a child, he roamed around many banquets in the capital, and most of the nobles of the same generation in the capital, whether male or female, had met face-to-face, and some of them had even become very acquainted, but for Bai Duo'er, he only heard about it. His name is unknown.

I heard from friends in the circle that this person is very withdrawn and never likes to play with everyone. Naturally, he rarely goes to banquets, and his temper is very violent, which makes people unpredictable.

There are actually people who come to such a person's birthday party, and there are quite a few of them. Xie Changqing can't help admiring the contacts his father Bai Zhan has accumulated in the capital.

However, because of this, the lobby was filled with the sound of adults talking and talking, and there was less of the atmosphere of children playing around. It seemed that Xie Changqing was out of breath, so he sneaked into the Play in the back garden.

I didn't expect to meet someone, she is still a small beauty, Xie Changqing couldn't help but go forward to talk to her.

Bai Duo'er stared at him, and wanted to reach out to catch the duck, but she stretched out her hand in mid-air and abruptly retracted it, hiding it in her sleeve.

"Why?" Why did you give it to me?
Her voice trembled a little.Except for her brother, she rarely talked to boys her own age, and he was such a handsome boy.

Xie Changqing scratched the back of his head, thinking to himself, what's the point of asking why?But he still replied honestly: "Well, because you are good-looking, haha!"

Bai Duo'er's cheeks turned red to the base of her ears, and her breath became flustered—is this person teasing her?
"Teacher, frivolous!" Bai Duo'er scolded, she snatched the duck from Xie Changqing's arms, but she didn't expect the weight of the duck to fall into her arms, causing her to stumble. Staggered, almost fell into the pool.

Xie Changqing worriedly stepped forward to help her, but unexpectedly, he put his hand on her chest in such a chaotic situation, causing the little beauty to scream and curse again, and this time he stretched out his hand to make him "slap" ring.

"Hey, hey, don't slap your face, don't slap your face!" He wailed and howled, while circling around to dodge the girl's attack, and finally threw her some distance away, hiding under the rose trellis trembling.

Damn, this girl looks weak and weak, she can't even hold a fat duck, why does it hurt so much when she hits someone!

He saw the girl standing not far away and staring at him through the rose bushes, still holding the duck in her hand. For some reason, the duck was not as noisy as before. It lay obediently in the girl's arms, under the blue light, It's like a beautiful painting.

By coincidence, he didn't know where the courage came from, and suddenly shouted: "Hey, if you despise my frivolity, give me back the duck!"

When he said it, he regretted it a little. He provoked this girl like this, so he wouldn't be beaten to death by her, right?Or, would she really return the duck to herself?But that was not what Xie Changqing wanted.

Fortunately, the girl just glanced at it from afar, then hugged the fat duck and left without saying a word.After Xie Changqing was sure that the girl's back had disappeared in the back garden, he let out a long breath, and sat on the mud floor along the rose trellis, staring at the sky in a daze.

After an unknown amount of time, he heard someone calling, probably the servant he had brought.

"Xie Shizi, Xie Shizi... Oh, I found you. The dinner party is about to start. Follow this old slave to the front. Lord Changning is going to die of anxiety."

Xie Changqing came back to his senses, he patted the dirt on his clothes, and said expressionlessly: "Got it." Before leaving, he looked back at the calm lake, and there were a few ducks frolicking and playing. .

"Master, do you still keep the things that the master told you to keep on your body? I have to give them to Miss Bai later, but don't forget." The servant asked again worried.

Unexpectedly, Xie Changqing replied without hesitation: "What? That jade pendant? I didn't bring it."

The family member was shocked on the spot as if being struck by five thunders. If the person in front of him was not the noble son of the Changning Duke Mansion, but his son or subordinate, he would have kicked the person who kicked him upside down.Hey, what are you talking about?

But he held back anyway, "Master, you didn't lie to this old slave, did you? Really didn't bring it?"

"No," Xie Changqing said righteously, as if he was talking about something serious, he glanced at the servant, who had a look of despair, and sneered, "I'm surprised, didn't we already follow the etiquette before entering the house?" I sent one, why do I want to send another one in private? I don’t know her, so don’t you think it’s strange to suddenly run in front of her to deliver something? Anyway, I’m not going.”

When he said this, the prince seemed to have completely forgotten that he had just given something to a little beauty whom he met for the first time.

Jia Ding has long been accustomed to the son's strange rhetoric, beat his chest and feet in anger, and repeatedly cried: "What can I do, what should I do!"

Xie Changqing was too lazy to leave him, so he went straight to the table.

In fact, he didn't wear that jade pendant on purpose.How could a dude like him who wandered around various banquets since he was a child not understand the traditional customs of the capital?For this kind of birthday party, in addition to the big gifts on the surface before the entrance, the children will also give small gifts that are personal to them in private when the dinner party starts.

The big gift on the bright side needs to be luxurious and decent. After all, the gift list has to be read aloud in front of all the guests, highlighting the status of each family, and there is a feeling of showing off and comparing power.However, among them, some families are used to making publicity, while others are quite low-key, which is another matter.

But the small gifts in private do not need to be so particular, most of them are what the other party really likes, for example, girls love kits and jewelry, boys like machetes, bows and arrows, etc.

In fact, at this time, if you are not familiar with the relationship, you don’t need to give it. After all, the gift for the scene is already on the gift list, but since then, everyone has to prepare another one regardless of their relationship.

Xie Changqing hated this inexplicable "traditional" habit, so he deliberately refused to fulfill it. If he really got on good terms with him, he would give it away. If it was like Bai Duo'er, he didn't even bother to prepare.

"Hey, Xie Shizi is here!" As soon as he appeared, many people greeted him, which showed that he was very popular in the capital.

A young master hugged him and joked, "I don't know what gift Mr. Xie prepared this time?"

Before the dinner starts, everyone will get together to chat, and mostly share the gifts they want to give to birthday stars.Xie Changqing is the most emotional person, and he has always disliked those hypocritical ostentations, so as long as he is willing to give it away, it must be painstaking and will often attract everyone's praise.

"No." He said blankly, sat down, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
