Chapter 15 This Marriage is Really High

"Grandmother..." Yun Xi was very shy, lowering her eyes.

"I have a good one." Mrs. Xie smiled, patted her hand, and motioned her to look at Xu Zhijian, "I watched him grow up since he was a child, and his appearance and temperament are all outstanding. The dignitaries of the Marquis Mansion in Beijing are no match, but they are also from a noble family. Besides, he studied in the academy with your brother Xingzhi, so he knows everything."

"Just now I got through with his mother. See what that means, she is also very satisfied with you. How do you see it?"

Nature is wonderful.

The Xu family is a well-known family. Mr. Xu served as a general at the border in his early years, but later he resigned and returned to his hometown when he was old.Although they have retreated now, how many people in this lord's family have sharpened their heads and wanted to marry his family.

Xu Zhijian is also the eldest son of the family.

This marriage is really a high-flying affair.

"Yu'er listens to her grandmother."

The girl lowered her eyes again, seemingly shy and timid, the most obedient gesture.

After the banquet, the guests did not leave.

Today, Xie Dingfang invited the show for a whole day, thinking that the host and guest will have a good time, so it must be lively and lively.

So the stage under the stage was full of people again.

Mrs. Xie was talking with the wives, and Yunxi accompanied Xie Shuang and several girls of similar age to drink tea and watch a play.

The lords are not idle either. Next to the stage is a water pavilion, with curved water flowing in the cup, reciting poems and composing pairs, which is very pleasant.

Xu Zhijian was not going well today, after drinking a few cups of sake, he sat sideways, shook his head and sighed.

Others laughed at him, "Brother Xu is happy today, so he should drink a few more cups."

The warmth between Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xu was not concealed from the public, and everyone could see it.

Xu Zhijian also laughed, "I said why all the wine cups stopped in front of me today, it turned out that you guys teamed up to bully me."

Then he turned his head and pulled Xie Heng up, "Xingzhi, you are the master today, you have to help me."

Xie Heng also drank two cups, resting his hand on the table, shaking the cup with the other hand.

Hearing the words, he raised his eyes slightly, only raised the wine cup in his hand, but smiled without saying a word.

Everyone laughed, "That's all, it's our fault that brother-in-law protects sister-in-law, so don't throw us out."

This end is lively and lively, and the stage under the other end is similar.

Just halfway through the play on the stage, the girls' minds became active.For a while, Tuan Fan covered his lips and whispered, and for a while, he looked at Yun Xi with an ambiguous smile.

"What do you guys always watch me do when you're not watching the show?" Yunxi was a little annoyed.

The girls pursed their lips and smiled, "Of course it's because of how good-looking our little sister Yuan is. How can she become even more beautiful in just a few days?"

This is what Mrs. Xu praised her before, but she asked them to arrange it directly.

"Okay, laugh at me now, it won't happen to you in the future, so don't blame me for embarrassing you." Yun Xi bit her lip and stopped back, half ashamed and half annoyed on her porcelain white face.

Everyone laughed and coaxed her again, "Sister, don't be angry, today is a good day for my sister."

Half of every sentence was embarrassing her, and Yunxi became more and more annoyed, so she got up suddenly and wanted to leave the table.

It just so happened that the servant girl passed by with water and wine and bumped into her arms.

Wine pots and wine cups were spilled all over the ground, and the girl's skirt was completely wet.

The servant girl was terrified, and hurriedly knelt down to beg for mercy, "It's a slave girl who missed a moment, please punish me."

"It's okay, I just got up in a hurry." Yun Xi was always forgiving to the people below, "Hurry up and pack up, I'll go to the backyard and change my clothes."
