Chapter 45

So I went to beg Xie Jue again.

He decided to marry himself because he completely stopped thinking about Yunxi, but he still smiled reluctantly, "Third sister asked the wrong person, I can't control it."

"Okay, none of you will help me." Xie Shuang pouted and snorted, "I'll go find Brother Xu, he will definitely make the decision for me."

As he said that, he wanted to leave, but he turned back before he reached the door.

"Brother Xu won't help me, he must be helping sister Yuan."

She wailed, finally figured this out, and completely resigned herself to her fate.

Everyone present laughed.

It's just that except for Mrs. Xie, most of the smiles didn't reach the eyes, or they were gloomy, or depressed, or indifferent.

A family, how much thought.

Two days later is the New Year's Eve.

The Xie Mansion offered sacrifices to the ancestral hall and held a feast of acacia.There were noisy voices, chatter and laughter, and firecrackers were on fire for several days.

When the fireworks were set off, Mrs. Xie smiled and hugged the two little girls, Yun Xi and Xie Shuang, into her arms, but Yun Xi took advantage of Xie Shuang's unguardedness and quietly broke her hand covering her ears, so that she would notice , stretched out his hand and scratched it back.

The sky is full of fireworks, the sound is retorted, and the girls are playing and playing, lively and bright, laughing together.

Inadvertently looking back, I looked into the eyes that Mr. Wang was looking at.

The four eyes met, and he watched her quietly for an unknown how long.

In the eyes that were gentle and warm in the past, they were all cold, obscure and difficult to see clearly.

What is he thinking?Yunxi thought.

So he lowered his eyes and gradually stopped smiling.

In a blink of an eye, the New Year's Eve has passed, and the day for Xu Zhijian to go to Beijing has also been set.

Before leaving, he invited the brothers and sisters Xie Heng to get together and hold a banquet at Yanqi Tower.

There was a lot of drinking and drinking at the banquet this day.

Xie Shuang remembered being teased by Yun Xi the day before yesterday, her heart was full of resentment, and she vowed to make it up for her future son-in-law.

So cups of wine were handed to Xu Zhijian, even a god would be hard to beat.

He couldn't stand it anymore and kept begging for mercy.

Xie Shuang refused, and saw that Yunxi was quiet at the table, just burying her head and eating vegetables with her chopsticks, without stopping her, she became more and more proud to ask him to drink.

"It's really too bad, Sister Shuang, please forgive me."

Xu Zhijian smiled and pushed the wine cup back, and raised her hand to call for the wine soup. After drinking a bowl, she still felt unwell, so she left the table, leaning on the railing to blow off the alcohol.

Only then did Xie Shuang calm down, took a chopstick of chicken marrow and bamboo shoots and put them in Yunxi's bowl, whispering, "Why is my sister silent all the time, but you are angry because I poured brother Xu wine?"

"Why are you angry?" She held her chopsticks and ate the chicken marrow shoots. "My sister vented her anger for me. I'm too happy to be happy. How can I be angry?"

"What's the matter?" Xie Shuang was confused and asked her again.

Yun Xi put her chopsticks on her chopsticks and looked at her with calm eyes, "Didn't my sister say that before? If I found an opportunity secretly, I would definitely vent my anger on me and never let me suffer wronged in vain."

"Ah..." Xie Shuang finally remembered, "Yes, it's for my sister."

She was vague and confused.She only thought in her heart that it happened more than 800 years ago, and she had already forgotten it, but it was hard for her younger sister to still remember it in her heart, thinking about it to this day.

Fortunately, Yunxi didn't delve into it.

She was greedy just now, and she ate a lot of fried fresh anchovies, her lips and teeth smelled delicious when she ate it, but afterward, her mouth smelled fishy, ​​and she lost her appetite for a while, so she only sipped a small piece of jujube paste yam cake and ate it in small bites.

Seeing her, Xie Heng pushed a small bowl of sugar-steamed shortbread in front of her, "The yam cake is too greasy, my sister just ate it. This shortbread is made of milk, so it's refreshing."
