Chapter 37 Birthday Banquet
The next morning, when Xie Chen got up, he changed into the apricot-colored sakura-red double-breasted gauze dress that he had prepared long ago. Underneath was a moon-white water-pattern Lingbo skirt that dragged the floor. It was embroidered with simple fancy patterns, which did not overwhelm the guests and let him What people noticed was Xie Chen's pretty face. Although he was wearing red, he didn't have a bit of kitsch, like a fairy in the nine heavens.

Unlike the willow-leaf eyebrows that are pursued by noble girls in the capital, which are weak and weak, Xie Chen's distant mountain eyebrows add a touch of brilliance to himself.

Xie Chen brought Yinhuan and Jinzhi to the front hall. Last night, Xie Chen asked the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion to arrange the venue for the birthday banquet in advance.

The male and female guests are separated by a curtain, and after the banquet, the maids will guide them to the back garden to enjoy the flowers and drink tea, while the male guests can drink and talk freely in the front hall.

After Xie Chen arrived, he explained some details to the servants, and saw that Prime Minister Xie came with Xie Wan and Aunt Jing.

Because the banquet held by Xie's residence is a happy event, the dress Xie Wan wears is apricot with pink in it. The color is very similar to Xie Chen's, but it does not look exquisite without Xie Chen, not to mention that Xie Chen's dress is from Jinyifang The best embroiderer's hand, just the difference in skin color and appearance between Xie Wan and Xie Chen, if they stand together, they will be judged.

Xie Wan's face was a bit ugly.

"Father." Xie Chen saw Prime Minister Xie approaching, and saluted him.

Prime Minister Xie looked around the main hall, his eyes overflowed with admiration, looked at Xie Chen and said in a rare way: "Well done."

Some surprises appeared on Xie Chen's face at the right time, and he said to Prime Minister Xie, "Thank you for your father's praise. My daughter will definitely work hard in the future and not let my father worry about it."

Aunt Jing's eyes changed when she heard Xie Cheng's compliment to Xie Chen, but she said to Xie Chen with a smile on her face: "Chen'er is really smart, this birthday party is better than Auntie's before."

Aunt Jing is wearing dark green clothes today, with luxurious gold ornaments on her head, and the jade bracelets that are faintly exposed on her wrists can be seen to be in excellent condition, she really looks like a housewife.

"Thank you Auntie for your compliment. Mother was away early, and there is no hostess in the house. Naturally, Chen'er wants to provide more snacks." Xie Chen said to Aunt Jing's smiling face, emphasizing the word "Auntie".

Aunt Jing's smile froze on her face. It's not that she doesn't want to be the wife of Xie's house, and it's not that Prime Minister Xie doesn't want her to be. It's just that Mrs. Xie is standing there, saying that Princess Yuning is the only daughter-in-law in this life. If the prime minister dared to set up the main house again, she would sever ties with him.

Prime Minister Xie is the prime minister of the current dynasty, and is also an example for all the officials. How dare you do something against your elders. In order not to be labeled as unfilial, Prime Minister Xie can only agree. After wronging Aunt Jing, she is still just an aunt in the end .

While talking, Aunt Lan brought Xie Han over. Aunt Lan was dressed elegantly, but a little more delicate than usual. The blue clothes looked as gentle as water, and she looked at Xie Chen with a gentle smile on her face. meaning.

"Father." "Master." The two saluted Prime Minister Xie back and forth.

Looking at Aunt Lan in front of him, Prime Minister Xie couldn't help remembering that when she first entered the mansion, she had a little more expression on her face, and seeing Xie Han's obedient and sensible look next to her, there was a little smile in her eyes.

"Well, you don't need to be too polite." Prime Minister Xie said, and helped Aunt Lan up herself.

This made the jealousy in Aunt Jing's eyes more obvious, and she hoped that this child of hers would be a son who would inherit everything from Prime Minister Xie in the future.

"Where's your grandmother?" Prime Minister Xie asked Xie Chen.

Xie Chen looked at Prime Minister Xie, stepped forward and replied: "When Chen'er went to invite grandma this morning, she saw that the grandmother was not feeling well, so she didn't make grandma work hard to participate. Chen'er has already told someone to take care of her from time to time, and arranged for someone to take care of her. Take care, after the dinner, Chen'er will go there in person."

Listening to Xie Chen's answer, Prime Minister Xie said, "Well, you have a heart."

Xie Chen smiled back and said nothing more.

Some people arrived one after another in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Prime Minister Xie took Xie Han to welcome them in front, while Xie Chen and the female relatives received them in the mansion. The scene was very lively.

"Sister Chen." "Thank you Chen."

Two voices appeared behind Xie Chen at the same time. Xie Chen turned around and saw Shen Yuzhi and Cheng Ying walking towards her together. She asked, "You two, came together?" Why did two enemies appear together.

Before Shen Yuzhi could speak, Cheng Ying took the first step and said, "Who came with him? He didn't read the almanac when he went out, so we met at the door."

As soon as Cheng Ying said this, Shen Yuzhi paused with his hand shaking the fan, and then a smile appeared on his face. He ignored Cheng Ying, but said to Xie Chen: "Sister Chen, how can you treat this person on such a beautiful day? Come here too."

"Shen Yuzhi, what are you talking about? Tell me clearly, what is this person, what's wrong with me?" Cheng Ying quarreled with Shen Yuzhi unconvinced.

Seeing Cheng Ying jumping in anger, Shen Yuzhi's smile became more and more obvious, and he left a sentence: "A gentleman does not argue with villains." He hurried to the hall, fearing that Cheng Ying would catch him if he moved too slowly.

Cheng Ying knew that he couldn't catch up with Shen Yuzhi, so he could only stomp his feet behind his back angrily.

Xie Chen looked at the way the two of them were bickering, and couldn't hide the smile on the corners of their mouths. After Cheng Ying turned around and saw it, she was a little embarrassed for a while, and stuffed the gift she brought into Xie Chen's arms, saying: "Here, here is Your brother's."

Xie Chen nodded, and said to Cheng Ying, "Thank you."

Seeing Xie Chen who didn't quarrel with her, Cheng Ying felt a little uncomfortable for a moment, dropped a sentence and said: "I'm going to find Shen Yuzhi to reason." Then he left in a hurry.

After Cheng Ying left, Xie Chen continued to receive guests, and after a while, he saw two people standing at the door.

Gu Hengyu and Yan Yichen walked in together, the two of them met at the door at first glance, and as expected, they followed Shen Yuzhi's words and went out without looking at the almanac.

Gu Hengyu is wearing a crescent-white robe today, which adds a bit of gentleness to him, covering up his usual indifference. The whole person looks radiant, and his pair of peach blossom eyes further reflects the youthful demeanor. Yan Yichen He looks handsome, and he is very good at ordinary times, but standing next to Gu Hengyu now, he looks inferior.

Seeing Xie Chen looking at him, Gu Hengyu walked up to Xie Chen without hesitation, and handed the gift he had prepared to Xie Chen.

"Why don't you give it to him in person?" Xie Chen asked Gu Hengyu, Xie Han was standing at the door, Cheng Ying is a woman, if it's inconvenient or embarrassing, she can hand it over for her, but Gu Hengyu can personally hand over the gift to Xie Han , why bother to look far away.

Gu Hengyu looked at Xie Chen and said, "A gift, a gift for you."

Xie Chen looked at the box in his hand that was exactly the same as the previous life, and couldn't help but think, could it be that the gift she threw away in the previous life was not sent to Xie Han by Gu Hengyu, but to herself?
