Chapter 498 New Year's Eve
"Miss, my servant will help you tie your hair." Xianggui said.

Xie Zhaozhao nodded and returned to sit in front of the dowry.

When Xianggui was halfway helping her hold up her hair, Xie Zhaozhao heard Xie Changan coming in from outside.

He sat down outside.

The maid also prepared tea and cakes for Xie Changan. Xie Zhaozhao heard Xie Changan say "Thank you" lightly, and the maid whispered "Sixth Young Master" to be polite.

Xiang Guixiao whispered: "Sixth Young Master is so gentle and polite."

Among the young masters in the prince's noble mansion, how can anyone say "thank you" to the maid serving tea? Xie Chang'an is the only one.

Moreover, Xie Changan is also very tolerant and gentle towards the people in his house, and he has no choice in how he treats people outside.

It has been commented in the capital that Xie Changan is almost the most suitable candidate to be a husband among all the princes and grandsons in the capital.

Among the five young masters of the Xie family, he is also the most popular among the girls and wives in his boudoir.

Xie Changyu and Xie Changqing were both too cold and intimidating.

Xie Changheng was lame, and no matter how charming he was, he still made people sigh, so naturally he couldn't be ranked.

There is no need to say more about Xie Changyuan, who has a bad reputation. I just ask him not to harm women from good families.

Xie Changan has almost all the advantages of all his brothers without any of their shortcomings, making him almost perfect.

Xie Zhaozhao heard this statement whispered by Xianggui and Xiangrong two days ago.

I won’t say whether Jingzhong’s evaluation of the other brothers is false or not, but Xie Changan is indeed gentle, courteous and graceful, and he deserves to be named the most suitable husband.

It's a pity that the second brother and the fourth brother are here to mess around, otherwise the sixth brother's marriage should have been settled long ago.

"All right."

Xianggui pinned the last beaded flower on Xie Zhaozhao's bun, and gave Xie Zhaozhao a moonlight skirt to put on, with a white fur-edged jacket on top.

Xie Zhaozhao casually took two glass bead earrings and hung them on his left and right earlobes, then got up and went outside.

"I kept you waiting for a long time, Brother Six!"

When Xie Zhaozhao sat down, Xiangrong also brought a meal, including shredded chicken and red date porridge, crystal steamed dumplings, red bean cake, and two appetizers.

Xie Changan asked: "You didn't have breakfast?"

"Yeah, I didn't get up until just now...Brother Six, have you had breakfast? Do you want some for you?"

Xie Changan shook his head: "I ate at my mother's place. When I was celebrating the New Year with her, I saw that you were not there, so I came over to see you."

"New Year greetings...has everyone already celebrated the New Year?"

Xie Zhaozhao asked while eating.

The Xie family has many children, and in the past every year they would get up early to pay New Year greetings, and the hall would be filled with crowds of people.

Since Xie Wei was granted the title of Duke of Liang, he has not been free all year round. He finally took a few days off to celebrate the New Year. He also had to go to the palace early to pay New Year greetings to the emperor. When he came back from paying homage, he was not allowed to rest and had to be paid New Year greetings by his children.

After a good holiday, he was more tired than going to court on weekdays. He was very depressed about this.

It is inevitable to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor.

But it is controllable to ask the bastards not to delay his time to rest and hold his wife.

So I then told them to try not to be too aggressive.

The children are also sensible.

Who wouldn't be happy to sleep in on the first day of the new year? Anyway, everything in the house is taken care of by the servants. There is no need for anyone to get up to clean, firecrackers and cook food. Naturally, they will sleep until they remember.

The first day of the Lunar New Year is the day when the Xie family is least required to follow rules and is also the most relaxed.

Xie Changan smiled warmly and said: "Second brother and Huan'er have been there. When I came out, Third Sister and Yue Ya were going in." I can see that my second brother likes children...he is such a cold person."

"Yeah... I just heard from them that they have an appointment with Xiao Yi from Princess Anyang's Mansion tomorrow, and the second brother will take Huan'er out to look for him tomorrow."

Xie Zhaozhao had a meal and ate half of the red bean cake, "Second brother seems to often take Huan'er to Princess Anyang's Mansion?"

"It's not that often. I go there every few days."

Xie Zhaozhao said "Oh", lowered his head and took a sip of porridge, then asked: "Where is Miss Lan?"

"I didn't see anyone."

Shalan has been reclusive since she came to Xie's Mansion. Unless she appears with Xie Changqing, you can hardly see her.

At first, Yu was very enthusiastic about Shalan because of her unborn child, and offered to take her out for a walk, but Shalan's attitude was relatively cold.

He will go out with Xie Changqing by his side.

If she went out alone with Yu, Xie Jiajia Qiushui and others, then Shalan would not go out.

After a few times, Yu's enthusiasm gradually dissipated, and she no longer took special care of her, leaving only the stewards and maids to worry about.

It is the custom of the Qin people to celebrate the New Year, but the Molan people do not celebrate the New Year.

Shalan's temperament is a bit independent. She has been in the capital for many days, but she still has not integrated here. She has no feeling for the first day of the new year, so naturally she will not appear in Yu's Chunhe Building.

Xie Zhaozhao figured this out and continued to drink porridge.

After finishing the porridge, Xie Zhaozhao stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Six, do you have any plans today?"

"No... let's go with you to mother's place to pay New Year's greetings and then see. If you want to do anything, Sixth Brother will accompany you."

Xie Zhaozhao's smile widened: "Let's go then!"

The brother and sister went downstairs and talked and laughed on the way to Chunhe Building.

Xie Chang'an talked about Yun Qi's marriage proposal yesterday with emotion, "I can finally wait until my little sister gets married."

Xie Zhaozhao decided to get married to Chu Nanxuan when he was 15 years old, but there were twists and turns due to various reasons.

After finally putting on the wedding dress and marrying Chu Nanxuan, Yun Qi Hengkong disrupted her, and everything after that was completely messed up.

After delaying until now, Xie Zhaozhao is already a veritable old girl.

Some of the children her age in Beijing who got married early are six or seven years old.

Xie Zhaozhao chuckled and said, "Sixth brother thinks I've been staying at home for too long?"

"Nonsense!" Xie Changan said with a helpless smile: "Good things take a long time. It doesn't matter if you marry later, you have to be the one you like."

"That's true."

Xie Zhaozhao nodded and spoke with emotion: "If you choose someone at random because you are old enough to get married, or if you see others getting married, you marry yourself too..."

"Or maybe you don't see clearly what the character of the person you marry is, and whether it's worth spending the rest of your life with him."

"The days after marriage are actually visible at a glance, without any expectations...it's just the best outcome."

Although she didn't marry randomly in her previous life, she got the wrong person.

In the end, his family was ruined and he died miserably.

However, now, the past seems very far away, so far away that she can't remember clearly some things.

"Little sister." Xie Changan whispered: "Miss Lan is in front."

Xie Zhaozhao came back to his senses, followed Xie Changan's instructions and looked forward, and sure enough he saw Sha Lan with long brown hair standing under a plum tree, and his second brother Xie Changqing stood not far away with his hands behind his back.
