Chapter 2
The sound of the water is gurgling, and the banquet continues.

Xie Zhan's eyes were cold, he drank alone, except for occasional questions from friends beside him, other than that, he was deep in thought without saying a word.

Prince Jin, Liulang of the Wang family, has always been a teaser. He saw that Xie Zhan had a different expression after greeting Fu Xuan, so he deliberately approached him and said, "Chang Heng, your fiancée is so beautiful, she deserves to be this Jiankang Xin. The first beauty judged, tsk tsk tsk, you are really beautiful and blessed!"

Changheng is Xie Zhan's name, and several close friends call him that.

Hearing the teasing in Wang Zijin's mouth, Xie Zhan raised his eyebrows to look at him, and asked sharply: "Really? Better than your cousin?"

As soon as the cousin was mentioned, Wang Zijin lost her joking aura and quickly waved her hands, "Hey, I can't compare, I can't compare. If my compliments on others fall into her ears, she will be even less willing to talk to me when she turns around."

Xie Zhan snorted coldly, "A woman, what about it?"

The prince's eyes showed joy, and he replied loudly: "'My fair lady, a gentleman is so good. I can't ask for it, and I think about it.' I think about it day and night, and it's all about her."

Xie Zhan glanced at him, showing a "shame" expression, thought of the word "lady", chuckled, then brought the wine and refilled the glass.

Sitting on the other side of Xie Zhan was Zhou Yue, Zhou's Liulang. He had a romantic attitude and a very wink. He vaguely guessed that Xie Zhan was depressed because Fu Xuan, who gave the marriage, was far away from his family background.

The people who joined the official ranks of the ancestors of the Fu family were all petty officials, and they were all poor people with no roots.Even if it is now an exception, it is just a small family in front of a family like Wang and Xie, who have first-rank official positions and have been standing for a hundred years.

And Fuxuan is not the daughter of the patriarch Fu Yiwen, but only his niece. In terms of identity, she is the daughter of the third-rank Shangshu.Although the position of the third rank is not low, it is really not worth mentioning in front of the famous families who do not lack the first and second ranks.

To put it bluntly, what the Fu family is struggling to achieve now, the aristocratic family had already achieved decades or even a hundred years ago.

Moreover, this Xie Zhan has always been aloof, self-reliant and ruthless, and not fond of women. This Fu Xuan is beautiful if she is beautiful, and if she is beautiful, she is gorgeous, but it is not his hobby.When we met for the first time, I generously invited the boy to travel without mentioning it. I also heard that she often hangs out with the brothers of the Fu family, and goes to places that noble girls will never set foot.

The family backgrounds are so disparate, and the personalities are so extensive, no matter how you look at it, Fuxuan has nothing to do with this virtuous lady from a famous family who thanked her family for her favor, and has nothing to do with a "lady".

Zhou Yue raised his eyebrows slightly, and said meaningfully: "There are not many ladies in Jiankang who can match our Changheng."

This is what it means.

It is recognized by all the aristocratic families that there is no one who can match Xie Zhan's lintel except Wang Zhiyi, the elegant, gentle and beautiful girl from the Wang family.

Wang Zijin quietly raised his eyes to look at Xie Zhan, then shook his head secretly.He had always regarded Xie Zhan as his future brother-in-law, but Fu Xuan suddenly appeared.After learning that Xie Zhan had a marriage contract, his seventh sister was depressed, and even the Xie family's spring banquet was postponed to the future.

Xie Zhan raised his head again and drank the wine in his glass.I have to admit that the wife who was given the marriage was too low-status to be the mistress of the Xie family in Neng'an town.

**
Fu Xuan finally sat diagonally in front of Xie Zhan.The two got together not far away, but Fuxuan couldn't look at him frequently because of face.

On the other side of Xie Zhan, knowing that the identity of the person opposite him does not match him, even though he repeatedly restrained his mind, his body was extremely rebellious. Every drop of blood and every inch of bone in his body seemed to be clamoring and instigating, and he quickly turned his gaze over.

After all, the distant and cold corner of the eye left her behind while toasting, somewhat probing and curious.

He is a drinker.

As time passed inch by inch, more and more people were drinking, composing poems, and talking loudly. Fu Xuan, who was ignored by no one, sighed silently.

Although the scenery here is elegant and beautiful, she doesn't like this banquet now.

Since entering Jiankang City, in order to make friends with the girls from various families, she also sincerely participated in countless banquets, but she treated her sincerely, except for Zhang Yao, the girl from the Zhang family, there was no one else.

The girl next to her was either stabbing her openly or secretly, or she was smiling, but she was actually waiting to see her make a joke.The question she answered with all sincerity was soon the subject of their mockery of her vulgarity.

Gradually, she realized that to the noble daughters of the aristocratic family, she seemed to be a "monster" who suddenly broke into their "world". They were wary of her, disdainful, and even vaguely A bit jealous.

She quietly drank a few glasses of wine, thinking that they didn't like her, probably because of what they said, Xie Zhan's "zhilan", fell into dust because of her.

Fu Xuan smiled nonchalantly, she never pushes others to make things difficult for her, let alone begged for perfection, if someone doesn't want to see her, she is even more willing not to go in front of others.

But someone just didn't go her way and wanted to provoke her.

A lady of high temperament and a girl came in style.

"Why is Miss Fu here alone, and not going to have fun with us?" The girl smiled, pretending to be surprised, glanced at the few people opposite, and added: "Oh, it must be that the future husband is here If you want to get closer to him."

Fuxuan recalled this girl, the daughter of the third wife of the Wang family, and Wang Zhiyi's cousin.

Last time at the Zhang family banquet, it was what she said, "Zhilan falls into the dust and mud", and she also vividly described to others that her cousin Wang Zhiyi and Xie Zhanpin made paintings and poems.

Today, I'm afraid it's not because of Wang Zhiyi who missed the marriage again.

Fu Xuan restrained her temper, got up and smiled, and calmly replied: "You can do whatever you want, I was led here. But Miss Wang is right, my fiancé is here, so I am naturally willing to sit closer."

Wang Ai choked, her smile froze.Fuxuan's meaning is obvious, today's banquet is organized by Mrs. Xie, she can sit here because of the arrangement of the host.

The girl from the royal family dared not say thank you to the mistress, but after all, she was the proud girl of the aristocratic family. She held it up reservedly and exaggeratedly shouted: "Oh, how can a girl be so eager to take the initiative? This, it seems It looks like a jealous wife of a small family."

Jealous woman?If you didn't come here to provoke me, why would I need to bring out this peacock myself?
Fuxuan glanced at Xie Zhan, and replied: "Beautiful flowers and fragrant stamens are the most likely to attract bees and butterflies. I am here to guard, just to see what kind of bedbugs come from far away. .”

As soon as Fuxuan finished speaking, Wang Zijin raised his sleeves to cover his face, and his shoulders trembled with a smile, "Xie Changheng, we have known each other for many years, I don't know that you are a beautiful flower, and you are still fragrant..."

"Shut up." Xie Zhan interrupted in a low voice, but the corners of his lips curled up in a subtle way, feeling a little strange in his heart.Articulation is sharp.

"you……"

Wang Ai choked completely, neither was it to retaliate, nor was it to answer the words.

Fu Xuan was not afraid of her words, and even teased her that she was a bedbug from afar. She was so angry that her neck turned red, and she was worried about the presence of everyone, so she didn't dare to vent at will and damage her own image, and she suffered from being dumb.

At this time, the lady with a good temperament slowly opened her mouth: "The girl who helped the family really lived up to her reputation. She is the most beautiful girl in the capital, and she is unparalleled in beauty. At least in terms of appearance, she matches my sixth younger brother."

There is something in her words, what else does Fu Xuan not understand?

Behind this madam, several noble ladies followed one after another, all of them covered their mouths and smiled ambiguously, nothing more than saying that apart from her appearance, she was worthy of Xie Zhan, but she was also a high-ranking lady.

She raised her eyes and looked at the opposite side again, Xie Zhan had already clasped her fan.The young girl who can make Xie Zhan salute, in Jiankang, there are only well-known talented women, Xie's parents and daughters, and Xie Xinyao alone.

Fuxuan has always been held in the palm of her hand by the Fu family, but has she ever thought that she will be wronged by her future husband's family?A fire ignited in her heart immediately, but thinking of her uncle's painstaking efforts, she suppressed it before the fire could burn out her reason.

She secretly gritted her back molars, still with a polite smile on her face, and said: "Thank you Mrs. Wang for your compliment, I also think that your fiancé looks good."

Returning the other party's words back the same way, even parroting their tongues, has been the best way for Fuxuan to repay the urchins who argued with her since she was a child.She secretly rejoiced that today, unexpectedly, it came in handy again.

As expected, Xie Xinyao froze.

Fuxuan not only accepted her "comment" with pleasure, but also took the opportunity to order "Fiancée", which meant that the two of them would be a family sooner or later!Xie Xinyao regretted it, she had just praised the two, she might as well not mention it, and use other sarcasm!

Knowing that confronting Xie Xinyao head-on was not a wise move, after speaking, Fu Xuan covered her mouth and feigned a belch, and then swayed her body.

The maid Linglong has always been clever, and when she saw this, she immediately stepped forward to help her girl with interest, and said with concern: "Is the girl unwell?"

Fu Xuan was a little embarrassed, "Master's wine is good today, I took a few sips from the cup, and now I feel a little dizzy." She raised her hand to support her forehead, and fell on Linglong weakly.

The voice of the servant girl's reply was not too loud, just enough for several people on both sides of Qushui to hear clearly: "The servant girl helped the girl to go to the gazebo over there to have a rest. After the wine is gone, we will go back to the house."

This is leaving?Xie Zhan raised his eyes involuntarily, and locked his eyes on Fu Xuan with flushed cheeks.

Fuxuan apologized to Xie Xinyao: "I won't disturb Mrs. Wang's interest." Then she walked towards the distance in a nonchalant manner.

Of course she knows that anyone who is not blind can tell that she is pretending, but even if she is pretending like this, these people will not expose it in person, but will show concern and let her have a good rest.

After all, for the aristocratic family, decency is the most important thing.

Fu Xuan walked away gracefully, but Xie Xinyao felt a bit stuck in her throat.

Fuxuan can call her "Miss Xie" here, but she just calls her "Mrs. Wang".Could it be that she is mocking her, marrying that vulgar fan of the Wang family?

 Xie Zhan, whose name is Changheng.Heng héng, a group of ancient jade pendants with horizontal jade.
