Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands
Chapter 35 Garden Tour
Early the next morning, Qingdai got up and urged Xie Xian to wash and dress up early. When she arrived at the door, she saw Shiqi Niang and Liu Niang waiting with a group of sisters.
Xie Xian felt a little embarrassed. It really wasn't her intention. In the past, when she went out for a party, she never got up two hours in advance. As a modern woman, she played to relax herself, not to make herself suffer.
Several people got on the ox cart. The eldest wife's cart was the biggest. Seventeenth Lady brought a few of her half-sisters. Sixth Lady also got into the cart, obviously wanting to talk.
Xie Xian looked at the second wife's ox cart, who was alone and didn't do anything. She thought that she was really not familiar with it.
"It's too early today. My wife hasn't even had time to drink water!" Qingdai's voice came from outside the window. It was because Xie Xian got up late and had no time to eat anything.
Just as Xie Xian was about to fall asleep, the door curtain opened and a frail girl with a slightly pale face moved in.
Xie Xian's body, which had just been lying down, bounced up reflexively and hit her head against the window frame. Xie Minyan, who witnessed this scene, turned pale from white to red, and then from red to purple. She lowered her head and almost held back tears.
Xie Xian gave up treatment: "Laugh if you want to!" She rubbed her forehead and luckily she had wrapped it with cork, otherwise there would definitely be a bump.
"My lady, use this, you will feel more comfortable." The girl opposite, who looked like Lin Daiyu, had laughed enough. With a guilty look on her face, she took out a small bottle of ointment from her waist bag and handed it over.
Just as Xie Xian was about to speak after taking over, Xie Miao poked his head in and said, "Madam, this is Miss Min, the daughter of the Sixth Uncle." She was busy placing bags on the car.
She muttered to herself, "There are only two girls in the second room. Take good care of them and prepare all the things." Xie Miao acted more and more like a housekeeper these days.
"Sanqi, this is the first time that my Qingdai is accompanying a lady out of the house, so please be more careful."
Another young girl said with a silly smile: "Don't worry, Sister Miao, my girl still needs your protection!"
Well, it turns out that this is the twelfth lady from the second house who didn’t come to the last clan reunion banquet and was said to have been cheated on.
Xie Xian's eyes lit up and she became less sleepy. The girl opposite her was wearing a light blue silk waist skirt and a fur coat with silver-edged cloud and beast patterns. Her small face was the size of a palm. She seemed to be the fragile and delicate Lin Daiyu in the Dream of the Red Chamber.
Looking at the white plaster on her hand, Xie Xian smiled.
"Is it Miss Minyan?" Xie Xian leaned against the car window to confirm. It's not shameful to be her own sister, and she likes this sister. At least she's pleasing to the eye.
But Xie Minyan in front of her was a little uncomfortable with Xie Xian's sudden enthusiasm. She leaned carefully against the side of the carriage and pursed her lips slightly: "The daughter Xie Minyan greets the lady." Before she could bow down, she was supported.
Xie Xian lowered her head and saw that her arms were as thin as those of a junior high school student. Her pale skin was faintly purple, and it seemed that her health was not very good.
The round-faced girl outside the car squeezed in first. "My wife~" Sanqi said loudly. She looked at Xie Xian's hand nervously, staring at Xie Xian, and looked defensive, afraid that Xie Xian would eat her girl in the next second.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Qingdai followed in. She was also startled by the noise and came in to take a look.
"Sit tight," Xie Xian stood still, holding Xie Minyan with one hand and grabbing two cushions from behind for her to lean on.
After Min Meizi sat down, he looked at the loud-voiced girl. Her chubby little face was tightly stretched, and her maroon jacket was wrapped around her body. She had a round figure that was rare among the servants.
This body shape and this girl complement each other very well. Sanqi slammed down on the mat in front of Xie Xian. Just now, she thought the lady was going to...
I was so loud, it was really rude. Woohoo, will the lady throw me out of the car? Everyone in the clan said that the lady was not a good-tempered person. Woohoo, if I get off, what will the lady do?
Xie Xian was speechless as she watched her fine wool carpet pad being dented by the impact.
Xie Minyan looked at Xie Xian's eyes scanning back and forth between her and Sanqi. She smiled helplessly and said softly, "My lady, Sanqi was not originally so fat, but she couldn't lose weight anymore because she was testing the medicine for me.
She looked apologetic, and probably that was why she could still keep Sanqi by her side despite his appearance.
Xie Xian nodded. She guessed that Sanqi must have some kung fu skills.
Seeing that she revealed it without caring, Xie Minyan breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was her first time meeting Xie Xian, all the news about Second House Madam Xian came from her. She knew that she was a straightforward person, and was not as gentle as a girl. Her father also told her to be more tolerant.
But after seeing Xie Xian's natural demeanor in front of her and feeling the slightly warm soft pillow behind her, her anxious heart, which had been restless for the past month, calmed down.
Seeing that everyone was relaxed, Qingdai pulled Sanqi up with some amusement: "Okay, you big head, don't damage the frame of the lady."
How can you tease me like that? After all, I am a girl. But seeing Xie Xian's amused expression, Xie Minyan seemed to be thinking about something. It seems that what Aye said is right. The lady is really rough and rude. Even the servants are so careless when they talk to her.
Sanqi burst into laughter. This sister Qingdai spoke just like her master, and she felt very close to her.
Soon the carriage was filled with joy.
The head of the Yu family is currently the Inspector of Jiecang County, in charge of the provincial government that goes east to Que County. Although his actual power is not as great as that of the governor, the local gentry and wealthy families still give him face.
There was nothing outside the gate of the Yu family mansion. There were two groups of courtyards and three main rooms. There were two covered doors on both sides, one for men and one for women. There were two courtyards in the east and west, and four rows of houses in front of the gates. These houses were lined up to represent a large family.
The relatives who came in and out entered the mansion from the west gate. Shiqi Niang and Liu Niang got off the carriage and handed over the visiting card. The servant who rang the door hurriedly went in to announce it. Not long after, a wealthy woman came out to greet them.
"Oh my! This is golden flowers falling from the sky. The ladies of the Xie family have come to invite you for gifts. My eldest lady has been waiting for you for a long time."
Before Seventeenth Lady could say anything, Sixth Lady took over: "Of course, for Madam Yu, the sisters got up early." She exchanged a few words with the woman in a familiar manner.
This time, many prominent families from Jingmen gathered together, and it was rare for the mistresses of each family to go out and show off their children.
Only one of the Xie family's young masters came this time, and the only one who was old enough was Xie Jiulang. The mistresses of each family gathered in the backyard, and the wives and young masters also went to their own yards.
The slave led the way in front, and the Seventeenth and Sixth Niang followed Xie Xian half a step slower, holding down their skirts and following at a leisurely pace. Xie Xian wanted to have a good chat with the Fifth Sister. They had just arrived at the destination before they had said a few words in the car. So why did they take the ox cart?
In Yixiang Garden, there were clusters of flowers and beautiful women. From a distance, there were all kinds of pretty girls, which were dazzling. It was the first time that Xie Xian saw the good looks of the ladies from prominent families. In this era, everyone was competing for the foundation, and only a few people wore heavy makeup. After all, makeup was difficult to fix and even more difficult to set, and it would be bad if the color faded.
With a smile on her face, Xie Xian greeted the girls after being introduced by Xie Huanlang. She was of high status, and her fame came only from her influence.
Moreover, he has no brothers, and everyone is privately discussing how long the second eldest son can hold on.
Everyone had different expressions, but they still looked respectful.
While the ladies were chatting about their own topics, Xie Xian ordered tea, fruits and snacks early and sat at the table in the corner to fill her stomach, not knowing when the banquet would start.
Turning around, Xie Minwen was sitting next to him. Xie Xian, with cakes in her mouth, looked at him and said, "?" Xie Minwen saw that the cakes on the plate in front of him were disappearing at an abnormal speed, so he had to pick up a piece to cover it up to avoid being laughed at.
