In the beginning of autumn, the cool breeze arrives.

There have been several autumn rains in Langya area, which is a cool and comfortable time.

A few days ago, the members of the Xie family returned from the summer resort. Xie Yunxi, Xie Wenqing and Xie Nianhua went down to the Peach Blossom Residence to welcome them, and then went back to the main house together.

In the house for a few days, Xie Yunxi accompanied Mrs. Xie to toss about his "bean product research workshop".

When he was free, he ran around with Xie Xiaowu in a childish manner, and lived a very fulfilling life.

It's a pity that once the hot summer is over, the home school starts again, Xie Xiaowu has more homework and less leisure time.

And Xie Nianhua has always been active, after a few days of calm, she started running around again, seeing no one and not knowing what she was doing all day, very mysterious.

Fortunately, her two best friends have returned to Langya this year, so there is no need to worry about her going outside Langya County.

As for Xie Wenqing, he was carefree and carefree a few days ago, but now he seems to have received "retribution". Banquet invitations from various families came one after another, and it was difficult to refuse.

As the future head of the Xie family and the leading figure of the younger generation of Tianqi literary world, the literary banquet is naturally indispensable.

There are endless banquets, endless poetry and songs, and endless articles and knowledge.

It's true - Fusheng steals the summer leisure, and after the leisure, he is proud of the crematorium.

But this time period is also the busiest time.

No, even Xie Yunxi's two uncles and aunts don't seem to touch the ground, they are busy in and out all day long, each has a banquet or family affairs to take care of.

Of course, when everyone is so busy, there are also people who are extra leisurely.

Xie's house, in the courtyard, under the vines.

Xie Yunxi crossed her legs, rocked the rocking chair, looked at the blue and purple grapes on the green vines above her head, and gnawed a washed courgette in her mouth.

The current cucumber is the common cucumber in Xie Yunxi's previous life, but in this time and space, there is no Jie tribe named "Shi Le", and no one has issued a decree prohibiting the word "Hu".

Courgettes are crispy, fragrant and refreshing. Although there is not much sweetness, freshly picked courgettes soaked in well water, and eaten raw in the early autumn afternoon, are very refreshing.

In the extremely busy days of the whole family, Xie Yunxi "survived" because of her always aloof personality.

But according to his past style, he should spend such a leisurely life in the peach blossom residence on the mountain. After all, although Xie's house is nice, it doesn't have many interesting things in the mountains.

Huaiyuan came in from the courtyard gate, followed by a mighty group of maids, who seemed to be holding trays in their hands.

Stepping under the vine, the maid stopped.

Huaiyuan stepped forward and bowed to ask for instructions, "Mr. Sanlang, all the dresses and accessories needed for the Liqiu Festival have been prepared. Just take a look. If you are not satisfied, the one that doesn't fit you can be called an embroidered lady. The craftsmen will change it together." go."

"The Beginning of Autumn Festival."

Xie Yunxi stood up with a sigh, still holding courgette in her hand, and walked around to the maid while chewing.

Taking a brief look at the dazzling array of clothing on the tray, there are four or five sets of formal dresses, and there are also a dozen sets of more ordinary literati robes. As for feather crowns, waist accessories, etc., there are more than 20 trays.

"That's too much."

Xie Yunxi had a headache, "It's only one day for a serious sacrifice. A set of gowns and a set of robes are enough. As for accessories, keep it simple, don't be cluttered, heavy and cumbersome."

Huaiyuan knew that he would be disgusted like this. In desperation, he could only persuade: "Your Majesty, this was only submitted after deletion. The mistress knew that you don't like fancy clothes and accessories, so she ordered you to keep it simple." .”

He also said: "If you want to delete it again, outsiders will look shabby and may be suspected of being disrespectful to the royal family. Although the Xie family is not afraid of this, it may not be appropriate to just criticize for no reason."

The royal sacrificial banquet is really troublesome.

Xie Yunxi shrugged, "You said that the emperor is really, he insisted on naming me. It would be nice to stay at home and eat melons, and be at ease. Why bother to ask me to participate in the sacrifice in Shangdu City, which is exhausted by traveling and traveling."

Huaiyuan was about to comfort him, but before he could speak, Second Miss Xie's furious yelling could be heard from the courtyard gate.

"The emperor has been calling you for more than a year or two. In the past, you were still young when you didn't get your hair cut. This year, it's hard to find an excuse for you."

Xie Nianhua was dressed in red, with a long whip on his waist, he looked like he had just returned from outside.

She glanced at the clothes on the hand of the maid, curled her lips and said: "Auntie is really eccentric, I asked her to cut some accessories for me, there was only a nagging, but when you come to you, you can reduce it as much as you can, really, I am It's too heavy."

Although the costumes are expensive and beautiful, the weight is really uncomfortable, especially in this weather, although it is the beginning of autumn, the temperature at noon is extremely high, and it is only cool in the morning and evening.

One day after putting on the formal dress, you have to pay attention to your demeanor and maintain a posture, which is not a good feeling.

However, the royal family's Liqiu Festival has always been grand. The relatives of the emperor, the princes and officials of the three princes and nine ministers all went to the western suburbs of the capital to welcome the autumn and hold sacrifices.

Each family must send representatives there every year.

In previous years, the Xie family was always led by Xie Qi, leading Xie Wenqing, Xie Nianhua and other juniors to attend, it was all about seeing the world.

Xie Yunxi became famous at a young age and is also Fu He's direct disciple, so he is naturally the focus of the royal family's attention.

A few years ago, the emperor always invited him to attend by name, but Xie Yunxi always stayed at home, and the current traffic is inconvenient, traveling by car and horses, short distances are fine, if it is farther, the hip bones will fall apart that day.

Xie Yunxi was not willing to go, and the Xie family was very fond of it, so they refused the royal invitation again and again in the name of being young.

It's just that this year's hair is all tied up, and it's too perfunctory to say "young".

Of course, if the Xie family really didn't want to let Xie Yunxi go, there would be no excuses. After all, the aristocratic family and the royal family formed a rivalry and maintained an extremely peaceful situation on the surface.

However, Xie Yunxi is too homely, Xie Lang deliberately asked him to move around more.

Therefore, this year Xie Lang accepted the invitation, and when he turned around to face Xie Yunxi, he looked helpless, saying that it was not good to refuse, and he had to estimate the royal face.

But for the royal face, the four aristocratic families have fought countless times.

Just their family rule of "My daughters are not admitted to the imperial family" made the previous generation of the royal family angry, like a hole was dug in their brains, and they wanted to compete with the aristocratic family.

It's a pity that before the soldiers and horses were assembled, the world and the dynasty were changed by the four major families.

Having learned from the past, the current royal family dare not confront the aristocratic family head-on, they only check and balance each other and be more polite to each other, but they are also harmonious and peaceful, and the world is peaceful.

Xie Yunxi is actually aware of this, and she can clearly see his uncle's careful thinking, but because she understands it, she can't live up to his good intentions.

He looked at Xie Nianhua's energetic appearance, spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "No way, this gentleman is like this, everyone loves flowers and see them bloom, second sister, you can't envy you."

Xie Nianhua glared at him, "You are so blind, let's see if you can still look like this when you are in the carriage."

As an older sister, how can she not know what kind of virtue her younger brother has, it takes two days and one night at normal speed to travel from Langya to the capital.

"I even specially invited a craftsman to build you a carriage, and specially made cushions for you to ease the toss and toss on the road. Now it seems that I don't need to give it to you, hmph!"

Seeing this made her angry, but Xie Yunxi was moved by this kind of heart.

Saying "thank you" seemed blunt and distant, so he just smiled and took a courgette with his own hand and handed it over, "Second sister, don't, this was done with great difficulty, so it can't be wasted, otherwise, anyway, this time the eldest brother leads the team, Uncles and aunts don't go, so when I turn around, I will coax my elder brother, so you should wear less accessories."

Xie Nianhua took the pickled melon and took a bite, "Well, this melon is quite refreshing, and it will be more variety next year."

After boasting melons, he doubted again: "Really?"

Xie Yunxi asked someone to add a rocking chair, asked his second sister to sit down and rest, and said: "How can I lie to you, although the eldest brother respects the rules, he also favors me the most, but for things that are not particularly important, such a small matter, he will take care of himself." Agreed."

Xie Nianhua bit his tongue hard, "It's such a trivial matter, I've never seen him compromise with my sister."

Immediately, he looked sideways, glanced at Xie Yunxi who was rocking the rocking chair, eating melons leisurely, and spat: "You just rely on preference, hmph!"

Those who are favored are naturally confident.

Xie Yunxi felt that there was nothing shameful about this. After all, it should be a happy and honored thing to be loved by relatives.

He looked at Xie Nianhua with an obviously displeased look on his face, but in order to take care of him, he still specially made a car and horse.

With modesty and integrity, besides Mr. Xie Jia Dalang, Mrs. Xie Er is no exception.

Under Fujishita, the two siblings sat side by side, eating melons leisurely.

Xie Yunxi dismissed the maid, and as for the clothes and accessories, those that could be presented had to be carefully confirmed, he didn't bother to worry about these, anyway, someone would remind the priest of the regulations of the sacrifice.

I've seen lazy ones before, but it's really rare for him to be lazy and open-minded.

Xie Nianhua didn't know whether to praise him for being upright and true, or to say that he was "proud of being favored".

Turning her eyes, looking at the vines on her head, she also remembered that she was also one of the members who made him feel safe, so she immediately picked up a melon and blocked her mouth.

——Hey, forget it, who is my younger brother? Seeing how good-looking he is, he has nothing to fear. He is a son of the Xie family, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

At the moment of Yinshi, it is a good time to eat lunch snacks.

Xie Yunxi rubbed some ice powder, then mixed some cool mint honey water and poured it on the ice powder. A bowl of refreshing and sweet mint ice powder is simple and delicious, and it is a wonderful enjoyment after one sip.

Xie Nianhua was satisfied with his meal, and for a while did not think about the troublesome things of the Beginning of Autumn Festival.

"Tell me, what does this royal sacrificial ceremony actually have to do with you and me? It's just to show the friendship between the royal family and the aristocratic family."

Xie Nianhua didn't know what came to mind, and he showed disgust on his face, "The hypocrisy, the superficiality, it's really boring."

There is nothing to complain about "hypocrisy", but the use of the word "exaggerated" is weird.

Xie Yunxi held the bowl, looked sideways and said: "Second sister, why do you have deeper resentment than me? Speaking of which, you are also a frequent visitor to the capital, and you often go to royal sacrifices and banquets. Why do you dislike it now? .”

Then he raised his eyebrows again, "It's still superficial, why does it sound like a person?"

Seeing his expression as if watching a show, Xie Nianhua snorted coldly, "Hurry up and eat your ice powder, and you have to try the new carriage later."

You always have to try a new carriage, and if you feel uncomfortable, you can adjust it yourself.

In order for Xie Yunxi to sit in the carriage for two days and one night so that it would not fall apart, Xie Nianhua has been busy running around in various houses these days, not just to make him sit more comfortably.

after all--

"Don't be like previous years. You just went to a summer resort, and when you got off the carriage one day, you screamed, it hurts and sore."

Xie Yunxi thought of the embarrassing things in the past, touched her nose a little embarrassedly, and didn't ask any more questions about "fairness".

——This blatantly changed the subject, obviously he didn't want to answer.

However, since the Beginning of Autumn Festival is just around the corner, they always have to go to the capital, so they will always be able to know exactly what "beautiful appearance" refers to.

After taking a bite of mint ice powder, it was smooth and refreshing, and I was looking forward to it—the capital city, Huangdu, where there is a place to eat "melons", I really want to leave immediately!
