Graceful spring color

Chapter 35 Feast

The spring day is fragrant, and the main hall of Xie Mansion is full of gardens. You can see exquisite rockery pavilions, smoke willows and trees everywhere.

As the second largest clan in Qian'an, the Xie family's entire mansion reveals the elegance and refinement of the noble clan. In the huge garden of the main hall, there are many servants and girls, but their steps are tight and unhurried. The entire banquet seating arrangement is arranged in a circle. When Xie Fengyue arrived alone, she was spotted by the sharp-eyed Hua Rui.

She put the fruit plate on the small table beside her and hurried over, "Why isn't Sister Zhezhi here?"

Xie Fengyue was silent for a long time and then said, "She felt a little hot when she woke up in the morning, so I let her rest in the room." She looked at the guests coming in one after another outside the hospital, and then continued, "Go and do your work, I'll do whatever I want." Just find a seat and sit down.”

Huarui shook her head, "How can the girl have no one to take care of her?"

"It's okay. Maybe the broken branches infected me too. I'm feeling a little uncomfortable today. I'll go back to rest after the main banquet." Xie Fengyue replied.

Xie Fengyue found a place to sit on a food table far away from the main table. She waved to the attendant girl to leave.

Her originally anxious heart became calmer the longer she sat down. She raised her eyes and scanned the almost full dining table, and finally landed on the dining table to the left of the main seat.

That must be Gongzi Yan's seat. The Qian'an family respects the left, so he can only sit there except for the main seat.

But seeing Mrs. Xie and Mr. Xie sitting down with smiles on their faces, while the table was still empty, Xie Fengyue had a vague premonition in her heart.

At this moment, the boy at the door loudly announced, "Master Yan of the Langya clan has arrived, and Princess Shuyi has arrived." The originally noisy sounds in the courtyard became quieter.

Xie Fengyue's temples were beating and she quickly lowered her head, "Why did these two troublemakers get together?"

But the god of luck still did not favor her. Zhou Shuyi looked around and accurately captured Xie Fengyue sitting alone under the tree, "Sister Yue! Why did you come first? Young Master Yan and I went to your yard to look for you."

After hearing this, Xie Fengyue felt that she had been pierced by all kinds of probing eyes. She put on a gentle smile and replied, "I came here early today."

There was a bit of distance between the two of them, and Zhou Shuyi couldn't hear clearly. She held up the hem of her skirt and walked towards Xie Fengyue.

The smile on Xie Fengyue's face could hardly be maintained.

"What are you doing sitting under this tree? The sun is so good today and you can't even get the sun." Zhou Shuyi said dissatisfied. As soon as she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand to pull Xie Fengyue up, "Let's go, I'll take you to sit in front."

Xie Fengyue's feeling of being watched became even stronger, so she had to bite the bullet and refuse, "Sister, this is not in line with etiquette. The first few tables are all reserved for who will sit."

Zhou Shuyi pouted her lips, "Why don't we add a desk? You can sit next to me."

Xie Fengyue was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the floor to crawl in. How should she tell such naive Sister Shuyi that even her food table was temporarily added.

She cleared her throat and whispered back, "Sister, you see there are only two positions in front, right? The one on the left belongs to Young Master, and the smaller one below belongs to you, right?"

Zhou Shuyi nodded, and then asked doubtfully, "Can't we just get rid of the person below me?" She spoke in a loud voice, and Xie Fengyue's hands under Guang's sleeves were already tightened.

Can't you still hear the meaning of her words? There is no room to add a seat over there! Can’t add it!

Just when Xie Fengyue wanted to bury her head under the food table in embarrassment, Young Master Yan over there said with a smile, "Why don't Miss Yue come and share the food table with me?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shuyi quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, you sit next to him. His dining table is for two people!"

Xie Fengyue was sitting on her knees beside the food table before she could refuse. She was pulled and staggered. The injury on her hand was still showing signs of scabbing. The pain from such a pull instantly made her eyes well up with tears.

Young Master Yan frowned slightly, "Princess Shuyi, come here first."

Xie Fengyue raised her eyes and looked at him from afar, and couldn't help but feel that this man's heart was really attentive. When Xie Fengyue sat next to Gongzi Yan, he lowered his head and asked, "Is there any medicine to apply today?"

Xie Fengyue didn't want to speak. She felt a few particularly eager eyes from the moment she sat down. She knew without even thinking that they were from Xie Fengyu, Xie Jin and Mrs. Xie.

As the master of the house today, Taifu Xie stood up and said some high-sounding polite words, and then the music and rituals started to sound, and everyone passed the cups around, laughing and chatting.

Xie Fengyue lowered her head and looked at the food table. It was filled with delicacies, such as Baodi whitebait, Huzhou water shield, and Linjiang oriole. There were also two cups of Chenzhou rice wine warming on the side. For a moment, her index finger moved. The food here was much better than the ordinary food tables below. Thinking that she would never be able to eat these delicacies after today, Xie Fengyue simply held the chopsticks. After hesitating for a moment, she gave the young master some food. A chopstick of fish, and then started picking up vegetables.

Gongzi Yan saw this girl showing her courtesy for no reason, his eyes fell on the piece of fish on the plate and he laughed out loud, "Miss Yue, do you have anything to ask me?"

Xie Fengyue raised her head in surprise, "Huh?"

Gongzi Yan looked at the piece of fish she was holding.

A smile appeared on Xie Fengyue's lips, "I just want to thank Mr. Lang for taking care of me these days."

Before Gongzi Yan could reply, Songshan, who was kneeling next to him, complained and said, "Girl, my husband doesn't eat fish."

Xie Fengyue didn't pause for a moment. He stretched out his chopsticks and picked up the fish meat on his plate and put it into his mouth. He said vaguely, "It's my lack of thinking."

At today's aristocratic family banquets, the dishes on the food table are all prepared and the portions are very small. The Baodi whitebait plate only has four pieces in total, which is only the weight of one fish. Xie Fengyue secretly cursed, "If you eat one, you will earn ten gold. If you eat less, you will lose two gold."

Wang Yan looked down at her cheeks, which were bulging, like a greedy cat. She was so cute, and he accidentally picked up a piece of fish and put it in her bowl.

Xie Fengyue paused and said in a low voice with a complex look, "The rumors between the two of us have been confirmed, so there is no need for any more acting today."

Wang Yan frowned when he heard this, his expression changed several times, and finally he just said coldly, "Eat your fish."

Xie Fengyue was happy to hear what he said. Now she couldn't act like a husband and a concubine with him in front of Taifu Xie. What's more, she was about to leave, so there was no need to satisfy his request. .

Xie Fengyue chewed slowly and tasted several dishes on the table one by one before putting down her chopsticks with satisfaction. The attendant girl beside her immediately poured her a glass of rice wine.

She thought that it had been a long time since she had a drink and that today would be the last day of her clan life. She picked up the wine glass and wanted to drink it.

Gongzi Yan's cold voice came again, "Yellow wine is hot in nature and is not good for your wounds."

Xie Fengyue turned a deaf ear and drank the wine in the glass in one breath. "Thank you sir for reminding me."

Young Master Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Good intentions are treated as a donkey's liver and lungs."

The rice wine was spicy and fishy, ​​which made Xie Fengyue's head heat up and she blurted out, "You're not a donkey."

As soon as these words came out, Xie Fengyue immediately felt regretful. She quickly made up for it, "My husband has extraordinary bearing and high integrity, so he is definitely no longer a donkey. You are the bright moon in the sky and the silver frost on the ground."

Wang Yan laughed angrily and said in a bad tone, "I see that the food served on the table today is not as bold as a leopard's. What's wrong with Miss Yue?"

Xie Fengyue couldn't help but smile. She stood up quickly. "Mangjun ate slowly while I went to freshen up." She pointed to the oil spots on her white clothes.

Wang Yan glanced at the few dishes left on the table and said, "Ha"
