Chapter 53: Act according to the situation
Translator: 549690339
Xie Xian left the group of madams who wanted to be matchmakers for him and went to the front hall to entertain the male guests.
...However, because he had passed down the imperial edict on behalf of Emperor Epsilon, and even slapped the noble buttocks of the young masters of the aristocratic families, the aristocratic families had become sworn enemies with him. Only the various manors that were related to the Xie Manor had sent people. Although Xie Xian was the Xie Clan’s Clan Head, he was still young. Even those families that had come had mostly sent people of the same generation as him.
Xie Xian did not have a good reputation among the aristocratic families, so most of the guests left after putting on a show.
The emperor’s imperial edict conferred him the rank of a third-grade casual rider’s constant attendant, but he did not give him face. It only made him more despised among his peers.
In the past, the front courtyard was always the last to disperse, with waves of guests surging in. There was never such a cold and isolated time. Xie Xian calmly sent Pan Shuo and Yang Shao out of the door.
“It’s not convenient today. I’ll treat the two of you to three cups in private another day.”
“How can three cups be enough? 1 want thirty cups!”Pan Shuo put his arm around Xie Xian’s shoulder. He was taller than Xie Xian by half a head, and he felt that he was taller and more powerful.
“You’ll be promoted by three levels. Five, four, three… Right? This is a joyous occasion. It’s your turn to treat me. I’ll treat you again when I’m reinstated.” Pan Shuo had the Empress Dowager to oversee him, so he was confident that he would be reinstated one day.
” Those young masters from the aristocratic families are so angry that their eyes are bulging. All of them have been stripped of their official positions and are still putting on airs in front of us. It’s even better if they leave. If they don’t leave, they’ll only be envious!”
Yang Shao also felt that the actions of these aristocratic young masters were not right.
“We just ate Brother Xie’s birthday wine and got lucky. Next time, it should be my treat. I’ve just been promoted, how could Brother Pan forget?”
“Alright, I just wanted you to invite me over, but I was afraid that I would eat you out of money a few days ago. Since you said that, you’re the first and Xuan Hui is the second!”
The wine was served.
How could Xie Xian not know that these two were afraid that he would lose face, so he smiled and agreed. In fact, he really did not take these to heart. If he cared about this, he wouldn’t have done it.
“It’s time for Marquis Jing Yang’s promotion banquet.”
“You’re busy with your family matters and you’re busy with your appointment. Let’s set a time limit. How about ten days later?”
“Then it’s settled.” Pan Shuo’s slap almost made Xie Xian stagger.
Seeing that Pan Shuo could barely stand, Xie Xian and Yang Shao stopped chatting and asked the servants of the Pan residence to help him into the carriage.
Yang Shao came in Pan Shuo’s car, but Pan Shuo was drunk at this time, so it was inconvenient for him to ride in the car. Xie Xian intended to send him a car, but he refused without saying anything.
“It’s good to walk back.”
After saying that, Yang Shao didn’t care what Xie Xian wanted to say and turned to leave. In the end, he even waved his hand in a carefree manner.
In fact, he did not drink much, but he was a rough man. He did not develop the habit of having carriages and servants around him when he went in and out. Even though he was now a third-grade general, he was still used to being alone.
Yang Shao walked all the way to the Qinhuai River. The weather in mid-June was already extremely hot, and his thin clothes were already drenched in sweat.
Suddenly, he saw the Xiao family’s ox cart in the crowd. Outside the ox cart, the four maids beside Xiao Baoxin were all imposing and aggressive.
Yang Shao caught up to him, but he saw that the Xiao family’s ox cart did not drive back to the Xiao manor, but went all the way to the small long trunk, and finally stopped outside Scholarflower Alley. Xiao Baoxin came out wearing a power fence, the black gauze hanging down to his neck.
If Yang Shao hadn’t recognized the maid of Xiao Manor, he really wouldn’t have recognized Xiao Baoxin with his own attire.

“This is the place, Wifey.” Mu Jin pointed at the innermost courtyard. She was familiar with it and had come here more than once.
“Go and see what’s going on inside.’”‘
Hibiscus responded and left. After a while, she turned around and reported,””He was drinking and talking nonsense. He was unlucky and had a good friend. He protected and flattered him and scolded Assistant Minister Xie.”
“Not assistant minister, but constant attendant.” “The casual attendant.” Cai Wei corrected.
Although she was waiting outside the Xie Manor, her source of information was not inferior to the people inside.
Once the imperial edict arrived, it immediately spread outside and caused a sensation among the coachmen and servants of the various aristocratic families. Cai Wei was listening from a distance, but she had heard all sorts of gossip about Xie Xian. For example, so what if he was favored by the emperor? If he didn’t get married at the age of twenty, it might be because his body wasn’t good enough.
As for which aspect he couldn’t do it in, that could only be understood.
This was not the main point. Xiao Baoxin asked in a low voice,””You didn’t find out, did you?”
“No, I haven’t.” Hibiscus admitted that she was not as strong as Youmei, but her lightness skills were top-notch. “They sent the servants elsewhere. There were only two people in the room. Their hair was disheveled and they were already drunk, as if they had eaten Five Stones Powder.”
She paused.” That’s.. Two men…”
He even hugged her in one place, touched her waist, and touched her chin. She was really blind.
Two men?
Xiao Baoxin’s eyes lit up.
Since the storm was coming, then let’s make it even more violent.
“You can go and take a look.” Xiao Baoxin leaned over and whispered to Mu Jin,””When the time comes, shout loudly. It’s best if you shout everyone in the alley out.”
Cai Wei was excited:” Wifey, let me go too. I’m afraid that Mu Jin alone won’t be able to handle it. With this servant following, it will be easier to act according to the situation.””The collective sense of honor was very strong.
Xiao Baoxin nodded. Cai Wei was the quickest of the four maids. With Cai Wei following her, she was at ease.
She had never seen anyone jump over Cai Wei’s trap.
“Go ahead.”
Xiao Baoxin got on the bullock-cart after giving his instructions and took a detour back the way he came.
Yang Shao was stunned this time. What was going on?
He was worried that Xiao Baoxin would find out, so he did not dare to go forward. Therefore, he could not hear the conversation between the master and servant clearly. He did not know what they were talking about.
However, Xiao Baoxin had left the two girls behind to go to Scholarflower Alley. He only did not know what had happened that caused Xiao Baoxin to be so mysterious. He wanted to investigate, so he followed behind Cai Wei and Mu Jin.
He did not dare to go too close to them, but with just a glance from afar, he almost vomited all the wine he had eaten in the Xie residence.
He still recognized Yuan Chen. He was a famous talent in Jiankang City. He had countless excellent works and was sought after by countless young ladies. He was also Xiao Baoxin’s future husband.
It was him. He was actually hugging and biting a little fatty who was half a head shorter than him in a spacious room. They were kissing passionately and clicking their tongues.
What was Xiao Baoxin doing?
Catch that thing?
But why did he leave again?
Yang Shao’s mind was already in a mess and he had no eyes to continue watching. However, he saw Cai Wei leaning against the wall and watching with great interest while Mu Jin looked like she had nothing to live for. But even so, she did not dare to shift her eyes away and watch the entire process..
