Chief Minister Wang's birthday feast came as scheduled, and he specially sent a butler to invite Xie Heng and Wen Jiu to the mansion.
"My wife has always said that Young Madame has a good face. She wants to make use of today's birthday banquet to get to know you.
He knew that Xie Heng was not someone who would give him face, so he praised Wen Jiu without even mentioning anything.
"I've also admired Madam Wang for a long time."
Wen Jiu laughed, and replied without batting an eyelid.
Xie Xuan had not appeared for a few days and she was currently not in the manor either. Putting aside the fact that it would be inconvenient for her to go to Chief Minister Wang's birthday banquet by herself, she did not know what kind of trouble she would encounter.
He still had to be careful.
Just as they were talking, the attendant reported, "The general has returned."
With that, the youth entered the room. "Jiu, change your clothes. Let's go watch the show."
This man talked about the birthday banquet in Chief Minister Wang like he was going to a market!
Wen Jiu resisted the urge to hold onto his forehead and said, "I haven't finished clearing the account book in my hands."
The owner of the teahouse was suddenly sent to prison. She hadn't cleared up the mess she had left behind previously. After she took over, she still needed to spend more effort to find out.
"Put it down first."
Xie Heng walked closer, and his voice had a hint of a smile, "I'll bring you to see a good show."
Wen Jiu, "..."
The manager of the Chief Minister Wang family was still standing there. Elder brother, is it appropriate for you to speak like that?
Xie Heng urged, "Let's change our clothes first."
"Eldest brother …"
Wen Jiu still wanted to say something, but the youth just said: "Why are you saying that when you're not going out?" Blocked back.
Could it be that she had even lowered the appearance of their Xie Family?
She returned to her room dejectedly. The little maid took out all the clothes that she had bought recently, "Young Madame, which clothes are you going to wear today?"
Wen Jiu swept his eyes across the blue satin that was reflecting the plum blossoms, and casually said: "Let's do that."
"Isn't that too much?" The little maid was a bit conflicted: "We should dress up better to attend the main branch's birthday banquet. The general said that the Young Madame should dress up …"
Wen Jiu choked.
Originally, she was not someone who paid much attention to her appearance. It was all because her parents had given birth to a pretty good foundation. Ever since the incident with her Changping County, she had always been wearing white clothes.
Hearing Xie Heng's words today, she had suddenly been struck a little hard.
After all, there was not a single Xie Family with an ordinary appearance.
"That one."
Wen Jiu clenched his teeth: "We're not going to the selection again."
The little maid was still unwilling to give up. "The madams and mistresses of other families all dress up very grandly for this banquet."
Wen Jiu glanced at the little servant. Ever since that day at the teahouse, when the little maid came out to stop her, she had said a few more caring words. The little maid had become a lot more intimate with her.
She thought: The whole house is a mess of informants, about one or two ordinary people.
Wen Jiu raised his eyes. "How about you dress up properly?"
The little servant girl pursed her lips: "Jin Er doesn't dare."
"Enough."
Wen Jiu changed clothes, combed her hair into a bun, and wiped her hair with her foot.
She only brought Jin Er alone, and after walking through the long corridor, she saw Xie Heng and Butler Wang waiting in front of the courtyard. The two of them did not know what to say, but Xie Heng seemed to be in a good mood.
Wen Jiu called out in a low voice, "Elder brother."
The young man turned around, his lips curling slightly, a brilliant light circulating in his eyes. "As expected, it's better for us Jiu to not dress up."
"What?"
Even with Wen Jiu's meticulous thoughts, she still could not understand what the young man meant.
Xie Heng sighed lightly, and said with a little disappointment: "There are so many popinjays in the Dijing, what will happen if I get entangled with you?"
Wen Jiu, "... Elder Brother, you're overthinking it. "
With her physique as an old maid her entire life, those silkpants from Dijing would immediately take a detour when they saw her.
Jin Er reminded her from behind in a low voice, "Miss, this general is praising you for your good looks."
Wen Jiu, "..."
She almost didn't recognize the undertone of the compliment.
"Cough cough, that." When Xie Heng heard the little maid's words, he could not help but look up into the sky, and grab Wen Jiu's wrist, and drag him away. "Come, elder brother will bring you to see a show."
The Royal Mansion.
Today, the sun was shining just right. The front of the head assistant's house was filled with many people who had come to congratulate him.
Wen Jiu kept pondering about what Xie Heng meant by "watching a show".
At this time in her previous life, she was still a poor citizen and was struggling to figure out how to survive three meals, so she wasn't too concerned about the matters between the first and second lords.
He had forgotten what had happened during this period of time.
Steward Wang brought them into the Duke Palace. Since Chief Minister Wang was old and everyone had a refined and amiable appearance, anyone who went over would be able to exchange a few words of greeting.
But Wen Jiu knew that this cunning old fox had always wanted to give Xie Heng a reminder.
The youth was the first to speak. "No matter what Madam Wang says to you later, just smile. If you don't want to respond, then just ignore it."
This was still the other party's residence, yet they dared to say such words to his face.
Wen Jiu felt the urge to facepalm, and restrained himself before whispering: "Brother Yun is also just laughing casually."
She was afraid that this young man would attract rotten peach blossoms that were all over the ground, and she was afraid that it would be difficult to find a peaceful day for his General's Mansion in the future.
Xie Heng glanced at her, the color in his eyes slowly circulating.
"General Xie!"
The Chief Minister Wang came up to welcome them, and greeted them: "Quick, please take a seat. This old man will have three cups of wine with the General Xie later!"
The rest of the people behind him agreed, and treated Xie Heng extremely courteously.
"So this is the Fifth Young Madame?"
Madam Wang also brought a type of servant over. When she saw Wen Jiu, she smiled and said, "I heard long ago that he was a heroic and unyielding person. Seeing him today, he is indeed extraordinary."
"Madam, you are too kind."
In the past, when Wen Jiu heard these words of praise, his ears almost recognized the cocoon in them. At the moment, he only smiled slightly, "The young miss of your house is the country's most beautiful lady, it's rare to see her in the mortal world."
Hearing that, Wang Qianyun gently said, "What are you saying, Fifth Young Madame?"
Wen Jiu was only casually saying that.
There were countless beauties in the Dijing City, and Wang Qianyun was a top student, she had a gentle and refined temperament since she was young, and her looks were not bad, so she was naturally outstanding.
To flatter each other was to pick up something pleasant to say.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Wen Jiu was still unable to figure out what kind of show was going on, and quite a few people were looking at Xie Heng with their eyes blinking.
The few senior ministers looked at Xie Heng as if he were their son-in-law, with gazes that were filled with indescribable gazes.
Wen Jiu suddenly had a headache. As he lifted his eyes, he discovered that the Miss Wang's gaze was also glued to the youth's body …
Fine.
