Chapter 205 Shocked
Today is another sunny day.
Xie Jingyi sat on the grass by the river, stretched her waist, the sun was warm and she almost wanted to fall asleep.
On both sides of the river bank were filled with all kinds of rare flowers. The colorfully dressed young ladies walked together, holding round fans half-covering their faces, laughing with laughter, even the world seemed to be lively and vivid.
She made an appointment with Liu Yuen to meet at a teahouse near Zhuque Street today. She originally planned to go directly, but early in the morning, Zhai insisted on dragging the two sisters to the flower party, saying that Xie Jingxian was married, and now she has to start paying attention to Xie Jingyin, whether there is any good family.
At this flower party, there are many talented young men. It is good if you don’t decide, even if you just look at the market.
Xie Jingxian's marriage was not chosen by Zhai, and Xie Jingze's marriage was also proposed by the Song family. Xie Jingyi was even taken away by the wolf cub early.
This is really a bit unsatisfactory for a mother who makes her lifelong career choosing marriages for her children.
Only Xie Jingyin is left.
Xie Jingyi couldn't persuade her, so she changed into a brightly colored spring shirt and followed her to the flower party.
"My grandma, you guys will play first. I asked Yuen to play chess in a nearby teahouse and then go back in a while."
Zhai was determined to choose a son-in-law for Xie Jingyin. He had long been dissatisfied with Xie Jingyi's lazy look, whether she was sitting or standing or not. When she heard her say this, she hurriedly said, "Go and play."
When Xie Jingyi arrived at the teahouse, Liu Yuen had not arrived yet. She pushed open the window, and a gust of spring breeze blew in, and several pieces of peach blossoms floated in.
This elegant room has a very good view. Looking out, you can clearly see the high platform where Shangyuan Ye is located.
Because everyone went to the flower party, it was rare to become deserted here.
Xie Jingyi withdrew her gaze and asked Honeysuckle to set up the chessboard, and took the chess piece to play chess with him on the chessboard.
After about a cup of tea, the bead curtain moved, and Liu Yuen, who was wearing the curtain, walked in.
"Xie San, I'm really sorry, I'm late." She gasped and said, while picking Wei Mi off, and you could see sweat on your forehead.
Xie Jingyi smiled, picked up the teapot on the table, poured her a cup of tea, "Don't worry, I'm just here."
Liu Yuen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and smiled, "That's fine, I'm still worried that you have been waiting for a long time. By the way, this is the snack I made myself. How about you try it?"
She was obviously much more vivid than when she was in front of Mrs. Liu.
As she said, the maid beside her immediately took out an exquisite brocade box, opened it and saw four small and exquisite snacks in it, and two silver sticks were placed.
The maid looked at her about twenty years old and had a scar on her hands at night, which was the maid named Mianmian.
Xie Jingyi exclaimed, "Wow, Sister Yuen, can I call you Sister Yuen? This craft is extraordinary at first glance. I am very clumsy and can't make such exquisite snacks."
Liu Yuen was very happy when he got the compliment, "Then I will call you Sister Jingyi. That..."
Liu Yuen said, hesitating for a moment, "Sister Huizhi is okay? I saw her leaving that day... I was always worried."
Xie Jingyi ate the snack in small mouthfuls, "It's pretty good, Sister Huizhi is a free and easy person."
Liu Yuen breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. Let's start, I want to avenge my son! Today is full of lottery tickets!"
As she said, she took out a set of small silver hairpins, with four of them, namely the style of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum. It is not fresh, but it is very exquisite and elegant.
Xie Jingyi smiled, "I'm not prepared so much, I only have a few beads to play with in my hands. It's still during the Lantern Festival. When I came here to watch the lights, I met my familiar wife and gave me a reward. Although it's not worth it, it looks like the moon on the fifteenth, which is interesting."
Liu Yuen quickly gave birth, "It's so beautiful. You have prepared five, I only have four hairpins. It seems that I will win today. During the Lantern Festival, I was also watching the lights here, but unfortunately I didn't meet you. Ah, Sister Huizhi said that she met my cousin during the Lantern Festival."
Xie Jingyi accelerated the pace of playing chess, and while talking, he looked at Mianmian, who was kneeling beside him with his light.
"Where is watching the lights, I am right across from there. That night, I was frightened. An old lady in our house went out to buy candy and was trampled on her feet and she kept them for three months before she could get better!"
Liu Yuen also accelerated the chess speed, "Okay, you're actually hiding your weakness!"
Xie Jingyi shook her head, "Where do I have it? I am used to playing fast chess with my brother at home. I think you have used seven success powers."
"During the Lantern Festival, many people were injured. Mianmian went to find something for me, but she was so crowded that she couldn't get back. She was burned by her hands. If she was peaceful today, I don't know how good it is, and the official family is wise..."
Liu Yuen said, pausing for a moment, his face turned slightly red, "Anyway, it's pretty good now, and the people also have food and clothing. I really can't think of why it is like this."
Xie Jingyi said, looking at Mianmian's hands, "I know a doctor. I know some scars to remove. I will bring you next time. The scars on this hand are not good. Who said that's not? By the way, last time I ate sesame cakes with Brother Wuhu. Oh, you probably don't know Brother Wuhu, but you are Sister Huizhi's cousin."
"His father is in charge of the imperial guards. Brother Wuhu said that he was already in sight. As soon as something happened, the city was very cautious and investigated very hard. If the bad guy couldn't leave the city, wouldn't he catch a turtle in a jar?"
She said, looking at Liu Yuen, then looking at Mianmian, and curling the corners of her mouth.
Liu Yuen struggled a little, and the pace of playing chess gradually slowed down. Xie Jingyi raked some people around. Just when the game was about to be decided, Mianmian, who was standing by, suddenly said, "Madam, didn't you say you wanted to buy peach blossom cake? There is a good family nearby. Why don't you buy some to match tea for your little girl?"
At a critical moment, Liu Yuen looked up at the snack box and saw that it was a little empty inside. "Go and go back quickly. I was so sensible that I unknowingly ate all the snacks. It was really rude."
Xie Jingyi smiled, "When I play chess and read books, I will eat too much without realizing it. Otherwise, how could I look so round and like beads!"
Liu Yuen was amused by her.
