Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands
Chapter 138 Attending the Banquet
The waiter at the side hurriedly explained for his husband: "Madam, you don't know, there are many refugees along the way from Ping County, and in order to hurry up, we can only take the small road." This delayed the journey.
Hearing this, You's father and You Luan's faces changed slightly. There were so many refugees. "Brother, you encountered danger on the road. It's all my fault. If I hadn't been so anxious, you could have come back when it was safe."
She blamed herself a little.
You Chun smiled and rubbed her head: "Don't worry, sister. Brother is away from home all year round and he knows how to protect his life." Everyone was affectionate for a moment.
They met several groups of refugees on the way. They thought a lot about it at that time because they were trying to hurry on. Now it seems that it is certain.
"When I saw the refugees on the road that day, why didn't they stop in other counties? It seemed that they were heading towards Que County!" You Chun frowned and asked,
The expressions on the four people's faces became solemn, and only You's father said lightly: "It's okay, I believe the county magistrate has a solution." Yesterday, the government office also issued a notice, saying that people from major chambers of commerce will be invited to gather at Qingxin Garden tomorrow.
You Chun also remembered the recruitment notice he heard at the city gate. There were only one or two thousand people in the refugee camp at most. If the mine of the second branch of the Xie family really needed manpower, these new refugees would be an excellent labor force.
This can also solve the urgent need of the county lord. He was shocked. Could this also be part of the plan of the lady of the Xie family?
At dawn the next day, Xie Xian arrived at "Qingxin Garden" on the outskirts of Que County in a horse-drawn carriage.
Qingxin Garden is indeed a holy place for aristocratic families to enjoy flowers, have casual conversations and go on blind dates. Because it is close to the mountains and forests, people are specially hired to plant various flowers. Every time the first snow falls, plum blossoms bloom all over the mountain, and the scenery is unique and fascinating.
Xie Xian was wearing a fire fox cloak and a jade crown on her head. Her simplicity revealed an extraordinary demeanor, with only necklaces hanging from her earrings as embellishments. Xie Miao, wearing a padded jacket, followed closely behind her.
Before she arrived, the title of the mistress of the second branch of the Xie family had already come to light, attracting a lot of attention.
When they arrived at the gate, County Magistrate Bai's wife, Mrs. Meng, came to greet them personally.
She had a plump figure, wore a silver fox cloak, had a friendly smile, and praised repeatedly: "I've heard that Madam Xian is very heroic. Seeing her today, I find that she is indeed extraordinary." It was obvious that she was a community hero at level ten or above.
Xie Xian bowed in return and said, "Greetings, Madam." She was too small to go out. Seeing that she was not talkative, Mrs. Meng just talked to herself. She briefly introduced the arrangement of the courtyard and other things, then led her to the back hall.
"Your uncle Bai said that it was thanks to you that we were able to survive the refugee crisis last time. He wanted to find a day to come and thank you, but he didn't expect that he would need your help again this time!"
Meng knew that Bai Tingjing had a very good relationship with her. A few days ago, Bai Tingjing was so worried that his hair fell out, but she didn't expect that he would have to rely on the help of the lady of the Xie family to deal with the refugees.
Although she had never met Xie Xian, Xie Xian had done a lot. It might not be a big deal for them, but it was a great favor to ordinary people. Meng was also the daughter of a small commoner family. She and her husband supported each other and got to where they are today step by step.
So she naturally had a good impression of Xie Xian.
Xie Xian smiled and nodded: "Mrs. Bai, you really flatter me!" It was not until she heard Mrs. Meng talk about it that Xie Xian realized that everyone thought so highly of her! What about serving the country and the people, what about giving back to the hometown.
She herself was wondering, isn't it because she was too lazy to go out? What's the point of being pure and filial? Isn't this just a common way to summon colleagues?
Xie Xian was so praised by Meng that she began to doubt her life.
At this moment in Qingxin Garden, although the winter chill made the flowers, plants and trees seem a little deserted, the party in the garden was very lively. Young men and women from various clans were enjoying this feast to their heart's content.
There was no strict separation between men and women in this era. The banquet was only symbolically separated by a thin curtain. Under the attention of everyone, Xie Xian walked with Madam Meng.
For those guests who had long heard of her name but rarely had the opportunity to see her in formal occasions, she undoubtedly became the focus.
In the pavilion in the distance, several noble ladies were whispering. Wang Yue, the young lady of the Wang family, said softly, "Is that the lady of the Xie family?"
"Yes, but why is the lady dressed like a man?"
"But she still looks graceful like this!" The girl who had just been glanced at by Xie Xian blushed and exclaimed.
"This person is different from the rest of us. She is the Xie family's Lord Xing, and she has tens of thousands of Blackstone Guards under her command."
Xue Nanzhi interjected with a subtle tone, reminding everyone that Xie Xian was the King of Punishment, in command of a large army, and was not comparable to an ordinary girl in the boudoir.
"Wow! It's even more handsome when you think about it this way." Several girls gathered together.
Xue Nanzhi's face darkened slightly when she thought about the last time she was caught by Xie Xian and locked up for a long time, but in the end Xie Xian was too busy to pay attention to her and simply forgot about her.
After that, she was worried for a long time.
Xie Xian's seat was set on Meng's left. Meng was well aware of her husband's concerns, so she made careful arrangements.
But given Xie Xian's special status, although she is an unmarried young lady, she is different from those noble ladies who rely on their fathers and brothers. She holds military power and is a newly-appointed viscount by His Majesty, so she must be treated with more respect.
An independent desk was specially set up for her among the many noble ladies, so that on her left were the noble ladies of aristocratic families, and on her right were the mistresses of the respective families.
The boundaries were blurred, and although this arrangement caused some confusion among everyone, they were quickly accepted.
Madam Bai led Xie Xian and introduced the mistresses of the noble families one by one, including Cui, Wang, and Xie's married daughter.
The ladies were very kind to the lady Xie Xian, and Xie Xian was naturally good at dealing with elders.
"Madam Wang, the color combination of this jade hairpin is really beautiful."
"Cousin, how do you maintain such skin? You look only 27 or 28 years old!" Xie Xian used her eloquent tongue to make all the aunts and uncles smile happily. She praised her to the utmost, because she was young anyway.
Xie Xian was dressed in red and black today, which made her particularly eye-catching among the beautiful women in gorgeous clothes. Although she was aware of being flamboyant, her purpose of coming here was clear: to negotiate.
On the other side, the young men from various families in the elegant pavilion were also talking about the topic. As the only direct representative of the Xie family, Xie Jinyuan naturally became the focus.
Someone teased Xie Jinyuan: "Your second sister finally showed up. The rumored mistress of the Xie family turned out to be nothing special when you saw her in person."
"She's just a little girl." They usually see a lot of things outside, and Xie Xian's appearance is not outstanding.
Apart from the sharp and flamboyant eyebrows, there is nothing special about him.
Xie Jinyuan smiled and said, "Ah! Right, right!"
But in his heart, he secretly complained that it was not you who were lifted up by the neck. Thinking of the oppressive feeling that Xie Xian brought to him in class, he lowered his head and did not want to talk for another day.
He made up his mind not to make any comment. He was caught for gossiping about Xie Xian last time, and now he still has a psychological trauma.
