The bad man who is a womanizer, go on a blind date in a hurry
Chapter 181 Undercurrents in Xie's Mansion
Beijing.
The Xie family also started the New Year’s Eve dinner.
There were nine tables of food in the huge hall; the Xie family was a large clan.
On this festive occasion, everyone was talking and laughing happily. In such a lively occasion, Xie Jingran felt very lonely.
He looked at the next table and saw the current head of the family's aunt toasting with other aunts and uncles.
There was no longer a seat for my mother at that table.
At the table where he was sitting, the second father who was the head of the family was the leader, and the other fathers tried their best to please him. The second father's sons also acted like spoiled children to their own fathers.
A child without a father is like a weed.
Xie Jingran, the true legitimate son of the Xie family, is so lonely.
"I wonder what Miss Lu is doing at this time." Xie Jingran, who was ignored by everyone, thought about Lu Yao by himself.
'She must be eating, right? She loves pork ribs the most. Will she show off her cooking skills at home and make a delicious chicken for her family at the New Year's Eve dinner?'
"Hey! What wonderful things are you thinking about, brother? You have a smile on your face all the time."
Xie Jingran's half-brother, Xie Jingqi, the biological son of Xie Erdie, asked in a sarcastic tone.
"How can Brother Jingran not be happy? He has to go to the palace early tomorrow morning. Which son of the Xie family can get such an honor!"
As soon as Xie Jingqi opened his mouth, his other half brothers who wanted to please him would naturally join in.
Xie Jingran looked at the boy who joined in the discussion. He seemed to be Fourth Father's son. It seemed that he was Xie Jingqi's little follower.
“This is not difficult. As long as you can be reborn as the legitimate son of the Xie family, you can go.” Xie Jingran said to them with a smile.
Xie Jingqi and his younger half brother were choked.
It’s because they are not legitimate sons, so they can’t go, so they are jealous!
But Xie Jingran knew that this was their sore spot, but he still said it out loud without any mercy.
What do you mean as long as you are reborn as the legitimate son of the Xie family, you can go? What about the illegitimate sons? Will they be reborn again after death?
Xie Jingqi was angry and jealous.
After hearing what the children said, Second Father Xie glared at his son quietly, then put on a gentle and kind smile and said to Xie Jingran:
"Jingran, are you ready to enter the palace tomorrow?"
"Return to Daddy, everything is ready."
"That's good. It is also an honor for our Xie family that you can enter the palace to attend the New Year banquet." Second Father Xie said with a smile, but a strong sense of jealousy flashed through his heart.
The emperor of the Feng Dynasty would hold a family banquet for Queen Feng on the first day of every year.
At that time, the Queen's family members will be invited to a banquet to show respect and love for the Queen.
Such family banquets usually invite the queen's parents, brothers and sisters, or close relatives.
It not only gives Queen Phoenix an opportunity to reunite with her family, but it is also a grace from heaven for those who are invited.
The current Queen Phoenix is the elder brother of Xie Jingran’s father, and Xie Jingran’s uncle, so they are very closely related by blood.
Xie Jingran was originally very much loved by Queen Feng. When his father was alive, he often went to banquets with his father.
Now that Uncle Xie is gone, Queen Feng feels pity for her nephew and still invites Xie Jingran to attend the family dinner on the first day of the new year.
Xie Erdie and his other half brothers were jealous of this!
What a great honor it is to be able to meet the Emperor and the Empress!
If you can gain favor, you can find a better family to marry into in the future.
What's more, those who attend the banquet are all real prominent families, so it would be nice to go and show your face and make some friends.
If I could be noticed by a princess or a noble lady at a banquet, wouldn't that mean I could be married to a rich man?
Unfortunately, they are all bastards and have no right to go.
So jealous!
Even after the New Year's Eve dinner, Xie Jingqi was still sulking about this matter.
Second Father Xie comforted him, "Silly child, he has to go. Only when he goes, he will appear more noble, and the Fang family will think more highly of him."
Although the Xie family is also a wealthy and powerful family, they are not very conspicuous in the capital city where the powerful and wealthy are everywhere and nobles are as numerous as dogs.
In the past, Xie Jingran's mother was a powerful official in Beijing. In addition, Xie Jingran's father was the current Queen Mother, so the Xie family was quite prosperous in the capital.
Unfortunately, in the past few years, Xie Jingran's mother and father passed away one after another, and the Xie family has no other outstanding senior officials or descendants for the time being. It can be said that the Xie family's ranking has declined seriously.
The Xie family began to show signs of being a hollow shell.
Under such circumstances, the elders of the Xie family paid more attention to their children's marriages, hoping to maintain the status of the Xie family through various marriages.
For this reason, the marriage of Xie Jingran, the most honorable legitimate son of the Xie family, is of paramount importance.
The Xie family tried every possible means to arrange a marriage for him with the second daughter of the Fang family, the current Minister of Revenue.
The Minister of Revenue was a second-rank official, and his family had a daughter, Shu Guijun, who was very favored in the harem.
Today, the Fang family is at its peak and very powerful.
He vaguely looked down on the legitimate son of the Xie family.
That was why the elders of the Xie family hoped that Xie Jingran would go to the palace to attend the banquet on the first day of the new year, show his face more often, and raise his status so that the Fang family would look at him with higher regard.
"My son, think about it more positively. If he wins face, it means he wins face for our whole family. You will also benefit from it in the future." Second Father Xie comforted Xie Jingqi.
"I just don't like the way he is! Why should he get all the good things first? I'm no worse than him!" Xie Jingqi was dissatisfied.
He is two years younger than Xie Jingran, and has loved comparing himself with Xie Jingran since childhood.
Unfortunately, whether in appearance or talent and talent, Xie Jingran is always better than him.
After growing up and becoming sensible, Xie Jingqi finally understood that he could never compare to Xie Jingran because of their birth and the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children.
This made him even more jealous.
Seeing that Xie Jingran, who had lost his parents, was able to marry the daughter of a second-rank official in the court and even attend Queen Feng's family banquet, Xie Jingqi was so angry!
"It's obvious that you are the head of the family now." Xie Jingqi said unconvinced.
"Silly child, he is just a front-line fighter. As long as the marriage with the Fang family can be settled, my son will naturally get well.
I am your biological father, I will definitely be on your side."
