Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

Chapter 211 The Lame Goose

Matchmaker Zhang was talking to Xie Chengyi about the things that should be paid attention to when dealing with Najib. When they got to the important part, Xie Chengyin walked in from the door.

Matchmaker Zhang stopped talking and bowed to Xie Chengyin, "Meet Young Marquis Xie."

Xie Chengyin's gaze did not linger on her. His sight swept across the red box filled with Najib gifts placed in the yard, and finally fell on the pair of wild geese covered with golden feathers trapped in the cage.

Seeing someone approaching, the two wild geese moved their bodies uneasily.

But the space in the cage was limited, and the two geese were fat, so there was not much room for them to move.

As soon as they moved, a few golden feathers appeared through the gaps in the cage.

Xie Chengyin stood beside the cage and raised his hand to pull the golden feather that was sticking out of the cage.

With a "ga" sound, the wild goose cried out in pain. The loud and high-pitched cry startled both Xie Chengyi and Zhang the Matchmaker, and they both looked over here.

Xie Chengyin not only plucked off a golden feather, but also the goose's gray-white feathers.

No wonder the geese cry.

Xie Chengyi smiled, walked to Xie Chengyin and said, "Do you like this golden feather? If you like it, I will prepare two for you when you get married."

Xie Chengyin held the golden feather in his hands, his eyes full of interest. "It's too fancy, not to my taste, but it's very suitable for the one from the Xiao family."

The person from the Xiao family he was referring to was Xiao Yizhui.

People outside thought that the two daughters of the Xiao family, the eldest daughter Xiao Yizhen, liked luxury, while the second daughter Xiao Yizhu liked simplicity. But this is not true.

It's true that Xiao Yizhen likes luxury, but Xiao Yizhu doesn't like simplicity. She is forced to be simple.

No matter whether it was beautiful clothes or luxurious jewelry at home, Xiao Yizhen was always the first to pick them. In the end, only those with simple styles and plain colors were left. Xiao Yizhen knew that she was not as popular with her father as her elder sister, so she could only behave more obedient and sensible. Naturally, she would not tell her father about these little things.

Over time, everyone thought that Xiao Yizhui liked simple and elegant things. However, Xiao Yizhui, who had been outshined by her sister Xiao Yizhen since childhood, actually loved those gorgeous and dazzling things.

Because she had never had them before, those gorgeous things were like an obsession in her heart. She herself was afraid that she couldn't tell whether she really liked them or not.

Xie Chengyi knew that Xiao Yizhui was having a hard time living in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he also knew that most of the gifts sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion would not reach Xiao Yizhui, but no matter what, these two wild geese would eventually reach Xiao Yizhui.

So he used the method of the golden-feathered wild goose, preparing to give Xiao Yiju some money in disguise, but he didn't expect that it would actually suit Xiao Yiju's preferences.

However, when Xie Chengyin saw the two wild geese wearing gold and silver, other ideas came to his mind.

It is definitely impossible for the two families to cancel the engagement in one go, and opportunities need to be accumulated bit by bit.

The so-called quantitative change leads to qualitative change. An insignificant little thing may not cause any consequences, but what about five, ten or even more things?

Xie Chengyin placed the golden feather in Xie Chengyi's hand and said, "Brother, please glue it back."

Xie Chengyi looked at the lonely Jin Yu, then at his brother's graceful back as he left, and shook his head helplessly.

Soon, it was the day for the Xie and Xiao families to get married.

Xie Chengyin got up early, dressed up carefully, and had someone take Najib's gift to the prime minister's residence.

Originally, he wanted to bring his younger brother Xie Chengyin with him. After all, it was a major event in his life, and his younger brother was his most important relative. He still hoped that his younger brother could witness the process.

But when she thought about the fact that her younger brother had been against this marriage from the very beginning, she turned back after reaching the door of Xie Chengyin's room.

He knew that his younger brother was a stubborn person and would not change his mind once he made a decision. Although his attitude softened a little after they communicated, he was still worried that his younger brother might cause some unexpected trouble after going to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he did not call Xie Chengyin.

After Xie Chengyi and his men left the Marquis' Mansion, Xie Chengyin pushed open the door and walked out. He stretched lazily, with an evil smile on his lips.

Although Naji didn't need to hold a grand wedding, the prime minister's residence still prepared several tables of banquets and invited some relatives and friends to come and have fun.

When Xie Chengyi came to the door, Xiao Dingyan brought people to greet him.

The two men were of similar age and were about to become brother-in-law and sister-in-law. After meeting, they exchanged a few pleasantries and became familiar with each other.

Neither of them mentioned the unpleasantness that had happened before. They were a family from now on, so they put the past behind them.

The prime minister's residence was very lively. All the relatives and friends who came to the banquet were attracted by the pair of golden wild geese and kept praising the marquis for his thoughtfulness.

Xiao Yizhui came in a gorgeous dress, walking lightly with lotus steps and a decent smile on her face. She looked at Xie Chengyi who was surrounded by the crowd, and her smile was shy and sweet.

Without Xiao Yizhen to highlight her mediocrity, Xiao Yizhu can finally become the most dazzling person in the crowd.

A few children were running and playing in the crowd. When they saw the rare wild geese, they all ran to the cage, surrounded the cage and looked at the geese. Some even wanted to reach out and touch them.

But as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was pulled back by the adults in the family.

At this time, a child spoke up, his voice full of surprise, "That wild goose is lame."

As soon as these words were spoken, the bustling crowd around suddenly quieted down. The child's parents panicked and covered their child's mouth, saying "children's words are innocent" and walked away with the child.

But the onlookers couldn't help but carefully observe the geese in the cage.

At this glance, people also noticed the lame goose.

"He's really lame."

"That's right, why didn't I notice it just now?"

"But what does it mean to send a lame wild goose? Is there any hint?"

"Does the Marquis' Mansion know that the goose they sent is lame?"

"Who knows? This is really the first time I've seen it."

The whispered discussions in the crowd reached the ears of the Xiao family.

Originally, it was nothing that the goose had a lame leg. After all, it was just a metaphor and symbol, meant for good luck and fortune during the Najib era.

Unfortunately, the heroine Xiao Yizhui also has some problems with her legs and feet. Although it is not known to outsiders, those relatives and friends who know her well have also heard about it.

Xiao Yizhui heard that the Xie family had always included a pair of golden-feathered geese in the gift, and was happily coming over to take a look. But before she could see the geese, she heard this.

Suddenly, he was filled with anger and strode towards the wild goose in the cage.

She wanted to confirm whether the goose was lame or not, and whether someone was deliberately mocking her or it was just rumor.

Surrounded by a group of people, the wild geese huddled together, shrank in fear with their heads hidden in their dense feathers. From a distance, they looked like a big golden egg.

Xiao Yizhui walked through the crowd and went straight to the cage. Without saying a word, he opened the cage, reached in and grabbed one of the cages.

The goose struggled, kicking its legs and flapping its wings, and its shiny golden feathers made a rustling sound.
