Chapter 135 Fan Wai 1 Xiao Baozi's Day Banquet, Xie Qin's Selection of Relatives

Everyone thanked the family's eldest brother for his good life. As soon as he was born, he was given the name by the emperor and the title of princess.

When Xie Rong was just born, he was only a little bigger than a palm.A pair of big eyes squeezed on the small face, as if they couldn't hold it anymore.

Xie Rongchu was a well-behaved boy when he was born, he loved to eat, he fell asleep when he ate, and he couldn't wake up even when he screamed. Seeing his appearance, Xie Huaiyu gave him the baby name Mian Geer.

Brother Mian grows when he sees the wind, one or two a day, and now in less than a hundred days, his body is covered in white lumps, and he grows white and fat like a bun, and his big eyes are squeezed into a slit.

"Brother Mian was only a little bit when he was born, but looking at it now, he is fat." Lin Shuyu smiled and squeezed Xie Rong's thigh.

Then Xie Qin also squeaked his fat belly and said: "His belly has a lot of meat, it's soft, layered on top of each other.

"Ahh—" Xie Rong kicked hard, kicked Xie Qin's arm, and waved his small fist in the air a few times, as if complaining about why the other party pinched his itchy flesh.

In order to get out of the clutches of these buddies, he exhausted all his strength and rolled over outside with a grunt.

It is completely different from when he was born, Brother Mian is full of energy and energy now, and he rolled from the head of the bed to the end of the bed if he didn't pay attention.

He kicked hard again, and suddenly there was nothing under his body. It turned out that Xie Rong had reached the edge of the bed at some point. Lin Shuyu and Xie Qin hurried to fish it, but there was no time to do it.

The moment they thought Xie Rong was about to fall to the ground, a wheat-colored arm caught him and lifted him up.

It turned out that Baizhu arrived in time!

"Why are you so dishonest, baby!" Bai Shu frowned and slapped Xie Rong's butt lightly twice, but with little strength, Xie Rong burst into tears.

"Don't cry." Bai Shu poked his little cheek and said, "Abba will take you to the room to play."

Brother Mian immediately stopped crying.

Bai Shu hugged Brother Mian with one arm, walked out of the house, jumped up to the roof with a few steps, and hugged Brother Mian to see the scenery in the yard.

"Brother Mian, look." Bai Shu pointed to the table in the garden and said, "That's where the banquet will be held, tomorrow will be your hundred-day banquet, there will be many people in Beijing to celebrate you! "

It is very popular in Beijing to hold a hundred-day banquet for children, but any decent family will hold this hundred-day banquet for their children.

However, those who host the hundred-day banquet are usually boys from the family. This is the first time everyone has seen a brother like Xie Rong host the hundred-day banquet.

This is what Xie Huaiyu asked for, and he only said that if other boys can do it, so can his own brother.

Xie Qin and Lin Shuyu had been preparing for the [-]-day banquet half a month ago, and the tables and tables in the courtyard had already been set up today.

At this time, little Xie Rong was concentrating on watching the scenery below from a height, and the whole person became quiet.

After a while, Bai Shu lowered his head to see that Xie Rong was sleeping in his arms with his eyes closed, breathing out his mouth one by one.

Then Bai Shu got down and handed the child to the wet nurse.

Xie Huaiyu came over at this time, sighed and said: "You have spoiled this child with bad habits now, it is easy to sleep on the roof, and he must be a naughty child in the future."

"When he grows up, I will teach him well so that he can develop his skills." Bai Shu said.

After hearing this, Xie Huaiyu hugged Bai Shu on his lap and said, "Teach him to be a cute little brother like you, and then release him. It's so good, I won't be afraid of being bullied."

"You have to be as smart as you." Bai Shu blinked and kissed Xie Huaiyu.

Xie Huaiyu's eyes darkened, he got up and closed the door.After several hours, the door was reopened, and at this time, the two of them changed into new clothes.

Lin Shuyu and Xie Qin were here to give Mian a gift for the [-]-day banquet in advance. Seeing such a scene, they couldn't help feeling hot and hid first.

"My brother and sister-in-law have all given birth to children, and the relationship is still so good, which is really enviable." Xie Qin said.

"You can marry someone like this in the future." Lin Shuyu said to Xie Qin.He himself is already like this, and he never counted on Xie Qi.

But Xie Qin is different, with Bai Shu and Xie Huaiyu making arrangements for him, he will definitely be able to marry well in the future.

When Mrs. Lou was there, she had engaged Xie Qin in a marriage contract, and was preparing to be a concubine for Mrs. Fang's second son.

But because Xie Qin was young and he was in the filial piety period at that time, he didn't go through the door for a while.

Unexpectedly, the Fang family rebelled with the eldest prince, and the whole family was punished.

Xie Qin didn't have time to marry, but escaped unharmed.

Now, Xie Qin has become a person without a marriage contract, and it was a blessing in disguise, so she can find a good family to be his first wife again.

"I'd rather be a poor man's wife than a rich man's concubine." Lin Shuyu said to Xie Qin: "With the Xie family's current status, although it is possible to marry you to those lords as concubines, your status is always inferior. The main room bows its head. It's better to choose a famous Gongsheng to marry, and there is still hope of prosperity in the future."

"Forget it." After hearing this, Xie Qin shook her head and said, "I'm just someone who doesn't like reading, what kind of tribute student can I marry? My husband's daily cares are also different from mine. It's better. If I choose an ordinary merchant family, I won’t dislike me for my lack of education.”

Xie Qin's idea is true, but he is not a descendant after all, and his relationship with Xie Huaiyu is also very ordinary.

Although he was very envious of Xie Ling marrying a man as he wished, he didn't have the dream of being able to pick anyone at will.

At this time, Xie Huaiyu and Bai Shu were sitting in the room, and they took out a stack of letters and threw them on the table, saying: "Fang's family has been copied and executed, and Xie Qin's marriage will be ruined, and I have to choose again. These are my The letters I have received recently are all asking to marry him, please help me find out, which one is better?"

Lou's family was also ransacked and beheaded, and Xie Qi's marriage was also ruined.

But for Xie Qi, Xie Huaiyu will not worry about it, so I will let Mr. Xie handle it himself.

Because of Lou's participation in the rebellion, Xie Qi's value has dropped a bit, and now even the daughter of the merchant family is unwilling to marry him.

Lord Xie helped him inquire for a few days, but he didn't bother to ask any more, so the matter was shelved.

As for Xie Qin, because of Xie Ling's generous dowry when she got married, she became the sweet spot that everyone inquired about.

Even the Gongmen who looked down on the concubine at all came to inquire about him and begged to marry him as a concubine.

Bai Shu opened those letters and read them one by one. Without hesitation, he picked out those letters that wanted Xie Qin to be his concubine, threw them aside and said: "Our brother of the Xie family will never be a concubine. In the future, these letters You don't even need to read it."

Xie Huaiyu smiled when he heard the words: "That's what I have already chosen. They are all high-ranking families, which Xie Qin could never touch in the past. How do you know that he doesn't want it?"

Bai Shu said without hesitation: "Xie Qin is not that kind of person. If he had a choice, he would certainly choose a good husband. And when I gave birth to my brother that day, he contributed a lot. He is not a brother of your compatriots, so neglect him."

Xie Huaiyu nodded hurriedly and said: "If Madam took care of it, then I will know. Everything about Xie Qin's marriage is under Madam's arrangement."

Then Bai Shu smiled and said, "Let me take a look. After all, I am familiar with him and know his wishes."

Xie Huaiyu doesn't care, Xie Qin is just a brother from the Xie family, and the number of times he has spoken to him can be counted on one hand.

As a family member, he will take care of him, but in the end he will not care more than his own brother.

Since Bai Shu has a good relationship with him, it is better to hand over his marriage to Bai Shu.

Bai Shu read the rest of the letters, all of which were asking Xie Qin to be his wife.

Some of them are the sons of ordinary merchants who have just obtained fame like Mr. You before, and some are offshoots of the big family without power.

Based on his impressions, he selected a few good ones, but suddenly a letter caught his attention.

These courtship letters are often the parents of the man's family who find a matchmaker and ask the matchmaker to write relevant information about the man.This letter, however, is different from the others, as it was written by the man himself.

The letter was written in ugly handwriting, and there were several obvious typos in it.

And the person who wrote the letter, Bai Shu, has met a few times. He is a centurion under Qi Qinyue, who was sent by him to Xie's house to guard the house.

The centurion's surname is Chang, and he was born in an ordinary peasant family. He was illiterate at first, but after joining the army, because of his loyalty, he was able to win Qi Qinyue's blue eyes by his side, so he followed Qi Qinyue to learn some words. .

But he is a rough man after all, so the letter he wrote is also in ugly handwriting.

Later, Qi Qinyue was promoted to the rank of general because of his meritorious service in rescuing him, and his capable men were also promoted one by one.

This centurion surnamed Chang was promoted to Chief Qian, at least he was considered a seventh-rank official.

"This Chang Qian is always interesting." After reading the letter, Bai Shu laughed and said, "I actually said that I saw Xie Qin and caught Na Lou, and thought he was very smart, so I fell in love with him at first sight."

"They are all military officers like this, and their words are more straightforward." Xie Huaiyu said: "Besides, swords have no eyes. If this military officer wants to be promoted, he has to go shopping in the battlefield. Therefore, anyone with a certain family background in Beijing Girls or brothers don’t wait to see a military officer, look at Qi Qinyue’s status. He was born with the title of general at a young age, and those who handed him letters in Beijing are those who sell their daughters for glory, the real pampered famous families A lady would not consider him."

"But without these generals, how could Daxuan be as safe as he is now?" Bai Shu said, "I think he is better than the others. At least he met Xie Qin and liked it, so he wrote this letter himself. There is also some love and courage.”

As Bai Shu said, he also picked out the letter and put it in the pile he picked out earlier.

He helped Xie Qin choose one side first, and let him choose the rest.This matter of marriage must not be forced together, lest there will be misfortune after marriage, if the two of them have some good feelings for each other, it is naturally the best...

The next day, Xie Rong's [-]-day banquet was scheduled to start at a quarter of noon.

Xie's family is in full swing now, Xie Huaiyu's wedding banquets are always coming.

A hundred copies of Xie Huaiyu's post were posted, but more than a hundred people came.

Some people who had never sent invitations at all also came with others to celebrate with Xie's family, and even brought expensive gifts.

The Xie family had no choice but to ask people to just stop them outside the mansion, so they had to let them all in.

All of a sudden, the ten empty tables prepared for the Hundred Days Banquet were all filled, and there were not even enough seats.

Xie Qin had no choice but to go to the house next door to borrow tables and benches, and set up twenty more tables.

At this time, people who are acquainted with each other squeeze each other again, and it is barely enough for everyone to sit down.

The Xie family's banquet, such a banquet, will certainly not be missing from such big families as the Wei family, Wen family, and Liu family.

The marriage between Wei Ling and Zhao Liang had already been scheduled for autumn, and at this time, the scenery was also in full swing, and they were always sought after wherever they went.

Compared with Wei Ling, although Liu Fangfei only booked a Hanlin, that Hanlin is a hero in the court and has a bright future.

Only the cousin surnamed Chen married by Wen Xiu'e from the Wen family stayed in Beijing, but Wen and Chen stood up to each other to find an errand for the Ministry of Rites.

But this person is not worth much use, he has been in the job for several months, and his relationship with his superiors and colleagues is not very good, and his future career promotion is also very limited.

Wen Xiu'e also had a sad face because of this matter.

Although he came with Mrs. Chen in the name of Mrs. Chen's wife, but when he arrived at Xie's house, he stayed with Mrs. Wen's side all the time, and separated from everyone in the Chen family.

Mrs. Chen didn't see anything on her face, and she didn't call her back.

It was only when Wen Xiu'e sat back at the banquet that Mrs. Chen said in a lukewarm sarcasm: "I guess it's because my Chen family is small, and it's not as grand as your Wen family, so you've been wronged. That's right, I heard that you originally booked the Wei family that day, but you chose my family because Wei Qiong was released, and you really had no choice but to..."

When Mrs. Chen said those words in front of everyone, she really stomped Wen Xiu'e's face on the ground.

Wen Xiu'e's face was flushed, her eyes were red and she said: "Mother misunderstood, there must be nothing wrong with this."

As he said that, he honestly helped Mrs. Chen prepare vegetables, pretending to be a virtuous and virtuous person.

After the banquet, Wen Xiu'e went back with Mrs. Chen early, and did not even attend the subsequent gatherings.

Seeing this, Liu Fangfei said to the others: "I heard that Wen Xiu'e's husband's family is not easy to get along with. It seems that she dislikes her too much in the past, but now she is locked at home every day and won't let her out. It’s hard to come to a wedding banquet today, but I just ate and left.”

"I heard that the wife of the Chen family is very powerful." Another person was listening, and immediately said: "My cousin also married into the Chen family. I heard that Mrs. Chen made Wen Xiu'e set the rules every day. Every day before dawn, I will get up to serve tea.

"But Wen Xiu'e is also very powerful." The man continued: "Since she entered the door, she has never contradicted her mother-in-law once. But she pretended to be pitiful in front of her husband, causing her husband and his mother to argue every day. In the big house, there are their quarrels every day."

"She is indeed the best at this." Liu Fangfei covered her mouth and smiled after hearing this.

Wei Ling was a little embarrassed, but she was also very thankful that Wen Xiu'e hadn't entered her Wei family's door, otherwise her Wei family's house would be in trouble now.

After they chatted for a while, Bai Shu came out holding Brother Mian who had woken up.

Except for Wei Ling, this is the first time for many people to see this famous little brother.

At this time, he saw that his complexion was snow-white, and a pregnant mole on his forehead was blood-red.

The outline of the eyes looks very similar to Xie Huaiyu, but the nose and mouth are exactly the same as Baizhu.

"This brother is so handsome!" Everyone couldn't help but fell in love with such a fat little doll.

Those who already had sons looked at Xie Rong as if they were looking at their future daughter-in-law, they couldn't move their eyes.

At this time, everyone took out the prepared gifts from their bosoms.

When they come to such a gathering, although their family has already prepared a congratulatory gift, according to the etiquette, they still have to prepare a private gift to show their friendship with Xie's family.

Liu Fangfei was the first to throw out the gift box in her hand, and when she opened it, there was a piece of beautiful jade inside.Carved into the shape of a pair of koi carps.

The fish is red and white, and its color is very similar to koi carp, which makes the jade carving come alive.

Everyone was amazed when they saw it, Brother Mian also seemed to like it very much, and immediately reached out to grab it.

Afraid that he would knock the jade ornaments, Bai Shu quickly closed the box and asked Xie Qin to put it away for him.

After Liu Fangfei finished delivering, Wei Ling took out the congratulatory gifts she brought.

What Wei Ling prepared this time was a set of gold utensils for catching Zhou, including a golden abacus, a golden brush, etc. It was said that it was for Xie Rong to use when he was one year old.

Seeing Xie Rong at this time, his eyes were even more excited, pointing at the pile of gold utensils and screaming, he kicked forward suddenly, and grabbed a golden abacus and a golden sword.

When everyone saw it, they laughed and said: "It seems that this kid has followed Brother Bai, and he is good at both business and kung fu. He is really good."

Bai Shu smiled, took the things out of Xie Rong's hands, and told Xie Qin to put them away.

As soon as the two of them made a move like this, the congratulatory gifts from the people behind them seemed less unique.

Most of the gifts from people are gold locks, bells and other items worn by children, which are also very valuable.

However, there are also a few families who are the family members of the new ministers, and the family does not have much financial resources, so they have to send small pockets, tiger-head hats, thousand-soled shoes and other things embroidered by themselves.

Bai Shu didn't treat them differently because these things were cheap, but thought they were very useful, and kept them all carefully, which made the relatives of these new ministers feel very fond of them.

I just feel that although Brother Bai belongs to a family, he still has a mandate.

But he is humble and prudent, and treats people with sincerity, which makes people sincerely admire him.

The party lasted until You o'clock in the afternoon, and it was inconvenient for everyone to stay and continue eating, so they found excuses to leave by car one by one.

Only then did Xie Qin put away her things, and followed Bai Shu back to the room.

After putting all the congratulatory gifts received on the table, Xie Qin took out a small cloth bag from her arms and said, "Sister-in-law, I made this for Brother Mian. It's not good, but the material is good. It’s hot, so you can wear whatever you want.”

Bai Shu was overjoyed, took it and took a look, it turned out that the cloth bag contained a set of silk and satin clothes.The top and bottom are still open crotch pants.

The material is fine silk, soft and light.The corners are tightly sealed with stitches and threads. Although it is not very neat, it is also careful to look at it.

"The clothes are very good. I will give them to the nurse in a while, and I will wear them in a few days." Bai Shu said.

After hearing this, Xie Qin breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at the congratulatory gifts sent by those people today, all of which were of great value.

Even needlework is an excellent item for embroidery.

Compared with them, the little clothes I made in my hands were too rough.

Xie Qin now has 80 taels of silver a month, so she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing at Xie's house. After deducting normal expenses, she can still save 60 taels a month.

But even so, he has only saved money for more than a year now, and he only has a few hundred taels of silver in his hands, and he has to save all of it as a dowry, which is indeed quite small.

Bai Shu knew that he had no money, so he naturally didn't think his gift was bad.

He said to Xie Qin: "In this way, your marriage has to be considered. It just so happens that your brother gave me some letters, and some of the men in it are not bad. Let's choose for you today."

Xie Qin was taken aback, never expecting that Bai Shu would hand over the power of choice to himself in this way.

He was very excited, and the eyes that looked at Bai Shu seemed to radiate light.

He just stuttered and said: "Sister-in-law...I choose...the order of my parents and the words of the matchmaker...Is it really possible for me to choose?"

Bai Shu smiled and said, "Just say to the outside world that I can help you choose. Who will know if you choose in private? It's just to pick someone you like, so that you can be your future husband, and it won't be too late. He's a man who makes me loathe."

After finishing speaking, Bai Shu put the stack of letters he had chosen in front of Xie Qin and said, "I have already selected these for you. I have selected all those who want to take you as concubine. Although they are high-ranking Weight, but if you really marry in the past, life in the future will be difficult."

"Of course I know that sister-in-law is kind to me." Xie Qin nodded hurriedly.

Even Xie Huaiyu's younger brothers were reluctant to marry those people as concubines. Although Xie Qin was not smart, he would not be so stupid as to only look at the man's conditions.

Xie Qin opened those letters and read them one by one, trying to recall the impression of these people in his mind.

Bai Shu selected for him, all of them were good-natured, upright, about the same age and promising.

Xie Qin was moved, but hesitated, not knowing which family he should choose.

If these objects were placed in the past, any one of them would make his heart ecstatic.

But now that it is placed in front of him like this for him to choose, Xie Qin is a little confused and doesn't know which one to choose.

After thinking for a long time, Xie Qin made up his mind and said: "Sister-in-law, although I have impressions of these people, I have never met them, and I don't know what they are like."

"It was my sister-in-law who helped me choose, so I ask sister-in-law to help me make a decision. Who should I marry? Xie Qin is willing to rely entirely on sister-in-law's arrangement."

Bai Shu raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect Xie Qin to choose, but hesitated, and finally had to make this decision by herself.

Bai Shu thought for a while, then picked out the letter from Mr. Chang Qian, put it in front of Xie Qin, and said, "If I were to choose, this person would be the best."

Xie Qin was taken aback, and her heart skipped a beat.

This Chang Qianzong was the only one among these letters that he didn't like.The handwriting is bad, and he is a military officer. I don't know who it is, but my sister-in-law thinks this person is the best.

Seeing Xie Qin's expression, Bai Shu knew that he was not satisfied with Mr. Chang Qian, so he said, "If you don't like it, you can choose someone else. This is my suggestion, and I don't force it."

"No." Xie Qin hurriedly said: "I just don't understand why my sister-in-law thinks this person is the best, and I want to ask my sister-in-law to clarify my doubts."

Seeing him, Bai Shu said casually, "You have met Mr. Chang Qian before. It is the sergeant who was on duty at Xie's house before. The two of you should have had a lot of communication."

When Bai Shu said this, Xie Qin thought about it, and a tall and burly young man appeared in his mind.

The young man was well-proportioned, tall, and had the unrestrained temperament unique to a sergeant.At that time, I communicated with him a lot, but I didn't expect that he would be promoted to Chief Qian and even personally send a letter.

Thinking of this, Xie Qin's face couldn't stop turning red.

When Bai Shu saw him, he knew that he did not reject Mr. Chang Qian in his heart, so he smiled and said, "Although Mr. Chang Qian is a general, he is a decent man, and he fell in love with you at first sight. I think he will treat you well in the future."

"He was born in a farming family, and his family is simple. Now his parents are in his hometown, and he has bought a house in Beijing. After you get married, you will live with him and make your own decisions."

At this time, Xie Qin's heart was already moved.Bai Shu then poured cold water on him again: "Just marrying a general is not all good. As a general, he can't help himself. He has to serve the court. In the future, he will inevitably go out to fight with General Qi. You have to realize that."

Hearing this, Xie Qin hesitated again, and after a while, she nodded as if she had made up her mind and said, "I would like to listen to your advice on this matter, and choose Mr. Chang Qian."

"Have you thought it through?" Bai Shu asked after hearing the words.

"I've already thought about it." Xie Qin nodded: "Marriage is like this, how can there be such a perfect thing? Just like sister-in-law and elder brother, they have gone through many hardships to be relaxed today. Now This Changqianhu is already a perfect person, and I can't be too greedy."

Bai Shu nodded in his heart, although this Xie Qin is not very capable, but he is very capable, so he is not someone to worry about.

If you get married in the future, you must have a good life...

The author has something to say: Xie Qin’s story line ends here, it can be regarded as an explanation for this character, so I won’t write in detail later~
