Mrs. Chen's birthday party, the Xie family's female relatives will definitely go to.
In fact, Mrs. Chen didn't plan to have a grand party, but Chen Bo was transferred to the capital this spring, so her birthday party was particularly crucial.
Officials and wives of similar levels in the capital must always be invited, which is also a good opportunity to build relationships.
Because Chen Bo's official rank is displayed here, the ladies and ladies that Mrs. Chen can invite are all similar to her.
However, the Chen family also has some foundation in the capital. The old man still holds the empty title of Third Grade, so some old friends come to support him.
Liu Ruolan brought Xie Rongzhao over to celebrate his birthday, which was quite conspicuous.
After Xie Rongzhao saluted and said hello, Chen Jiaojiao led him out to talk to a group of girls.
Xu Ruyi came earlier than them. She brought the concubine Queen Qin'er here just to see if there was a suitable marriage.
Wang Qin'er himself also knew that her status was embarrassing. As long as she was the eldest daughter of a concubine, the wives of high-ranking families would not choose her to be the wife of a concubine.
Wang Qin'er feels that she has grown up and gained knowledge. If her mother is not willing to help her, then she will make her own choice.
When Wang Qin'er saw Chen Jiaojiao and Xie Rongzhao together, she rolled her eyes and quickly got close to them.
"Sister Zhao, I haven't seen you for a while. I heard that you went to Zhuangzi with Brother Xie. When did you come back?"
Xie Rongzhao smiled: "I've been back a long time ago, but I was disobedient and caught wind, so I raised it at home for a few days."
Chen Jiaojiao's face changed slightly: "Why didn't I know when it happened? You girl, too, didn't tell me when she was sick. Are you feeling better now?"
Chen Jiaojiao said while touching her forehead.
Xie Rongzhao turned around slightly and held her wrist: "Don't worry, Sister Jiaojiao, I'm fine."
After saying this, he didn't forget to wink at her.
When Chen Jiaojiao saw her expression, she knew it was intentional.
"Well, that's good. Let's go sit over there. We can still see the red carp in the pond."
While a few people were chatting and laughing, two more girls came up to them. When they arrived at the pavilion, there were already eight or nine girls.
Xie Rongzhao is considered young, and Chen Jiaojiao is already of age to get married after all. Most of the people who came today are similar to her age.
Wang Qin'er was not familiar with these ladies either, but thanks to Chen Jiaojiao's introduction.
However, when the ladies heard that Wang Qin'er was a concubine, the eagerness in their eyes dimmed a lot.
Xie Rongzhao also understood this.
The more powerful the family, the more emphasis they place on concubines.
Xie Rongzhao's relationship with Wang Qin'er was average, and he never thought of helping her out. For Wang Jin's uncle's sake, he just had to deal with it openly.
Someone prepared something in the pavilion, and everyone discussed playing hut.
Xie Rongzhao is not very good at this game. After two rounds, he was eliminated early.
Xie Rongzhao had no intention of being in the limelight here. After all, today was Mrs. Chen's birthday party, and the main purpose was to make friends with the ladies and ladies in the capital. She didn't want to attract too much attention.
It is enough to have a beautiful father who is popular in the court. She and her mother-in-law only need to be the vases to accompany them.
"Hey, Sister Zhao, I really haven't seen you for a long time."
Xie Rongzhao looked up and saw that the person speaking was Xie Chunhua.
Not only her, there was also a girl standing next to her who looked beautiful but had not so kind eyes.
"It turns out to be Sister Chunhua. I haven't seen you for a long time. Who is this?"
"What? Miss Xie is really forgetful. We haven't seen each other for just a few days, but Miss Xie doesn't remember me?"
Last year, Liu Ruolan took Xie Rongzhao to Xie's house on Anhe Street for a banquet. Logically speaking, they had seen each other then and shouldn't forget them.
But the problem is that Xie Rongzhao is not willing to associate with Xie Huaiyi's family at all, so naturally he doesn't care much about it.
As for Xie Chunhua, it was because she and Zhao Ying had known each other for a long time that they became somewhat familiar with each other.
"I'm really sorry. Please forgive my sister for being blind. Today, this sister is very beautifully dressed, but I didn't recognize her."
Xie Rongzhao was not someone to be trifled with. Her tone was unkind as soon as she opened her mouth. She did not have the kindness to compromise herself to help others.
Xie Chunhua on the side lowered his head and suppressed a smile. Xie Rongzhao's mouth looked like it was filled with honey when it was sweet, and when it was really irritating, it also looked like it had a knife in its mouth.
"Hmph! Don't do this, I think you are obviously a noble person who forgets things a lot. You visited our house a few years ago and now you don't remember me?"
No matter how stupid Xie Rongzhao is, she can guess that it must be a certain lady from the Xie family, but there are too many girls in the Xie family, and there are several of them of the same age and different generations, so she really can't recognize them all.
"I know that my sister is from the Xie Mansion, but Sister Chunhua has so many sisters that I didn't recognize you for a moment."
I’ve been talking for a long time, why don’t you introduce yourself first?
Isn't it interesting that we have to talk in such a roundabout way?
Xie Chunning was angry, but he was unwilling to take the initiative to tell his name, as if he was ordinary.
"My good sister, please don't be angry. Sister Zhao is young, and our family does have a lot of people. It's normal for her to be unable to remember for a while."
Xie Chunhua smoothed things over and said, "Sister Zhao, this is my cousin Chunning. You met her last year, but because there were so many people, you might not have been able to talk."
Xie Rongzhao suddenly realized with a look on his face: "Oh, it turns out to be Sister Chunning. I apologize to you here. I really didn't recognize you just now. Please forgive me."
Xie Rongzhao is slightly blessed, but in front of so many girls, Xie Chunning seems to be a little unreasonable.
After all, even Xie Chunhua said that although he had met him at the Xie family, he had never spoken to him at all. How could Xie Rongzhao know which member of the Xie family you were?
Xie Chunning blushed with anger, but had no choice but to sit aside angrily.
Xie Rongzhao turned his back to her and bared his teeth. This was so popular.
Xie Chunhua smiled and patted her hand: "I remember that you weren't very good at throwing pot, but you were quite addicted?"
Chen Jiaojiao came over and said with a smile: "Sister Zhao is indeed not very good at playing. But she also said that if she practices more, she will definitely beat us next time."
As soon as he finished speaking, the girls burst into laughter.
Thanks to his young age and thick skin, Xie Rongzhao just laughed along stupidly.
Although Mrs. Chen held her birthday party in the garden this time, she still had an extra thought.
There were two tables in the twin pavilions, just enough for the girls to sit down, and a group of ladies sat in the flower hall opposite them. The flower hall was surrounded by wooden doors on all sides, all of which could be dismantled.
Now that the doors facing the girls are all removed, ladies can also take a closer look at the ladies there.
"Hey, that girl in the aqua blue skirt is so pretty. She looks blessed. I wonder which girl she is from?"
Mrs. Chen San, who had arrived late, was the first to speak out. She was thinking about marrying her son, and she immediately fell in love with the one she liked.
