Chapter 38: The Banquet of the Money Village

The village has three floors, and the first floor is half a street wide. When the little maid at the door saw that Mrs. was coming, the smile on her face never faded, and she also nodded to Jiang Yanling, who followed behind, so attentive that she didn't know where to put her eyes.

There were not many people on the first floor of Qianzhuang, and the dark green velvet blanket with twisted gold silk was spread on the ground, swallowing the footsteps of the group clean. On both sides of the corridor are the director's cherry wood tables, and on the back wall are long openwork cabinets in the shape of abacus.

On the painted wall at the end of the corridor, there is also a huge gold plaque with the word "Xie".

Jiang Yanling squinted at Jin Guang, and said in his heart that this is really a luxury that can make people blind.

However, this extravagance is spacious, but the back of the director's table is empty, and the people in cloth clothes are not even seen.

As soon as she thought like this, she listened to the little servant say diligently: "In order to make the lady and several people in charge cleaner, the main person in charge will send away all the unnecessary today, and the money village will not be closed for half a day." ”

Madame glanced at him: "It's all here?" ”

He nodded again and again: "The half-light tea time of the three people in charge arrived before the time, and a few people are waiting in the tea hall on the second floor." ”

Madame pulled her lips and laughed: "It's embarrassing for them, a few anxious people have been waiting for so long." ”

How dare the little girl chew the root of her tongue with her, she can only pretend not to listen.

Jiang Yanling was a little nervous when she heard this open gun and hidden arrow, but she didn't let her be nervous for too long, and several people went up to the second floor and stopped in front of a half-moon door.

Xiao Er pulled up the curtain for a few people, and bowed down to the side.

Behind the door on the second floor is a large hall with a table and banquet that is full. When several people pushed the door in, all the people in the hall got up, swept their eyes together, and after stopping on Mrs. for a while, they all gathered on Jiang Yanling.

Xu was aware of the sudden stiffness of her body, and Long Su gently grabbed one of her arms, and her tone was still low: "Miss's body is still weak, let the slave and maid hold you." It was intended to be comforting, and it was also a warning to her not to show her timidity in front of her.

She shook it back and nodded slightly, "Okay." ”

Longxu is indeed too worried - she Jiang Yanling is from a professional class, and if she wants to work in front of the scene, she has to do everything without leaking, how can she easily show her timidity.

Now she is holding this girl's hand, but because the skirt is too much of a hindrance, she doesn't want to fall in front of everyone.

With a support, she didn't need to pay too much attention to the pace, and turned her attention to the people at the banquet.

Maybe it's because this banquet is just for entertainment, and there are not many people who come, leaving aside the waiting, there are only eight people on the left behind the banquet.

The tables are arranged in a zigzag pattern. The three members of the Xie family occupy a high position in the center, and the two sides are arranged from high to low status. The people closest to the Xie family were also the ones who looked at her with the most complicated eyes.

- One of them, a chubby man in a royal blue shirt and two small beards, was particularly malicious.

Gaze intertwined with his transience. She thought for a moment, and felt that there was no will of the lady at the moment, and it was better for her to keep to herself first, so she pretended not to read his malice and looked away.

Madame sat in the center, and Jiang Yanling shared the table with Xie Yingyi, and sat behind the slightly longer table on one side.

Two maids took care of her cumbersome skirt behind her; The cascading skirt was sprinkled on the ground with a lotus.

"I've seen the lady in charge." Everyone shook their heads.

Madame took off the bracelet on her wrist and rested it on the table: "You're welcome, sit down." ”

Nan Hongzhu and Mahogany struck each other, and there was a muffled sound.

"Mrs. Xie."

As soon as a few people sat down, several eyes became more and more presumptuous, as if they vowed to rely on a pair of eyes to see Jiang Yanling's origin and bottom clearly.

She was calm and calm on her face, but in fact, she already held a thin layer of sweat in her palm, and saw Xie Yingyun take a sip of the tea cup on the table, and also took a sip of the tea in front of her as he did to cover it up.

…… Bitter to death.

Her face hidden behind the teacup was wrinkled with bitterness, and when she put it down, she had a thunderous look, and her expression was quite well managed.

Xie Yingyun raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at her.

Feeling his gaze, she squeezed out a smile at him: "This tea is very good." ”

"Yes. I feel a little bitter. ”

Bosom friend. She was so moved that tears came down her face.

"But it doesn't hurt if it's to your liking." He took a long time to observe her bitter brows, which were still trembling, "Longxu, the tea is full." ”

Long Su saluted: "Yes." ”

"If you don't have enough to drink, let them do it."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

She silently watched the tea fill her small teacup again, and the tip of her tongue couldn't stop being bitter: "Thank you, brother." "Thank you to his whole family.

Xie Yingyun looked back at the banquet lightly: "You and my brother and sister, you don't have to say thank you." ”

Her tears turned from emotion to grief.

This man's heart is absolutely black when it is cut open.

At this time, Madame has also staggered a little half round with a few people in charge.

Jiang Yanling paid a little attention. The short-bearded man in the sapphire blue robe was named Lin Xiangcheng, and he was the chief manager of the Sanjin Yuan Imperial City Branch. Unlike the other two in charge, he is neither humble nor arrogant in front of his wife, and I don't know if it is because of his temperament or if he has other plans.

"Madame hasn't come forward for a long time, but when I see it today, it's really the edge and demeanor that haven't diminished at all." The head of Yangzhou got up to toast tea.

"Cheng Xu is in charge of good words." Mrs. smiled and picked up the teacup, "It's just that the years are not forgiving, and I have been dealing with the affairs of the upper and lower levels recently, and I am a little weak." ”

When several people heard this, they all quietly glanced at Xie Yingyu.

When this little grandfather Xie was still a marquis, he was a man who blocked people from killing people and devouring them like gluttony, but since he inexplicably retired from the Hou position five years ago, he suddenly let go, and he didn't care about all the affairs of the Xie family, and started to be an idle young master.

It's just a matter of worrying - in addition to the well-known four major villages of the Xie family, there used to be a casino under the Xie family, called "Qingsefang", and the business was a monopoly at that time, but in the year after the Xie family's abdication, it was brutally defeated by this idle young master.

Xie Yingyun raised his eyes slightly, and was so startled that the people hurriedly lowered their heads, and at the same time couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Xie family's business, this is to have no successor.

If you win face in front of your wife, wouldn't you have a chance to get a piece of the pie?

Yangzhou Xu Zhangshi coughed lightly: "How can the years treat Mrs. badly?" It's just that your family has a big business, and it is inevitable to be tired. ”

Mrs. smiled and took a sip of tea: "No wonder Mrs. Xu is full of spring every day, it was Xu Zhangshi who coaxed her with a wonderful mouth." The chief scolded, and then she continued, "But it is true that I am in charge of all these affairs, and it is too much work. ”

When everyone heard this, their faces became subtle, and they all said that this was to identify the new leader, or to promote the existing one to the top.

I don't know who will put this big meat full of oil and water into the bag.

"That'...... I don't know what Madame wantsβ€”"

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have to throw this stall to my little daughter."
