Shen Ye looked at the old man in front of him. He didn't speak for a long time. He felt worse and worse!
It's not going well at the beginning. What's going on in the back?
"Master Shen Ye, please follow me."
Unexpectedly, the man in front of him personally led Shen Ye in. However, careful observation will find that a complex expression flashed on the man's face.
Shen Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, nothing happened.
"Thank you. I don't know what you call it."
"My name is Xia Da. I'm the thirteen housekeepers in the mansion. I'm specially responsible for etiquette reception."
Xia Da lightly explained to Shen Ye.
"Well, I see."
Shen Ye is a little surprised. It's thirteen housekeepers. How many people in the family need so many housekeepers.
After entering the manor with Xia Da, you can see all kinds of rare and precious green plants, as well as all kinds of strange ornamental stones and distinctive court buildings.
Shen Ye looked at the layout in the manor and asked, "this is not a summer star famous for science and technology. Why doesn't the mansion build a modern style with a strong sense of science and technology? Instead, it is built in a retro style?"
"You don't know. Our Xia family is a famous family. Naturally, we should pay great attention to all aspects. Naturally, the more high-tech the houses we live in, the better. However, the courtyard is more retro and pleasant, which also has a scientific basis."
"Oh, that makes sense."
Shen Ye nodded.
Before long, Xia Da took Shen Ye to the back garden of the manor. At this time, a tea party was set up in the garden.
Luxurious white jade tables are scattered, with all kinds of snacks, tea sets and drinks.
All the visitors gathered here.
It seems that everyone is allowed to rest and wait here.
Xia Da said to Shen Ye, "master Shen Ye, you can have a rest here. There will be a special lunch at noon."
"Mr. Xia Da, can I see my grandfather?"
Shen Ye hurriedly asked.
Xia Da thought a little and replied to Shen Ye, "the master needs to receive important guests in the morning. It's estimated that he doesn't have time to see you. But I'll convey it to him for you. You just need to wait patiently."
"Thank you. I see."
Shen Ye replied reluctantly. It seems hard to see. I don't know whether Xia Da's words have miserable water or whether he sent himself at will.
Forget it, just be patient. There are many rules in the big family. It's troublesome to cause the other party's disgust. After all, I'm here to beg, not to pretend to be an uncle.
The heavy night can be clearly divided.
"I have something else to do. I'll leave first."
Xia Da simply saluted and hurried away.
Shen Ye looked around. A famous man with fresh clothes, good manners and good self feeling was talking loudly.
"Hey, sisters, you know! That kid of the Li family can't do it at all. Up to now, he's just barely stepped into the four-star stage. He's like my husband. He's already four-star and seven stages now. I don't know how my little sister liked him at the beginning."
A middle-aged woman in a flower skirt said with a very proud expression.
"Yes, I can't pick a man. I heard she's living in a tight life now."
Several women nearby laughed with a look of schadenfreude.
"How much money can a small family have? Who told him to live or die. He had to marry out and look for love. Now you know it's hard. It's all deserved."
"Ha ha, yes."
......
The corners of Shen Ye's mouth twitched and shook helplessly. You'd better stay away from these women so as not to bring disaster to the fish pond.
He walked decisively to the pile of men next to him.
As a result, Shen Ye found it more lively here.
"I tell you, Lord xiadelu is very valued by Lord xiaqila now. It is said that he often comes to ask for advice with an open mind. As long as Lord xiadelu opens his mouth and says a good word in front of xiaqila noodles for us, there will be no fat difference if he wants to."
"I've also heard that the 73rd grandson of Xia Delu was transferred to the Finance Department of Xia Zhicheng. It's a position with less money."
"After all, it's his grandson. How can we get such a good position?"
"I don't like what you said. My son is also his own nephew. Even if you can't get such a good position, you have to arrange something similar."
"It makes sense. I have to mention that the unfilial son in my family has nothing to do."
......
The more Shen Ye listened, the more embarrassed he was. He muttered helplessly, "Hey, the world is getting worse and immoral. They all come to seek relations and benefits. No! It seems that I'm no different from them. Cough, when I didn't say it."
At this time, there was a commotion in front. A large group of people supported a man with a white face, arrogant eyes, bangs covering part of his eyes and wearing a royal aristocratic robe.
"Look, it's young master Xia Xuan. It's said that he is the favorite of Lord Xia Delu and the most gifted genius of the generation of Xia Delu family. It's said that he has reached level 4 and level 8 at the age of 27!"
"Go, go, let's see if we can talk to him and get close."
......
Unfortunately, Xia Xuan didn't bother to bird these messy relatives, and his eyes were full of disdain.
To put it mildly, these guys are very estranged. Although their children are grandpa's nieces, many of them are married by women from uncles who rank very low. Those uncles themselves have no status at home, let alone those who come back to take advantage of them.
All the real well-known relatives are in the inner hall. Who gathered here.
Xia Xuan said impatiently, "tell them to get out of the way. I have something else to do!"
"OK, master Xia Xuan."
The servant who followed him quickly replied.
Then they immediately stopped those relatives and friends who wanted to get close.
"Our young master is busy. Don't go up."
At this time, several new generation of Xia family came over. They saw Xia Xuan and shouted like flattery.
"Isn't this cousin Xia Xuan? You're back."
Xia Xuan glanced at his cousin and said back.
"I don't want to come back. My father told me to come back. I can't help it. How can this important family banquet be without me? It's Xialu. You ran back very fast."
"Brother Xia Xuan said..."
Xialu couldn't hang on his face and smiled back.
"But it's true at home. All relatives put them in. I don't remember sending out so many invitations."
"There's no way. They're all related. They want to help make things lively. They can't help entering. It's hard to say."
"I don't think they're here for fun, but to collect wool."
"You're right, but keep your voice down. It's not good to be heard by the elders."
Charlotte didn't have the guts to say it.
