Chapter 37: Xiang Chen attends the banquet

And this old lady who looked like a mortal in her seventies or eighties was none other than Mrs. Xia, the most senior member of the Xia family.

And her actual age is almost two hundred years old.

"Mom, I wish you happiness and longevity like the East China Sea. This is the soothing jade bracelet that Chunhui gave you. Wearing it can calm your mind and help you sleep soundly every night."

At this time, a beautiful woman in yellow clothes with outstanding grace and appearance, who looked to be in her thirties, smiled and presented a brocade box in her hand. In the box, there was a beautiful white jade bracelet.

"Haha, Chunhui, you are considerate. Thank you for taking care of everything in the Xia family over the past few years."

Mrs. Xia smiled and asked the maid on the side to accept the bracelet.

This beautiful woman is none other than Xia Qingqing's mother, Zhao Chunhui.

"Grandma, this is the clear lotus cake I brought back from the college. It is made of high-quality lotus seeds. Eating it can prolong your life."

Xia Qingcheng also had a red box in her hand. Inside the box were valuable pastries.

"My little granddaughter Qingcheng, let grandma see how big and beautiful she is."

When Mrs. Xia saw Xia Qingcheng, her face blossomed into a smile. She took Xia Qingcheng's hand cordially and sat next to her.

"Tell grandma, how are you doing at Huangzhou Academy?"

Mrs. Xia asked.

"It's okay. Thank you grandma for thinking about me."

Xia Qingcheng rarely showed a smile, but only half of her face could be seen.

"Haha, mother, don't you know, Qingcheng won third place in the annual competition of the Foreign Palace in the Huangzhou Academy, and was also spotted by the dean of the Huangzhou Academy and accepted him as a disciple."

Zhao Chunhui smiled, with pride in her eyes.

The other noble ladies of the Xia family looked at Xia Qingcheng with eyes filled with jealousy and envy.

"Has your illness improved?" Mrs. Xia suddenly asked with concern.

When Xia Qingcheng heard this, the smile on her face disappeared and she slowly shook her head.

"Hey..." Mrs. Xia sighed and said, "It's so hard on you. You should be at an age when you should be beautiful and beautiful, but you are forced to wear this mask."

It seemed that Xia Qingcheng had something hidden.

"By the way, Qingcheng, I heard that the eldest prince of our Dashang is pursuing you. Do you agree?"

And this is, another lady in blue asked with a smile, Xia Qingcheng's second aunt.

"You really don't want to mention anything. Can Qingcheng agree? If someone knows something about the situation in the future, how do you want Qingcheng to deal with it?" Another lady snorted coldly, and there was a bit of meanness in her words.

"Oh, by the way, I had forgotten that Qingcheng is still engaged to the second son of the Xiang family."

The second aunt said as if she suddenly realized something, and there was a hint of ridicule in the eyes of the two women.

Zhao Chunhui's face turned slightly ugly when he heard this, and said: "How can that boy be worthy of the beauty of our family?"

In her heart, she was extremely resistant to Xiang Chen. A down-and-out good-for-nothing second son could not compare to the beauty of her family.

Mrs. Xia frowned and said, "You are talking about the Xiang family, Xiang Liang's second boy, who is his name Xiang Chen?"

"That's right, mother, that's the boy. He poisoned his eldest brother and was kicked out of the Xiang family. Now he has come to our Xia family to survive. Tell me, how can such a useless, vicious and spineless man be worthy of the beauty of my family? .”

Zhao Chunhui gritted her teeth and said, extremely hating Xiang Chen for delaying her daughter's future.

"I've also heard about that little guy. It's said that he can't practice, right? The Xiang family is in a special situation now, and he is indeed not worthy of our Qingcheng. But that was the engagement her grandfather agreed to when he was alive, and many people also know this. It’s hard for us, the Xia family, to break the contract openly about things like this.”

Mrs. Xia touched the dragon's head of the dragon's head crutch and said lightly.

"Yes, breaking the contract will damage the reputation of our Xia family. Isn't this just adding insult to injury and trying to adapt to the situation?"

The other two noble ladies supported her. They did not want such an outstanding Xia Qingcheng to marry the eldest prince again. Now, they would be forever suppressed by Zhao Chunhui.

"What does this have to do with you?" Zhao Chunhui asked dissatisfied.

"We are also members of the Xia family, so naturally we have to consider the reputation of the Xia family." The second aunt said with a strange smile.

"Grandma, my granddaughter is devoted to practicing martial arts. For the future of the family, she doesn't want to marry anyone."

Xia Qingcheng said lightly.

"Haha, you are still young, it is too early to say this." The old lady smiled and did not mention this matter anymore.

"Xia Mingjiang, I wish my grandma happiness as long as the East China Sea and longevity as the Nanshan Mountain."

"Xia Mingyu, I wish grandma a long life."

"Xia Youyou wishes grandma a long life."

At this time, the younger members of the Xia family kept coming to kneel down to celebrate his birthday, and offered him the best birthday gift they could.

The old lady looked at the descendants of the Xia family who came to worship and wish her a birthday, her face was flushed and she was extremely happy.

Whether a family's future is strong or not depends on whether the younger generation is prosperous or not.

In the entire spacious hall, there were no less than four hundred members of the Xia family's main clan gathered together, making it extremely lively.

Xiang Heng also brought his wife Xia He and Xia Xueer to celebrate his birthday. The old lady also chatted with Xiang Heng for a long time. Xia He is the old lady's biological daughter.

At this time, another figure walked in from outside the hall.

"Hey, Xiang Chen!"

"It's Xiang Chen. Why is he here? Does he deserve to be here?"

"Is he the useless second son of the Xiang family who is famous for his reputation?"

At this time, someone noticed the young man and started talking. Suddenly many people's attention was focused on this young man.

I saw a young man, wearing a black underwear and a white fur coat. He has a handsome appearance, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. His long hair is tied behind his back. His temples hang down by his ears, just covering his ears. He has a blue python belt around his waist. , wearing white boots, the whole person shows his elegant temperament, giving people the feeling of a modest gentleman and as gentle as jade.

Although he is only fifteen years old, he gives off the restrained wisdom of a king, with a light smile on his face.

I have to say that the young man’s temperament really attracted some girls from the Xia family.

"Wow, that's Xiang Chen. He doesn't look as useless as they say. He feels so elegant."

Some girls whispered.

"Hmph, it's just a nice-looking embroidered pillow on the outside, but it's a good-looking embroidered pillow on the inside. Such a person is not worthy of Miss Qingcheng, a waste who feeds on our Xia family."

What's more, many male disciples of the Xia family sneered and said disdainfully. Although their voices were suppressed, no one present could hear them.

"Xiang Chen." Xia Mingjiang, Xia Nan and others all looked gloomy, looking at Xiang Chen with evil intentions.

"Why is this kid here so ignorant?" The Great Elder Xia Fenghu frowned, not satisfied with Xiang Chen coming over.

Under the mocking eyes of many people, Xiang Chen carried a basket and walked towards Mrs. Xia at the birthday party's banquet...

A series of good shows prepared for you will begin tomorrow. Anyone with devil fruits should vote for Shura. One of them is guaranteed to be in the top ten. It is pitifully outside the top ten. Thank you Jiang Chen and Shen Wen for unblocking them. You two But those who have lost their virginity are destined to be together forever.
