"The daughter-in-law will start to prepare, and the New Year will be celebrated in a few days, if this matter can be booked before the year, it will also be a matter of mind, just wait for Brother Chen to come back from the northwest, and then give him a good family matter, and then it will be late and ......."

Xie Shi thought about it for a while, and added, "Sister Xian'er is also twelve years old after the New Year, and it's time to discuss marriage." ”

Old Madam Xia sighed in her heart.

It's not easy for Xie to think so thoroughly, after all, that slut is so virtuous, if she gives it to herself back then, I'm afraid she will have to take care of Sister Xian's marriage, and it can be seen from the daughter-in-law's actions how correct the Xie family's tutor is, which is why she insisted on her son marrying Xie back then.

Old Madam Xia looked at Xie Shi and said with a smile: "In the blink of an eye, my grandson is so old, it can be seen that I am really old." ”

Xie Shi took the beauty to beat Mrs. Xia's legs, and said funny: "Where is the mother old, these little monkeys are growing too fast, and the daughter-in-law dreamed yesterday that she was holding a sugar cake for me to eat when she was a child. ”

Speaking of Chanyi, Mrs. Xia thought of today's events, and couldn't help but be frightened, and called "Mother Zhang" and instructed: "Let someone call Sister Xian'er over, I haven't asked her to enjoy the flowers tonight, why did she come back first." ”

Zhang's mother should be, not long after, Xianyi came to Fushoutang, asked Mrs. Xia to say goodbye, and sat on the small stool in a proper manner.

When Mrs. Xia saw her half-dead appearance like this, she became angry in her heart, "Why did you leave your sister behind today and come back alone? When you eat at the banquet, your sister goes to change clothes, why don't you go with you? When the family goes out, aren't you afraid that your sister will make a mistake?"

Xian Yi can't wait for Chan Yi to have a big foreign appearance, so that everyone can see what kind of slut she is.

Hearing Mrs. Xia's question, her face was a little arrogant, "My sister wants to be friends with Miss Gu, I looked at my sister behind me, I really lost the style of our Xia family, I really couldn't look down on it before I came back, at the banquet, Miss Gu took the wine and apologized to my sister, my sister drank two glasses of fruit wine, and knocked over the wine in Miss Wei's hand, Miss Wei pulled her granddaughter and didn't let her go, and her granddaughter couldn't do it, seeing that Sister Xiao took her sister and left, so she didn't follow. ”

Old Madam Xia heard her words in her ears, and her eyes looked at her fiercely, "Are you determined to slander your sister like this? How could our Xia family raise such a disobedient and unfilial thing as you!"

Mrs. Xia angrily threw the Buddha beads in her hand into her face, and she was caught off guard, and her face hurt.

Xian Yi covered her face and cried bitterly, "Grandmother doesn't like me, so she can't even listen to the truth, if it weren't for my sister's mistake, then how could Miss Gu Jia repeatedly find her sister's fault, what did her granddaughter do wrong, and asked her grandmother to count her granddaughter indiscriminately?"

Xie Shi couldn't see Xian Yi being so disrespectful to his elders, so he taught with a calm face: "What are you doing here? Your grandmother just asked you, and you have so many sentences to follow, and all the "Female Filial Piety Sutra" handed over to you by your upbringing grandmother let you read it into the dog's belly?"

Mrs. Xia could hear her crying, and she only felt that her heart was blocked in a panic, but because of the conditions of Aunt Yan's slut, she couldn't help her, pointed at her angry face, and said loudly: "You get out of here!"

Xianyi stood up aggrievedly, and went out, she didn't want to stay here and listen to them count themselves.

When Mrs. Xia saw her get up neatly, she walked to the door, and gritted her teeth with hatred, "You stop me!

Xian Yi turned around and glanced at Mrs. Xia, her eyes were quite unwilling, ten times of filial piety, she just couldn't finish copying it all day long, let her copy it ten times tonight, didn't she make it clear that she wouldn't let her eat?

She thought of Yan's instructions to her, and she could no longer hide her resentment in her eyes, and said loudly: "Why is grandmother so partial? grandmother simply let her granddaughter starve to death, but it is completely wiped out, and it is also saved to use such means to spread it and damage the reputation of Xia Mansion!"

Xia Shijing, who had just stepped into the door, couldn't help but slap her hard when she heard Xian Yi question her mother so vigorously, "Who taught you the rules that make you dare to talk to your grandmother like this?"

Xian Yi was beaten and fell in front of the Duobao Pavilion, raised her head and looked at Xia Shijing in surprise.

In her memory, her father has always been partial to herself, why did he become the hateful face he is now in the blink of an eye?

She covered her face and cried uncontrollably.

It's just that her own mother was grounded in Xifeng Garden, and now even she has to be trampled on.

She looked at Xia Shijing, who was staring at her viciously in front of her, and there was no trace of concern in her heart.

She's not going to let these people have a good time!

The wolf got up, covered her face, and ran back to the house.

Xia Shijing sighed heavily.

Among his children, he loves this little daughter the most, but now she doesn't even take him seriously, it's really unreasonable!

He stepped forward and saw the Buddhist beads in Mrs. Xia's hand falling to the ground at this moment, guessing that it must have been used by his mother to throw away the clothes when she was angry just now, so he picked it up and put it on the table.

"Mother don't be angry, she has been spoiled since she was a child, and after the New Year, let's invite a female gentleman to teach her etiquette, and she will definitely know her mistakes. ”

Mrs. Xia didn't have any expectations for Xian Yi, and said lightly: "I'm thankful that she didn't cause trouble for the family, okay, don't talk about her, the Ningguo Mansion has posted a post to our family, and invited the daughter-in-law to go to enjoy the flowers with you in the evening, you see if you should go or not." ”

Xie took out the post and handed it to Xia Shijing.

Xia Shijing was taken aback, took the post and read it carefully several times, and said strangely: "I have never had any contact with Ning Guogong, why did I suddenly send a post to Yingxue?"

Old Madam Xia thought that he didn't know what was happening in the Xia Mansion, and carefully told him about Chanyi's plot.

The more Xia Shijing listened, the tighter his brows wrinkled, so it seemed that Ning Guogong would not stop until he reached his goal.

He said: "This matter will be suppressed first, Ming'er and I will go to the court, test and test Ning Guogong's tone, and then say whether to go or not." ”

Old Madam Xia nodded, now it can only be like this.

She turned her head and talked about Xia Mingche's marriage again, "Now that Brother Che is older, and he will be fifteen years after the New Year, I mean to set up a family affair for Brother Che first." ”

Xia Shijing said: "Brother Che'er is not in a hurry, isn't there still Brother Chen?"

Mrs. Xia said unhappily: "Brother Chen is now earning a future in the northwest, first set a marriage for Brother Chen, and then set a marriage for Brother Chen, my daughter-in-law and I fell in love with the daughter of General Xiao's family, and there are hundreds of women in the family, if you don't ask first at this time, when the time comes, it will be too late." ”

Xia Shijing touched his chin, thinking of Old General Xiao's pivotal position in the court, he felt that this family matter could indeed be tried, "Old General Xiao's side, who is my mother going to invite to talk about this?"

Old Madam Xia knew that her son had agreed, and smiled: " General Xiao's wife died early, and now the house is said to be the housekeeper of General Xiao, and there is no one in charge of the family, so he can only start from the foreign home of General Xiao's wife, the Lu family, the brother of General Xiao's wife is Lu Gongming, and now he is a bachelor in the cabinet, and his wife He is a happy and quiet one, and the He family has a daughter who married into our family, and is the daughter-in-law of your uncle's family. ”

Xia Shijing nodded, "Mother will take more care about this matter, if it can be done, it will be a help to Brother Che in the future." ”

Obviously, Mrs. Xia thought the same way, and she invited the He family to come to her house the next day.

He is in his early twenties, wearing a red embroidered and Tilian brocade gown, wearing a butterfly-shaped hairpin with gold and silk beads on his head, full of dignified and beautiful, holding a bowl of cloud tea in his hand, listening to Mrs. Xia and her family, talking about her mother's family, she smiled: "My cousin didn't like to talk at home, and now she married the Lu family is a gourd with a sawed mouth, and she usually goes back to her mother's house less, if the old lady has something, I can help ask and ask." ”

Old Madam Xia didn't dare to tell the truth, but just asked about the affairs of General Xiao's mansion, and asked if the two of them were still in contact.

Although He is not a top smart person, he is obedient to his bosom friend, listening to Mrs. Xia's side inquiry, he has a vague bottom in his heart, and he poured everything he knows to Mrs. Xia with a smile, and added a sentence at the end: "Although General Xiao's wife died early, there are still contacts between relatives, and the usual Boxing New Year's gift General Xiao does not forget to send a copy to the He family, that is, now that General Xiao's three children are older, this family matter is really a bit of a headache." ”

When Mrs. Xia heard this, she came to her senses, so that is, these three children are not married?

She kindly took He's hand, "I won't hide it from you, Miss Xiao is good friends with Wanwan, and often comes to the house to greet me, I saw that this child likes it from the bottom of my heart, so I thought, if I can achieve a marriage, it will be a good thing, but I don't know if she has been engaged, if she is married, I rashly sent someone to the door to say that the matchmaker, isn't it a joke!"

He Shi hurriedly said: "Don't worry, old lady, I'll help you ask your cousin when you go back, my cousin will definitely know about the Xiao family." ”

"That's hard work for you. Old Madam Xia looked at her with a smile.

"Don't you dare to be an old lady, if it really becomes this family affair, I want to ask for a cup of wine to eat. He smiled.

The two of them laughed and said some side words, and He took his leave.

Old Madam Xia was looking down at He's words, when she saw Xia Shijing hurriedly walking in.

She was stunned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xia Shijing was sweating anxiously, "Mother, didn't you say yesterday that the Ningguo Mansion sent a post to invite Yingxue to go to the Ningguo ......Mansion to enjoy the flowers in the evening?"
