Fourteen. brothers
The next day, Wanlan got up early in the morning and went to the long room to greet Mrs. Qin, intending to probe her mother's tone, but after entering the door, she saw Xie Huaichang standing alone outside, bowing his head slightly to listen to the training. Xie Daozhong and Mrs. Qin were there, she bent her knees, and the big girl in Mrs. Qin's room hurriedly came in and reported that the second master had arrived.
Wanlan's heart immediately tightened, Xie Huai'an expected it to be good, Xie Daoyong really persuaded his father. She pressed her heartbeat like a drum, forcibly suppressed the expression on her face, greeted Xie Daozhong and his wife in a regular manner, and bowed her knees to Xie Daoyong.
Xie Daoyong coughed and said, "Ah Lan is also there." ”
He knew what Wanlan had in her heart, and what she said was meaningful, and when she heard that Wanlan's ears were feverish, she responded softly, and looked up at Xie Daoyong again.
Xie Daoyong looked at her with a smile, his eyes were full of energy, and he took advantage of Xie Daozhong's inattention, winked at her, and then turned his head: "What, big brother, has you thought about it?"
Xie Daozhong still looked like he was not smiling, and when he heard his question, he only bowed his head: "This matter is very important, I don't know anything about it, it all depends on your arrangement." After finishing speaking, he said to Huaichang: "When you stay in Beijing, you must listen to your uncle's arrangement for everything, and don't make decisions and cause any trouble." ”
"Okay, the children have grown up so big, can't they tell the difference between good and bad, do you deliberately advise?" Xie Daoyong rubbed his hands, the corners of his lips raised, and said happily: "You figured it out so quickly, but you really taught me an accident, then Huaichang and Ah Lan packed up and set off with me to Beijing as soon as possible. ”
As soon as he said this, not only Xie Daozhong and his wife, but even Wanlan were taken aback, Mrs. Qin raised her eyebrows and looked at Xie Daozhong in surprise: "Master, what's the matter...... Do you want to send even a girl's family out of Alan?"
Xie Daozhong frowned again, before he could speak, Xie Daoyong opened his mouth and said: "Sister-in-law, what is this? What about the girl's family, you and my eldest brother are lucky, there are groups of children under our knees, and my second brother and I have to be like a new daughter with such a hard life, why don't you send her out to learn skills together, and she will be like an old man in the future." ”
Mrs. Qin was taken aback again: "How can everyone show up like this? Uncle is not big or small in Beijing, he is also a person with status, how can he ......?"
"Ah, my sister-in-law is not in Beijing, I don't know how sad I am in Beijing! My identity is not big or small, I am obviously a sesame official who can't be on the stage," Xie Daoyong put on a bitter gourd face: "When Emperor Taizongwen founded the country, he rewarded our family with a third-class lord who could not be hereditary, which is a pivotal title in Zhenjiang. When I arrived in Beijing, it was really a prince who was running around Baylor, and what was a third-class lord with a different surname? When my younger brother entered the office, he went to the ministry to order Mao and reported our family's hall number, and people were stunned to check the file for a long time before they remembered that there was still our number in Xunguili. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Xie Daozhong again, and sighed with a sad face: "With such an uncompetitive father, Wanxin is not a good lady, she doesn't have Ah Lan's good luck, and she can still have a brother on top of her head." If something happens in this house, won't she have to deal with it herself? While my old bones are still active, send her out to learn more skills, and she will be able to suffer less in the future. ”
Mrs. Qin didn't expect that just half a sentence could lead him to complain so much, and there was no lack of accusations against Xie Daozhong for being unkind over the years, and her face couldn't help but be a little sneering: "Zhiheng is talking about what you are talking about, you are a brother with broken bones and tendons, Ah Xin and Ah Lan are naturally sisters, Huai'an and Huaichang are Ah Lan's brothers, and naturally Ah Xin's brothers." ”
Zhiping and balancing it is the words of Xie Daozhong and Xie Daoyong, which were taken by the old lady of the Xie family himself. Xie Daoyong laughed, nodded and said: "The balance of the balance, the Tao of the Dao, I and the eldest brother are naturally brothers." ”
