Chapter XI

Yan Xiu came back from eating and drinking with his colleagues outside, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw Xie Shi get up from the chair, turned his back suddenly, walked over to take a look, Xie Shi's eyes were red, and asked:

"What's wrong?"

Xie wiped his tears with a handkerchief, didn't speak, only shook his head, Yan Xiu asked again, she still didn't say, Yan Xiu had to call Wang to come in and ask, Wang 1510 told Yan Xiu about this time, of course, he avoided the fact that Xie was punished because he was jealous of Hongqu for seducing Hou Ye.

Yan Xiu was also a little surprised after hearing this, and said, "That's it?" Person...... Let's fight it, but a few minions who have made mistakes will be sent to Zhuangzi at most, and you can't make an awkward mess because of this. ”

In Yan Xiu's ears, he just beat a few slaves and maids, and although he started a little heavier, he would not disturb the peace of the backyard for a few slaves and maids, but Xie Shi didn't think so, and said with a crying voice:

"Although the matter is small, it can be seen that the eldest lady has changed, the innocent and kind girl in the past, but now she is so cruel to people, and I am not good at teaching, but I have never treated her badly, can I compete with me like this? Today, I beat a few slaves, but if her fierce reputation spreads, the world will only say that my stepmother is not good. Once upon a time, my aunt told me that it was not easy to be a stepmother, but I have always admired my eldest sister, and I felt that the children who stayed with the conduct of my eldest sister should also be benevolent, kind, obedient and sensible, and it was really good before this, I don't know why, it seemed to be a different person overnight, I, I ...... Am I not doing well enough? ”

Xie's words made Yan Xiu scratch his forehead, he was most annoyed to deal with this kind of back house thing, in his opinion, as long as a woman stays in peace, don't bother him with trouble all day long, Xie rarely had things in the back house to bother him in the past, today I feel complicated when I hear her say this, one is a wife, the other is a daughter, Xie is sandwiched in the middle of it is not good to be a man.

Xie Shi cried while secretly looking at Yan Xiu's expression, seeing that Yan Xiu didn't want to call the shots for her, he was a little panicked, but the arrow was on the string, and she had to send it, since she had already said this, then there was no turning back from the bow, and she had to continue.

"The eldest lady and the second young master, I ask myself if they are better than Sister Ning and Brother Yan, Sister Ning doesn't need to say it, the food and clothing in the house, which one of her is better than the eldest lady, if I am selfish, where will I not take care of my children." Let's talk about Brother Yan'er, Hou Ye said that the young masters want to study, but Brother Qian has always been cold, and he doesn't like to be with Brother Yan, so I will be baba, and I have invited Mr. Hongru Du for him, Mr. Du is so talented, I think Master Hou knows better than me, Brother Yan is not the eldest son, and I don't have such high requirements for him, but I just invite the gentleman of the general academy in the capital, where my stepmother is not satisfactory, I don't know that it will attract such treatment, I, I really have grievances and nowhere to reclaim, and I can't say anything about my suffering, Is it really so difficult for stepmothers to do this day? ”

Xie Shi's words moved a little, and his dissatisfaction eased slightly, and he slapped the table and said, "Okay, okay, don't say it, it's really Sister Hua'er's fault for this matter today." Come on, go and call the eldest lady over to make amends to the wife. ”

Wang and Xie exchanged glances, and they were not particularly satisfied with Yan Xiu's attitude, at least they didn't have the kind of thunderous appearance they imagined when they knew that their daughter had become evil, but at least Hou Ye was still willing to make decisions for his wife, and he just wanted to fight for face, as long as Yan Zhaohua came over to pour tea and apologize, then this game would be considered a draw.

It didn't take long for Yan Zhaohua to call over, she was wearing a long coat of Luo Hua silk yarn, covered with a butterfly and a flower-colored loose coat, her hair was also scattered and she pulled a fallen horse bun at will, with a simple bead hairpin, a pair of watery eyes made her look more and more innocent and harmless, she looked like she had been dressed and ready to go back to the room but was suddenly called over, and she didn't even have time to change her clothes, but her face was calm and calm, but she compared Xie's pear blossoms with rain and red eyes - this kind of little family spirit compared.

"Say hello to my father, my wife, I don't know what happened when I called my daughter to come over at night?"

Yan Zhaohua had snow skin and jade skin, and spoke softly, Yan Xiu was still a little angry, but looking at such a well-behaved and beautiful daughter, the fire in his heart was half gone, and he beckoned to Yan Zhaohua, and Yan Zhaohua stood up and walked over.

"Today, I know about the matter of your Qingque center, you are too heavy, I don't know what your wife is doing on weekdays when the housekeeper eats heavily, and you still have to find these things to annoy her? If you are not satisfied with anyone, just drive it out, you are the eldest lady of Changning Houfu, you don't need to do that self-damaging thing, if this is notorious, not only will it affect your wife and be said to have no way to teach, but also let you fall into an unvirtuous name, showing a momentary anger, it is definitely not what a smart person should do, understand? ”

Yan Xiu's words made Yan Zhaohua a little surprised, he didn't scold her head and face, and then helped Xie Shi suppress her, but she could still tell her such a specious truth at this juncture, and there was no compromise in her tone, but Xie Shi, her face was blue and red for a while, she couldn't hear it, Yan Xiu's words were not only to comfort Yan Zhaohua, but also to say that she was not smart, and the housekeeper was heavy, didn't the implication mean that she was going to apologize to Yan Zhaohua tonight.

Originally, he wanted Yan Xiu to know this daughter who had changed his kind heart, but he didn't speak in a heavy tone, Xie Shi set his eyes on Yan Zhaohua, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he seemed to understand a little bit why Yan Xiu changed his attitude towards Yan Zhaohua, because Yan Zhaohua is now dressed like Xie Wei back then, Xie Wei was at her age, and when she met her sisters at night, she also liked such a simple and relaxed dress.

Xie Wei is a suspicious person, and once he is suspicious, he will never be able to take it back. She can basically be sure in her heart now that Yan Xiu has not forgotten her old love for Xie Wei, and when she saw her daughter who was similar to Xie Wei, she immediately became sad.

Yan Zhaohua felt that Xie was looking at her, and did not look at her, as if she was unaware, but in Xie's opinion, such disregard was very obvious contempt...... Xie Wei didn't care about her so much back then, but at this moment, Yan Zhaohua looked at Xie Wei as if she was possessed by Xie Wei, which made her see Xie Wei's cold arrogance as the eldest daughter back then, and her heart was even more hateful.

She and Yan Xiu have been married for ten years, and she asked herself what the average wife would do, and she did it all for Yan Xiu, but although Yan Xiu respected her like a guest, she was always separated by a layer, alienated, cold and cold, plus he did not refuse women to come, the relationship between the two was even more impure, but at this moment, Xie could almost conclude that the person Yan Xiu had been hiding in his heart was Xie Wei, which may not even be aware of himself.

"What are you looking at me for? Don't get it? ”

Yan Xiu looked at Yan Zhaohua at himself with a very strange look, Yan Zhaohua came back to his senses, nodded to Yan Xiu, and said, "My daughter understands." Today's matter is indeed my daughter's impatience, but I think that Hongqu made a mistake in Mrs. here, and was beaten by Mrs. 20 boards, Mrs. must be disgusted that my majesty is not strict, so I moved the heart of the servant and maid, and the original intention was to share the worries for Mrs. ”

Yan Zhaohua's words were clearly organized, and he did not shirk the words at all, made a decision cleanly, and unambiguously, walked in front of Xie, and generously blessed Xie Shi, and apologized to Xie Shi softly:

"Don't be strange to your wife, I have a responsibility that I can't shirk from the matter of Hongqu, knowing that she is careless, I shouldn't let her send scriptures to my wife, so that I will not have the spirit to do things today, please don't be angry with me, I will make amends to my wife."

Xie Shi was so angry that his nostrils seemed to be smoking, where did he think that it would be such an ending, he was unwilling but helpless, he smiled stiffly and responded to Zhaohua's apology, and leaned forward to help her up.

Originally, I thought that this qiē would end here, but I didn't expect that Yan Xiu's words would make Xie Shi tremble again.

"Red Channel? Is that the little girl next to you? ”

Xie Shi was alarmed in his heart, and only heard Yan Zhaohua reply: "Yes, it was the little girl who came to the main courtyard with me that day, she looked like a safe one, and she didn't make any mistakes on weekdays, but somehow, today she broke the vase in front of the wife's Buddha shrine, and Mrs. punished her as she should have shared, but I was too careful, and I felt that something went wrong with the people around me, so I wanted to take this opportunity to deal with some of the people around me who made mistakes, alas, all the mistakes are my fault, and I ask my father and wife not to be sad about this matter anymore." ”

Xie scolded Yan Zhaohua, the stinky girl, in his heart, and the stinky girl was stabbing with a soft knife! Xie didn't want Yan Xiu to know the reason why she disposed of Hongqu, after all, jealousy is a woman's taboo, so she avoided saying it when she complained, but she didn't expect Yan Zhaohua to wait for her here, and suddenly cut into her weakness.

Secretly glanced at Yan Xiu, only to see that he was looking at himself, Xie Shi panicked, and said: "Oh, it's that girl, the vase in front of my Buddha was asked for by the Qing Fang Abbot in the White Horse Temple, and the Buddha shrine was opened together, I have always believed in Buddhism, who knew that the girl actually broke the vase frizzy, I was afraid that the Buddha would blame, this is ......"

Anyway, no matter how lame this reason is, it's better than her taking the initiative to admit that she hit Hongqu because she was jealous.

There was a strange silence in the room, and Xie Shi was so frightened that his heart rose to his throat, but he didn't expect Yan Xiu to blame her, he only made a sudden appearance, nodded, and said:

"Oh, your shrine is indeed a treasure, so that girl really deserves it."

With Yan Xiu's words, Xie Shi's breath of relief was finally a little relieved, and he glanced at Yan Zhaohua, just meeting her smiling gaze, which made Xie Shi's cheeks blush, Yan Zhaohua's gaze seemed to be able to see through Xie's stomach, heart and lungs, taking in her fear and embarrassment, which made Xie Shi feel very embarrassed.

Yan Zhaohua didn't figure out how to solve the Xie family in this matter, but it was just to scare the Xie family, and she and Yan Xiu were married for ten years, but they still didn't understand Yan Xiu, in this case, I knew with my toes that Yan Xiu couldn't treat her, the lady of the main house, for the sake of a maid, but she was scared like this, it can be seen that in the past ten years of married life, she has not lived as smoothly as people imagined, at least, Yan Xiu is not as good as his gentle appearance.

"Okay, it's not a big deal, it's still noisy until midnight, let's rest."

Yan Xiu waved his hand like this and said.

Yan Zhaohua immediately saluted him, bowed his head and said obediently: "Yes, my daughter is leaving." ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't delay, he turned around and left cleanly, Yan Xiu saw that his daughter was gone, and he also stood up from the chair, Xie was about to step forward to give him a wide coat, but Yan Xiu separated him with one hand, straightened his belt, and said:

"I'll go sleep in the courtyard today, and you should rest early."

Xie Shi looked at Yan Xiu's departing back, and secretly gritted his teeth, Hou Ye was angry with her, and he should have stayed in her room tonight......
