Chapter 161
A few days later, Fu Shuang came to the door with a stomach and handed over the post to see Xie Yan.
The aunt and sister-in-law sat in the flower room, Xie Yan sent someone to set up a small table in the flower room, the flower room was warm and fragrant, and it was very quiet, Xie Yan poured a cup of tea for Fu Shuang with a colorful glass-colored teapot, and said to her:
"This is honey tea, you are pregnant, it is okay to drink this."
Fu Shuang and Xie Yan knew each other well, and they were not polite to her, after smiling, they took a sip of the cup, only to feel that not only the honey was strong, but also the fruity aroma, and it really tasted fragrant.
"Your brother's Ren Shu will come down in the next two days. I really didn't expect him to rise so fast, there is always a brother-in-law here, and there is also a letter from Baoding, and my father and mother will be able to come back after a while. We're finally reunited again. ”
Xie Yan smiled silently, Shen Xi had already told her about these things before, so she was not surprised, she just felt that no matter what Fu Shuang said at the moment, she seemed to have honey in her heart.
"My father and mother have been away for all these years, and I have also lost my sister-in-law to take care of me at home, and now that you are pregnant again, when your mother comes back, you can unload your burden and rest for a few days."
Fu Shuang listened to Xie Yan's words, and also smiled happily: "What hard work do I have." It's just to do what a daughter-in-law should do, my background is not good, being able to marry into the Xie family is the luckiest thing in my life, I used to be afraid that your brother would suddenly not be good to me, because my aunt said that, like your brother, a sister-in-law from this background, it is impossible to have only one woman around, and even I have no extravagant hopes since I was a child, there is a serious person from the son-in-law who went back to propose marriage, let me be a wife, with my aunt's identity, I thought I only had the life of being a concubine. Your brother is really good, he is different from other men, of course my brother-in-law is the same, I treat your brother wholeheartedly, every time he asks him to find other women, it is not my intention, I am just afraid that he will leave me. ”
Xie Yan saw Fu Shuang's sudden emotion, and remembered what happened between her and her brother before, she couldn't help but shake her head, Fu Shuang's kind of behavior is actually insecure, her aunt is a concubine, and she has no status in the palace of Rong'an County, Fu Shuang's living environment since she was a child has created her current character, maybe she is resolute, but she is too insecure.
She and Xie Shao can get to this day, Xie Shao also understands that it is inseparable from her brother's unremitting efforts, and she also knows that Fu Shuang must be talking about it from the bottom of her heart at this moment, so she didn't make a sound, but just picked a point and responded:
"My brother is different, I don't know if I don't know that."
Although Xie Xi's words have an element of self-humility, but there is also a point from the heart, how good Shen Xi is to her, she also sees it, she can understand Fu Shuang's uneasy feelings towards her brother, she treats Shen Xi like this, she feels from the bottom of her bones that the difference between the identities of the two is too great, she and him are not the original match of a young couple in the real sense, she knows Shen Xi's future identity from the beginning, and his dignity is only known to her, so how dare she expect him to be the most noble man in the world, She's the only woman around.
And in the previous life, there was indeed more than one woman by his side.
Fu Shuang only thought about it and understood what Xie Xi meant, Shen Xi has now recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, and has become the eldest prince Feng Xuan, although he has not been crowned king, but his identity is on the table, such a nobleman, if he says that there are no other women around him in the future, these words are what she says now to comfort Xie Xuan, Xie Xi and even everyone, how many will believe it.
Although my brother-in-law is very good to this girl now, who can guarantee that he will continue to be good in the future? Not to mention the brother-in-law, even if Xie Shao and Fu Shuang said those words, it took Fu Shuang a long time to decide whether to believe it or not.
And the identities of Shen Xi and Xie Shao are several grades worse, so naturally they can't be compared.
Fu Shuang leaned over and asked Xie Yan: "Since I have entered the door of the Xie family, then we are a family, sister, you tell me the truth, does my brother-in-law have a heart for that position?" ”
Xie Yan looked at Fu Shuang, and didn't say anything for a long time, but now Xie Yan only wanted to know if she wanted to ask what she wanted to ask, or if her brother wanted to ask. After thinking about it for a long time, Fu Shuang saw that she didn't speak, so he continued:
"Actually, you should also think that this matter is not my idea, it is your brother. How could he not know about his brother-in-law's promotion of him, as an official in the court, as long as he crossed that boundary, he would always have to set up his own party, or attach himself to a faction. If your brother-in-law has that mind, your brother and father-in-law are naturally all the way with your brother-in-law, if your brother-in-law doesn't have that mind, then who should we turn to, these must be a clear statement from the brother-in-law. ”
Xie Yan looked at Fu Shuang, and seeing that her expression was also quite solemn, Xie Yan took a deep breath and said:
"How can there be any definite statement on these things, even if you ask your husband face to face, he can't give an exact statement right away. However, as far as my selfishness is concerned, I naturally hope that my father and brother will stand on the same line with my husband, and now my husband's identity has just been revealed, everything is still unclear, I don't think I need to be in a hurry about this matter, although my sister-in-law went back to tell my brother, just said what I said, let him just relax his heart and do things for his husband, no matter who he is with or without whom, whether he has a heart or not, no matter what, our Xie family has me for a day, that is, I am tied to a rope with my husband, even if you don't say who you are with, The factions on the side will only return you to the husband's faction, so don't think about anything, it's enough to do good deeds. ”
Fu Shuang stared at Xie Yan for a while, his expression was also complicated, but he couldn't deny that what Xie Yan said was wrong, it was originally like this, with Xie Yan's aunt and grandmother, the Xie family and the eldest prince were tied together, one was prosperous, one was lost, and one was lost, where do these things need to be specially asked.
And the reason why Xie Shao asked her to ask, in fact, it was not really to ask Fu Shuang to ask him what kind of ugly Yin Mao to go back, but an attitude, he wanted to use Fu Shuang's mouth to tell Xie Yan that everything he has now is due to his brother-in-law, so in the future, he will not give up to his brother-in-law, no matter whether the eldest prince wins the heir or not, anyway, he Xie Shao is following Shen Xi!
As long as this idea is transmitted, the purpose of her coming today will be achieved. sat with Xie Yan in the flower room for a while, and then went to see Kang Ning together, played with him for a while, and Fu Shuang also offered to leave.
*****
After Xie Yan sent Fu Shuang away, she returned to the main courtyard, met Zhu Qing, and came up to report that the second lady and Aunt Lian were waiting for her in the flower hall.
"The second lady heard that the lady was meeting guests, so she didn't let the slaves and maids pass it on, but only said that she would wait for the lady to find her after the meeting in the flower hall."
Xie Yanqi said: "Did the second lady say that she came to me for something?" ”
Zhuqing shook his head and said, "The second lady didn't say it, but it was a happy event to see it." ”
Xie Yan went to the flower hall, and really saw the second lady Changsun and Aunt Lian sitting on the Taishi chair seriously, neither of them spoke, Changsun's expression was relatively relaxed, but Aunt Lian was a little absent-minded, her face was still very pale, and the whole person was haggard.
Seeing Xie Yan come in, the eldest grandson stood up to greet her, Xie Yan supported her to salute, and said: "Second lady, don't be polite, it turned out that I was negligent, my sister-in-law handed a post and came in to visit, I was in the flower room, and every maid informed me, it's really not good." ”
Since Shen Xi became the eldest prince, the eldest grandson's attitude towards Xie Yan has also undergone a shocking change, and he is very diligent, shaking his hand again and again:
"The princess doesn't want to say that, it's tormenting us."
Xie Yan smiled slightly, glanced at Aunt Lian, and said to Mrs. Changsun, "I don't know why the two of you came to Canglan Garden?" ”
It's not called a maid to pass it on, just wait here, Xie Yan thinks it should be a family matter.
Sure enough, the eldest grandson hurriedly replied: "Oh, that's right. The second lord of the house recently wanted to accept two concubines, and the person had already been decided, and he would bring it in five days, and the second lord wanted to set up a few tables of wine in the courtyard, and invited the people in each room to go to the lively and lively, and then invited the eldest prince and the princess to appreciate their faces. ”
Xie Yan raised her eyebrows: "The second master takes a concubine?" Do you want to put wine? "This is the first time Xie Yan has heard of the rules of concubines.
The eldest grandson nodded, not seeming to feel inappropriate, and said, "Yes." This is also a special rule of the Shen family, the Shen family's concubines have always come like this, although it is not a decent event to invite each room to eat and drink, but it is also good for each room to find a reason to get together. ”
Xie Yan's gaze turned between the eldest grandson and Aunt Lian, Aunt Lian's face was haggard, slightly sickly, and she listened to the second lady expressionlessly when she said that the second master took the concubine to serve wine, but she didn't say a word.
On the other hand, the eldest grandson is full of joy, as if it is not the second master who takes the concubine, but other masters......
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and Xie Yan suddenly felt that this inexplicable concubine incident was a little suspenseful...... Interested, he asked:
"I don't know which concubine it is?"
The eldest grandson was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Xie Yan to be really interested in this matter, he glanced back at Aunt Lian, a perfunctory smile appeared on his face, and said:
"Hey, where is a good concubine! I don't know where I came from, and I hooked the soul of the second master outside, saying that I had to bring people in. ”
Since she didn't say it, Xie Yan didn't want to ask reluctantly, and after a few words of greeting with the two, Mrs. Changsun also said goodbye with interest.
After they left, Xie Yi beckoned Huayi to ask, who knows, originally she just wanted to ask casually, let Huayi go to inquire, but I didn't expect this girl to inquire earlier, and said to Xie Yan:
"Where is the second lady embarrassed to say the identity of the concubine, but the fox is true, the concubine is the lady in the flower building in the city, how to say that sentence, a jade arm and a thousand people pillow, a little bit of red lips and ten thousand people taste the goods, and the second master does not dislike her dirty."
The identity of this concubine that the second master wanted to accept surprised Xie Yan. What kind of madness is this second master, what is the good lady of the flower house doing when she comes back? But the second lady still looks like she has nothing to do with herself......
