Chapter 106: Complaining
In the early morning, it was particularly refreshing due to a rainstorm last night, not only did the temperature drop a little, but the air also carried a fresh fragrance of herbs, which made people feel refreshed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Xie Zhaolin cautiously stepped on the small stone path specially paved in the garden, for fear that the remaining water droplets would splash and wet the shoes embroidered with satin embroidered begonia flowers.
She was about to walk through the garden to Madame Xie's house to talk to her.
"Be careful, don't throw out the pastries in the box." As she walked, she turned back and instructed the green warbler who was carrying a food box, looking a little uneasy.
These days, because the green warbler was intimidated by Mrs. Xie before, she was sincerely scared all day long, and her work was even more frizzy, and it happened that Hongqing's body was not very good, so Xie Zhaolin had to take the green warbler out.
The green warbler was staring at the road carefully, and when she heard this, she raised her head and said, "Miss don't worry, the slave is careful!" ”
The two stopped and stopped, and after a while, they arrived at the courtyard where Mrs. Xie was, Xie Zhaolin thought about it for a while, and was afraid that the green warbler would be told again, so she carried the food box into it and told her to wait outside the house.
After entering the house, I saw Mrs. Xie wearing a blue-green silk shirt leaning on the pillow, the carved wooden window was slightly open to breathe, and the big girl Ruying was standing by the incense burner, filling it with jasmine slices.
There was a faint aroma in the room, which dispelled the tide of the heavy rain for several days.
Mrs. Xie's eyes drooped slightly, as if she was pretending to sleep, but as soon as Xie Zhaolin approached her, she opened her eyes slightly, reached out and patted her on the embroidery stool on the side, and motioned for her to sit down.
Since it was a homely conversation between the mother and daughter, Xie Zhaolin was no longer informal, and simply said hello to Mrs. Xie and sat on the embroidery stool.
Just looked at Mrs. Xie and closed her eyes again, and had no intention of speaking, Xie Zhaolin didn't know what topic to find, so she just sat there staring at the pattern on the upper of her shoes in a daze.
After about a cup of tea, Mrs. Xie didn't react, but her breathing became more and more calm, and her chest rose and fell regularly, as if she was asleep.
Xie Zhaolin looked around, found a thin blanket on the bed, lightly covered Mrs. Xie, tucked it again, and turned around to leave.
However, after only taking two steps, the voice of Mrs. Xie, who was supposed to be sleeping soundly, suddenly sounded behind her: "Yilin, don't leave yet." ”
Although her voice was faint but very clear, it didn't look like she had been woken up, Xie Zhaolin was relieved, and turned back to sit down, wanting to call Ruying to serve.
"No need." Mrs. Xie waved her hand to stop it, and looked at Xie Zhaolin again, and sighed: "I didn't fall asleep in the first place, but you girl is becoming more and more patient, this time I actually want to go back like that, how can I be like before, I can't hold my breath." ”
Sure enough, I tried her! Xie Zhaolin had an expression that I knew, but said embarrassedly: "I just don't want to disturb my mother's rest." ”
Mrs. Xie smiled when she looked at her sincere face, but soon stopped and said, "I'm not praising you with this smile, so don't be complacent, my mother is going to criticize you this time!" I thought you were smarter, but the roots of your ears are still soft, haven't you suffered enough of Miss Qian's losses?! ”
Xie Zhaolin probably guessed what was going on, and he didn't argue for himself, but wondered: "I don't have any loss to the left and right, my daughter just doesn't understand, is it any good for the fourth sister to ask me for forgiveness?" ”
The capital is not Shanyin, and no one knows about the previous events, so naturally there is no need to come out to make a show. Besides, with her relationship with Xie Jialin, even before she tore her face, it was not necessarily good, and after she tore her face, she couldn't get the mother and daughter out of the house, at most, Aunt Liu was no longer as arrogant as before.
Mrs. Xie knew that it would be like this, her daughter was much more sensible than before, but in terms of human sophistication, she still had to mention more.
She sighed slightly in her heart and prompted, "Did the master let you rebuild the old friendship with her?" ”
Xie Zhaolin didn't know why, so she only nodded.
"Well, that's it. This rebuilding the old is not what you think, and you still ignore it like you were in your hometown, but you have to be affectionate, like a sister! ”
"Like a sister? But with all due respect, this is not good for either of us! Xie Zhaolin raised his eyebrows slightly, surprised.
"Come, sit close to your mother." Mrs. Xie patted the vacant seat on the side of the collapse this time and asked Xie Zhaolin to come over.
Xie Zhaolin also went over, and Mrs. Xie patted her on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Originally, it was no good, everyone was panicked in their hearts for pretending like this." But now it's different, there will be a lotus feast in the palace later, and both of you are going to go. Even if it is not someone who has already decided, but the matter is inconclusive, what will happen, who can say well. ”
The lotus banquet Xie Zhaolin also heard Xie Xuelin mention when he was at the second uncle's house, it was called a banquet in the palace to invite princes and nobles and ministers to enjoy lotus flowers and enhance their feelings, but in fact it was not.
All those who attended were required to bring their unmarried children with them, so the lotus feast was actually a blind date banquet in disguise.
In this way, did my father intend to enjoy the lotus feast here? At the lotus banquet, there will be a lot of noble sons coming, and even the prince and a few princes, although people may not necessarily care about a few of them, but if it is seen that their sisters are not in harmony, and then they are inquired about by people with ulterior motives, then the old things of Sanyin will be undoubtedly revealed!
As soon as the matter is revealed, Xie Jialin will inevitably not be able to stay in the capital again, so their family's trip will be in vain.
Seeing that Xie Zhaolin was silent for a long time, Mrs. Xie thought that she still couldn't figure it out, so she frowned and explained to her: "The master has great expectations for your fourth sister, so you must be prepared for everything, and you must not let her have a bad reputation." Therefore, if you agree this time, you will let her mother and daughter climb on top of us again in the future! ”
When she said this, her tone was full of complaints, as if she was blaming Xie Zhaolin for not holding out until she rushed back, so she hastily agreed.
Xie Zhaolin understood what she meant, and blamed herself for not thinking too much about it at the time, just saying that there was no loss, but she didn't want to have this relationship in it.
But now that I think about it, there is nothing to worry about, if Xie Jialin is prosperous in the future, it is naturally best to protect her family, if she has to take revenge, then she can naturally make her infamous again, and she can't stay in the capital!
"It's okay, Mother, let's not fight with her. But with her temperament, I'm afraid she will still suffer a lot from others. Xie Zhaolin comforted, his eyes full of certainty. (To be continued.) )
