11. Chapter 11
As soon as the people of the main branch arrived, Xie Yun took the people back, and the old lady Ning Shi, who was the leader of the main branch, was the old lady of the third room of the main branch. The rest also have two grandchildren in the long room and a little girl in the third room. In addition to this, there were a number of servants and maids who served each of them, and there were no less than twenty in all. At first, the old lady thought that even if the main branch of Nanling came, three or five would be up to the sky, and when the three old ladies came, they would take a look and drink! At least two more yards will have to be prepared to settle down.
The old lady was worried that the third old lady would feel sluggish, so she had the heart to let them live in the Tianxiang Garden that had just been vacated, and told the old man, but the old man vetoed it.
"Tianxiangyuan is a resting place for the female dependents, and they can't be moved."
"What the master said is also true, the person in the main branch is also surnamed Xie, and we are a family, and I don't care so much about food and housing. But I've been busy with the full moon wine here, and it's hard to get distracted. As...... Let the second daughter-in-law come out to help me for a few days, and when this is over, let her go back and reflect, you see......"
The old lady was distressed that the second room had lost her title, and it was only a few days before she was in a hurry to intercede with the Sun family.
said that after the full moon wine was finished, let her go back and continue to reflect, but in fact, after waiting for this stubble, I can't say that Sun will still be credited, where is there any need to reflect?
The old man no longer asks about the affairs of the inner house to get a man, this is still clear.
But in the end, it was to give the old wife face, and said: "You can make your own decisions about these things." ”
The old lady really released Sun on the same day.
Sun regained his freedom, and immediately took care of things, as soon as Liu got the letter, his illness was immediately cured, and he followed Sun and received the old lady from Nanling.
Qianlang Pavilion and Xiyuan were all cleaned out.
The third old lady and the youngest granddaughter Xie Yuke lived in Qianlang Pavilion, and the two young masters Xie Han and Xie Yi lived in Hexi Garden.
Because the third old lady and her brother and sister were not used to eating in the capital, they opened a small kitchen for them to use.
Liu couldn't help but complain: "Not to mention the yard where I lived, it was originally prepared for the buddies in the family, but when they grew up to live, now it was occupied first." There are also people in the courtyard, and they don't take our Yingguo Mansion too seriously. ”
The third old lady came from Nanling all the way to eat the full moon wine of Yingguofu, and she actually brought so many servants and girls to serve. What does this mean? I'm afraid that he doesn't have manpower in Yingguofu, and he can't even distribute tea and water?
"If you really have a backbone, forget it, sister-in-law, did you hear what the third old lady said to the old lady just now? They brought so many people, and they even had to pay for the monthly money? This food looks ugly too! The old lady even agreed. ”
Because Liu is the daughter-in-law of the concubine, she was very embarrassed in front of the third old lady, and she was not angry, so she turned her back to speak, and naturally she didn't have a good tone.
Sun smiled and said, "The third old lady is the person of the main branch, you must know that the Nanling Xie family is famous, and the family style of these hundreds of years is naturally not something that we can arrange." Besides, the visitors are guests, and since the old man and the old lady respect them, we naturally have to respect them as well. ”
"I'm just not convinced, what a century-old family, and I don't look at what is going on now. Besides, there are more than one hundred years of family in the world, not only the Nanling Xie family, but also the Wang family and the Xie family for so many years, and I haven't seen anyone from the Wang family come to eat other people's faces and give people a look. ”
The Sun family didn't answer anymore, now that Xie Yun has become the prince, the entire Yingguo Mansion will be a big house in the future, and no matter how much money is spent in the public middle school, it will not be their turn to be painful. As for looking at the face, the Xie family looks at the face, and the left and right are not only themselves.
Sun is not wrong at all, after the three old ladies were settled by them, it was the turn of Mrs. Chen, the big house, to look at their faces.
Because the Chen family has not yet come out of the moon, when the third old lady came, she did not go out to greet her, and these days, she is even more confined to the confinement without stepping out of the door.
So, the third old lady took the initiative to come to the door and came to see her.
The maid next to the third old lady handed a box of gifts to Mama Qi and said, "This is what the eldest lady of the family asked our old lady to bring to the sixth girl." They are far away in Nanling, and they won't be able to come for a while, but they are just a little heart, and they will play with the six girls. ”
Mama Qi opened the box, Chen took a look, and it was white, white, green and green, and it turned out to be a box of mutton fat jade, gems and gold bracelets. Chen Shi was startled, and hurriedly said: "How embarrassing is this, Lingzhu is a small child's family, where can he use so many things, and the elders are too doting." ”
The third old lady smiled warmly: "What's this, our Xie family, although it is not obvious now, but the foundation has been there for many years." For example, this jade, any piece of jade, has been used for hundreds of years, and it is all used by the ancestors. The old sister-in-law at home heard that we had another daughter-in-law, no, she immediately found out. The girls in our family, who are golden and noble, naturally have to use the best things to make it. ”
The last time Chen saw the eldest lady of the sixth room of the Xie family in Nanling, the old lady was really a kind Buddha face, and she spoke the most kindly, but she did things and didn't give people face at all. Chen accompanied her to speak, and was beaten with wind and rain, as if she didn't ask her husband to accept the concubine room, she was a big sinner, and she was almost taken to the ancestral hall to apologize to her ancestors. Since then, she has had a lot of shadows on the Nanling Xie family. This time, it was not that one who heard it, but the old lady in the third room, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Although this third old lady is not easy to get along with at first glance, it seems that it is much easier to deal with compared to that one.
Chen received the gift and was secretly rejoicing, and heard the third old lady say, "By the way, what about the sixth girl?" I've come all the way to see her, so I'm here to see her, so I can take it out and let me see her. ”
Chen commanded, and soon saw Xie Lingzhu being carried out by the nurse.
Seeing that her daughter was awake, Chen took it and asked the nurse if the child had been breastfed.
As soon as the nurse replied, she saw that the third old lady was frowning and unhappy.
It's not that she didn't give the child directly to herself because the nurse didn't give it to herself, but she disagreed with Chen's holding the child.
"If you want to say something, I shouldn't have said it, but our Xie family, since we are not a small family, there are some things, we still have to pay attention, so as not to be laughed at."
Chen's face was blue, and he didn't understand what it meant for this old lady to bury herself like this in front of her subordinates.
"I wonder what the old lady means?"
The third old lady said: "You are the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xie family, and the future Duchess of the country, you must know what your identity is." Chen, you are the wife of the house, but you are not a wet nurse, how can there be a wife in charge of the house to hold the child herself? This is known, but it will be laughed at. ”
