4. Chapter 4
The old man Xie Jingting also paid attention to the news of the big house, and when he heard that his daughter-in-law gave birth to a daughter, he was so disappointed that he didn't even have the strength to take medicine, and he just wanted to rest with his eyes closed.
Hearing the eldest son begging to see him, he said that he knew what to do, and he was not ready to see this newborn little granddaughter at all.
But when he heard Wang Yuan's words, he came back and said that Xie Yun was guarding outside the door and was unwilling to leave, and even his frail and sickly grandson Xie Lingjiao was outside, so he was a little angry.
He was about to tell the butler to blow people away, but he saw the butler hurrying in.
"Don't be angry, uncle, I'm here to say hello to you."
Xie Jingting gave birth to three sons and two daughters, except for the youngest daughter who has not yet married, the other eldest daughter and three sons have been married for many years, and many grandchildren have also been born. A newborn granddaughter, even the eldest son's concubine, was not so important that he had to be summoned by him when he was seriously ill.
The housekeeper naturally knew that the old man was so cold because he was disappointed in the thin heirs of the long house. In the past, he wouldn't come up at this time to find suspicion, but today is a big event, and the old man will know sooner or later, so it's better for him to say it, and it's also pleasing to him.
So he said: "Not only the uncle, but the old slave must also congratulate the old man first." Just now, the eldest lady gave birth to a little daughter, our little daughter can be a great blessing, born with a bead in her hand, such a miracle can only come out of our Xie family. It was precisely because of this great joy that the uncle hurriedly brought the second brother to congratulate the master. ”
Xie Jingting listened to the housekeeper's words, and his brows furrowed: "This is true?" ”
It's not that he doesn't believe his old butler, it's that what he says is really incredible. It is difficult to say that the eldest daughter-in-law is trying to keep the title of the long house, so she does some crooked things to fool people.
But this time, he miscalculated.
The old housekeeper said: "This matter is absolutely true, and the stable women have not left yet, and they can all testify." What's more, the old lady and the second and third wives were all there at that time, and they couldn't fake it in full view. Besides, that bead is really rare in the world, even if someone fakes it, where did he get such a bead? Sister is outside the door at this time, whether it is true or not, you can find out when you call in, master. ”
The old wife and the eldest son are not in harmony, of course, Xie Jingting is not ignorant of this. If you want to say anything else, he still believes that his wife will not help his eldest son cheat.
Thinking of this, the old man nodded, asked the butler to help him sit up, and ordered, "Let them come in." ”
Wang Yuan went out and invited Xie Yun's father and son in.
The old man didn't pay attention to Xie Yun, but took the lead in ordering the housekeeper to bring a soft chair over, let Xie Lingjiao sit down, and watched him take the blanket and wrap his grandson tightly to feel at ease.
Xie Lingjiao thanked him and stopped talking. After this experience in the morning, his little face has long been devoid of a trace of blood. The housekeeper was clever and told Wang Yuan to fetch her medicine.
When the old man saw that his grandson had been settled, he looked at his eldest son who was standing on the side.
"Okay, let's talk, what the hell is going on?"
Xie Yun hugged the little girl in her arms, and her face was flushed with joy.
Hearing his father's inquiry, he showed off shyly: "Naturally, it's a great event, father!" I'm afraid that this daughter of mine will be descended from heaven and fall into our Xie family. The son was overjoyed, thinking in his heart that if the family wronged her, she would inevitably be punished by God, so he hurriedly came to discuss with his father to see if he could draw some silver out and build a Wenxian Pavilion for his daughter......
Xie Lingjiao on the side listened with black lines on his face, his father, who usually looks like a kaolin flower, died in the dust, and didn't pay attention to anything. At this time, in front of the old man, he actually babbled about what fairies went down to earth, but he really didn't get rid of it. Not to mention the old man, listening to his words, he was so angry that his beard was cocked.
"Return to the immortals, what a big breath!"
Xie Yun was even more proud, "It's not a heavenly immortal, but my father is talking about who has such a surprising origin in the world." As he spoke, he lifted his daughter's clenched right hand and said, "Why don't you tell your father, how can there be such beads in the world?" ”
Xie Jingting lowered his head and looked at his newborn little granddaughter.
The little girl was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and her skin was as white as snow and crystal clear. There is also that black hair, very dense and dead, the old man has also seen a lot of newborns, and it is the first time he has seen a child who has just been born so neat.
The baby girl's eyes were closed at this time, and her slender eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, as if she had fallen into some dream. And the little fist she clenched tightly was slowly pushed away a little by her father Xie Yun, revealing the beads inside.
Naturally, Xie Yun felt sorry for his daughter, and he didn't break it as hard as the old lady, he just opened a crack and let the bead show a little. But this alone also scared the old man.
"This ......"
His voice trembled a little, and he couldn't help but grab his granddaughter's hand, wanting to see what was going on.
With the experience of the last time, Xie Yun didn't let the old man come hard, the father and son held the child, rubbed and dialed, and it took a long time to let the child's hand go.
When the whole picture of the beads was revealed, everyone present was stunned, exactly the same as the reaction of the old lady and others when they saw the beads.
"This ...... That's a ......."
The old housekeeper, who had lived for a long time, was already in tears at this time: "I really didn't expect that I would be able to see such a miracle after I lived a lifetime, an old slave." ”
Xie Jingting hadn't come back to his senses yet, his eyes were looking at the beads that were rare in this world, and his mind was already running fast.
Is his Xie family really favored by God? If this is true, then it is terrible, there is no such miracle in the whole world, if it is really from their Xie family, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.
Look at the bead again, it is round and round, the size of a bird's egg. The beads are crystal clear, and the clear water can generally see the palm print of the child on the other side. And in the center of the bead, there is a small purple-blue flower quietly blooming, the flower seems to be frozen in ice, no flowers bloom, and time is eternal.
Xie Jingting stretched out his hand and touched it, it was not cold, but because he had been held by the child for a long time, it was still a little warm.
He wanted to look more closely, so he picked up the beads, but he did not know that this one would cause great trouble. The baby girl, who was still sleeping quietly, immediately pouted and began to cry heartbreakingly.
Xie Yun hurriedly explained: "Father quickly return the beads, she is angry." ”
The old man was stunned for a moment, and tried to put the beads back into the child's hand, and sure enough, the little baby felt that his things had returned to the palm plate, so he held the little hand again, and his mouth was deflated, and he stopped crying.
The butler was amazed: "This is really a spiritual ......"
But he saw that the old man took the child's hand away again and took out the beads. As expected, the child immediately began to cry again, and as soon as he returned it, the little thing stopped crying again.
After trying back and forth like this twice, the old man finally believed his son's words.
This bead is rare in the world, but it is difficult to guarantee that someone can fake it. But children can't deceive people, is this really God's intention?
"Hold the child well, you must take care of it, remember to remember."
Xie Jingting was excited, as if he was more than ten years younger, and even the symptoms on his body had disappeared a lot.
Seeing his father so excited, Xie Yun was even more proud: "How about father, am I right?" Haha, this is my daughter, my dear! Sure enough, God knows who is good and who is bad, huh! Only then did he give the proud daughter of heaven to compensate his son. ”
"You bastard, you don't have a proper shape. If you don't learn well, you will have no face when your child grows up, and you won't be able to think about it like usual in the future. ”
Xie Yunzheng was proud, after listening to the old man's words, he thought that he now has both children and daughters, if he doesn't have a good plan, his daughter is afraid that she will become fat on the chopping board of others.
Thinking of this, Xie Yun's face finally became stern, and when he looked at his sick and weak son and this little girl like this pearl, he secretly regretted that he was too willful in the past.
The old man was about to say a few more words to him, but seeing that he finally listened to his words, he stopped talking.
To be honest, he also thought it was quite strange. If you want to say that your eldest son is really annoying, just because of a little setback, he just let it go by himself, and he just doesn't take his future seriously. For this reason, he scolded several times, hating to have to recognize this son, but he didn't know what was going on, but this bastard was the best at giving birth to children, the second grandson Xie Lingjiao never forgot it, and he was a genius, and even the white scholar saw it, and said that this son was very talented.
It's a pity that Xie Lingjiao is not in good health, and he can't even go to the school often, and if he can live a few more days, he has to look at God.
Another example is the granddaughter in front of her, who was born with a bead, this kind of thing is not only as simple as Tianzhong Talent, but even if it is operated properly, it can't be said to be ......
The old man forced himself to hold down his fiery heart, calmed himself down, and said, "A-Yuan, pen and ink are waiting." ”
When Wang Yuan heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward to grind the ink, and the housekeeper also came back to his senses, and happily went to get a pen and paper to study for Lao Tzu, and put it on the bed with a wooden plank.
"My granddaughter is hiding pearls, is this name...... I don't think about it. ”
After speaking, he lifted the wolf carved pen, dipped it in new ink, and wrote three words on the paper.
Xie Lingzhu.
When Xie Yun saw it, he immediately smiled.
"Thank you, thank you, father."
It is necessary to know that the descendants of the Xie family are particular about their names, such as the current grandchildren, the man is from the spirit, and the daughter is from the min. Naming this newborn Xie Lingzhu is the same as his grandchildren, which shows how much he values it.
Xie Jingting stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "The Chen family is meritorious, you have to treat her well." As for the Chen family......" said after a pause, he still said: "Let the housekeeper go to say goodbye in person." ”
The steward took the order and bowed out.
The old man instructed Xie Yun a few more words, and then let him go back. After all, the child has just been born, although as long as no one grabs her beads, she will be quiet and well-behaved, but the child will still be hungry, and it is serious to let the nurse feed her as soon as possible.
