7. Chapter 7
Xie Jing accompanied Xie Lingjiao to dinner, and when she heard that the old man had woken up, she told Xie Lingjiao to recuperate well and go to Yinzheng Hall to see the old man by herself.
As soon as Xie Jingting woke up, he knew that the eldest daughter was coming, so he asked Wang Yuan to serve and dress and sit up.
Xie Jing was very happy when he saw that he looked better than last time, and said, "My father's body has improved, which means that the six girls in our family are blessed." ”
The old man laughed: "You have a fate with her, and you will say good things about her as soon as you come." ”
Xie Lingzhu is ranked sixth, and now she is an important figure in the Xie family, Xie Jing mentioned her, and she also smiled with her eyebrows: "I just saw her, that girl can sleep, I stayed in Zihu Courtyard for a while, but I didn't see her wake up." Being able to eat and sleep is, of course, a good blessing. ”
Xie Jing didn't mention the bead at all, but this kind of thing, both of them knew it very well in their hearts, Xie Lingzhu's blessing was naturally because of that bead.
Xie Jingting sat for a while, and was a little weak, Xie Jing took the cushion and asked the old man to half-lean on the recliner.
"Let's be straight, what did you come to see me for?"
Xie Jingting joined the army in his early years, and it was not until the world was calm that he saw his eldest daughter for the first time. And Xie Jing has been by Lao Taijun's side since she was a child, and she has little contact with him, his father, and he gets along differently from other fathers and daughters. However, because of the guilt of his wife, Xie Jingting also connived at this daughter.
Knowing that she didn't have something important, she wouldn't make a special trip back, so she asked this question.
Xie Jing didn't beat around the bush, and said directly: "I naturally came to see my famous little niece, but by the way, I also came to ask my father what he meant, I heard that the house intends to skip the eldest brother and ask the second brother Xie Xun to be the son?" This doesn't seem to be the right thing. ”
Sure enough, that's it! Xie Jingting sighed and said, "Your eldest brother is astute, but he ...... He is unstable and too unmotivated. ”
Of course, Xie Jingting took a fancy to his eldest son, but he was indeed dissatisfied with Xie Yun.
Xie Jing frowned: "Brother Ni Wall, the family is not harmonious." If the family is not harmonious, what else can you talk about? Father, you're a fool. ”
The old man was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "You are not a filial daughter, you actually said that your father is old and confused." ”
"Aren't you just an old fool?" Xie Jing snorted coldly: "Don't think I don't know what's going on?" Isn't it just for the sake of her grandmother, who still holds a grudge? It's ridiculous to say, even if my mother died young, she was always the wife of the sect wife that the Xie family was marrying, and the following brothers and sisters, no matter what, they have to be called mothers. Even if you don't remember your name, will the Xie family still have less of my mother's offerings? It's just that my grandmother is old, and it is not easy to pity my mother, and she wants to fulfill her little thoughts. It's good that she really treats her son as an enemy. But to be a son, this matter must not be neglected, if she is really unhappy, the father will pity his son, and then move the eldest brother's name back, it will be good for her to be happy, right? ”
Xie Jing was blunt, not paying attention to euphemism at all, the old man puffed out his face, and sighed for a long time: "It's always me who owes your mother, don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”
"You can't count it, you have to give me an accurate word. Just the way you see you lying sick in bed really makes me feel at the bottom of my heart. ”
The old man has been sick for a long time, and he may be gone one day, everyone is muttering about this in their hearts, but no one is like Xie Jing to say it clearly.
Xie Jingting really served this daughter, if she was someone else's daughter, she would have been beaten out long ago if she dared to talk to Lao Tzu like this.
It's just that Xie Jing has been like this since she was a child, even if the old man is angry, he has been angry for many years, and he has long been used to it. Hearing her say this, not only did she not feel angry, but she felt that this girl was bright and upright, and she had her own style back then.
Well, as a person who started with martial arts, the old man was also known for his straightforward temperament in his early years, but he still didn't respond to Xie Jing's words.
Xie Jing waited for a while, and finally whispered, "Could it be that my father is worried, and I still remember what happened back then?" ”
"You make me think again."
This is acquiescence in disguise.
Since this is the case, Xie Jing is also quite helpless, she said: "Anyway, the matter has already happened, my father didn't expel my eldest brother from the house back then, so why bother now?" If you really care about it, whether it's the eldest brother or the second brother, it doesn't make a difference. Besides, in my opinion, the incident has passed, no matter what the eldest brother says, he is also the son of the Xie family, and he can't be ...... because of an outsider."
Xie Jing said as she spoke, seeing that her father's face was not good, she didn't say any more. She knew that her father's heart knotted that she always took glory and power too seriously, so she was timid. It's no wonder that there were not a few people who followed the incident today, and there were not a few kings who worshiped the prime minister, and their family worked hard for many years, and they couldn't get a third-class marquis.
Of course, the father is old and in poor health, when the daughter's stabbing him from time to time, she still feels sorry for her old father, so she explained: "Besides, father, it's not that I talk too much, if it was before, the son of the world would be vague." But now you have also seen that the birth of the six girls caused a storm in the city, and even the saints were alarmed. Lingzhu's background is bizarre, and there are very few people who want to make a big fuss about this matter, and it is impossible for Yingguo Mansion not to get involved in the turmoil. The father thinks that with the talent of the second brother, he can keep the government and the six girls? Or the government is just that, how much attention will he give back to protect the six girls? ”
According to her, Xie Lingzhu's life experience should have been full of death from the beginning. What is born to hide pearls, if it is really good for the government and good for the children, it should be nothing, hide it and don't let it out.
Unfortunately......
My father was still too anxious, probably because he felt that his time was running out, so he couldn't help it.
Xie Jingting listened to his daughter's words, was silent for a long time, and finally said, "Hey! Your dad and I aren't really old fools. I did have doubts about the matter of the son, although Lingjiao is intelligent, but his body is ...... Your eldest brother has no intention of going to court because of what happened back then, I think that although the second brother is old-fashioned, he still has an enterprising spirit. But now...... With the six girls, I think the boss has to think about it. ”
Xie Jing smiled, knowing what the old man meant.
She stood up happily and said, "Hey, it turned out that I was self-inflicted." No wonder my grandmother used to say that I couldn't always think that I was the smartest person, otherwise I would make jokes sooner or later. Aren't you going to make me laugh today? Knowing that my father knew this, I should have been as steady as Mount Tai, and I didn't have to waste so many words. ”
"Humph! You're just deliberately looking for a chance to stab me in the face, I don't know yet? ”
"Father has wronged me, and my daughter's kindness can be shown to the sun and ......the moon."
Xie Jing accompanied the old man to talk and laugh, and left in the evening.
When I came out, I passed through the small garden gate, and I saw Xie Man from a distance, and I didn't say hello, and left directly.
Xie Man blushed on the spot and turned back in embarrassment.
Liu waited for a long time, but the person who had made an appointment to embroider with him did not come, so he only sent someone over, saying that he was suddenly unwell and couldn't come, as a sister-in-law, she naturally wanted to take a look.
When he arrived at the Hanyan Pavilion, he saw that Xie Man was really embarrassed, so he asked, "Why is the little sister suddenly bad?" What's wrong with it? Can you send someone to get a doctor? ”
Liu's is the main room of the third master Xie Wen, Xie Wen is a concubine, he has always been blind to the old lady, and he has no ability to settle down, so that Liu's daughter-in-law can't stiffen her waist in the inner house. She not only has to look at the faces of the old lady and her two sisters-in-law on weekdays, but also has to be angry with Xie Man, the sister-in-law.
Xie Man contracted chickenpox a few years ago and was sent to Zhuangzi to recuperate, but later his illness recovered, but he left a few acne marks on his face. The girl has a good face, and she can't think about it for a while, and she doesn't want to come back to see people.
After using a lot of medicine and raising it for several years, the acne marks on my face finally faded, and I returned to Beijing.
She is seventeen years old, and it is indeed the age when she should say goodbye, and it is not a way to hide in Zhuangzi anymore.
However, although the mark on her face is light, the mark in her heart is still there, even if she returns to Beijing, she cares about other people's opinions, and when there is something wrong with the eyes of others, she thinks that others look down on her.
For example, Fang Cai, Xie Jing just ignored her, and she felt greatly insulted. It must be known that Xie Jing's attitude towards her is no different from before, but she just ignores it. Because Xie Jing doesn't like the Pan family, she doesn't want to have any intersection with the children she born, if it weren't for Xie Yun's affection for the late old lady, she probably wouldn't have taken care of the life and death of the big house.
At this time, because of Xie Jing's attitude, Xie Man drilled the tip of the horns, where did he have to ask for a doctor, and he leaned on the chaise longue alone and cried silently.
Liu asked for a long time, but she didn't say a word, and in the end, it was Dongmei, the girl next to Xie Man, who couldn't hold back and told her what she had just done.
After hearing what happened, Liu sighed in his heart, this sister-in-law is really as careful as a needle, if you want to say that the aunt and grandmother don't even give the old lady face. Isn't it normal to ignore this younger sister who is more than a decade younger than her and has no affection?
The eldest girl was like this before she got married, and she didn't see how uncomfortable Xie Man was, but since she had chickenpox, she left two scars on her face, and her mind has become smaller.
Thinking so, Liu had to persuade her: "The eldest aunt and grandmother came for a day, maybe there was something urgent, and she left in a hurry, and it was possible that she didn't have time to say hello to the girl, and the little sister didn't have to be sad about this." ”
"Sister-in-law, I know you're comforting me. The eldest sister's eyes are clear, she looks down on me, I know. The entire Xie family, everyone looks down on me, and I know it very well in my heart. ”
"Little sister, what are these words? You are the aunt and grandmother in the house, not to mention others, it is the old lady and the old lady, and your three brothers, which one does not hold you in the palm of your hand? You say these things, so that the old lady will listen, I don't know how sad it is. ”
It's okay not to say it, but who knows that this said, Xie Man was even more unhappy.
She covered her face with one hand, stared at the ground with her eyes stunned, and did not say a word, ignoring what others said.
Liu was powerless, but he couldn't go back, so he had to pick up some other words and say, "Okay, little sister, don't do this again." For your sake, the old lady broke her heart. I also heard the old lady say yesterday that the Song family handed over a post, saying that it would be the three girls of the Song family in a few days, and invited the old lady to take the girls to watch the ceremony together. ”
The Song family intends to marry the Xie family, and Mrs. Song has seen Xie Man once, and her words are full of praise. This time, they were specially invited over, and it seems that this family affair is not far away.
After all, Xie Man is seventeen years old, and he knows this point, and when it comes to his own family affairs, the girl's family is always shallow and embarrassed. This shyness, in the end, forgot what happened just now, and began to guess the character of the future Xianggong.
Liu comforted Xie Man, and when he saw that it was not early, he was ready to accompany Xie Man to eat before going back.
Before the meal came up, she saw Mama Qin running in a hurry, and Liu saw her in a hurry, her face was full of panic, and she reprimanded very dissatisfiedly: "What's wrong?" What does a rush of fire look like? ”
Where can Mama Qin take care of any etiquette, and said in a panic, "Madam, something happened, I'm afraid the second brother is not good, and the fourth brother is also over there, go over and take a look." ”
Liu jumped up in horror: "Second brother is not good? What do you mean by being bad? ”
"The second brother was pushed into the water, and I was afraid of ...... I'm afraid it won't work! ”
