CHAPTER XXVII
At this moment, Xie Yuan, the Duke of Zhongguo, sat on the circle chair in the old lady's inner room, and because of the thirst he had just finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and drank it in one go.
On the wall of the old lady's inner room hangs a picture of Guanyin sitting down. In the middle of the long table next to the bed is a three-legged incense burner made of cloisonnΓ© enamel, from which the smell of sandalwood is waving.
"So, they're going to tie up with that one with all their hearts." The old lady was half-lying on the bed, expressionless.
According to his son, it was so, and he said that the day was set. Although it is a concubine, Duanwangfu promises to welcome it in with the etiquette of a side concubine. β
"Phew, what the hell. I want to bring the bird, but I can't bear the rice in my own hand, and if I can't borrow it from ours, I will fight other people's ideas. The family didn't have a good look, so don't get it to the end, but the birds attracted pecked at the eyes of his whole family. The old lady was a little excited when she said this, and she coughed.
"Mother, don't be like this, it's not worth it for such a family." Because there were only two mothers and sons in the house, Xie Yuan hurriedly stood up to smooth his mother's back, and was about to pour water again, but was stopped by the old lady.
"You said you only turned 12 this year?"
"Exactly, it is said that it is also raised like a treasure at home, but ......"
"Evil, that one is also 33 years old this year, right?"
"Yes, it's my birthday this spring."
"You write this to the second and third children as it is, Xie Hai also has to be watched, and it is best to arrange for someone to be around, so that we can know how to go down."
"Yes, the son has sent for the messenger. It's just that I don't know if it's my son's delusion, I always feel that my uncle may have communicated with that person in advance, or that he had paid attention to our sister Fang, who met in the palace a few days ago, and that person seemed to think that his son didn't know how to lift. β
"He farts", the old man rarely said a foul word. "Zhenzhen'er doesn't even want to have a face, the emperor pretends to be a filial son and a virtuous grandson, and he specializes in doing this kind of thing that harms other people's little girls behind his back. It's just a prince, and the future is not yet decided, so he trembled because of a few nonsense words from that old way. Is it easy to bully when my government is in the government? Okay Xie Changfeng, hit the idea on my granddaughter's head, you wait, this breath is not out, I am not Lin Zhong's granddaughter. β
"Second uncle's son is not worried, he is always under our noses. It's this Xie Hai, I don't know how he moved the second uncle, so that his old man was so resolute, and he stood in the team with such a clear banner. β
"What else can it be, it is nothing more than the word profit. Their family's candidate is already unjustifiable. I advised your father at the time, don't be like this, how can the military exploits of the third child support their pockets. But your father said that he was a loyal prince, and he couldn't watch his brother's life worse than one day at a time. Such a big person cried so much that he knelt in front of your father with a handful of snot and tears, hey~ Your father responded to him with a soft heart, and now it seems that it is better to be his second master at that time, than his current ambition. The old lady took a sip of tea from her son's hand, motioned for him to sit down, and continued,
"People are like this, if they have this, they want that, if it's just that An Fen is doing his Huai'en Houye, it's just that Xie Hai is out of the way, and the person who has stirred up half of the soil has lived his mind."
"My son has always been unable to understand this, what is this Xie Hai going to do, how does he get involved with that person, and how do you think you can bet on the right treasure? When I was squeezed out by my aunt, my mother gave me two hundred taels of silver, but now I have been created, but I put the contradiction on our family? β
"He didn't want to target our family, he should still think about tying Huai'en Houfu to the boat first, so he would let Sister Ping marry. I just hate this point, your family doesn't want Sister Ping to jump into the fire pit, but you want me Sister Fang to go. Joke, my sister Fang is the concubine of the Zhongguo Mansion, that is to be the daughter-in-law of the deceased family, to be a concubine for a prince who is more than 20 years older than herself, and she said that it is decent. I regret it now, why wasn't the bowl of tea that day piping hot, and poured on Na Gu's face, so that she couldn't go out for the rest of her life. "When it came to what Mrs. Huai Enhou said in front of her before going to Zhuangzi, the old lady couldn't wait to strangle her.
"There is one more thing, you and the Tan family will sum it up." The old lady sat up from her bed.
"Mother please command." Xie Yuan hurriedly stood up and stood respectfully opposite the old lady.
"What you just said is right, no one knows if Xie Hai took the initiative to send Sister Ping to this matter, or if it was the one who paid attention to our Sister Fang. If the one who only knew that Xie Hai was going to send a daughter of the Xie family back, if that was what that person meant, then we would be passive. β
Xie Yuan was also shocked when he heard his mother say this, and said: "My son didn't expect this, it's really as his mother said, it's ......."
"So, now I have to tell Sister Fang about a family matter, and the higher the better, do you understand?"
"Yes, my son knows. Now that Sister Fang is back, her son will ask Tan to take Sister Fang out and walk around more. β
"Well, I'm not busy, I've been out for a long time this time, and when I come back, I always invite the old sisters to get together, and I invite the family first. Also, don't always draw and fill in the words all day long, let her inquire more about the school-age people in Beijing when she is fine, you still have two sons! β
Listening to his mother talk about his daughter-in-law again, Xie Yuan lowered his head and didn't speak, sometimes he didn't blame his mother, the family affairs of the two sons and one daughter were all decided by the mother. Looking at his mother's almost white hair, Xie Yuan felt a deep sense of guilt in his heart.
Because Xie Ying and Xie Xin were both old enough to live in the outer courtyard, even their sisters' courtyards were not allowed to come often, so Brother Lang had another errand that made him proud, that is, to tell the story he heard from Wisteria to his two uncles.
So I got up early the next morning, stretched my neck to see if the big girl who had inquired had come back. Brother Yue also put on a little foot and looked at it with his brother. Xie Zhong, who had finished dressing, walked out of the inner room, and saw his two sons, dressed in the same clothes, lying on the edge of the door and looking out, and he only felt funny. But he has always been in line with the opinion of Yan Li's godson, and cleared his throat and said
"I've already sent someone to ask, if your second aunt is free, she will let you go, if you don't have time today, it's nothing, and it's okay to listen to it tomorrow." Hurry up and pack up Lisuo, it's time to go and say goodbye to the elders."
When Brother Lang heard his father talking behind him, he hurriedly turned around, saluted Xie Zhongyi, and then took Brother Yue'er's hand and walked towards the banquet. Xu Shi followed out of the inner room, looked at the two sons, and said with a smile, "Don't talk about Brother Lang, even the concubine likes to hear those stories?" β
Xie Zhong turned around with a doting expression, "Oh~ It's even better than the story that my husband told last night?" β
Xu Shi remembered her husband's nonsense in bed last night, blushed for a while, stretched out her hand and slapped the prince's chest coquettishly, turned around and walked quickly to the two sons.
Xie Zhong walked forward behind with a sullen smile. This wife of mine is satisfied. She is beautiful, has a good family background, and does things pungent without losing her little daughter's feelings. The most important thing is that I liked it when I first started my relationship, but I didn't expect to marry her as I wished. The two have been married for six years and have two sons, who are loved by their grandmothers, loved by their parents, respected by their younger brothers and sisters, and keep the family in good order. The husband and wife can be described as having good affection, and there are only two small service rooms around him for so many years, Xie Zhong is extremely satisfied with his current small family.
As soon as the family of four left the courtyard gate of Canglang Garden, the girl who went to talk to the second lady came back. Brother Lang looked anxious to ask, but he was afraid of his father, so he stood there grinding the bluestone bricks with his feet.
The little girl came over and stood aside. Xu asked, "What did the second miss say?" β
"The second novel is called the slave maid to tell the young master Lang, and after greeting the old lady, you can go directly to the Grace Garden, and ask the wisteria to finish the little master first."
Xie Zhong watched his son resist the urge to jump up, and thought to himself, if he wasn't behind him, he would definitely cheer, this story is really so good, I have a chance to meet this storyteller.
