Xie Yuan sat on the Taishi chair in his study and didn't squeak for a long time. Qi Bo pushed open the door and came in, put a food box on the square table, went to get the big teapot again, and slowly filled it with the teacup on Xie Yuan's table. Put down the teapot and take the dishes out of the food box one by one.

Xie Yuan didn't need him to shout himself, picked up the teacup just now and slowly walked to the square table, and ate quietly. For a very simple dinner, Xie Yuan ate it very slowly, chewing every bite in his mouth for a long time. When Xie Yuan finished eating, Qi Bo didn't wait for him to speak, and sat down to eat what Xie Yuan had eaten.

After the two of them had finished eating, Qi Bo also cleaned up. Xie Yuan pushed open the window of the study, let the north wind mixed with snowflakes drift in, and said in a low voice,

"Qi Bo, this decision is not easy to make, do you have to do it? Is there any other way? ”

Qi Bo held a huge coarse porcelain bowl that was extremely inconsistent with his physique, stood behind Xie Yuan, and drank slowly.

"Grandpa Guo, although the general direction of our previous calculations was correct, and the old lady also said that as long as we are loyal to the emperor safely, our Guogong Mansion will not be wrong. However, it is not the same thing to be innocent and meritorious, and it is not the same thing to be innocent and not to help in the future.

"Just now, the prince also said that today's affairs between Mrs. Shizi and Xie Zhi are not in our hands, and even the third master of the Yue family can't find out the secrets of this, what does this mean?

"This shows that the palace is really unfathomable, and it is not to be underestimated that Xie Zhi can do one step in just two and a half years, and she clearly revealed her bottom to us, and she doesn't even care if we can agree or not.

"Grandpa Guo" Qi Bo turned to look at Xie Yuan and said, "You have to choose, sometimes you can't be deceived by appearances, there is an old saying, 'It's easy to put icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow'." ”

Xie Yuan turned to look at Qi Bo's eyes that revealed clear light, and bowed his head slightly.

"I can't do such a big thing alone, and when the secret letter from the second and third brother arrives, I will discuss it with my mother. You sue Sù Zhong'er, first test the line Xie Zhi said, and ensure safety. ”

Although Wisteria saw what Xu and Xie Zhi wrote that day, because she was illiterate, Xu didn't doubt her at all. Wisteria experienced the benefits of pretending to be illiterate for the first time, and it had been almost a month since that day, and she hadn't seen Yue Zhen again, but there was no shortage of sweetness in her heart.

The plaster in the bottle had been wiped off by her, and the scar on her forehead had healed, but Wisteria was reluctant to throw away the empty bottle, so she took it out and looked at it when she was fine, just like now.

He said that he was going to the south for a while, and he didn't know if he could come back for the New Year, and there was still more than a month to go before the New Year. But what did he do in the South? Was it to see his ex-wife's parents or to sweep the grave of his ex-wife?

Thinking of the woman she had never seen before, the woman who could make Yue Zhen guard for so many years, Wisteria felt uncomfortable. After thinking about it, I felt funny, what's wrong with me, what do you care about with someone who is not there?

"Wisteria, wisteria......" Cai'er pushed open the door and came in, with an excited face.

"How many times have I told you, this is in the upper room, why are you still yelling." Wisteria hurriedly put the bottle back in the box.

"Wisteria, you know what? Miss Ying's marriage is decided. ”

"Oh~ who?" Wisteria has a good impression of this Xie Ying, smarter than Xie Fang but without losing the feelings of a little daughter, and is also good to them.

"It's the nephew of the old lady's mother's family, and now she is editing in the Hanlin Academy, 19 years old this year, and she is the third child in the family, and I heard that she looks like a ......."

"Oh, okay, okay, Shibao asked, I know."

"How many times have I told you, don't call me Shi Bao to inquire, it's really ugly, just call me Bao to inquire." Cai'er pretended to be angry and sat on the embroidery stool, but she didn't let Wisteria answer,

"Oh, you said that Miss Ying's marriage is decided, do you have to go home, why don't you have to get married?"

"What? The date is set. ”

"I don't know, I didn't inquire about this, I just think Miss Ying is more blessed than Miss Fang."

Wisteria was stunned when she heard this, "Why do you say that?" ”

"Wisteria, don't look at Miss Fang's marriage to the county prince's mansion, but she is the eldest son of the concubine, the second son of the Yuan and the third son of the continuation string, what a mess, and I heard that the second master Jian is a person who teases cats and dogs, and is a famous gentleman in this capital."

"Ouch, we Cai'er also know about the gentlemen." Wisteria said with a smile.

"Don't interrupt, seriously, how can Miss Fang cope with marrying into such a family. But not as good as Miss Ying, I heard that the old lady's maiden family Zhongwu Bofu has a very strict family education, this third young master is young and does not rely on the grace of the family to take the road of the imperial examination, and also won the Jinshi, if you seek a release in the future, Miss Ying followed, there is no in-laws and no aunts, how good. Cai'er said as she fiddled with a small Western doll on the table and said very seriously, it was given to Wisteria by Xie Fang.

Wisteria sat on the bed and looked at Cai'er from behind, in her cognition, Cai'er has always been a person who is very grinning and can say whatever she wants. has a sweet mouth, is clever, and has a thick skin, she is not angry when anyone jokes with her, and everyone in Graceland likes her.

But today's words made Wisteria look at Cai'er with admiration, if she hadn't come through it, in such a society, a native feudal girl, she couldn't find a few people in this society who could have such vision and insight.

Cai'er seemed to feel Wisteria's gaze, turned half of her body and said with a smile, "Actually, if I have a choice, I like to follow Miss Ying, but it's impossible." ”

Wisteria said seriously, "Cai'er, I didn't hear what you said today, do you understand?" ”

"I know, that's what I said, I'm the heartless person when I leave your door." After speaking, he showed a big smile at Wisteria.

The days slipped by like water, and in a blink of an eye, the Spring Festival of the twenty-sixth year of Jing'an came to the Zhongguo Mansion in a red notice.

Wisteria was wearing a new dark red cardigan, with two yellow golden hairpins on her head, and two small lantern-style earrings hanging from her ears, and she was matching Xie Fang's clothes.

"Wisteria, what do you think I'll give to Sister Ying?" Xie Ying's marriage was decided first, and Xie Yun's wedding date was in May, so Xie Ying was going home after the spring. Xie Fang was extremely reluctant to hear this, but there was no way to do it, there was still more than a month before Xie Ying left, so he put his family background out every day to pick out gifts for Xie Ying.

Wisteria handed the selected clothes into Chunrou's hands, and Chunrou ironed them. Tomorrow is the Spring Banquet of Huainan Houfu. Every year from the fifteenth day of the first lunar month after the Chinese New Year, each government will hold a spring banquet, because Xie Fang is going to get married in the autumn, so the Tan family picks some spring banquets held by relatives in their own family for Xie Fang to go. Huainan Houfu is Xie Rong's in-law's house, and Xie Fang naturally wants to go.

"See, this gift is in your heart. You don't have to rush to deliver these things just yet. Wisteria looked at the pile of gold, silver and jewelry that Xie Fang put out, and only felt that people, no dynasty could not do without a vulgar word.

"The music box slave that the second young master brought back to you last time thinks it's good." Wisteria looked at Xie Fang's awkward look and knew that she was reluctant, no wonder Xie Fang liked it, the music box was brought back to Xie Fang by Xie Yi when he sent someone from Huguang to deliver a gift to Xie Fang.

In fact, it is similar to the predecessor of the modern music box, but when you open the lid, a little rabbit pops out with the sound of ding dong, and it can't turn or sing, but it's not easy in this era. At that time, Xie Ying also liked it very much, how could she bear to be such a one, and Xie Yi named Xie Fang, and even Brother Lang only did it.

"Second Miss, the key to giving gifts is to make people remember their feelings. You see, you don't lack a lot of jewelry Miss Ying at all, and a lot of it is given to you and Miss Ying by the old lady and the lady, how can she like it if you give it to her? And if you give her this music box, she thinks that this is what you usually like, and she gives it to her, then she will be so touched that she will like you even more in the future.

"But that's all I have." Xie Fang casually picked up the music box on the Duobao Pavilion and played with it in his hand.

"The slave maid thinks so, if the second young master knows that you gave this to Miss Ying as a gift, then he will definitely find another one for you to send back, and it must be a more beautiful one."

"You're right, the second brother can't see me less than others. Sister Ying wouldn't care if she didn't have him, but I wouldn't care if I didn't have him. ”

"Mother Liu, you wrap this up, don't tell Sister Sù Ying first, I'll give it to her when she leaves, let her be happy." Xie Fang handed the music box to Liu's mother and commanded loudly, as if waiting for Liu's mother to praise her.

"Hey~ Second Miss is really a person who pays attention to sisterly feelings. Wisteria is right, nothing can compare to the feelings between sisters, this kind of thing is to get it again. Our second lady has really grown up. ”

Xie Fang was embarrassed by Liu's mother's words, and pretended to be impatient and said, "Okay, okay, don't say it again, out of the New Year, the nurturing grandma will come to talk every day, don't make a mess." ”

According to the regulations of the Great Xia Dynasty, all women who marry into the palace will be specially assigned by the palace to teach them half a year before they get married, and the county palace is no exception.

"Oh, Wisteria, you can go to Defeng Tower with me tomorrow, I still believe in your vision, I have to choose something for my little nephew?"

The spring banquet of Huainan Houfu is also the 100th day of Huainan Houfu's eldest grandson and Xie Rong's eldest son, so Xie Fang shouted to give gifts.

But Wisteria is full of Defeng Lou and Defeng Lou at this time.

"Do you still have to pay me back? In the future, I will go to Defeng Tower, and I will explain to him if I look for ten thousand years. ”

Wisteria remembered what the man had said, and her face flushed. (To be continued.) )
