Xie Zhen's first festival in Shangjing was the Double Ninth Festival.

This **** went to Mrs. Xie's yard early as usual, and had breakfast with the old man's family, and now there are two of their grandchildren living in Tanghua Hutong, Xie Zhen is always worried that the old man feels lonely, so he tries to be as lively as possible every time he gets along, hoping to make the old man happy, but Mrs. Xie thinks she is noisy, so every time she hasn't said a few words, Mrs. Xie has to wave her hand to stop her, the only exception is only when she is given a lesson, she can talk about an article with the old man endlessly, At that time, the old man not only didn't think she talked too much, but often nodded in agreement and encouraged her to say more of her own opinions.

Usually, Xie Zhen stays in Mrs. Xie's study directly after breakfast, but today's day is special, and Xie Zhen can't help but ask clearly.

So when she gave Mrs. Xie a flower cake, she asked, "Grandfather, do you want to go out for a walk today?" Gathering with a few adults? ”

Old lady Xie sighed and raised her eyebrows, as if the little granddaughter in front of him had impressed him again.

But no, at this young age, he was worried about letting his grandfather take advantage of the festival to have a good relationship with his colleagues, and this clever mind has no one else except his little granddaughter, right?

Old lady Xie snorted lightly and said, "I'm going to go out after dinner, you can arrange it yourself, you don't have to study today, you can go to your third brother to play." ”

"I see." Xie Hao nodded obediently.

Now that it is said that it is good, Old Lady Xie will not talk nonsense. He only reached out for a flask to pour himself wine.

Xie Zhen reached out and pressed the flask first.

Old Lady Xie's face sank.

Xie Zhen smiled and got up and poured him a glass of chrysanthemum wine, and then took the initiative to let Nan'er take the wine down.

Old lady Xie couldn't help but be a little angry, and didn't drink the glass of wine she poured, but kept a calm face and didn't speak.

Xie Zhen pursed her lips and smiled slightly, stretched out her hand and pushed the wine glass in front of him, and said softly: "Grandfather, drinking too much wine is more beneficial than the body, today's festival, just drink one or two glasses to suit the occasion." Also, you'll be out later. If you want to socialize. Don't drink much. “

Although Mrs. Xie thought she was too lenient, but fortunately, she knew that she was a good person, so she didn't embarrass her, so she just looked up and drank the glass of chrysanthemum wine with an expressionless face.

That's it. It's a compromise to agree to her, right? Xie Zhen smiled and sandwiched another piece of flower cake for him.

Wait until Old Lady Xie goes out. Xie Zhen sent Yun to go to Baiyang Hutong for a walk. Ask Xie Yu if he has any plans for today.

Yun came back not long after he came and went, and replied to her: "The young master said that he had already made arrangements today, so he won't come to play with Miss." ”

The third brother has an arrangement? What does it do? Xie Zhen was stunned. I wanted to ask carefully, but Yunlai made an excuse to slip away.

Xie Hao felt that there was something strange in it, but if Xie Yu didn't want her to know, she didn't plan to ask herself.

"Miss, why don't I go out with you?" Nan'er saw her walking back and forth in the yard bored, so she quickly put down the veil in her hand and asked her.

Xie Zhen shook his head and said, "No, there's nothing to do in the capital." ”

Zhu Jin, who originally heard Nan'er's mention and came over happily, couldn't help but feel a little frustrated when he heard this, and pouted: "Why is it not fun to go to the capital?" Miss, you haven't been out to see it again. ”

Xie Hao only smiled.

Zhu Jin then pouted her and said, "Miss, I have been in Shangjing for many years, and I tell you that this street is lively!" There are many delicious and fun things that are not available in Lin'an City! ”

Those delicious and fun Xie Zhen have long been tired of it, but thinking that Zhu Hibiscus is still just a child, and the child is very lively, she can't keep her in the yard, so she said: "I really don't want to go out, otherwise you and Yun will come and go, and bring some delicious and fun back, let me see the freshness." ”

"Isn't that right?" Zhu Jin suddenly grinned at the corners of his mouth, hurriedly lowered his head to cover up, and secretly glanced at Xie Hao's face, seeing that she was not angry, then raised his head and said quickly: "Then it's decided!" I'll be sure to come back sooner! ”

Xie Zhen nodded with a smile, and asked Nan'er again, "Nan'er, will you go to play with them too?" I finally came to the capital, and I have to go out to see it! Later, when I went back to Lin'an City and talked about it with others, I also had a face, didn't I? ”

Nan'er smiled and said, "No, it's the same next time I go out with you." Besides, if I go out today, who will serve your tea? ”

Zhu Jin immediately said: "Then I won't go either!" I also stayed to serve the young lady. ”

Xie Hao saw through her thoughts, and couldn't help but smile and said, "No need." Go and have fun! I don't blame you. ”

Zhu Jin's face turned red, she was only recently sent to serve Miss Six, she should be more attentive in everything, but she didn't expect to just think about playing today, so compared with Nan'er who served Miss earlier, it seems that she doesn't understand the rules, I didn't expect Miss to blame her......

Nan'er also pushed her with a smile and said, "Okay, okay, you can go!" If you feel uncomfortable, bring me something delicious! ”

"That's fine!" Zhu Jin is not a person who twists, and seeing that neither of them meant to blame themselves, he let go of Fang Cai's little entanglement, patted his chest and said loudly: "Just wrap me up." ”

As soon as Hibiscus left, the courtyard became quieter. Nan'er was still sitting under the porch and playing with her fingers flexibly flying up and down.

Xie Zhen looked at it for a while, and really admired it in her heart, so she sincerely admired: "Nan'er, your hands are so skillful, your combed hair is beautiful, and your hair is also beautiful." ”

Nan'er was complimented, her eyes brightened a little, and she said with a smile: "This is all taught by my mother." ”

Xie Hao nodded with a smile, and asked her again: "Nan'er, are you following me to the capital now, do you think about your family in Lin'an City?" ”

Nan'er smiled and said, "Of course it's impossible not to worry. But I'm following Miss now, serving Miss. My father and aunt are also very face-saving in the house because of this! When I get back, I will tell them about the novelties I have seen in the upper capital, and they will be even happier. ”

Xie Zhen smiled: "Then you should go out with Zhu Hibiscus today!" Maybe you can buy something to make a gift for your father and aunt. ”

Where does Nan'er not yearn for the downtown of the capital? But he still sticks to his duty and said with a smile: "It's the same next time I go out." ”

She said a little strangely: "Miss, you ask me like this, is it because you are worried about the old lady and the young master?" ”

Xie Hao nodded, "I haven't left them for a long time. ”

You've never left, right? Miss is still a child after all, and she must feel very uncomfortable when she left her parents at such a young age.

Nan'er hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, it's almost the New Year now, and then you can go back to Lin'an City with the old lady." ”

Xie Zhen smiled: "There are still a few months before the Chinese New Year!" ”

Nan'er's face turned red. Said: "That's going to be soon." ”

Xie Zhen stood up with a smile. "Yes, yes, yes." I want to write them a letter now, and if you can put it in your hand, grind it for me! ”

It's just to pass the time, how can it compare to what Miss explained? Nan'er hurriedly stood up and said, "I'll grind for Miss." ”

The ink is polished. Xie Zhen didn't know what to write for a while.

Think back to that life. She even helped Yan Ming correct the folds. But she didn't even write a letter to her family - in that life, the family affection was weak, who could she write to?

Nan'er thought it was strange. But he didn't bother her silently, just grinded slowly and waited quietly.

Xie Zhen pondered for a long time and finally put pen to paper.

first greeted his father and mother at the beginning of the letter, and then asked a few words about his younger brother Xie Jue's recent situation, and then briefly explained the situation after he arrived in the capital.

After writing three pieces of paper, Xie Zhen put down her pen and bit her nails to read the letter three times first.

She didn't know how to write other people's letters, so she was a little nervous, worried that her letters were too verbose......

"Forget it!" She made up her mind not to rewrite it, so she simply folded the letter and sealed it into the envelope, and then turned her head and asked, "Nan'er, do you want to say something to your father and aunt?" I'll write another one for you. ”

Nan'er shook her head and said, "No." My father and aunt are illiterate, and even if they receive a letter, they can't read it. They just need to know that you are doing well, Miss, and I will be fine if you are good. ”

"That's right." Xie Zhen groaned: "Then it's better to go to the street in two days to buy some things for your father and aunt, and I will pay for it, and send it back with those things when I send the letter." ”

Nan'er hurriedly said: "How can this make Miss spend money?" ”

Xie Zhen said resolutely: "I don't think there's anything wrong, there's no need to say anything more, this matter is directly decided." ”

Nan'er had no choice but to agree.

After writing the letter, how to send it became a problem, and as soon as the old lady Xie returned home, Xie Zhen hurriedly went to the old lady's yard.

Old lady Xie obviously drank a lot of wine outside and was full of alcohol, but after getting drunk, he seemed a lot more kind, and when he saw Xie Zhen, he even greeted her with a smile.

Xie Zhen was a little angry in his heart, he forgot what she said in the morning, so he didn't come closer, and only asked the maid to tell the kitchen to cook a bowl of decanting soup for the old lady.

Old lady Xie saw that his little granddaughter had a straight face, and he was even more happy, and said with a snort of wine: "Let me tell you, I have drunk less today, you go to see that Zhou Lao'er, he drank down at that time, and was carried back by his subordinates." ”

Xie Zhen looked at his grandfather with a red face and a smug face, he was very helpless, the old man Zhou in his mouth was the father of General Zhou, and the two old people were still learning how to fight wine with young people, if they were seen drunk, what would it look like?

The decanting soup was quickly served, and Xie Hao personally served it, and when it was cold, it was handed to Mrs. Xie.

Old lady Xie cooperated, and took a big gulp of the bowl.

After drinking, he yawned, and Xie Zhen asked someone to fetch water to freshen up the old lady, and took off his clothes, shoes and socks for the old man.

As soon as the old lady Xie was hit by the bed, she soon fell asleep, and the room suddenly snored loudly.

Xie Zhen couldn't cry or laugh, she didn't know when the old man would wake up, and she was worried that he would be hungry when he woke up, so she went to the kitchen and told the cook to boil a pot of white porridge for the old lady, always warm, so that the old lady could eat it as soon as he woke up.

When Mrs. Xie woke up, it was the middle of the night, and the sequelae of drunkenness immediately appeared, only feeling dry mouth, and he didn't care about calling the maid, so he personally lit a candle and poured several cups of tea.

After drinking water and quenching my thirst, my stomach rumbled.

Where can I find anything to eat at this stall? Old lady Xie was a little angry, so she only patted her stomach hard, and prepared to go back to the bed to lie down.

But there was already a maid who heard the movement and hurriedly came in with white porridge and side dishes.

As soon as Old Lady Xie smelled the hot aroma, his whole body was comfortable, and the movement in his stomach was even louder, and he felt strange again: "Who ordered this?" ”

The maid said truthfully: "It was explained by Miss Zhen." ”

Is the girl so careful? Old lady Xie was a little surprised, but she was even more surprised when she saw that it was a porridge and side dishes.

"This porridge was also ordered to be boiled by Miss Zhen?"

The maid nodded, "Yes." The young lady also specially advised that the fire on the stove should not be extinguished, and the porridge should be warm at all times. ”

What a delicate child. Old lady Xie nodded, stopped talking, and only took the chopsticks and the side dishes to take a mouthful of white porridge.

After this mouthful, Mrs. Xie felt comfortable both in her heart and stomach, so she slept very well this night.

Early the next morning, when Xie Zhen came to have breakfast with him, he intuitively felt that the old man was in a very good mood today, because he actually took the initiative to talk to her about the customs of the capital.

Xie Zhen naturally didn't think that it was because of the bowl of white porridge she explained last night, but the old man was very happy because he got together with Mr. Zhou yesterday, so he made up his mind that he would always build an old man's house to go out and gather with old friends in the future.

Old lady Xie couldn't help but ask her what she did yesterday.

Xie Zhen said that he had sent someone to ask Xie Yu about the situation.

"The third brother didn't know what to do, he didn't have time to play with me, and I didn't dare to disturb him, so I stayed in my yard."

Old lady Xie was a little unhappy and said, "What is he busy with?" Busy copying books again? ”

Xie Zhen hurriedly said: "I don't know this, in short, he knows what the third brother does, and grandfather, don't scold him, otherwise the third brother will think that I will sue him in front of your grandfather all day long!" ”

Old lady Xie snorted.

Xie Zhen saw this situation, and didn't know if he was agreeing to her, so he hurriedly changed the topic and distracted the old man's attention: "By the way, I almost forgot that I still have one more thing to ask my grandfather!" I wrote a letter to my father and mother yesterday, but I don't know how to send it back. ”

This is not the same thing at all in the eyes of Mrs. Xie, he said: "There is a special messenger in the house, you can write a letter and hand it to him directly, he is straightforward, and it is more convenient to bring back the letter." ”

It's just great! There is a special messenger, so it is more convenient to bring things back!

Xie Zhen narrowed her eyes with a smile and nodded vigorously, "Granddaughter knows." (To be continued.) )
