Chapter 39: The Draft
This is really a naked provocation, when she was about to salute, the eighth sister pounced, but now she provoked the stab that she did not salute Mrs. Xie. Xie An also knew with his toes that the voice was from the mouth of the fifth sister Xie Anxin.
Sure enough, as soon as he looked up, Xie An also saw Xie An'an sitting on the left side of the old lady, smiling at her with bad intentions, and the ostentatious expression seemed to say, "How is it?" What if you're back? Isn't grandmother not speaking for you? ”
Xie An didn't care about her, and responded to the sentence, "I was bitten by a dog, do you want to go back?" She smiled slightly, immediately knelt down, and kowtowed: "The granddaughter is late to come back, let everyone wait for a long time, and ask the grandmother to punish her." ”
Everyone was taken aback by her move, but they didn't expect that the seventh sister went to Zhuangzi once and came back more calmly. The old lady nodded secretly in her heart, and said that this decision was indeed right. The fifth sister Xie Anxin was half angry with her, she used to like to talk to Xie Anyi the most, and every time Xie Anyi suffered a loss and was scolded by the elders. But the last few times, Xie An has never returned her mouth, as if she is very unforgiving, if this is spread to her in-laws, saying that she is mean, how can it be good. Sixth sister Xie Anning obviously didn't expect Xie An to be so light, but she didn't show it on her face, she just buried her head lower. The most surprising thing is the eighth sister Xie Anmin, how did Xie Anyi become so much in less than half a year? Could it be that she really broke her brain and became stupid?
At this time, Mrs. Xie had already asked Mother Rong to help Xie Anyi get up and gave her a seat, next to Xie Anmin. According to common sense, Xie An is also older than Xie Anmin, and he is the daughter born to his wife, so he should sit on Xie Anmin's throne. But even if it was arranged, Xie An did not express any objections, accepted it gladly, and sat down.
Old Mrs. Xie once again showed a satisfied expression, patted Xie Anmin's hand and said, "Good, since your sister is back, you can sit back." ”
Xie Anmin was ten thousand unhappy in her heart, but when she remembered what her mother Wang had specially instructed her before, she had to glare at Xie Anyi and sit down under her.
Actually, this can be regarded as a crooked beating, where Xie An understands this, and where she sits is the same.
The second wife has been bedridden because of the wind and cold in the past two days, and she did not come, so Mrs. Xie took the sisters to dinner. The rules of everyone's famous family, food is silent, and the dinner table is exceptionally quiet except for the occasional sound of tableware colliding. Xie An didn't eat much, she said in her heart that she would pretend to be the end, and she would just go back and eat some snacks.
Who knew that after dinner, Mrs. Xie sent everyone back, but Xie Anyi was the only one left. Xie Anyi looked at the backs of everyone leaving, and remembered the jealous eyes that Xie Anmin looked at her when he was leaving, sighed secretly in his heart, and lowered his head.
"Yi girl, are you used to living in Zhuangzi these days?" Mrs. Xie spoke.
"It's all about my grandmother's care, and the steward of Zhuangzi takes care of An Ye very well, and he has always had a lot of food and clothing, and An Ye is doing well."
"That's good, you know, you have that disease, and grandmother can't help it. I only heard that Zhuangzi is closer to Jing'an Temple, and it is good to be able to prevent some disasters for you and receive some blessings. ”
"Granddaughter understands." Xie An also flew by thousands of grass and mud horses in his heart, and said in his heart Where are you for me, if it weren't for what that person did behind his back, I would have stayed in Zhuangzi for the rest of my life.
"Good girl, grandmother is sorry for you." Old Mrs. Xie took Xie Anyi's hand, and with the other hand, she took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears on her face, and then said: "Grandmother of the Meng family can't do anything, you know, this is what the old lady Meng meant, for the sake of your father, uncle and the entire Xie family, you can only wronged you." Now Meng Jialang and Eighth Sister have exchanged Geng posts, and there is no power to return to heaven......"
When Xie An heard this, he immediately understood what she meant: "Grandmother, don't think so, since ancient times, marriage should be decided by the parents. In the final analysis, this marriage should actually be the eighth sister's, how can I go against the will of heaven and blindly force it. Xie An also sneered in his heart, and at the same time dealt with it.
Old Mrs. Xie nodded, and said, "It's rare that you are so sensible, it's really in vain that the family loves you." Do you know that in this Beijing draft, your uncle almost lost his official position, just to win a show girl spot for you. If you are fortunate enough to be chosen to enter the royal family, it will be a great honor. ”
Xie An also watched Mrs. Xie say this like a treasure, as if it was a great gift to let her go to the draft girl, she couldn't help but feel funny, and felt disgusted in her heart. I am disgusted that this old lady is benevolent on the surface, but she is also disgusted that this big family is only for its own interests, and never considers whether she, a woman who doesn't know anything, can survive in the sinister palace.
Seeing that Xie An didn't speak, and seeing that there was no change in her face, Mrs. Xie thought that she didn't understand, and said: "In case you fall into the eyes of any nobleman, don't say it's the Wang family and the eighth sister, even me, I have to salute you." ”
Xie An also lowered his head and did not speak, but this reaction was not in line with Old Lady Xie's wishes. She felt that a little girl who had not yet reached the end of her life should have infinite yearning when she heard that she was going to marry into the royal family, not to mention that this move could also help the family and help the family. She mentioned the matter of the eighth sister again, the little girl was arrogant, in order to fight for her breath, let the former rival bow down to her, she should also show something, but Xie An also did nothing.
Old Mrs. Xie thought for a while, and said: "You also know that although our Xie family is a family, and your uncle is an official residence, compared with the four major families in Beijing, the power is still beyond reach. Why? It's just because our family has never had a royal person! If there is, your grandfather's family will not have to stay outside the Saiwai for so many years and will not be able to return to Beijing. ”
Sure enough, after saying this, Xie An was stunned for a moment and nodded.
She had just thought about it, and since she didn't agree, she couldn't change anything, so she obeyed first and complied. Anyway, there is still a few days before the draft, so she will live a good life comfortably for a few days first, and then she will slowly figure out a way to do things in the future. Alas, is this procrastination?
"Well, good girl, let's go back first. Tomorrow will not be used by me to ask for peace, have a good rest, no matter how good Zhuangzi is, there is no comfort at home, and then start morning and dusk in three days. Mrs. Xie achieved her goal, so she issued an eviction order.
Xie An was also blessed, so he retreated, and he didn't say anything along the way, just because his mind was full of two things.
……
As soon as he entered Qingfeng Garden, Xie An also immediately instructed Ai Yan to find Bailian.
As soon as Aimo waited for her to change her clothes, Bai Lian walked in, and Aimo Aiyan retreated outside the door.
Xie An also only felt that there was nowhere to vent the anger in his heart, and looked at Bai Lian, who was kneeling on the ground to ask for peace, and said: "You go and ask your master, he got me out of Zhuangzi and let me enter Beijing, just to let me marry the emperor?" Be his sister-in-law? If so, I really want to thank him. ”
Bai Lian was taken aback after hearing this, and looked at her in a daze.
"Ugh." Xie An also sighed, "It seems that you don't know, you go and bring me the words, see what he says." ”
"Yes." Bai Lian's hands were covered with cold sweat and walked out.
Aimo Aiyan outside saw that Bai Lian had just come in and left, and her face was a little strange, for fear that something would happen to Xie An, so she hurriedly pushed the door in.
"Which of you two can sue me, what's going on with my grandfather's family?"
"Poof", Aimo Aiyan knelt down in unison.
