Chapter 22: Three Incidents (Qingyun Plus Change)
After staying in the Hou Mansion for a long time, Xie Ning entered Xiang's bedroom for the first time.
Without looking around, she walked to the end of the bed and said to Xiang who was leaning on the head of the bed: "Xie Ning has seen my uncle. ”
The elders are unkind, but the juniors can't be disrespectful. Xie Ning understood this truth, so he obviously said when he was extremely angry, and he no longer called Xiang his uncle, nor did he really call him by his name.
Xiang didn't say anything, Xie Ning threw away the inexplicable foreboding in his heart, and said straightforwardly: "Xie Ning has been living in Beijing for more than half a month since he entered Beijing in May. ”
After half a month in Beijing, Xie Ning felt that he hadn't made much progress elsewhere, but his words and deeds had improved.
Xiang snorted lightly and threw the object in his hand over.
Quickly catching the red paper with gold leaf, Xie Ning asked puzzledly, "What does Uncle mean by this?" ”
"This is a post from His Royal Highness King An, inviting you to attend the banquet where he left the palace to open the palace. Why, as soon as you climb the high branches, are you going to leave the Hou Mansion? ”
Xie Ning opened the invitation in his hand in a daze, skimmed through it roughly, and barely understood the words on the paper, which was roughly the same as what Xiang said.
"Xie Ning doesn't know the meaning of his uncle's words, why I want to leave the Hou Mansion, my aunt should know it."
Xiang Shi lifted the quilt and got out of bed, walked up to Xie Ning, and said coldly: "Until now, don't you understand?" It's not that I want to force me to stay, but right now, you can't leave. ”
Xie Ning was stunned when he heard this, "I have a father and a small property, and I can be self-sufficient, so why should I stay here and be designed?" My legs are on me, and I want to go, can anyone stop me? ”
"Hmph," Xiang pursed the corners of his lips lightly, and said with disdain, "If you want to blame yourself, you will be blamed for meddling in your own affairs yesterday, and go to King Xuan's territory to save people." Oh, it's really a good means, not only to attract the two highnesses to remember your love, but even to hang your name in front of the emperor. On the cusp of the storm, if you move out of the Hou Mansion at this time, I am afraid that the whole city will think that our Hou Mansion has treated you badly. In this case, if you insist on it again, don't say that I won't allow it, even the Hou Ye and the old lady will not agree. ”
"Didn't my aunt treat me harshly?"
"You-"
After making clear the stakes, Xiang Shi thought that Xie Ning would dispel the idea of moving out of the Hou Mansion, but he didn't expect that this girl heard her words, and did not indicate her going, but choked her first.
Seeing her speechless, Shainin couldn't help but be happy. For some reason, she and Xiang couldn't get along as soon as they met. Two people who look at each other in vain are forced to live under the same roof, which is torture for both of them.
The room was silent for a long time, but Xiang couldn't hold his breath and spoke first, "Say, what do you mean?" ”
Xie Ning stuffed the invitation in his hand into his arms, a pair of apricot eyes swirled, he had already made up his mind in his heart, and said with a sly expression: "I can stay, but-"
There is no need to find someone to confirm, Xie Ning also knows that what Xiang said this time is true. After all, she has always been out of sight and out of mind with herself, so she should wish she left the Hou Mansion. At this moment, others can't help but speculate that she really shouldn't leave.
Uncle Hou's sincere protection for her, Xie Ning has always remembered in his heart. In order to repay this affection, she would not choose to leave the Hou Mansion at this time.
But one yard is one yard, she wants to stay, but there are many things, and she has to 'discuss' with Xiang's well.
"What do you want?"
If you ask for Shaining, the Xiang family will inevitably be restrained. In the final analysis, the things she did were not honorable, and the reason why she talked about this with Xie Ning was also to bluff her, worried that this girl would run to Gao Daonian and the two highnesses to complain.
She didn't know that Shainin was a person who only relied on herself for everything, and if she was cornered, how could she ask someone for help.
After half a cup of tea, Xie Ning considered his rhetoric and thought about everything he could think of in all aspects, before he said to Xiang, who was already impatient to wait: "As my aunt said, Xie Ning has left an impression in front of the nobles, and for the sake of the reputation of the Hou Mansion, Xie Ning will not move out." In the same way, in order to prevent others from discussing his aunt's harsh criticism, Xie Ning thought that his aunt should change. ”
"Okay," Xiang laughed angrily, "I really underestimated you, I didn't expect you to have such thoughts." ”
Not taking Xiang's accusation to heart, Xie Ning said lightly: "I am not a greedy person, and I have indeed caused you inconvenience by temporarily living in the mansion." I can't deny that. I just ask my aunt, would you like to take a step back? ”
The aunt didn't speak, and Xie Ning agreed with the aunt. In fact, what I asked for was very simple, but I hoped that my aunt would no longer interfere with my food, clothing, housing and transportation. ”
Xiang said: "As an elder, I care about you, obviously out of good intentions, how can I interfere? ”
Ignoring Xiang's strong words, Xie Ning continued to speak, "I only have three things I want to discuss with my aunt. One of them is that I hope to have a small kitchen in the courtyard, so I can buy the ingredients myself without having to worry about it. The second is to hope that Baoling Baoxin can leave, Xie Ning's residence temple is small, and it can't accommodate these two big Buddhas. Third, I hope that my aunt will send someone to inform the embroidery lady in the house that she doesn't have to make red clothes for me. Xie Ning's appearance is ordinary, and he can't suppress the bright color, these clothes are really wasted when they are sent to me. ”
Xie Ning's words landed, but Xiang didn't say anything, but looked at her directly, and saw that Xie Ning's heart was furious.
"What does my aunt think?"
Xiang Shi came back to his senses in a trance, with a smile on his face that did not reach the bottom of his eyes, "The first thing, you can." The third thing is also. But I can't say yes to this second thing. ”
"Why?"
"No matter what you did before, if you stay in our Jingyang Marquis Mansion for a day, you will be the cousin of our family for a day. Because you don't know the etiquette and customs, I will specially give the treasure heart and spirit to mention it by your side, so that you don't make a mistake and laugh generously. ”
Tsk, worthy of being a master and servant, even the words are the same. But these two girls who don't do anything except make her ugly on weekdays can be of any use by their side.
Secretly slandering himself, Xie Ning said: "In this case, please ask my aunt to allow me to choose a maid by myself to take the place of Baoxin Baoling." ”
Xiang didn't expect Xie Ning to suddenly open his mind, and his face froze at the moment, but due to the situation, he had to be false and wronged by her, "It's okay, but before you find a candidate, these two maids should stay in your courtyard first." ”
"Okay."
Seeing Xie Ning's voice, Xiang's eyes narrowed slightly, his brows furrowed, and he was in no mood to continue to deal with it, so he said lazily: "I should do these three things, don't mention the matter of moving away, go out." ”
"Shainin farewell."
